"Words of Inspiration for Bloggers"

I don't when was it shown but I was able to watch one of the episode of "Convergence" in Net 25 featuring two of the top bloggers in the Philippines. They are Abe Olandres of yugatech.com and Carl of carlocab.com. This is the second time I've seen Abe Olandres on TV and talking about blogging. The first one was on Mel and Joey.

Anyway what I wanted to share pointers what I have heard from Abe Olandres which I know bloggers can use as a Standard Operating Procedures and also I got some inputs also.

1. Blog the things you like - write about the things that you like and you think you have an edge on it. Don't try to write something that you know you are only forced to write or you wanted to write because you wanted to earn.

2. Know your limitation - when writing a blog you need to know your capacity. Example you like to blog about travel but you haven't been to the place or you can't even go to the place so how can you blog about it when you haven't experienced it first hand. Research is good but the most convincing is your first hand experience.

3. Blogging is a skill - writing is a skill and skills are supposed to be enhanced so in order to get better writing style you have to practice your skill, do some research, and learn new things.

4. Discipline - this is the best part that I've heard from Abe Olandres, discipline. Disciplining yourself to write at least once a day or before you go to sleep at night. By doing this, on my own opinion, you will enhance your writing skills if you discipline yourself to write one article every day or every night.

5. Patience is a virtue - this is something that I always remember, everything will be nothing if you're not patient enough to do all this things.

"Auction or Sale"

I have this six different basketball trading cards which I think I got since I was in high school. They're not "GRADE A" in a point of view of a collector but I think its worth collecting. This six, was the only basketball trading card left and I don't know yet what to do with it.

What do you think I must do? Sell it or put it on auction? If I will sell it, how much do you think it would cost? And I will put it on auction do you think many collector will bid on it? What do you think? Please do so give me some advice on this one. Thanks!

"Entrecard New Feature, Approved!"

Just Recently my account Entrecard.com got approved of their new feature, the cash out transfer.  Credits earned from blog posts, ads on your blog, drops made, and other way of earning EC credits can now be exchange for cash and take note it's dollar.

I'm sure EC users are very happy of this new feature, especially those who earn a lot of EC credits.  The hard earned EC credits are now will turn into mines of cash.

The system simply cash out the amount of EC credits that you want to cash.  1000 EC credits is equivalent to $1.  This is really good and thanks for Entrecard for making a system like this.  The only thing that I'm thinking is how can EC users use or get the coverted amount?

"Socialspark.com"

The hardest part of making blog is building a foundation, meaning establishing the most important parts details of blogs.  In my experience I never thought of this before.  I only build the blog, write whenever I want, and never exerted any effort in establishing popularity and ranking as result it took me one year to start gaining traffic and popularity.   

Today, I'm going to share about the  website where most of my earnings came from.   The site is called "Socialspark.com" and I think it is related to Payperpost.com.  Socialspark.com offer a variety of earning opportunity.   Before you can start earning you must meet the following criteria.   First you must have at least 20 original post within the past 90 days.  Once the blog is approved you can start participating on the programs.

First to their programs or earning opportunity is the pay per post.  On this scheme Socialspark.com provide a list of opportunity to write. It is indicated in the list if the opportunity is still open and if the blogger is qualified to take the opportunity.  If it is open, it also indicates if the blogger will have to wait or can create the post instantly.  Once the blogger is qualified an email will be sent to inform that the they are qualified.  The blogger or publisher is given twelve (12) hours to create and post the review.   Your post will pass on two kinds of review to qualify.  One is the automated review, where it will only look for the number of words and the text links.  And the second is manual review the post which they will review word for word, sentence by sentence and even the simple mispelled word.   If it passed on all the review, the amount shown on the opportunity will credited to the account of the blogger/publisher.

Second is the sponsorship,  in this scheme, blogs of bloggers/publishers who've taken the opportunity will advertise the sponsors ad banner for a certains days.

Third is the affiliate program, on this scheme blogger/publisher will have to take the opportunity to be part of the program.  Once they have taken the opportunity they will be directed to a page with banners.  Together with this banners comes with scripts that will be posted to qualified blogs.  Bloggers/publishers who've taken the affiliate program earns through sales, leads, or conversion depending on the number of viewers and readers who visited the blog and purchased the said items.

Lastly is the cost per click,  bloggers/publishers will have to paste text links and banners to their website or blog.  They get to earn through visitors clicks on the text links and banners shown on the blog.  This clicks are then reviewed by Click Forensics and once approved the amount times the number of clicks will be credited to you account.   The more clicks the bigger the possibility of bigger earnings.

These are the programs and schemes running with socialspark.com.  Earnings are great but you will have to put effort to obtain the earnings that you want.
