Earn From ReviewMe? 2007-07-08 10:39:43 Earn money with ReviewMe.com? No, not anymore for me. I have ended my relationship with ReviewMe.com UNLESS they pay what I am supposed to be entitled. It is my hard work. I am making money at home. I am writing for a living. I have so many work to do everyday. I have to look after children, bring my kids to school, do housework, settle with the three meals per day and I have to earn money to supplement the household income. I need to coach my children in their school work. When there are tasks for me to complete, I had to delay or postpone any coaching session to my children. Everyday I need to rush for so many assignments. I tried to produce the best results for every advertisers. By doing and writing more, my hope is that I can earn more so that all the materials needs as well as daily expenses of the family household can be met. Writing more tasks mean that time spent on children were lessen. Writing more tasks means that I had to sacrifice much lesser on certain aspects of my othe

Money and Politics 2007-07-06 09:21:51
It never crossed my mind that there would be such kind of politics in the internet world. I thought that Second Life people are ‘friendly’, there are so many ‘kind’ people in the United States, United Kingdom, and various parts of the world. Little did I know that I was wrong. In Second Life, I had experienced scheming people, sleazy people and various dishonest people. There are nice people as well.
If there is no such thing as Money
, would there be such politics around? Would people betray one another, plot against one another to gain popularity and reach their ultimate goals. Intriguers would design plots and various devious schemes to ‘find ways and means’ of making opportune news, links to help them to reach the top of the ladder, though they may not sound obvious and direct.
Today I had written a few post about sltopsites, which is the targeted political talk of the day. Obviously sltopsites owner has already planted his seeds and these peopl
Blogging Sick 2007-07-04 10:27:52 I am sure many of you know that you can get paid to blog. Yes, you can earn money from your blogs. As long as you have a blog, you can start earning money! One of the way you can earn money from your blog is to sell your own products. Take pictures of your products, publish them on your blog and you are showing people around the world your products! Even if you do not have your own products, you can always sign up various affiliate programs on the internet like commission junction, shareasale etc. Besides affiliate programs, there are other ways of earning money from your blogs. The most common one is Google Adsense. Google Adsense allows you to earn money when visitors click on your advertisements on your blogs.

GST Increase 2007-07-01 10:38:19 Today the GST ( Goods and Services Tax in Singapore ) increase started in Singapore. The GST is being increased from 5% to now 7%! I went shopping today. I went to NTUC supermarket to get some food and groceries. It does make a difference to our lives. As you know I am already Money Sick. Adding another 2% definitely make a lot of difference to people like me, poor family. If you ask how much $0.20 means to a millionaire, it would be nothing. 20cents are just peanuts to rich people. How rich is rich? This is an interesting subject. I shall deal with this topic some other time. Back to 20cents. 20cents can be a lot of money to a school kids. Say you want to buy a lucky egg that cost you $1.00. However, you have only $0.80 in your wallet. I am sure some of you have encounter such scenario before. Sometimes you find money on the road and you belittle the dirty-looking 20cents on the road. Sometimes they are sparkling ones too. You would have appreciated the value of 20c
Money Sick Avatar 2007-06-30 06:02:44 Just finished added some animation to my avatar. What you see is me in short hair. Our hair grows and to maintain your hairstyle and also to keep your hair in shape, you need to go to the hairdresser for a trim or cut. Cutting hair need MONEY. To save money, I have long hair. Every trip to the hairdresser means that I have to spend at least $10 for every hair cut. If my hair is longer, cutting my hair would cost $12-$14. Making lesser trip to the hairdresser means that I am saving these money. Imagine, if I have short hair style. This means that every month I need to go to the hair dresser for trimming my hair. Every month $10 for the cheapest hair cut, a year would have been $120! I can buy Shiseido skin care products with $120! Now, I shall mention about my clothing and my face. To save money, I wear cheap clothes. Simple T-shirt and trousers. I am not wearing any shoes — staying at home is the cheapest. There is no need to spend money when you stay at home &m Read more:Avatar

An Introduction To Money Sick 2007-06-29 06:37:18 This is my first post on Money
Sick. It is going to be short. Just an introduction because it is getting very late now. I had just posted on the page About Me, before that I was doing all the ‘dressing-up’ and ‘cosmetics’ for this blog. I am more or less done with the template for now. There are still some minor details which I would like to alter but not for the moment now. This is going to be a causal blog about Money discussion and thoughts. All solely on my own opinion and whether true or not, whether you agree or not, I welcome your feedback and suggestion. Why I want to create this blog? Well, a blog is a easy website to build for people who are computer ‘illiterate’. I had never taken up computer studies nor any computer programming. I would love to know much about scripting and computer programming, then I would be able to do more than just blog. This blog is for the purpose of conveying my thoughts to my audience, the readers Read more:Introduction
Google Adsense Facts 2007-07-11 00:06:26 All You Want To Know About Google
Ads The recent google ads rants and also Xun’s queries have prompted me to write on my google adsense experience and all you really want to know of my google adsense. As I mentioned in Money Sick, there are a few groups of people who may or may not use google adsense. I belong to the fourth group of people. I may be working part-time, considering my many obligations and commitments in life, but I am putting full-time energy and full-time management in my ‘online business’. In the beginning, it is hobby, but soon it is a hobby cum making money, and now it can also be considered my business. Who says that those who put Google Ads on the websites can earn a lot of money? Who says that when you put Google Ads, it drives your customer away? This is all just how you perceive it to be. Whether a product is good or bad, it all depends on YOU, how YOU LOOK at it. If you think that Google Adsense

Understand Advertisements 2007-07-09 21:28:54 Traditionally, nobody likes salespeople. Anyone who sees a salespeople coming to your door would close the door. Nobody would say ‘hi you are welcome’ to a salesperson. If there are somebody who even offer a cup of tea or drink to the salesperson, then more people would love sales job. Traditionally advertisements are gimmicks employed by various companies to attract consumers to purchase their products. Many people had bad experienced with salespeople. When there is no values added to consumers, soon advertisements are considered a nuisance. People hate advertisements. They only mislead people. However, in today’s world, as more people are educated, there should be a different mindset. Just like insurance, in the earlier years, the old people would say it is a taboo or inauspicious to talk about insurance. Why? Talking about insurance involves death. To the superstitious, it would mean that the living or the subject person wants the othe Read more:Advertisements

ReviewMe Update 2007-07-08 20:57:04 The day after I had posted my blog about ReviewMe Payments and removal of advertiser links to the affected blogs, I received an email reply from Text-link Ads Chief Financial Officer, Bill Fish. Check my blog at Money Kingdom, my pioneer blog about Money. In my opinion, a blog is a communication tool, a useful one, because you can say as much, show as much with your writings and photographs or pictures. Message boards require you to click on so many threads and I don’t like that. Similarly for forum. A blog is arranged in chronological order. Information can be search within the blog or outside with the use of google search bar. This is very useful and efficient, where time is all money!This is to show you the proof that all I am posting is true and I know it is bad to discuss the negative things in this world. But it is a fact. In shows, we see all the good things. In news, we hear what the news want you to hear, the good of business. People says the good in the business. How Read more:Update
Money Facts 2007-07-05 07:17:16 This is a blog about Money
. I should tell you what I know about Money. What does money mean to you? Do you know what really is money? It is easy to say the word ‘Money’ but few people can really understand and appreciate the value of money. In the past, I would only know that Money is for you to buy things. Money is for you to save for emergency use. That is everything I know of money. But there are more things to know about money.
Just as I want to speak out my views on what you should know about money, Helium has this topic and I had posted it there. Here is what I have posted at Helium:
Everything you need to know about money
What is Money? Money is a currency, an instrument or objects which you use in exchange for something. In olden days, people use stones, silver or gold as method of making payments when they wanted to exchange for something. That has brought so much inconvenience to people. Not only does carrying such stones around heavy, it is not a fair methods of
ReviewMe Paid 2007-07-23 07:47:50 This is the latest snapshot I had just taken from ReviewMe, my father’s account. As you can compared this with my previous snapshot which I had taken some time ago at this post: Earn From ReviewMe, they had finally paid $70 to me. In addition, they had settled all payment arrears to me at my own account and my mother’s account. I had received the full payment for all the account now and I have restored all links to the various posts being affected as shown in my post Earned From ReviewMe. I am glad that they had finally paid and my mother was relieved to hear that too. To all the advertisers affected, I had restored all the links now and I want to thank ReviewMe for making the payments to me.

Money Kingdom Imported 2007-08-04 23:14:29 I am very busy managing my other blogs. Everyday, there are so many tasks awaiting for me to do. Sometimes I have as much as five to six assignments to be completed. Sometimes I cannot finish them and I have to leave it till the next day. My highest record so far is one day 11 tasks. It took me one whole day to finish three-quarter of it and I cannot finish all the tasks within a day. I manage to complete 10 task by midnight. That was really busy and a fruitful day. I was thinking not to import any posts from my other blogs, but I had not been updating here, the content is not much here. Today I had import my first blog on Money
, at Money Kingdom
to Money Sick. So you can find my past posts about Money here now. Money Sick started only in June, so any posts before that is all my previous efforts.
$5 Per Post? 2007-08-04 10:03:12 How much do you think you are worth? How much do you think you ought to be paid for a piece of your writing and your opinion to be posted on your blog? Do you just allow anyone to place a link on your site? How much do you think a few words or a few pixels are worth on your blog or website? All these questions are dependent on your page rank of your website, your blog. Your page rank will affect the traffic to your website as well. How much you feel you are worth and how much you think each post that you write is all subjective. For a student, a post which pays them $5 may be sufficient for them. For a person who has a page rank of five or more, a post that pays $5 would be too little for them. Most of my blogs have a page rank of three. Before I blog for money, I had blogs with page rank of Five, four, three, two and one. After I had placed numerous advertisers links on my blogs, my page rank decreases, now my highest page rank is three, lowest zero. Well,

On this Special Day, I want to present this National Day Gift to you, National Education Gallery of QiHua Primary School, to show you the history of Singapore.
Money Sick seems to be neglected. Not exactly. I find time for all my blogs. Some blogs have been left not updated for two months, but I still visit them, patrol here and there. I set my priorities, the important ones will always be need to be done first.
Today is National Day and I want to wish everybody a very Happy National Day. If you would like to know a little introduction to History of Singapore, then visit my blog at PeaceBella.com or Peace Diary. It will be going to be a long holidays since the day after National Day is a holiday and we still have Saturday and Sunday. Of course this applies only to students and for self-employed people like me.
For self-employed, the sole proprietors and freelancers, whichever you called it, no work means no pay. So whether it is holiday a not, you need to work, if you w

Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ~Matthew 7:7
How true this is. If you don’t ask, who will know what you want? If you don’t seek, how you you find? Probably there are some exceptional case, just like the chinese story, the hunter who sit under the tree and waiting for the rabbit to knock into the tree again (守祩待兔).

also ask people for money and some people took pity on them and give them money. They may be lucky if they do not ask and people just give it to them.
There are many financial advisers standing outside some metres away from CPF Board like that of Bishan and Causeway Point. They also do cold canvassing at MRT stations where traffic is good such as those of Tampines MRT station, Woodlands MRT station, Orchard Road MRT station and Jurong Point MRT station.
Whenever I walked past all these Financial advisers, they hardly approach me. Perhaps, only three out of ten will app
Financial Advisers 2007-08-07 04:49:24
What is your view about Financial
Advisers? Who are the financial advisers? In the past, we have people who sell insurance, they were called insurance agents. Insurance agents are not very well-accepted by people. The same applies to many sales people. This is because many consumers which are the people who buy things from this salespeople, got themselves cheated or had bad experiences with these people. In the past, salespeople used to go knocking from door to door to sell their products.
In the past, salespeople are not as educated as now. There are no minimum entry requirements for anyone to sell insurance. As long as you can pass the Life Insurance Examination, you have the license, you can sell insurance. It is only a few years ago that the government want to raise the standards of Life Insurance agents. Not only do insurance agents need to pass their examinations and get their licence, they need to have at least 3 GCE ‘O’ Level passes and at least 21 year
MoneySick Icon 2007-08-14 01:40:40 This is MoneySick.com Icon. The letter M can means many things. M is one of the 26 alphabets that we learn in English. M Stands for the word “many, “multiples“, “multiply“, “more” and M itself stands for many things. In turn of animals, M stands for Mammals — monkeys. In nature, M stands for mountains. The letter M itself looks like two mountains with a valley. To climb mountains, we need walk long journey and perhaps miles and miles of journey to reach the peak of the mountain. To be successful in life, we mostly equate it with climbing the mountain. When a person is successful, he is seen standing on top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is sharp or have a small space, as not many people can climb up the top. The top is also cold, but at the top of the mountains, you can see a lot of things. Staying at the top does not mean that you are safe and you are to be complacent. To stay at the top, you still need to do yo
PayU2Blog Review 2007-08-13 18:44:20 The first pay date which I had received message was on 20.7.07. I signed up PayU2Blog on 26.6.07. Obviously it is very new to me and I do not know much details about them. The tasks assigned to me was rather ambiguous. Initially I thought I can choose not to accept the tasks displayed at my task panel, as is with other blog advertising company — it was stated there ‘accept’, so I thought if I don’t want the task, I don’t click on ‘accept’. But I know I was wrong only after weeks later when all the assignments due date was over. The admin sent out message to say that all assignments must be done, otherwise accounts will be closed. After that, I did all the assignments. Every posts that you do is $5 at PayU2Blog. So far, that is what I had received for the posts that are assigned to me. Each post has to have a minimum of 60 words. How much faith do I have for PayU2Blog? It all depends on their deliveries of promis
LoudLaunch Blogs Submission 2007-08-12 18:44:21 Got to know LoudLaunch by chance, from another person’s blog one day. I signed up for it on 30th July 2007. I add my blogs, a handful of them, and it says waiting for approval. Everyday I go to LoudLaunch to check whether my blogs are approved a not. I am sick of checking now. Up till now, nothing is changed. Blogs
still pending approval. Bloggerwave and Smorty are very fast at that. PayPerPost is rather slow too. So until my blogs are approved then I can start blogging for money at LoudLaunch. Read more:Submission
Blogs Advertising Companies Review 2007-08-18 04:25:56 I am very sick of PayU2Blog. For ‘treating bloggers like that’, I have not been posting much on ReviewMe. So far I had done one post, and I hope I will get paid the next month. As for PayU2Blog, quite similar case happens.
This is what I am supposed to be paid but was not paid at all.
Noticed the paydate was on 17th August, which was yesterday and it was over, and yet still no payment received. As you can see, I am not lying. I have a total of $50 on the top list and a total of $30 on current paydate which total up to be $80, but no payment at all from them.
There were two persons, Heath Gurley and Tony Feriozzi. Can you imagine, none of them reply to me? When they can send out messages all these time and update their blogs, but they have no time to reply any mails, or even to make payments to bloggers.

For a post that pays you $10, you will received $10 via your PayPal account. This is the kind of blog advertising company that I like. We can trust Bloggerwave as they deliver their promise to us. At Bloggerwave, the management strive to provide better service to advertisers and bloggers — Of late, they had their template changed and it is for the better. I love the new look, but there seems to be some problems on accepting tasks. However, I believe they would solve the problem, its just a matter of time.Bloggerwave is very different from other blog advertising company in that they accept blogs of other languages as well, not just English. In fact, they accept blogs that are written in English, Danish, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Italian, French and Spanish! In addition, they are rather fast in approving your blogs. Upon approval of your blogs, you can start posting for advertisers, get p
PayU2Blog Payment Received 2007-08-21 01:32:15 Last night I finally had my payment from PayU2Blog. I do not want to say more ‘bad’ things, since I had what I had and what I deserved. For all that she had helped me, and for all the correspondence she had replied to me, I had wished to present this song “Stuck On You” to her, Keith.
I know that I am very bad to have written so much stuff on PayU2Blog, but if I would not do such, will I be paid today? No one would have replied me, despite all the mails I had sent to them. Last night, I sent “Thank You” emails to Heath and Keith. I asked Heath whether how should I go about adding blogs to the system since it was mentioned that we can add more blogs to it. Until now, no replies. Well, what matter most is I get paid. Since the problem is resolved, I will let this matter rest now.

KeyMan Insurance 2007-09-25 15:18:59 Many businesses have an important person. They are the owner of the company. They are the boss or CEO of the company. They are the one who ensure the smooth operation of their company and the employees.
I had come across many small businesses while working as a Financial Adviser. Most small businesses do not know the importance of keyman insurance at all. Most often people know the importance of protecting their assets, but little do they know that the greatest asset in their company is they themselves! Without them, the ‘head’ of the business, the business would not have been possible. Should premature death happens to the keyman of the company, future business would be affected. Business might face bankruptcy when the business cannot continue.
Most small business owners want to save money. They regard insurance as a waste of money. However, I would urge these people to consider taking up keyman insurance. Your business is your dream and you put a lot of effor

Time vs Money
Clara went to a private neighbourhood doctor’s clinic and we pay a total of S$34 for doctor’s consultation and medicine. If we go to the polyclinic, perhaps, we pay less than $10 for everything or perhaps about $12-$15, depending on the cost of the medicine. I would rather bring her to the private clinic than to the polyclinic. How do I make such decision? For going to the polyclinic, I need to take public transport. At the polyclinic, I need to wait about 3-4 hours to get to see a doctor. The fastest, if not so crowded, would perhaps be in about 1-2 hours based on my past experience. At the private neighbourhood doctor’s clinic, I do not need to wait more than 30minutes. For a difference of perhaps $20, I save time — I can save up to 4 hours. What can I do in four hours? I can do a lot of things. If I am lucky, I can get a post of $50 or $500, and I am earning back the money. However, I am never su Read more:Choice
Save Money 2007-09-16 04:55:10 Something which people might think of is that for working at home, I am very free. This is absolutely not true. Working at home means that you have to work doubly hard, harder than any other people if you want to achieve results and if you want to survive.
Today I was so busy with my work online and at the same time I need to make sure that the children did their work. Teaching, working online, and having to play the part of disciplining the children really made my adrenalin pumping. I had to rush for so many things for I know that time is money and I have deadlines to meet and responsibilities and commitments to fulfill. When Vanessa came to ask me what was I doing, I answered that I was working. She again giggled and said,”Don’t lie, you playing games!” She just could not believe that I was working just because I was at home. This is the normal mindset of most people, not only children.
Working at home means that all the overheads like electrical bills, pa Read more:Money
