Bidvertiser
2007-07-18 22:43:00
Okay. . now, i think im getting very anxious to start my blog.Just a while ago, i added Bidvertiser ad on my blog. You can see it just above the posts. I signed up as a publisher and thought i would try my luck on this one. I chose bidvertise over adsense for some upright practical reasons.Bidvertiser has a much lower minimum payout compared to adsense. You can claim your earnings from as low as $10, compared to $100 of adsense.Bidvertiser ads can be customized according to your own preferrence.You can choose the ads that would appear on your blog. And you are even given the chance to block some ads that you might not like. (for some peculiar reason, some people use this).Bidvertiser is perfect for a starting blogger like me.Although these things might sound so good, i am quite doubtful about many things.Bidvertiser is not as well-established as adsense. Though alot of people already use it, its still not good for permanency. I suggest use it for sometime, and if you are not satisfied
My first two commentators!
2007-07-18 22:23:00
After an hour of tweaking, setting up, finding my way around the blogosphere. . .much to my surprise, Anito Kid (whom i mentioned in my first post.) and Novice blogger commented about my blog. The two well-established bloggers commented.Novice Blogger said... "Can a regular guy like me earn from the internet?Can any pinoy really earn money from the internet without any cost?"- Yes & yes. THE ANiTOKiD said... I consider it my full-time passion, kabayan! Welcome to the blogging world!I consider this as my foundation, my launchiong pad, my green light.Well, to both of you, thank you very much for taking some time commenting on my blog.Ill be seeing you."Just being a Filipino for Others"
My journey embarks on.
2007-07-18 21:06:00
Im just your average pinoy guy. Im a nursing student in a unversity who topped '06 Philippine board exam(that means im not sure if i have enough time for this.) , I like to play basketball, hang out with friends at times, but generally a homebuddy, i love adobo, im known to be notoriously late in gatherings(lol).Since weve been connected to the internet a few months back, i figured alot of people really make good money out of weblogs. Some even consider it as their full-time job. I know a number of people: anito kid and culture shock.Can a regular guy like me earn from the internet?Can any pinoy really earn money from the internet without any cost?These are the two questions that urged me to make this blog. Honestly, with limited background on blogging, internet, SEO and other jargonic lines, i dont know where im heading. I guess we just have to find out.But well, im off to my way! Wala bang shot dyan?! One for the road?? haha!It is my earnest hope that other pinoy bloggers, gurus and
Not a very good day.
2007-07-21 11:04:00
"As far as my blog is concerned, today wasnt exactly a day to be happy about." First of all, i started my day at around 5:30am which is my normal daily routine especially if i have classes.(As a nursing student, its more like EVERYDAY!) I checked on my blog and i was delighted to see that on my second day, i got 36 blog total views and 25 page views. This was according to bumpzee. And i said to myself, "wow, im doing great!" Well, this made my day thinking that the same result would happen today. Not exactly. After coming home at around 12mn, (dont get surprised now. It was the college's general assembly and i had dinner with my girlfriend.) It just broke my heart when i saw this report both from bumpzee and sitemeter : blog total: 6, Page views : 4. :( This wasnt what i was expecting at all! With this, i remembered the words of my former jesuit teacher, basketball team-mate and advisor: "Failures are made to make you grow stronger. Live with it." Enough said, i would just look
My very first earning online -- $.25 from squidoo!
2007-07-19 20:31:00
Now hold on to your hats. . . This is going pretty well.I just made my very first online
money. $.25 from squidoo!What is Squidoo? Sometime back, i heard about squidoo lenses and i was curious enough to make my own lens (a page that is referred as "lens" on squiodoo). The site is more like myspace, friendster combined with blogger or wordpress as i would describe it.What sets squidoo different from others? The site is user-friendly and easy to use. Everything is within a particular arrangement, so you dont have to do much of tweaking and designing (which is perfect for novice blogger like me). It all boils down to the content of your lens.How do i earn with squidoo? Earning is made by advertising fees that squidoo applies to each of your lens. If someone clicks on those ads, youll get a cut from them. ( great huh?!) This is I think how i got my $.25 And that's not it. For even bigger chances of earning, squidoo is affiliated with e-bay, amazon, cafepress and hundreds of sellers th

My first step to have traffic on my blog.
2007-07-19 09:02:00
In addition to my previous post, i made something that would hopefully increase my traffic
to this blog. After all, this is the essence of blogging that if you take this out, your blog would just be a piece of information existing on the web like a worthless piece of sand in a dessert. (Caffiene really makes me say odd things. lol )On my clock, its already 10:17pm. Since this morning, ive been adding my blog to numerous blog directories which you can see on the bottom of the page. Well, i realized one thing after my first day, blogging aint just a walk in the park, its a full-time effort.Todays, work actually brought me to a certain dilemma. What category should I add my blog to? Im torn between financial and personal blog. I just cant decide which is which so i used financial on other blog directories, and personal on the majority of them.Another problem i encountered was when i was adding banners to blog directories. Each time I add, the blog directories would ask for a specific bann

MyLot Vs Yahoo Answers
2007-07-21 20:24:00
For sometime now, in my ramblings and wanderings on how to increase traffic and earn money on the internet, I always come across the name Mylot. I have always been very curious about this because majority of the money-making blogs that i found had a monthly earning from this site. Though it wasnt in thousands, (nor was it in hundreds btw) i think it's a great site to jump-start your earnings slowly but surely. Here are some of the Things i like about Mylot.You earn Money from Mylot! Participate in an existing discussion and earn 1 cent. Participate and enhance your reply with photos or videos, thats another cent. Or better yet, start a new interesting discussion and the posibility of earning more money is beyond what you would expect. This is why mylot earns slowly but surely.MyLot is more like a social site like myspace of friendster but is more focused in interaction and discussions thus making the users feel more comfortable.

Can anyone make money asking for Alms on the internet?

Can anyone make money asking
for Alms on the internet?This is the question that we have to address in today's post.Im sure alot of you have seen a donation buttons in some of the blogs that have been existing for quite sometime and have enormous traffic already. You normally see them on wuite a nuber of locations on a blog. Some would put it on the very noticeable area on blog either on the left or right upper quadrant of the page, some would put it after each and every post and some, just poout it in texlinks asking.Personally, i dont think anyone would give someone money in an instant just like that. Not unless. . .They earn from the information the blogger gave themThey have taken something very important to themThey owe the blogger. - this one im not so sure about.Nonetheless, the 3 are coming from the fundamental fact that someone BENEFIT from the blogger.As a matter of opinion, if i have earned from the information the blogger gave me, it would take me some time to finally deci
Pinging for Popularity.
2007-07-25 20:45:00
It has been a week since my first post. And so far, im still in a bottomless pit. Ive heard pinging can increase your popularity rating by telling the world that you have a new activity in your blog. It's sort of saying that you are still alive and kicking. Well, ive decided to try this one out. I bookmarked 2 automatic ping sites namely pingomatic and autopinger. Whats great about this sites is that they submit pings to quite a number of sites like technorati, feedster, blogdigger and blogster. Some of them sound so foriegn to me that id rather knot know about them. Technically, its very easy to use. Just put in the URL of your blog or site then check the boxes you want to ping. ( i checked everything ) and thats it!If youre not so sure about pinging. . ."Pinging
is a service that pings or notifies a number of services that keep track of weblogs and publish them. By pinging, you let the services know that your blog has been updated and hence, they crawl and index your site, publishi

After browsing quite a few websites, reading a gazillion blogs, taking advises from experts and wander around the blogogsphere, i decided to add my blog into something that has been existing for a very long time already. So long that i might even be the last person in the blogosphere to add myself into. (im exaggerating) This is in realation to my post about getting more traffic
. I Joined Digg
! Digg is a social site that was started last 2004 as an experimental site where users submit their articles to. Once you submit, your article would appear on their "upcoming stories" along with alot more articles waiting to get noticed. The idea is to make the readers "digg" your story by clicking the digg button just before each article. If your story gets dugg for alot of times, your story would appear on their frontpage which would even get you more notices, more readers and even more diggs! Heres the catch for your traffic: Every

ClickBooth Confirmation Surprise
2007-07-31 09:43:00
Just after i wrote the previous post, my landline phone rang. I figured "Damn, its my brother's girlfriend again!" Then a smooth, silky voice sounded a big ring on my ears, "hello, is Mr. Kirby there?". . . I thought it was a prank call and i had the notion that it was just another guy friend trying to make fun of me. But it wasnt! It was Erin from ClickBooth.com verifying my membership. She was nice and soft-spoken. Me and my dirty thoughts! I forgot to mention on my posts that I signed up for ClickBooth just 2 days ago. Its an ad provider that offers one of the Highest Paying programs on the internet. I remembered indicating my landline number on the registration form. Never thought in my wildest dream someone is going to call me to verify my application! But all was well taken cared of; she asked about my blog and what kinda ads im going to include on it. The conversation wasnt really that long but it was a good one. She ended up saying she's going to confirm my registration an

How my Kirbitz traffic is doing.

It has Just been over a week ago since i posted my first post. I remember saying "i dont know where im heading". I also posted about how to increase blog traffic
part 1 (part 2 is upcoming. . .) Now this is the result of that part 1.A week ago, i was averaging a maximum of 6-10 visitors per day. After unrelenting hours of reading, learning, asking questions, submitting to blog directories, making friends with bloggers, here's what's the result of all these.According to Sitemeter, i am averaging 20 visits and 25 page views a day. And for the past few days since i installed sitemeter, my blog has been endowed with 131 visits with 2:30 seconds per visit on the average. Turning out attention to the world map, surprisingly enough, ive been having alot of visitors from the USA aside from my hometown of the Philippines. Once in a while, i get visitors from usual internet users as Canada, UK, Russia and even more surprising is that, ive got quite a few from far flung areas as ROmania, Kenya

Kirbitz Connects with Jon Lee

In the competitive world of blogging, only the strongest survives. And as a starting blogger like me, its not difficult to be devoured by the egoistic blogging giants, marketing tycoons and all the blah blahs.

But how often do we encounter a bigtime blogger who is passionate, dedicated and generous to mere mortals like me? Well, look no further than Jon Lee. Who is Jon Lee? He is a web-developer, a blogger, a degree holder of education at queens University, a pokemon fanatic, a basketball fan and a public transit passenger.

This week has been so hectic for me that i have dozens of pending activies unmet. I had to burn my butt off over at dunkin donuts for the whole night just to study for my exams. And well, only time will tell about how i did on my exams. . . Moving on, inspite of the sked that i had, i managed to complete some offers from blogsvertise. I managed to make 3 from them at $2 each but its still unpaid though. You can see my first ever sponsored post here. My blog also got accepted at sponsoredreviews. Ive noticed that they have the option of free-writing a post and then submit it to sponsors. And what sets it apart is that you make the bid on how much you want to be paid with each post. This, i think, is what separates them from the rest and im looking forward for a beneficial endeavors with this site soon.

Are you greedy? Get smorty!
2007-08-14 01:44:00
Recently, i made a post about August Activities of Kirbitz, and if youve read about it, Smorty is not included in the list. This is primarily because my request for membership has been denied when i signed up just a week ago.When i opened my e-mail just a moment ago, ive had the usual e-mails from programs, link exchanges and stuff like that. Much to my surprise, Smorty was there. Low and behold. . . Kirbitz got Accepted!

A review of Mike's Money Making Mission
2007-08-12 04:35:00
Making money online is one hard work. Its not just your usual, typical walk in the park endeavor wherein after one day's work, gold is guaranteed. Its one thing if you pay for something to make the your life much easier. But its a completely different story if you have to start from scratch and make everything work for you.This is the main reason that urged me to make this review
. Mike and me has something in common, we both work for free blogs, no capital at all. . . Just pure sweat, dedication and effort to earn money online. Mike Perry is an early retired, self-made man. He used to make a living out of business opportunity magazines and now, he is quite making a name for himself as a Blogger/Money
Maker. What I like about his blog is that he writes in a very unique way that he has his "self" in each post that he makes. His blog includes comprehensive reviews about money making sites, blog monetization, SEO, marketing, and some blogging tips. I suggest you read and go over his blo

What is Agloco?Agloco, which stands for A-GlObal-COmmunity is a well, global community (lol) that is owned 100% by the members. Its done by downloading a negligible toolbar taht displays ads from google. And for it, youll get paid maximum of 5 hours each month while using it. Its currently bringing a big bang around the internet right now and i decided to make a post about it. For all the old-aged internet users (no harm intended), remember AllAdvantage? it raised nearly $200 Million in venture capital and grew to more than 10 million members in its first 18 months of operation. Well, the same people are bringing it back to life and its now your chance to be paid along with millions of other members.What do I earn from Agloco?By joining Agloco, youll have two ways of getting paid. Either by check/cash or by shares in the company and you have the option of redeeming your money when you want to in the future if you wish to take the chances with Agloco.
