The day after my birthday, my Google Adsense reached the 100th mark (read: $100 USD). It's the minimum Adsense payout set by Google and I was able to reach it after three months. This is a long wait for the bloggers I know who are good at SEO, but at least, I have made it. Payment will be end of November. Cool.

I am glad I have realized my goal of getting paid every three months for two consecutive times. I hope that in the coming months, I'll be able to replicate this or even surpass this personal record. I know I have to strategize better in order to improve my Google Adsense earnings.

Any Adsense tips that you'd like to share with me? :)

My latest Paypal withdrawal amounted to $157 USD. I tried to avoid paying the P50 transaction fee when transferring funds from Paypal to Philippine bank accounts so I emptied my Paypal account and withdrew everything. To my horror, I found out later that Banco de Oro (where my savings account is kept) charged me P200 as electronic fund transfer (ETF) fee.

When I did a research on it, I learned that some local banks in the Philippines that are Paypal-friendly imposes such a fee. The amount is actually standard for these banks. The good news is, Landbank of the Philippines is the only Philippine bank I know that does not charge an ETF fee to Paypal transfers. Or so the Landbank banker told me the other day.

This is a lesson learned. Next time, I'll use my Landbank account when converting my hard-earned US dollars to Philippine peso.

Are you aware of this extra payment you make every time you transfer funds from Paypal to your local bank account? What are your thoughts about it?

I've been enjoying the privilege to write paid reviews for ReviewMe.com for months now. My last post about it was quite saddening but now I am happy to report that my September income there amounted to $112.50 USD. This is actually the usual income I get from the site. My August income suffered big time for some unknown reason and was reduced to $35 USD. Now, ReviewMe.com is bouncing back to business. I know that with this development, I'm not the only one happy out there!

My Reviewme.com payment through Paypal:


Making money online is a tricky business. If luck is on your side, you get more than what you have expected.

What you would only need is confidence and persistence. :)

If you don't know yet, Paypal has released a guideline on minimum withdrawal. For Paypal account holders in US dollar, the minimum amount required to withdraw is $10 USD. I find this reasonable. At least people would get motivated to earn more to be able to withdraw a bigger amount of money. What I don't really approve of is the seemingly low currency exchange over at Paypal, but that's a different story altogether.

U.S. Dollars
$10.00 USD

Australian Dollars
$15.00 AUD

British Pounds
£6.00 GBP

Canadian Dollars
$15.00 CAD

Euros
€10.00 EUR

I was ecstatic last week. It was my fourth $100 Paypal withdrawal and I was just too happy. Little by little, my paid blogging efforts are bearing fruits. My Google Adsense, on the other hand, is also improving. From a six-month wait before reaching payout, I am now down to three months.

My short-term goal is to have a $100 Paypal withdrawal once a month. This is easy considering the amount of offers I get from paid blogging sites. I'm saving up for Christmas and it seems I'll be able to meet my savings goal, too.

How about you, how is your make money online efforts? :)

I have nothing against Blogsvertise but I noticed they've been paying me three to five days delay these days. At Blogsvertise, you get paid by offer after 30 days. This means that each offer has a different payment due date, unless of course you have accomplished two or more offers at the same time.

Usually, a paid post from Blogsvertise contains three links. This is quite a lot as compared to other paid blogging sites that normally asks only one link.

I always see to it that my offers are sent back to the advertisers (for review) on time. I hope Blogsvertise appreciates my hard work better by paying me on time, simply because bloggers like me need our money on time. I could tolerate a two-day delay, but five? It's quite unreasonable. Especially that offers from them take some time to arrive.

I've recently created a new blog (http://philippinelottoresults01.blogspot.com) that's solely dedicated to PCSO Lotto. Entitled "Philippine Lotto Results," it gives regular updates on PCSO Lotto Results. A friend of mine, in one of our conversations, shared with me the Adsense success of her friend who maintains a lotto blog. She said lotto blogs attract huge traffic, what with the millions of Pinoys who play lotto religiously. And so I got inspired and put up a lotto blog of my own.

My lotto blog has been up for quite a few days only but it has already been getting traffic from Google search engines. For the very first time today, I got a $.03 Adsense income from my lotto blog. It's tiny I know but this development gave me hope. I believe that soon this tiny amount will multiply. I will continue to be persistent in this endeavor.

To put up a lotto blog, all you need is a simple and clean-looking template. Do not use colorful ones. Fill it with just the right amount of Adsense ads. As for me, I use a combination of link units and text and image ads. Create an About page to introduce your blog to first-time visitors. Create a privacy policy to declare your use of cookies and advertising tools (this is an Adsense requirement also). Update your blog regularly and see results in a month or so. And the most important thing is, continue learning new tricks on SEO and making money online.

Good luck to us!

I just noticed that opportunities at Reviewme.com have been dwindling recently. I dunno but this somehow worries me. Last month, I got a total of 14 opportunities from Reviewme.com amounting to US$103.50. This month, which is already on its half, I have only made two paid posts. What's happening?

I hope all is well with Reviewme.com. I also hope all is well with my blog. I've talked to some blogger friends who are also getting work from Reviewme.com and learned that they, too are experiencing the same. Haaaay, I hope things get better soon. The breadwinner needs more money especially that the ber-months are approaching.
