Show ME the MONEY

Write because You Love It

If you’re new here, you must be the luckiest person to visit my blog :). I like to blog about making money online, feel free to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Drop me some comment, I would like to know you more

Back in 2006, my intention to blog is to explore something new and just for fun. Since it is free like Blogspot and Wordpress.com. Plus, it’s really cool when you can tell your friend or chicks to visit your blog at lankapo.com rite ?. I am quite popular at that time.

So when l heard and confirmed by my colleague that you can make money online using Adsense , Nuffnang (Malaysian Ad Network) and others ads network, my intention totally changed to money now. So I just write what other blogger already done. Things like “Increase Your Traffic”,”Improve Your SEO Ranking” or “Make Money Online” are too saturated in this blogsphere. That’s add my blog to million of Making Money Online blog and just a John Chow wannabe. How can I tell other what to do when I am still a newbie too just like them.

Feeling Inspired

After reading How to Find Your Passion by Glen Allsopp from Pluginid.com , I was inspired. I never look blogging the same way again. I should find my passion instead. The author guide you to find your inner strength and what you suppose to write about rather than following others foot step. Make your own.

Recently, I  only manage to update my blog once a week. Totally blank.I cannot think of something new on making money online, struggle to find the motivation to write and to come up with post ideas. Now I want to write all about my experience along the way on making money online, blogging tools and plugin that I want to share and anything that make me feel good by  sharing it for benefit of others. Sharing and not teaching, remember that.

My experience when I shares about using Tune Card was totally worth it. I manage to earn money through Adsense unintentionally and get high SEO ranking for the keyword of Tune Money and Tune Card. My post on experience using Tune Card, a prepaid Visa card to cash out money from PayPal become popular since I was the first to blog about it.

FYI, It took 12 month just to get $ 2 through Adsense, but only 2 months to reach $100 when I post about tune card. See,when you post a unique content that benefit others, money will come after that.

Lesson Learned Here

So if you want to be popular and become authority in your niche, be unique and share your experience and knowledge that will benefit others. Not just writing and following what already being told. Your reader will be like “I have seen that before”, “hey, I already read that in ProBlogger” hehe.

When you are expert at certain thing, you will write like a river flow . Ideas will keep coming. Remember money will follow  when you capture your reader intention.They will keep coming back to hear more from you. Just make sure you enjoy the excitement through blogging, because that is more important.

We can find a job,make loan or marry to a rich husband/wife to get money,but happiness is precious.

SEO Experiment with Amber Chia

Last week, I happened to buy a Harian Metro, a local Malaysian newspaper. As usual it just ordinary news untill I saw a small picture of Amber Chia on top with the title “Amber Chia pose topless in Hong Kong”. :).

Amber Chia  is an Malaysian model. She was born in Ipoh, Malaysia, but grew up in the city of Tawau, in Sabah, East Malaysia. She began her modeling career at seventeen, after being discovered in Kuala Lumpur, where she was working as an accountant. Chia gained international fame after winning the 2004 Guess Watches Timeless Beauty Contest, which was a global model search for Guess Watch’s brand ambassador worldwide. The win also meant that Chia became the first Asian model ever to win a top global professional modelling contest.

So I quickly move to the news and read the whole story. Of course there are no topless picture of her, but the author described very detail about her picture. So, are you thinking what I am thinking ? More »

Tunecard increase my Google Adsense earning

I have been actively writing article on Tune Card, a prepaid Visa card for the past 3 months. Product by Tunemoney Sdn Bhd (company from Malaysia) is now gain more publicity since they started to do some advertisement on TV here in Malaysia.

Well guys that is good news for my adsense and SEO. After months of doing some charity work, customer service and feedback to Tune Card user now it is payback time. One thing that this Tune Card is so popular, is that the ability to validate and cash out PayPal. So, this card is so useful to blogger or internet marketer to make money online. As you know Malaysian cannot cash out direct since PayPal did not accept bank from Malaysia, maybe someday they will. Now every body know where is Malaysia what, near Singapore “:)

Due to recently aired TV Ad about Tune Money , I get a high traffic for people looking for keywords like TuneMoney.com, Tune Card, Tune Visa Prepaid and Debit Card.From the chart you can see traffic suddenly increase after the TV advertisements launched.

So I would like to thanks Tengku Zafrul, CEO for Tune Money for the advertisement that also make my blog popular. If you try to search for tune money, my site will be on the first page on Google, not bad huh .

Anyway, I would like to discuss and share a few main points here base on my experience on my next post.

1. Type of people who click to your adsense ad
2. PR of your website determine traffic
3. Important of Niche/product that your choose
4. Google Ads placement

Blogging Wars - WordPress Vs Blogger

There’s a war going on in the blogosphere, and it has nothing to do with bloggers dissing each other on their respective websites. The war is about control of the blogosphere by several great, many good, and tons of terrible blogging platforms. The average newbie now has “too many” options to choose from, and the battle for blogging supremacy is hotter than ever.

At my website and blogs, I’m always asked the question “Is Wordpress better than Blogger?”. The answer, of course, is “Yes”. But to really understand why, it’s important to look at both blogging platforms side-by-side and see which one you really need.
