Secrets Of Monetizing Blog

Blogging should be for fun, else you’ll quit easily. The only thing that motivated me to have own blog is just to exchange my ideas and experience with other people with similar interest.

The toughest part is to get the traffic. A blog without reasonable readership will never generate any income. I guess high traffic is the crucial, so search engine optimisation is needed, do some marketing and promotion to increase your blog’s presence. There’s ton’s of ways to make money but if you do not have the rights tools, you’re just spinning your wheels.

I have global advertising ads on my site like AdSense, but rarely readers click on it. Many bloggers are likely to take advantage of such Advertising Programs to earn a profitable income. But Google has it own strict policies; it will ban people for invalid clicks, which is highly frustrating. I think it is best to do more research on other advertising media, like Bitvertiser, Adbrite, Chitika, Ebay Auction Ads etc to suit your needs.

Will Google Combat Against Text Link Ads ?

Google Adsense is probably the largest advertising program on internet. However, I worried whether Google will take any concrete action on those who put Text Link ads and Google ads concurrently? Will page rank be affected? Or is it just a rumour?

Text Link Ads More Better?

TLA is not truly a Pay-Per-Click program because you will make money also even though people did not click on the ads. And, it’s not seem like Google ads as you can only use preset color and font. With TLA, you have greater control on how links to be displayed on your site.

Once people use your referral link to sign up and get accepted then you will earn money. It’s US$25. But with Google ads you need to wait and hope that your referrals will display the ads long enough then only can get the referral fee. How painfully slow !!!

Buying Gold As Investment

Based on the forecast on long-term investment, the gold value will be getting higher. But it might turn another way round. Someone bought 7 years ago at MYR 39/gram but now more than MYR 95/gram.

If you look at the relationship between USD and Gold Price, it goes in opposite direction. As long as USD keeps dropping, the gold price will continue to rise. So if USD goes up in the future, the Gold Price will drop. Obviously, there is a currency risk. Nowadays, gold price very hard to predict since it’s going up and down as crazy as stock market.

Gold investment is always regarded as the best possible hedge against inflation but 1 distinct disadvantage is you don’t earn any interest from it.

Tiger Bank Sucks Blood ?

Didn’t you know that after the 4th ATM withdrawal, for each withdrawal you’ll be charged MYR 0.50? So, it is better to purposely withdraw bigger amounts that can last you for a week. Save the money in saving account will not help you to get higher interest. It is just 0.2-0.3% annually. Besides that, it can also lessen your waiting time and spending time to the branch/ATM.

Why Maybank Like To Charge People ?
I think the purpose for banks to charge another MYR 0.50 after 4th withdrawal was prevent Maybank’s user misuse ATM machine and this may save their server resources. Imagine if all user withdraw RM10 from ATM machines daily, then huge of databases need to be backed up daily, heavy traffic load which may lead to system failures.

Maybank2u
If we transfer money from maybank2u to other maybank account it’s free of charge. But if transfer to other bank (citibank, hong leong bank etc) they will charge you RM2 per transaction.

If you use Maybank ATM to top up your Touch N Go, then you also need to pay additional MYR 0.50.

You can choose to have the MYR 8 annual fee instead. Then you can enjoy unlimited ATM withdrawals and counter transaction.

Father’s Day Celebration

I have planned to order pizza online and at the same time can make use of my pizza cash voucher, which I got it from the online survey 3 months ago.

You can get special privilege while you place an online order. You can get Buy 1 Free 1 Pizza there…

Shop In Smarter Way

Yesterday, I bought some necessity stuff from Supermarket and noticed that less people going to shop around recently even during promotion period. From that moment, I start realized the ripple effect of petrol hikes. I just wonder how’s the future will be !!!

The increase in fuel will eventually force me to be calculative indeed. No choice!! As a middle-income earner, this petrol hike is just too much for me to think of. With all the stupid reasons given for the hike, it is still the public suffer a lot.

Being “A” Good Decision Maker For “A” Buyer…

Today is totally different from the day before today !!! We should spend more time to do more comparison and price analysis of every single item.

For instance, when I go to buy 100Plus soft drink, I will take a few packing style as my consideration.

As a matter of fact, normally canned drink would cost you more if you calculate precisely.
If you plan to buy 1 box (24 Tin with 325ml each), it may cost you about MYR 28.90 nowadays…So, each tin will cost you about MYR 1.20.
So, 100ml yields MYR 0.36…

But if you buy 1 bottle (with 500ml), it may cost you about MYR 1.55.
Hence, 100ml yields MYR 0.31 only…

In fact, there may have another good option for you to decide. If you buy 1 bottle (with 1.5L, 1500ml), it may only cost you about MYR 2.50.
Thus, 100ml yields MYR 0.17 only…

Fuel Price Hikes May Cause Inflation Jumping

Penang Tea Garden Promotion

Last week from 23th - 25th of May which is the new opening of Fun Tea Garden (located opp of Cosmic, Prangin Mall) and the only one thing that really grab my full attention was the banner advertisement. See below…

If you follow the calculation manner, then you will know 100% discount means that you go there having Dim Sum with no need to pay any single cent, am I right? But, this normally is the marketing tactic that used by business minded people to run their business.

Actually, if you go to have your DimSum within these 3 days, then you are entitled to get another for free within 1 week after these 3 days (only up to that amount that you’ve paid previously). If having more than that amount then you should pay the rest of the balance !!!
