I am very delighted to let you all know, that I’m running my first ever contest on my three blogs: My World, My Library and Juliana’s Lair. I will be celebrating my first anniversary in the world of blogging this coming July 19, 2008. I can’t believe it will be a year soon, and I have enjoyed this experience immensely.

Here’s how to earn points:

1. Comment on my blog posts.
- Every comment is equivalent to 1 point. You can only leave a maximum of two(2) comments per post and the comments should be relevant to the post.

4. To add an element of fun, since many of my readers have been asking about how old me and hubby are, let’s play a guessing game.
- If you join the fun, and make a guess you’ll earn 10 points.
- The right guess/guesses will earn 30 points (if both ages are correct)
Only one right guess will earn 15 points.
- Again, leave me a comment so I can credit your points.
(Hint: the pictures you see on my three blogs are all current except the wedding pictures, which were taken when we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary three years ago.)

The running accumulated points across the three blogs, will be posted on the side bars of the three blogs to keep you updated on your points earned.

Should there be a tie in any of the prizes at stake, a drawing will be held to determine the winner of that prize, and the person/s not drawn will win the next prize.

Prizes will be remitted to the Paypal accounts of the winners.

Easy enough, right? I hope you’ll all join the fun.

Do We Really Earn From Blogging ?

Blogging has become a popular online activity. Many of us blog in social networking sites like Friendster, Myspace and a lot more. Since we do it almost on a daily basis, why don't we try to earn money from it?

Blogging online is getting more and more popular than we can imagine. Everyday, thousands of blogs are being developed. Some people blog as a hobby, others blog to introduce a product or a service online while the rest blog to get more traffic to their sites. Others simply express their innermost feelings and thoughts. Majority of the blogs' purpose is to earn money. Though to earn enough, we have to work harder and post regularly.

Earning money online through blogging doesn't happen overnight. It needs extra effort on your side. You need to produce as many articles as possible and post it online so different people from different backgrounds can visit it. The more articles you have, the more your adsense code will be displayed. Getting more traffic to your articles, mean more chances for your ads being clicked. The idea is simple.

I Got My First Assignment from Review Me

Well, I guess this message is not really that important by I'm just so happy to tell everyone that finally, I got an assignment from Review Me. The site is strict with ranking and traffic factors that's why I am trying so hard to make this blog popular. I was surprised to see an email this morning informing me of the assignment. I accepted it and will try to finish it before my due date. With this site's traffic increasing daily, I hope I could get more assignments in the following weeks. Wish me luck!

More Get Paid To Blog Communities

Last November 30, I made a post about get paid to blog communities. I thought I've already listed all there is available online, but everyday, I stumble upon other sites that also give opportunities to bloggers online. I'm so happy to know that more and more paid to blog sites are being launched. This is good news to people who wants to earn extra money online.

Below is an additional list to the one I made last November 30, 2007. I hope this list will help many online bloggers like me.

LinkPrimer – a blogging community where earning money is very easy. The site utilizes Google's Adsense program as a primary earner and then includes ClickBank products and other services to generate revenue for its members. The site follows the following revenue sharing :

1. 50% of the time, the affiliate code/ID will be of the content originator.
2. 25% of the time, the affiliate code/ID will be of the content originator's referrer.
3. 25% of the time, the affiliate code/ID will be of the site administrators to help maintain the site.

Referring users is the best way to make money with the site. The more people you refer that are active on the site, the better chances you have of making decent money. If you were to never write a post on your blog, you could still get decent exposure of your affiliate codes by simply referring a couple of active users.

To refer a user, view your profile. You have a unique link that is used to refer others to the site. Send that link to your friends, family, co-workers, etc to get them to the site and start earning money off them as well. After all, you will be doing them a favor by telling them how they can earn money off the site as well!

Buyblogreviews – gives bloggers an opportunity to earn by reviewing other websites and posting it in their blogs. Bloggers are paid per post. The more posts a blogger make, the more money he will earn. A blogger can create a profile and be listed in their list of bloggers. Adevertisers can contact a blogger directly for paid blogging opportunities.

MyTripleDub – is all about sharing. For every post you create, you get the benefit of 70% of the ads displaying using your AdSense account. If you send people here using your referral link, and they sign up, you get an additional 10% on any of the posts they make, and they still get 70%!

Do we really earn from blogging ? Why don't you try it yourself? If we don't, maybe I won't be writing this post anymore.
