Journey to Earning Money Online

I've been doing my online journey again when I stumbled by chance on Russel Brown 's website featuring Photoshop tricks and techniques in movie format. What's best about the site is free downloads of the movie tutorials. :) This might not give you a direct earning opportunity but watching the movies can improve or help you with your Photoshop knowledge. Remember that web designers are in demand today and earning a lucrative income online. Whether you are a beginner or professional, you might find some tips from Russel Brown.

Do you know that aside from gold, silver bullion is also considered by market analysts as a good investment? In the form of coins or ingots of pure bullion casted in convenient sizes and shapes, silver is considered a valuable commodity. United States - a country which was once considered a stockpiler of silver - drove the silver prices down by dumping billions of ounces of silver in the world market. Since 1990, the demand for silver has been greater than annual production thereby driving silver price to a level considered by investors as the best buying price. With the supply of silver lesser than the world market demands, even United States is now a silver buyer. Prices of silver has never been better for investors. Through Monex Deposit Company (MDC), investing in silver bullion has been made easier. Being an investment leader for precious metals including gold and silver, MDC has the best US silver coin prices and programs in the silver coin industry. Silver bullion purchased th...

I posted some days ago about MetaCafe and as usual, I like to tell both my online and offline friends of the income opportunities I find online. Some are interested, some don't believe it. Swoops gave MetaCafe a try. Halfway to his 1000 views, he also got a new client according to him because of the video he submitted to MetaCafe. Need some invitations? Check his videos :)

Advertisements play major role in our today's businesses. Just the idea of how an advertisement will look like can already cost a lot. Companies pay people for the idea which will eventually be put into action. And if it costs a lot then it means we can earn from it, right? Of course, it is another earning opportunity for us if we can create such ads :) Check out the picture above. You can see more at Ezprezzo . From those pictures, I have chosen some favorites. Who do people in advertising earn lots of money? Because ads bring in the money. Have you ever imagined our world without advertising? Do you think internet will be as lively as now without these ads everywhere? Maybe, there will be less clutter but without ads, we would not be earning as much. Need extra money? How about creating some great advertising campaigns? Technorati tags: great ads , good pictures , advertisements , ad campaigns , advertising campaigns

OK, here's another online opportunity to earn an income. This time, it is earning money from your videos with MetaCafe. What I like about this program is the program's stand regarding copyrighted videos which is a big No for them. So, how will one earn with MetaCafe's program ? Metacafe will pay you $5 for every thousand views your video gets on our site. Payment starts after your video reaches 20,000 views and has a rating of 3.00 or higher - which tells us that the viewers like the video. On top of that, the license to Metacafe is a non-exclusive deal - you retain ownership of your video. Metacafe helps build your brand by marketing your content and making you money. Some information you must be aware of before uploading your videos at MetaCafe 1. You must own the copyright to the video or risk your account being cancelled or deleted. 2. When you upload a video and you want to be paid for it, you need to apply for Producer Rewards. Your video will be che...

Last night, we had a 2-hour live conference meeting with Ian Del Carmen. He talked about affiliate marketing, his field of concentration. He stressed the point that affiliate marketing is one of the best online income earner. One do not need huge amount of investment. Many programs including his own are offering affiliate programs for free yet still pays lucratively. Since some of the attendees are newbies to affiliate marketing, question on how to promote affiliate products were raised. He talked about promoting affiliate products even if you do not own a website. As a summary, Ian del Carmen stated some simple steps. These steps can be used even if you do not own a website. Place your affiliate link in forum signatures but do not spam. Place your affiliate link in the signature of your emails when you send messages to your friends and acquaintances. Emails are viral in form and forwarded from one email address to another. FFAs and safelists are not recommended because conversion ra...

I woke up with someone knocking on our door. One of our lady neighbors who ordered a design to label her virgin coconut oil products has come to get the design. I can't find it anymore. I thought she's not going to redeem it. Ugghh... I just cleaned my hard drive and used about 20 CDs to back-up all my files - designs, e-books, scripts, musics, images and personal photographs. That means I would have to browse through all the design files I have :( Yes, right. I also do simple designs, both online and offline, if I have extra time. The extra income is not that much because I charge only a few bucks but that can already buy me some softdrinks and "halu-halo" to quench the summer heat :) Note: The image above is one of the labels (with minor modifications) I made from which she can choose from. In case you are interested about the product, you can always contact me :)

When I was still younger than today...lol... I had collections of all sorts of things - cards for all occasion, bookmarkers, quotations from newspapers, magazines and books, posters, etc.. I always had stack of books and papers in my room including write-ups. It was few years ago while doing some 'book windowshopping' that I notice one of Blue Mountain's minibook of quotations. I bought books as presents for some special people. I am also a subscriber of BlueMountain just because I like their posts. Then, while doing some random readings, I found an earning opportunity - writer for Blue Mountain . It is one of those opportunities that I won't pass up because I like their products - simple yet it says it all. You can check it out for yourself. :) If you are interested, you can request copy of writer's guideline at e ditorial at sps dot com (correct format, pls). Just wait for a few days for the response.

I missed some days blogging because I am already working on my new research project. Being few days behind with my research, I am doing some overtime work when I am at home to meet the set schedule. Just having some familiarization issue with how should the data be entered on the database. While researching, I've found some old paying programs that pay writers for their poems, articles and stories. I'll be posting them one by one in the next days - in between my research work - for reference purposes only :) It's really a lazy Easter Sunday without the kids running around. I just called and they're enjoying their vacation, singing along with the karaoke and playing with their cousins. They have again stories to tell when they got home :)

It's Easter Sunday morning and I just arrived from work. Maybe, I'll be spending the rest of day sleeping because I played Tumblebugs until 3AM yet I can't pass Level 8. It's an easy game that could be played by kids. It's good I have not installed the program on my home computer or else I won't be able to finish anything. Well, that's me. Once I start on a game, I won't stop until I finish the last level. It is always best not to install it at all :D I just remember that way back in 1995 when I had my first (286) computer, I also used to play Pacman until the wee hours :)

Earning money online can take many forms and attitude of people towards the subject vary. Some take it seriously while some do it to while away time or just to have fun. I do both, at times. It's fun for me when I join contests and I can proudly say it's really fun to win contests - banner designs, most number of posts, most number of referrals, most active member, etc - winning a few bucks and/or domain names. Some domains were not awarded though :( those are the times when it's not fun at all. Today, I just want to have some fun again - a one-time shot to owning a digital camera from FuelMyBlog courtesy of Sportingo . The contest is entitled View From My Window and my entry is an image taken from one of the windows at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Tower. Wishing luck to myself while looking through the window. View From My Window Darkness is setting in. While reflecting, there it is, above the smog covering Tokyo City is a reflection of my viewing window. Belo...

Well, it's monday morning again, first monday of April. I had to force myself to wake-up early. Why? Because I had to check my open Marketiva live trades. I had a floating loss of $16 when the market closed for the weekend. I am glad it's now down to a floating loss of $14. Since my last update, I was able to close 12 trades, all in profit. For now, I can't open any trades as it would put my account at risk. I am already using 13% of my funds. I want to keep it at 10% to have a big cushion in case there are big movements in the market. My funds have not doubled but I have gained more than what I can earn using traditional savings method with my small capital. I'd really like to make it good in forex and plan to take some tutorial lessons from some "experts" at Marketiva. I made this resolution after the forex club that I joined failed on the member's expectations. That's a costly lesson. I just hope the club will recover it's losses soon. I just d...

Today should have been the day Registefly is supposed to lose its ICANN-registered status as domain registrar but according to ICANN , Registerfly decided to challenge the termination issued by ICANN. The challenge will give Registerfly another 30 days to hold to its status. Because of this, negative reactions were received from many domain owners. I should say I am one of them as I still have few dollars on my Registerfly account. It's good that I was able to transfer all my domains to several registrars. I say again, Registerfly is a good business considering the many clients they have, earning quite a sizable money. But, it has turned sour because of poor money management. If you are Kevin Medina of Registerfly, would you have done better? Technorati tags: Registerfly , domain registrar , domain issues
