Finding Myself

Posted on April 4, 2009 by Holankia| Leave a comment

   Looking back at the things in life which I’ve gone through. Whereby I made some good moves, as well as bad ones. Not to say I’m pretty much proud of it, but never the less I guess that’s life. And I wonder the things that I did in the past could alter the path of where I am now.

   As I finished putting up an album on my engagement as well as wedding, I couldn’t help but wonder how in the world I was able to pay off the whole thing without having to even exceeding the budget we pretty much expected. But thank God that He was gracious enough to give us more than what we ask for. And I’ve pretty much received quite a lot of “nice” things back then. Hehehe, never the less I believe it’s His blessings.

   I was having lunch with a friend this afternoon. Apparently we were discussing a few certain things, and he pretty much ask on how’s business and any future plans. As I pretty much explain him about my current situation as well as what I have planned for the future. He pretty much gave me an insightful advice regarding the current situation. No doubt famine will strike, but Christ will always be there to ensure we’ll be safe. But looking back these past few months, especially when recession pretty much began to hit us here in Malaysia. Sales have been dropping, and expenses has been increasing. But surprisingly, there has never been a day when we couldn’t live by without worrying. Each time, when we need to pay the bills, or rental some how or rather we have enough to cover with also surplus as well. So basically what he said to me this afternoon was pretty much a confirmation on what I need to do in the near future. So it’s all good.

   Looking back again, I guess I’ve been surrounded by really good friends who pretty much look out for me whenever I’m in trouble. No doubt, I pretty much have my own life now especially with a family. It makes me realized even more how important they are to me, and I couldn’t afford to have anything happen to me. And pretty much making sure that I’ll always be there for them when they need me to. One thing for sure, I’m no longer that “Hantu Malam” that goes out and come back until wee hours in the morning. As I also had stopped drinking for about 5 years already, because well.. I just stopped. Lol.

   No doubt there were dark ages during my life, but I’m pretty glad on how things turned out the way it is today. To have someone whom I can cherish, and love till the very day I grow old. And also to be able to share responsibility with Deluxe in bringing up our daughter. Well, for all the bad things that I’ve done in the past I’m sure glad that I never went against my parents. No doubt, I have made some stupid things in life, or said something that could have hurt them but at least I always give in and apologize in the end. And everything turned out well in the end. Which pretty much reminded me there was once when my dad wanted to bring us to an outing, and all of us pretty much had a plan of our own. And I guess he was so disappointed, and pretty much bummed out because it was a public holiday and that was the only time he could spend time with us. So the very next day, I went and get my younger brother and sister up to help me prepare breakfast for them. I think we had eggs, red beans and sausages for breakfast, which we pretty much cook up and prepared. And despite the fact that I’ve also call off my plans with my friends, I was glad that I was able to spend time with them.

   Well, time is pretty much not on our side and one day eventually they would leave us. In the past, when we were scolded or even caned for being disobedient and thought probably they didn’t had a good day at work and used us as a channel for release. But never the less, they loved us dearly and I could understand how painful it was for them whenever they were unhappy with the decision that we make in life. I remember what my parents would always say during their birthdays, or Christmas on what would they want. Their answer will always be the same, whereby “I don’t want anything, just as long as you all be good that will be fine for me”. I guess the pride of every parents is that all their children would be successful in life, so that they wouldn’t need to worry too much about us. So how do we measure if we are successful in life? I guess for them it’s not by the amount of money that we make. But rather being able to support ourselves, and able to give them back what they really deserve. Our love…

Want TO Make Free Money?

Posted on April 3, 2009 by Holankia| Leave a comment

   Ok, I’m no license guru or whatever you might call it. But currently, I’m using this method which pretty much is generating a few source of income for me monthly. And so far, it may not be much. But it does give you a little bit extra at the end of the month. Making a dollar here, and a dollar there you’ll pretty much end up able to pay for your web hosting plan as well as your domain name. Well, that’s what I’m pretty much doing it at the moment. Hehehe…

   Before I go on, I just signed up with Link Bucks, and currently trying it out. So do click on the links later in during this post, as it will come out as there will be an intermission of 15 secs before it goes to the actual page there will be a top frame just above my page. You have been warned :)

   For starters I’ll probably do a bit of add for Link Bucks first. Anyway, here is their payment Rate :-
Minimum payout is $5 to PayPal
1$/2000 intermission
1$/4545 top banner
1$/2500 popup

   Ok, at this rate you will think to yourself it will take you decades for getting paid. And who on earth will click on these links? Well, remember the site I mentioned yesterday regarding VineFire? I just received their newsletter stating that people are calling their site a scam. Again, if you didn’t invest any money into it then it wouldn’t be a scam now would it? Never the less, they mentioned that they are pushing their payout dates from the 31 Jan 2010 to June 2009. Probably this site can be fishy in a sense maybe they thought no one is upgrading their accounts, and probably by doing this people might want to upgrade for now. Never the less, you can try using VineFire to boost up your traffic and getting people to click on them. So I guess instead of using the intermission, then the best option would be top banner. The problem with intermission maybe 15 seconds is way too long and people may not even bother waiting for it. So they’ll just close it before the time even stops (like I do). I did a test yesterday, regarding the number of people clicking on my site when I posted at VineFire, I got about 300 impressions for a link in one day. So imagine if I could post 10 links a day it would be like 3000 clicks. Anyway, you get the picture. Plus, the people who are clicking the links are mostly from USA, which is good. Won’t go into details there, as it would take a very long post to explain it. Unlike TinyUrl, at least Link Bucks does not take away the referral links. Whereby a lot of times you may missed out potential referrals which could generate additional income for you.

   If you are someone who love to twitter, and uses twitter a lot. You can consider Twittad. I’ve pretty much been twittering for the past couple of weeks already, ever since I managed to get it hooked onto Fring. Anyway, basically there are two methods of getting paid. Which are :-

Method 1 : Post Twitter Account for Advertisers to Purchase
1. Post twitter account for advertisers to purchase
2. Select your duration & price
3. Wait for advertiser to purchase
4. Accept or Deny the proposed ad within 48 hours of purchase
5. If you accept the ad we will use the Twitter API to upload the ad to your twitter profile
6. 1-Tweet Promo Sent
7. At the end of the tenure Final Tweet Sent

Method 2 : Opt-In to Advertiser Campaign
Twittad´s newest feature allows you to search for available Advertiser campaigns based on what interests you. For example, if you are a small business owner on Twitter you can advertise a product that interests you, and get paid to do it!

So what determine your rates? Basically they are follow What’s Your Tweet Worth. Which is calculated based on the number of people are following you on your site. So the more people following you, the higher your Twitter account will be worth. So you can either opt to put an advertiser post on your Twitter site, which I think it does not really matter. Hehehe, so you can pretty much forget about your backdrop ;)

Scratch Back
   Probably this could be the most direct way to make money on your blog or website. Basically how this work is that, advertiser will pay a certain amount of money to your Scratch Back account to post a link on your website. You pretty much determine how many spots are there on your site, and basically in order to get the link out from your Scratch Back account is until someone else go and buy over the link. So the secret? Sell as low as you possible can. By doing so, you pretty much can get a good turnover. I couldn’t add my Scratch Back account here on this blog as it pretty messes up with my template. Prolly I’ll try to look for some other templates later, but will still stick to this in the mean time.

   Anyway, that’s all the tip for today. I’ll come up with another list within the next few days, as I’m currently working on something at the moment. Hopefully this would help you guys earn extra income especially during the time of recession. Good luck ^_^

Making $541.45 In 2 Days

Posted on April 2, 2009 by Holankia| Leave a comment

Would have love to post it yesterday as it was April fool’s Day, but I guess everyone wouldn’t have believed me. Never the less, how I made $541.45 in 2 days? Well, to be honest with you. I can and I can’t. Lol, complicated don’t you think?

The secret is ? Well, VineFire. Before you go on shooting me that this is a scam site and you shouldn’t really bother wasting your time with it. No doubt it’s prolly a scam, but I don’t know why. It pretty much made me happy for all I care. Hahaha. Anyway, this is how they work.

How It Works

About Us

Vinefire is an experiment…a work in progress. Fun, profitable, exciting.

Imagine a website where you can earn money for simply posting and clicking on links to breaking news, funny videos, money-making websites and more. The best links quickly rise to the top and the worst are buried as everyone votes on links submitted by everyone else.

How to Earn

* Click Posted Links:
Log in, then go to the home page and click on any of the links posted by members. You’ll currently earn $0.45 for each link you visit. The links will turn gray once you have visited them.
* Click Sponsor Links:
Visiting our sponsors helps our website grow. Sponsor links are currently worth $0.50 per click.
* Vote on Links:
Use the icons on the home page to vote up () links you like or vote down () links you don’t like. You’ll currently earn $0.55 each time you vote.
* Add Links:
If you have a link to an interesting web page that you think people will like, just visit the Add Link page. You’ll currently earn $0.12 every time someone votes “up” on your link. (Until you reach your daily earnings limit).
* Share with Friends:
Have a friend that would like our website? Visit our Share page to get your personal referral link. You’ll currently earn 50% of your friends earnings every time they click a link, vote on a link, or add a link.

Earn Even More

Currently, new members can only earn up to $50.00/day. If you would like to earn more, you can verify your account for a small fee ($5). Verifying your account takes about 2 minutes and will instantly raise your daily earnings limit to $100.00/day.

How to Join

Simply visit our Join page and enter your email address. That’s it. Be sure to use an email address that you’ll have for years to come.

Common Questions

* When will I get paid?
The first payment is scheduled to be sent January 31, 2010. After that, we will begin sending weekly payments to all members.
* Why not pay sooner?
Vinefire is currently in “beta” mode. That means that we are testing to make sure the site will be profitable in a long-term way before we begin sending regular payments. Committing to regularly scheduled payments too early could cause the website to collapse before it really gets a chance to get started.

Ok. Sounds too good to be true right? Well, you got it. But the fact I’ve pretty much wasted about 30 mins a day clicking on these so called links to add $$$ into my account. And I did managed to refer a few people, which helped increased my account drastically. The catch here is that, they will pay you $50 upon sign up, and also $50 for every person you refer. But wait, do they pay you instantly? Nope. They’ll just credit to your account like they always do. Which you might think that hopefully they’ll pay you, which will be at January 31, 2010 as shown as below. Which I doubt they will.

* When will I get paid?
The first payment is scheduled to be sent January 31, 2010. After that, we will begin sending weekly payments to all members.

So why in the world would I join this website anyway? Well, one for fun. And two traffic. I’ve been having more clicks, for a few certain websites that I own and been getting a few inquiry. At the moment there haven’t been any sales yet, but at least there could be some potential leads. So what do I got to lose anyway, since it’s kinda free and you don’t have to fork out a dime. Plus it pretty much makes your day when you know you’re making money well virtually, but at the same time getting traffic which I’m not complaining. Lol.

Earn Even More

Currently, new members can only earn up to $50.00/day. If you would like to earn more, you can verify your account for a small fee ($5). Verifying your account takes about 2 minutes and will instantly raise your daily earnings limit to $100.00/day.

Ok, after hours searching for people that has been paid which claimed by the website. I doubt it, as it would pretty much be a hoax or something. Maybe, whenever someone verify their account then probably they’ll just generate the amount taken from that hour to be posted on the web. Again, this is not necessary to sort of upgrade your account. For me, I had the privilege of the person who introduced this site to me upgrade for free. But must give him 10% if they would pay at the end of the day. Anyway, take my advice, DON’T upgrade it. Simple as that ya. It will not make any difference anyway.

Is this site a scam? Yes & No. If you don’t pay them anything, you will not lose anything at all. Just that maybe they are building a database to store all these emails in order for them to sell it, and pretty much reaps the benefits of it. So if you plan to sign up for this, I suggest you create another email address specifically for this purpose. So you won’t have to worry about SPAM mails going to your account. Hehehe. You have been warned.. Hehehe.. Have fun ^_^

BTW, they’re giving out $100 if you use this reference to sign up, for 10 days. So just enjoy the amount of cash rolling into your account, even though you know at the end of the day you won’t get anything in return. Lol. Have fun..

   So you’re coming to 6 months next week, and within these past few weeks you’ve pretty much showed us quite a lot of things. One of them was when we covered you with a piece of cloth on your face, initially you were trying to remove it by going sideways or climb higher above the cloth. But mummy kept on bringing your hands to the cloth for you to grab it. And after you learned how to do that, you pretty much master it whenever we threw a cloth to cover your face. Lol.

   The latest stunt you are currently doing is whereby you can pretty much sit on your own. No doubt you are still practicing your balance, but never the less. It’s all good. Haha, at this age some said you should be crawling or learning to stand already. But never the less, I guess we spoiled you too much because we never really train you to do so. But it’s ok, we’ll guide you slowly first before you learn to take your first steps. In the meantime, you are pretty much very talkative now whenever you sit in your stroller. And of course, occasionally you screamed at the top of your lungs to get our attention. Especially while both mummy and I are eating. Lol. How could we ever forget that.

   Speaking of which, you are also able to hold your own bottle now whenever we give you water to drink. It’s funny how times just fly by like that, and experiencing everything you’re going through. Mummy and Daddy have been talking about how we want you to first turn over, then sit up on your own, and start to crawl and walk. But by then, we would pretty much be worried about you by then. Hehehe. As you’re pretty much one active little baby. Never the less, we still love you very much. You’re also beginning to recognize people around you, as you don’t really smile to strangers now. Probably it would be a bad time to find a baby sitter for you. Hehehe, never the less we doubt we’ll ever do that. At the moment, it’s pretty fun having you around. Especially whenever you come down to the shop for a visit so that daddy can have his lunch, or during the middle of the day where daddy will need to do a bit of business. So it’s all good. ^_^

   At the moment, daddy is sort of at the crossroad in life whereby major decisions needed to be made. Currently daddy is working on something, so that you won’t have to worry about your education fees when you’re a little bit older. So once daddy finishes up with this work, daddy might need to go do something else as well. But no matter what, it will still need to be confirmed and agreed by mummy first. At least with mummy’s confirmation, daddy knows everything will turn out all right. But in the mean time, it means more over time and perseverance to make sure it will be completed. With Good Friday, and Easter coming up soon, daddy is a bit tied up as well with ministry. But it’s all good, as serving God ensures that daddy won’t wander off very far from his path.

   Anyway, Daddy going to sign off now. As daddy needs to get back to work. Will be writing to you soon again.

Loving you always,
Daddy
