On Web Hosts And Opportunities

This may have been on for long, but I just have noticed recently that most blog opportunities go for blogs having their own web host. Free hosted blogs like this one has very limited number of opportunities received nowadays. Of course, I don't have the right to complain because it is the advertiser's prerogative to choose which blogs they wanted their links on. If I were in their shoes, I would also simply go for blogs with high page ranks and own hosts as well.

Anyway, a number of opportunities still prop up once in a while for this blog, to which I am still thankful. The monetary values I received were no longer as high as before but at least they were not gone. That is what's significant, and still worth this blog to keep.


It has been three years since I created this blog and during those years, it has been my great solace online. I am grateful for the great things it has derived for me, like friends gained, income generated and insights gathered. There is just one thing though that I felt I should have done from the beginning, and that is to have its own domain and web host. There sure are a lot of budget host providers which I just have to scout for.

I guess it is still not late then . . .

Putting Up A Website

I doubt if the internet has already gotten its peak but right now, I could say that its popularity has immensely grown a million-fold. Not only well-known companies have already put up their own websites for the consumers to visit, but also those 'nobody' entities too. The internet has become a top option for marketing and somehow it has not failed them. Individuals has also joined into the wagon and voiced out their thoughts, emotions and opinions through blogs or online journals.

After being on hiatus for two months, I also realized that this blog needs to have its own domain and web hosting. In just a matter of two months, this blog will be two years old already and web hosting is the best gift I could possibly give.

Of course, there are considerations to ponder on, most especially the cost. I am still on the lookout for the best providers that offer the lowest costs. I am not an expert as far as the world wide web is concerned and so I refer quite often to this website called webhostingrating.com for information. It is a great resource for people who are still not fully oriented with the complexities of the internet. It is a wise guide for noobs like me, haha!

Well, I have two months to weigh these top web host providers and hopefully I could be able to pick one on time.

Web Hosting Decisions

I remembered a funny thought that I had a year ago. I thought I could host my own site in just a blink of an eye, not putting into consideration the processes involved to get through the final stage. Well, forgive me for having that thought, I am only human and yet naive in the world of cyberspace.

Now I know there are a lot of considerations of ponder on about web hosting and I am thankful that I was introduced to such idea, otherwise I would be making mistakes over and over again. These considerations ranges from cost to reliability, and even their customer support should be counted in. A number of web hosting providers are everywhere in the net and although all of them offer the same nature of services, of course they differ on how they extend those services to their clients. It would be a wise move then to get to know them more through reviews from customers and articles from experts.

I am saving up more resources so that I could eventually have my own domain for my two blogs. And while I do the saving, I will go over the reviews and hope I could make up my mind which to choose.

Blogging at Wordpress

I have it in mind to put up another blog about my three kids and another blog about my accounting profession but still haven't got the time. I am still very busy with my work, with the deadline coming up in less than two weeks.

Anyway, I am very excited to have these two blogs since they would be about what I love. I have also planned to have them at wordpress, so the excited grew all the more, since I would be stepping on a new ground. I would have a variety of blogs at a variety of blog hosts

I am already on the look-out for wonderful wordpress themes and luckily they are everywhere on the net. I found an excellent site for bloggers which features a wide selection of free wordpress themes and even a number of tips and tutorials.

Sigh . . . I couldn't wait to start.

My First Review Me Payout

Last November 1, I received my first ever payout for the month of October from Review Me and I was so ecstatic considering that I only joined them last October 16 (I guess). In a matter of 18 days, I have already earned $108 and was very glad to have found them on my paypal account. I was so amazed indeed and hoping that i could still get opps from them from time to time.

Their payout is done monthly, at the first day of the succeeding month. The sign up was so hassle-free and their review and approval of my blog only happened overnight. If you are interested to join them, you can click on the banner on my sidebar (under the earn by blogging caption).

Here is a scap I have made indicating the payout...

I want to save this for Christmas....well, if only I could!

Web Hosting

This blog is almost approaching its anniversary and I am considering of getting its own domain. Of course, everything is to be weighed in and that includes web hosting.

Right now, I am still in the phase of understanding web hosting, so that I will be able to choose which companies or sites offer the best services, as well as prices. That is no longer a worry for me because Web Hosting Rating dot com has the widest directory of web hosts, that have been rated by their customers. Their rating system is based on individual customers' views and comments in terms of satisfaction, affordability, uptime, reliability and support.

Aside from that, they have great articles for reference, which had somehow enhanced my understanding on web hosting.

An Earning Mommy = SocialSpark

Traditionally, wives are left at home in order to care for the other members of the family while the husbands are out earning for their living. Well, everything is different nowadays, with the higher prices of commodities filling in every second, it is already difficult for our dear husbands to meet the basic necessities of the family.

While other mommies work for additional income for the household, other mommies just can't go out to do the same. And for most reason, kids can not be left at home with no one to look over them. Mommies have to stay with the kids and be with them on their daily activities.

Ahem...that could no longer be worry for mommies who would like to help out hubbies financially. The existence of online opportunities made it easier for stay at home moms to earn while taking care of the kids and doing household chores.

Got this new way of earning through blogs from a friend, and I was thankful to her for sharing this one. It is called the AmaSenseAds, by Amazon.

Thanks Social Spark!

Bloggers - - we all know that the beauty with blogging is endless. We get to pour out our hearts and minds just by fondling our fingers on the keyboard. Blogging is our means of releasing our thoughts and views about everything, from the concrete to the abstract form.

Of course, aside from the privilege of putting into words the thoughts we have in mind, blogging also gives us the way to gain friends over the net and the prestige to be known. We meet new comrades along the way through hopping blogs and signing up on directories.

Blogging is also a great way to earn money online. That is made possible by SocialSpark, a site that intends to extend services to internet enthusiasts with the desire to earn money, build community and drive traffic. They create a new milestone in blog marketing, where everybody could benefit. Bloggers could earn and with the huge lot of opportunities in its marketplace, chances of earning more are very clear and evident.

Social Spark has maintained its code of ethics, to which I am impressed. These are as follows:

As a blogger, I am very much thrilled for getting their approval to be part of their team and am looking forward for a great online journey with them. One could never go wrong with SocialSpark.
