A Mom's Life and Loveswork from home | A Mom's Life and Loves http://elcalientemamma.com My life as a mom who loves everything about her kids Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:04:43 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 I get paid to blog http://elcalientemamma.com/i-get-paid-blog/ http://elcalientemamma.com/i-get-paid-blog/#comments Tue, 20 Sep 2011 18:23:27 +0000 Mamma http://elcalientemamma.com/?p=1295 Yep, I get paid to blog and I love it! Who wouldn’t want to get paid blogging?

Blogging has been an outlet for me to release all my pent up thoughts and energy. It’s not easy taking care of kids 24/7. Somehow, with blogging I found a balance between that, house chores, and time for myself. Blogging is time for myself. It’s where I can just write whatever I want, but still mostly about me and my life as a mom.

It’s an added bonus that sometimes I earn a little from doing something I now love, blogging. I didn’t really believe it at first but when I started to get paid to blog, that’s when I realized that I could make it work for me. I don’t need to sacrifice one for the other, as long as I know my priorities and boundaries.

I’m thankful that my husband and sisters support me with my blogging. Because of what I do know, I love being a mom even more because I get to work my way around different things and be happy with all of it.

I honestly didn’t think that I would enjoy blogging. I thought I would run out of ideas to write right away since I’m not accustomed to writing in a “diary”  but boy was I wrong. I love it even more and if you’re reading this, thank you for making me happy. Just by reading, I fulfill my goal to share even if it’s just my thoughts. Thank you too for my family and new found friends who encouraged me to blog, and help me find ways to earn more. Blogging is fun, and I get paid to do it (sometimes).

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

Last week, I blogged about thinking of going back to work in a call center. Our needs are getting bigger, and I really want to save up. My paid opps online aren’t as frequent since a month ago, due to the fact that I lost my page rank. I chatted with my friend the day after I posted that, and  she’s a really old friend of mine, who is also my “buddy” in Victory Christian Fellowship. I was telling her how I miss going to Church, and how my life is going on at the present. Trust in God is what she has always been reminding me. “You work hard, you try your best. HE will provide.” And trust I did. I was supposed to have an interview with the “dream company” I was telling K, Ate Tey and Yuuki about. It was perfect, was what I said. Good compensation, allowances, etc. I cancelled my interview. 2 days later, I got an email from one of the buyers in oDesk that he is hiring me for a permanent job. God must have known that this is what I wanted and that little Sanjo needs his mom at home. (I don’t have a maid).. All I can say now is that “Praise GOD! He truly works in mysterious but wondrous ways.” And just the other day, I got my PR back. Isn’t He wonderful?

I have just started my online gig yesterday, but no worries. I will still have time to bloghop. :)

i started blogging a couple of months ago, and only started trying to earn online or work from home about a month ago. i know i’m not the only one, and there are quite a few others who are with me on the same boat. some may already be “experts” when it comes to making money online, some may still be completely in the dark, and some like me, may still be trying to weigh which options would work or not. this is mind, WAHMs like me need a few tips here and there to help us be it in money making opportunities, or simply organizing or managing our time online and from home.
so earlier today, i came across an article titled “Free WAHM Strategies for Getting Work Done”. the first person that came to my mind was TEY, because i chat with her often (or whenever she’s online), and i know she’s having quite a challenge keeping up with her 2 indians, managing her home and trying to get work done online. so instead of just sharing this article with her, i thought it would be best to share it with everyone since there are suggestions here which aren’t just applicable to moms only but to anyone who’s trying to make a living from home.
so without further adieu, here’s the pdf file of the said article:
Free WAHM Strategies for Getting Work Done

hope you pick up a few useful tips like i did. or at least enjoy reading! :)

Rate a Review or another users’ comment 1 Credit
Grade a Product, Service, Person or Biz-Opp 10 Credits
Add your own comment to any review 50/100/150 Credits + *Bonus*
Suggest a new product, service, etc. for review 75 Credits


not bad, eh? it’s not that difficult to earn 2,000 points. i just registered a few days ago and logged in for about an hour. (i don’t have time to post yet since i’ve been busy fixing my other blog and such), and so far i have about 164 credits. i will be ready to start posting reviews by tomorrow or tonight, so hopefully, i’ll be able to accumulate 500 points by the weekend. if you’re really good in writing reviews and you know a lot about SEO, online business opportunities and sites (yes, even paid to click or post sites), then you’ll find it really easy to come up with the 2,000 credits. in a week or so is possible.
i have seen payment proofs for this site myself, so i can guarantee it is a paying site.
so what are you waiting for? JOIN ME! :)

HOW DOES IT WORK?
you get paid for reviews and/or get paid posts that you make. there are advertisers or buyers which show you products or websites to review. you search for offers available, and you can check out the requirements first, and then you can choose whether to write a blog post about it for $1, a short review for $2, or a detailed review for $5. this is not a fixed price. campaigns may offer to pay more or less the amounts that i have indicated above. some pay more, depends on the requirements that they will ask from you. now, once you have chosen your preferred posting option, you can then submit a bid to the advertiser. once the advertiser approves your bid, then you will receive a bid approval from the advertiser and you will be given up to 3 days to complete the task.
payments are made through paypal, and the minimum is $50. i don’t think this is hard to reach if you can make 50 posts in a month. :)
