Ronaldo (1)Earning From Blogging? Shoe Me The Money
Shoes are flying lately, on global TV, thanks to the hero (or villain) who gave George W. Bush his pair of shoes – a fitting gesture to “shoe” the Dubya away from Iraq.
As for Reyna Elena, the “fairy blog mother” and Queen of the Art of Social Climbing, you can throw “her” a pair of Black or Brown Mendrez shoes, size 8 and a half. You can also include another pair for me if you feel really generous this Christmas, size 10 and a half.
So I am talking about Shoes. And Money. Some people said you’ll know a person’s status in life on the shoes he’s wearing. Probably the reason why Madam Imelda once have hundreds of pairs of shoe collections. For some it’s a status symbol, while others it’s an addiction, or part of shopping addiction.
For me its just simply a necessity. I was never particular of the brand of the shoes I bought, and never will. Right now I am wearing a Php350.00 pair of shoes. It feels comfortable. I am not brand conscious, and I don’t care what other people say about the shoes I am wearing.
But I do have a pair of Lacoste and Bally shoe, and 2 pairs of less expensive Florsheim, but all were given to me. I could not imagine myself buying an expensive shoe. Once in Greenbelt Mall some years ago, I saw this really nice looking brown leather shoe, tried it and simply loved it. Then I looked at the tag, and told the pretty saleslady that I wanted to buy two pairs, black and brown. The girl gave me that big-eye-surprised-look and then a cutie smile. Then it was time to pay, she handed me a sales invoice worth Php36,000.00! Owwww, I thought the tag was Php1800.00, another look and voila! Somebody must have put another zero…
I went out of the shop (I forgot the name of that shoe shop though… Fergmo… oh, never mind I could not remember anymore) with a promise to go back there someday when I have the extra money to splurge. But it never happened, not because I don’t have the money to buy, but simply because it’s not my nature to buy pricey shoes. I have earned a few bucks through online passive income and blogging, more than enough to buy two pairs of that shoe.
When you are making money online, there’s always this tendency to splurge once in a while. After all, the money you earned is mostly passive, although many bloggers are actually putting lots of hardwork and time to earn online. They use the money to pay the utility bills, pay the rent, some are saving to buy a house or a car. For whatever purpose, many bloggers have turned to blogging to earn some extra cash using adsense, paid reviews, sponsored posts – a reality that I value with so much respect and admiration.
How about you? How’s your income from blogging? Would you show it off for everyone to see? Perhaps I will if I earn in Adsense as much as the Great Don Ser. But there’s nothing wrong with showing how much you earn anyway, its enough motivation for the other bloggers like me who want to earn money online.
Do you like bloggers who earn money from blogging? Or you hate and condemn them?

Hi Metz, thanks for that article. Since Monday, our DSL connection at the office goes on and off, I could feel my blood rushing to my brains – frustrated and disgusted for such a lame DSL service.
Hey, appreciate it very much. A nice christmas gift to this SEO newbie. Hehe
[Do you like bloggers who earn money from blogging? Or you hate and condemn them?]
It is my dream to become a blogger who make a decent, modest living out of blogging.
So, no. I do not hate or condemn them.
By the looks of it, you’re already making a decent amount of money with your blog, Master Deimos. That’s a lot of traffic you got in there.
Well, there may be a decent number of traffic so far, but the amount earned is not really going to be enough to pay for the bills yet, I’m afraid.
I am still struggling to find means to make money online.
W Bush has mighty fast reflexes. bow!

Yeah, and I guess he was just “sports” about it. LOL> by the way, what happened to the guy?
oi thanks sa mention ha. god bless!
My pleasure bro. Keep up the great job.
Yes, I saw the flying shoes. Unfortunately, the man needs to practice more in target shooting…lol! About the Php 26k shoes, di kaya kay Imelda yun?
Anyway, my earnings are still far beyond from I what I dream of. This is why I am not that visible lately. I am cooking something now, and hopefully it will taste good.
Thanks!

Hmmmm, I’m excited to know what you’re cooking up lately, Angel. For sure, you’ll gonna share it to us soon.
gusto mo rin bang batuhin si Bush?
dito, pwede kang magpractice, nakita ko ang bagong game, hehe…
Roy´s last blog post..You too can throw shoes at Bush
LOL, I had a great time playing that cool game.
Kaya lang bagal na ng reflexes ko, hehee, the best score is only 10.
my highest was 12, pero di ko na maulit, hehe…
Roy´s last blog post..How much for the ketchup?
I really admire those people who monetize their blogs. Walang masama as long as they do it in a decent way. Wag lang maging spammers. Ang daming bloggers nowadays, copy paste lang talaga para masabing kumikita sa blog, yun ang kinaiinisan ko.
Ambo´s last blog post..SEO Plugins for WordPress Blog Must Have
Hehehe, tama ka bro. Making money with blogging requires lots of hardwork, patience and dedication.
That is why its uncalled for when some people discriminate bloggers who are into making money online. As long as you’re doing it the right and legal way – there’s nothing wrong with it
In my opinion, kaya talunin ni bush si pacquiao sa boxing, kasi nailagan nga ung dalawang lumilipad na sapatos, hahahahaha…
About earning money online. sapat naman para manood kami sine ni **misis** kaya lang di ko hilig..hehhe (nakakatakot kuya pag may bagong movie kasi yari na naman ako sa kanya dahil cold shoulder ako, e takot pa naman ako sa sinehan, hhahahaha)..

That incident really made me laugh! Hahahahaha!!!!
Anyway, with regards to earning money online, I’m not good at it. I think I haven’t earned $100 yet. Good thing my adsense already reached $100 after 8 months of blogging! Whew! I envy some bloggers because they can easily reach the $100 mark some in just 3 months!
I want to try doing SEOs but I still want to stick on my niche, that is entrepreneurship, personal finance, investments, and self-motivation.
Why? Because I included my blog in my resume.

I hate them! Because they’re earning money and I’m not. lol.
Bai, wasn’t able to reply to the invite. Been totally unplugged for 3 days. Internet’s down, cellphone’s barred (hehehe), and I’m in Mindanao.
Looks like there are a few very interesting developments in the blogosphere. Moralists and their high horses again? Tsk. Tsk.
