So, what are you waiting for?

Blogging isn’t a way to passive income. It looks more like an earned income. Passive income means that you won’t be taxed. I hope. In Singapore context, royalties are taxable. Therefore, I will not be able to earn much passive income if I were to write my own book.

So, if I were to sell an e-book, what sort of income is that? With the cost of living rising every month, how am I supposed to be able to save up enough in order to be able to live comfortably without relying on CPF since it isn’t giving out my money as I am unable to plan my expenditure.

Gosh, I didn’t know that my brains won’t be working at age 85. So, I need someone to help me with governing my money. Therefore, what are my options for passive income? Adsense? Adbrite? Linkworth’s LinkSura, LinkBB?

Adsense learns from the keywords being used in a site and thus, with a site niche, you get ads that are similar to your site. Other ways of earning online include highlighting of the keywords after signing up with marketing companies to link to other sites promoting services or products with that keyword.

Does reading emails and getting paid to read emails count as passive or earn? Ultimately, how do I grow more money?

With the new localised search engine launched, I realised something; I can be found so much easier. It also means that I should be more careful about political writings that I may write out of frustration. Here’s introducing, Rednano.sg.

What I can’t figure out is that why it’s called Rednano.sg. I shall not blog about politics no matter what. What I can do is to blog but keep them in private. Yes, that’s what I shall do. That’s why I love Wordpress.

I tested a few phrases in Rednano.sg and my sites are now in the 1st page. I’m not sure what algorithm they are using but I believe it could be due to the pagerank by Google that’s also affecting the results. By searching for PIE, you won’t find just the food, you’ll find information about the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE).

I just hope that my personal details such as home address don’t turn up in the results. I mean, just look at movies making use of Google to search for someone to be found. Scary.

Cyber chat used to be hot and popular for horny men looking for girls to chat up a storm. Even kids as young as eleven are already adept in chatting. One even insisted that he needed MSN despite being overseas for holiday.

To prevent sexual assaults, sex offenders have been known to be limited in their online access. I don’t know if it’s working since I can still see horny men online who will sought out the young girls and have their desires fulfilled while threatening them not to report to anyone.

The mIRC days were over for me after I got bored of being chatted by horny men who wanted to have virtual sex. I wonder how do they even get the fulfilled feeling bey masturbating with their hands. I can’t begin to imagine that. However, I do like the replies of this female impersonator, from hugging fat girls to steaming dicks.

I wonder if cybersex is still prevalent out there. Could still be, since there are still reports of girls being lured to some secluded place. It could also be due to the fact the girls need attention and this sort of men gave them just that moment of attention. However, at what price?

I thought I would try my hand in suggesting domain names. I have suggested more than 10 names with 4 being disliked in various offers. One of it even claimed “I’m open to just about any name.” The irony is that all of my suggestions were in the dislike folder.

Not quite sure if I should even continue using Picky Domains. Perhaps, I should stop using since the names are disliked. It isn’t easy to even have a short domain name because most of them are parked and to purchase them is out of the question as the domain parker won’t consider any amount less than what they want to sell.

I joined hoping to earn 50% if my suggestions are selected. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the luck.

Did I mention that I’m on the hunt for a replacement? I now have a few replacements in mind. Besides iPhone. It’s always a good idea to have a list of items for such purchase. I don’t want to end up with the wrong mobile and end up complaining too many times.

I’m a little curious about MWg Zinc II as it’s a successor to XDA Zinc. It does look a little like iPhone. Anyone has something to recommend for PDA phones?

I know my traffic here isn’t much to shout about. I haven’t even worked towards making the Alexa rank or Technorati rank to be higher. In fact, I’m not working so hard at improving the rankings.

So, how do I improve my Alexa rank? I know I can’t do a thing about Google Page Rank though. Perhaps I should use some of the tips by Dosh Dosh in improving my Alexa rank by using the redirection method, install Firefox with Alexa toolbar and flaunt my website.

I have been linking to other sites all these time but I guess I still need time to work towards being discovered, Stumbled upon or Digged.

I am tired. However, I am not giving up trying to earn some more by being affiliated. It means I don’t have to write posts that aren’t related to this blog and get paid with just US$5 per post for 200 words.

It sure is tough trying to come up with 200 words to praise this company that I know nuts about. Meanwhile, I have signed up with various programmes in my attempt to get away from the routine office job.

So far, the money has not gone up exponentially or stable in 4 figure amount but I sure hope the amount can go up from 2 figure to 4 figure in 3 years. Until then, I’m stuck in the office.
