Have you joined SocialSpark yet?

Hey there, dear readers!  Here’s a new Social Networking site for you to steadily glue your eyes upon: SocialSpark!  Basically it’s a Social Networking Site from the guys who brought you PayPerPost.  And yes, you can earn quick cash through Social Spark as well.  I believe what they did is that, since they recognized the power of the community of the posties in PPP, they wanted that community to build upon solid and genuine relationships (not just as online buddies who do Sponsored Posts, which this one is, by the way), so they jumped on the idea and out comes SocialSpark!

If you’re not there yet, you may want to check out some profiles, like this of Ed Nanquil’s.  I guess it doesn’t hurt to say that the design of the site is quite easy on the eyes, and it’s very easy to navigate.  The colors aren’t too straining, although some of the elements are a bit too big for comfort.  In any case, I guess those are minute details they can work upon in the future.

So, want to earn cash while making friends?  Join SocialSpark now!  You’ll never know what kinds of different opportunities may come your way.  =)

On getting a loan

I know I’m not yet fully qualified to get a loan from any banks or loaning firms out there, but if ever I am I’d like to get one just to augment my finances especially for the coming holidays.

There’s plenty of loaning firms out there, but very few offer Cheap loans. Banks charge horrendous fees for loans but for good reason. But if you’re thinking of getting Unsecured loans, there are many out there, I believe, that are just right for you.

If only I’m rich enough and can handle my finances well, I’d get Homeowner loans for my parents so that they can have a house of their own (then I’d take over our current house! hehehehe).

Loans are somehow as bad as credit cards if you don’t know how to manage your finances well. So before getting a loan, make sure you can pay for what you borrowed. Don’t get a loan if you don’t really need it. These loaning firms are very helpful but only in times of dire need. Also,time your loans in such a manner that you don’t get one piled up over the other. Remember, Management is the key to going debt-free! (Oh boy, did I just rhyme?! LOL)

New York Yankees

I’m no American but I have a few friends who are really into baseball especially in the US. Just like basketball fans here in the Philippines, baseball fans in the US are pretty much obsessive.

I remember one time when I had a classmate in one of my English subjects during freshman year who recounted his experience watching the New York Yankees during their Spring Training. He got his New York Yankees Spring Training tickets free from his dad who knew someone from the management staff of the team. That lucky bastard!

Anyways if I ever get the chance to go the US I’d surely attend one of this team’s spring training and watch them do baseball like that’s what they do all their lives.

Get Paid to Blog with Smorty!

Blog Advertising - Get Paid to Blog

One of the reasons why I blog for money is for me to raise funds to buy my own laptop. And Smorty helps me achieve just that!

I happen to chance upon Smorty through a friend’s site, and I gotta say he only had nice words to say about Smorty. Unlike other Blog Advertising schemes out there, Smorty lets you write about the things you like–they need your straight opinion, be it positive or negative.

Another good thing about Smorty is that it doesn’t require a minimum amount for payout. They send you your hard-earned cash through Paypal every two weeks, and post approval takes only about 5 days to a week.

It’s also not bad to note that Smorty compensates quite well, where posts range from $6 to as much as $60 dollars per post, which is based on your Smorty score, a unique device which determines your ranking based on approved posts, Alexa rank, Google PageRank and other pertinent information about your blog.

Getting started with Smorty is easy! Just have an active blog with around 3-months worth of posts and you’re good to go! Can anything be easier than that?

So why don’t you try Smorty now?

Traveling to Europe

I don’t know why but I always had the penchant for traveling to Europe, to London specifically. I’ve always had wild dreams of strolling by the streets of London with all the English-speaking people with funny accents around.

To make that dream a reality, I think I need a European travel agency with reasonable offerings for cheap package holidays so I can maybe go there this Christmas. What do you think?

I believe Holiday Hypermarket is a great site for all of us looking for cheap travel to the most beautiful places of the world. Now my dream of going to London can come true! Thanks to Holiday Hypermarket. =)

Online Casino Reviews

About a few years ago a new revolution swept the web by storm. Suddenly, online casinos have started sprouting up that it became the object of sometimes annoying popup ads and inline advertisements.

Truly, you can never be sure of what an online casino can offer. Some have proven to be mere shams, while others proved their worth and customers were satisfied.

To date, there are as many casino online websites now as there are porn sites. So how do you choose which ones to play in?

That’s when Pro360.com steps in. Pro360 reviews all these online casino websites and ranks them based on the number of US players, Bonuses you can get, certifications and a whole lot of other factors which can help you decide which place is the best to splurge your hard-earned cash.

Monetizing my Blog

As I have said in my previous post, I’ll be “milking this cow” from now on in order to pursue my dream of having my own laptop. Now one of the options I chose is by posting sponsored posts.

Now I know this would really irk people, but I promise I’d balance sponsored and non-sponsored posts so that this blog won’t be saturated with ads and link loves. But again, I do apologize if ever you’re irked. If you think my blog sucks from now on because I’ve suddenly crossed onto the dark side of the web, well, it’s a bold decision I had to make but I gotta do it. Shallow as it may seem to some but really, I owe no one an explanation.

AAAAANYWAY, the first sponsored post of this blog comes from PayPerPost. I learned about PayPerPost through my friend Mimi, who accepted sponsored posts in her blog to earn money for her trip to Sydney, Australia to attend the World Youth Day. I sorta envy my friend Mimi because she’s going to pursue her dream of attending the WYD and seeing the Pope live and alive, even across thousands of people. I longed for that moment too, in fact I stood by the TV for hours on end when the Pope visited the Philippines last 1995 (I was 7 years old then).

In any case PayPerPost helps bloggers like me and Mimi who are in need of earning cash by posting blog reviews in our blogs. What’s good about PPP is that you choose which content you’d like to review, giving you full freedom to pick those topics that could suit your blog and writing style.

So, if you wanna join in the fun, hop on to PayPerPost.com now! =)
