Getting Paid For My Second Sponsored Review

This is my second time write a review for a website and getting paid in one of my technical blogs. Well, I cannot disclose the link of the post I have written at this blog because one of the terms is "do not include a sponsored disclosure within the post".

I registered SponsoredReviews.com quite a long time ago and did not actively look for advertisers. Very lucky, I got the two offers from two different advertisers although my blog's traffic is not high. Maybe the theme of my blog looks good to them.

For the last review (and also for the first review), the offer was $15 and I will get $9.65 in my PayPal account and the rest go to SponsoredReviews.com. SponsoredReviews.com takes 35% from the amount paid by advertiser as the transaction fees.

Actually I think the income from writing a sponsored review is quite good if you have a good blog with high traffic. You will get paid from what you have written (quick money!) and at the same time, you add more content to your blog as well to generate more traffic.

I will be more aggressive to look for advertisers to bid for review opportunities when my blogs grow bigger (more pages cached in search engines) and have more traffic. Because the higher traffics the website you have, you will more likely to bid for more expensive opportunities.

If you have a great blog and can write good English, maybe you want to try to make more money by writing reviews.

Received My Google Adsense Earnings First Time From Western Union

Although this is not my first time to get a cash out from my Google Adsense but for this time, I have been waiting for about 10 months to achieve the $100 minimum payout. I believe my Google Adsense's earning is improving and hopefully it is.

Why I choose Western Union? I think this is the fastest way to receive your money in your own currency. By ordinary cheque, you will need to wait one month to get Google Adsense cheque to deliver in Malaysia. Then you will need to wait another month for the bank to clear the cheque.

Dubai’s Debt Crisis Rattled World Financial Markets

The news on Dubai debt delays on last week cause the world stock markets to fell with a quit significant amount. Is this the indication that the world financial crisis is not ended?

HSI (Hang Seng Index) felt 1075.91 to 21134.50 (-4.84%), SSE (Shanghai Stock Exchange) felt 74.72 to 3096.26 (-2.36%) and (DOW) Dow Jones Industrial Average felt 154.48 to 10309.92 (-1.48%).

Luckily Malaysia was having holiday due to Hari Raya Haji celebration on last Friday, therefore FBM KLCI is not affected at this moment.

What will happen to FBM KLCI on Monday? I guess there will be a lot of people panic selling their shares to have some cash on hand. I think I will wait and see and buy on dip on those good fundamental counters especially blue chips.

The 80/20 Rule And How It Affects My Google Adsense Earning

Have you ever heard of The 80/20 Rule (also know as Pareto principle) ? I think it is the fundamental to every business person or even to every human being. According to Wikipedia, this is how it defines The 80/20 Rule:

The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule,[1] the law of the vital few, and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
