Issa's Dollar Earners

welcome to my sunnier make-money blog!

By sunnier, I mean yellower. Hehe! I love pink and this blog has been the pinkest of all my blogs -- not at all suited to the making-money-online niche. But hey, it's my blog right?? =) But when I found the perfect pink/yellow Burberry-esque background in ColorLovers.com, I decided it's time to do a makeover for this blog. Nothing big, I didn't even change the Blogcrowds theme that I had for sooo long, hehe! I just tweaked the sidebars, the ads and most importantly, the colors. Here's my old blog look:

Really pink huh?? Hehe! Now that this blog is half-pink, half-yellow -- do you find it better looking? Leave me a comment! =) Oh, yeah, I have to do something with my header picture. With all the yellow, my face looks much, much yellower as if I have a liver problem. Ughh!

win lots of EC credits and $$$ from Mira!

earn from Twitter!

I guess most of you are on Twitter now, mostly for personal reasons and to connect with friends =) Me, I sworn off it coz I have too much online and offline stuff going on. Getting addicted to Twitter (most users attest to its addictive properties!) will definitely be counterproductive to my working mojo. Already there's too many distractions in our PC room =)

Anyway, I finally succumbed to Twitter coz dNeero (the easiest way to earn online! sample conversation below) offered a feature that allows you to earn from Twitter. Niiice! Now there's a "valid" money-making reason for joining Twitter ^_^ Reason #2 is John Chow's latest Twitter contest. Follow him (and Market Leverage) on Twitter and you have a chance to win 1 of 3 Flip Mino HD! Smashing ey?!

Heya guys! Long time no hear from me eh?? So sorry about that but I promise to be better this 2009 =) Already I'm tweaking this blog, trying to make it more web friendly and make it easy for readers to find what they want. If there are broken links, please contact me okay? The renovations will last the entire January as I'm still contemplating if I'll keep this pink theme or not. Hmm..

If you stumbled on my blog looking for ways to earn online, click HERE for a list of sites that pay you to blog and HERE for some freelance ideas. If you're looking for a much easier way to earn money, join dNeero -- answer a survey, post it in your blog and voila! You just earned $$$! =) Anyway here are some good reads I stumbled this week. Enjoy!

go freelance!

0 comments at 5:30 PM

Most of you know that I'm into paid blogging and also earning by using Google Adsense in my blogs and piggy websites. Sure, paid blogging earned me a lot ($1000 from PayPerPost alone!) but my bread and butter is freelance writing. And then you say, "But Issa, I don't know how to write.." or "I'm really not a good writer.." -- well, good news for you! Freelance work in the world wide web isn't limited to writing! ^_^ If you're a good photographer, you can submit your photos and earn royalties when somebody uses/downloads/buys it. If you're a programmer, there are a lot of people awaiting your services. Listed here are moneymaking sites for photographers and freelancing sites. Check them out! =) Sites I've used are with asterisk.

*Shutterstock - submit your photos and get paid a commission every time they are downloaded.

iStockPhoto - the leading stock photos site.

*Fotolia - a “web 2.0″ version of iStockPhoto.

eXpress Digital - setup your own online store front for selling your photography.

ImageKind - setup a free online gallery and sell your art online as framed prints.

StockXpert - earn 50% commission for selling your stock digital photos through their website.

*****************

*Craigslist - internet classified also lists freelance jobs.

Elance - freelance job search database with jobs in website development, graphics art, writing, etc.

FreelanceJobs.org - freelance directory for web designers, adminstrative and sales jobs, writing and more.

*GetAFreelancer - huge selection of freelance jobs for programmers, web designers, graphic artists, writers, photographers -- however, you have to bid for work here.
