How I Make Money Online
More Filipinos discover there are ways to make money online. The US and other developed countries had long harnessed the potential of earning online: this is obvious with the various income generating websites that are geared towards these geographical locations. Filipinos are still slowly getting aware of that the internet can be a rich source of income. Almost all of my friends are not aware that there are legit online jobs that really pay good income or even beats it. Many home-based moms even see this as a great alternative to pursuing work in the office.

A lot of my professional friends had not really understood the nature of what I am doing right now. I simply tell them went into freelance jobs in programming, web design and blogging. While I am currently upgrading my technical skills in Information Technology, paid blogging gigs is the main thing that puts food on my table. I simply said to my friends that I work at home. They are often baffled at how I do it and how I collect my payments from these outsourced jobs.
From blogging alone, I’m making a good income – not yet at par with the income of A-list bloggers that I’ve encountered in the blogosphere – but it exceeded the previous salaries that I’ve been receiving from my previous jobs. Blogging is enough for me to put such good income on my table. It is some kind of a regular stream of income that I can fall back when opportunities for web design and programming are not plentiful. If there would be someone who is looking for a good part time job to add to one’s income, then finding ways to earn online is a good thing to have.

good to hear it from you. I’m actually part-time programmer too and a blogger. currently i’m not earning yet the same way you do right now, but i’m trying. thanks to this post at least i am motivated to pursue w/ the blogging plans.
Oh, & i was thinking about going into programming & etc from blogging. Google smacked my blogs PR real bad so blogging (sponsored posts) is no longer a bread or beef winner for me at the mo. Do tell me your secrets of maintaining a PR3 blog.

There are too many of “make money blogs” written around the internet and some of these are written out in great detail. The information these blogs provide are more or less the same information that I can give you. A Google search can help a lot.
@bleuken
It’s great to meet bloggers who do programming at the same time. It is possible to do paid blogging. This one has a lot of sponsored posts.
@abas
Thanks for the information. I learned the new page rank of this blog from you. It was PR0 for a long time and now I’m happy that it is now PR3 with a lot of paid posts
My other PR4 blog suffered though – the rank came down to PR0.
I also am starting to do this for the past few months and I really appreciate the rewards it’s giving me even if I’m only receiving little amounts this time. I always go here and read your posts about freelance jobs and I really find your posts very helpful. Please share more tips about these as I am also thinking of doing telecommuting soon.

i can relate when you said that most of your professional friends do not understand the nature of earning money online. the first time i introduced this idea to my friends, they simply said that it isnt true and i will simply be scammed. but after a month or two, when i showed up with all the money i was earning online, they then wanted me to teach them how i do it.
sadly though, even though ive taught them everything they needed and saved them a lot of time from browsing information online, they refuse to become my referrals.. tsk. hehe
@blanne
There are a lot of scam sites in the internet. We just have to learn which ones to trust, which ones to go away, or which ones to avoid. Timing is crucial.
Reminding them to follow your referral link (instead of signing up directly) can surely help.
