Continue Blogging
By Money Sick | July 10, 2007
Why I blog? I blog because I want to know what a blog is. I want to try blogging. After I had tested, used and experienced it, I came to know of Google Adsense. It is opportunity to earn money. After that I learn how to make money from blogs. There are various products which I can sell, making your own products, and even selling your affiliate products from various affiliate programs that you join.
Recently there are lots of companies paying you to blog for advertisers. I have signed up and tried on plenty of them. So far I have no payment issues, except for some occasional delays and and there. However, the most disappointing ones that I had experienced now is ReviewMe. You can read more at Review of ReviewMe and Earn From Review Me. ReviewMe had not paid me yet until today. Last night I had cancelled all links to the advertisers involved whom ReviewMe did not pay me. I know it would not be fair for those advertisers who had paid ReviewMe. But ReviewMe never pays me! This morning I had received an email from Text-linked Ads CFO, Bill Fish, saying that payments will be sent out to those accounts which have payment errors. For the whole day, no payment was ever received! I am not going to waste my time nor energy to write any more emails to them. If they do not send me the money, I am prepared to ‘lose’ all the money — just treat it as a lesson learn.
Do I continue blogging when there are so much uncertainty with these companies? There are still many other places where I can earn money. They are Smorty, Blogsvertise, PayU2Blog, Blogitive, Bloggerwave, SponsoredReviews, Blogads and not forgetting PayPerPost. One moment you are writing for these companies and the next moment, some in a week, some in 2 weeks and some in 30 days time, you may not get your money. Mails sent to them, but no replies at all!
At Helium, you can still earn money, at those places I mentioned above, so far they pay. So there is still opportunities for making money! Here I have found a topic at Helium which is what I want to say next:
The best reasons to continue writing on your blog
While some people start a blog for the purpose of making money, there are more reasons for doing so. There are just so many reasons why people want to have their own blogs. But just like any other thing, people get ‘tired’ of blogging after some time. They get bored or even unmotivated to continue with their blogs. Just like there are various reasons why people start their blogs, there are various reasons why people would stop writing on their blogs too.
I would still continue writing my blog. I have many blogs. Some people wonder if I am tired of having so many blogs. Of course I am. I am not a robot. Blogging which was once so alien to me, was no longer foreign to me. It is now my life, my hobbies as well as my business, my money-making tools and products.
Blogging is a very versatile tool. Not only can you make money with it, it allows you to have an online collection of all your favourites. I love to collect all the inspirational things that I come across. Living in a small place, physical objects take up a lot of place. Collecting virtual objects in my blogs is my new way to collect all my inspiration. There is no more scrapbooks, no more junks and no more aching of my hands. With blogging, all I have to do is type, publish or upload, and search. Whenever I need to refer back to my collection, I search for my archives.
Apart from making money, and acting as a scrapbook for inspirational collection, a blog also serves the purpose of an online journal. During the past, a journal is considered something personal and it is rude to read the diary of other person without permission. However in this era, an online diary or journal have the purpose of showing people and telling people about your life. It is sharing your life and your experience with other people around the world. Having a journal also allows you to have more contacts or friends when it attracts similar interest person to it.
Blogging allows you to organize your thoughts clearly. By ‘writing’ down your thoughts and emotion, one can curb their emotion better too. Blogging has allowed me to pour my sorrows, vent my frustration and share my weals and woes with my destiny readers.
With these reasons, it is suffice to say why I would continue blogging!

So do I continue blogging despite all the obstacles? No, for everything that you do, you need to be consistent and persistent. You need to have perseverance in order to succeed.
ReviewMe Had not been updating their blog for two months! Last night no update still. Tonight they had this message:
What has Roy Been Up To
Readers, I know this blog has been dead for over two months and that is long enough! We have been busy these last two months mapping out the direction for ReviewMe moving forward. We have two very cool announcements happening in the coming days.
1. A brand new product that will revolutionize the paid blogging model. This should be out to the public this Tuesday with a little luck.
Nothing would be attractive to me if they fail to pay me. In business, there got to be lots of trust. Proper ethics and codes of conduct is important in gaining the trust and respect of customers. I appreciate Bill Fish email to me this morning. But still it is not from ReviewMe (ROY?).
2. A promotion that will do a lot of good for some great charities. Thinking July 18th on this one but if you are familiar with development schedules this date is a crap shoot.
I know these are very vague updates but I got to keep our competition guessing
This may be a buying time tactics as in every sales. Unless I receive my payments from them, I am not going to trust them. It is not a matter of how much. It is a matter of promise.
