I would like to wish everyone a belated New Year 2009.

It has been a while since I make a post here and I am so sorry for that. It seems suffering from a burnout in blogging seems very serious if you are still making peanuts money even without any blogging.

Year 2008 was a great year in making money but only during the first half of it - which I averaged USD1,000 a month from google adsense. But during the second half it drop to below USD100 a month due to some problems from main blog-which is from blogspot(I would recommend using own domain if you are really serious in making money from blogging).

The experiment using Adbrite to replace Adsense went quite well but the truth is no matter what monetization method that you are using the most important thing is still truckloads of traffic that will generate the money. But one thing though, Adbrite is still using cheques to pay us here in Malaysia  and it take ages for it to clear.

So my new year resolution is to update all my blogs and start earning more money again from blogging. This is something that I must do or I will end up earning only 20cents a day from adsense this year. Hopefully not.

I will start by finding a new theme for this blog.

So, good luck in everything that you do.

Cheers.

I hate checks. I hate it because it take longer time to get my hands on the hard cold cash. But if the amount is from Internet advertising such as adbrite with no other payment option available, then we can only wait. The good thing is that it takes only about 3 weeks to reach my home town of Sabah from California (is that normal?).

I will deposit the check on Friday (31 October) during my office lunch break. Based on previous experience from depositing US based bank checks (albeit an adsense on that is) it will take around 45 days for it to clear. I just hope it will clear before Christmas so that I can use that money to buy things for this year end festive season.

The amount is only USD$458.13 which is ~ MYR1,500 which is still good(better with the higher exchange rate now).

You can register adbrite here if you want to give it a try.

I also got some payment from google adsense:

I did put some adsense ads in my smaller(dying blogs..zz)and it took 2 months to reach the minimum payment which is USD$100.

Finnally, for my regular readers- sorry for the long absense of new post in this blog. I am just a bit busy juggling works and other commitments at the moment. But you will be hearing more from Mr. Rajawang from now one(Hopefully).

Cheers.

You know how they do payments at adbrite? They do it the old way using cheques! I really wish that they will be using something like Western Union for their payments.

After an agonizing wait of 3 months plus, my payments are finally processed and send through snail mail to Malaysia from don’t know where. And it is still a waiting game for it to arrived and then need to bankin and wait somemore. Zzz hopefully will be getting it before Christmas.

If you like fast payment, go for adsense. Lol.

I am back! Sorry for the long hiatus from blogging here. Everyone needs a break, right? Haha. Especially when your TMnet streamyx line is killing you. Maybe getting a Celcom broadband is a better option now.

Well, the online income for me is down again. Adbrite is good but the cheque will only be send after 60days of hitting the minimum cheque figure, so I will only receive mine on October 2008 (hopefully).

The total breakdown (Last month figure in brackets):

AdBrite - US$295.97 -(US$431.13) down US$135.16
WidgetBucks - US$49.17 -(US$61.07) down US$11.90
Bidvertiser - US$9.91-(US$24.31) down US$14.40
AuctionAds - US$2.07 -(US$0.48) up US$1.59
Kontera - US$16.58- (US$21.79) down US$5.21
Nuffnang - US$2.21-(US$5.20) down US$2.99

Almost all in red figures. That is not a very good thing, right?

Total Income: US$375.91 ~ RM1,240.50 (based on US$1-RM3.30)

Conclusion

So that’s all for this Rajawang make money online income report for this time, there is lots of work still to be done. Hopefully I will do better beginning next month.

And I would like to wish every Malaysian a happy Malaysia Day Sept 16!

Starting a new Make money online blog will not make you tons of money if you start now. That is what I believe in. In fact, I don’t even make $10 from this blog monthly. I make money online from my OTHER blogs. I am sorry if someone that read this blog will make an assumption that make money online blog is the way to go. But someone just did: (checkout the printscreen below)

Rajawang.net

And he/she bought Rajawang.Net, the only difference is the .net compared with this .com. Remember that Raja means King and Wang is Money. So literally Rajawang means King of Money. I can understand if someone setup a johncow.com a parody site of the great johnchow but rajawang.com? Haha I am quite flattered really.

Well, all the best of luck in making money through your new blog. I will give a head start in your traffic buildup by giving you a link here. Hopefully you can prove me wrong.

Cheers!
