Giddy over this pagerank update? My excitement was dampened when I saw that this blog remained at pagerank 3. 
But I’m sure the update is not over yet. So, I’m still crossing my fingers. But at least many of my new blogs start showing some green love. So not so bad, right?
How are your pageranks?

Business cards never get to find refuge in my wallet, my own business cards that is. I always put off printing some or getting professional business card makers print some for me because I think I have no need for them as a laboratory technician back then.
Now that I’ve found a more fulfilling career with the help of web content writing and other online gigs, I felt the need for business cards. However, something’s still holding me back…
If you find no difficulty in getting yourself a business card if you’re an employee of a company with an office in a commercial space, now how about conceptualizing a business card for a home-based worker such as a web content writer like me? Web content writing and blogging are not so popular job titles. How do you communicate to non-Internet-savvy folks the real deal about these jobs?Â
Many make money online blogs’ dream is to get a higher pagerank everytime Google updates its pagerank toolbar. And as lots of webmasters speculate, this second week of April will be the next pagerank update. Â
For the uninitiated, the Google pagerank update is much awaited because of the following reasons:
1. A higher pagerank earns a site a better reputation.
Many will perceive that your site will be one of the best ones. Since a higher pagerank theoretically means it has earned more trust from other sites.
2. A higher pagerank allows the site owner to make more money online.
It increases the value of your blog in the eyes of advertisers. So, more chances of filling up all your Text Link Ads inventory, more ReviewMe offers, and hopefully more direct advertisers.
Since a pagerank update is underway, it’s natural that many gets excited. Many will be running the live pagerank tool often to check how their sites will fare.
I wonder how this site will rank this time. I guess I still have to wait for the pagerank toolbar show me more green, er, love.
In stead of the usual work from home rants from me, please do visit the other blogs I write for. Here are some of the recent making money online posts I’ve come up with:
Pagerank Talk – I’ve heard that a pagerank update will be happening this month so although I’m not an expert on how should pagerank really be valued, I touched this topic with abandon in the perspective of someone who would like to monetize his blog.
Making Money from Direct Advertisers on Your Blog - Although I haven’t been able to get direct advertisers on any of my blog yet, I almost got one. Almost because I’ve failed to close the deal. And the reasons I mentioned why direct advertisers ignore my blog are actually some of the reasons which, I believed, have turned off my potential direct sponsor.
Get Paid Displaying Job Listings on Your Blog - I tried using paid job listings with JobCoin only to get disappointed later on because they won’t pay via check delivery. So I tried SimplyHired’s Jobamatic. Although I’m not sure if they also require PayPal-only payout method. If you’d like to see how Jobamatic works, it’s on my sidebar under the Jobs section.

Channelling one’s energy and effort to one source of income is actually winning more and more nods everyday. Those who advocate focusing on just one business depends on the fact that the more you don’t have a choice, the more vigor you put in running that business or job and the more chances of succeeding in it. Makes sense, doesn’t it?
However, if you are a professional multi-tasker or if you are simply getting bored of your current job, spreading your time and effort on various projects can actually become more rewarding. Aside from getting yourself more pockets to get money from, you also discover more of yourself when it comes to your limitations and inclinations. But the discovery part should not be your main goal if you really want to work on something else because you want more profit.
So, if you have been thinking that you can now accommodate other home based sources of income, what are your options? It depends on a variety of factors:
So how do you start looking for new gigs? It’s often the same way you found your current gig. Research, apply, deliver and advertise.
More on each of these steps in finding home based gigs.
Working from home in the Philippines, especially doing online jobs, is one fun feat because aside from the possibility of getting paid in dollars, which is equivalent to approx. Php48 as of this time being, technology makes many tasks easier to accomplish.
So after three months, I’m glad to take note of which goals I’ve accomplished so far:
1. Blogging opportunities.
From ghostwriting three blogs with flat rates and writing for two with revenue sharing business model, I have dropped the revenue sharing blogging stints and one of those which I ghostwrite. Read the rest of this entry »
