You all know I did not pick the winners, so don’t blame me! Screw random.org for producing the list.. lol! If you have 10 entries then I pasted your name 10 times etc.. The list was too long so I only took a partial screenshot of it..

First Prize: Candace Robinson (Flip Mino Video Camera)
Second Prize: bm ($100 ML Reward)
Third Prize: BlogTipsforBeginners ($50 ML Reward)
*please email me, asap.

4-10, you can claim 1000 EC Credits from me, if you want. I would like to thank Market Leverage for this wonderful opportunity. Indeed, they know how to pamper us (their affiliates), also to Dina and Debby for helping me out in making this contest a success. Lastly, Thank you to all my loyal readers and contest participants.. don’t worry, I’m sure Market Leverage will sponsor another contest here at WPTD soon, so we’ll be rockin’ again (let’s go start beggin’ Dina and Debby for another cool gadget give-away, just kidding)!

Oh and do watch out for my Affiliate Blog, I will be using only Market Leverage for it. I’ll post about my trip later..

Congratulations!

Hey guys! I’m going to Hongkong Disneyland! I’m taking a break because I have been working really hard this year. I have also doubled my earnings since last year, so this is my way of Rewarding myself for a job well done. Other than that, I will be embarking on new challenges as an Online Entrepreneur. I have shared this to all of you that I am about to Launch my Online Business, I’m way behind my target time frame but I didn’t want to produce anything I can’t be proud of.

Also, I wanted to prepare a full-week content here on WPTD but I am worried because I won’t be around screening comments. I don’t like the thought of just posting and not being able to interact with all of you. Sadly, I don’t have anyone who can take over the blog for me while I’m away. Thus, there will be no updates until Saturday, August 23, 2008.

Market Leverage Contest Winner

I am sincerely sorry that I won’t be able to announce the winner on the 17th but I just want to make it clear that entries posted after that date won’t be accepted anymore. Winners will be posted on 8/23/08. It’ll be the very first thing that I will do when I get back, I promise

What to Look forward to on WPTD when I get back

Other than the opportunity of hosting a contest sponsored by Market Leverage, I actually joined their program because I want to take this chance to finally learn and explore the world of Affiliate Marketing. I will open a new blog (subdomain) here on WPTD, documenting each and every step that I will take on this new and exciting journey being an Affiliate Marketer. I’ll also continue on the Make Money Online Series I have been doing and *drumroll* I will be releasing new (free) WordPress Themes you’ll definitely love!!

So do not ever unsubscribe from WPTD, why?? (really, you’re even thinking of unsubscribing??)

Reason1: It’s just few days of no fresh content
Reason2: I’ll be back on SATURDAY!!
Reason3: I’ll share pictures from my trip (you like that? hehe!)
Reason4: I will be running a new contest before the month ends (it’s a B-I-G one)
Reason5: I will be releasing New (Free) WordPress Themes
Reason6: There will be new and exciting sections here in WPTD
Reason7: If you unsubscribe, it’ll make me sad

Take care of WPTD for me, will ya? See ya!!

When I started making money online it wasn’t from blogging at all but rather from Freelancing. You see, blogging takes time and it might take a while before you can start profiting from your site. If you do take the freelancing route, it pays the bills right away.

There are lots of jobs available online for you to take on a per project basis. You only have to look at the right places. Here are my recommendations:

Online Forums

DigitalPoint – Specifically go to the Buy, Sell & Trade Section. You can write articles, design templates, create websites, post to forums, sell links.. and a lot more! On the dp forum, members rely heavily on iTrader ratings (positive and negative feedbacks) therefore, you must make sure that you provide what you promised to deliver or else you get a negative feedback and no one will bother hiring you.

SitePoint & TalkFreelance – Usually the kind of projects you get from these forum will give you a higher rate. Projects aren’t as abundant compared to DP but usually they fall into the bigger project scope.

Recommended Freelance Sites

Rentacoder.com – This freelance site caters primarily to the technical side such as programmers, coders, software engineers and IT professionals in general. Some projects could even last for several months.

Guru.com – This is a very large site with a million of registered users. Businesses who are looking to outsource their work to a global audience with minimal costs rely on this site. Opportunities are categorized on the Main Page of the site so it’s quite easy to look for projects you can take on.

Elance.com – Elance is another site you should definitely check out especially when you want to provide content services. Usually, the projects offered here are for writing articles, ghostwriting and copywriters.

Those sites I have listed above are enough to keep you busy and earn you a steady income. I’d like to share a few tips though from my personal experience:

1. Launch a site where you can showcase your Portfolio
- Ask permission from your clients, first.
2. Take Care of your Reputation
- Recommendation and Feedback Ratings matter
3. Overdeliver if Possible
- You easily get repeat clients this way
4. Do not give your work unless Clients Pay,
50/50 method usually works, they pay you 50% of your total payment, you give them the projects you have worked on. They pay the remaining 50%.
5. Be Honest and Reliable
