The numbers on your right,as provided by America’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, are quite staggering to say the least, as you can see here. However, there are something which requires further clarification.

Are these people making a living out of blogging full time? Or are they just making up the numbers who are just making few bucks through blogging?

As for me, no I don’t make a full time living out of blogging but yes… I do earn some money from blogging. What about you?

Today.com is both a blog network and blog directory of user generated contents. You sign up with them and created a blog where your blog will be created under a subdomain of Today.com. Yes… you will own the (sub)domain name and you can write about anything.

Once you setup the blog, you will earn USD1 per day for posting relevant articles in your blog. USD1 perday is guaranteed for one posting a day but if you blog more in a day, you will only be paid USD1. So your maximum earning is capped at USD30 per month. So you wont get rich blogging for Today.com but if you setup two blogs of different topics, you could make USD60 per month… but that will also not make you rich.

But having somewhere to start earning online is a great idea and Today.com maybe just the platform you would want to start off to test your writing skill and get paid for it. It will also be the platform where you could start ’selling’ your writing credential. Who knows this could be a good start for you and open up more online opportunity for you in the future.

If you are not into blogging for money, Today.com is still good place to read on many different topics created by their bloggers.

Good luck.

This cool looking personal wind tunnel could well be the gadget every household would have in the future. The wind tunnel is the work of a well known designer Philippe Starck, who had come out of retirement just to design this potentially cost saving device for all human kinds.

The designer claimed this simple-looking UDSD $633 gadget is able to crank out 20-60% of the power needed in a house… now go figure out which appliances in your house that can be powered by this small turbine.

Available in either stainless steel, signal orange or crazy transparent style, the new electricity generators will be shipping to everyone in September. I hope it wont take long for the energy generator to arrive in Malaysia.

The whole idea is to provide quality backlinks to the advertisers websites from the publishers blogs. The blog owners will be paid monthly via PayPal. It doesn’t say (at least I can’t find it) though how much is the split between the publishers and BlogRolled.

It is so simple to join so go check it out and perhaps give it a try… who knows this might add few dollars to your PayPal account.

I am referring to Google alerts.

To get latest news on certain topic, simply enter the topic in the Search terms column, select the Type of news you want (Comprehensive will deliver news from variety of sources such as news, blogs, vide, web etc), choose How often you want to be alerted, specify Your email address and click Create Alert and voila…. the alert is created. All you have to do now is to check your email and click the URL link in the mail to confirm the alert that you had just created.

As bloggers, this tool is very useful for you to keep track on what are being written and discussed about certain topics that interest you so that you can respond immediately or write your own thought about the topic in your own blog.

Happy blogging…

Another method of making money in the internet is to create a niche site. Niche site by nature is a very small website but the contents are highy specialized, only related to the niche of the site. While Wordpress is traditionally used for creating highly interactive and frequently updated blogs and websites, it can also be used to create highly static niche sites that requires minimal updates. That is the beauty of Wordpress.

I just came across Caroline Middlebrook’s free e-book on how to build such niche sites using the Wordpress Content Management SYstem (CMS). If you are into niche sites building, I highly recommend this free e-book which was based on Caroline’s real-life experience of building niche sites. If you are not yet into niche sites, her e-book will give you a good introduction and lead you to start building your first niche site effortlessly, using Wordpress of course. And again, it’s FREE.

Thanks Caroline for for sharing with us your valuable experience and made it available to all of us as free e-book. Have a nice day!!
