When I was browsing couple of days ago *like always ^^;;*, I found this interesting service. It’s a search engine service, but it’s not like the usual one. If you use this search engine, you’ll be rewarded GBP 0.01 for each of every search you made. Cool, eh :D? I’ve signed up with this service and I’ve made GBP 0.27 till now. It’s not much, but it’s fun ^^ Oh, here’s the tips, you can increase your earning by referring friends to use this service. I use firefox as my browser, installed the widget, and set it as my default search engine. So, if you want easy money, sign up here ^^

Online Handcrafted Product Shop June 13, 2008

Posted by jewel in Business, Hobby, Internet. comments closed

I’ve been thinking to open my own online shop. But there seems so much things that hold me back. First, I still can’t decide what products to be sold. And when I eventually found it, I need to know where can I get the supplier. Then there’s also shipping and payment method to be considered. And the most important thing, how will I promote my shop. All of these make me stop before I even start ^^;;

Besides selling manufactured products, I also dream about having handcrafted products + craft tools online shop. But to showcase my own creation only, I’m afraid buyer will have limited selection to choose from. I’m thinking about asking another crafters to sell their creations on my site. They still keep their product, but they sell it through my shop. The problem is, if a buyer buys 3 items from 3 different crafters, he/she will be charged 3x shipping fee T_T If I were the buyer, I will mind that problem :(

So, I come up with a solution. Crafters who want to sell their product through my shop will have to send their product to me. First, they will send me the photo of their product. The product will have to be approved by me before I agree to sell it on my shop. Crafters are to be advised to send their products in bulk to save on shipping fee. From then on, I will take charge of the rest. Maybe I’ll charge some percentage of the price to cover my cost ^^;;

Anybody interested? If I get many respondent, maybe I’ll go along with this plan ^^

Commenting and how to make use of it May 29, 2008

Posted by jewel in Blog, Internet, Money. 4 comments

One of my habit is to comment on anything, whether it’s person appearance, website, advertisement, and much more :D My mother used to remind me to stop if I start to comment on a person appearance ^^;; Gladly I’m over it now. But this unique skill of mine actually can be rewarded. Recently, I’m interested in a program which you can get paid to comment on something. No, I’m not kidding. It’s true. You could make money from it. How’s so? It’s easy. A blog is all you need. Just register yourself, submit your blog, and start commenting on something. I’m trying my luck at Bloggerwave now. If you interested, come over and try it yourself ;-)

Lambretta!!! April 29, 2008

Posted by jewel in Internet. add a comment

Lambretta!!! It’s an Indonesian slank expression to say something that’s really slooow. Yup, the internet connection at my office is having trouble since this morning. It’s getting better at 10 am, but now, it’s getting slow again T_T I wish I had unlimited yet cheap internet connection at home so I could browse till I drop ^^;; Right now I only have Telkomnet Instan to connect to the internet. The speed is slow, and it’s not cheap :P When will the Internet Service Provider in Indonesia have a price battle between them just like the battle in telephone call tarif between cellular operators? I need internet so badly X-( I think I’ve already addicted to it ^^;;

FYI, I read from a friend’s blog that a new cellular operator called Axis which offers free internet connection limited to 100MB per month, and it’s valid till 31 May 2008. Being a stingy internet connection hunter, I definitely have to try it ^^;; Last night I bought one Axis number. This morning, I activated it and must wait till the next 24 hours to get the GPRS activated. I hope I’ll get a faster internet connection this time. Wish me luck ^^

My blog is approved at PayPerPost :) April 14, 2008

PayPerPost A couple of friends have been talking about a good review program named PayPerPost. Since they know that I’ve been looking for this type of program, they refer this program to me. According to them, there are many opportunities for us to catch, and it’s quite easy for your blog to be approved since they updated their Term of Services. Now a blog with age 1 month old and 10 minimum posts can be easily approved. From my own experience, my blog got approved in just 1 day, lucky me :D Right now I am still exploring my dashboard, and learning what I can do with it. I tell you, there really are many opportunities for us to grab. I saw from the list of Top Earners, people could get as much as 20,000 dollars, and it’s not even the end of the month yet! And a friend of mine who introduce PayPerPost to me can easily get 3000 dollars a month. Man, this program is amazing. If I could earn that much, surely I will quit my current job and work full time as a reviewer :D I also will take a trip of my dream, which is traveling around Japan :D Oh my god….I can’t wait for this to happen :D Wish me luck guys!

Shoes Heaven Updated April 2, 2008

Posted by jewel in Blog, Internet. add a comment

Today I’m busy updating my niche blog which lists manually picked woman shoes from a various website. I uploaded new theme and updated the content. My main source right now is Amazon, but I definitely will find another source so my collection will be much better in variation. In determining which shoes that I put into my blog, I depend on my intuition and a little research on current trend in shoes industry. I will also add some articles related to shoes and foot health so the visitor will gain some useful knowledge. Hopefully, this blog will be a complete reference in finding great woman shoes :-)

Making Money from Internet March 18, 2008

Posted by jewel in Internet, Money. 1 comment so far

Since July 2007, I’ve started to make money from the internet. I’ve joined Google Adsense and Amazon Associate Program. I should have tried it since 2003, but the thought of internet scam made me ignore it. So, how’s the result? Not really good actually to make me quit from my real job ;-) After joining for about 8 months, I’ve only managed to get $126 from Google Adsense and $145 from Amazon Associate. If only I have internet connection at home, I think my result will be much better than that ;-)

Other thing that I want is selling stuffs on the internet. My plan is to sell handcrafted stuffs which is unique and can be customized. Of course, before the online store could be opened, I need to have somethings to sell :D Currently, I’ve made some crocheted dolls in the forms of cellphone key chain. My sister promised me to sell some of her felt dolls too. Hopefully this store will run at the end of March.

Have you got any other idea on how to make money from the internet? Please share :-)

Check your pagerank, socialmeter, and cool trick March 13, 2008

Posted by jewel in Internet, Misc, Tips. add a comment

Here’s a link I found out that you can use to check your pagerank. If you already installed Google Toolbar, you know you didn’t need this tool ;)
Check Pagerank

And for this one, this tool can check your socialmeter. Try it.
Check Socialmeter

This cool trick is kinda pointless, but it can amuse you for a while :D
Here’s how:
Copy & Paste this code below to your url bar. And you will see that all of the images in the previous page you open will start swirling around. Cool, eh?

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200;DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style;DIS.position=’absolute’; DIS.left=Math.sin (R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5;DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval(’A()’,5); void(0);
