And thank you to these other people who posted their comments on Raven Knives, I love You!

And to those who posted their comments here. Though you miss the important rule, I still appreciate your participation.

Hop Hop Hop! Oh yeah, you keep clicking on each link to visit your fellow bloggers and beloved friends. But did you know that there is a more enjoyable way to click and be clicked? Sounds funny and interesting! This is not so new, actually most of the people on my blogroll are entrecard users. Thanks for dropping EC!

"What is Entrecard?

It's a free blogging network that helps you build traffic, get more readers, and network with other bloggers. You put a 125×125 widget on your blog and you can earn "EC credits" when members visit your blog. You can use the “credits” to purchase advertising on other blogs in our network.

Source: entrecard.com

As a member, you earn EC or entrecard credits by "dropping" EC or what you already knew as BLOG VISIT or BLOG HOPPING. Simple, log on to your Entrecard Account and keep visiting other member's blog and click on DROP on the bottom of their 125×125 widget. You also earn by accepting ads that are in turn displayed on your blog. The more ads on queue, the higher your widget price, therefore the higher your earnings!

Eversince I joined Entrecard, more visitors have been directed to my sites. More people post messages on my shoutmix and comment on my blog posts. The entrecard market also offers a lot of EC-paying tasks that you may wanna try.

CreditBurner - Another Earning Site!

I came across this site through MyLot discussion board. Someone there actually gave me four sites as Adsense alternative. Note; I just need those who pay through Paypal. So let me name those four:
1)profitburner($2 payout)
2)creditburner($2.50 payout)
3)money4banners.co.uk
4)matched.co.uk

I checked each of them and it's Credit Burner that appeals to me most. I will check the remaining three next time. As for matched.co.uk, the page can't be displayed when I checked it last time. I am not yet sure if it's my browser or their server having technical issues. The same thing with profitburner. Even the referral link from my friends are not working.

Money4banners offers fixed amount per month which is £10.00 provided that you display their 468 x 60 pixel banner. I think I am not yet ready for this because I am about to do a blog makeover and right now, their banner is not suited to the current layout. But hey, £10.00 is almost $15 so I wanna try this one, too!

Credit Burner pays every 15th and 30th of the month if you reach their minimum payout. There is actually a $0.35 signup bonus so you better join now.

Here are the revenue prices:

Banner ads up to $0.90 cpm
Banner ads plus up to $1.00 cpm
TinyAds up to $0.50 cpm

I am currently using Banner Ads Plus and I will just modify the code once I'm done with the blog makeover!

Jobstreet Announcement

Be a Jobstreet Member for more job openings update!

I am a member of jobstreet.com since January 2004 and I trust this site this much. From then on, Lina has been my best friend. Way back 2006, I've been applying online and occasionally receiving text notifications about interviews and exams. Being a part of this site gives me unlimited access to plenty of jobs online and I am so happy about it.

Lina@jobstreet.com sends me job matches everyday. Actually, you can configure your own settings if you want it to be weekly or every other day. You can setup your account profile once you login. You will be asked to select your current location. After you have logged in, you can update your resume, check job application, create new criteria for matches; edit subscription information and the like. You can also attach a copy of your resume to make it easier for you. Plus, you can upload a photo for your resume. I have done all of this and every step is easy to do. I find my self being more organized because this site is helping me especially when it comes to making professional resume. This is not like any recruitment company. This one gave me result. As in, I am talking to real people here and attended several interviews which has been scheduled online.

To login here, all I have to do is enter my email address and password. I find it user-friendly because my email address is much easier to remember unlike other made up usernames. I also enjoy the feature of using email to directly sign in here – very hassle free. A lot of Asian people are signing up for jobstreet, too. I believe that what makes this company successful is their goal of providing better jobs to its people.

Jobstreet is an updated site and here in the Philippines , they just launched new jobs in CALABARZON.

That would be the best time of the year for job hunting. For sure, you will be able to find a job under your field of expertise. I am glad that a site like this exists helping the people to find better jobs. And best of all, it is for free. The site is really reliable and useful.

If you don’t like to browse for advertisement or online jobs, this site can give you extra help. I have been a satisfied member and up to now, I like the fact that they are still sending me updates. Even though I am currently employed, I check my account here for possible opportunities abroad.

It's been a month since I last posted my blog traffic information from Alexa. So today, I checked it out again and here's what I found:


Let us compare it to my previous details:



From 1 670 409 to 312 525 traffic rank! Yay. I just wish I can earn more from this tremendous traffic now that I am no longer earning from adsense.

Who doesn't want to get cosmotized?! Not me. Okay, this is really a late post of mine since I bought my own copy last August 3. Well, purchasing my August copy is like a Faerie Quest for me. Haha. Why not, I am raiding all the magazine stands and book shops as early as July 31 to no success. Come August 1 I continued the search and on August 3 it was finally over. Got this copy from Filbars at Robinson Galleria. The possible reasons of late issue release just dawned to me after checking my phone calendar. Yeah, yeah, August 1 and 2 are weekends so stores and publishers would rather have it officially released on the first Monday of this month. Just a thought. It doesn't matter that much to me anyway.

So, what are the good deals with this month's issue?
Oops, I mean who's HOT this season... None other than - the sexiest stars!
Yup, Cristine Reyes!



And what's cool?
Aside from the monthly freebies, August issue allows you to take advantage of the 1-day free pass to Fitness First. Come on, it's about time to visit the gym. :)


Wow, look how much you've got and how much you've saved by just buying this P125 magazine! It's really worth it.

Cliche: Age doesn't matter.
Agree or not? I agree, it is not the age that counts, it's the maturity or one's attitude. You can be 69 and still young - alive and kicking! Celebrating birthdays should not be associated with the notion of getting old. We're not dogs and the saying "You can not teach an old dog a new trick" is not applicable to us. We're human, we keep growing and learning. Just think it this way, birthdays are there to mark the date of new beginnings. Growing old is inevitable, but growing up is an option. Haha. Come on, grow a spine! Birthdays are meant to be celebrated with acceptance and all smiles. So I would like to greet Cathara Advance Happy Birthday. She will be turning 25 this October 13! Yay. Let's greet her in unison: ♪♪♪ Happy Birthday! ♪♪♪

How about you? What are your opinions?

And to encourage you more to share your opinion, she's giving any blogger that joins a chance to win $25 via paypal!:D

More details here!

I am 24 and will turn 25 on the 23rd of January 2010. How's that? Advance greetings will be appreciated. Cash advance are welcome, too! LOL.

Here are the popular techniques:
1. Peso Cost Averaging
- a gradual buy and hold strategy
- Make steady and fixed peso investments through time on good companies

2. Market Timing
- trading through technical analysis
- Time market swings to provide short entry and exit strategies

What is Peso Cost Averaging?
Peso Cost Averaging is a personal wealth-building strategy that involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals over a long period.

Buying stocks over time reduces volatility risk in the market.

All you have to do is invest what you can at your own pace.

Market Timing through Technical Analysis
Technical Analysis is the study of market action ( or market price) by reviewing price charts for the purpose of forecasting future price trends.

Just watch and follow market direction.

Technique: Buy into UP Trends; Sell into Down Trends thereby limiting risk.

Now, are you ready to get started with the Online Trading?

Why invest? Simply because it can help us beat inflation. Inflation pulls our purchasing power so we have to do something about it. Can interest rates work?

Let's check it out!

Savings
- the gradual acquisition and safekeeping of wealth
- Reward: LOW
- Risk: Very LOW

Investments
- Provides the avenue for wealth to grow more meaningfully
- Rewards: HIGH
- Risk: Low to Very High

Interest rates work if you start investing in the stock market and KNOW HOW TO PICK GOOD STOCKS.

1. Know Prices
a. Actual Value
- the real value to which a stock can be said to be worth, it is commonly stated as fair value or target price
- studied through fundamental analysis

b. Market Value
- that value determined by market forces (demand and supply) and is conmmonly known as market price
- reviewed through Technical analysis

2. Know some Fundamentals

Fundamental Analysis
- a technique that attempts to determine a security's value by focusing on underlying factors that affect a company's actual business and its future prospects.

"We buy quality stocks today for what we believe it will be worth TOMORROW"

Remember: What you don't know you don't touch!

3. Do a Top Down Review
Ask these questions
- Is the economy growing?
- What industry seems attractive?
- What are the best stocks in the industry?

4. Know a Company's Prospects
(Company Analysis)
Look for companies that show:
*The ability to grow earnings = look for strong or increasing profitability
Watch earnings per share (EPS= income/ number of shares)

*Good or Cheap Valuations = look for good stocks whose Market Value is notably lower or discounted to its Actual Value

*Good Story = look for new buzz, solud products/services or catalysts for growth

5. Choose the Best
Compare and contrast.

Can you really build wealth through stock market investment? Now, look who's talking. Okay, I just attended a CitisecOnline Seminar about Stock Market Investment.

Mr. Juan G. Barredo, VP CitisecOnline.com Inc. is a very good speaker. He scored excellent based on my own evaluation. He was able to present all the ideas clearly and I learned a lot from the 4-hour seminar. Here is the outline of our discussion:

* Wealth Building through Stock Market Investment

*How to Pick Good Stocks
- Fundamental Analysis

*Methods of Investing
- Peso Cost Averaging
- Technical Analysis

*Getting Started with Online Trading

Before I go into deeper details, let me share you the company background:
- Established in 1989, CitisecOnline (COL) is the leading innovator in online stock trading in the Philippines
- Management Team is composed of professionals in the financial and IT industries
- Driven by our core competency in research, investor education and technology
- Capitalized at over half a Billion Pesos and a Member or PSE and HKE
- COL publicly listed in the PSE in ‘06

More details can be found on their website.

For a start, let us define stock market.

The stock market is the place where you can invest in other people’s publicly listed companies. A company sells shares of stock through an Initial Public Offering to raise capital to grow their business. And you invest into a company to participate in its growth through price appreciation and dividends.

What are they?

Capital Appreciation – the ability for a stock’s price to increase in value as driven by business prospects

Dividends – company returns wealth back to shareholders (distributes some profits either through cash or added shares)

I will share the types of dividend and other details about it on my next posts. If you are interested to attend the FREE seminar, please refer to the schedule below:

It took me so long to sign up at adgitize much more to post this blog entry. Why? What makes me hesitant of signing up for free and directing more traffic to my blog? Simply because I am too afraid to violate any TOS of my advertisers, primarily Google Adsense.

After doing thorough research and randomized "interview" through shoutmix, I found out that there's no conflict between Adgitize and Adsense. (And you may also include Entrecard). Elai answered most of my questions including the basic ones. She's been using Adgitize and Adsense for almost 2 years without conflict on payment and PR. So there, I give it a try.

To be a part of Adgitize Network, you have to sign up first and install the adgitize widget on your blog. You can then enjoy the publisher's benefits!

Bloggers - 7 Reasons You Should Adgitize Your Blog

* Advertisers Can Reach Thousands of Potential Visitors Daily
* Advertisers Pay One Low Monthly Fee
* Affiliate Network Helps You Earn On-Going Income
* Publisher Network Produces a Monthly Cash Revenue Stream
* Bloggers Like You Increase Their Daily Traffic
* Advertisers Get Cash Rebates
* Spend Your Time Blogging and Let Adgitize Send You Traffic

After signing up, click on GET CODE and copy/paste it on your blog template. Easy!

TIPS and TRICKS:
1. Make sure to add the RSS feed of your blog.
For blogspot, here's the syntax: http://*insertnamehere*.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
So mine would be: http://liezl-read-write.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
This gives you automatic 100 points per day for every new blog post.

2. Make sure to update your profile with your PAYPAL email address to receive payment.

3. Make sure to click at least 5 ads in the Adgitize Network to keep earning points. As a publisher the maximum you can earn is 100 click points.

For two days of trying to figure out how adgitize works, I then learned how to navigate their control panel. And guess what, there's a sudden increase on the number of my unique visitors. Check the graphical presentation below: (courtesy of TopBlogs.Ph)

Adgitize with Me!!!

Warning: R-18!

Haha. Got this one from my officemate. There's really nothing to be afraid of. For every bite of banana, you will feel relaxation.


Enough of that funny image. Read on to know the health benefits of banana.

As for my stock knowledge, all I know is that BANANAS are as good as SLEEPING PILLS. I will not even recommend you to eat banana servings if you want to stay up longer.
Bananas are rich in magnesium that induces relaxation until we fall asleep.

Now, let me do some research:

• According to an old wives' tale, the inside of a banana peel makes a great shoe polish for patent leather shoes. (We haven't tested this, so you're on your own.)
• The earliest dessert recipe ever written was a banana recipe--a mushy mixture of bananas, almonds, and honey.

• If your kids have a tough time falling asleep, give them a banana. Like a cup of warm milk, a banana is a sleep enhancer.

• The average American eats 26 pounds of bananas per year, making it our most consumed fruit.

• There are more than 200 varieties of bananas in the world: they come in all shapes and sizes, from small finger fruits to purple plantains.

• The biggest banana split ever made was 4.55 miles long!
