Is Blogging a Job?

 

Blogging has become new thing, and many people wonder if blogging can be consider the job. I say yes.

1. Using Skills

When you are a blogger, you are using a skill, so it is resume worthy. With that being said, you  have to write, promote, and monetize your content.

2. Self-employment

Blogging happens to fall under being self-employed, and self-employment is considered a job. It is safe to say, that most people do not consider blogging as nothing more then a hobby, but bloggers are self-employed.

3. Time & Money

If something takes time out of your day with the possibility to earn money is a job. Some bloggers put in 40 hours a week. If you do not blog 40 hours a week, it can still be used on your resume.

Blogging is a popular way to earn money, some people pay for webhosting sites, but there are ways to start your blog for free with a free webhosting.

Free Webhosting Sites

Blogger

Blogger is one of the most popular free webhosting sites in the world. The biggest perk about Blogger is their parent company, Google. With that being said, your login information for your other google accounts can be used for Blogger. In addition, you can use many other Google's features on your Blogger blog. First, it will be easier to put ads on your blog and easier to use Google Webmasters. Last but not least, users can easily add Blogger's features to their website. Users can purchase their own domain for $12.

WordPress

WordPress is another popular webhosting site in the world. The webhosting site has a free option, but also have upgraded packages that come with a fee. Another benefit of Wordpress is plugins. Bloggers can download plugins and avoid putting javascripts on their sites manually.

Wix

Wix is not as popular as WordPress and Blogger, but it is has a huge number of users. In addition to creating a regular blog, users can create an online store with Wix. According to Wix's, you do not need any tech skills, you can create your site on your own with their drag and drop feature. Wix aslo offers premium packages.

Weebly

Last but not least, Weebly, is another free option for you. Weebly is a good idea for people wanting to add a shopping cart on their blog. Users can also upgrade to a package plan as well.

 

In closing, I am living proof that you can start a blog with $0. In addition, bloggers can get free images from Pixabay. I hope you find a free webhosting site that fit your needs.

 

I do not blog on all the sites mentioned above. It is best to do further research.

Multiple Earning Sites is Important

Photo Credit Pixabay

If you dabble with earning sites, you know the importance of having multiple sources of income. For those of you that do not, it is important to have multiple sources of income.

1. Better Safe than Sorry
This mantra is probably the best phrase anyone can apply to earning sites. It is better to have something on standby if one earning closes down. Members are kick to the curb, and are left to find another earning site.

2. Just do It
If your earning site is going strong, you should still have multiple sources of income. Why not? After all, it is the internet.

3. Earnings Could Change
Many freelancers face this; earning sites change the payment system. If you have a few more earning site on standy by, you may be safe, and save yourself a headache.

4. You could get Scammed
If you earn online, there is a change, you may get scammed. If you participate in a few earning sites, you can fallback on the other sites.

In closing, it is safe to have multiple souces of income. Why not, increase your earning potential.

With CPM advertisement, bloggers are paid after they have received a certain number of pageview. In most cases, it is 1,000 pageviews.

Tax Form

Before, Google Adsense pay you, you will have to do a W-9 tax from. Furthermore, the blog monetization service is required to keep 28% of earnings for tax purposes.

Pay

Google Adsense only pays via check and bank transfer. Payments can are sent to publishers once they earn $100.

Both, Mylot and Chatabout are sites where members are paid to chat. Each site has their similiarities and differences. Below, you will find a list of similarities and differences of the two paid to chat sites.

Similarities

Getting Paid to Chat
This is the obvious similarities. User's will not get rich off their earning from either site, but why not earn some money for things you do for free on Facebook.

PayPal Redemption

Both sites only allow PayPal redemptions. If you are not fond of PayPal, you will not be able to cash out on either site.

Other Earning Opportunities

If you want to make some extra money on both sites, you have the option to do so. Chatabout has the Bonus page and Mylot has the Offers page.

Creating a Topic

If you want to post a disscussion, question, news article, or post, you can do it on both sites.

Differecenes

Location

Mylot differs from Chatabout because the site shares users location. The good things is you will know where the person you are chatting with are from. On the other hand, you might not want your location exposed. Last but not least, both sites accept users outside the United States.

Earnings

Chatabout pays their users in points that can be redeemed for cash and prizes. Mylot has a point system but also give users a dolllar amount that is updated every hour. On Mylot, it seems like longer comments are rewarded with a higher monetary amount.

Navigation

It is safe to say that Chatabout is easier to navigate. The site has several different sections for users to comment in at the top of the page. These sections can be accessed for every page on the website. Mylot users have to click the explore button to get to the newer topics.

Payout Thershold

This maybe the biggest disadvantage for Mylot, Chatabout, has a lower payout threshold. To request a payment from Chatabout, you will need 10000 points ($5); Mylot users can cashout at $10.

GPT sites are popular online earning sites that I consider the one stop shop for earning money online. The main drawback about gpt sites is the earning potential, is gpt sites slow earners. To answer your question, it would be a yes.

Why are GPT Sites Slow Earners?

Low Pay in General
GPT sites are low earners because they offer low pay in general. The different task do not pay a lot. With that being said, you should not expect to earn a lot of money from these type of sites.

Points
Many gpt sites pay members in points that can be converted to cash payments and prizes. Most sites have a low conversion rate.

It Has to be That Way
This is so, because these sites have several thousand members. If these sites were to pay a large amount money per task, they would not be in business long.
In closing, gpt or get paid to sites are good paying hobbies. Check them out for yourself.

This is the most important perk about joining a paid survey site, getting paid. Some paid survey sites, pay really well.

Cons

Before you can take the acutal survey, you have to pass the qualification survey to see if you qualify. This can be a nightmare for some, you might not always pass the qualification survey.

Time Consuming
Some surveys can be boring. You might be sitting at your computer and getting bored with the questions you are answering.

In closing, I suggest trying survey sites for yourself. Experience is the only way you can determine this.

What I like about Shorte.st

I joined Shorte.st last fall. Since joining the link shortener, I have had okay progress, however, it is the best link shortener I have used. Below is my opinion of Shorte.st.

What I like about Shorte.st

There are several things I like about Shorte.st For starters, Shorte.st offers multiple ways to earn, using their scripts and other features. I like the following features about Shorte.st: it works on Blogger, they pay via PayPal, and it has many features.

It Works on Blogger

I have tried two link shorteners before Shorte.st, adf.ly and Linkbucks. Adf.ly scripts never worked, and Linkbucks scripts worked for a few months but stopped working. I was relieved when I the Shorte.st scripts worked on my blog.

PayPal

If you earn money online, you are aware that PayPal is the most used payment processor, and Shorte.st uses PayPal to process payments. I already had a PayPal account, which I happen to love.

Many features

I really like the features at Shorte.st. I like that you can add the features into one script and not have one option. For example, users can create one script that includes entries, exits, and clicking on the links within the blog. I also like that bloggers can use quick link. Quick link, allows users to put http://sh.st/s in front of links; here is an example, http://sh.st/s/http://makingextradollars.blogspot.com/2015/11/write-for-article-document.html

 

In closing, I highly recommend using Shorte.st. In addition to the things listed above, members are given access to a colored system that distinguish the amount they made for each category (entry, exit, and clicking on links).
