It has been a very long time walking in the path of making money online. When I got to know about internet marketing, I was still studying year one in polytechnic. Thinking back few years ago, I do not know anything about internet marketing or making money online. However, I did thought of finding ways to gain financial freedom.

Few years had passed and I am still learning internet marketing. Till today, I still have not made any big money yet but I do make little small money along the way. Sometimes I will still ask myself this question, “is it possible to be financially free by making money online, doing online business?”

Of course my answer is yes, always, because I believe. By that believe, I still hanging on to internet marketing. Keep learning and apply what I have learned. Unlike one of my friend, he was the one who brought me into internet marketing, did not continue the online journey. To be honest, he did not really do much on marketing. He said to me that he could not rely on internet marketing to make more money online and so he quits.

Honestly, I also did not do much on marketing, however, I still write articles, submit to article directories, write reviews to make money, and making few cents to dollars from adsense. Indeed, I am still making money and I quite happy for what I have done.

Random thoughts end for today. One small tip when blogging, do not just blog about related topics every time. Blog about something different like what I did today.

These few days I have been doing a mock up for my wordpress theme, Archampremium. I am going to revamp some part of my wordpress and it will look more nicer than it is now. Frankly speaking, I always tend to tweak my wordpress as I want it to be perfect and be unique, and different from other people. I do not like a shabby looking wordpress theme.

Here is one part of the mock up that I have done.

I always like blue colour so I still maintaining the blue colour as my unique wordpress theme colour. The idea of this mock up design come from Mashable.com as in the retweet, facebook and buzz buttons. I also came out something similar in term of those buttons, a comments speech bubble. I want to show people that how many people have commented on the particular post.

This is only a phase one of the revamp mock up design. Hopefully I will able to finish up the mock up, implement it and revamp the entire wordpress. I am sure that this coming new look will freshen up this wordpress blog. I will also be adding date to show when my posts are posted. Reason of showing the post posted date is that currently I am participating in a blogging challenge and this challenge is so important to me that I cannot afford to miss it.

Alright then, I go back to continue on the mock up. Do come back to see the new look.

Nowadays, many people who want to make money online, the first thing they would do is to drive traffic by using the simplest method which is article marketing. The main problem is that when they want to use article marketing to drive traffic, they do not know what and how to get started to write an article. There are reasons behind it.

1) They do too much research on how to write a keyword targeted article. When people are too focusing on finding the best keyword, they tend to neglect what they have to do.

2) They do not know what to write. Most people started out the first time, they tend to keep thinking what topics or what the best topics that they should write.

3) They have too many niches in mind and thus they cannot decide which to choose to write article about it.

I have found myself a way that I can easily write article. This method is so easy and I believe that everyone can do it. The first things, when started out to write article, is do not bother too much about keyword research and optimizing your article. Secondly, just do it. Do not think too much. If you have something in mind, quickly write it down and do not waste time.

After sometimes, you will find that you start to get traffic from article directories. When you have reach that point, you may want to consider start writing keyword targeted and optimize article.

Finally I am back to blogging again. I have been working all day long. It is hard to squeeze some of my time to blog.

Now, let me account for April hits report. Well, I did not do much these days and so the only earnings I have made is adsense.

Here is what I got for April.

Estimated Google Adsense: US$1.80

Overall Estimated Google Adsense: US$51.76

It is still not bad that every month I am still able to make money from adsense. I am pretty happy.

Recently some of my friends asked me about what I am doing online and what that eBook is about. So I told them that I am working on internet marketing and making money online. This is the path which I believe I can be richer than what I am now. As for the eBook, which you can see it above, I am still writing and typing into word document.

The eBook is about how to get traffic to you. I am sure you do know how to get traffic by doing research. What I am doing is to gather most of the info and put them into an eBook. I will also include some of my own thinking and ways to get traffic. I will try to get the eBook done by this week. Latest may be next week.

Do stay tune and look out for my eBook. I will be launching anytime.
