Finally landed a writing job!

After several days of applying for an online job, I finally had one! I was surfing the girltalk forum and someone posted a part time article writing work. After reading it, I emailed the thread starter since she had an email on her ad. After a while she said that she'll going to test my skills first and gave me a topic. I worked for it until noon but didn't submit because I am not yet satisfied with my work. I actually applied the writing technique I have done in the test article of my "super internet training" with sage and squid that they graded "quite okay". So there, I went to buzzle.com (the one website that sage and squid told me about) and read some posts about the test topic. I'm a little bit keen now about those writing styles which I got from reading from buzzle and qualitygal. Quality Gal, was another writing website which emailed me a few days ago and asked if I could do a test article too. So there, the next day, after re-reading, checking for errors, proof reading, etc for my test article about organic cosmetics, I submitted it finally. After a few hours, she emailed me back and said "Congratulations, you're hired!" I am happy but there's a part of me that I still doubt the employer and I have no way to search for her in the internet, just the seofocused site that she put under her name on the terms and conditions she sent me. Then I was expecting a topic that I will do, fortunately she sent me many hahaha! I don't know what to do about it and how will I finish it till the next day which is August 31 by 10pm. I'll have to write about coffee, 14 articles , 400 words each. After seeing the $18 I agreed hahaha. Dang! Seeing the $$$ mark, I got so hyper and think about how will my story will go. So I researched wikipedia, google, etc every info I can find. Since I am not good with words what I do is just write it on my own, on how I understand it. Shh, I even copied some sentences since I am lacking with words! But then it goes well and hope will never end

application for writing gig

Months ago, we spent 2,500php for my enrollment on article writing training and they sent me some modules. Modules that looks like a copy-pasted slash forwarded messages on my email that you can usually find in internet search engines. They sent me 8 files and only two of it has relevant information that I need. Then they ask me to do two 500 words articles right away giving me the topic and how many times the keyword will be used on the whole article without explaining what is the use of the keywords and other information. They said they want me to be familiar with time pressured works and knowing about the keyword thing, I comply. But what if I am really a newbie and doesn't have any idea about it?

I passed the two articles within 3.5 hours disregarding the quality so in the end they said that its all useless and lots of grammar mistakes. I got pissed off and told them that is why I enrolled in the training for my grammar to be corrected. I even told them that I have some important things to do the next day so I won't be able to pass the articles again but they insist that I pass them the next day. What I do is I ignored them and when my mood strike back after a week or two I think, that's the time that I redo the articles and passed it. They said its quite okay and they will let me have clients but I have to practice more. They will give me the other modules and give the site where I can get clients IF I will pay the balance of 2,500php (training costs 5k).

I've met two people in the forum that said that I don't have to pay for article training. My previous employer even laugh at me about the thing. She said that she didn't know that there's a thing like that. I feel like I've been fooled because there's no assurance that you'll get clients after the training. What if the site is like odesk, elance or freelancer.com that I already know of? That you have to bid and apply for you to get a job. I know it takes a lot of hardwork in applying a new job but seeing my situation on that training and the modules that they sent me its like a waste of time.

Sorry if I have to rant here, its my site anyway =P. I told my trainer (Kim) and even the one my mother in law know of (Ms. Jojie) that I will find a way first to have the money to pay the balance when actually what I am doing now is applying for possible ways to earn online. I know I can't write well because I can't really express and write the words well on my own but with so much reading and practice, I am sure I'll hit the mark soon. Even though my brain became rusty for years, I applied as a writer in a site referred by a friend. I'll try the transcription job too and hope to take the test and hope I pass it. Even if I could only earn $10 a week for a start, I'll be happy with it.

Investing to Paid-to-click: an experience

A few weeks ago, I got addicted to PTC's that in everything I do I always think about the possible earnings that I could have. I then ask my sister, if she could lend me money and she said yes so I bought an Alertpay fund worth $25. I invested at IB but still keep clicking on other PTC's like BTB and B4C, etc. I decided to go for verified membership with $3.5 fee and purchase 25 rented referrals good for a month, that was $10.75 . I was so happy that my rented referrals clicked the next day but their clicks are not constant, so I wasn't able to earn the target earnings I should have. I decided to rent again after a week another 25 rented referrals. After a week, there are inactive referrals that I need to recycle and it costs me much. I should've go for PAID membership which is $25 but I will lost all my investment because of a 1 year membership, I won't be able to rent rented referrals to earn. With other problems occurring on the website, my upline adviced us that we shouldn't invest now so I didn't renewed my rented referrals for another month or so. I withdrawed atleast $10 of the earnings I've got on my maintaining balance. I've decided that whatever earnings I will made until the end of the month, I will transfer it to my rental balance to rent or renew referrals. I'll be keeping active referrals that atleast reach the required average and renew them for atleast 90 days or so. Hope my strategy works.

Clicking my way to earn

I registered at incrasebux last march 2011 unfortunately I didn't get serious about Paid to clicks and just registered for a standard account. Now other members of the Girltalk forum are earning more than $100 now, take note of that. Hopefully, I'll earn soon too. I have 2 rented referrals who are not clicking now for 3 consecutive days that is why I'm feeling down. I've recruited someone too, a friend from my former work but she is so cautious that she has just signed up now and didn't clicked after she signed up :( so sad. I should find other way to recruit more since I can't rent referrals now for my balance is just $0.5, good for 1 rented referral only. I am still hoping that I get to recruit and soon invest if I have money so that I could earn. I should think positive in every negative things that comes on my way!

here i am paid to click

Ok since almost online na ako these days eh probably gagawa na ako ng blogsite for my ptc (paid to click) like my upline does. dapat talaga maging updated ako sa trend, makakalimutin pa naman ako. The problem is I don't have funds on my Paypal account kaya di ako makapag upgrade sa anumang PTC na sinalihan ko at parang standard member na lang ako forever. My solution is my nakita na akong sulit member na nagbebenta ng Paypal fund at naiisip ko mag invest dun, another problem is walang pang invest. Ang naiisip ko lang is yung ibenta ang isa pang coop slot ko sa office para lang makabili ng Paypal fund. More of less nasa $30 din siguro yun. I received an advice at mukhang dun muna ako magko concentrate pero di ko pa din sure talaga if willing ako e give up yung slot na yun

Past hints on my future career

After my husband sold his itouch to someone else over sulit.com.ph, we were able to transfer here in Bataan atlast! My daughter is now enrolled in Bataan Christian School and I think she's happy with her classmates, uniform and hairclip! When it comes to her studies, I think she's doing ok at school though there are times that she doesn't want to study at home and that would be my biggest challange now that I don't have a job and have all the time in the world.
We've already applied for a DSL connection but we still have to wait for 2 weeks. After that I have to enroll in a training for article writing and hope I pass so I could get a job that I could do anywhere as long as I have a stable internet connection. Sigh, if only I worked on my English skills since high school in the province, article writing would be a piece of cake now. There are really things in life that we can't predict but God already gave us a hint in our early life, too bad I only realized it after 10 years hahaha!
I remembered writing in our school paper when I was in 3rd or fourth year, it was a poem and a sports article. After being caesarian operated, I think I lost a lot of good memories in the past. I can't remember that poem I actually made, one thing I remember was working until 6:30 PM in the library and seen my work being edited by the school paper editor. After a few years, my daughter was about 2 years old by then, I was able to write for someone. I write in the middle of the night until everyone in the house is awake. I was able to earn a few bucks even though my grammar issues sucks I was really able to write and of course being edited by my employer again hehehe
I believe that these are God's hints for me in the past years. I never though that you could actually earn a lot just by writing if you do it by heart. I believe that in God's help I will overcome my weaknesses and in God's will also, I'll be able to find a good job that will support our needs and makes us worry-free in terms of financial stability.

Japanese & Korean Dramas: My stress buster

Its been four days now and still I haven't received my last paycheck. I'm losing my mind now where to borrow money since I have lots of debts and bills to be paid before we head back to my husband province. My daughter has to undergo an exam on Monday on her future big school, unfortunately her tuition fee is insufficient. Its not my nor may husband's decision for her to study at a private school because if we were to choose we would like her to enroll on a public school first but my in-laws want her to learn there. We've got so much bills to be paid and here I am with no proper work and no moolah.

We will be leaving tomorrow, if we both have money for the fare and I don't know if I could borrow from my sister or my mother who is in the province and still striving just to eat or another lending from my brother in law. I am too shy to ask from my sister because I still has unpaid debt from her. I don't really know what to do. Luckily, we still have wi-fi at home shared with my sister and I was able to use the internet for 300 pesos a month.

So now I am currently following Lie to Me by Yoon Eun Hye and was planning to get a haircut same as her haha! Too bad the whole episode isn't finished yet so I've got to wait for a few weeks for it to be completed. I am still at episode 8 and dying, just joking! :) I am also watching Manny, its a korean drama about a Man nanny.  I'm still waiting for episode 13. Both these dramas is up to episode 16. Hopefully I will still be able to watch these good Korean drama when we get back to province this week.

For a Japanese drama, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (Hana Kimi) Japanese version is a must watch. Its not because I have a crush on Oguri Shun but because the characters are awesome especially Ikuta Toma.
