It's been a busy day for me

Why am I so busy today? It's been a hard time for me to manage all of my clients in my freelance works. I realized than when I have lesser clients, the lesser I earn. I could have almost washed out of money because I didn't earn anything in my affiliate and CPA programs. My two clients were not enough for me because they only pay me below $100 monthly average, for a total of less than $200 monthly.

Last night, my mom wants to borrow about $110 dollars (P5,000) from me, because she didn't know that if she borrowed my money, I only have pennies left. This is why I'm going to add freelance clients once again, and I did. I have two new clients for today, and one is still pending. I have no more problem in managing them, because two of them are permanent and two of them are just short terms only.

It's been hard for me, but luckily my money was not yet drained. I think my mom has planned for me to lose everything and to destroy my life and opportunity. Hahaha! If she's reading this, I'm doomed and she would kick my ass. I don't know when, but right now I still have over $80 in my Paypal account and next week could be bigger, not more than $200. But there's one thing that I fear the most.

Going back to my previous post about a scumbag called IReel, I have a fear of being charged to my credit card for about $34.95 which was a bad move for me. They will upgrade me for a five-day trial but after ten minutes as a member of IReel, I delete my account without upgrading. But a huge mistake that I did input my credit card information to them. However, after five day trial, my account was not charged and when I check my transaction history on my credit card, there was no pending amount to be given until now. It means I'm safe for now.

If this will happen that my $80+ will be deducted from this scumbag, I will only receive about $50+ left in my card which IReel charge monthly. At least I'm confident for myself, but it's a very busy day for me now. If I stick to these clients, my average income would be up to $500 depending on my other freelance client's budget. It's time for me now to be positive, and I won't back down from any easy or experienced job offered in any freelance forums like Digitalpoint, V7N, etc.

My new blog is up and live!

After months of waiting to pay for my first ever domain, it has finally arrived. Now you can see that I have my real domain now, but not in this blog. Actually, with the help of my friend who setup my new WordPress blog for free, my blog is now up and live. Last night, I decided to purchase a domain through my Alertpay balance at XtraOrbit web hosting. The transaction was really fast and I immediately purchased it for just less than $11.00 I should have implemented to this blog, but it's not easy because it will take up to 24-72 hours. My friend suggested that if I use WordPress, it's much easier for him for my site to get live. So I decided to test it out and he encourage me to set my name servers to his own web hosting dedicated server. I listened to my friend after I purchased my own domain name, which is bogartkick.com, and my friend has all the things setup the web hosting control panel for me, and he will not charge me for this instead, he helped me as I helped him update his own blog.

It is what I owe to him, as I need myself to be active in updating his own blog. He also owed me that he helped me setup my own domain, blog and web hosting for me to earn more income in my blog. Paid domains are really effective and it has no need to be verified by Google, as it was always indexed by search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. This is the debut of my newest WordPress blog, and it's the first time that I have purchased a domain in my entire life. I did this just to increase my popularity to the search engines, and I hope bogartkick.com would be targeted by most visitors like John Chow, Jonathan Folk and Zac Johnson. Thank you so much and this is the start of my ultimate goal!

My blog's real domain finally decided

Last night, I have been thinking all along on how can I get a real domain for myself. We'll, I have decided that next week I will purchase my own domain on GoDaddy.com and I will make sure that it's more unique like no other. I don't know if the name of my domain would attract a lot of customers, but with the likes of John Chow, Jonathan Folk and Zac Johnson, they use their own name but the title tags are really getting attracted. This is the biggest decision I ever made in my whole blogging career. After one year of owning this amazing blog, I have to take it to the next level by purchasing my own domain. The potentials of purchasing my own domain and apply it on my blog is to increase the chances of popularity and web traffic to my own blog. So far, this blog only generates about 50 to 100+ page impressions daily and not earned much on my affiliate programs. We'll I have improved my blog well on this cool design I've found on a database with over thousands of cool Blogger templates. So this template that I have installed in my blog right now will be an attraction to customers and visitors along with the sponsored ads I used in my blog. I also attached some of the long term and popular ad networks and affiliate programs like NetPartner, Amazon Affiliates, Clickbank, Adbrite, Infolinks and soon Azoogle.

Bad thing that my Adsense account was disabled, but it's ok because there are lots of alternatives there. Now my blog is very cool and all I need is a real paid domain name to be attached in my blog. In this way, more and more exchangers and link buyers will come to my blog and pay for the blog posts, blog roll links, ad spaces, etc. Paid domain name is the missing link or the ace of my blog, and I'm sure that my decision is right. But there's a problem. I have an Alertpay account with a balance of $13.62, and I want to exchange it through Paypal. I checked on the forum of MakeMoneyKingdom which I remember that I do e-currency exchange last time for my Alertpay to LibertyReserve, which I'm a total fool to outsmart them in terms of rates, not on being a "scumbag" like EvoPay and E-Gold.

I'm still waiting for the reply of the one I inquired, and I hope he could be the answer. GoDaddy domains is worth $10.69 a year for .COM, and I need it to be professional for my own blog. As I already know the rules on how to attach or transfer my domain name to a Blogger site, I'm ready for it until the Alertpay funds are now being transfered for my Paypal. I can't wait for this. Once I have extra $15 on my Paypal, I can now purchase a domain at GoDaddy for one year. Woohoo! This is going to be exciting guys, and I'm going to jump on my bed once my domain is up!

Ahahaha!

Link exchange requests might be useful

Are you familiar with the term link exchange? It is where you exchange links with other webmasters or bloggers for potential increase of web traffic, backlinks and page rank. It is very useful for me because my blog is still not good enough, not in design, but through my affiliate marketing and traffic strategies that needs to be developed. As you can see, link exchanges are now very popular today which you can deal with other high traffic webmasters to exchange links with you on Digitalpoint forums. There are two types of link deals that you can make a transaction with. One is through link exchange, and one is link sales. If you compare the two, it's very easy but you may realize that link sales are profitable than you ever imagine. Link exchange can be done if your blog's PR, backlinks, Alexa and traffic are very low at this time, so that you may help others to build their backlinks, and they will help you too. However, if you are ready to face the world of selling links, blog posts, ad spaces, etc., then you're expected that your blog has high volume of traffic daily. Here are some of the things which buyers may rely on in terms of link sales:

1. High Alexa rank (at least 1,000,000)

2. High page rank (at least PR3)

3. High volume of backlinks (at least 1,000)

4. High unique visitors (at least 400 and above daily)

5. Google index (at least 1,000 pages)

6. Paid domain name (.COM, .ORG, .BIZ, etc.)

7. Professional design

Average of the buyers will buy blog roll links for a month between $5 to $20 per link, ad spaces between $5 to $20 or more, and blog posts from $10 to $20 per post. So far, link exchange is one of the first steps to make your blog increase its chances to gain high volume and it is a "WhiteHat" or "Angelic" type SEO. We'll, if you don't exchange.....then you can spend the rest of your life like a crap dude who is greedy and may not exchange gifts in Christmas! If we exchange one another which is valuable like guys exchanging girlfriends and kisses, or exchanging pizzas and softdrinks with "saliva" with your friends or families, it's like you are getting closer to them and your relationship will be long lasting, regardless of your "health".

We do the same on link exchange, if we do that we're helping each other to be successful. Everybody wants to be successful like the top affiliate marketers in the world. Most affiliate marketers like John Chow, Zac Johnson and Jonathan Folk are giving their free secrets to us, because it's not that they are complete idiots or to make our life a living "hell", but they feel that they deserved to help more people to save themselves from financial and personal problems. So they exchange their free reports to us, and in return, we exchange that we are successful like them in the near future.

Don't hesitate to sit like a dog chained on your doghouse who relies by itself all alone, we need to break that chain and expand our shares to everyone, by starting off with link exchanging to other webmasters and bloggers.

Are you ready to play JamLegend?

Are you ready to get jammed into the next level of gaming? Since the dance revolution has been invented which we focus on timing, speed and concentrating by looking at the arrows, it was now reinvented with the use of keyboard. If you are familiar of a game called Beat Mania, it's a DJ style game under Playstation which you use your joystick, but in the arcade centers, they have machines which you feel like a real DJ or what we call, Disk Jockey. Then here comes Guitar Hero, another popular game from PS2 or any compatible video game consoles which you will play it using a guitar compatible to your video game console. And there's another game called Dance Maniax, which is only suitable to arcade machines that they use a laser type feature to move both your hands and feet in dancing. Also there's another revolutionary type advanced dance pad game called NX, which is the same dance revolution but in a slant way, with a middle button to support your dance grooves.

These games are very popular in most game consoles and arcade centers. But what about in the internet cafes or your own computer? Do we have same thing like that? Of course yes! Here are the games right now in the personal computer with internet, to play games similar to dance revolution game, using your own keyboard.

1. O2 Jam

2. HighStreet Five

3. Audition

4. JamLegend

I'm talking about one of these four games that I'm playing right now, and it is called JamLegend. Unlike any other games, JamLegend is one of the top online keyboard instrument games that is no need to be downloaded and install, but play directly to the browser itself. Registration is free, and you can choose the songs you want to play. There are different types of play in JamLegend which is the Guitar and the BeatJam. For me, guitar is the best choice and there are also difficulty levels which are Tap only (beginner) and Tap with Strum (advanced). For the tap, you will use only four keys, but with strum, you need five keys which can be edited in your profile.

There's also a level basis mode, which every time you play one song, you gain experience. It's just like you play other online games like World of Warcraft. The more you're playing, the more experience you get and fast leveling too. You can challenge other players and the computer as well in any song you like. You can also earn 500 Jam Cash for referring a friend.

For those who are both music lovers and game lovers, try JamLegend and join for free!

I met a beautiful girl in the mall

Hello guys!

Let's have a little chit chat shall we? It's time for some little off-topic here. After I'm done with my whole job today about search optimising and managing my affiliate marketing accounts, I'm supposed to meet one of my long time friends Quennie, who have recovered from a nervous breakdown in Manila, but she's unable to make it because her mother doesn't want to go for now because she's still recovering. So I'm a little frustrated right now until one of my friend meet me at the mall, which she inquired about the job I offered to be a SEO partner.

We meet each other at the food court and it seems that it was so unexpected that she was the luckiest girl I ever met. Since the times I have not yet known about SEO but just playing games and meeting with girl chatmates, I was so unlucky because most of them are ugly and fat, and sometimes they have boyfriends which I was so unlucky. Now, this is one of the luckiest days I've ever had, because for the first time, I met a girl which is so pretty, cute, understanding, dedicated and most especially no more boyfriend.

I want to treat her for snacks, but she wants to play DOTA with me in an internet cafe near our school as she wants to learn on how heroes are used, and also she wants me to teach her how to use Facebook and most importantly, to teach her about making money online like search optimising skills, freelance content jobs, affiliate programs, etc. Since this is the first time me and Aileen met each other, we were like "bibes" and we're close to each other. I have never experienced spending a long time with a beautiful girl like her. Then, after we're done on internet, we passed through our home which is so big. Ahahaha! I fetch her first before I get home, and it was a great feeling for me that I meet a girl like her.

I hope she likes to do affiliate marketing in the near future and she could be one of my best friends in life, along with Peter and Daniel. Cheers!

Free advertising on Adz-2-Cash

If you are interested on free advertising and earn commission from your referrals, there's one program that does it all for your advertising needs, and I'm really attracted to this one because of their unique features and has been doing a great service for a long time since last year.

That's right guys! I'm talking about a program called Adz-2-Cash!

Adz-2-Cash is a list building or ad exchange program that allows advertisers to get free advertising they want. However, they have an option to upgrade to either pro or JV member which has more benefits than a free member. Here's their comparison:

Features	Free	Pro	JV
# HTML Posting	2 Times	5 Times	10 Times
# Text Posting	2 Times	5 Times	10 Times
# Of Saved Text Ads	5	10	20
# Of Saved HTML Ads	5	10	20
# Of Saved Solo Ads	5	10	20
Pts When Joining	500	2000	4000
Monthly Pts	0	1000	2000
Referral Pts	50	100	200
Pts Viewing Text Ads	5	10	20
Pts Viewing HTML Ads	5	10	20
Pts Reading Solo Ad	50	100	200
Pts Clicking Banners	2	5	10
# Of Viral Cloaked Links	10	20	30

Now you see the real comparison between the free, pro and JV member. Pro and JV member has more benefits than free because of their special advertising features and tools that will unlock their target customers more than sticking to a free member. I like this website because I earn easy points here just to advertise my banner for free without paying. Ahahaha! It depends on how much points you have, and I am totally attracted about this cool advertising program that looks promising.

Another thing, when I view their solo ads, PTC and HTML ads....it seems that it's all about making money opportunities. This is how I'm planning to search affiliate programs that is more focused on making money through signups or lead generation to different exclusive offers which could be found on NetPartner and Clickbank. When you submit your solo ads, it automatically notifies all members through their e-mail or they can view it on the site itself.

It's worth to join here guys. However, I'm not looking to earn money here, but to earn free advertising only with banner or hotlink rotations, etc. Just click any of the logos or links within the Adz-2-Cash word, you see in this post and be part of my team in Adz-2-Cash!

Cheers!

Hello guys! I have withdraw my funds on one of the best HYIPS in the world, which is GeniusFunds that I'm always paid through LibertyReserve in the recent weeks. Now, I have tried using Alertpay to withdraw my GeniusFunds balance, and within 3-5 hours, I've got paid! Here's today's proof of payment!

I thanked GeniusFunds for being such a long term HYIP program, and it gets better at the end of November, when i will finish the maturity of my investment in GeniusFunds from June 2009 until November 2009 which is a long term weekly ROI, and I'm in profit guys!

However, when it is matured that could be expected more than $30, I will not going to withdraw them, but to reinvest in the same plan but I will set it to 100% reinvest week after week until maturity. GeniusFunds started from 2006 and until now, they are totally stable and number one HYIP in the world and the only trusted one!

I'm a wild hoops shooter in arcade basketball

While out of my search optimisation and affiliate marketing tasks for my own blog and for my friend Daniel, I spent my time outside which me and my best friend Peter went out to the mall and have some fun. I have plan to video myself which Peter (cobaltinee) is the one who records through my MP5 player while I shoot some hoops in an arcade basketball game. This happened last October 16, 2009. I should have shared this video before in my blog, but I totally forgot. Check this out and sorry for the delay!

I scored an incredible 665 points in that day, but the real highest scorer there is more than 760 points because he used eight balls and I only used seven balls. But it was not my career high now, because my new career high is 676 points on 7 balls only, which was not recorded this month. This is what I do when I'm not doing my SEO jobs, affiliate and internet marketing, link building and other things need to improve my own blog and my friend's blog.

Enjoy guys!

IReel: One of the worst scammers yet

Yesterday was one of the worst days of my entire life. I have joined IReel for one reason, and that is to watch high definition (HD) movies, TV shows, etc., which I don't know that these sites are very illegal and not subject to copyright with other legitimate movie production companies like Sony, Paramount Pictures, MGM, Columbia, etc. I should have watched 2012, but there is no available. I have decided to sign up with this program just yesterday and they need my credit card information, which may not be charged until I upgrade to premium member. I also did not validate my e-mail because I want to check things out on IReel. It wasted 3-5 hours of my time during my SEO and affiliate marketing hours just to check out some movies. There was a 5-day free trial, and after that they will charge me $34.95 monthly for premium service. I did not attempt to sign up for a free 5 day trial for some more-on like IReel, and when I checked about IReel on the internet, I saw some websites saying that IReel is a filthy scammer. I checked on the comments of other IReel victims that this scammer took their money away without notice. This has started to fear me, and I immediately cancelled my account using the Technical Support area which they have an option that says 'Cancel My Membership".

I fill up all the details given there and to give my reason why I should cancel my IReel membership. After I'm done, they sent me an e-mail which they say that my account information was already removed from their database. Now it's good. But I fear that my credit card information is still there I guess, either they copy all my information needed before I removed my account by myself. Some members there complain that even they cancel their account once they attempted for a free trial, IReel still charged their credit card to pay $34.95 after 5 days or a week.

The best part is, I have not attempted or try to upgrade for a free trial, not even once. I only last about 10 minutes there on IReel and I cancelled my account. I pray that they won't charge me after 5 days. I have informed this to my friend that I should have not given my credit card information to them because it will only download my money without authorization. My friend suggested that the only way to be saved is to cancel or close my credit card and to apply for a new one. This forced me to withdraw all of my earnings and to tell them that I will close it for sure and to get a new one. I will prepare my documents again for applying a new card.

IReel still haunts my mind, and I cannot concentrate on my blogging, SEO and affiliate marketing tasks that I have. Once I will replace my card, I feel much better but I still have to wait for 8-10 business days to get my new card, and that doesn't mean my Paypal is affected. I still have two bank accounts eligible to withdraw from Paypal to them, but I am in no hurry because these banks are slow in process, so I need a new card which is the same as my old card, but with a new card number and password.

It's a lesson that I have learned right now that you don't trust these scumbags like IReel. We must not give them our credit card information to untrusted ones, and from now on I won't trust any suspicious sites like IReel. At least I know what kind of experience I've got here rather than nothing. Those of you who don't know about Ireel, you're lucky and you must not join because this is a scam and fraud site which they will guarantee you for high definition movies and TV shows to watch? Better kick their butts now!

Selling digital products at PayLoadz

I have discovered this program a year ago, but not taking much seriousness about this until I realize that affiliate marketers are making huge money because of this program. They use it wisely and that means I'm going to this program once and for all, and I have found an e-book which has all the strategies of increasing your sales by just selling digital products like e-books, movies, articles, etc. I am talking about a program named PayLoadz.

PayLoadz is an affiliate program which you sell downloads like e-books, movies, music files, articles and many more. The amount really depends on you, no matter how much value your digital product is, you will be the boss of your own price, depends on the value of your digital product. They have an upgrade option too, which you can upgrade with more benefits as low as $5.00 per month to gain full access of it's features as a member.

PayLoadz also has a referral and a reseller program which you gain commission from every click you generated from a visitor and signed up on the program using your affiliate link or banner. You will also earn while your referred member upgrades. For the reseller program, they have a list of products available in the affiliates area and you can choose any product from their huge list you want to promote. If you gain a sale, you gain commission depends on the product you promoted, up to 50% commission.

I suggest you will join this program because it's worth and you will be successful by just uploading your products to them and put into the auction site.

Joining a program like NetPartner

Few hours ago, I was browsing at some of the forums about the affiliate programs, on who's legitimate and paying and who's not. I have explored many affiliate programs there, which I think there are hundreds of them existed in the internet right now. But since there are also lots of scammers out there, I should be careful when I join an affiliate network without some little investigation and research. Today, I have found one thread in the forum who posted about the NetPartner affiliate program, and I've checked out some of the threads and replies on what do they think about this unique affiliate program. Although there are only few replies that they recommend this program for good, and they are really paid with good experiences about using this affiliate network, it truly interests me, and I decided to check out the NetPartner affiliate program. When I'm on the website, I was truly amazed with my own eyes, because in their home page it really attracts me a lot, and I think this could be the legitimate affiliate network I'm looking for than the other leading competitors. So I decided to sign up with them and also submitting my blog's URL to see if they totally approve my blog in order to gain some revenue from their website.

NetPartner is free and easy to join by just filling up the complete details upon registration, and after you completed them, an activation link in your e-mail will be sent and after checking your new e-mail and clicking the activation link, you must wait for them to review their application. So far, I am also interested and attracted in their offers as an advertiser, net partner and a publisher. Of the three account types, I chose to be a publisher, because it's free and easy to use because you have to promote the advertiser's ads about their products and services. NetPartner has features like exclusive offers from other programs, highest payouts and offering a CPA (Cost-per-Action) and Revenue Sharing to the publishers either in a website or blog, as long as it is truly yours.

The reason I join Netpartner affiliate network is because on my other previous affiliate networks, they have no guarantee that I will earn money from them. I have tried everything, even through my daily search optimization and updating my blog daily, but they won't work for me at all, and it makes me inactive for a month in blogging. Now I have finally learned on what affiliate marketing is all about and to make money in a smart way, I'm going back to do blogging again, but I won't go back to the previous ones. So I chose Netpartner affiliate program because they're truly professional, honest and reliable customer service and always entertaining problems that affiliate marketers have experience, and they have been always there to help them.

So I think Netpartner will be the ultimate solution to my success starting now, and I'm going to be serious about it because I don't want to be included in those who are failures in affiliate marketing, so I don't want to be a loser now, even in Netpartner affiliate marketing, because I know this might be the answer to my potential success.

I have collected almost at $2,000 total on DigitalPoint forums

As I have computed my total earnings since April 2009 until today, I have estimated that I'm about to reach the $2,000 overall mark of my earnings through different clients on DigitalPoint in just over 7 months. If you don't believe it, check the link right HERE.

I was truly amazed on how I achieved this kind of amount in less than a year, and I'm pretty sure that I'm going to raise more than $3,000 before I hit April 2010. I have started applying on freelance jobs on April 2009 and my first earning was $0.10. Right now I receive about $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $200 and more to come. I am so happy that I have achieved this for myself, while at home sitting and just doing easy freelance jobs. I thanked DigitalPoint forums for making it as one of my "saviors". I was permanently banned once, but I have e-mailed them my apology and without notice, I was reinstated.

DigitalPoint saved my financial needs. The next step is about affiliate marketing which one of my friends advised me to use this scheme as the legitimate and ultimate step of success! There are lots of affiliate networks out there, along with my current multi-level-marketing company, KingDnarmsa International with Peter as my downline in a 2 star level, to make strategies in making money with them. I have to study about affiliate programs which I have downloaded a free e-book from John Chow after I've subscribed to his website.

I'm attracted to affiliate marketing now, but so far I just need to continue my freelance jobs with various clients in order to raise money for my personal needs and wants, and also to invest for affiliate marketing in the near future and for the best MLM company, which I've already invested and to start promoting their products too. But still, DigitalPoint forums are the first ones who "saved" me.

Will the new FTC rules impact affiliate marketing?

One of my friends have given me some links on the latest information about the affiliate marketing rumors. I clicked the link and it leads me to the website of the Federal Trade Commission or the FTC itself, about their newest rule about the endorsements and testimonials in marketing with the affiliate companies, that will imply strict compliance to the affiliate companies, affiliate marketers, advertisers and bloggers like me.

Many of the blog owners like me have discussed this issue, along with their comments.

Link 1: http://www.joelcomm.com/new_ftc_rules_for_testimonials_1.html

Link 2: http://affiliate-blogs.5staraffiliateprograms.com/3619/affiliates-ftc-non-disclosure.html

Link 5: http://tactictester.com/ftc-laws-change-affiliate-marketing/

Link 6: http://ftc.gov/multimedia/video/business/endorsement-guides/endorse_mary-q5.shtm

And here's the latest issue on which Federal Trade Commission backs down that an $11,000 fine per violation of their new rules or Terms and Conditions (TOS) is not true at all!

http://affiliate-blogs.5staraffiliateprograms.com/3627/ftc-backs-down-the-11000-fine-is-not-true.html

If you want to have your own disclosure policy to play safe in the way you review a product on your blog, according to 5StarAffiliates, here's a nice tool that you can start:

http://disclosurepolicy.org/

I have also checked out some latest videos about this Federal Trade Commission's newest issue, and this video by Eric Gruber from LiveSiteReviews.

And this one from 3News Consumer Smart:



And another one from huskermania of Youtube:



I think it's better to play safe for now, even it's not December 1! I'm afraid and concern that this would really affect online and affiliate marketers out there to generate some sales, revenue and leads. I'm not yet sure what to do about the disclosure of my statement when reviewing a product from an affiliate company, or they send me money for reviewing their own product as a paid review, and I think if I receive freebies from affiliate companies, it needs to be disclosed.

We will find out more updates about the Federal Trade Commission's next move soon! Cheers!
