Blogger

This is my third post on how to be a better blogger and earn a decent income from it. You may found the previous two post are as useful as this:

1. 10 reasons why your blog never break that two figure income…
2. You don’t have to watch this FREE blog teaching video…

There are basically two types of bloggers in the world – reporters and experts – and some people perform both roles (usually the experts, it’s hard for reporters to become experts, but it’s easy for experts to report).

…if you are satisfied with the money that you earned from your blog

This is my second part of how you could be a better blogger. If you have not read yesterday’s post, you may want to check it out before you proceed to watch this video. It will give you a better idea on what am I talking about.

…and you only receive your Adsense check every 3 months

I intended to write this post for bloggers who blog for money. If you are not blogging for money, i.e. blogging to fill up your leisure time with something useful and share your life story with others, then this post will most probably not be relevant to you.

Steven Wong, one of my good friend, who is also a co-founder of the first ever Blogging Seminar in Malaysia which started in July 2007 came up with their series of blogging workshop here in Kuala Lumpur. Steven made a podcast with me in August 2007, in which he is using my website and blog as their teaching tools to their students on how you can earn a living by blogging online.

Calling all doctor and student bloggers and anyone who can help. The Government has begun to arrest and jail doctors on a technicality – not registering their clinic with the PHFSA. This act treats doctors like common criminals. These are community doctors who have not committed a serious crime but instead face an incredibly harsh sentence for their technical lapse.

Here’s for October ‘07!

• Ben Godomon, wrote an article here in this blog about Jambatan Tamparuli (Tamparuli Bridge), apparently one of the famous bridge here in Sabah. For travelers going to Kinabalu Park from Kota Kinabalu, you will almost definitely use this bridge on the way. Ben blog about music, travel, technology and sport commentaries in his “Chronicles”. He wrote about Sabah’s official orchid nominated: paphiopedilum rothschildianum (”sumazau” slipper orchid) which excites me very much, as I only saw this orchid once in the “Mountain Garden” of Kinabalu Park. The orchid is endemic only to Sabah’s rainforests, at elevations of 500 – 1200m above sea level.

I won. After blogging about my first Advertlets check and a photo of my kids wearing Advertlets badge, Josh is kind enough to nominate me as one of the winner for the post.

Enough about me. If you have not received any Advertlets check (maybe the accumulated amount in your account is not enough for you to cash out), then you should consider writing a sponsored post about Advertlets. 100 bloggers from Malaysia and Singapore will have the opportunity to increase your account by RM20 (or SGD10 for Singaporean). It may not looked much, but it is better than nothing!

From now on, I am going to have one dedicated post at the beginning of each month for 3 Malaysian bloggers who has a dedication on blogging. I think by having this Blogger Hall of Fame post, many of unsung bloggers, which has a very good articles and contents, would benefit my readers. Apart from reading my post on Mount Kinabalu almost everyday, it is nice to read, once in a while, about other bloggers who have dropped by this blog, and shared their magic moments.

This is the second part of an interview by Steven Wong, a re known Malaysian Internet Marketer with this blog. If you have not heard the first part, you can get it here.

These are the questions that Steven asked me on this podcast:

1. In your opinions, why do the people kept coming to your site and what are the methods you use to make your blog sticky? Sticky mean make the visitors keep coming back to your blog.
