Weekend Blogging And Dropping To Stop?

Image by Divwerf via Flickr

Kamila is in a bit of a dilemma from a frugal point of view. Here in Bulgaria Kamila uses the Internet in two places. The first in the City of Yambol in the family home, then at weekends she uses the Internet at the farmhouse in the village. The problem lies in that there are two lots of Internet bills.

The town house monthly Internet connection is 22 leva per month and the farmhouse connection 25 leva per month. Even though the village connection is more expensive it substantially slower than the town connection, it takes hours and hours for sites to be downloaded to drop on and of course only used two days of the week. Kamila doesn’t earn enough to cover the cost of both Internet connections so she is seriously think of just being a 5-day-a week blogger and is trying to weigh up what will be lost by not blogging or dropping on Saturday and Sundays.

It seems such a simple decision to make, but there is a sense of letting the side down by not dropping and clicking on 51 Adgitize ads on those weekend days of the week. This will mean her team’s position will drop like a lead balloon in most communities.

Kamila will be thinking about this all today. The bill for August’s Internet connection is due on the 11th August. Will it be paid or will is be discontinued. It can be started up any time again in the future without penalty, that a bonus. I think we know what the decision will be, after all, there is a life outside Entrecard and Kamila thinks that too many bloggers should get out more at weekend especially in glorious summer days as we have right now.

“Bring back free weekends again!” Kamila says.

PS
The holiday break is now booked. Kamila will let you know when she is off.

Adgitize Pays Dividends Again

“Wow!” says Kamila after reading an email from Adgitize. This month’s payment fo9r Kamila’s and the team in Bulgaria surpass any previous month with a staggering $23.71. All this for tons of traffic coming in for $14 per month advertising fee of the month leaving a clear profit of $9.71.

Look:
Amount: $23.71 USD
Transaction Date: Aug 5, 2009
Transaction ID: 2***************
Subject: Adgitize Publisher Payment July 2009

This month Ken Brown (Mr Adgitize) has set up a competition with a top prize of $75, yes a hard cash prize. You do nothing other than what you normally do on Adgitize, that is, write posts, click on 51 other Adgitize members’ widgets whilst dropping on Entrecard widgets then sit back and relax. That’s exactly what Kamila does.

Kamila still thinks in terms of time spent on Adgitize, the traffic it generates, the money it generates and the excellent communication and leadership of Adgitize Ken Brown this is the best ‘link exchange’ system around.

It must only be a matter of time before Adgitize becomes a bigger entity. Kamila can’t understand why only around 130 are subscribing to advertising right now. Perhaps some think it is too good to be true. Even if you don’t advertise you are still earning so it is well worth dipping in. there have been many bloggers who have done trials on Adgitize and all Kamila has read about give positive feedback and they continue to run with it.

Kamila invites you to join Adgitize, it’s free and just takes a couple of minutes.

The Promise Of A Short Break to The Seaside

Kamila has decided that the best time go goes away on holiday if you are in business is when everyone else goes on holiday. Why is that? Well Kamila has found that there is very little work to be getting on with, as most people are on vacation right now all the business has ground to a halt and everyone is recharging their batteries.

Kamila mentioned this to her master and convinced him that a small break would be good for all of us. Kamila can’t ever remember being on holiday at the seaside other than an odd weekend or in connection with business. So right now there are plans being made as she types. We are to go to the black sea for maybe three or four days for a break. We can’t afford anything expensive so we will probably end up in a tent or a hut, but we will be spending most of our time on the sand and in the sea. That brings back memories to Kamila.

We will know within the next day or so when we are going and Kamila will make sure she lets everyone know so they don’t think that she is ignoring everyone.

“Yippee!” says Kamila.

p.s. The word count here was 205, an optimum length for a blog – “Ooops I added to it now,” says Kamila

When Reserved Means Not Reserved With PayPer Post

Kamila got her first assignment on PayPerPost yesterday, no not the previous post to this, but another one that isn’t published. Why wasn’t it published? Well the little story begins.

Kamila was all excited, an assignment that was worth a measly $1.75, but nearly twice as much at the insulting $1 jobs that she just refuses to touch. It was a quick trip to the sink (oasis) to get a drink of water and then settled herself down to write about twitching eyes. That was what the post was to be about. My goodness she was keen. Then thought that this fee she was to get would buy three days worth of bread for the Bulgarian family that looks after her. She will be earning here keep there at last.

35 minutes later and two spell checks to be sure, she had finished the post. It wasn’t difficult she enjoyed the work and added a picture to enhance the advertisement. It was ready for publishing and went forward with it.

Kamila went back to Pay Per Post to register the job had been done giving the details of the post and her heart dropped. There was a message saying that she hadn’t reserved the post! But she did, it was there, she put the answer the simple question to reserve the post and it was confirmed.

Has this happened to anyone else before? Kamila asks. She felt quite demoralised after that and it was a good job another post assignment came up a few hours later and worth much more than the $1.75 she didn’t earn. What does she do with the post now?

“Life is full of ups and downs!” says Kamila

Kamila On Finding The Right Webhosting Company

It has always been a bit of a mystery to Kamila as to how people choose the right webhosts. So many choices and a maze of information and claims that can be worded to sound so attractive and a, ‘Must have!’ label attached. Kamila is of the opinion that it doesn’t always do what it says on the label.

It is a wiser blogging camel that knows many webhosts just don’t live up the billing that is written up about the service they provide. There are problems that come about that just weren’t mentioned in the promotion. This is natural as there is no point promoting the fault of good or services. What’s more Kamila knows that sometimes you are probably tied in to a contract that has to run its course or lose money cancelling early. On the other hand Kamila thinks that there may be a webhost provider that is perfect for many webmasters, including camel bloggers, but you we just don’t know about them.

Kamila feels that what is needed is a feedback system where customers who have used a range of web hosting services give their opinions of the company. There is no better way of finding out whether that web hosting system is good bad or indifferent as it come from the very people who have actually used it on a day to day basis.

Furthermore in an ideal world, Kamila thinks that a rating should be given to each webhosting company based on certain key criteria such as customer satisfaction, affordability, reliability, uptime and the quality of technical support. On top of this it should cover a mass of webhosting companies, not just the well known who have been advertising more than others. The greater the choice the more likely a webhost can be found that hit the mark with you

Well Kamila has found a website that does just dedicated to rating webhosting companies through customer reviews and feedback. She found that this is the biggest searchable webhosting directory to date, which gives comprehensive information on all webhosting providers around right now with web hosting plans laid out. Also they give promotional and discount coupons alongside the very useful unedited reviews by real customers.

Kamila suggests that you have a look at some of the articles written up on this site there are some great tips within these article and not just about webhosting reviews. Kamila has always said that before you consider buying anything, do your homework on what’s best for you. This makes homework finding a webhosting company so much easier.

Kamila says,
“I hope you enjoyed my recommendation, even if you don’t need a webhosting provider right now!”
