Fun With Your Pictures - It Will Entertain Your Readers

Kamila has found a fun site that can upload any photograph and transform it to give many different effects. This is really useful to bloggers who may want to capture more of a audience with fun photographs that have gone throught the process.

Kamila experimented with it and found that photo fun takes less than one minute to download a photograpsh and go through the process. Then simple copy and paste the code onto you blog under the HTML editing option and you have an instant attention seeking photograph created wtih ease.

The whole thing is free and everyday another different effect is added to the site quite amazing cosidering how much photofun you get. There are currently over 100 different effects and this will obviously grow each day in this novelty photo effects site.

Have a look at what Kamila did on her first try:

Yes, its the big bad wolf and Kamila is in the picture on the wall waiting for Goldilocks to turn up.

Then Kamila turned her attention to MGM imitating the lion that is normally there in the centre frame. Doesn't she just look the part!?

Grrrr!

A few moments later Kamila found this effect where a digital camera has taken a picture of a digital camera taking a picture of Kamila.

This picture was taken at Easter but not quite an Easter bonnet doned by Kamila.

Finally, Kamila loves to be in the news and now she finds herself in the newspaper. Well there's no other way she could get the headlines is there?

Kamila on the front page of the tabloids. The guy reading is more interested in page three though!

So, Kamila suggests that if you want a bit of fun this Christmas and beyond, try out the photofunia site. It's great fun and will enhance and entertain your blog readers with this.

"Have fun at Christmas!" says Kamila.

Blogsvertise Help Pay For Blogging

Over the past year Kamila and her team have been writing paid reviews to supplement their income and help pay the overheads that are incurred in blogging. This included paying for a monthly internet service at 22 BGN leva per month, paying for the subscription fees for web servers and web domain, the electric that is used and of course the time spent blogging.

Most paid review organisations are a bit erratic but it has come to pass that one paid review site comes up with the good it originally advertise in trying to get blogger and advertisers to use them. Kamila being a blogger can obviously only see the bloggers side of the organisation. Over the year the earning made from Blogsvertise is US$116.50. This amount was made only by selecting assignments that were in common with the blogs that they were offered too. Taking all assignments offered this figure would be in excess of US$300! The US$116.50 makes a great dent into the covering of overheads of blogging from this one site alone.

Kamila cannot find fault with Blogsvertise, they regularly come up with assignments that can be taken or left without prejudice and pay monthly regularly as clockwork. The fees range from US$7 to US$12.50 per paid review and you get that amount rather then a third being taken off as commission – this is how it should be.

If there is a problem with the paid review post they let you know where the problem lies straight away, so you can edit and reapply the post. This is invaluable for dyslexics and we have one who writes in the team. And with payment direct into you Pay pal account it couldn’t be simpler.

Kamila is now waiting for Christmas to happen here in Bulgaria and will probably have four days of family parties knowing that paid reviews will be waiting in the New Year to be able to continue blogging and of course now with pictures as a digital camera has been purchased thanks to two very kind donations made by bloggers.

Another $100 From AdSense Due Before Christmas

Day to day is how Kamila is taking thing right now. Who knows what will happen in the future is the though that is fixed in her mid this weekend as she takes a couple of days break from blogging. Who would have thought Kamila would have ended up in Bulgaria as a blogger two years ago?

AdSense came to mind as Kamila’s mind wandered into money making ideas. This week saw the AdSense account nudge over $100 and therefore a payment is due through Western Union before Christmas. What great timing! This is the second $100 plus payment by AdSense over the year and of course once set up is a passive form of earning. Kamila knows that on average only a few cents a day are made, it can be 10 days on occasions where nothing is earned then suddenly $2-3 dollars are made in a day!

Not being an expert by any means on AdSense, Kamila knows that is she took the AdSense tips that are given on many money making blogs she could make a bit more out of it. This does mean that she would be writing centring on AdSense keywords rather than having a free hand and free willed. But on the other hand what is she doing when she write paid reviews anyway? It is no different and of course Google don’t look as serious at directed key-worded AdSense posting.

Kamila did dabble with AdBrite but found that this really didn’t make any money at all and the ads were a bit naughty on occasions. So she stuck with AdSense and of course has built up a little money for Christmas not for present, but to cover fuel for heating.

Kamila says, "Well worth the wait from AdSense!"

Goods News For Kamila - Persistence Paid

Some good news today for Kamila as she opens her emails as she normally does. There was a message from PayPerPost saying that Kamila’s blog is now accepted and she can now write sponsored posts.

Well it just proves that persistence pays. Kamila had applied a couple of months before and not accepted, so she got her act together and started writing posts more often and applied again last month. She was refused again due to only have one post on the home page. This was adjusted and she reapplied yet again and today was a result.

Kamila just hope now that she get some work. Nothing more that $1 commissions today she won’t be diddled with these, so she’ll look for jobs again tomorrow. That digital camera replacing the one that came with the Ark looks a step nearer now.

This is a lesson many could learn from – If you get rejected, NEVER GIVE UP!

“Rock On Ya All!” says Kamila.

Money And Paid Ads No Big Loss For Many On Entrecard

More pertaining to a parrot then a camel Kamila will repeat the news that Entrecard is ending EC to convert to cash alongside the dropping of paid ads. Well we all knew this was coming it was just a matter of time before the cat was let out of the bags. Kamila now wonders how many EC members will leave the bandwagon knowing that this is not a cash driven community any more.

In a way although Kamila has lost the opportunity to cash her EC credits, which were being saved for a digital camera (and she has a hefty sum) they are still valuable in a different way. Using the EC credits for more advertising and buying goods and services the EC market place in some ways is just as good as cash.

It is with a sigh of relief from Kamila that paid ads are dropped, this was a bone of contention to many EC members, with Kamila as no exception. She felt that many members were put off with only getting half the exposure for the same ‘fee’ was a bit of a rip off.

The new owners have been decisive and made decisions that won’t please all, but those EC members who joined for the reasons of upping traffic and community spirit must be dancing a little, Kamila did a little jig when she heard.

Kamila thought again and wonders whether anyone would like to put a digital camera up in EC marketplace for Kamila to buy with credit. This would be a great help to her and her master.

“Have fun over the weekend!” Kamila says.

No More New Cash Outs Options For Entrecard Members?

What a weekend Kamila had! It was 40 degrees centigrade over the weekend in the village and reminded her of her youth in Egypt but fertile soil instead of sand. Relaxing just didn’t take place though as she lent a hand with harvesting the onions and prepare the soil for the next crop of winter cabbage and leeks.

Arriving back to town it was blogging again and the whole weekend Entrecard and the take over was on Kamila’s mind. Together we have over 100,000 EC and were going to use those funds to buy a new digital camera as the one we own right now is really in a bad state of repair. But now the new owners have stopped the option to join up to covert credits into cash it seems that the intentions of the new owners is to halt the payments in their tracks. Kamila is sure the Graham Langdon made it a condition to honour previous credit to cash prior to their takeover but future payments remain very much in doubt. It looks like that camera will have to wait quite a while longer as Kamila didn’t register for the cash swap condition beforehand.

At this moment Kamila has also notice a few Entrecard members leaving, not many, but see can fully understand why to some who use this solely as an earner rather than a social building tool.
It is a camel that remains loyal to Entrecard as long as the new company tread carefully and have bloggers at the bottom of their heart. Business is business so they have to make money, but Kamila feels that the potential of Entrecard, unique in its field, gives room for something for everyone. Indeed, Kamila feels that a little competition for Entrecard with a similar system would go well to urge Entrecard out of the monopoly they have right now.

All things considered Kamila feels that apart from the sign up for cash option being taken away, nothing has changed, but she feels that the wheels of change will turn slowly around, but it is more with excitement than pessimism, Entrecard can’t afford to make more mistakes as they have in the past and the new company must be aware of that is they have any sense.

“Chiao for Niao” Says Kamila, “And thanks for the positive comments guys”.
