Yes, google pays teenagers!
How can I be sure? Well, I got paid myself. I guess that alone is enough to ease your doubt. If youre still not convinced, why dont you subscribe to my blog so youll get your proof every single day? *wink*
Anyways, I wrote about my eagerness to claim my google money (check it here) and yesterday, I finally had the chance to receive this payment and boy, I have a story to tell you guys. I was on a western union outlet to claim my payment and at first, everybody was very casual. There were quite a number of people there, majority were of course filipinos and there were two american males with their wives. So, I went to the teller (she was around 45, lonely and from the looks of it, she never had a BF since birth. haha!) and told her I wanted to receive my money and she told me in a very strict and somewhat angry tone to get a yellow form and fill it up completely and so I patiently obeyed. After completing the form, I handed it to her and the moment she saw the sender, she said "Uy, Google!" (Hey, its from google!). This was the moment that I started smiling.
She asked me lengthy questions on how, when, where I got the money and I told her im a blogger and that among others, we earn from google. She enthusiastically told me she was interested to blog and at this point, I was thinking about her possible niche and one idea struck me; Grave Digging! hahaha! Yes, she looked like that. You get me, im sure!
Among her numerous comments, she told me "uy, ilang million ka nag search sa google para mabayaran?" (How many million times did you use the search box of google to get paid?) and at this point in time, friends, I wanted to burst into laughter.
And so, to make the story short, she wanted to blog but she just couldnt. This experience really proved to me that blogging is not for everyone (and for every age for this matter).
Google Pays Teenagers! Check Out My Funny Experience
Posted by NurseJake Labels: Adsense, teens make moneyHate online bingo spams? Me too! And im here to sympathize with you on this one.
Do you still remember the old internet explorer days and just when you were in your chair feeling relaxed and enjoying whatever youre doing and suddenly this blinky, glittery and awful online bingo pop-up comes? God, I remember shutting down the computer after it crashed because of these horrible stuff. (I was on dial-up connection back then)
What is bingo anyways? Well, if you ask me, i think its a great game offline especially if youre with friends or cousins, this would definitely liven the gathering but online? Its vicious! I got fooled once when a site offered me to play the best online bingo games in one of the online bingo rooms. It was alright when I was still playing with it but I found out a week or so after that my PC is full of malicious adwares. Hows that for a bingo cheap thrill?
Whats your bingo experience?
How Teenagers Make Money Online Using Google Adsense
Posted by NurseJake Labels: Adsense, How To Make Money Online For Teenagers, teens make money
Almost three months ago, I wrote a post about finally switching to adsense and foregoing bidvertiser for alot of reasons. You can check out my post why I trashed bidvertiser away and right now, I think I made one of the best decisions in my whole blogging career. Of course you remember my post about a filipino earning $19,000 a month on adsense alone. Right? Well, im not on that lever just yet. *wink*
I got paid by google adsense!
Yes, thats right lads! I just found out last night that my payment was ready even before christmas day (it was ready for pickup on the 24th). I opted to receive my payment through western union since Its alot faster than checks which would take around 4 weeks and alot simpler than paypal since no bank transactions are needed.
Ive heard alot of amusing stories from other bloggers when they withdraw their money from outlets. Ive heard one sales lady asked a blogger upon payment, "are you working in google sir?" and the blogger said "yes, and we are many". Im hoping to use the same line if ever the sales person asks me today and ill let you know when I come back.
A special shoutout to Dark Knight of blue mumble and Kuya J of PMT for the info about the withdrawal.
This is my impression after reading the New Year Giveaway post of his.
Although he is pretty much pinoy-looking, I cant help but imagine him on red suit with sack full of goodies from Auction.Ph and PlogHost. Let me just stress out that these are not your ordinary goodies. Up for grabs are : Subwoofer system (for my room), Php 2,000 GC from Nokia, Ferrari model cars and a USB among other minor prizes from the sponsors like the shirt. I left a comment on his blog to get a chance to win a shirt. *fingers crossed*
God, you dont know how much I itched to write this post. I know you've probably been reading some of the blogger's christmas experiences and escapades like John Chow or Shoe Money. Well, on this blog, its not that many but its MUCH.
Blogging Bought Me A PSP! Yahoooo!
The moment I was at the mall trying to find the best deal, this title was already on my mind and i just couldn't wait to get home and make a post about it.
There she is. Isnt she gorgeous?
In addition to the PSP, i also bought accessories for it including the pc-psp usb connector, a protectant (or whatever it is called) and a 1GB memory stick for it to hold mp3s and videos. I havent tried connecting to the internet using it but I will soon and maybe post something on here.
I posted about how I wanted to blog to gain financial independence from my parents and though it has not been fully realized yet, this PSP symbolizes my determination to reach that goal just by blogging.
So, you still doubting if blogging really can make money?!? Think again.
Ok, I wrote about my successful withdrawal from paypal and im still contemplating whether to buy a domain and start another blog or to venture into a small business. Meanwhile, I guess it would be very helpful to alot of people especially filipinos if im going to post about the step by step process. Here's how :
- Sign up for a paypal account. - Make sure you choose the "basic" account and also input all the necessary data truthfully. Dont worry, its paypal nothing goes wrong with it.
- Apply for an EON cyber account - That may sound too futuristic or maybe a bit intimidating but just go ahead and apply. You can apply for a card online, choose which branch nationwide you want to get your card and just wait for sometime until the card is ready for pick-up. You also have to pay Php350 for the membership and card to unionbank upon picking up the card.
- Verify your Paypal using the EON card - Usually, you have to wait for 2 weeks maximum for your EON to be activated. I think every credit or debit card needs that time to get activated but nonetheless, it only takes about 9 to 12 days. After the card has been activated, verify your account using your card (your paypal needs to be verified for you to be able to withdraw anything). This process will take $1.95 from your eon account or equivalent to around Php84. Dont worry, paypal will give it back as soon as you start with your first transaction. After this verification, you have to wait for a 4-digit number paypal reflects to your EON transactions. You can do so by either of this two processes : One, you can wait for your monthly transactions (the one on envelopes) and Two, you can call the toll-free number at the back of your EON card and an operator gives you the 4 digit numbers after you give them necessary infos. I prefer the latter since its way faster and easier. After this one, complete the verification process by entering the 4-digit number you got into your paypal account and that's it, your paypal is now verified!
- Click "withdraw" on your paypal account - Yes, this is the final phase. You can withdraw a maximum of $495 dollars since they charge $6 for the transfer. They said you have to wait for 5-7 days for the transfer to arrive but i received mine after only 3 days.
- Enjoy your blogging money! - Yes, this is part of the tutorial.hehe I have to tell you, the feeling of finding out you got money from blogging is the same as having the girl your courting to say "yes".
That's it guys! I hope this post clear things up. If something comes up and you need some help, im here to help you out. Just contact me or comment below. Dont forget to subscribe to get updates!
Paypal Money Successfully Withdrawn!
Posted by NurseJake Labels: how to earn money quick, teen money
Yes lads! I am very happy to inform you that I have been able to successfully withdraw my money from paypal. I have been waiting for this moment since the first day that I started blogging way back in July.
In the course of my blogging, I have encountered alot of obstacles, problems and numerous dilemmas about this issue and after it all, I now have my money! You cant imagine how happy I was when I first found out about the transfer.
I withdrawn only $495 which translates to Php 20,100 (see my attached pic from unionbak) of my money since its the maximum amount that paypal allows for international transfers and I still have to withdraw the remaining amount maybe next year coz im still waiting for dollar to rise again.
Well, well, well. . . I told you guys I wanted to be financially dependent from my parents through blogging right?! Hey, im going there! And about the question if a teenager can make a million pesos out of cost-free blogging, well, i still have Php 9,980,700 more to go!
Trully, this is a VERY VERY VERY Merry Christmas!
Its almost christmas eve and I havent yet to have my Christmas shopping yet. School has been really harsh this week and I can barely keep up with the killer deadlines, more daunting tasks and even murderous clinical instructors. Anyways, heres the issue that we have to tackle for the today,
can you really have free christmas presents from this free samples?
Im really sure that if you are surfing the internet on a regular basis, you have been in one way or another, encountered coupon codes or grocery coupons. These are offers that seem to come out of nowhere and really bug anyone who comes across them. I have been searching the web to find out their authenticity and I found out that around ninety eight percent of these offers are nothing more than paid pop-up ads and some even contains adwares or even trojans! Yes, I have read some forums where alot of people are complaining about this one. I for one is an active hater of pop-ups and thats why I always refresh internet temporary files and changed my browser to mozilla. On the other side of the coin, there are, however people that really benefited alot from these free offers. Maybe its because they are the legit ones.
You might have noticed some of the bloggers who used to host their blogs for free are slowly transforming their blog to paid domains and join the dot com club. This brings me to a question though, Im almost on my sixth month blogging, do you think I should buy a domain and host this blog in wordpress?
This is actually not the first time im thinking about this one and as a matter of fact, I have been discussing this with my friend jay who I enticed to blog and now, hes earning more money than his older sisters. Anyways, I cam across http://www.webhostingchoice.com and I think they offer the best guide to hosting.
What do think, Should I? Or should I not?

Just a few days ago, I was in constant correspondence with a teen money making blogger named fabien of Small Fish Big Money. We discussed alot of things about blogging, how teens should start earning from blogging and that we should help each other make money. Surely, I didnt expect this help to come too soon.
Recently, he launched a contest on his blog and whoever gets to answer first, gets a 125x125 ad spot on his blog. Well, this wasnt really hard for me coz we got to know each other prior to this one so needless to say, I won! Thanks fabz!
The contest is still up for grabs and he is giving away a free review of your blog if you enter his contest. It sure does benefit any blog if you get an exposure like this one. What are you waiting for? Go ahead! Visit his contest here.
Make Money From The Bank – Yes It Is Possible!
Posted by NurseJake Labels: Tips on How Teens Make Money OnlineWhen it comes to making money, many of us have probably tried all of the traditional ways with varying results but we do not tend to explore the less obvious options that are not really publicised. One idea of making money that falls into this category and is not really exploited is the high interest saving account. Yes, you can actually make money off the bank via a saving account and About Your Money can show you how!
About Your Money actually has a fantastic savings accounts section. There is a guide to savings accounts to give you a little information about choosing the right one for you and a comparison table that shows you the highest interest savings accounts without you have to click anywhere else! If you want maximum money for minimum effort then this is for you. No other website that I have come across offers such a great range of savings accounts as well as a guide so it is well worth a look!
I have been receiving emails lately inquiring about how much money I am making and i thought what if im going to disclose my earnings to my readers, would it help my blog in general? Well, finally, you can see how much I have been making from blogging since day 1. You can refer to my right sidebar. ;)
In connection to this post, some bloggers were asking, whats my tip for starting bloggers who want to make money online and i should say that blogging is not an overnight endeavor. You have to put your personality when youre writing and in the process youre making your blog unique from millions of others. Statistics show that 98% of bloggers fail to make money online, I say you can very well make it to the top 2%. I guarantee you that! ;)
Yes lads! Thats right! I finally received my adsense pin. I thought its not going to arrive since it has already been like 3 to 4 weeks ago since I broke the $50 mark on my google adsense and this is actually my very first time to be paid by google.
I asked my friend, lady (she doesnt want to disclose her real name to me. Convince her please) what would happen next and she told me that its going to be just a matter of waiting until they tell you that the money is ready for pick-up at a local western union outlet. Im really looking forward to withdrawing this amount to fund my christmas expenses. This would be my first time to have a Christmas away from financial independence from my parents which is my prime purpose in blogging.
I have a close to $150 to withdraw so it would be somewhat enough to compensate but im trying to work things out my paypal so I can finally withdraw everything.
If you want to know more about google adsense, i made a post about them when i first used them. Check out my post : Make Money As A Teen with Adsense
Chatting is something that I used to do as a hobby. I was in front of my personal computer all the time and I was enjoying every second of it. The thought of meeting someone from the other side of the globe just astounded me to the point that I was in the chat lines for a couple of hours a day. Well, if i had a choice, I would've wanted to spend that time blogging.
On another point, I wrote about some phone chat a couple of posts ago and this is a follow up to that one since im really intrigued how this works. They are saying that its a free chat that allows users to leave voice messages to other members or let them talk live on phone. Im going to keep you guys updated with this one as soon as I try them out.
Tackling about a car insurance isnt really my specialty nor is it my expertise but its nice to be flexible enough and talk about different financial undertakings on this blog since I dont remain a teen forever. Who knows, I might be talking about these topics in my next blog.
Anyways, my subject of discussion for today is how to sight a very good car insurance and how to distinguish the better ones from the others. Now, there are alot of sites that offer to compare car insurance online and I am very sure you have some across one its just that you were not conscious about it or you just didnt recognize it because youre "spam senses" got the best of you. Well, this is a post to let you know of a web site that offers one of the most comprehensive car credit loans on the net today, well, this is of my opinion but yours will be so much welcome. They compare not only the prices of car insurance quotes but also the ones that really matters most on this business, the quality of these quotes.
Think of it this way, you are on the mall and you are looking for a good basketball shoes to use for the upcoming league game at the local courts and you are torn between the decision of two pairs of shoes. One, is the well established adidas or nike (im not endorsing them) and the other one is a not so well known brand with only a big thirty percent off price tag. Which one would you choose? Would yo rather go for the less established ones and compromise quality and maybe embarrassment if ever something goes wrong with the shoes?
This is the main objective of this discussion today lads, do not get fooled by the ones who's posing just the price but take into consideration what really matters most in your financial endeavor. Sure it would cost a little more but again, would you rather risk it?
This is the issue that I would like to address in today's post because there are alot of sites in the internet today that offers essay custom or custom research paper. If you were asked which is better, would you choose the one which is well written but is not yours or the one you made with your own idea but risk the chance of getting a low mark? A pretty tough decision to make right?
Its not very hard to find yourself an essay writer nowadays but it never fails to give you a satisfying feeling if you do something yourself. Think of it as courtship, how would you like to have someone court a girl for you? Its like defeating the whole purpose of it. Right?
The answer is rested upon you. ;)
This new trend of teen chat has been taken my attention in the last few days since I keep on hearing them from friends over at MSN. Do you still remember the very outdated free chat of Yahoo Messenger? And how they really suck from two years ago up until now? Im still wondering why they are still on operation until now.
Anyways, heres another alternative to look into, and its called voice chat lines. Members are 18 and above from more than 150 cities around the globe. Instead of typing, you can directly call the person you want to communicate with. How cool is that?
Guys, I really believe that personalized gifts are really the best ones that can give a smile to certain someone no matter our relationship with him or her. It never fails to amaze me how my friends or even my family members would react when I give them gifts with their names on it.
I found this site that specializes on just making picture pillows. These photo blankets are very highly customizable and in fact, you can choose your own pillow design and how you are going to go about the whole thing. You can also make use of myspace or friendster for this one if you have pictures that really ring a bell in your recipient's heart. The possibilities are endless; go ahead and design your own.

Using Asterisk In Your Blog Title - Is It Really Effective?
Posted by NurseJake Labels: Blogging tips
Some few weeks back, Ive read somewhere that putting asterisk in your blog title will catch the attention of your readers so I decided to use this tip and employ it on my blog title and heres what happened:
I actually saw an uphill movement from my traffic each day around 20% of my total visits. This is after around two months of employing this technique and there might well be other factors why this happend. One, more of my pages must have been indexed by google and two, this may just be coincidental. For whatever reason this might be caused, I think im sticking with it for sometime. I may not have a 100% recommendation for you guys to employ this technique but its worth a try.
If you search for "teens make money online", you will most probably see my blog on the the first page and it has an asterisk embedded. Tell me what you think about it.
Im due for payment by clickbooth, they supply majority of the banner ads you see around here. I wrote about them months ago when i said they call you to verify your identity and ask you questions a bit (God, my nose bled so hard. lol) Check out my post here.
My limit was supposed to be just $50 but due to some circumstances like paypal issues along with tight schedules, it reached to around $170 and I now want to withdraw it to my paypal account or my visa debit card but they said the W8 form for international clients needed to be submitted to them.
This is actually the first program that let me submit such form and honestly, I find it very uncomfortable and time consuming. in spite with this being said, I submitted the form last saturday with my digital signature and im still waiting for their reply about my submission. Ill let you guys know about it when it comes.
For the mean time, why dont you check out my post on how to make money online quick? Im sure youll learn a thing or two.
How To Make Money Online For Free Using Auctions
Posted by NurseJake Labels: teens make money, Tips on How Teens Make Money Online
What comes into your mind when you hear the word auctioning? Perhaps, the auction announcer that seem to talk like he can recite the whole content of the bible in two minutes flat, or the auctioned items that we see on TV ranging from the rarest of entities like biggest diamonds, or the most unusual of things like the one I saw where a woman is willing to cut her hair off and send it to the highest bidder. Auctioning is very interesting but hey, you can actually make money while online with auctions.
I came across a blog/site that tackles how to make easy money online with Ebay, the internet's leader in auctioning. Im not really familiar with Ebay but after going over the blog, I think im now ready to auction off a signed memorabilia of a local actress that i got during her visit to the city. Yes, thats how they offer the most comprehensive guide on how to monetize via Ebay. I am a strong advocate of making quick and fast money online but I think im going to venture on auctioning and im going to let you guys know more about it.
In connection to blogging, the site also offers advice and tips in monetizing your blog if you already have one. If not, you can check out their post about how to start your own blog and I have to say that you will find it easy to get a thing or two from them. Furthermore, the best post that I come to love about them is there post entitled blogging inspiration. If you're a money making blogger, you cannot help but sympathize with them on this one.
If others can do it, so can you.
Making money online is not easy (thats a fact!), some made it, why cant you? Just recently, I posted about my curiosity on why smorty stopped giving offers. Well, this problem is still unresolved as I have yet to confirm a definite answer for this question. But hey, lets forget about that for a while.
I Got Paid $100 By Smorty!
Yes lads! This was my previous posts for 2 weeks and i have to tell you, I have been very determined in making posts for them on my other PR4 blog. Fortunately, all my posts got approved though some had late approvals but hey, smorty pays on time and thats why I prefer to have them rather than PPP. Just to make things clear here, I am not paid to write this post.
If you are curious how to make money online as a teenager, come to familiarize yourself with the best ways on how teens make money on the internet.
This is a question that some of you might find interesting. Well, I just found the blog of the top attorneys in California that celebrities with the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan consult when they have their teenage issues to cover for. The lawyers name goes by the name of Dmitry Gorin, who works as a professor at UCLA and Pepperdine school and he frequently appears on the series Court TV. You can visit his blog here Los Angeles Criminal Defense Blog | California Criminal Attorneys Law Blog. This post was brought to you by our friends over at keglawyers.
Dont you just hate pop-ups? Well, youre not alone. If there was only an anti pop-up organization at our local city, there is no doubt in my mind, im going to be the president of that organization. I would be the first one to convict free online blackjack that sprout over the internet like wild mushrooms.
Let me tell you about my personal experience with this play blackjack on line offers. I was browsing the internet for an academic research once and before i knew it, alot of pop-ups was on my windows. They numbered from around eight to twelve simultaneous window openings. How agitating does that sound like? I mean youre on your own and dead serious about your research and suddenly you get bothered by this blackjack and casino offers around. I have to tell you guys, i was mad like hell. I stopped what I was doing and played basketball instead (i find it therapeutic).
This is just my experience and im sure you have yours too.
In addition to this one, if ever I would want to learn how to play black jack online, i dont have any site to explain the mechanics of the game. I was once enticed (more like fooled) to know how to play blackjack but once i visited the site, there was nothing more than random ads and this was when i told myself to let it go and that was exactly what I did.
It has been 4 straight days now that I didn't receive (more like found) any offer from smorty. I constantly check the site for offers that can be made for my 2 blogs that they have approved but this past few days, i think they have gone somewhere.
I do have around $80 to receive from them this coming week and im looking forward for a timely payment from them.
Smorty has been my steady money maker in the month of november and i made around $200 all in all since I started a few month ago. I suggest you should join them too!
Are you experiencing this issue as well? Let me know about it.
The poll that I have been running for a month now has just recently closed with the confirmation that majority of my visitors on this blog are teenagers.
Here's the breakdown of my visitors :
visitors aged 20 and above comprise 16% of this blog.
those who are 16-19 comprise 29%
and finally, the largest group is comprised of the 13-15 group with 54%.
What does this mean?
I derive my traffic from search engines especially from google and i think my search engine ranking helped this blog alot. I dont have that much traffic but I can say that every traffic is targeted and thats all i wanted. Im considering expanding my niche to improve my niche and attract more visitors.
Im still contemplating on my next poll, ill let you know about the next one to come. ;)
