About Me


Hi there,


My name is Allen and I'm currently a student that has a lot of free time on his hands. I have a lot of free time because I am now in my thesis stage so I only go to school when it's time for consultations. Most of the time, I'm just at home being online. This blog will be about my life experience on trying to make money online.

I like reading articles, blogs or anything that can be read online, well except for technical papers since I only have a short attention span for those kinds of stuffs. In one of those days where I was just surfing around websites, I discovered something interesting, earning money online is possible?

I first stumbled upon the idea of making money online about one year ago. I was very gullible then. I did not know about scams and believed any advertisements I saw. Upon spending lots of time in clicking ads then at the end, knowing that it was all in vain, I lost interest. I decided that earning money online is nothing but a lie. Imagine clicking ads for three to four months everyday just to discover at the end that you get nothing but wasted time and effort.

After a few months, I decided to join again these "get-paid-to-click-programs". This time, I was not as gullible as before. I even researched about these programs to see if they really pay or not. A few weeks later, I realized, these "get-paid-to-click-programs" are biased towards US traffic and those people (just like myself) who live outside will get only pennies or cents for their efforts. I mean, is there a difference I click here in the Philippines that the clickers in the USA? Why do they get more when they click? So in the end, I decided that are not worth my time. I could get more money working offline than earn cents by clicking. This marks another failure for me.

I have already failed twice but I did not stop. I continued to browse the web for opportunities on making money online and came upon blogs of these people who earns thousands of dollars per month just by blogging. I was very amazed (and jealous of course haha). I decided to browse their sites and learn from their experiences. As of this time, I can say that I have learned a lot and through this blog, I shall share what I've learned and put into practice what I've learned. This time I'm not going to fail. I'm going to succeed in making money online!
