Entrecard Fail: And just like that…

I have been with Entrecard, I believe, since 2008. And I was very active then, I was blog hopping and dropping ECards like crazy. Joining blog contests giving away ECard credits as prizes, and eventually I was even sponsoring some contests giving my own earned ECards as prizes so I my blogs can get exposure.

But like most things, which can only excite you in the beginning, I began to lie low in my entrecard transactions. I am not as active as I was before. I had a falling out, so to speak. Yet, I still maintain my account, believing that the system can still do me some good… until the recent Entrecard fail.

What do you mean, not original?

Since one of my aim was to earn money online through blogging, I have signed up in different affiliate sites that allows bloggers to meet some companies online who are looking to hire bloggers for review of their products or services.

One of those that I have signed up with is Social Spark, I have been with them since 2008. It was in fact one of those sites that I have signed in during my initial quest to earn through blogging by writing paid posts.

But while it was one of the earliest, two years with them and I still haven’t earned a cent. While I am getting a moderate income from other sites because I do get writing opportunities from them, I have yet to get my first opps from Social Spark.

How NOT to earn Money OnLine

I am sure that you have seen and read those “How to earn Money OnLine” post where you are often bombarded with “get-rich quick” schemes like money will flowing out of your nose. Well, you know that say when something is too good to be true – most probably, it is.

Anyway, this is exactly the opposite. It is HOW NOT TO EARN MONEY ONLINE which is really very easy to do – DO NOTHING.

You do not really earn by doing nothing, you will earn only if you DO SOMETHING, even if others will say otherwise.

What merited this post really, and I am a perfect example, is an email I received from CPALead where I was informed that they are closing my account, for the reason being “due to inactivity.”

Is PayingPost a scam?

I have waited… and I have waited, despite of what happened to me, I still gave them the benefit of the doubt.

But up to this time, I still do not receive any reply nor payments from them. That is why I can’t help but ask this question… Is PayingPost a scam?

Just in case you are wondering, why am I talking about PayingPost and yet the logo shows BlogAdvertisingStore. They started out as PayingPost and later changed their name to BlogAdvertisingStore, perhaps because they sounded too much like Pay Per Post.

Anyway, like I said I have waited long enough for them and I believe this blog post would be more than justified.

I signed up with PayingPost way back in 2008, and from their about and faq pages, I learned that they have a minimum of $100 requirement before they make any payout.

Okay, their rules. No big deal. I can always just think of it as saving some money, and withdrawing one time once I earned enough.

While I signed up in 2008, there were not really much opportunities then. I believe, 2008 ended with only $10 in my account with them.

Again, no big deal. I always believe earning money online is not an overnight thing.
