Last time I got extra $125 from TrialPay, now it’s $131.50. Yeah baby! That’s what I’m talking about.

It’s simply fantastic. If you have a digital product to sell, I urge you to give TrialPay a try. And they recently introduce an affiliate system, where other people can promote and sell your product for a little bit of commission. Really kewl!

I also made a few sales from a few of my internet stores. Yes! I have several internet stores selling various products. I started those internet stores early this year and now I’m seeing the result Will let you guys know more on this later.

Guess what? I bought a Sony Vaio today! I’ve been saving my extra money that I got from my internet business and finally today… I bought my dream laptop

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor U7700 (1.33 GHz)
2GB Ram, 120GB HDD
11.1″ Clear Bright High Color LCD
Genuine Windows Vista®
Color: Ruby Red
Weight: 1.2kg

I’m so excited!

Oh by the way, got my 5th Text Link Ads sold a few days ago on my Healthy Lifestyle Blogzine Two sales from Ultimate Supertips, and a few Page Peel Ads sales. I also did a Pay Per Post opp for $9 yesterday.

My next target is a multimedia projector

There are 4 Text Link Ads on my health blog. And for March, I received $25.47 out of them.

And the blog got upgrade to PR2 again! How weird…

Oh I’m glad that I joined Text Link Ads. Free monthly money for me

On March 18, 2008, I received an email that reads “An Advertiser has Purchased a Review - Response Required” as the subject. Guess what? An advertiser actually interested in me, giving their product a review. It’s not on this blog though. It’s for my other blog. My health related blog. They actually agreed on $75 for the review!

I accept immediately. Do some research about the subject, and start doing my article. It’s about herbal tea I receive my payment on March 27, 2008.

This is made possible by SponsoredReviews. If you have a good blog with good content, consider joining this service. You can make some extra money from it. And if you are an advertiser wanting to promote your website or products, you can also join this service.
