I though that with the recession my online income will drop due to reduction in marketing budget, but it will be soften with the good exchange rate of RM3.60 to USD1.00. Fortunately,  my online income actually increase and with the better exchange rate, I am actually doing at all time best. It is now closer to my goal of $100/day with adsense. The main increase I g ot is from altering my adsense layout on a website and also increase of few websites into my portfolio.

Therefore, I strongly others to take chance to change the adsense layout like change colors, changing banner size and now we could also pick few 3 available fonts. You may not notice your full potential of the adsense until you had try others. On top of that, because regular visitor may know that advertisements are always place on the same location and same shape, they tend to avoid looking/reading it. This increases my CTR and result in a higher earning.

Increase of new website deem profitable, and I have more to come but this is not as much as the above strategy. It still contribute to the total online earning.

I hope that all of you out there are also doing better each month as I am working harder throughout weekend taking Internet Marketing and Online Venture as my second job for side income. Remember to Stay Strong.

I think this is a hard time for some people all around the world due to recession. So I would like to take this opportunity to share with you guys a great video forward by my colleague. Introducing Nick Vujicic’s life without limbs. It shows us that we should not give in life and will strive to finish strong no matter what happen now.

This made me searching more of Nick’s motivating video and I have actually found more and a lot more. Here is my personal favorite. It is a compilation and ended with a talk with a pastor in a church.

There is also a three part motivational talk by Nick, trying to motivate hundreds of people.
Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

I hope this post will keep you guys out there to be strong and never give up in your life, your job, your family, and yourself.

It seems that there is some connection problem with my Internet connection lately and I tried calling 100 trying to get clarification. But it only gives me more disappointment because the the call just drop with an engage tone after dialing 100, then 2 (for english) and 2 (for Internet Service). Sad enough to say, that their customer service is also down.

Then only to find out from their website that it is due to circuit fault on the Asia Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN2). But it takes 15 days to fix/re-route their network connection.

It has been long since I last visited 45n5′s Top 100 Make Money Online Blog. But it is now forwarded to Digital Product Reporter. I wonder if the blog did a transfer ownership because everything seems very different and 45n5 was suppose to be without any advertisements but the first thing you see now is a large rectangular Adsense block.

Anyhow, the good news is that I am now listed at number 85 ranking. I manage to get there mainly because of good technorati ranking.

Although this blog is not earning much money, but this is a great motivation for me to keep looking and thinking about stuff to write for my readers.
