Cowboy Caleb recommends NuffNang
and Text Link ads to earn money from your blog
If you spend all your time online, play online poker to make some money.
Dear Bloggers,
As you may have realized by now, being a blogger somehow magically bestows the magic dust of journalistic benefits upon you. Before your head swells up to the point of no return, here are a few words of friendly advice for when you attend media events.
You are not a journalist. What you are, is [...]
This is an interesting twitter hack, which I discovered when I replied to Ariel Tam’s sacrilegious suggestion to mix fruit with beer.
What you need to is twitter something, as long as the phrase “Spanish Inquisition” is inside your tweet.
Wait a bit, and Cardinal Fang will auto tweet the following:
I’m not sure if you get the [...]
Dear Asshats,
If you look at top of my blog, you’ll see that I’ve added a Social Bar (powered by Google) so that I can interact with you, you can interact with me, and we can discuss and plan all kinds of deviant behavior that normal members of society frown upon we can hang out.
All you [...]
I get pitched by PR folks alot these days.
Some are very nice like LEWIS who give me free Blackberry phones in exchange for moblogging with it.
Others Most are rather clueless… sending me multiple press releases, asking me to ‘participate’ in blogger-centric(?) surveys and shamelessly asking me to plug their products – these I click on [...]
I’ve recently gotten a new imaginary friend in the form of Blankanvas, who is professionally tasked with advancing social media in Singapore. We had a very interesting conversation online the other day in which she made me realize that my blog is actually a magazine.
The most crucial factor for your blog’s success which you [...]
Analyzing your feed traffic statistics is one of the more daunting tasks for me. Since I have my own server, any traffic that comes directly to my blog is pretty straight forward. However, an estimated 890-something folk view my posts through my blog feed which is separate from my site. Getting a good idea of [...]
I’ve just integrated my Twitter account into the top of my blog. Since Twitter is micro-blogging, I’ll be updating regularly via my Blackberry mobile anytime/anywhere so everybody will be able to read my stream of conscious thoughts.
If you have a twitter account, do add me to your friends list and I’ll add you as well.
For [...]
I thought I’d like to take some timeout here to say thank you to all my readers for choosing to visit my blog everyday. Several things have been happening that I wasn’t aware of until recently. These things are patterns that indicate a very loyal readership. And I’ve only just realized how loyal you are.
The [...]
I checked my paypal account and nearly fell off my chair today.
The revenue from Text Link ads last month came to a total of nearly USD100. That’s the largest single payout I’ve evar received from an advertisement company for just a month.
The best part is that I still havent figured out where they [...]
I’ve always been a stalwart user of Bloglines, a web-based RSS feed reader which is my weapon of choice to read the massive sea of feeds from my favorite blogs every (other) day. Even with the massive popularity of Google Reader which competes directly in the same space, I’ve stuck with Bloglines because I prefered [...]
Hey all you bloggers already on Nuffnang (if you haven’t signed up, please do so now), here’s another way to increase the money you earn from your blog.
If you’re reading this from my RSS feed, please take a minute to digest my little rant here.
Since RSS went mainstream and people started reading blog feeds instead of blogs, things have gotten a little crazy. I estimate that thousands of folk (according to my server logs and feedburner) are now reading Cowboy Caleb directly [...]
The Straits Times recently asked for an interview on my views on Nuffnang.com.sg because I had signed-up and been tooting the horn about them non-stop. They had asked for a meet-up but I was travelling so it had to be done via email.
This time I was much more polite (compared to my previous outing).
Here are [...]
If you were so inclined to place web 2.0 style buttons on your blog, look no further. Oh and here is my very old (but still working) link to an email icon generator.
Yes, pink is the new black.
With NuffNang all over my friends’ blogs now… I do sometimes wonder – how nice would it be if I have some form of advertising on my blog. How nice? Not that I’ve spent any money on maintaining this outlet of mine, but it would be nice to make some money out of it anyway.
I [...]
Have you subscribed to my blog feed?
(If you haven’t please do so now)
If you have subscribed, then you’ll notice that there’s a copyright notice appearing at the bottom of every post/feed item. I’m a little tired of weird fly-by-night sites scalping my feeds and having my posts appear in other blogs as if somebody else [...]
I have officially joined Nuffnang.com.sg as a Blog Ambassador.
The founders of NuffNang, Ming and Timothy met up personally with me in mid-March 2007. I did the usual obnoxious act (changed venue at the last minute, ordered a steak, asked probing difficult questions and let them pick up the cheque). I’m glad to report that they [...]
