I'm BACK!!!
It's been ages since I posted. My last post was around October of last year, it's already April ...a good 6 month :D
So what happened during that time? I attempted and FAILED to get mogulinpajamas.com up and running. I got busy with work, lost my part time job, got busy with my full time job, tried joining another bazaar (we only broke even :-( ), slowly got bored with my full time job, received a new contract for that full time job, and then lost it TOO come March 2011. It was a roller coaster ride but one that made me realize how resilient I have become. Losing a job when one is single and with no savings is no joke, but it only took me an hour and half of mindless brooding, before I went ahead and started planning for a new venture. To say that it did not worry me would be a BIG LIE, because I did worry, but prayers can move mountains and it has helped me find the needed confidence boost I needed to get the ball rolling on my new online adventures!
It's been 22 days since I officially lost my job and 3 days since I decided I would STOP all efforts in finding a new one. Instead I am concentrating all my time and efforts in building and growing my new babies.
Check them out:
http://onlyladygaga.info- this is a lady gaga fan page and my testing site (a live lab rat sort of), if I want to tweak my other site, I test it here first. It's monetized too!
http://endanxietypanicattack.info/ - now this is the site I am most proud of right now. When I first started this affiliated marketing gig, I never even imagined me being able to create a decent website that is SEO optimized. But yes, this baby is optimized but not to the T. It's a work in progress...but I am happy with it already!
and lastly! I got approved for ADSENSE again!!! woot!
Any feed back good or bad about my websites are welcome!
BTW, mogulinpajamas.com is not dead, its just hybernating :-)

BIG MOVE!
Today (OCTOBER 20, 2010) ....errr....I mean tonight I officially registered mogulinpajamas.com. It's a big leap for me in my quest to find financial freedom through online endeavors. I have yet to find me some hosting but I already narrowed it down to mabuhayhosting.com and a premium hosting account provided by my present company. I have used mabuhayhosting in the past and I can say that the uptime is pretty reliable and its pretty cheap compared to other webhosting services available out there.
http://mogulinpajamas.blogspot.com/ will still exist here. That diva in my header is not going anywhere (AND ME, MYSELF and I just plain refused to GO! so I have no choice :p) , but I really wanted to create a website whose main function is to earn me money, hence the existence of www. mogulinpajamas.com.
What to expect from mogulinpajamas.com
* Articles on how to earn money online
* Tips on how to avoid being scammed
* Links to websites offering free lessons on affiliate marketing
* Articles and Tips on how to earn on Ebay and other online marketplaces
* Paid wholesale listing versus free lists sources
* Money saving tips
* other earning opportunities that I think are worth trying
WISH ME LUCK!!!

Grabbing the opportunity!!!
When I started this blog, I was serious in my intention to monetize it. That time I wanted nothing more but to earn my keep with my online business and blogs. A year has passed and my online business is at a standstill and I have yet to earn a cent from my blogs. The only consolation I have is that I am employed as a homebased researcher (a job that I love very much!). That and the fact that I now have access to loads of learning materials on how to go about building an online business. The more I learn the more I realize its no walk in the park. But at least I know what I am getting into... before I actually jump in. AND BESIDES I GET GET THE LESSON FOR FREE :D!

A Realization Not To Late in Coming (hopefully)
All it took was changing the way I search our database and I found myself neck deep in unprocessed supplier applications that need to be taken of ASAP. Around 2,902 of new supplier applications, 75$ of which I think are going to be China based companies.
This made me realize something, China, despite being a socialist country may one day be one of the richest country in the world and not because they might someday discover that they are sitting on a an oceanful of black gold. Nope, China's greatest asset are its people, all one billion of them. Majority of whom thinks entrepreneurship is the way out of poverty.
If you come to think about it, when a Chinese immigrate to another country, they work hard so that they could one day own their own business. But when Filipinos, travel to another country, they also work hard, but that's the end of it. Few strive to put up their own business. The dream ends in buying a house and sending the kids to good schools so that they too will one day find good jobs so that they could buy their own house and send their kids to good schools, and so the cycle continues!
Very few strive to go beyond that, what's worst is that children today are being raised and educated to be just like that, a good employee. Excellence are based on how good you are at memorizing your lessons, doing your homework and reciting in class. Gone are the days when you graduate from high school with real tangible skills you can utilize to your advantage if your one of the many who can't afford college. Very few parents encourage entrepreneurship, all think that selling wares on the street is a lowly job. I tell them....excuse me, but I know a street vendor who earns around 800-1,000 a day (this is net income) selling fishballs, buko juice and qwek-qwek. He works Monday-Friday from 3pm to 7pm. How many clerks and call center agents make that much? working less than 8 hours a day with weekends off and very little overhead? Yes its hard work, specially during the typhoon season when he is exposed to the elements. But last I heard, he has fully paid for a brand new motorcycle he uses for his business and his almost finish paying off his house mortgage. If he were a minimum wage worker, even if he works 7 days a week, it would still take him years before he could afford a down payment for a low cost house.
So what am I saying here, the Filipinos are by nature entrepreneural, just look at how Multiply.com was forced to finally change their business from a social networking site to a social networking site and online marketplace. The year round bazaars are also a testament to that, not to mention every manongs and manangs out on the street peddling everything from ice cold mineral water, candies, mani and chicharon....and yes, how I forget the balut and penoy and tahoooo!!!
I think for us to go from being a third world country to becoming a first world country, we should stop thinking of creating workers and start thinking of creating entrepreneurs! How we think about poverty alleviation must change. Its time we start teaching kids, that no matter what you do for a living you could be an entrepreneurs. Farmers are not just farmers, their entrepreneurs engaged in the manufacture of food.
Just look at the Chinese, many of the most successful Taipans today started out on the street selling their wares. But they refused to stop at just merely earning a decent living. They strive hard and worked harder to grow their business. They value hard work, is not ashamed to sweat it out and are proud of their roots. And when they go overseas, they don't just aim to earn a decent wage, they aim to conquer the world and turn the tables around by being the master instead of being the slave!

Making Money Online
Anybody who thinks they can get rich sitting in front computer of their would kill me for my job ...ok not kill but maybe bribe :D.....but no that won't work for me!!!. I say pay the fees and do the crunch work...that's the only way it would work. As for me....the more I learn about the more I realize how hard and how much time this so called gurus put into creating their empire....it's scary. Trust me its no walk in the park. But if their claim to earnings are true....then it's all worth it. As for me..... its tempting but I am not sure I got what it takes!!!
