I took my last three tablets for my cough and fever today. Although I feel I have fully recovered from whatever that hit me since the past one week, I took the medicine anyway… for good measure.
It feels good returning to my former healthy self. I feel refreshed and fully recharged, like a newly-serviced 4WD truck — with new engine oil, new air filter, all the rust checked and removed, the brakes in tip top condition and the body washed, shined and waxed. And polished.
All fired up
And most important of all is that I can feel the fire re-igniting in the belly and there is a strong urge to resume what I love doing, and that is going online and blogging.
I feel like a man addicted to tobacco, who was being deprived of the nicotine for a week, and was finally given all his favourite brand of cigarettes to smoke at will. I know its a bad comparison, but that is how I feel right now. I’ve been a smoker and I know how it was like to be deprived of the cancer stick.
I no longer smoke though. I’ve quit for already two years after chain-smoking for 20 years. Not a bad feat huh? Quitting smoking is something. Quitting at the very height of addiction is another.
Blogging is therapy
Anyway, back to blogging. You know what? During the time I was bedridden, I still think about blogging, about what I could have done all the while, and how I should approach my blogging activities from now on.
Things are certainly looking up at the moment. Apart from my new found vigour, there are also some tangible results from my blogging activities that helps fire the enthusiasm.
Some blogging update
Text link sold. First, I received an e-mail that someone has bought a text link from one of my blogs today. Although it’s not much in terms of the price, it’s a guaranteed payment months after months so long as the link is not removed from my blog.
It’s what you call a passive income. You sell one text link and that’s it. You’d get paid monthly for forever so long as you don’t remove the link from your blog or so long as the buyer wants the link to remain on your blog.
My Chitika|Premium is seems to be also looking up. It has been giving me a small amount of money every other day and this convinces me I must have done something right with it. The only thing to do now is to replicate what I’ve been doing to make the trickle larger.
And then I’ve also launched a new blog. Well, it’s not really new. I’ve bought the domain name in May this year and soft-launched the blog in June. But that was it — a soft launch, and nothing had happened ever since.
Now, I’ve refurbished the blog, done the desigining, decided on the niche and it is now ready for a very hard launch.
Google Ads. Well, as you know Adsense is Adsense. It performs quite very so-so across all of my blogs. However, I’ve just reached the magic number where I can now claim my payment from Google.
However, I’ve chosen not to claim the money for the time being because I want to let it grow to a certain amount before claiming them. Claiming the Google Adsense money would be easy, you just need to register with the Western Union to do so.
Paid reviews. As I mentioned in many of my previous posts, I’ve stopped doing paid reviews. There are several good opportunities out there but I chose not to take them because I’m not comfortable with the requirement to embed the “in-post” disclosure.
So, that’s it folks. For now. More active blogging soon.
