As a regular reader to my blog would have noticed – I’m now doing some paid posts opportunities to explore the possibilities of making some money online from blogging. Not that I need the money desperately since I’m quite handsomely rewarded in my day job as head of a department in a main board public listed company and my passion for kayaking is also financially quite rewarding. I’m very blessed in this regards; but I love what I do.

Anyway back to the concern(s), if any, with regards to me selling my soul for paid post(s) but it’s interesting to note that one could quite easily earn around USD300/- a month by doing just one (in my case) or two paid post(s) per day; and that’s over a thousand ringgit for 20 or so minutes 'work' a day– which is not bad pocket money considering that junior office clerks are earning much less than that in Kuching! If I’m a student and over 18 and I’m still in university – I’ll jump at this opportunity! That they don't is a mystery to me. Parents too rich or just too ignorant or lazy? Whatever.

Balanced development?

But I’m wary that doing too many paid posts may put some readers off but then again this is my blog and I’m just being true to what I’m doing. But I believe that the key is balance and I’ll try to be more selective about the kind of posts I choose to do. But then again I find it kind of fun to be posting on something that I would never have bothered about before and this forces you to read up on them and after a couple of posts; they seem to be easier to do and not such a drudgery after all! As in a lot of things in life - it's just how to choose to look at it.

We’ll see how things go and I’ll go with the flow. As usual; your feedback and comments is valued and most appreciated. Bought anything anyone?
