Make Easy Money Online
That’s when the question drops in that do you want to make easy money online? If the answer is yes then there is one warning: By nature all humans are greedy, if you cannot control your greed you will still make money but will never make easy money. This is different than making extra money, as I’ve already talked about how you can earn extra money in my previous articles. However, it’s only different when you look at it from the perspective I want you to, which is the money-maker’s perspective.
I can see the words coming out of your other ear. What I was trying to say was that you can never make money to your maximum capability if you’re resting. When you’re greedy, your greed want let you take work easy and hence you will make more money but it will not be easy.

A Quick Update On My Exams
May 8th, 2010I have not been able to blog for a while now, you might have noticed that. The reason is that, off the internet, I’m just like any ordinary kid who has to give exams. I’m in Grade 11, AS level and 11th marks the start of my cambridge examinations.
I scored 10 A’s in my o levels and definitely have to maintain those A grades. Though there are only 5 subjects this time, but it is much more difficult as compared o the previous level.
I’m appearing in the Maths, Economics, Accounting, Business studies and thinking skills papers. So getting those 5 A grades is my main concern at the moment. As I type this, I have my thinking skills book open next to my netbook begging for me to read it.
Other than that, since the last time I posted, 3arn.net has progressed quite well. It is getting over 800 visitors daily and gets a lot of pageviews too. The main reason being that it is ranking number 1 for the term “make money on the internet“.
This had been my main aim since I started blogging, and it calls for a more detailed write-up which I shall do soon. Bottom line, I am in quite a very tense position right now. Please, wish me luck and pray that I succeed in my examinations. I’ll start writing as soon as I get time between my exams. 
Moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com Disappeared?!
April 26th, 2010Most of you already know about moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com. It is one of the authority blogs in the ‘make money online’ niche. When I entered this niche in 2008, I kept a strict eye to the google search engine result pages.
This website, moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com has been ranking amongst the top 5 for the keyword ‘make money online’ for more than 2 years now. The person running the blog, Liew Kum Cheng has been writing for it consistently ever since.
It had around 1-2 new posts everyday. People used to write guest posts on it, even I’ve written a guest post on it last year. I don’t know that when this happened but I just thought of checking out the blog after a long while and got a bad surprise.
The blog no longer exists! 
Or in Google’s words:
The blog you were looking for was not found.
But isn’t this unfair? I hear you buddy. Remember what happened to me two years ago? In case you don’t, blogger suspended my account with 12 of my fully functional blogs. This isn’t really new. However, I wasn’t expecting this to happen a really popular blog. It was easily getting close to 2000 unique visitors a day, most probably I’m understating.
It was making a lot of money. Being number 1 for the keyword ‘make money online’ isn’t small you know. It made a lot of money. Plus, it was ranking in the top 3 for many other top keywords as well. I tried to check why this happens.
The reason would always be insufficient to call for the action of suspension for the blog as in my case as well. I have already emailed Liew asking what happened. He would definitely be involved in sending a gazillion mails to google.
This would be definitely a big loss for him. My sorrows are with him. All those who are still running on blogger.com, I think that it is about time that you start moving towards your own self-hosted blog.
This loss can be estimated in the $XX,XXX range. Such was the worth of the blog. So, blogger.com is definitely not a recommended choice for anyone looking to get into blogging anymore. The risks far outweigh the benefits. The choice is yours.
Update: The blog is now back up. I don’t really see a difference on it neither have I heard back from the author. I’m just glad it’s back again. 
Hey You, Join My Facebook Fan Page!
April 14th, 2010In the infamous attempt to stalk communicate with my readers and fans, I created this really lean facebook page. It’s pretty basic and lacks much fans now, 38 as of now.
I’ve been getting dozens of facebook friend requests lately and it becomes quite hard to cope with so many readers and fans on my actual profile. I cannot engage in a proper discussion to questions and problems.
I have not yet installed a forum with my blog yet. So meanwhile, if anyone needs any help in making money, you could always head over to the facebook fan page. I’ll try to be active over there.
Why should I join the fan page?
- If you need help with earning money online.
- If you want to communicate with me.
- If you want to interact with other 3arn.net readers.
- If you’re interested in learning and sharing.
- To stay updated with new posts at 3arn.net.
- You’re simply a fan, you don’t need a reason to join.
I have added the facebook widget in the blog’s sidebar, it shows the fan count and gives you an option to become a fan. I know it’s pretty neat. Alternatively, below is the link to fan page.
I need your help!
Yes, you. I need to get more fans for the facebook fan page of 3arn.net. I know I can’t do that alone.
First, join the fan page.
Second, suggest the fan page to friends of yours.
Third, pat yourself on the back and enjoy the warm and fuzzy feeling that you get after doing a good job.
Let’s get this going people. I thank you in advance.
P.S. It is still new, so drop a comment and let me know what you think about the fan page. Any suggestions and recommendations would be great too.
UPDATE: The link to the facebook fan page has been removed due to a boycott on facebook. You can read more about it here.
Anonymous Blogging Vs. Conventional Blogging
April 11th, 2010
Mr. Anonymous
An anonymous blogger is one who blogs under a pen name. He doesn’t reveal his identity to the readers, doesn’t matter what the reason is. Since I started blogging I have seen quite an increasing trend to this.
Conventional blogging is, well, just normal blogging where you don’t hide your identity from the readers. There may be a million and one ways why people choose the anonymity way to blogging, I will not be getting into that. But I will just be analyzing the merits and demerits of choosing to blog anonymously.
Instead of having you read through a huge pile of text, I’ll take the privilege to present it to you in form of a table.
| # | Anonymous Blogging | Conventional Blogging |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Not suitable if you want to build a community on your blog and increase interaction from the users who visit your website. | Much more suitable and reader-friendly in terms of receiving feedback from the visitors and creating interaction on your blog. |
| 2 | Hardly any chances of becoming some kind of an authority blogger or a ‘mover’ in your niche due to your anonymity. | Since you’re giving users a much better way to get to know you, a ‘real’ person’s opinion would also matter to them and you have a much better chance of having some importance in your niche.  |
| 3 | Quite odd chances of making blogging friends unless you reveal your identity. I mean, you can’t be anonymous and a friend at the same time! |
If you’re a friendly kind of a person and allow your readers access to your profiles on social networks, you might as well make some very helpful blogging friends. |
| 4 | Much harder to build user trust. This is very important if you’re trying to sell something on your blog or are trying to collect your reader’s email addresses. People are becoming more concerned about spam and scams. | When you get personal with your readers, your trust builds automatically. The problogger’s successful launch of his ‘31 Days to better blogging’ is a good example of the trust and authority factor on the success of an e-book launch. |
| 5 | You’re in a much safer position to try something shady.So, you can go ahead and try those traffic logs and other shady traffic ideas because even if you get caught you’re not losing reputation. | This is a big NO for the not-so-anonymous bloggers. Your reputation count goes to negative if you try something shady, others will think of your website as spammy and you have almost to recover from that. |
| 6 | There are times when you just want to go too controversial and expose some bad side of a kind of a big blogger. When you’re blogging anonymously, you are in the most safe position because any flaming from them would just be hitting a blank face. | You have to watch your mouth. The blogosphere is a big community you might not want to trash-talk and seem like the rude and arrogant blogger in the community and turn your blogging experience into a hell. |
| 7 | Better for MFA website. If your website is one of those throw-away websites that you make just for adsense then I would advise you to go for anonymous blogging. You can simply put up any type of content and make money. No worries about that. | Not to mention, the nonsense content we marketers put up there. You don’t want to lose your reputation again and get flamed by people accusing you of trying to ‘make monies’ and providing them low-quality content. |
| 8 | Just not suitable for branding, in most cases. | Perfect for branding. Provided that you choose a good domain name, make yourself and your blog brand-able. |
That’s it for this little comparison between the two blogging ways that you could adopt. Now while I provided you with a more obvious side of the anonymous blogging thing.
For a new blogger wanting to achieve success, I would definitely recommend conventional blogging. There are many, many, many bloggers on the internet which may be a million times better than me at blogging and making money, and they are blogging anonymously.
My comparison was for the average start-up blogger because everybody does not have terrific humor like Internet marketing sucks or mastermind seo ideas like Slightly Shady SEO which cut out the anonymity part for the average reader.
So, go through this list again if you’re one of the double-minded people who just can’t decide which one is better.
P.S. You would NEVER want to reveal your identity on an money making auto blog. Take my word on this one. *gulps*
Yay, 3arn.Net is now a PR4
April 4th, 2010There are usually four google pagerank updates every year. That is, one in every quarter. !st of January, 1st of April, 1st of July, 1st of of October. Sometimes, Google skips an update and sometimes Google goes above the mentioned date while releasing the new pageranks through out the data centers.
I checked my pagerank on 1st April, I didn’t see any change. It was still PR3, I was thinking that there might have been a change but my pageranks just did not change. I did not check on the 2nd of April.
Yesterday, 3rd of April, I was on this random website which gathers all the data about your website like links, PR, Alexa rank, etc. and then tells you the value of your website. It was not until that, when I saw a 4 in front of the pagerank column.
Thinking it might be some flaw in that website, I rushed to several places to check the pagerank and turns out that I was right. My pagerank really did move from a pagerank 3 to a Pagerank 4. There really had been a pagerank update!
I wasn’t really expecting this, but I think that I should have. Over the past couple of months my search traffic from Google has taken an upward trend and my website is now getting better and more stable in the Google search engine result pages.
I used to have a lot of people on my blog striving to get on the top commentators list that I have in the sidebar. Where are they? I’m sure anyone would be interested in getting a PR4 link from the sidebar widget now , just through a little bit of commenting.
I’m not sure if I would be able to make it, but now, obviously my next target is a PR5. I’ll be needing tons of help with that. By the way, if you don’t know what Pagerank is, or want to know how to get a good pagerank then check out my article: How to get a good pagerank.
