What has blogging brought?
I’ve been blogging since late 2003 but I never enjoyed posting entries back then. It’s because I hardly can think of topics to blog about.
There’s no WordPress back then. I signed up on blogspot but I never had a single entry on it. (Well, as far as I can remember). And besides, I did not like its features. And since WordPress was not yet out, I had to create my own CMS. But again, I didn’t have any topics to discuss so I’ve just been updating the backend scripts almost everyday. I had fun!
Being a regular visitor of Yuga’s and Albrine’s blogs (I miss this guy already), I got an idea of monetizing a blog and earn extra income thru AdSense. And after years of no income, Yuga helped me out and started to convert my blogging into some amount.
I got my first AdSense Check few months ago and for me it’s big enough. We dined at Bubba Gump for the first time; we bought a wooden cabinet (at last), I treated my friends out a month after my birthday; in short, we were able to pamper ourselves a bit. Excitement and joy I felt.
Since then, my earnings became even higher and it made me more interested in blogging. Although what I’m earning is still incomparable to what the others earn. 
Now, I again have few months’ savings on AdSense and since we have two kids already, we figured that it now makes sense if we buy our own car. Our First car. (Seems like my dream is coming true now, eh?) We are planning to start with a used car and maybe upgrade little by little until we avail a new one.
While my AdSense savings is not enough for a used car, we decided to loan some amount and let AdSense pay for it every month.
Now, I only hope that we make a right decision on choosing a car. I am no grease monkey so I need your help.
- How much budget do you think is ideal for buying a used car?
- What factors do I need to consider in choosing a car?
- What tips would you advise that I should do when we already have the car? (Maintenance tips)
Before I end this, I just want you to know that earning from blogging is just the result. What makes the passion alive is your little time spent reading this blog and the mindset to earn more friends online and offline through blogging.
Buy a car only if you have excess money and its a necessity to have one.
I think you can make more of your adsense earning by saving it for your family and kids.
i appreciate you advice. i don’t have excess money but i think it’s a necessity to have one.
Check out J. Angelo’s personal blog:) I think he got help from buying a second hand car with his blog savings.
