Today is the official birthday for my new blog - StevenWongBlog.com (also is my birthday).

I have created a post about what this blog’s role and direction. Feel free to read from there.

Check out the video there, I borrowed from someone else. Thank god! It’s mentioned my name there.

Last check found out the video owner not allow the video to be shared.. too bad.

A wordpress plugin that allows your blog readers to buy you a beer (coffer or any drink) via PayPal. This plugin was developed by Ankesh Kothari.

This is not a new idea of generating additional income for your blog. Previously it is rather called PayPal donation button.

The new Buy Me A Beer – PayPal donation plugin come with different button rather just a donation button. You can either add it on the sidebar or at the bottom of all posts.

If you are putting on the sidebar via widgets, you might need to download another plugin called Exec-PHP which allows you insert PHP code at sidebar widgets.

I stumbled across Shoppingmum’s blog when I am claiming a new blog profile for my new blog. Seems like many bloggers are making money from PayPerPost. However, not much information I can gather when I visited her about page.

All I knew was: she is stay-at-home mom who loves shopping, blogging, she is raising up two kids, Justin and Isabelle. She is buddy to Lilian Chan and they always chat on MSN during the late night (according to Lilian Chan blog).

Amy or also known as Shoppingmum finally hit the USD10K mark at PayPerPost today. We are blog buddies and often we are on MSN in group chats through those long, lonely nights. When PayPerPost is most active, it is usually 3 am to 4 am here in Malaysia. First, congrats to Amy! She is a mom with two little kids and yet, she managed to do it. If you look at her spending and her niche blogs with designer goods, you will know that Amy didn’t do it for the money. It is more like a challenge for her and a few of us.

Congratualates to Amy and I can see it is a good sign showing more and more Malaysian bloggers who are making money online. I look forward to see more and more news from Malaysian bloggers doing well in blogosphere.

If you want to get paid for blogging like her, you can sign up PayPerPost now.

Updates:

One of my readers doubt about earning money by writing. What I can tell you it is possible to make money from PayPerPost.
