Shiny new stuff
I discovered some shiny new stuff on the web today.
First up, while chatting on Google Talk with Syafrizal Abu Mansor, who runs both Syaf the Geek and My Journey Into Life, Syaf mentioned two services which I hadn’t heard of: LinkyLoveArmy and Payu2blog. Both of these are ways of earning additional income.
I haven’t tried these; the only monetization I have in place at The Far Corner is Google AdSense. But I’d be interested to hear from anyone using either of these services - have you made any money using them?
Secondly, thanks to Chris Garrett of chrisg.com for sending me an invite to Pownce. Unfortunately, either Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) or the Pownce .air file crashes on me every time I run it (”the instruction at blah blah referenced the memory at blah blah. Click on OK to terminate the program”). Well, sure, it’s in alpha, but I think the folk at Pownce need to do a little better than that. And I was looking forward so much to trying it.
OK, back to watching the torrential river of rain in the street. Another weekend of typical Scottish weather, then…

Hi -
It sounds like you may be running an older version of the AIR runtime, which is now in beta 1.
Read the instructions here to uninstall the old version then reinstall the new version.

Mike, thanks for the fast response.
I downloaded AIR directly from the Pownce page. I’ve just checked it in “add or remove programs”, and it’s definitely Adobe AIR 1.0 Beta 1 that’s installed.
Grateful for any other ideas, though.

Pownce is great and cool too. But if for larger files you need to upgrade it hehe. I guess the free version is better too.

You should check out PayPerPost.com, I’m pretty sure they pay more than the service you mentioned in your post.

Until now, I considering adsense is still the best place to fund our website. Why? because, I haven’t try any program except adsense. Nowadays, I am considering to fund my blog with other programs, perhaps what [The Green Fairy] said is an example of good input for monetize our website/blog.

Baxter,
While I agree that PPP is at the top of the monetization game, I do recommend PayU2Blog as well. There are a number of companies that pay bloggers, but PU2B is remarkably consistent (and not too onerous) in their requirements.
