@bestwriter I heard about homeopathy in these recent years, but I didn’t know they do not recommend drinking coffee.

I love both of them, coffee and Chinese tea or green tea. I am not addicted to them, but I just like to drink them. I used to drink coffee almost every morning before I started working, but I am fine not to drink any if I am not at work. It seems like it was helping me to start my work day. My family has the habit of drinking Chinese tea at home, especially during our free time, it’s like a family activity. We just sit there and have the tea while we are chit chatting or reading our own books.

I stopped drinking coffee more than 8 years ago, when I planned for my first pregnancy, as I read that coffee or caffeine is not good for the baby. After that I breastfed my baby, then the next baby, then the third now, so I haven’t been drinking even a sip of coffee since then. But I think I will start drinking again once I have stopped breastfeeding my third baby. 😀

@grecy095 Now I understand why you are so stressed about getting money. Hope your new job will be able to support you financially well.

@morgoodie Hope you will get a job you want soon. It really a hard work to move house. Glad to hear that your family and sister are supportive!

@swalia Hope you will be able to find a meaningful job that you love soon.

@lovern Good to hear that you are problem free now, and happy with your published posts. I just I have submitted 8 blog posts in total so far, and one is awaiting for approval.

@lolaze Sorry to hear that. I am not sure if they just forgot about it or they thought you are still not feeling well, so they didn’t invite you. Hope they do have good intention.

I feel so sorry for just finding out this thread. I hope things do get better for you all very soon. I always believe there’s a will, there’s a way. We can always find our ways out, but perhaps sometimes we just need to be more patient, and the sun will shine on us again very soon.

I will keep you all in my prayers too. Hope I can give you many hugs!! 🙂

I also did not remember when I joined the site, but I found it out from My History. Just go to the last entry, and you should be able to find the date and time there. Mine is 4 May 2016, 10:35pm, it was a coin for logging in. I guess that’s the first entry for every member here.

It’s interesting to give rating to the site and others. It triggers me to think.

Web Design – 3.5
It’s not so user friendly, it took me some time to navigate and find out how to work here. Moreover, the page loads quite slow.
I understand the team is working hard in improving the features, so this is acceptable to me. 🙂

Support & Admin – 5
I think the team is putting lots of effort to make the site better, responding to our questions and also finding ways to reward the members as well. It’s always great to have a supportive team, and admin that recognize and appreciate our work.
Moreover, the team is really open for suggestions, which is good.

Community – 5
I guess this is the main reason I stay here. When I first joined, there were just a few members, so I didn’t spend much time here. Slowly, there were more members joining to the site, it becomes more active and I started to feel like coming to the site more often and participate more too.

I guess the reasons that make me stay with the site is the community and also the team. Hope we will always have a friendly community, and supportive team too! 🙂

@swalia You are not only good at blogging, but also good at sharing and creating topics in forums. Those topics are really inspiring as well. 🙂

@dawnwriter Yes, I agree that it might take more effort at the beginning, but slowly when we figure out how to work well here and also get ourselves familiar with the site, it seems like it becomes much easier to work and earn here. Sometimes I like to set a goal here, but whether or not to achieve it or not, it doesn’t really matter much to me, especially for these online sites, as I would prefer to be relax and not too stress working here. I have other higher priority work to do. 😛

I enjoy posting in forums, though I agree that it might be more time consuming. It’s just nice to interact with others, and I do not need to think of any topics and contents to write. 😛

@peachpurple What do you mean by comments on blog post give an extra cent? I have not notice the change for the comment in blog post yet, I thought they are similar to the forum comments, which is according to the length as well.

Good that you have got referral signups. I have been wondering when we will get the referral commissions, whether we will get the 10% when we cash out, per day or per month. Let us know since you have referrals. 🙂

I am just working hard on getting referring visitors. It’s good to get some comments from them as well.

@nakitakona13 It’s not a long way to go, it seems like you are going to reach $1 very soon. Keep interacting in the forums, and you will make more friends around and gain more points too. 🙂

May 15, 2016 at 3:14 pm

@grecy095 Are you requesting for $5 or $10?

@swalia Yes, it’s sad that those sites didn’t even give prior notice and let us retrieve our posts there, which is really irresponsible. I didn’t expect Bubblews to shut down, as before it shut down, I even saw some new features and a new moderator, I think. I thought they were trying to make the site better. Then, after some time, I saw the close down message which really surprised me.

I got a few missing payments from Bubblews, over $100, but I got them all after requesting for the missing payment (before they went down hill), so I thought it’s a trusted site. Though I have lost the last few payments, I have also earned a lot from the site.

So, did anyone actually get paid by BMN? It seems like it’s a totally fraud as you guys mentioned.

@peachpurple Yes, I heard that some sites really get annoyed when they keep receiving emails from the members, though it’s understandable.

@grecy095 I have heard that Philippines people are very friendly, and really respect the elders and treasure the family, which I really admire.

As for me, I am from Malaysia, another country in South East Asia. It’s a multi-racial country, where there are mainly Malays, Chinese, Indians, and other races in the country as well. So, we have been learning about each others’ cultures and enjoy the festivals and food from different races here too.

One thing I really like about my country is that, there’s no natural disaster here, which is a blessing to us. Another great thing about my country is that, the weather is considered quite good throughout the whole year. Though I always like to enjoy the cold weather, it’s not too hot and not too cold in Malaysia.

I am not good at introducing my  country too. I guess there are always good and bad things, same as you, I prefer to talk about the positive side too.

By the way, I am a Chinese.

@swalia It’s really good of you to have consistently medidate daily.

I have always wanted to learn meditating, and tried to meditate on my own, but I found it’s not easy to do so, as I could easily be distracted. Until I attended a short Buddhist Zen meditation course last year, I really learned a lot from the short course. It helped me to learn the proper way of meditation, and now I can easily sit down and meditate without being distracted, even in a noisy environment. It may also be caused by I am more peaceful than I used to be, so I can focus easier than before.

I still haven’t get the habit of meditate daily. I think even 10 minute meditation a day helps me to stay calm and have peaceful mind too.

@grecy095 Yes, I agree with swalia. With practice, we can really keep calm and ignore the ambient noise. It took me some time to find the meditating method I am comfortable with too. Perhaps as swalia suggested, try with some guided meditation will help you to ignore the noise around you. Have you tried yoga? Though it’s not meditating, I think it’s a way to keep ourselves calm and in peace too.

@lolaze Congratulations on reaching your first dollar in such a short time here. I am not good at geting referral signups at all, so I can’t give you any advice. Hope someone will be able to tell us more about that.
I am trying to share my posts and also others’ posts in social media sites. Currently, I am just sharing the posts on twitter, google+, stumbleupon and sometimes tumblr. I am not sure where I get the more traffics from, I guess it’s twitter. I think by continuing sharing, and also following and reading others’ tweets will help me to gain more followers there too.

@slayer08 Yes, I think if we are active enough, especially with writing blog posts, we can earn $1 a day. My daily goal is making 50 cents per day, as I am also working on my freelance project at the same time. But, I hope I can try to write at least a post a day, that will really help me to earn faster.

@swalia You are doing really great! I guess you are really good at blogging and sharing very informative knowledge with us.

@dawnwriter I am sure you have already reached your first dollar! Congratulations. 🙂

@morgoodie Hope you have reached your $3.

May 15, 2016 at 8:50 am

@slayer08 Do you mean you just received the private message about the scam email? Some of us have received it a few days ago. I wonder if someone registered with different username and kept sending the PM again to the members here. I thought support has already taken action and removed the user.

Hope the scammers and spammers will leave us a peaceful and joyful place here. 🙂

May 15, 2016 at 8:42 am

@grecy095 Have you got paid yet? It’s already 15 May. Hope you have already got your payment.

Yes, I agree that it can be really discouraging when the site takes longer time to pay us. But, if the site is really promising, as it’s been paying for so long, I hope there’s nothing wrong with the payment, but it’s just that they are working on something else and are not able to get back to you very soon.

Chatabout recently paid later than they usually did too, I was also thinking if I am banned (due to the negative comments all around), but I am glad I finally got paid.

I did work on some sites that eventually not pay me. There was nothing else I can do, as those are scam sites, so I just to accept it, and not work on those sites anymore. I try to be more careful when joining a new site, but sometimes I’d still like to try it out, such as LiteracyBase and chatabout. I am not totally sure if I will get paid, of course I will be really happy if I do, but if not, then I will just move on. Sometimes I’m just trying my luck. 😀

May 15, 2016 at 5:06 am

@swalia I have not heard about BMN until recently. Sorry to hear that you have not been paid from the site at all. I agree that Bubblews was at least paying well at the beginning. I have no idea why they only realized the problem they have while paying too much to the members after so many big payments, and hence they have to close down eventually.

Is BMN still around? Are your posts still on BMN? Can you re-post them else where?

@ruby3881 Yes, I agree with you about the freedom of having personal blogs. I like how we can set up several sites in BlogJob, but I decided to reserve one topic for my personal blog about homeschooling. I would like to own the copyrights of those I am going to write about my homeschooling journey and experience, moreover I would like to have more freedom and control on what I am writing too. Moreover, I might write some in my own language, Chinese, and this is not accepted in most writing sites.

You really have a lot of experience writing online. Glad that we have you here, and we can always learn from you! Yes, I think we are always learning in our life journey, and it will never end. 🙂

I have read the book a few years ago when it was just published. Now, I actually do not really remember what the book was talking about, except it’s about Law of Attraction.

I believe in law of attraction, and lately I also believe things happen for a reason, and I see there’s no conflict between these. I always try to think positive, but it doesn’t mean things happen as we wanted it to be, but it might still be a positive outcome that we haven’t realize it at the moment. I always think I have always been a very lucky person since I was young. That does not mean I have all the good things and I have not experience any down time, but I think it might be the reasons that I keep thinking positively, I do not keep blaming, and I feel good about myself and others, and hence even though I might not be put in the perfect situation, I am still grateful for it. When I am in peace, I think things are just good around me.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I am positive all the time, sometimes I do have some negative energies too. But, I just learned to “transform” the negative to positive energies as quick as I can.

I just checked out the secret official site, people can submit their stories about how The Secret has helped them. If you are interested, you can read some of the stories there too – The Secret.

May 14, 2016 at 6:38 pm

@grecy095 That’s good. Pinterest seems to like a treasure hunt, and there are so much treasures for us to hunt for. 😀

Perhaps you can share some of your braiding work with us too. 🙂

May 14, 2016 at 6:25 pm

It’s a good and not so good day for me. 😀

I have bad stomach pain since last night, so I could not really sleep. But I am glad my baby is totally fine, as I think I have eaten something wrong that caused the stomach pain. Though it’s really painful, I am thankful that my two children understand how unwell I am, and they took care of themselves, and they even told me if I need their help, just wake them up. How sweet they are.

I went for pregnancy checkup today, more than 37 weeks. Both baby and I are healthy, and now we are just waiting for the baby to come and join us. 12 more days to go.

I am glad to have a 4 hour afternoon nap as I really needed it, and thankfully the children also played on their own without disturbing me.

Besides having the bad stomach pain and didn’t get to work much, it’s actually a good day! Hope I will be totally fine tomorrow. 🙂

@peachpurple Isn’t tomorrow Sunday? Your son still needs to go to school?

@swalia Good that it seems like a productive day to you!

@lolaze How’s your day going?

Yes, many of us received that spammed message as well, and the support already knew this. It is glad to hear that the member has been removed as well. Yes, I think we should report the spammer immediately and help to keep this site spam free.

I just do not understand how that spammer spotted this site, as it’s still not so popular yet. I would really appreciate if this community always be friendly and supportive.
