2nd Nuffnang Cheque received – RM830.67
| Share |
Happy day! I received my 2nd cheque from Nuffnang. This time, it’s a HUGE payout – RM830.67!! It is also the biggest amount I have received from Nuffnang so far. My first Nuffnang cheque was was RM238.67. What a coincidence, both cheques had sixty-seven cents lol. So, after adding the latest amount, I have earned my first thousand with Nuffnang 
I did purposely accumulate the earnings until this amount, so that it would add up to a thousand.
FYI, I cashed out end of May 2008 and received the cheque this morning. It took approximately one month. So, Nuffnang is well in the payment terms.
It’s all sheer hard work (of non-stop eating) and special thanks to my readers who have been amazingly supportive of my food blog. The most important part to earn with Nuffnang is to establish consistent traffic to your blog. And having a lot of patience! I will share a few methods I use to drive traffic to my blog:
-
1. Participate in active forums. Add a link to your blog and your interesting articles in your signature. I am most active in MyKopitiam forums and I receive at least 10-20 visitors to my blog just using this method. 10-20 visitors a day seem little. But, it is already enough to place you in line for ad campaigns!
-
2. Exchange links with blogs that have higher/same traffic as yours. It will do its own job of referring visitors.
-
3. Leave comments on popular blogs and websites. It is easy to do and extremely effective. A comment I left a few months ago in a popular blog is currently my blog’s top referrer. It is unbelievable how a simple comment can drive traffic!
-
4. SEO optimization. Learn how to use keywords in your posts and title and meta tags to drive traffic from popular search engines like Google, Yahoo and Live. Frankly, SEO is not tough to learn.
I treat my blog as a small “business”. To earn from the “business”, you need investments. So, I am going to “invest” some of my earnings to eat more and to blog more lol. Thanks again Nuffnang!

Thanks
Darren’s last blog post..Miracle
vk: You would need about 600-800 visitors daily, at least. Traffic is one thing.. you also need to have good contents to attract advertisers to actually order an ad campaign for your blog

Do u necessary to taste all the food to be posted in your blog by yourself? I think you can get the participation from food lovers to send you the photos on the food.
Like some of the hawker food in Penang, you can actually get the photo from your friends or your counterpart, and you dont have to travel all the times up and down across the states.
Some of the food are well known for their popularity and widely agreeable to be tasty, with the photos given by them and and your own colour on the comments, I believe it grows your blog or business faster and bigger.
Of course, the photo must have certain extend of quality and meet your requirements. By doing this, you will be able to attract the amateur photograhers and also the food lovers to participate in your blog and even create greater traffic and volume to your blog.
What do you think?
vk: Hi bernard. Your suggestion is very good. But I am running a personal site
If this was a food website, and not a blog, your suggestion would be very fitting 
I prefer to have my own experience, own photos as well own reviews on my blog hehe. Although some food are already famous, I have yet to try them. So it’s the curiosity and passion that drives me
