I know I should officially announce that my blog is now http://www.simplypochi.com/. I have started my blog with Blogspot for over a year now and I have decided to dotcomize my blog. :) I have read and heard from my blogger friends that registering your own domain will have its advantages especially when you plan to monetize your blog. I know it’s a given but why not enjoy the perks while you are at it. It’s all about your own choices and options right?

Thank God I got my very first Eon Visa Debit Card! :) Thanks UNIONBANK.

Maybe you're wondering why I prefer to use debit card instead of a credit card. Hmm. The answer is... I'm not just into the idea of borrowing money I haven't earned yet. :)

Yes, I am very much glad to have conscientious circles of friends who, I should say, have a sensible spending habits, even if they have credit cards. BUT, I've also heard of friends of friends' terrible stories on credit card bills running on the roof making them run on treadmill of debts.

Planning is important when you do anything. And when it comes to something as important as monetizing your blog, planning becomes even more essential.

It has been a year since I have started blogging. And now, I have decided to monetize my blog.

First, I registered in PayPal. My blogger friends tell me that, first, I should have an account there because that's where most of my profit will be placed. After that, I consulted Mr. Google and read over some articles about monetizing a blog. I have read that registering your own domain will have its advantages especially when you plan to monetize your blog.
