Similar to other bloggers out there, I did not start a blog to get paid for it. It all started as a medium for me to communicate with friends abroad. You see, I have a number of friends working in different parts of the world. The rest of us who are left here meet once in a while and when there is a gathering or an event or a simple get-together, I immediately post it to update those who are abroad. It is my way of broadcasting our greetings to everyone. And it is our way of interacting in one place where we can see the run of the conversation.

But then I lost my job middle of last year. Because I had nothing else to do in between looking for jobs, I blogged. I learned that there are programs that helps bloggers get paid for blogging. Smorty is that kind of service. Bloggers get blog money out of writing down their opinions for different products and services. So if you want to get paid for blogging, then join Smorty now!
