I've Joined Project Wonderful
Did you noticed the project wonderful widget at the left side of my sidebar? I’ve signed up last week. I first seen them at Entrecard admin panel. That time, there are 6 slots and 4 slots are still available and it was free for $0.00. What? Free advertising? At Entrecard admin panel? That’s cool!
So, I’ve immediately signed up but received my “confirmation” email two days ago. I don’t know why it took that long. Well, who cares, as long as I have my own widget on my site, it doesn’t matter. hehehe…
Well, I hope that it will work on my site since I’ve changed my domain this month and still working on with my traffic. Gosh! More traffic means better income from project wonderful. There’s no such thing as free advertising but project wonderful made it possible. Duh!

Get Paid For Blogging
After a few years of mobile blogging, I didn’t know that its possible to get paid to blog. I still consider myself a newbie since I’ve just started into real blogging last quarter of last year. There are still many things to learn and much better if you earn while you learn.
It is better for new bloggers like me to start blogging with Smorty. Smorty is a service connecting advertisers with bloggers. There are a lot of advertisers that needs honest opinions and blog advertising to their products. We as bloggers that are also consumers or should I say costumers evaluate the products and blog about it. That’s how easy it is. Smorty had opened another door of opportunity to get paid for blogging.
How I Started On Mobile eBooks
Four years ago, I was an active member of a girl forum. Most of the topics were mostly women’s talk, one thread caught my attention. It was Harry Potter’s comparison between the movie & the book. They’ve said, book version was far better than the movie. I want to disagree but I haven’t read any book of Harry Potter series. I want to have a copy but I cant afford it at that time. Then I searched for an alternative option, I saw a link on that forum, one of the member share her pdf copy of HP books. I’ve download them and researched on how can I have them read on my mobile phone, I was using Nokia 3650 at that time.
Since I’m into blogging already, I asked almost all of the co-bloggers for help. Sad to say, nobody got the answers. Buying a PDA was neither an option. There must be a solution! hehehe… I saw a thread at the “for sale” section of that forum. She’s selling ebooks as sideline, ebooks at 10php each in different formats. Order a minimum of 10 ebooks @ 10php (promo). Regular price was 50php per ebook. Have to try them first if its possible so I’ve ordered ebooks in pdb format. Why pdb? Because buyers order ebooks for their pc or pda. *.pdf for pc and *.pdb for pda.
After I’ve received the files through email, I saved them on my email’s briefcase, went to my cousin’s internet shop. I don’t have my own PC at that time. He have this bluetooth service on his shop, my suggestion actually. Anyway, he sent the files to my cellphone via bluetooth. Then I searched for a mobile application that reads pdb files. I saw handybook reader, installed it and used it for my purchased ebooks. And that’s how my mobile ebook reading hobby started.
Back Up Your Contacts
Need to transfer your contacts from one mobile phone to another? Most of the time, I’ve encountered people saying that they’ve accidentally deleted an important contact or in some way they’ve lost their contacts. It made me wonder, they’re using a 3G phone or maybe a symbian 60 phone and yet they haven’t heard of this mobile application.
We cannot use mobile as a form of communication if we don’t have contacts on our phone book, right? Just like our mobile files, we also need to back them up. Contacts are more important than our files, copying them on our sim card wasn’t enough. Sim cards have limited memory.
This application wasn’t new to me, I’ve been using this mobile application for a long time and haven’t found any application better than this one. Backup Contacts v1.10 is a freeware and long time available in the market.
Import All – retrieve contacts from your backup file
Export All – back up your entire contacts to a file
Import Sel - retrieve a selected contact
Export Sel – back up a selected contact
Receiv File – receive file via bluetooth
Send File – send backup file via bluetoothHow to back up contacts:
- Open Bkup Contacts, click “export All”
- Choose “to Local File”, choose the drive or directory you want the file to be saved. I save them both on memory card and phone memory.
- Type the filename, click ok.
- If you open your file manager or FExplorer, you already have your backup named as “yourchosenbackupname.vcf”
