Happy New Year 2013!

Photo Credit: flickrCC

I'm writing this one while everybody's busy preparing the celebration for the coming year later. Actually, I'm hearing fire crackers and party songs here and there and laughter as well at this moment. It feels as though new year has come already because of the noise. And sometimes it can be annoying. Well, such is life  at this times. I just have to keep on track and focus. Well, this is much better compared to the world's end anyway. So, it really deserves a party after all. And good thing we survived the Mayan Prophecy otherwise, there won't be a year for us to wait. Makes me wonder now, will there still be another prophecy of the same event after all the prophecies that did not happen?

Anyway, since a new year is coming, I thought of sharing what happened to me on 2012. But to be different, why don't I just share the actions I will prioritize for the coming  year instead? Hmmm...at least it's different on my own point of view.

So, why don't I begin it with me being nationalistic. :-)

Stock Market Investments

It's all over the news - the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) Index is reaching all-time high levels almost every day. If you're in the Philippines and you're not feeling it, I think there's something you're not doing. I'm not actually going to brag, but I'm already a Stock Market investor at a young age that's why I'm feeling it. Don't  spoil it by disagreeing. I just feel really young. Ahh..the feeling! :-)

Actually, it's one of the greatest blessings I received since my stocks are all going well and for sure it will continue to prosper in the coming years. (I think that's what you've been missing if you're not feeling the economy prosper-because you're not investing in the stock market). And since the purpose of that investment is for my retirement, I will continue to commit myself on investing consistently. I will make sure that I will continue this act regardless of the economy's condition. (If you want to learn how to invest in the Stock Market the simple way, I invite you to join the club where I learned how to invest in the Stock Market. Join now at Truly Rich Club)

My Passion

Secondly, I want to earn from my passion which is creating art -mostly in traditional drawing. (Pls. do visit my blog about my favorite manga series: (http://theonepiecegallery.blogspot.com). This coming year 2013, I will keep on improving my drawing style through constant practice, specially on mastering coloring techniques as well as discovering my own art style. I just can't seem to find my own style at this moment. But I will for sure! Because sharing my skill in art is my way of blessing the world and it's my passion. :-)

Continue on Earning Money Online

Of course, I will continue to share the knowledge I have on how to create money online as well as on financial literacy. And that is certain. Thus expect articles about the said topics from time to time. As much as possible, I will also share the wisdom I acquired specifically on financial literacy to many. And speaking of earning money online, you should be part of a new online opportunity (Home Page Pays) which will surely make you hit big online. As this is the next superstar on the internet. For sure, you'll hear about it in the next months to come. So, hurry now! Click here for further information: http://www.jeffbadanoy.com/2012/11/smart-media.html

Give More

And most importantly, I want to give more than what I used to give. I now have a new purpose on creating wealth. It's not just for my family and myself but for other people as well. I want to make a change. Like everybody else, I do have great people whom I admire most. But I believe that it's not enough that I admire them, I should also follow their path and their actions on making this world a better place.

Keep Learning

Finally, I will keep on learning things that will help me become a better person -spirtiually and financially. Be better in online/offline business, be better and eventually be the best in my core gift, be better in finance and investment, etc. After all, business and entrepreneurship has been an interest of mine since I was young until today which I have to brag that I am still young. Therefore, I will follow my mentors for sure to keep on learning.

In all honesty, those are just the few of the action plans I have this 2013, but it would not fit in here if I add them all. So, just to sum them all up, my 2013 will be much better than 2012! Hopefully, yours as well.

I declare that 2013 will be the best year yet and it will be the most productive year I'll ever have in my life. Have a Blessed and Prosperous New Year Everyone!

List of Virtual Assistant Online Jobs

Some people think that data entry is the best job someone can find in an online job or working as a Virtual Assistant. Actually, it’s not. In fact, it’s one of the lowest paid virtual assistant jobs there is. The other thing that made me mull over is that other people think that it’s all about “clerical” jobs because of the word “assistant”, which is wrong. Just like what an old friend told me when we had a talk earlier this week. He thought that the job is some sort of secretarial and that’s why he never had an interest working as a VA despite his interest in working at home. And probably that’s the same reason why you can’t decide to work as a virtual assistant. For that, I suggest you take a look into the list below and see if you can find any job that you know. And if you do, then it’s one good reason for you to work at home as a virtual assistant.

How to Earn Money Online?

In one of my earlier posts, I revealed the specific ways on how someone can possibly make money online. Those mentioned I believe are the most appropriate ways for someone in the Philippines to utilize their usage of the internet and make some cash out of it-be it through internet marketing or by becoming a virtual assistant/freelancer. But if you really come to think of it, there are only two ways on how you can earn money online, in general. One is through online employment and second is through online business.

When I say online employment, you work as a Virtual Assistant /Freelance which is somewhat similar to a regular employee. Only that you do your work right at the comforts of your home. Yes, you work for someone and you have a boss which can be a local or a foreign employer.Though that is the case, most virtual assistants and freelancers don’t consider themselves as employee but rather as online entrepreneurs.

Tips on How to Avoid Burnout when Working from Home

Photo Credit: FlickrCC

Burnout is the emotional condition which is usually a result of exhaustion, lack of rest, and stress. It is very common in just about every job including those who are working at home. Although at times it is being ignored, burnout is considered as a very real and serious issue which needs to be attended to.  An extreme drop in desire to carry out even the most basic functions is just one of the harmful outcomes one could experience due to burnout. And if left unchecked, it could lead to more frustration. To learn how you can avoid burnout, especially if you’re just at home earning money online, a few plain steps below will be of good help to you.

Choose to be physically and mentally healthy-Being healthy is more than just eating right and exercising appropriately. It is also about being healthy emotionally. It is believed that people who are emotionally healthy are in control of their feelings and also their actions.

Laugh more often- If you’re feeling exhausted, watching shows or movies that can possibly send you off rolling on the ground out of laughter is one way to ease burnout. “Laughter is the best medicine” as the famous line goes. When laughter is shared, it connects people together and boosts happiness and intimacy. Laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body. It will also strengthen your immune system, increase your energy, reduce pain, and protect you from the harmful effects of stress. And best of all, it is free to use!

Get out of the house often- Sometimes due to the love of work, freelancers and VAs forget that they’re already isolating themselves from the outside world which could likely stress them out without knowing it. One simple solution to this is to try a variation of setting, like working in a coffee shop or a park perhaps. Anywhere will do, for as long as you’ll be comfortable working. Also, taking your pet out for a walk is a very good idea.

How to Make Money Online on Fiverr

What is Fiverr?

It is a freelance site where you can make money doing anything for $5. In their website, you simply state what are you willing to do for $5. 


Like for example: “I will digitally illustrate you for $5” or “I will make an illustration of your mom for Mother’s Day for $5”

Looking for extra cash? Do it on Fiverr!

In Fiverr, you can find the simplest to the most serious task and will get paid for $5.

I know the amount you’ll receive is not that much. But if you can complete, let’s say 5 tasks a day, so, you’ll have $25 a day (excluding the fee). And considering that, Fiverr might be a good source of part-time jobs for you.

There’s just something you need to remember. Your performance can greatly affect how many jobs you can get from the website because buyers can give client feedback on whether they liked your services.

So, if you receive a lot of good testimonials then it’ll help you in your business. Otherwise, it’s the opposite.
