No Sweat!

When I gave birth to my darling daughter, my other half asked me to quit my job. After some deep thoughts and few serious discussions with those whom closed with moi, I tendered my resignation letter :P


Thank God, all went well. In fact, it have been almost four months I've successfully become a stay-at-home-mom. Once in a while I still do some freelancing PHP coding job. The money is definitely good. Who does not feel that way when you can simply work from home at your own pace.


Since becoming a SAHM, I have been staying with in-laws. I am in the phase of learning how to cook well (and delicious, I hope) with mother in law :P Another step to be a domestic goddess, I must say. Hahahaha. You may view some of the outcome via my Masak-Masak label.

Anyway, this coming Wednesday, the in-laws are going to the north. The husband is going to work out of town. All of them are not there until Friday! So, there is ONLY me - I will be left alone with my 3 kids. To cook, to juggle with all of them – schooling, nursing (er, breastfeeding my darling daughter), tutoring her elder brothers homework, and not to forget to entertain toddlers' antique, it could be tough and chaotic!

But, NO SWEAT! There is always deodorant (read: Adidas Action 3) comes to the rescue. Hahaha.. After all, that is what mom is all about, huh?

Project Alpha Season 2 is presented by Adidas Action 3 and supported by P1 and MAS. Auditions are now open! Check it out at www.projectalpha.com.my/auditions

How Long Does It Take To Receive Your Nuffnang Check?

Terlebih dahulu, saya bukanlah penerima cek Nuffnang yang berjaya.. ha ha ha.. tapi masa first time cash out dulu, mmg ada sedikit confuse apasal lambat sangat dapat.. sebulan+ tunggu, tak sampai2.. biar betul.. adakah sudah kena tipu? kesahnya,

Utk Glitterati members, ada 30days buffer lepas kita cashout cek.. 30 hari daripada bulan yg kita cash out, bukan dari HARI kita cash out.. bak kata depa dalam tulisan kecik yaamatz kat bawah sekali dalam Tab Eearnings tu..

Please also allow about 30 days from the end of the month for your payment to be processed and sent.

Means, kalau kita cash out cek bulan 5, buffer sepanjang bulan 6, bulan 7 baru kita bley terima..

Untuk non-glitterati, cash out bulan 5, buffer sepanjang bulan 6 dan 7 (pasal 60 days), bulan 8 la baru dapat kaedahnya..

My first time dulu, saya cash out 6hb.. gile tak sabar.. ye lah, 1st time dapat cash out.. kah kah kah.. and I was like, 30 hari lepas 6hb, dalam next month tu la dapat.. sebenarnya bukan ye.. cash out 6hb, dia akan accumulate sume orang yg cash out bulan tu, + buffer 30 hari.. then baru dapat.. MORAL? tunggu la sampai hujung bulan baru cash out.. OK? OK.. part ni saya pun tak follow la sangat.. pasal ye lah, ketidaksabaran tu kadang2 menyebabkan jari jemari cepat je klik link cash out :P

Untuk yg dah berjaya cash out, selamat menunggu.. insya-ALLAH, setakat ni, mmg dapat je paymentnya.. tak kesah la sesikit mana atau sebanyak mana.. takde sapa nak bagi FREE at least RM50, right?

Cerita Tentang Nuffnang - Part II

OK, placement utk ads ni pun satu hal jugak.. khusus utk skyscrapers (SS) advert, korang kena letakkan di bahagian atas sekali di bahagian sidebar..

Leaderboard, rasanya takde masalah sama ada di atas blog title ataupun di bahagian bawah..

Utk large rectangle (LR) biasa mmg diletakkan di bahagian posting.. cara untuk meletakkan ads di bahagian ni pernah saya kongsikan bersama di sini..

Kalau diperhatikan, di sebelah sisi kiri page Nuffnang anda (kalau tengok guna tab Analytics), ada LIST OF BLOGS beserta bintang-bintang berkerlipan.. tak berkerlipan pun, acah je :P..

Sebagai contoh.. bukan gambaran sebenar

Apa Apa Je
Large Rec: * *  *
Leaderboard: * * *
Skyscraper: * <<<-- tapi part ni mmg benar! 

Mari kita lihat apa kata Nuffnang? 

The stars to the right of your blog name(s) indicate your blog's Click Rating. This is based on the CTR ( click through ratio ) of your previous paid ( i.e. non-global ) campaigns. This new feature is meant to provide feedback to you about the performance of your paid ads relative to click-throughs. 

Maklumat lanjut ada di sini.. Lanjut sangat, koser nak C&P.. ha ha ha..

Berdasarkan pemerhatian terhadap blog saya sendiri, biasanya mCPM akan diletakkan di bahagian yg banyak bintang.. Cuma tak pasti la kenapa blog yg lagi satu tu ada byk bintang berbanding blog yg ini.. musykil! 

Nota kaki: Psst.. sementelah mak punya skyscraper tu sendu, rajin2 la klik kat situ.. ha ha ha..

Cerita Tentang Nuffnang - Part I

Ada beberapa blogger meminta saya menulis tentang Nuffnang.. sejujurnya, saya sedang menunggu masa utk menuntut cek kedua saya.. (read: saya belum sampai ke tahap yg sangat membanggakan.. ada yg tengah tunggu cek ke-3 dan lebih :))

Untuk makluman anda, iklan-iklan Nuffnang terbahagi kepada 3.. CPM, CPC dan mCPM.. Saya akan cuba terangkan mengikut fahaman saya.. paragraph di bawah dipetik dari laman FAQ.

FOR CPM CAMPAIGNS

• What you earn depends on the number of Average Unique visitors you received in the week that the ad campaign is built.
  
• You will then be arranged into specific “Blogger bands” that directly correspond to your number of Average Unique visitors.
  
• For each campaign, you will be paid a fixed amount for every ad unit. The amount depends on what your Blogger band is. The higher your Blogger band (i.e. more unique visitors), the higher your earnings.
  
• All information on your blogger band and your earnings can be viewed within your CMS Earnings Page. All information will be updated within 3 working days after the ad campaign is completed.
  

Paragraph di atas menyatakan bahawa jumlah kutipan dibuat berdasarkan nilai purata visitor yg unik ketika iklan tersebut berjalan. Besar kemungkinan, iklan sebegini dijalankan selama seminggu sahaja..

Jadi, kalau dalam minggu tu blog anda ada ramai unique visitors, peratusan utk anda memperoleh pendapatan menerusi iklan ni adalah tinggi.. dan ia melayakkan anda berada dalam band tertentu yg akan menentusahkan jumlah pungutan akhir.. Lagi tinggi band, lagi banyak lah yg masuk.. at least bukanlah 25sen..

Apapun, iklan ini takkan muncul dalam tab Earnings selagi ia belum tamat.. lepas 3 hari tamat, baru kita boleh nampak jumlah pungutan :) Info ni diletakkan dalam table di bawah tajuk CAMPAIGNS.


FOR CPC CAMPAIGNS

• You earn by the number of unique clicks generated by your unique visitors on the ad unit that is running the CPC campaign.
  
• Your earnings will be credited 3 days after the CPC campaign ends. A CPC campaign ends when it reaches its maximum number of clicks.
  
• Should your blog display a CPC ad but not generate any clicks on the ad unit, no earnings will be accumulated and updated.
  

OK.. yg CPC ni pulak.. based on kadar klik yg dihasilkan oleh pelawat yg unik.. Mean to say, kalau A dah klik, then dia klik lagi.. in my opinion, 2nd klik tu tak dikira.. unik di sini, pada hemat saya adalah berdasarkan IP visitor tersebut..

Yg bestnya, selagi tak abis klik, selagi tu ads ni running.. so, kalau tengok kat blog tu ada ads yg dok berlegar-legar lebih dari seminggu (atau kurang.. mak punya sokmo lebih dari seminggu pasal tak abis2 lagi max number of clicks kaedahnya) tu, besar kemungkinan ia adalah CPC.. makanya kena lah memperhebatkan usaha kempen utk mengklik iklan tersebut.. sama macam seperti CPM, lepas 3 hari dia tamat, baru kuar kat table di bawah tajuk CAMPAIGNS..


FOR MCPM (METERED CPM) CAMPAIGNS

• Advertisers buy a set of unique visitors from your blog that will be able to see their ads on your blog for a certain number of weeks.
  
• The earnings for your mCPM campaign will be held in Buffered Earnings while the campaign is running till your blog finish serving the number of uniques the advertisers bought from your blog. Once your blog finish serving the number of uniques, the earnings will be credited to your Current Earnings.
  

Ha, yg ni la yg bikin byk $$$ :))

Kalau ada yg ternampak table BUFFERED EARNINGS kat atas sekali dalam tab EARNINGS, means your blog is/are having CPMs campaigns.. Lagi ramai unique visitors, lagi cepat dia habis dijalankan.. Ni kira tak payah klik pun takpe.. tapi kalau klik lagi best.. Ha ha ha..

Dulu-dulu, Nuffnang akan bagi email utk menyatakan bahawa blog kita akan menerima mCPM.. tp sekarang ni takde dah.. maybe kes ini berlaku pada saya sahaja.. tau2 je ada dalam Buffered Earnings..

Well, once dah abis jumlah unique visitors yg advertiser beli, jumlah pendapatan akan diletakkan di bawah table bertajuk METERED CAMPAIGNS..

to be continued..
