First Cents

Every journey indeed starts with its first steps. Every thing that we wanted in life oftentimes starts from small and humble beginnings and then from there, we never really know. It might and grow into more than what we initially wanted.

And this is where it all begins - there was this guy I know, who's been a  nobody in the world wide web, but a person who believes he can write and who wants to earn big online from writing, blogging and working online. A blogger wannabe who wanted to share to the virtual community his thoughts and skills then earn while doing it.

He had some attempts but he failed yet he never stopped until he had made some achievements. He had finally decided on the kind of blog he wanted, learning from successful blogs, from reading and studying them. He gained some few reads and had his first followers, and then it was really happiness for him.

The next goal he had was to know how to earn from it. He had some failed tries until he had successfully came across with Infolinks and earned his first cents. And I saw it, the reports and how he was so happy that for a long time hoping, he finally had his first cents online. And he knew it doesn't end here. Now his making this post, trying his luck to earn. But then again, he wanted to say thank you to Infolinks for realizing a long time dream of earning online. The setup was easy and fast, yet he knows that he has to do more work to perform better and earn better someday but his taking his first steps and he thinks he has taken the right steps.

However, he been really so happy earning his first cents and his grateful. Good luck! :)

SULITCOMBO30A for TM/Globe subscribers

Yesterday was the last day for SULITCOMBO15A promo period based from the last message I have received from TM. However, TM notified me through a text message about SULITCOMBO30A. I don't know if this is offered to everyone but the message says that it is exclusive for me. If you have received a similar message below, then you are qualified to avail with the promo. For those who haven't received this message, you can try and check if you can avail. The same as with SULITCOMBO15A, my prediction is that another promo notification might be sent once the promo period indicated is over.

Compared with the regular promos of TM I usually used like ASTIGCOMBO15A, SULITCOMBO15A is superior. 

As indicated in the name, "SULIT"COMBO15A is indeed "worth it" combination promo of texts and calls. 

Here's how to register:

1) Type SULITCOMBO30A

2) Send to 8888

To check balance, text TMREW to 8888.

Enjoy: 

500 texts to TM/Globe and 120 minutes (2 hours) of calls to TM/Globe valid for 2 days.

(The promo period should be stated in the text message like Mar26-28 with a maximum of 2 registration within the time frame.) 

Below is the content of the message sent by TM:

"Sulit ang P30 mo sa astig na call and text combo na exclusive para sayo! May 500 texts ka na, may 120 minutes pantawag pa, all to TM/Globe and valid for 2days. Kaya register na from Mar 26 - 28, text SULITCOMBO15A to 8888. Max of 2 registrations only. This is a free advisory. P527b-2."
