After a couple of book reviews, let me now present to you my very own book cover.

Yes, only the book cover.
I wouldn’t reject the idea of writing a book, but not exactly right now.

I recently read a Dummies ebook titled HPC for Dummies. It was just a marketing gimmick, making it looked like a Dummies series book as the ebook was actually more like an indirect sales material instead of the usual for Dummies book.
That’s a fairly effective Internet Marketing to me, but not really good for long term though. I might not be downloading their future ebooks anymore. What do you think?

Anyway, that ebook brought me the idea of looking for a Dummies template and a book cover generator.
Couldn’t really find one as near as the actual, but this online Dummies book cover generator is quite cool if you like mine.

This first type of advertisements I put up on this blog when it was setup more than a year ago was Google Adsense.

I had an account from Google Adsense years ago and it was setup for Check payment.

It was only until recently when my Adsense earnings nearing the payout threshold that I did a check on the payment method and switched it to Western Union.

Notice the Payment Details – Payment Type is Check – Standard Delivery.

Change it to Western Union Quick Cash.

There are several reasons why you should use Western Union Quick Cash, and most importantly is the time reduced for getting the money especially for publishers not residing in the US.

Google Adsense states that where the month of accumulated earnings reached USD 100, then the payout will be sent out before the end of the following month.

My little bonus was available in December 2009 and thus should be sent out before the end of January 2010.

Finally when I checked, it was ready for collection from any Western Union branch.

There was a USD 1.32 charges, but if I’m not mistaken, that is much less as compared to the clearing fees for the Check payment option.

This is a sweet little bonus for me, considering Marvin Lee dot Net is not a make-money-online blog. I’m pretty sure probloggers are earning much more and this is nothing to them.

And some bloggers have even received their Western Union payment since 2007.

Are you getting your small or big bonus from Adsense? What are the better options to get bonuses?

Some of my friends remembered my Photobook experience and when they saw the actual album, most of them were quite impressed.
Unfortunately when they realized it’s really good, the promotion period ran out.

So when I was sent a promotional flyer about another 40% discount, I’m sure those who had asked me before could benefit from this.

But now I’m not too sure if the discounts come every alternate month or it’s really random.

No matter what, if you’re truly interested and with photos readily available for prints, why not try out the designer software first and then decide if you would like to have a physically printed edition?

Use code MAR40 when print and do read the details for the Terms and Conditions of this promotion.
