Money Makes Friends

After office I went to have a nice sleep as I couldn’t sleep last night. But as I was in the transitional phase of losing my senses, I received a call from an unwanted person. Obviously that was the reason enough for me to not to go again to sleep. But still I kept on lying inside the bed waiting for it to come. It didn’t. So the thoughts kept on shifting inside and out of my brain which ended me writing about two people on blogosphere, whom I know. So here I am with this brand new "Chunklet".

They met on the very blogosphere. Kaf got impressed by Terry’s writing and outspoken style. He found that essence in her which he actually wanted. He always wanted to be open and blunt to his reader but he simply couldn’t. May be his eternal shyness was blocking his entire creativeness. Another thing which contributed in his immense liking towards her was the fact that she was one of the very first bloggers, he had ever met. And the first thing always remains first. It creates an everlasting effect. She liked his or not? That he didn’t know as usually people don’t criticize each other on blogs. It is considered bad for your own reputation. But sometimes he would read between the lines and he knew that she did like his style too.

So they kept on communicating each other somehow on internet and step by step they had found each other on other social networking websites. The communication was increasing day by day although they were thousands of miles apart from each other. They would exchange emails and chat online with each other.

After a few months, a time came when they both felt lethargic of commenting on each other’s blogs. Both didn’t mind the other though, as both were a little bit of disappointed. Not from each other but from the fact that since they have started blogging they have put Google’s Adsense on their blogs and they thought that they would be earning a few grand each month.

It came out when one day Terry emailed him inquiring about how much he earned through Adsense. His reply was US $ 1.9. 1.9 bucks in five god damned months? She burst out laughing at him and later on herself. She told him that it was the same story her side too. All the techniques to get people clicking on the ads had proven wrong. What was wrong then??? They couldn’t figure it out quickly. May be it was the genre they chose to write about because people are not willing to pay for the kind of stuff they write about.

Whatever was the material course of their companionship; one thing they were very sure of. They have found a very good friend in each other. Money had brought them closer. They still write but not for earning money but for their passion for writing.

indeed, money is the best language a man speak in order to get his point across. Its a language that transcends culture and religious boundaries. It is a language that we all speak. Hence, why would not it help us in making new friends? It certainly would.

money is a lot of things... depending upon where its coming from and to whom its going... it can be a necessary and it can be an accessory at the same time :)

well, You can find the most honest and the most loyal friend in your life while struggling, if that's what you are referring to @Afaque. Now this struggle could be for anything, fame, money or anything!

Afaque said...

yeah... and in this case it was money... well not all of it was money but a lil of it... hehe

Yellow-candy said...

and one more thing, most of you guys here have got totally wrong concept about Ad sense, its not a rocket science, although its hard to get a hang of it at first, but you should all know the basics. Its all about optimizing and monetizing your blogs accordingly and building a strong niche. I will soon be posting an article on how to use Ad-sense for those who start from scratch, so keep visiting my blog :)
