Several months ago I never thought it would be possible to turn blogging into something lucrative. Well, July 2006 has been very generous to me and so I went to Canon Philippines to buy my first dSLR, the Canon 350D with kit lens.
The money I spent on this body + kit lens (Canon gave me a few freebies like a 256MB CF card and mini tripod) was all earned from blogging with b5media and KMM.
Is a professional camera the most expensive thing blogging can buy? Answer is NO:
The house that blogging bought
The car that blogging bought
The camera, gaming console and monitor that blogging bought
Abe has also bought a Canon 350D, from, well, from his photo gallery! Talk about reinvesting the money you earn!

Proof that blogging and hard work really pay.
[…] Blogging bought Jayvee a new DSLR Camera (good choice Jayvee). He also points to the car that blogging bought Rick, the camera, xbox and LCD Monitor that it bought David and the house it’s paying off for me. […]
Congratulations Jayvee !!
Now you’ve got the bug Darren and I caught. It’s great isn’t it? And the more you learn, the more you get motivated to work even harder at it.
Best of luck!
Rick
What has blogging bought you?…
Darren is at it again now that he’s returned from his “daddy vacation”. A little meme of sorts is being produced. Jayvee seems to have actually returned to an original post by Darren that has returned Darren to the subject. Bl…

Congrats! Tell me when you shoot next time… I’m probably getting my 350d next week.
Whoa?!? congrats Jayvee. That’s a great cam.
Proof that there’s a decent living to be made by blogging - or by Web publishing, if you prefer :). Congrats Jayvee and I look forward to your continued growth and success.
wow. i hope reading all those med books would buy me a car too. haha. oh well. maybe someday.
ooooooh that’s purdy… enjoy your new toy!
[…] I swear, being a geek has its downsides. You tend to spend a lot for your hobbies. I recently caught the photography bug after buying the 350D I’ve been wanting since December. […]
[…] Yeah yeah, it’s no biggie, but so what? What’s the use of wishing for a camera, car, or even a house, when it’s obvious I can’t afford ‘em yet? Note the word yet! […]
[…] It’s fun that doing something you love can actually reward you with something like this mobile phone, a camera, a house or an almost house! And yea, you can even count that snack if you consider it as one of blogging’s perks. Heehee. […]
[…] There are a lot of things you can buy: a car perhaps?, Ice Cold Coca Cola plus some snacks?, a camera? , or this: […]
[…] There was blind item gossip (oh my gosh!) of a couple who are now happily together because of blogging. If I could post the camera that blogging bought, they can post, “the love that blogging brought” […]

[…] How long will it take for me to post about a house, car, camera, phone, snack, or anything else that blogging might buy for me? I’m not holding my breath, but I am wondering about this. […]
[…] Is this a Filipino thing? Almost all the top sites for “blogging bought” are Filipino. There’s the car, the DSLR, the car again, the RAZR, the WoW credits, the laptop, the IXUS and the house. […]
[…] Thus, in relation to other bloggers’ ‘the (blank) that blogging bought’ posts such as: this, this, and this, i can now semi-relate because I won, I won, I won! […]
[…] When I bought my camera last year, there was a secondary reason to it than just photography. It was to involve myself with user groups associated with the gadgets that you owned. Owning digital SLRs, Macs, iPods — these are all interesting gadgets but you come to realize that the people who own these things are much more interesting. Not that I’d buy myself into the organization - it isn’t that; no not at all. I really just wanted to immerse myself into this fun world of Filipino geeks. […]
Looks nice
[…] What is it with bloggers and their cameras?! […]
that makes me feel very frustrated of my blogging… waaaaahh…
[…] I grabbed the chance to get it and viola! I got it! It’s not as cool as Abe’s and Jayvee’s Canon EOS 350D, or Abel’s own digital camera (whatever it was, it sure took some great shots […]
