Interview with James Parmis who earned his first $100+ in blogging

I am so glad for being featured in Jomar Hilario's Online Workshop Club. Jomar is my personal coach and mentor on my journey towards financial freedom. He's an internet marketer who helped a lot of people either online or offline regarding on how to make money online by blogging. He will teach you how to make a blog and how to make money on it. Below is the email he sent to me and to all the members in the club. 
 
James Parmis is one of my students in the Online Workshop Club, and just last week he has received his first Google Adsense cheque - as an OFW in Bahrain - from blogging for dollars (part of the workshop lessons).

I interviewed him at length regarding his success, in two parts.

P.S. What you may not know is that after receiving an adsense cheque, it is common to keep receiving an almost the same amount of money from adsense --every three months -even if you SLOW DOWN in your activities.  That's the power of momentum of internet popularity -when you're following my instructions!
