Nuffnang lowers payout amount to SGD50!!!
Nuffnang traditionally required its bloggers to reach earnings a minimum earnings of SGD100 before they can cash out and have us send them our cheques. It made sense to compile earnings up to that amount, but it also made it hard for smaller bloggers to want to cash out.
So… just in case you guys haven’t already noticed, we have just recently reduced our minimum payout so bloggers don’t have to wait till SGD100 to get their cheques.
Now you can request that we send out your cheques as soon as you reach SGD50 and we will send out the cheques at the end of every month. At Nuffnang, we don’t drag payments… we pay fast.
Nuffnang Community Update 2: June 3rd 2007
Nuffnang Singapore community growth
As of yesterday, the Nuffnang community in Singapore has over 1,000 members!
That is a significant milestone, and one we can be proud of!
Special thanks to wendy cheng and other bloggers who wrote about us.
And of course every single one of you too!
Singaporeans, give yourselves a pat on your back!!!
How does Nuffnang work?
Many bloggers must be wondering what they need to do to earn money.
Well for starters, please allow us at least 1 week, but up to 2 weeks to monitor your statistics. This is so because of a number of reasons.
This being the main one: Blog visits are prone to fluctuations. We need an accurate guage of what kind of traffic your blog is receiving before we can sell it on to the advertisers. We are already talking to a number of interested advertisers. So far, we have had 3 advertisers. Nike, Hitchoo.com and Royal Flush Asia.
How does your blog get selected?
(i) The advertiser has strict targeting criteria/requirements.
For example, they might to target female blog readers, within the age group of 24-30. Or they might want to advertise on specific categories of blogs. With the targeting criteria the advertiser has set down, our sophisticated backend systems sift through all our blogs and we recommend to the advertisers the blogs that fit their requirements.
The advertiser then has to approve the package of blogs we have suggested, afterwhich their campaign is launched on Sunday at 0001am. It runs for a week till Saturday 2359.
IMPORTANT: Kindly note that the placement of your ad unit is crucial. A number of bloggers have had their blogs turned down, as it is too far down the sidebar. Do rectify this if you can.
(ii) At the end of the week, your earnings are automatically updated. How much you earn is based on the average number of unique visitors your blog receives (yet another reason why we need to track your statistics).
(iii) All this information and more can be found on our blogger faq. Do have a read through as and when you have the time!
Singapore Community Initiatives
As you know, at Nuffnang, we pride ourselves in being a community. We believe in enriching our blogger’s lives with more than vitamin M! To kick-start this initiative, we were proud to be a sponsor for the very successful Blog Out event organized by The Digital Movement, on the 24th of May 2007.
On the same night in KL, we successfully organized what was touted as the largest blogger outing Malaysia has ever seen. An exclusive screening of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 on opening night. Over 250 bloggers, press and advertisers attended. There was even free popcorn from Exabytes, one of our maiden advertisers in Malaysia. Read about it here.
Now that the community here is of a good size, I would welcome suggestions as to what kind of events you, the Singaporean Nuffnangers would be interested in. Let your creative juices flow, and do contribute your ideas!
