NoMore Paid Services Here on JackBook.Com
By Jacky Supit • Jan 19th, 2008 • Category: blogging tips - blogging tricksSome days ago, I went to help Collin Yeo to fix an error on his blog. After all the hard work done, then we came to the time for Collin pay the bill for my services (the hire me for $5).
And somehow, I just feel it’s not right. I just can’t accept it. I feel really guilty to charge you guys for my services.
I started this blog with a free service, and I also started this blog by a free service (blogspot) , and now I am starting to charge my readers for my helps? Oh no, I can’t do this.
I have decided! From now, there will be nomore paid services here on JackBook.Com
All the services was free, and should remain free! It’s just I think I need to manage my time better then now. I am so sorry that I had been doing such a fool thing guys.
Ah.. feeling good.
Now I can do blogging happily again.
Oh I think I will let the chat between I and Collin talk by it self for you guys. thanks
here is the chats
After some talks…
2:49 PM me: yea you right
Collin: jack whats ur paypal add?
same as this?
2:50 PM me: yea. but just forget it dude. i feel so guilty by charging people for this.
2:51 PM Collin: you are funny jack lol
but we are eating into your time
me: yea
![]()
yea, but i don’t know. i just feel not right.
Collin: hmm……
2:52 PM me: i think i will remove my paid services from jackbook.com
i have even remove all those ad saying Hire Me for $5
from my blog
i will give it all for free
that is the right thing i guess
![]()
Collin: jack, please accept it… then i can ask you to help me out on 2 more function in this blog
![]()
2:53 PM me: hey collin, i will help you for free. don’t worry about it. it’s just i actually have been thinking about to give you guys a special dedicated day to do technical support
what do you think?
like Happy Saturday or something
![]()
2:54 PM happy friday for new template every friday
and happy saturday for livechat for trouble shooting
Collin: that would be fantastic but i think it will be congested and some people will just forget it
2:55 PM instead of dedicating a full day, why not just daily for maybe a period of 1hour or 30min each day?
me: yea
i got headache for this
![]()
still thinking about it
Collin: maybe you should recruit some freelance helper
voluntary of course
2:56 PM me: ouh.. i wish i could
they can just do that via their own blog
![]()
Collin: ok an incentive for them? maybe put their link on your blog hah
2:57 PM me: hahah..
do you realize that i don’t put any link on my blog?
i want to keep it clear
yea, except those top commentators
Collin: ic
2:58 PM you need to understand the expansion of a blog does require more helper especially when you are not full time blogger?
and by providing free and useful service, you attract more traffic
2:59 PM and by recruiting helper, you are some sort of running a passive income business
where you need not manage it yourself
… until here, we were talking about some other things.

Great Gesture
you are the man jacky..
but, i think, your readers wouldn’t mind you charge them… that was only $5 jack…
i think that $5 worth their time for self-adjusting their template. maybe they took about a day to adjust them self…so they wouldn’t mind to give you $5….
p/s: just my 2cent jack…
thanks Baloot,
I will do this for free for you guys. thanks
but I really can’t take it
wow..jack u are one of a kind..
maybe u should put a list of bloggers like u!
You are really cool bro..
all we can say is Thanks and God Bless You my friend…
its a good idea or bad…i dont think??
This is what i call
Visitors First, Money Second
Great Gesture
Hey Jack,
I’m currently using your 3-column “Blog oh Blog” template, and I think it’s awesome. I would like to put a banner at the top where the link ads banner is, but when I try to change it to an HTML widget nothing happens. Any suggestions?
And if you are not doing custom, for-pay templates anymore, do you take suggestions?
Thank you,
Tom
