Nice post!
The Amazon link is not correct.
People can also see this link (18 sites that pay you) http://jetheights.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/18-websites-who-pay-you-to-write-helpful-tutorials/

Sorry for nitpicking but there are some English errors here:
1. It is ‘a Millionaire’
2. Stuffs is incorrect. It will be stuff.
Also, being a WP guy you should not commit this error at all: WordPress is never “wordpress”; you will not find that mistake on WPWebHost but you have written at many places ‘wordpress’.
Otherwise things are fine. All the best for your WP career!

Ankit,
“Errors are the essential part of Human” is wrong English. It will be either Humans or Human Beings. Don’t mind.
February 19th, 2010 at 4:06 pm

Proper grammar and syntax doesn’t prove a greater intelligence but rather a learned skill. I enjoyed the article and found it easy to overlook such petty errors.
February 26th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
Nice article..I tell my friend to read this and bookmark..
February 28th, 2010 at 12:33 am
Thanks @Lorna. I really like this appreciation. Well, I belong from India and English isn’t my first language. So, it is the reason.
@ripatguripat, Thanks a lot for your appreciation.
February 28th, 2010 at 2:01 am
@Ankit,
Don’t say that. Indians are great with the English language (often even better than the native speakers). So learn the language instead of seeking forgiveness here!
Google Transliteration will help you write blogs in Hindi so that you do not have to regret it! And you belong to India and not from India!
February 28th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
@Indian bloggers,
Well, you are right. I should learn the Grammar.
