First Things First

2008-11-22T19:37:00.001-08:00

Monetizing a blog is one of the most popular topics over the web. And it has been written over and over again by individuals, groups, organizations, companies and whatnot for the past who-knows when and where. The thing is, no one can really disprove that one can make money online. That leaves me but to prove that, yes, one can really make money online. Now's the fun part, how?

There are many ways how. One way is by blogging. And not just by blogging alone. Firstly, what is a blog? The word "Blog" came from two words: weB LOG. It is, firstly and foremost, an electronic diary. So, that's one trivia you can't find in the net if you're not really looking for it. I should know this because I am blogging way back 2003. I had so many blogs I lost count of them already. I have a few which I can still remember, and I think, is still in the recesses of the internet. I just realize just this year that I can monetize a blog, and therefore, can earn me some bucks on the side.

What I have been doing over the web for the past three months is really none of your business. But, then again, I should tell you because this is the topic of this entry. Hehehe. And that, my friend, is how you can make a very short story, long. On with this entry. I have been joining on a lot of paid-to-click sites lately. What are they? They are advertising sites where you can earn as little as one-hundreth of a dollar just by viewing an ad for as little time as thirty seconds. Did you get that or I have to elaborate it for you to understand what I just said? Right! That's right! You understand it all along. Hehehe.

What else? Paid-to-read sites and traffic exchange sites are just on the same line as the paid-to-click sites. Paid-to-post is something like blogging. You are paid to make a review on something, or give thoughts over a forum site, and anyhting that requires you to write.

There are still a lot of ways on how you can make money online. The ones mentioned above are just what I am up to this time. Look for the banners and links in this blog, register on them for free and start making money online.

Note: More of this "how to" thing when I have time.

A Proposal

2008-10-26T08:20:00.000-07:00

I replied to a Mylot discussion just this afternoon. It is all about a big scheme, a proposal of heightened alert, a secret which a "curious man" is cooking for quite sometime now in his blog. I replied to his post out of curiosity. Besides, he is talking about a two-hundred-a-month income just by blogging. I gave out this site for him to check if this site is good enough to qualify for the scheme. At first, he was telling me that my blog is good. We talked some more in Mylot, and then in this blog's chatter box. You can see our mini-conversation in my "chatter box". At the end, he told me that my blog will just put risk in his project.

I think he was aiming for an Adsense "attack". I know that scheme already. And for Google to not notice the attack, he was gathering personal blogs of different over-all topics. Am I right or am I right?

Widget Your Ads

2008-10-25T11:03:00.000-07:00

WidgetBucks
is an ad affiliate program that provides banner links to your website or blogsite. It boasts a widget-based banner ad that rotates with other ads in a preset time. Also, it has a feature called MerchSense. With MerchSense, the widget content is
automatically customized to your blog content. It is much like AdSense. WidgetBucks is much easier to use with this MerchSense feature but bloggers and publishers has an option to manually choose from a category of products, ranging from electronics, to toys, to computers, to gardening tools, and much, much more.

I would really appreciate it if you use the link above for you to be my referral.

Traffic Exchange Your Site, Now!

2008-10-24T18:17:00.000-07:00

I really have to put credit on my traffic exchange account. As of today, I have two traffic exchange accounts. But of those two, I'm only using one. I am satisfied with it. Though I need some more traffic. Maybe I'll revive the other account so as to get even more traffic on this site. Traffic means more people who gets to see my affiliate programs, and more chances of those people in joining-in on those programs, and, therefore, more income.

You can also earn on these traffic exchange programs through their ads, by referring friends, and by promoting on their site. Yes! They will pay you in promoting their sites. When you put their site's link in your website or blogsite, and someone clicks on that link and directed that someone to their site, you'll get paid. That's how traffic exchange works. So what are you waiting for? Start cashing in on traffic exchange sites.

Anyways, if you want to join in those two traffic exchange accounts, please click here and here. I would appreciate it if you will click on these links.

Cheers!

2008-10-22T09:47:00.000-07:00

I just made a payout from one of my earning sites last week and the payment arrived today in my Alertpay account. I was just telling it to Ella this afternoon. I was really hoping for it to come soon, and it did came. It's not much but, the thing is, I proved that the site is real. I can promote it now to get some referrals. Maybe I'll convince Ella tomorrow to be my referral.

Also, I checked my Alertpay account and saw one more direct referral under me. It is Santi from work. Now, I have two direct referrals in that account. Maybe I'll get something out of them soon. My online money making is getting better everyday.

Cheers to my get-to-pay sites!!!

Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Start Your Own Affiliate Program Today

2008-10-17T19:25:00.000-07:00

by Egidijus Andreika

If you are starting out an online business where you are trying to sell products online then an affiliate program is a must. There are numerous advantages that affiliate programs can offer to an online merchant.

10 Benefits That You Get When You Start Your Affiliate Program:

1. Affiliates Bring You Additional Free Sales

Affiliate programs are all about maximizing the advertising potential of your brand. You recruit affiliate marketers who do all the referring and promotion for your products and brand. So you don't have to spend unnecessary money to implement your marketing campaigns. Moreover, you can easily increase your market share with a help of affiliates and it doesn't cost you, since you work on a commission basis - affiliate makes a sale and then you pay out. Affiliates can definitely increase your online profits dramatically.

2. Pay Only When You Get a Customer

The other great thing about an affiliate program is that you do not pay money until and unless you actually get a sale. It is only when an affiliate marketer brings a visitor to your product's sales page and gets you a sale. Only them you would end up paying a commission. Thus this is all about maximizing your ROI.

3. Easy Tracking Methods

Most of the affiliate programs have automatic tracking and customized reports sent out. Thus you do not have to invest time or money into tracking software or mechanisms to assess the performance of sales or your affiliate marketers.

4. Massive Traffic Volumes Brought By Affiliates

Affiliate programs allow tonnes of traffic to be diverted to your site to make sales happen more often. The reason is that affiliate marketers get visitors and guide them to click through to your website to checkout your product. It is in the marketer's best interests to bring as many visitors through its affiliate link to your product's sales page as possible. That means there are tonnes of customers visiting your site by the minute!

5. Affiliate's Brought Traffic Doesn't Cost you A Cent

The huge benefits that most affiliate programs offer is that you do not shell out money until the sales happen. That means, until then you get access to huge volumes of absolutely free traffic that will either subscribe to a newsletter, e-zine or even just bookmark your own site. Affiliates bring visitors to your product's sales page... Even though if the visitor does not buy your product, he/she might still signup on your newsletter (if you have one) or your website... This way you could easily keep contacts with them and promote your products in the future. The best thing is that such affiliate's brought traffic is completely free.

6. You Can Easily Test and Track Your Product's Performance With Affiliates

You can check out the effectiveness of marketing strategies by letting your affiliate marketers do the work. Since you do not pay until a sale is made this is basically like a testing ground to check your advertisements till they actually get you sales. Moreover, this way you can easily tweak and optimize your product sales pages to get the better conversion rates (sales) for your product. Affiliates can easily bring you a lot of free traffic for your own product's testing purposes!

7. Affiliates Make Your Affiliate Program Viral - Viral Marketing at Its Best
Affiliate programs allow you to perform creative methods of viral marketing to attract maximum customers to your site. Recruitment of affiliate marketers happens exponentially as each tries to get commissions. More visitors and sales your affiliates bring - there is a high chance that those visitors will become your own affiliates and bring you even more visitors and sales. Your affiliate program becomes viral!

8. Much More Backlinks to Your Website - Higher Link Density

Search engines place websites higher which have more incoming links to them. There is no better way to accomplish this than through affiliate programs. Such programs bring in hundreds of thousands of links to your site getting you the best page rankings online! More affiliates you recruit - more backlinks you will get your website. More backlinks = more visitors and higher search engine ranking for your product's sales page.

9. Easy Affiliate Recruitment Options

It is very easy to recruit affiliate marketers using the standard two-tier method. In this method one tier earns profits from the subsequent layer and so on. So every layer wants to recruit more below to earn maximum commissions.

10. Exponential Growth Of Your Affiliate Program

The beauty of affiliate programs is that you can grow your affiliate marketers exponentially thus magnifying the potential of your business.

9 Strategies to Make Money Blogging

2008-10-11T21:08:00.000-07:00

by Brandon Hong

The question "How to make money blogging" sits high on every blogger's mind.

In fact I received many questions on "How to make money blogging" when I conducted my first webcast to answer my subscribers' most pressing questions on Blogs and Rss.

You can make money Blogging in a number of ways, and in this article I share with you up to nine ways in which you can make money blogging.

1. Make Money Blogging by Selling Advertising Space

Before the advent of Blogs, we have e-zines and selling advertising space on ezines was a popular way to earn extra money. If you run your own Blog, you can let others advertise in your Blogs with banner ads, solo ads, sponsor ads, classifieds and so on.

Now that we have Blogs, you can repeat the same business model that e-zine publishers do, that of selling advertising space.

Besides placing advertisers ads on your Blog, you can also make money Blogging by placing Google Adsense into your Blog.

In my "Marketing Rampage with Blogs and RSS" Videos, I show you how you can customize your Blog template to include the Google Adsense into your Blog template so that you can make money blogging.

2. Make Money Blogging by providing technical services such as Blog hosting or setting up Blog

You can also earn money blogging by providing technical services such as helping people to set up their Blogs or providing your own Blog hosting service.

One example of this is www.typepad.com . This is a Blog hosting service provider that charges a monthly fee. Typepad lets you create your Blog and they will host your Blog for you, and provide you with a number of Blog features.

3. Make Money Blogging by settting up joint venture marketing

Joint Venture marketing is a powerful marketing strategy employed by many top online marketers.

Basically how joint venture works is this: You promote person B's products to your subscriber and customer list, and you get a cut from whatever sale that follows from this promotion.

You can apply the principle of joint venture marketing to Blogs as well. If you have a substantial readership to your Blog, you can also promote or endorse certain products to your Blog readers and this way, and split the profits from the sales generated. This is another way to make money blogging.

4. Make Money Blogging from using the Membership model

Over time, if your blog has lots of postings and provide good quality content, you can consider turning it into a membership site and charge access for it, again giving you another venue.

5. Make Money Blogging by turning your products into

Another way in which you can make money blogging is to repackage your Blog contents into an e-book or an audio product and sell it. For example, if you run your own Podcasting show or an 'online radio show', you can easily compile your podcast recordings into a CD compiliation and sell it.

6. Earn Money Blogging by swapping blogs

You've heard of ad swapping when it comes to e-zine publishing, where publishers publish each other's ads in their own e-zines. This way, you save on adveritising costs.

You can repeat the same model to Blogs, as swap ads on Blogs as well. So instead of paying up front, you get to save, which means more money for you to spend!

7. Earn Money Blogging by turning yoyr blog content into RSS feeds and sell it as premium feeds

Your blog contents can be turned into an RSS feed. If the content is good, you can look for web businesses that are looking for good content for related topics and sell their feed to them.

8. Make Money Blogging by well, asking!

Hey, who's stopping you from putting a PayPal donation jar or button on your Blog? After all, there are lots of generous people out there you know.

9. Make Money Blogging as an Affiliate Marketer

Another way you can make money blogging is by promoting other people's products on your Blog. This is also known as affiliate marketing.

In affiliate marketing, you get paid a commission when someone clicks on your affiliate link and makes a purchase. Depending on the subject of your Blog, you can recommend products that solve people's problems.

For example, I had a subscriber who asked me how she can blog about cats and make money from blogging about cats.

I shared with her that firstly, perhaps she might want to go niche instead of targeting the broad category of "cats", and using the example of a Persian cat, which is a niche by itself, she can start a blog on Persian cats, providing valuable information as well as recommended solutions and products to the upkeep and maintenance of Persian cats.

Seven Google Adsense Tips

2008-10-10T08:41:00.000-07:00

by Matthew Ramirez

Making money with Google AdSense can be as easy as creating the Google AdSense account and including ads on a site. However, to get the most out of AdSense takes more effort. It requires designing an attractive layout, using proper keywords and positioning among others.

Tip #1: Keywords Keywords Keywords

Google uses keywords as a major part of their algorithm to determine search results. This is simple – a website promoting golf clubs should include golf clubs multiple times on the website. This makes sense. Google will parse through the content on the website, find keywords for golf clubs and understand that the website is about golf clubs. Make sure the quantity of the keywords you are promoting is high. Google will detect keyword density and move your website ever closer to the desired number 1 page results spot!

Tip #2: Quality Content

While keywords are important, having a website that is nothing but keywords after keywords after keywords is not the way to go. Google is extremely concerned about quality content. Both you the webmaster and the casual surfer appreciate this. When searching for golf clubs, you want to see a quality site on golf clubs, showing specs, prices, different brands, etc. What you do not want to see is a website that says nothing but golf clubs over and over again. Therefore, Google not only looks at keywords but looks at content. Google’s customer is the web surfer. And the web surfer wants content. So, Google includes quality content in their search engine algorithms as well as keywords.

Tip #3: Update your Content

The more quality content you have, the better. But it is also important that you update your content. It is quality information that originally gets surfers to your site. But it is the continually updated content that keeps them coming. Would you go to the movies if theatres only played one movie? No. People love variety, and though your website may be about golf clubs all the time, what surfers want is your golf club site to include recent information and news about the golf club world. They need specs on the latest club technology. More users will come to the site and potentially click your Google AdSense ads.

This does not mean you have to update your website every day. Many Google AdSense practitioners we talk to update their content once a week but no later than twice a month. If you can update your content every day, well good for you and your free time! But many AdSensers use AdSense for parttime income, and once a week is sufficient to keep your website relevant.

Tip #4: AdSense Format

If you are adding AdSense to blogs, chances are the blog site mandates certain sizes of their AdSense ads. However, if you developed your own site, you can create custom sizes for your ads. Google adds a step in their wizard for creating AdSense ads of different sizes. A lot of research has been done that shows wider ads are more successful than other sized ads. Below are the three most popular and successful ad sizes.

160x600 wide skyscraper

300x250 medium rectangle

336x280 large rectangle

Tip #5: Choose your Color Wisely

Another step in the AdSense creation wizard allows you to choose the color scheme for the ad. Your ideal solution is to choose colors that blend into the color scheme of your website or blog. The background and border color should be the same color as the most prominent color on your website. We have had better success with black for the text color no matter what the text color on the website is. If not choosing black, the most dominant font color on your site should be used. Another major tip is to not use background or border colors. Experience shows that ads without background colors or borders get more clicks than ads with background colors or borders.

Tip #6: Layout and Positioning

Surfers do not browser the Internet looking for AdSense ads to click. Although that would be great to the AdSenser, surfers browse the Internet looking for quality content. Who knew! It is best to keep your AdSense ads in subtle but obvious locations. Though this may seem counterintuitive, it is not. The subtleness comes from the natural flow of the website and the placement of the ads. Say, you have a page of ten paragraphs. Put two ads at the end of the third paragraph and another two ads at the end of the sixth paragraph. A surfer reading the page content will eye the AdSense ads in a natural manner, during the course of regular reading. That is ideal. So, the placement of the ad is subtle enough that the ads work in the flow of the page, but the ads are obvious enough that they will be viewed by visitors.

Tip #7: Maximize the Ads

Google does not allow unlimited ads. This prevents Made for AdSense (MFA) sites or Free for All (FFA) sites from posting nothing but ads. Google has set a maximum of six ads per page, three AdSense units, two AdSense search boxes, and one unit of ad links. Maxing out your limit does increase the potential for profit, provided you are using the previous 6 tips.

In summary, use these 7 tips wisely. Keep them in mind when creating blogs or websites and adding AdSense ads. You will find that your click through rate increases, and your profit increases as well. Happy AdSensing!

Get -To- Pay Sites

2008-10-05T12:36:00.000-07:00

PTC (paid-to-click) is a type of GTP (get-to-pay) that became popular in the 1990's. It is based on an advertising and marketing scheme that is incorporated on the web. Basically, there are three parties which are involved in the PTC model: the advertisers, the PTC sites, and the affiliates (or maybe called "members").

The process is easy: For a competitive amount, advertisers will pay PTC sites to put on their ads (by text links or banners) to be viewed uniquely over the internet. In turn, PTC sites will pay "members" to click, view and surf on these ads. Usually, PTC sites offer members $0.01 - $0.03 per click, and members should view these ads for 20-30 seconds to be credited.

The two most common payment processors are the Alertpay and Paypal. The main job of payment processors is to conveniently, cheaply and reliably transfer your earnings to you. If you don't have an account yet, please click on the logos below.
