Make Money online With MySpace?

If you are already a member of MySpace you will know that they don’t exactly take kindly to people promoting their wares on the website. But if that’s the case, how do you make money by using the site?

The answer is simple – you do it subtly and in a way that will naturally encourage people to follow what you are saying and go elsewhere to find out more. The key to success is to build a profile that tells people who you are and what you are about – which will brand you as an expert in a particular area and get you remembered for all the right reasons when you want to promote your affiliate links online.

So what do you get when you join MySpace? First and foremost you get a space of your own to tell the world which you are. It’s a good idea to look up some other random pages by other people to see how they use theirs, particularly if they are internet marketers who have ulterior motives for joining this social networking site. You will get your own MySpace URL that can be promoted elsewhere, but the most important section of your profile page is the About Me section, as this is your chance to tell people what your interests are. If you are promoting products in a particular niche topic, make sure your profile is relevant to that niche in order to be seen as something of an expert. If you do this people will remember you and be more interested in seeing what you have to say when they need information on that topic.

If you have a presence elsewhere online – a blog, a website, and any other social networking sites that maybe aren’t quite so strict about not promoting your business as MySpace is – make sure you include them in your links section. This will encourage more traffic to flow between all your web presences, and you’ll start to make more sales as a result.

You can also make good use of the blog you get on MySpace; the great thing about this is that you can include hyperlinks (clickable links) to other websites. Again, you don’t want to be trying to sell directly off this but you could set up a page on Squidoo – a site that welcomes the idea of making money from a free web page, and you’ll find out more about it in a later post – or promote affiliate links or products on your own website that you can link into.

I’m sure you can see by now that the way to make money from having an account with MySpace is to do so indirectly. Before you post anything new to your MySpace page or blog, ask yourself if you are blatantly advertising or doing so in a more subtle way. There is no reason why you can’t recommend your own website that is packed full of information on your specialist subject and hopefully make some sales off there as a result.

Become A Paid Premium Blogger On Other Sites of People’s.

There is always a lot of talk about writing your own blog but what about the opportunities that exist for writing blogs for other people?

There are a number of ways you can do this and you could pick the one that appeals most to you or even do a combination of all of them if you wish. There are some people around who really do blog for a living, and not all of the money they earn is from their own monetized blogs. All you need to know is how to do it and where to look for opportunities. First off, there are a number of sites that allow you to write for their own network of blogs.

A typical example of this is Creative Web blogging. This site has a number of blogs that it manages and subject to opportunities being available you can apply to manage and write for one of their blogs in return for an agreed payment every month.

You do need to show that you have some experience so you’ll need to set up a blog if you don’t already have one and keep it up to date for a month or two before you apply. Alternatively they do sometimes elect to add new blogs to their network so you can always contact them if you have one you think they would like. Another option is to write for other companies on your own blog. Websites such as Pay U 2 Blog use this kind of system and it works very well if you want to add another income stream to your own blog.

But if you would rather write for an existing blog – or at least one that is run by someone else then you can also look for existing job opportunities. More people than you might think are willing to get someone else to write their blog for them. You would be ghostwriting it as each entry would appear under their name, but you will usually get paid per entry for a fixed number of entries per week or per month. If you market yourself as a premium blogger in this way, there is no reason why you can’t eventually take on several blogs and start doing it full time. Blogging for a living like this is a great job to do as there will always be success stories online that are looking for someone else to write their blog for them. You can have lots of jobs on the go and even if you should lose one or two you won’t notice a significant dip in your income. The best places to look for work writing other peoples blogs are the sites where you bid on work offered by other people, and also in the writing websites job boards. Craigslist is also worth a look, and there are also some ghostwriting teams that have websites advertising for people to write blogs for clients.

Once you get started it doesn’t actually take that long to find work – you just need to keep at it. And with a combination of finding work yourself, working for a site like Creative Web blogging and working for a ghostwriting outfit you could soon be blogging for a living.

One final point – just as Creative Web blogging advises, if you want to become a professional blogger for other people it helps to have plenty of blogging experience. So it’s worth setting up at least one blog of your own if you haven’t already got one.

Top 5 Ways to Make Money on the Internet

Unless you're a freegan and have found a way to live entirely off the grid, you probably need some sort of steady income in order to survive. The traditional way to earn money, of course, is by having a job. You work for a company or start your own, and the work you do earns you money, which you spend on things like a mortgage, rent, food, clothing, utilities and entertainment.

Most people typically work from their company's central location, a physical space where everyone from that organization gathers to exchange ideas and organize their efforts.

But a few lucky souls have found ways to make money within the comfort of their own home. With the Internet, an ever-changing arena for businesses, some looking to earn money are finding ways to do so.

­Some forms are best for part-time endeavors for those looking to make a little extra money on the side, while others can lead to full-time jobs and Internet success stories.

We've put together a list of our top 5 ways to make money on the Internet, in no particular order. On the next page, we'll start with an old favorite.

Paid to Click Websites

Basically Paid to click (PTC) websites are websites that pay you a certain amount of money for clicking advertisements. Normally websites pay you 1 cent per click and the more ads you click the more money you make.

However, since there are a limited number of advertisers, the number of advertisements are also limited and are in the range of between 5-15 ads a day. Well if you only stay till this position then you will not be able to make more than $4.5 a month which is actually nothing.

But the interesting thing is that these PTC websites also pay you 1 cent when any of your referrals( Those whom you referred to the PTC website) clicks an Advertisement. So this means that even if you have referred 50 people to the website and if they are all fully active using their account then you make $225 just from your referrals, however I do not encourage people to stop using their accounts in the hope that their referrals will make money for them as I believe that if they become inactive, the more inactive people become, the lesser money all will earn because everyone is a referral of some other account and his/her earnings add earnings to the account of the person who referred him to the website. However, do not hesitate in joining through a referral link as it will not hinder your earnings.

However, these earnings are just in the case of 50 referrals, if you refer more then you can calculate your earnings. Also there is not only 1 PTC website, if you join upto 5 of websites like this you can easily make more than $1000. This is how you earn on a paid to click website.

Running your own Website/Blog

Many people make money on the Net by maintaining a website or a blog. But how they actually make money is by displaying advertisements on their blog or website. I believe this is a far more better way of earning money. However, it may also be noted that it is also far more difficult.

However, those who are using this method are earning much more money as there are many bloggers who are earning more than $10,000 a month. The aim is to increase the number of visitors to your website and then maintain it.

As you usually get paid by advertisers if their advertisements get clicked or the amount of views it gets. But if your blog is famous enough like ShoeMoney or John Chow then you can simply rent out the advertising space at the price you want.

Which way should I choose?

I would recommend that if you’re really new to this, then you should pick the first option i.e. using Paid to click websites as that is way more easier than maintaining a blog or website.

However, if you are an experienced person and you are taking the risk of setting up a website then that is even better, because eventually the money you earn wont be much, but soon it will start to add up and you can earn a quite handsome income on the Net through this.

Make Money On The Internet

I have no idea about the difference between earn money and make money. But I thought that earn money would better suit this article. To me earn money is something where you put hard work and actually work for someone to earn money whereas that’s not the actual case. Anyways, I’ll get the valuable information rolling for you to make money.
As my about page suggests, I have been into earning money almost all my life. Though my life has so far been only of 16 years but I can skillfully make use of that experience to find good ways to earn extra money online. Of course, I have had hurdles whenever I wanted to earn money.
At times it was my age, at other times it was the limitations of the country I live in and at other times it was just a lack of money needed. You cannot regard earning an additional income as a very easy way because I must tell you that it does involve work at times. So you can read my post about how to make easy money online if you want to know about that instead.

After a lot of trial and error I have in fact earned extra money. So the first thing you need to understand is that I’m talking about earning excess money. The difference is that earning extra money is the additional chunks of cash that can supplement your income. Not to be your basic source of income, although you may refer to the last lines of the article. The main feature of making additional money is that it doesn’t involve loads of hard work or knowledge.

How I Make Money Online

Before I got into SEO services I sold lingerie and sex toys online, I have no interest in these products before you ask, I needed a business that was online because I’m disabled (had to drop out of University in the final year on medical grounds) and through research found adult products have a GREAT markup.
After learning the basics of SEO (learnt on the job so to speak) I took a new site adultlingerieuk.com (now an Amazon affiliate store) from zero visitors to around 8,000 visitors a day, but used blackhat SEO techniques (comment SPAMMING, got the home page to PR7) that eventually got the site penalised. Still in the year or so it did well I sold over £80,000 in stock and the profit for that year (which was all mine) was just under £25K (~$50,000).

Since most businesses make a loss in the first two years and at the time I had less than £1,000 to spend on setting up a business (actually spent about £300 to set the business up) that was really good.
Had I not used blackhat techniques I’d have made less money in that time, but the site would still be working for me today and would almost certainly be making more than £80K is sales a year by now (the site sells nothing now).
Based on how I’ve helped similar online businesses with whitehat SEO techniques if I had to guess how that site would be doing today I’d say if it was running well it would make me around £120K a year which is more than I make right now from my SEO business and other income (I prefer doing SEO to selling adult products, think soiled returns!!!!!!!!!!!!! so no regrets).
With all this in mind IF I didn’t own a SEO business or I was starting from scratch (like I did 10 years ago) I would not go into affiliate/AdSense type sites to make a living. That’s not to say I wouldn’t use AdSense/affiliate products, but like now they wouldn’t be my main focus because you can make far more selling your own products/services online than you can make from AdSense/affiliate sales.
Think about it, AdSense/affiliate sales you make a small percentage of the revenue the affiliate and Google AdWords makes. With most affiliate type programs your lucky to make over 10%, which means to make an OK living you need to sell $500,000 of other peoples products/services! And to have a good living you need to sell $1,000,000 worth of other peoples products/services.
There’s not many people who can sell a cool million dollars worth of stuff every year!
And that’s just to have a good living, not a GREAT living.
On the other hand if you sell your own service/product you can potentially make 90%+ of the money you make (all depends on what you sell). This means you don’t have to make anywhere near as many sales as with affiliate products. And with how Google has changed over the years it’s far easier to sell your own products/services than it is to sell affiliate products/services.

Obviously the first step is register a free Blogger account and Blogspot sub-domain at http://www.blogger.com/. If you’ve never used Blogger before don’t worry too much right now which sub-domain you register as it’s free to register as many as you want (I have more than a few myself ) when you read the SEO tutorial linked at the base on this article you’ll learn what sub-domain is best to register.
I’ve been selling two AdSense/SEO Blogger/Blogspot themes under BlogSpot Blogger Templates with AdSense and SEO for a couple of years at £5 each, but barely get any orders. They use the old Blogspot legacy code (it’s much easier to SEO and add AdSense to) and that might be one of the reasons why they don’t get ordered much, also they are based on two of the original Blogger themes, so not a great deal of choice.

I’ve created a new Blogger/Blogspot AdSense/SEO theme (based on an original Blogspot theme) read about it at Free Blogspot SEO/AdSense Template Rounders 2.

You can see an example of what the theme looks like at: Lady GaGa Music Videos.

How to Make Money Online Without Spending a Dollar

There are many options for making money online without spending any money up front, I’m going to cover using free Blogspot/Blogger blogs at http://www.blogger.com/ and using AdSense and Clickbank to make money from free search engine traffic to your blog. At the end of the article is a list of links to some of my other SEO type articles, I strongly advise you read them all as I’m not going to cover much SEO here and it’s important for generating search engine traffic for free.

Firstly this is not a quick money making scheme, it’s going to take effort, in fact if someone completely new to this managed to get to $50 a day within a year of using these ideas I’d be very, very impressed (if you have money to spend WordPress is where I’d put my time, it’s better SEO wise, but it does cost money to start: hosting and domain registration fees). For a poor person living in India or Pakistan (which is where a LOT of my traffic to my money making and SEO information sites comes from!) even $5 extra a day could make a big difference to the quality of their life.

How To Make Money With Amazon?

You may not realize it but there are a number of ways you can cash in with Amazon.com. The way you choose as being the best one for you will largely depend on what you are already doing, and that’s where this particular blog comes in. By doing this you will find that you can take advantage of the sheer amount of traffic and respectability that this website commands all over the world. It’s a lot like eBay in this respect – a lot of the hard work is done for you.

One of the best things about Amazon is that everyone can make some money with it if they want to, because

it has a number of options to choose from. You will no doubt have heard about the Advantage program, which is ideal if you already have published books (no matter whether they are self published or through a conventional publisher) as you can get them listed on Amazon by following the instructions they give you in the Advantage program. This method also enables you to use On Demand publishing to minimize the risk of self publishing stacks of books that may not be sold. more

But there is a lot more to Amazon than that. If affiliate marketing is more up your street, then take a look at their Associates program, which allows you to recommend customers to various products in order to make sales on them. The program is very well put together and as you would probably expect from such a major site there is a lot of information to read through as well.

Once you have signed up for free, you should make the effort to explore everything the site offers you. You will see that you can create banners, ads and much more to enhance your site – and this even extends to the colors you pick for your ads. But one area you should definitely look at is the potential to create what they call an aStore. There are examples of these given on Amazon itself, and while they are quite basic in nature they do allow you to create web pages that are centered around a particular theme. So for example if your website is about golf, you can create an aStore which is stocked with the best books on golf and golfing.

This can be linked to from your main website or blog, giving an extra dimension to your site and giving you the opportunity to make more money from it as a result.

You can also select which colors you wish to use for these pages (you can build many more than just one!) so it will look exactly the same as your main website. You will need a website to join the program and they will vet it to make sure it is suitable for inclusion (but don’t worry, most are – it’s only the obvious types of exclusions that will apply) but this doesn’t even have to be one you pay for; people have got in by having a well constructed page or site from a free provider.

There is the potential to make a lot of money from the Associates program in particular, and it’s great to use if you have a whole range of websites since you can take advantage of the wide range of products they stock – it’s not just books and DVDs!

So if you are looking for a way to monetize the site or sites you have now, hotfoot it to Amazon and sign up for free. It is one of the best ways to start making some money by offering quality products at great prices.

Google Adsense i s no doubt one of the most preferred CPC network ad serving platform for publishers. Here are some optimization tricks to opt after creating Google Adsense account to make more money with Google Adsense. There is no doubt that once you will install Adsense ads on your busy website, you will start earning thru that, but small optimizations and customization may increase your earning by remarkable percentage. So here are some tips to optimize Google Adsense ads to earn more money thru that ad network by Google.

1. Use Section Targeting to get relevant ads : Benefit of using Google Adsense is that it serves ads related to the content of the website so that users may also find the ads useful for them. If you are having lot many things on your website which are even not related to the content shown on the page, you should use “Section Targeting” to server ads related to the main content rather than related to some static content from sidebar or footer area. This will increase the CTR (Click Thru Ratio) of your website that means your adsense ads will start getting more clicks i.e. more revenue.

2. Effective Formats of Ads – Even Google Adsense team has said that their more effective and the best performing ad formats are 336 x 280px, 300 x 250px and 160 x 600px ads. I would suggest you to install these formats of ads on your website to get more eCPM i.e. more money out of your installed ads.
3. Find Most Clicked Zone using Heatmap – Do you know where most of the visitors on your site used to click more. You can find the same using Heatmap for webpages and find the spot. Try to install Google Adsense ads near to that area to get more clicks i.e. more CTR which will tend to give your more money out of installed Google Adsense ads.
4. Filter unwanted ads from Adsense – If you find that particular ad is not giving much eCPM, you should filter out that from your Adsense account. Other eCPM rich ad will be served in place of that.
5. Install Ads in between the post content – If you are using WordPress as blogging platform, you can use plugin to insert adsense ads in between the post content. As visitor is reading the content, you may choose to serve them with ads to get clicks on them.
6. Install ads on Forum to earn more from there – As Forum is community driven content type where you need to build a strong community and then you can start monetizing that with Google Adsense. Start a forum and install ads over there to earn more.
7. Customize the color of ads as per theme – It is really important to customize the color of Google Adsense ads from the dashboard of Adsense to make ads similar to the theme color of your website. Ads should look similar to get more clicks on them. Yes, it is like making them bit confusing for visitors, but that is how you can make more money out of your website.
8. Track Adsense income in Analytics – Are you aware of the most profitable article on your website / blog? Start tracking Adsense income in Google Analytics by integrating both of them. Here is a tutorial to integrate Google Adsense with Google Analytics. This will help you in making more money with Adsense by promoting your best performing post. You can also optimize the underperforming posts by looking onto them in Analytics.
9. Placement Targeting – Do you know that advertisers can target your blog’s adsense channel and give you more eCPM if they find your site useful? Placement targeting in Adsense is an option to tell advertisers about a particular channel and let them select your website channel to serve their ads.
There may be more AdSense optimization techniques but above tips are really effective in increasing your Adsense income by remarkable amount. Share your views about the above list and let us know if any other technique is working for you.
