How to Make a Consistent Income Online by Writing Blog Reviews (Part 1)

Do you know that you can make a nice income with a blog without needed to make yourself or your blog popular, without getting massive amount of blog traffic, and without having to learn the blog monetizing strategies and busy testing which advertising programs work well for your blog.

By posting paid or sponsor reviews on your blog, it is possible to make $100 to $2,000 every month. But of course, there are some drawbacks if you build a blog specifically to post sponsor reviews only. Firstly your blog will not attract returned visitors because most people don’t like to read blog posts about product reviews. Secondly your visitors will not subscribe to your blog feed because again they aren’t interested to read review posts and finally your blog isn’t suitable for Google AdSense and other similar money making programs.

But don’t feel bad because of the above drawbacks as you are still able to make a good income just by focusing on posting paid reviews.

Starting a blog specifically to make money with paid reviews isn’t suitable to everyone. But if you do interested to make money online with this method, here are the steps you can follow to get started:

Step 1 - Start a Blog
Blogger.com is so popular; I bet you have heard of it. You can join Blogger.com and set up a blog absolutely free with a subdomain name of blogger.com. But I will suggest you use a custom domain name for your blog that set up in Blogger.com.

Using domain name for your Blogger blog will increase your chances of getting more paid review opportunities. The easiest way to set up your Blogger blog with your own custom domain name is by buying your domain name through Blogger. Buying a domain through Blogger will automatically set up everything for you and will attach you a new domain to your existing Blogger blog instantly. Below are the instructions from Blogger.com on how to set up a blog with your own domain name:

Alternatively, you may use Wordpress.com to set up a blog. Setting up a Wordpress blog does involve some technical works. If you need help, here is a link to a video series teaching you how to start a Wordpress blog from scratch:

http://becomeablogger.com/video-1.html

Step 2 - Decide the Topics for Your Blog
After you have set up your blog, it is now ready for posting your content for publication on the Internet. But before you know what to post, you must decide what topics you want to focus on. In the case of building a review blog, you will need to start a list of topics for your blog. It is not difficult to start numerous topics or categories for your blog, just write anything related to your life, hobby and experience and you’ll then come up with a list of topics in your blog.

To continue reading part 2 of this article, please click here.

Think about your weekly activities, you may have watched TV & movie, played games, traveled to somewhere else, seen some interested electronic products, read about the latest technologies, learned something new about computer & Internet and many other things you may have experienced. All these topics can be written down and published on your blogs. But make sure all the content you posted on your blog are legal, ethical and family friendly. Here is a real example of simple review blog that has made more than $1,800 this month (up to 30th March as recorded in Payperpost.com) just writing product reviews for the advertisers of Payperpost.com.

http://www.frenchvision.net


Take a look at the site and you will get the idea on how to start a review blog.

Your blog have to be updated with content on an on-going basis but don’t worry you don’t need to post too many blog entries. Just 2 to 4 blog posts every week will be enough.

Step 3 - Build Traffic for Your Blog
You don’t need a massive amount of traffic to make money with sponsor reviews, but you do need some consistent traffic (50 to 200 unique visitors daily) for getting paid reviews opportunities. So you are going to need to spend some time driving traffic to your blog daily. There are plenty of methods you can use to generate traffic to your blog, some of the common methods are social bookmarking, article marketing, forum posting and holding a contest. As these are common traffic-generating methods, you can use Google and search for these topics to learn everything about how to use these methods to get traffic. And probably you will find other methods of getting blog traffic that you can apply also to increase your blog traffic when searching on Google

Building traffic for your blog will help you get the most paid review opportunities from advertisers.

Step 4 - Join Payperpost.com
There are many websites offering paid review opportunities and the most popular and biggest one is Payperpost.com. So Payperpost.com is the first site you should join. Your blog have to be at least 30 days old and have at least 10 previous posts in order to participate in Payperpost program. So make sure you meet the requirements before applying for becoming a review blogger of Payperpost.com.

Opportunities are released almost every day in Payperpost.com. You need to login to your Payperpost account often to see the opportunities you are qualified to take. So if you have a list of topics or categories in your blog, you are likely to be qualified for more opportunities.

You will usually earn $5 to $15 for each review posted on your blog that get approved by Payperpost.

Another good site that offers similar opportunities is Sponsorreviews.com.

Conclusion
It will take some one to two months to build your blog with content and traffic to qualify for participation in Payperpost program and make money writing sponsor reviews. So at the beginning you wouldn’t see any money come in and you have to be willing to put some effort to build up your blog traffic.

Once you have qualified posting sponsor reviews, join Payperpost and be patient to wait for review opportunities to come. You will be getting more and more opportunities over time and make a nice income writing reviews.

The Pros and Cons of Making Money Online with Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing has become a very common way to make money online. Every day, a lot of people are using affiliate marketing to make some extra bucks from home and some of the lucky ones are even able to earn money to cover all their the monthly expenses.

But before you jump on the affiliate marketing bandwagon, you are advised to spend some time to examine the pros and cons of affiliate marketing.

The Pros
The first advantage of affiliate marketing is that it doesn't cost much to get started. Anyone can start an affiliate marketing business. All that you need for setting up an affiliate marketing business are a computer, a high speed Internet access and few hundred dollars.

You don't have to worry about how to run and profit from affiliate marketing. Internet is a good tool to help you find all the affiliate training, tips and information you need to turn your affiliate marketing business into a success.

When you are running an affiliate marketing business, you are marketing other people products or services to make money online. You job is only to send targeted visitors to the company's e-commerce website that you are affiliated with. Whenever a visitor referred by you made a purchase, you'll earn an amount of affiliate commission.

And since you are marketing other people products on the net, there is no stock you need to keep and your merchant or affiliated company will handle all the customer support and product shipping works.

Many affiliate programs will provide a lot of free promotion tools and attractive banner ads and text links to their affiliates. If you join one of these programs, you can use the quality banner ads or text links to match your website content. These ads will make your site look good and possibly generate instant affiliate commission for you.

The Cons
No matter what is being discussed, if there is an advantage, there is always a drawback as well. In the case of affiliate marketing, there are several downsides you have to keep in mind.

You have to do some researches and investigations on the affiliated company or merchant to find out whether it is a reliable company before really joining it. There are unscrupulous and dishonest companies sometimes just close down their affiliate programs without giving prior notice to affiliates. They leave without paying commissions which is even worse.

Affiliate marketing isn't a get rich fast program. You have to take the time to optimize your website and squeeze page so that they will generate good click-through rate consistently. And you need to put hard effort on testing which online marketing techniques are working well with your affiliate programs.

In some niches, you need to build an email list before you can earn affiliate commission. The process of affiliate marketing is you promote your website to get targeted visitors, from your website, you'll encourage your targeted visitors to click on your affiliate ads and links to your merchants sites so that they will make a purchase. But if you are marketing affiliate products related to Internet marketing, home business or online business niches, the visitors you refer to your merchants sites will not make a purchase on their first visit. You must collect their email address to send follow-up email to them to encourage them buy your affiliate products.

Conclusion
Affiliate marketing has pretty high profit potential. But, it is an online business that requires patient, hard work and the right knowledge to achieve success. You may be very interested to start earning money with affiliate marketing because of the advantages it offers but keep in mind that there are drawbacks and challenges you have to deal with.

With the right mindset, knowledge and marketing plan, you can make good profits online through promoting affiliate products or services.

5 Steps to Start Making Money Online with CPA Advertising Programs (Part 1)

As you may have heard of cost-per-action (CPA) advertising, it is an online advertising model where the website publisher will be paid only when a visitor sent by the publisher to an advertiser’s website takes an action. The advertiser would have specified what action that the visitor has to take to qualify for earning. The action can be a sale, a lead, a sign up, etc.

To make money with CPA adverting program, you need a website or blog. You will use the website or blog to display CPA ads and make money for each qualified action your visitors take in your advertisers websites.

Below is a step-by-step plan to help you get started in making money with CPA ads.

Step 1: What is Your Topic or Theme?
For any money making method that needs a website, the first step will always be choosing a right topic or subject. Before you start building a website, you are going to need to decide a topic that your website will be focusing on. Some of the topics good for CPA ads are insurance, debt consolidation, mortgage loan, entrepreneur, Internet & home business and travel.

You don’t have to use any of the above topics if you don’t like any of them. You can pick a subject that you have a passion in. But make sure you are using a topic that is commonly known by the public.

Step 2: Create Articles and Content
Once you have decided your website topic, it is time to start writing content about the topic for publication on your website. You will want to publish articles and content that your targeted visitors interested to read. So be sure to do some online researches before start writing about your topic. Go to Google and type in several keywords related to your topic, you may find some writing ideas. Another site good for getting content idea is Ezinearticles.com. Just go to the deepest article sub-categories relevant to your topic, click any article link inside the sub-categories and you will be sent to an article page. At the bottom of the article page, you will see a list of most viewed article titles in Ezinearticles in the past 90 days. You can think about writing some of these most viewed titles as they can attract a lot visitors and readers.

If you aren’t able to write articles, you can pay others to create the content you need for your website by using the services of freelance writers through a freelance website like Elance.com or Guru.com.

Another option to get content is to buy private label rights articles and re-write them to best suit your website.

Step 3: Create a Niche Website

There are a few of good web building software you can use to create a website. These web building software are designed to be very user-friendly. So you don’t have to worry if you don’t have the necessary web design knowledge and skills to create a site. These site building tools allow anyone to build a site without technical knowledge. Here are 2 good website building software available for you to build your own website:
Since you are building a niche content site, I would suggest you check out other sites that provide the similar topic and content to get some ideas on how you want your site layout, format and navigation sections look like.

You should also add a few pictures to make your site look attractive. If you can find some interesting instructional videos from YouTube and upload them to your site, that is even better because this will increase your website ‘general interest’ value.

Step 4: Drive Traffic to Your Website
Once you have purchased a domain name and web hosting package to launch your website on the Internet, you need to start generating traffic for the website as quick as possible. Those big CPA advertisers will surely interested to advertise on websites that can get a consistent amount of traffic.

To do this, you would use exactly the same techniques that most web publishers apply to generate traffic for their sites such as social bookmarking, article marketing, commenting on other blogs, forum positing and PPC advertising.

If you do want to use PPC advertising to get traffic, Bidvertiser.com may be a good choice to you. With Bidvertiser, you can get target visitors for as low as $0.08 per visitor.

Step 5: Join a CPA Advertising Network
A CPA network will typically contains few hundreds to thousands of CPA advertising programs divided into different categories where you can choose the most suitable CPA programs for your website topic.

Here are a few of the leading networks you can join in order to gain access to the CPA advertising programs available:
When choosing CPA programs in a network, try to register with those programs that offer pay per lead or per sign up instead of pay per sale because sale involves money being spent by visitors. It is much harder to generate income by creating sales for the CPA advertisers as compared with creating free lead or sign up.

If you are approved from applying a CPA program in a network, you can start placing contextual or other forms of ads of the program on your website instantly, and then of course you should increase your traffic-generating efforts to maximize the amount of visitors who come to your site in order to make the most from CPA advertising.

You CPA ads locations on your website are important to your success. You should place your CPA ads in different locations of your site to see which location gives you the most visitor clicks. Placing your ads within your content area is one the best ways to maximum your visitor clicks.

The more people clicking your CPA ads would mean the more visitors you have sent to your advertisers, and probably the more leads you will generate for your advertisers which mean greater ad revenue you’ll earn.

The secret to network marketing online

Many affiliates online give up as quickly as they join any internet network marketing business. That is the real reason why most of the people who start internet mlm business ventures fail. This article talks about the importance of persistence and ways that you can exemplify this belief for your down line.

Persistent in belief
Some of the top online network marketing gurus if you listen to what they say, have this in them. The art of persuasion is partly founded in persistence. If you truly believe that you can achieve greater financial mastery online though your internet mlm business, your actions and even your words will translate such belief and affirmation. However if you waver in your thoughts, the power of your conviction will not be seen in the things that you do.


Persistence in time spent promoting
An internet mlm business like all sales and marketing business ventures requires time spent marketing and promoting online. Let no one try to seduce you into joining one million hits per day hit exchanges, because for the amount of time spent on them, why not spend some time learning more about Search Engine Optimization. Draw out an action plan after you finish your business plan and then work from there. Be persistence about your plan and do something everday or weekend to promote your business. Everything about sales is about promotion and network marketing online is no exception.

Persistence in money spent
You have to be a little persistent in spending money out of the pocket at the very first. It’s funny how most people will know how to get a loan to build a regular business venture but bulk at spending money to build their online network marketing business. True there is the objection about trust and fly by night schemes but once you have established the validity of the business venture you are running, start planning and spend money according to a business plan and estimate how much you will be making monthly and try to hit those targets.

In conclusion, persistence and the hardworking ethic has been with us since the Protestant Reformation and the value of persistence in online network marketing cannot be understated as it is the foundation of any successful business Endeavour be it offline or online.

How to Make Money Selling Antiques on eBay

Many people have said that antiques and collectibles are some of the most difficult items to start selling on eBay. However, people also said that these items have good potential on becoming the biggest sales on eBay.

So just what are the things a new eBay seller must know before setting up an auction to list their first antique or collectible for sale on eBay?

First of all, the markets of both the antiques and collectibles are moving slow. Antiques and collectibles trading aren't active like most other markets where huge qualities were transacted every day. So if you want to turn a fast profit with antiques and collectibles, you would do better with seasonal, general, or limited lifetime items.

eBay is a great marketplace to make money with antiques and collectibles selling, but these goods aren’t typically fast sellers. This is mainly due to the limited supply of antiques and collectibles. They are rare items and cannot easily be obtained in bulk, so the supply is very limited. On the other hand, the demand is also limited to people who both have the interest and can afford the items. As you can see, you have to be prepared for keeping certain antiques and collectibles with you for some time before the right customers come to you and buy your items.

Another challenge that new eBay sellers have to face is the high stock purchasing cost of an antique business. These goods don’t come cheap. In addition of that, finding a great deal on a rare item has a lot to do with luck and connections.

To achieve success in antique business, you need have a passion on antiques and collectibles and also have good knowledge on these items. One way to offset the high stock purchasing cost and the limited sales potential of antiques and collectibles is to use several sales channels. Listing your items on eBay is a good way to make lucrative profits, but you might not be able to clear out your stock with eBay alone. Search for other online and offline auctions dedicated to antiques. Contact your local dealers and get to know them. They are often a useful source of information.

If you do have expert knowledge on items that you are selling, make sure potential customers know. They will be more likely to purchase from someone who has good knowledge and experience in antiques or collectibles. They will expect that the item they are getting is valuable, not a cheap (or expensive) imitation. By telling them your knowledge of antiques and collectibles, you are reassuring your potential customers that they are paying for something really rare and wonderful. Customers may also recommend you to their friends and possibly bring repeat business to you if you provide good service to them. Your excellence customer service and high quality of your products will attract buyers keep on purchasing from you.

Lastly, focus on brands and trends that have persistent value. Some brands are popular for their rarity or their resilient craftsmanship and beauty. These brands will always have consistent demand. As for market trends, beware for hot fads that are here today and gone tomorrow.

eBay is well known for its antiques and collectibles, and for good reason. This Internet marketplace with its worldwide popularity is the perfect place to list hard to find items. Oftentimes, they are able to buy and sell items that they are interested, which makes their Internet auctioning look more like play than work. Each auction set up for reselling antiques and collectible does require some effort, but the payoffs are worth it.

Thrift sellers must keep track of their items and their listings, so excellent book keeping is needed to ensure everything run smoothly.

You don’t want to need to dig through a messy heap of stocks to search for the one that needs to be delivered. Organize your spaces to store your goods orderly. Label each item with a post-it note consisting the listing number. That way, you can find the item needed to ship easier and faster.

Maintain Good Reputation in eBay
Seller’s reputation is very important when making money on eBay. Since thrift items are usually used items which might have some damages, so the item description has to clearly specify the condition of your item. Be honest to disclose any damage the item has sustained, and include a picture of the worn or damaged areas. Specify that buyers purchase the items “as is”, and emphasize that you don't know the items’ histories and are not responsible for item failure. This may sound harsh, but you need to include these descriptions to protect yourself.

Use Listing Tools to Help Manage Your Auctions
There are good tools that you can use to make your thrift selling process easier. Bulk listers are tools that designed to start many listings at a time.

Get Your Share Of Affiliate Profits

According to a report from MarketSherpa, affiliate sales in 2006 amounted to 6.5 billion dollars. That’s Billion with a B. This is a phenomenal amount of money. Are you getting your share of affiliate profits?
The hottest sectors were adult, gambling, and retail. Areas that are expected to do well in the future are: cell phones, finance, travel, entertainment, and Internet related services. If you have not been able to make money using affiliate programs in the past, there may be an opportunity here for you.

You might start out by doing some research on affiliate programs in these hot areas. This works best if the product can be related to the content on your site or blog. Find two or three products in each area. Then look at each of the sales pages. Are they compelling? Do they make you want to buy the product? If you answer “no” to either of these questions, you should continue your search and look for other products.

Once you have found what you consider the best product in each category, develop at least two attractive ads for each product. Include a tracking string with each link so that you can determine which ad performs the best. Place these ads in various places through your site.

Keep records as to how each ad is doing. This is a key component to any ad campaign. Eliminate the worst performing ads and replace them with new ads. Again, make sure you include the tracking information. Continue this process until you can no longer see improvements in your ads.

Of course, this technique only works if you have traffic coming to your site. If you are just starting out and not getting much traffic, use a variety of traffic generation methods to bring in visitors. By using products in the strongest niches, you should begin to get your share of affiliate profits.

Using Facebook Pay Per Click Ads to Increase Your Online Business Profit

Pay per click ads have been widely used in the internet marketing world and they are probably the most used types of Internet advertising among online marketers. It is one of the effective methods for driving a lot of targeted traffic to websites and producing good return on investment (ROI) for many Internet businesses.

Today, the very popular social networking site, Facebook.com also offers Facebook Ads. It is a pay per click advertisement that any Facebook users can try. If you want to use the Facebook Ads to increase your website traffic and revenue, the first thing you must know is how to create an appealing Facebook Ads that will attract people to click on it.

A good Facebook PPC advertisement is the one that will be able to grab people's attention and to achieve that you will have to create something catchy and flashy in your ad. You must remember that people will only click on Internet ads that truly catch their attention.

Also, you have to remember that when people login to their Facebook account, most of them will be interested just in checking out what's new in their account or what's happening with their network of friends. They will always want to socialize with other Facebook users who have the similar interest.

Now, let’s talk about creating a PPC advertisement in Facebook Ads, your main task is to take away people's fixed intention (as mentioned above) when they visit Facebook or login to their profile and make them take some time to take a look at your Facebook PPC ad and click on it.

Creating a good pay per click advertisement on Facebook Ads isn’t difficult. You just need some creativity. For instance: If you are trying to market your Nokia cell phones or any kind of electronic items that people would definitely love to have, you might want to try advertising "Want an Nokia Cell Phone at a Cheap Price?".

Make Money Online by Giving Free Business Resources to Your Website Visitors

I found an Interesting cost per action (CPA) advertising program network yesterday. The CPA advertising program name is RevRespond. Basically it allows web publishers to earn revenue by offering free B2B content to their targeted visitors.

When you join RevRespond, you will be provided banners and text links that you can place on your website and blog for promoting RevRespond's free content offers. Besides banners and text links, RevRespond also has many other promotional tools and ad units to fit your website format and need.

Types of business content you will be offering to your visitors include:

* White Papers * Case Studies
* eBooks * Survey Reports
* Webinars (Live or Archived) * Podcasts
* Newsletters * And More


For each visitor click through your banner ad or link to sign up for the free content, you will make at least $1.50. So each qualified lead you generate will earn you a minimum of $1.50. If you can generate just a few leads everyday, you will earn an extra nice income every month.

RevRespond is not like most other ad networks that have ads inventories for all kinds of website. RevRespond only focuses on the business niche. So it is only suitable to websites and blogs that cover topics having to do with business.

Using AdSense to Make Money Online - Dos and Don'ts

Most people want to use Google AdSense simply because it works. It is an effective Advertising network that can help you make a lot of money online because it delivers CPC ads that are highly targeted to the content of your website and blog.

Google AdSense is a quality contextual advertising network and they did have a set of rules and policies to help maintain the quality and integrity of their AdSense program. No following the rules and policies could result your AdSense account being suspended. Below are the dos and don’ts when using AdSense:

Dos
- Post a privacy policy on your sites. Few weeks ago Google updated their AdSense terms and conditions with one new requirement that all publishers must have a privacy policy posted on all their AdSense sites to advice visitors specifically about cookies and web beacons. Don't worry if you don't know how to create a privacy policy as Jensense.com has prepared a sample that anyone can use.

- Read the program policies and the terms and conditions completely. This is to make sure you don't against any of the AdSense rules.

- Read AdSense forums, blog and articles so that you can learn from others’ experiences and mistakes.

- Learn how to optimize your AdSense ads to achieve high CTR. Test and experiment different type of optimization methods to achieve the best AdSense performance. Realize it takes time and work to see result.

Don'ts
- Never, ever, ever click on your own ads. So be very careful when you are navigating your own site.

- Never ask your friends and family members to click on AdSense ads. Rather, make money by recommending them to join Google Adsense program.

- Don’t participate in Google Adsense program strictly for fast money. AdSense isn't a get-rich-quick program. Focus on building quality content site and blog to make AdSense works well for you.

- Don't particapte your AdSense site in traffic exchange and auto surf programs as these programs can get your AdSense closed by Google.

- Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything the first day. Google Adsense program is user-friendly, take some time to learn it and you will soon understand and be familiar on the different aspects of AdSense.

Hopefully, these tips will ease you when using AdSense and help you avoid mistakes that could possibly lead to you account being terminated.

How to Create a Free Report and Use It to Make Money Online - Part 1

Free reports are getting more useful on the Internet nowadays. Many people who make money online started to use them simply because it works. Reports can be in any form but no matter what the form is, a report is simply a mini e-book usually 5 to 20 pages long that contains information about a specific topic. Visitors find free reports about topics that will help them solve a problem, learn to do something or become more knowledgeable. So if you have a useful report, there will be a group of people want to read it.

Creating a report is just like creating a lengthy e-book, it involves a few steps.

Deciding a Topic
The first thing you need is of course a topic. The topic or theme you select to write for your report needed to be related to the topic of your website. You are going to offer your free report to you visitors, so the report topic have to be the same with your website in order to attract your visitors download your report.

You may choose a general topic first then narrow down the general topic to one or two specific topics.

One you know specifically what your topic is, the next move is to gather information and content about the topic you like to write. You can find information about your topic through search engines. The search engines will provide tons of information. You are going to have to do some filtering work and consolidate information that you actually want.

Starting You Report Writing Project
You need to first write an outline for your report. You need organization and form. An outline provides both.

After that, you can start writing content for your report. If you have knowledge in your topic, with the information you collected, writing a report shouldn't be a problem to you unless you don't like to write.

Alternative you may hire someone to produce content for your report. Guru.com and Elance.com are good places to find an expert writer. Just tell the writer what you want and the writer will write you a quality report.

If hiring professional writer is too expensive to you, then you have to look for third option which is using PLR content. There are PLR articles sites offer hundreds of PLR articles in different topics every month. You may join a PLR article site and merge the PLR articles of a topic into a report. You may need to re-write your PLR articles for better quality and a good outline is needed to make your information presented in a logical sequence.

Adding Income Streams to Your Report
If you report offer the content that your website visitors want to read, you visitors will want to download it to get the info and possible generate good income for you.

Build a Profitable List
Report is proven to be useful for building a list. So the most important thing you must to is to create a sign up form and place the form on your website so that your visitors can see your offer of free report and type in their name and email address to sign up and download your free report.

Every visitor who downloads your report will be opted-in to your list during the sign up process. This way you can grow your list and occasionally you can send your offers to your list. Those who trust you may purchase from you every time you send out a promotional email. This is a good and steady long term stream of online income to you.

To get even more list subscribers with your report, you can create a squeeze page specially for people to sign up and download your free report. By using different marketing methods to send visitors directly to your squeeze page, you can expect to see a great profitable list.

In case you haven't read part 1 of this article, please click here.

2) Insert Affiliate Links into Your Report
Whenever possible, place a related affiliate links into a content page of your report to refer your readers a useful product or service. This is one of the ways that some Internet marketers applied to make lot of cash online.

But you don't want your readers feel like they are reading a sale letter, so don't place too many affiliate links into your report. Try to make it like 1 affiliate links in every 4 pages. Make sure the affiliate products that you are recommending are relevant to what the readers are reading on that page.

3) Selling Advertising Space in Your Report
You may search for advertisers who are selling products or services directly related to your report topic and contact them to offer your advertising space.

Marketing and Distributing Your Free Report
When everything is ready, it is time to market and advertise your reports to attract your target visitors to sign up and download your report. There are numerous methods to reach your free report offer to your target visitors of course:

Pay Per click Advertising
Advertise your offer on Google and Yahoo search engine is probably the fastest way to get people to download your report. But it pays to get result, make sure your set your budget not too high to keep your cost under control.

Use a Banner Ad
You can find someone to create a banner ad specifically to promote your free report. Those who click you banner ad should be send to your squeeze page instead of to your website for getting better result.

So where to place your banner ad on? I would suggest you to do some searches on Google to find sites and blogs that are related to your report and request to place your ads on these sites and blogs.

You may also search for other popular blogs that are related to your report. These popular blogs usually have large traffic, so they may send you some consistent daily traffic.

Article marketing
This is a very low cost traffic-generating method. You can hire someone to generate a few articles every day for you and submit them to big article directories like Ezinearticles, goarticles.com and ArticleDashboard for publication. Just make sure your writer is supplying articles that are relevant to your reports or website topic.

Your article pages in article directories will attract readers. Some readers will click your link inside your author bio to visit your squeeze page and get your report.

E-zines Advertising
Today, E-zines are everywhere on the Internet. Just type in the keyword 'Ezines Advertising' in Google and you will find a lot of e-zines offering advertising opportunities in different categories.

There are free and paid e-zines advertising opportunities, the free one wouldn't produce result usually, so you should directly look the paid one. Make sure you pick the categories that are related to your report when doing e-zines Advertising.

Placing paid e-zine ads can do some help in getting more people to download your report as some e-zine readers are actually reading your offer and signing up on your squeeze page for your report.

The methods to market a report aren't limited to the above methods only. There are many more other methods you can use for distributing your report. But most of these methods have one thing in common which is that they all require some time, effort and energy from you to see result and bring in money to you.

How to Make Money Online with Membership Site?

Idea #1: Charge a Subscription Fee
This will be the main and steady source of income to those who choose to run a paid membership website.

Charging a subscription on a monthly basis is a great idea, but you must be able to maintain your membership site well in order to encourage your members to renew their memberships.

Since membership renewals will be your first concern, you will need to keep on adding valuable content for your members to meet their expectation. Renewals will keep a site alive and generate ongoing income for the owner.

Idea #2: Sell Advertising Space
Whether your membership site is paid or free, you can sell advertising space on your site to companies or sellers that sell products relevant to the topic of your website. You may contact these companies directly to offer you ad space or through an advertising network.

Idea #3: Sell Your Own Product
Some people build a membership site specifically to sell their products or services. You too can use this method. The products you are offering to your members have to be related to the subject of your membership site. For example, if you site topic is about guitar, then you may offer products like guitar lesson, guitar equipments, etc.

Idea #4: Sell Affiliate Product
The idea is to insert your affiliate links and banner ads into your membership site so that every member can see them and click on them. Any sale results from your affiliate ID will earn you an affiliate commission. Like idea #3, the affiliate products you are promoting must be related to the theme of your site.

Promote Your Membership Site to Get Members
Like any other types of websites, you need to drive targeted visitors or traffic to your membership site. The number of members you can get and the amount of money you can make will depend on the amount of traffic you are getting. The more traffic you get the better the result.

There are plenty of Internet marketing techniques you can use to promote your site and generate traffic. Here a short list of them:

  • Article marketing
  • Blog and forum marketing
  • Press release
  • Viral marketing
  • Search engine optimization (SEO)

  • Buy text link
  • Banner advertising
  • Ezine advertising
Free lessons on the above online marketing techniques are every where on the Internet. Just do some searches on Google or visit Internet marketing forums and you will find free tutorials, guide, courses and content about these topics.

Apply what you learn to market and promote your website. Work hard to use some of these techniques to generate traffic. Take time to test and experiment these techniques to see which one are effective and which one are not helpful.

Make Money Online With Paid Surveys Sites: The Good And The Bad

There are few hundreds of online market research and survey companies advertised their website on the Internet. It cost nothing to join these paid survey sites and once you became their member, you’ll receive emails inviting you to participate in an online survey that offers cash or gift as a thank for your participation.

Paid survey companies are just like everything else in life, there are the good and the bad.

The “good” survey companies and sites are those that actually pay you a small amount of money ($2-$5) or offer gifts every time you completed a paid survey, never sell your personal information to others, don't send you numerous sale e-mails that have nothing to do with paid survey, and let you know exactly how much you’ll earn for each survey you are participating. Joining the good survey companies and sites are a good way to bring in a few extra bucks from the comfort of your home. They are usually reliable and reputable marketing research and survey companies. Their website will provide detailed information about the company background and operations; and paid survey earning incentives.

The “bad” online survey companies are those that offer cash for taking survey, but send you so much marketing and spam e-mails to your inbox that you have to spending some time every day just to delete all of it. The "bad" survey companies can say to be legitimate as they do keep their promise of paying cash once your earning have reached minimum payout. But they will continuously trying to get you to visit the websites of their marketing partners, where you will be pressured into signing up to learn more about affordable health insurance. If they see that you show a little sign of interest, you might be getting at least three calls a week from various telephone representatives asking you to take their offers.

However, there is a good news about these "bad" survey companies. There usually have an affiliate program you can sign up so that you can make money online by referring others to become a member the site. But you may be under pressure to refer people to join these survey companies as they are bad. These companies may annoy those members referred by you because they will keep on sending sale offers to members.

You will need to join as many survey sites as possible in order to earn a nice extra money monthly. So if you have joined the “good” sites, you’ll have nothing to worry about but be careful with the “bad” sites if you are a member of them.

Ways to Make Money from your Website

Websites are one of the top ways to make money online, and tthere are many ways to make money with your website. Do you want to monetize your Website? Some people have strong personal feelings with respect to making money from their Websites. If you think commercializing your Website is evil, immoral, unethical, uncool, lame, greedy, obnoxious, or anything along those lines, then don’t commercialize it. But also remember that if your website provides quality information it is just like any magazine or newspaper. Generating income from your Website is very challenging in today’s environment compared with several years ago. You should feel good to earn income from your Website — you should be driven by a healthy ambition to succeed. If your website provides genuine value, you fully deserve to earn income from it.

Can you make a decent income online?

Yes, absolutely. At the very least, a high five-figure annual income is certainly an attainable goal for an individual working full-time from home. If you have a day job, it will take longer to generate a livable income, but it can still be done part-time if you’re willing to devote a lot of your spare time to it. I’ve always done it full-time.

How should you choose an affiliate program? My suggestion is not to choose a program according to the payment scheme, but rather according to the kind of people who are likely to visit your website. For example, if you are targeting parents on your site, links to affiliates with educational software, books and the like may generate more revenue than banners that link to web hosting companies. The most important rule of choosing an affiliate program is to know your target audience. Affiliate systems allow you to run ads for other businesses and make money when people click on the ads. Content websites typically earn money through one of four ways: Commission/Affiliate ads, selling text links, selling your own ads, and pay for click search engine content.

Most news websites earn the bulk of their money through ppc advertising networks. Google, Yahoo, and Miscosoft search engines all offer these services. Ad networks can handle the sale and display of ads on your site. All you need do is drop a few lines of code into your Web pages where you want the ads to appear. The most popular ad network for independent publishers is Google's AdSense program. AdSense is a "pay per click" program, where you earn money each time one of your readers clicks on a Google-served ad. Since you earn money on clicks, rather than completed sales, PPC ad networks can provide a more reliable source of income for sites whose readers are not looking to make a purchase right away. Other notable PPC ad networks include the Yahoo! Publisher Network and Ad Voyager.

The following are the Various way to earn money.

PPC Advertising Networks
Google AdSense is the most popular option under this category, but there are also others. Basically you need to sign up with the network and paste some code snippets on your website. The network will then serve contextual ads (either text or images) relevant to your website, and you will earn a certain amount of money for every click. The profitability of PPC advertising depends on the general traffic levels of the website and, most importantly, on the click-through rate (CTR) and cost per click (CPC). The CTR depends on the design of the website. Ads placed abode the fold or blended with content, for instance, tend to get higher CTRs. The CPC, on the other hand, depends on the nice of the website.

Direct Banner Advertising
Selling your own advertising space is one of the most lucrative monetization methods. First and foremos it enables you to cut out the middleman commissions and to determine your own rates. The downside of direct banner advertising is that you need to have a big audience to get qualified advertisers, and you will need to spend time managing the sales process, the banners and the payments.

Text Link Ads
After Google declared that sites selling text links without the nofollow tag would be penalized, this monetization method became less popular. Many website owners are still using text links to monetize their sites, though, some using the nofollow tag and some not. The advantage of this method is that it is not intrusive. One can sell text links directly through his website or use specialized networks like Text-Link-Ads and Text-Link-Brokers to automate the process. The major search engines determine a websites rank and placement based on how many other sites link to them. So, webmasters buy links to their website to help boost their search engine rankings.

Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a very popular practice on the Internet. Under this system you have a merchant that is willing to let other people (the affiliates) sell directly or indirectly its products and services, in exchange for a commission. Sometimes this type of advertising is also called CPA (cost per action) or CPL (cost per lead) based. Affiliates can send potential customers to the merchant using several tools, from banners to text links and product reviews. Commission Junction, cj.com, is one of the most popular Affiliate networks.

Monetization Widgets
The latest trend on the web are widgets that let you monetize your website. Examples include Widgetbucks and SmartLinks. Some of these services operate under a PPC scheme, others behave like text link ads, others yet leverage affiliate links. Their main differentiator, however, is the fact that they work as web widgets, making it easier for the user to plug and play the service on its website.


Sponsored Reviews
PayPerPost pioneered this model, with much controversy in the beginning (related to the fact that they did not require disclosure on paid posts). Soon other companies followed, most notably Sponsored Reviews and ReviewMe, refining the process and expanding the paid blogging model. Joining one of these sponsored reviews marketplaces will give you the opportunity to write sponsored posts on a wide range of topics.

RSS Feed Ads
With the quick adoption of the RSS technology by millions of Internet users, website owners are starting to find ways to monetize this new content distribution channel. Feedburner already has its own publisher network, and you can sign-up to start displaying CPM based advertising on your feed footer. Bidvertiser recently introduced a RSS feed ad option as well, with a PPC scheme.

Sponsors for Single Columns or Events
If you website has specific columns or events (e.g., a weekly podcast, an interview series, a monthly survey, a special project) you could find companies to sponsor them individually. This method increases the monetization options for website owner, while giving advertisers the possibility to target a more specific audience and with a reduced commitment.

Premium Content
Some websites and blogs give away part of their content for free, and charge for access to the premium content and exclusive tools. They have a very popular blog that gives advice and information on wide range of SEO related topics. On top of that visitors can decide to become premium members

Private Forums
While the Internet is populated with free forums, there is also the possibility to create a private one where members need to pay a single or recurring fee to join. There are many possibilities to create a private and profitable forum, you just need to find an appealing angle that will make it worth for the members.

Job Boards
All the popular blogs are trying to leverage job boards to make some extra income. Needless to say that in order to create an active and profitable job board you need first to have a blog focused on a specific niche, and a decent amount traffic. The advantage of this method is that it is passive. Once you have the structure in place, the job listings will come naturally, and you can charge anywhere from $10 up to $100 for each.

Marketplaces
Depending on your niche, a market place that allows your visitors to buy, sell and trade products could work well. Over the time you could start charging a small fee for new product listings. The problem with this method is that there is no standard software on the web, so you would need to hire a coder to get a marketplace integrated into your website.

Paid Surveys and Polls
There are services that will pay you money to run a small survey or poll on your website. Basically, you need to sign up with them, and select the kind of polls that you want to run your site. Most of these services operate under a CPM model.

Selling or Renting Internal Pages
These websites sell for a single fee or rent for a recurring fee internal pages on their domain. Usually they have either high Pagerak or high traffic, so that people purchasing a page will be able to benefit in some way. Implementing this method on a small blog would be difficult, but the concept is interesting and could be explored further.

Donations
Placing a “Donate” link or button on a website can be an efficient way to earn money, especially if your blog is on a niche where readers learn and gain value from your content. Personal development and productivity blogs, for instance, tend to perform well with donation based systems.

In-text Adverting
In-text adverting networks will place sponsored links inside your text. These links come with a double underline to differentiate them from normal links, and once the user rolls the mouse over the link the advertising will pop. Should the user click on it the site owner will make some money. Some people make good money with this method, but others refrain from using it due to its intrusiveness. It is also interesting to note that very few mainstream websites have experimented with in-text advertising.

Pop-ups and Pop-unders
Pop-ups are a common yet annoying form of advertising on the Internet. If you are just trying to make as much money as possible from your website, you could experiment with them. If you are trying to grow the traffic and generate loyal visitors, however, you probably should stay away from them. Just consider the hundreds of pop-up blockers out there: there is a reason why they are so popular.

Audio Ads
Also called PPP (Pay Per Play), this advertising method was introduce by Net Audio Ads. the concept is pretty simple: play a small advertising audio (usually 5 seconds) every time a visitor enters into your website. The user should not be able to stop it, creating a 100% conversion rate based on unique visitors.

Selling the Website
Selling your website could be your last resource, but it has the potential to generate a big sum of money in a short period of time. Marketplaces on online forums like DigitalPoint and Sitepoint are always active with website buyers and sellers. Keep in mind that they use parameters to determine the value of a website, such as the monthly revenue.

Selling Templates or WordPress Themes
As more and more people decide to get an online presence, website templates and WordPress themes become hotter and hotter. On this segment you have mainstream websites like TemplateMonster, as well as individual designers who decide to promote and sell their work independently.

Offering Consulting and Related Services
Depending on your niche, you could make money by offering consulting and related services. If you are also the author of your blog, the articles and information that you will share will build your profile and possibly certify your expertise on that niche, making it easier to gain customers.

Creating an Email List or Newsletter
Email lists and newsletters represent one of the most powerful marketing and money making tools on the Internet. They offer incredible conversion rates, and the possibility to call people to action in a very efficient way. Creating a big list is a difficult task though, so if you have a popular website you could leverage it to increase the number of subscribers on your list.

Automated Context-Sensitive Advertising
One of the latest trends in website sponsorship is to sign up with an advertising network like Google AdSense The advertising network automatically checks your web page and determines the most relevant advertisement for the page. As a result, without much additional effort from you, you get advertisements targeted at the interests of your visitors. As mentioned earlier, targeted ads tend to result in better performance and returns

Selling Banner Ads
Advertising revenue is one of the most effortless ways to earn money from your site. You merely have to put the banner there and wait for the money to roll in. (Well, okay, not quite. You will still need to have some visitors first before you can make anything.)


How to build traffic for your Websites,
Now if traffic is so crucial, how do you build it up to significant levels if you’re starting from rock bottom? Why is traffic so important? Because for most methods of online income generation, your income is a function of traffic. If you double your traffic, you’ll probably double your income (assuming your visitor demographics remain fairly consistent). You can mess almost everything else up, but if you can generate serious traffic, it’s really hard to fail. With sufficient traffic the realistic worst case is that you’ll eventually be able to monetize your web site via trial and error (as long as you keep those visitors coming). If you can’t build traffic, it is going to be very difficult to succeed. Traffic is the primary fuel of online income generation. More visitors means more ad clicks, more product sales, more affiliate sales, more donations, more consulting leads, and more of whatever else that generates income for you. And it also means you’re helping more and more people.

With respect to traffic, you should know that in many respects, the rich do get richer. High traffic leads to even more traffic-building opportunities that just aren’t accessible for low-traffic sites. If you’re intelligent and web savvy, you should also be able to eventually build a high-traffic web site. And you’ll be able to leverage that traffic to build even more traffic.


In the End I don’t think one will get very far if money is his motivation for website. You have to be driven by something much deeper. Money is just frosting. It’s the cake underneath that matters most.
