Make Money Promoting Bloggeries
2008-06-03 19:58:00
Bloggeries is a great blog directory for any blogger to have their blog listed. The main page is a page rank 6, with the categories ranked as well. Bloggeries also has a forum as well as a blog that does reviews.Now, you can make money by referring people to the directory. To get listed it costs $34.99 for a permanent link, or $49.99 annually for a featured link.So what do you get out of that?For everyone that you refer to the blog directory and buys a listing, you will earn $20 for every sale. You can also earn money for referring friends to the affiliate program. For every sale that your referral makes, you get an additional $5.The affiliate program has just been announced, so there is plenty of time to start promoting and getting your friends to sign up.

Monetize Your Blog with OIOPublisher
2008-05-15 01:36:00
OIOPublisher is a do-it-all wordpress plugin that will allow you to monetize your blog without a middle man. Essentially your plugin acts as your middleman, and you keep 100% of the commmission and earnings. To even have your visitors try to help, you can run your own affiliate program!You can run the OIOPublisher for link sales, banner ads, rss footer ads and more. You have the option of running it as nofollow if you chose, or you can charge more for people who want dofollow. You really have to buy the plugin to explore all of the options it has.The downside of the plugin is that you do have to buy it, however it is a small fee. The plugin runs for $37, but you only have to buy it once for all of your blogs.If you use the coupon code QWERTY-5 before May 20th, 2008 you can save $5 on it. I've already used a coupon to buy the plugin.The plugin isn't active on this blog (because its on blogger), but you can see it in action at Blog About Your Blog. The banner space that is currently...

PepperJam Network Sweeps Blogosphere
2008-02-11 20:28:00
The Pepperjam Network has launched (or re-launched) with huge success and praised by bloggers. I reviewed Pepperjam on my blog about a month ago and have already earned 50$ just for referring bloggers to their service.Affiliates for BloggersWhat some affiliate programs lack is things for bloggers to promote. Those who blog about blogging, personal blogs, making money online, etc. Pepperjam offers affiliates like ReviewMe, Text-Link-Ads and SeoMoz.If that isn't your category there are tons of clothing, health, technology, computer, and men or women affiliates.Setting Themselves ApartTwo things, in my opinion, set apart Pepperjam from other companies.Number 1, their affiliate support is amazing. Several inquiries I have sent were answered within a day. Not only that you can Instant Message them directly with their own IM system.Number 2, is Pepperjam Ads. Pepperjam Ads are similar to Google Adsense, however you promote your affiliates. So it's just like any other banner or text link...

Want To Publish Newsletters? Join iContact!
2007-11-10 16:10:00
Many bloggers are using email newsletters to get more exposure for their site, and they're often satisfied with the results.One of the leading email newsletter providers is a site called iContact. Actually, I'm just guessing that because I'm not using the service and I really don't know much about it. All I do know is that the monthly membership costs a little less than 10$ and that over 100,000 people are using it.So why am I talking about it?iContact offers an ingenious service that will take your newsletter traffic to a whole new level. It's called iContact Community.What is it?iContact Community is a digg-like site that allows you to comment, rank, and discuss email newsletters that are spread over 18 categories, allowing their publishers to reach the front page and get more visitors to their blog.You can register to vote and comment for free, but you need to sign up for iContact newsletter service to become a publisher.The community has over 120,000 members and it's growi...

Make Money Affiliate Marketing
2007-11-06 22:25:00
All bloggers who's goal to make money blogging is to find newer, better, and more efficient ways to make money. Affiliate marketing can be tricky but very effective.What's Best for YouThe best affiliate programs are the ones you can integrate with content you are already writing. Therefore you don't have to make a special post for it, so it looks like an ad. You really want it to flow with the rest of the website. I would suggest finding one good affiliate program and stick with it.Super AffiliateZac Johnson posted about Neverblue Ads, which is the affiliate network he uses. He reported that he was able to earn 10,000$ in a month with this program.Apparently by integrating different affiliates and using PPC campaigns he made a truckload of money, all in one month. This doesn't include other services as well.NeverBlue AdsI use Neverblue Ads for several different websites. They specialize in freebie offers. There are also plenty of other programs you can use like diet campaigns su...

How Readable Is Your Blog?
2007-09-22 15:59:00
Few days ago I came across a cool website SEO tool called Website Grader. It calculates your Google PR, Alexa, Technorati Rank, Google Inbound Links, Yahoo Inbound Links, Delicious Saved Count, Google Indexed Pages and gives you a unique score (0-100). It's cool, but there are a lot more similar tools out there.What caught my attention is a neat statistic that scores your blog's readability level. It's located near the end of the report:Readability Level : ??? GradeThis score measures the approximate level of education necessary to read and understand the web page content. In most cases, the content should be made to be simple so that a majority of the target audience can understand it.That's great, but is it reliable? Well, there is no explanation on the grade scoring algorithm so I fetched a few scores for other sites I on similar topics but with different writing styles and compared them with Website Grader scores. Let's see the results:John Chow - 5th GradeShoemoney - 5th G...

I'm Baaaaack....!
2007-09-21 19:54:00
When I wrote my farewell post some months ago, I stated that I'll only come back if two statements became reality, but unfortunately, they haven't. However, the is another fact I didn't account for... I'm crazy about blogging!To elaborate, I gave up on blogging because of my crippled moneymaking possibilities (not being able to profit from PayPal and all that). I was frustrated at first, but I came to peace with it. You know - Sh*t happens. I came to peace with the fact that I won't be able to become filthy rich on the net, but as time went along I became miserable not being able to share my thoughts and knowledge (and vice versa) with other like and not so like-minded individuals... In other words, I missed blogging to much!I'm coming back to blog, dollars are no longer my preoccupation, which takes a lot of pressure of my back. I believe there's a lesson to be learned there:One that gets to consumed by making money, ends up loosing a lot more.What can you expect from this b...

Make Money Online with Contests
2007-07-31 02:50:00
In my last article I mentioned that traffic can be driven to your website by hosting contests. It gives people incentive to visit, and returning visits to your blog.With tons of contests going on now, you are bound to find several good ones that will really catch your eye. There are prizes to be won! Some blogs or websites are offering really GOOD prizes. Personally I have won over 100$ cash, some smaller items, and a nice MP3 player. I'm always looking for more contests to join, and WIN.The 400$ ContestJust for subscribing to INVESP 's RSS Feed you can win 400$ cash. Sometime in August they will post a "secret word" in their RSS feed. After you see it you need to send an email to contest@invesp.com with the secret code. One extremely lucky person will be chosen and win 300$To be eligible for the 400$ prize you must also be a member of their mybloglog community.This is definitely one contest I will be keeping a close eye on, I can't wait to be 400$ richer!

Increase Your Earnings with Incentive
2007-07-12 02:14:00
This post was guest blogged by Matthew Henrickson, Owner and Co-Author of Blog About Your Blog.Tons of bloggers are using contests to increase website traffic and in turn, increase their earnings. Bloggers have also found ways to run contests, with very little cost to them.From "re-gifting" prizes they've won, to having someone else sponsor their contests, bloggers can essentially have contests and only pay the shipping cost for the product.Recently I attended a Make Money Online conference, and received a free day planner. I have decided to run a simple contest, and the response has been great. We've received several links for hosting the contest.The only thing that will cost in our free day planner giveaway, will be the actual shipping cost, which should be low.If you are struggling to get and keep visitors to your blog, try offering incentive for your readers. Whether its a contest or a limited offer, you can never go wrong.

PayPal Screwed My Moneymaking Campaign
2007-06-20 14:41:00
I'm really sad when I have to abandon something I worked so hard and spent a great deal of my time on, but it happens to me so often I got used to it. My previous post about internet connection problem is nothing compared to this...Right after I solved the connection problem, I went on to create an account with PayPal. Soon as I did that, I realized my moneymaking campaign has come to an end (for now). Even though I'm eligible to send money, I can't receive any money through PayPal. I think my country banking policy doesn't allow it, not the other way around.Why am I screwed?The majority of top notch moneymaking programs hold PayPal as their only payment solution which means I can't use them and what's more important - I can't write about them. Blogging about money requires me to write about as many programs and accompanied strategies to make money from them. So as I said - I'm unable to do that.Being unable to use a lot of profitable moneymaking programs makes it almost imp...

I've Been Really Pissed Off These Days!
2007-06-11 17:57:00
A while ago I was working on a post about the main reasons people quit blogging. If I had published that story, I would have missed out on a very important fact - computer trouble.I took a couple of days off blogging last week and soon as I got back in the saddle, my freaking internet connection got totally screwed up. During the last four days it took an average of 2-3 minutes for some pages to load and a lot of them wouldn't load at all... and that's really bad considering my 1 Mbps DSL connection which normally allows my pages to load in 2-3 seconds.This whole situation made it impossible for me to find time and nerves to research and write posts over these last 4 days. Everything looks good today and I hope it'll stay that way, because I don't think I can take it anymore:

ReviewMe Payment
2007-06-06 19:37:00
Since I started blogging, ReviewMe is the latest revenue program I got engaged with, but it's the first one that actually paid me. My grand total now comes to $45. Not much, but it's just the beginning. This money comes from just one source, but I'll soon get involved with other programs such as PayPerPost and/or Sponsored Reviews and earn much more than $45! More income streams you have, more cash you earn!Speaking of more income streams, my Google AdSense campaign made me more than $45, but I have a few more $ to reach the payout level. This is another proof that sponsored reviews are the most suitable revenue source for low traffic blogs.ReviewMe Payment All of these reviews came from the ReviewMe Marketplace which made me a bit sad that no individual advertiser was interested in getting a review on this blog, especially when it costs just $40. Nevertheless, ReviewMe Marketplace proved to have some solid offers ranging higher than standard $20 I would receive from individual ad...

Agloco Forum - No Money Guaranteed!
2007-06-01 14:27:00
Will Agloco make money? Some people say it will and some say it won't. Judging by the slow development of the viewbar, I suspect a lot of time will pass before we find out. But can you make money indirectly, by posting on a forum that talks about Agloco? Yes, you can - theoretically. With Agloco Forum you can make money by posting and referring new members, but there is one small problem - you won't get paid!Why won't you get paid?See for yourself:Start a thread - $0.01Respond to a post - $0.01Refer a friend - $0.20Minimum payout - $100Now let's crunch some numbers... To reach the payout level, you need to write 10,000 posts. That means you'll have to write 27 posts each day for the next 365 days. The easier way to reach payment is to refer 500 people, or is it? Unless you have a huge family tree addicted to Agloco, it could be a decade before you get the cash. $100 is not worth going through all that trouble!So what's the point of the forum's existence? It's very clear that...

John Chow Got Bombed By Google
2007-05-30 16:15:00
I bet you heard about John Chow , a man that makes 5 figure monthly from blogging. I also bet you read his blog on a daily basis and most of you probably participated in his Review My Blog program. John started the program in hope of growing his traffic, but soon he realized its immense potential and started using it to get a high Google search rank for "make money online", which is a highly popular search phrase. It didn't take long before John climbed to the top position and he firmly stayed there, at least until today...John stayed at the top for quite a while and I was surprised to see him drop to 38-th position over night.To be make sure this was not a mistake I checked out John's position on Google UK - 42-nd position and Google CA - 12-th position. Although there may be numerous reasons for this massive drop, the most likely is so called "Google Bomb ing". If you don't know what Google Bombing is, there's a good explanation on Wikipedia.Personally, I have nothing against th...

While these clicks still show in your reports, we filter out their associated earnings so that advertisers aren't charged."A lot of people got banned from AdSense, but I'm sure non of them were banned for a few accidental clicks.

MyBlogLog Tagging - How Delicious Is That?!
2007-05-25 10:34:00
I got to hand it to MyBlogLog - It just keeps getting better and better! MyBlogLog is constantly adding new cool and useful stuff... the newest addition is tagging. Many of you know what tagging is, especially those who have experience with social bookmarking sites like Del.icio.us. So here is how tags on MyBlogLog work:Introduction to Tags"Tags are used to classify and identify an item. The difference in a typical directory classification though, is that tags are user-created, meaning YOU decide who gets grouped in whichever way suits you. You might 'tag' MyBlogLog as cool, social, blogs and friends. Or, you might tag it something less flattering. Sure, it would sadden us, but the tags you use to classify items are entirely up to you."Due to the large member base (140,000 and counting), the biggest problem users were facing at MyBlogLog was finding like-minded people to socialize with - there was no clear classification system. After introducing tags, MyBlogLog has become hig...
