Get Paid for your RSS Feeds?
2008-01-07 20:47:00 If you are a Bidvertiser publisher and have their advertisements displayed on your site (like I do), you probably received an e-mail the other day on their newest feature - 'BidVertiser Ads for your RSS Feeds.'Apparently, you can now display the Bidvertiser cost-per-click ads within your feeds. In addition to that, you can also get their 'multiple-subscription Feed Widgets' to help you publicize your feed.That's a mixture of free additional traffic AND getting paid for it!That sounds pretty good to me, though, I have yet to experience it so I'm giving it a try. I will report back on how effective this new program really is.And if you're tired of Google Adsense or any other pay-per-click ads that aren't working too well on your site, feel free to try out Bidvertiser. The unique part is they tell you what are the most paid out CPC advertisers they currently have. And if that falls under your niche, then thats even better!So, if you haven't already signed up, what are you... More About: Paid
I’m Your Friend Not Your Foe – Let’s Collaborate!
2008-01-06 09:35:00 I’m taking my phrase “Help Me Help You Earn Money with Blogging Tips Through MY Personal Experience” to another level. I have never seen anyone as my competition (especially with some many money making blogs out there), but rather a friend, an ally, a fellow blogger that’s just trying to do the same thing I’m trying to do – make money.I started this blog because I felt like I could help people with the good and bads. I mean, designing peoples’ 125 x 125 ads for one dollar? Giving away FREE link love to ANYBODY that wants it? Informing people on how to build traffic and make money? If I’m not trying to help you, then I’m not so sure what help is anymore!Though, I recently collaborated with Patrick of Piggybankpie.com and his collaboration idea just reminded me how we should continue to support each other as bloggers.

Blogging Theft! – Bloggers Steal Other Peoples’ Work?!
2008-01-05 05:18:00 We are all paranoid with identity theft, well, maybe that’s just me. But I’m hearing and seeing more and more bloggers stealing – yes, STEALING – other bloggers’ original content and claiming it’s their own. Why would people steal? I can understand “borrowing” material and crediting the source, but when you DO NOT credit them, that’s called “stealing.”I’m not going to put any blogs out there because I would only be giving them more publicity than they deserve. But the other day when I was browsing through various blogs, I noticed an article that looked very familiar. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t mine. Though, as I was reading the title, then the introduction and kept reading, I was thinking “damn, this looks VERY familiar.”After I stupidly finished reading the entire article, I checked to see if there was a source or any type of credit given.None. None whatsoever.I realized where I read that exact article from; my e-mail. Yes, I subscribed to... More About: Blogging , Work , Bloggers , Theft , Steal
I Will Design Your 125 x 125 Ad for You for ONLY $1
2008-01-03 21:57:00 Do you need help designing a 125 x 125 ad? Or are you sick of your current one but just don’t have time to make a new one? Well, let me do it for you!As a promotion to help people get more involved with Entrecard.com and to drop their cards at both of my blogs (DatMoney.com and DatCurious.com) I am offering my services to design a 125 x 125 ad through the month of January.The cost will be one dollar. Yes, one whole dollar. Most people would probably charge at least one month's paycheck $20 to do this.I’m just encouraging people to join Entrecard.com because I feel it’s a pretty good service. You don’t have to use the 125 x 125 ad for that site; you can use it for other purposes (such as advertising on other sites or even on your own) if you choose to. But I would jump on this opportunity because this mini promotion is only going to last through January 2008.Again, it’s only ONE dollar.Just take a look at my own design to the right where it says “Advertise Here!”If you...

How to Get FREE Advertising on John Chow’s Blog
2008-01-02 19:00:00 Yes, FREE advertising on John Chow’s blog! Nope, it’s not a lie, there’s no money, dinero, yen, or any other currency involved. All you have to do is sign up for Entrecard.com.Was that a link bait? I wouldn’t say so. Technically, you don’t have to pay a dime.I’m sure most of you guys have heard about Entrecard.com, it’s a new “free exchange network” that displays a 125 x 125 advertisement on blogs that are displaying this widget (And yes, it does include big name bloggers like John Chow).If you need an example, just look to the right and when you sign up, feel free to drop your card! I also did a screenshot of the dashboard.But essentially, you build “credit” and use that as your currency to buy advertisement on various blogs. There’s three ways of earning credit:You earn 1 credit every time you “drop your card” for someone else. (Simply by going to a person’s blog and clicking on “Drop Yours” on the Entrecard widget.You earn 1 credit when someone d... More About: Advertising , Free , Blog
New Year’s Resolution, or Not
2008-01-02 18:24:00 I hope I'm not the only one who gained like 10 extra pounds over the break, but to kick off a New Year, here's a meme for all of you! *Start Copy Here*When it comes to New Year’s Resolution s we seem to fall into four categories: 1) quite serious about them,2) be flippant about them,3) do it because we feel pressured to, or4) do not do them.So, the purpose of this little game is to let us know which category you are in. Copy from “*Start Copy Here*” through “*End Copy Here*” and post it. Before "*End Copy Here*" tell us who you are, your site(s) (with link) and your New Year’s Resolution, or not. Then tag as many others as you like, from one to your entire blogroll, your choice.If you like, create an intro paragraph to your post that also acknowledges who tagged you.NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS:Juliana – Juliana's Site - My New Year's resolutions are looking for a part time job, keep blogging, and learn to cook and bake.Michelle - Rusin Roundup - 1.
