A journey through the internet money jungle

Its been a week

2010-01-28T11:20:00.000-08:00

I just been on a holiday, and havent done anything to make money for about a week.

From Webanswers I am still making between 3-5 $ every day, without doing anything, quite amazing. Getting around 1000 impressions per day from Webanswers.

Ehow is making a bit of a progress, now 1000 impressions which have given me just under 4$. Still hoping it will pick up soon. This blog is getting more visitors as well, which could result in more impressions overall around the different "earning" spots.

Mysurvey is proving very slow, I get offered very few reviews, which means it will take me a long time to cash out. Could be coincidence, time will tell.

My latest guides on Ehow

2010-01-18T10:11:00.000-08:00

Been busy yesterday, and managed to get 3 EHow guides online. Check them out here.

How to create a google account

How to delete the drop down menu of my past searches

How to make money being online

So far only 0.57 cent from Ehow, but in reality, I am happy to see that some money are coming in, as it will take time for the articles to be recognized in the different search engines.

Latest reviews on Reviewstream

2010-01-18T07:07:00.000-08:00

3 more reviews posted on reviewstream. Check them out here

2010 Anon Realm Goggle

2010 Bern Watts Helmet

2010 Rossignol Harmony Snowboard

All these 3 reviews only got paid the bulk rate of 0.50 $, I think it is due to the fact there are not that many keywords in the reviews.

How to increase Page rank

2010-01-17T11:22:00.000-08:00

Got another guide published on EHow, check it out here.

How to increase Page Rank

I now have 9 guides online. Still not too many views, around 500 total, expecting this to rise when the search engines sniffs them out.

Last 6 days of income from webanswers $22.29

2010-01-17T11:18:00.000-08:00

Not bad, averaging about 1000 pageviews daily and around 20 clicks. The value of the clicks are really unstable, sometimes 0.01 cent, sometimes 1-2 $. Still Webanswers is by far the best way for quick results, if it is the better longterm remains to be seen.

A legit way to make money filling out surveys

2010-01-16T10:21:00.000-08:00

Of all the different ways to make money online, survey sites are the trickiest to come by without being scammed. There are hundreds of surveysites that will waste your time, fill your inbox with scam, and never pay the money they promise.

One site you can trust is MySurvey. Once you sign up, there will be a few surveys for you to start with, these are meant to categorize you and decide which future surveys you qualify for. Make sure to fill out these thoroughly.

MySurvey is a good site to sign up for, but do not expect it to be your main source of online income. Only a few surveys will be sent to you, minimizing your potential income. Over time though you can round up a few paychecks from MySurvey.

Associated content - First impressions

2010-01-15T12:08:00.000-08:00

Associated content is a website where you can post articles, video, images and even audio on any subject you please. It is completely legit and a way to make money online. How much is the question. Associated Content pays you depending on the popularity of your articles. The more views you get, the more money goes your way. Most users report about 1$ per article per month.

Associated Content also offers specific assignments with upfront payments from 2-15$ plus the revenue made later from pageviews. You will need quite a few pageviews and a lot of articles to make real money here. The upside is that once your article is online it can keep earning you money for years.

As always when submitting articles follow these simple rules.

Avoid spelling errors and write clearly with good grammar
Add photos to your articles for more views
The more articles you post the better all your articles will perform
Write of what you know and the areas you excel in for the best results
Use keywords, but make sure they are a natural part of the text and do not over do it
Always choose catchy titles that users might search for on search engines like google
Use links when relevant. On this blog you will see many links to improve my blogs performance

Associated Content seems like a very good option for wannabe writers. This can be an entry to getting jobs online being paid to write.

At the moment I am very busy with several other sites, trying to maximise my income as quickly as possible, but I will get back to Associated Content later.

Latest published article on E-How

2010-01-15T10:19:00.000-08:00

I have been slacking a bit on E-How articles, due to lack of results from their website. I continously read good reviews and get the impression that the money is there to be made, it will just take a while to get it going.

I just published one more though, check it out here

How to choose what to do next

My statistics on E-How has not changed much, total is now 351 pageviews and 0.21$ revenue. I am still maintaining a positive outlook on E-How however.

Another good day of earning

2010-01-15T07:05:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I totaled 4.41$ all from webanswers. The money came from 1250 page impressions and a total of 21 clicks.

The amount received per click is dramatically different. Some clicks gives you just 0.01 $ while others can give you a dollar or more.

I am averaging more than 4 $ a day from webanswers now, and I am hoping to increase this as well as get some of the other sources going too.

Different way to make money online

2010-01-14T16:26:00.000-08:00

Today I posted a bunch of photos to Stockxpert, a royalty free stock photography community. Potential income is very good, if you can provide the site with good photos in popular categories.

They are VERY picky at which photos they accept. All photos must be well lit, well composed and super sharp in high resolution. If there are any persons in the photo you will need to provide Stockxpert with a model release which can be downloaded from their website.

I now have 105 photos online and I am awaiting to see how much income this can bring me.

If you should decide to try to sell photos online, make sure to fix up your photos in Adobe Lightroom or any other photo editor to lessen the risk of getting your photos rejected. Always check the guidelines from the Stock free photo websites, and try to provide them with photos that will sell. Your kitty drinking milk is probably not the most wanted photo on the net.

First earnings from E-How

2010-01-13T11:04:00.000-08:00

Today the first income came from E-How, a whopping 0.16$. Gotta start somewhere I guess. I now total have 7 published articles on E-How and have had a total of 287 page views.

Im looking forward to see if this increases with time.

Today 2.90$ from Webanswers

2010-01-13T06:41:00.000-08:00

So Webanswers is proving to provide very decent income so far. I totally answered 150 questions only 3 have been awarded so far.

It is definitely important to

Provide good clear answers
Not post very short answers
Not copy/paste from other sites

I will keep at it, get a thousand answers up there and see what that can bring

Another 2 reviews were accepted at Reviewstream

2010-01-12T07:49:00.000-08:00

Reviewstream seems like a very consistent source of income so far. Write the reviews, and you will get paid.

Check my recent reviews here

First income from Webanswers

2010-01-11T14:19:00.001-08:00

Today 5.80 $ rolled into my adsense account from webanswers

Pretty good from one day, Still have only been awarded 3 answers, so I am not sure how they count the ad revenue

Where to promote blog and articles

2010-01-10T15:21:00.000-08:00

To increase potential income right from the beginning I am making steps to promote my articles, reviews and how to's.

I submitted my blog to Liquida a directory of blogs.

I created a facebook page called How to make money online

I posted this blog in the forums on E-How

I posted all my different articles, etc as well as my blog on Digg

Posted my blog on Blogcatalog

Posted my blog on Allforblog

First impression of Amazon Mechanical Turk

2010-01-10T13:41:00.000-08:00

Amazon Mechanical Turk is a service where companies can employ humans to do small tasks computers cannot. You can sign up to perform these different tasks, and get paid to do so.

Tasks can for example be to decide if a link is categorized properly, choose the best photo to go with a text, create small video blogs and much more.

It all sounds good except the payouts are very low. Often 0.01 $ to perform a task that will take you a minute or two.

I have signed up and performed a few task so far, earning me around 50 cent but I am not too optimistic about the Mturks earning potentials.

First impressions of chacha.com

2010-01-10T13:07:00.001-08:00

chacha.com is a website that claims to pay you for answering questions, filling out surveys and more. The sign up process was very difficult and seemed sketchy to me. They try to make you sign up for multiple partner sites, and I am pretty confident that my email would be full of spam in no time, had I continued with chacha.com

I opted out of this one and move on to more safe earning options

My first answers on webanswers.com

2010-01-10T13:00:00.000-08:00

I have now answered 70 questions on webanswers, and so far been awarded best answer for 3 of them. The rest are pending a decision from the author. Already I have seen 0.07 cent in my google adsense account.

For best results it is definitely important to provide good and well written answers to gain an edge compared to other users.

The questions I got awarded are

Do I have a Virus on my computer

Trouble with screen size

How to make songs in Itunes show up in a single album folder

First impressions of webanswers.com

2010-01-10T12:54:00.000-08:00

Webanswers.com seems to be a great website. I have read many positive reviews and I am curious to see how much money you will make on webanswers.

The way you make money is that you answer questions asked on the site. Questions come in all categories. After you answer the author of the question will decide on which answer they think is the best, and if you are chosen you will receive 40% of the ad revenue that the question will bring in for a full year.

It is necessary to link you webanswers to either an existing google adsense account or create a google adsense account to receive your money.

My first "How to's" on Ehow

2010-01-10T12:47:00.000-08:00

I now published and got 7 guides published on Ehow. I have gotten a around 200 page views so far, but cannot see any earnings yet. I will let you know as soon as this changes.

Check the guides below

Ehow - First impressions

2010-01-10T12:39:00.000-08:00

My second attempt at making money online is Ehow

Ehow offers to pay its users for making guides or "how to's" on anything you can think of. Ehow is only open to US Residents and it is necessary to provide Ehow with your SSN number to receive payments.

How much you can earn on Ehow is hard to say. The general consensus is that a successful Ehow publisher will net around 1$ per guide per month. Not bad at all. To reach high number of viewers it is definitely recommended to promote your guides on Digg, facebook, blogs like this and other sites. The better writing, and the more popular subjects, the better results.

My first reviews on reviewstream.com

2010-01-10T12:01:00.000-08:00

I have now gotten 8 reviews in total approved, which has netted me 10$ into my account.

The links to my reviews are here:

Review of Samsung Q210 laptop

Review of Western Digital HD TV

Review of The Good Loaf

Review of Greensavers - An Oregon home performance contractor

Review of The North Face down vest

Review of Everest - Beyond the limit - Season 3

Review of Avatar - IMAX 3D

Review of Rossignol Scope 09 Mens snowboard

Reviewstream is a pretty safe method of getting your money, but in longterm in remains to be seen if its a good source of extra income. I will definitely continue on this site for now

First impression of reviewstream.com

2010-01-10T11:56:00.000-08:00

My first attempt on making money online is by posting reviews on http://www.reviewstream.com.

This site is legitimate and pays between 0.50 $ and 2.50 $ per review. On top of this you will be paid 0.10 $ per rating you review receives. You can review anything you can come up with, make sure to use correct spelling and use a minimum of 200 words per article. After you post the article it will take a couple of days for the review to get published and approved.

You need a minimum of 50 $ to get your first payment, and you will be paid via PAYPAL. After your second payout your review is accepted automatically and paid 2.50 $. At this point however you will need to post reviews with a minimum of 500 words.

About my quest

2010-01-10T11:53:00.000-08:00

I decided to try and see how much money it is possible to make online without spending anything other than time.

On this blog I will post my experiences and results, in an effort to show others how to make money online and which places to avoid. There are sites which are scams and will only be a waste of your time.

I hope to get some positive response, and I am excited to see if the cashflow is going to come.
