Triple.Com Affiliate Program

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 18:49:00 +0000

I found a brand new affiliate program that I wanted to share with you. A lot of bloggers promote hosting companies and never get a sale. However promoting Triple.com definitely increases those chances.

Triple.com is a domain registrar and web hosting site. You can get hosting for only $3.99 per month (wow) as well as register domains for only $9.99.

Affiliate Program

Triple.com has launched their brand new affiliate program. You can earn up to 30% of all payments made by the customers you refer. So even if you refer them and they register a domain name, you still get commission. Other domain registrars don't give any commission for domains.

The minimum payout for each affiliate is only $20, so even if you manage to get only a few domain sales, you still can make some cash.

Webmaster Referrals

Not only can you earn money promoting Triple.com, you can also earn money by referring other webmasters to the program. Join now and start referring your people to the program. You can earn up to 15% of whatever they earn.

Since the affiliate program is so new, I'm sure there won't be too much of a difficulty referring anyone.

Pepperjam Giving Back to Bloggers

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:22:00 +0000

Pepperjam swept through the blogosphere and picked up some great affiliates. What really put Pepperjam over the top was the top bloggers referring. You can say that bloggers really shaped Pepperjam into the affiliate network it has become.

Now Pepperjam is paying back the blogosphere. They are doing so by increasing commission, offering a sign-up bonus, and actually paying bloggers to write about them.

More Commission

For all of July Pepperjam increased their referral commission from $5 to $7. It is just a nicely something extra, but not the best part yet. I've been able to refer 2 more people on that commission.

Sign-up Bonus

For new affiliates, joining the Pepperjam Network will start you with $10 in your account. When joining make sure to click on the banner on this post, otherwise you won't receive the special $10 offer.

Refer and Earn

On top of that, Pepperjam is rewarding bloggers that are posting about them and further promoting their brand. For every post you make you earn $10 per post.

The post can be about anything regarding Pepperjam and you can even include your affiliate referral code!

$10 Sign On Bonus for All New Pepperjam Network Affiliates.

Make Money Saving Money

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 20:30:00 +0000

Our goal here is to make money. However, I found a great opportunity where you can make money and save money. Buying and selling online seems to be more popular than ever.

TypoBuddy.com is the perfect online tool to help you save money when buying online. Typo Buddy helps you find misspelled eBay auctions. Why? Usually misspelled auctions are going to be a lot cheaper because not as many people can find them.

Well that is obviously going to save you money, but how can it make you money?

Typo Buddy is putting their money saving tool, to the test. They are running a contest where if you can find the worst misspelling eBay auction you will win. The prizes are a $30 eBay gift certificate for first and a $20 eBay gift certificate for second.

The contest ends on Monday June 23rd, but there are more contests to come, with more chances to win.

Make Money Promoting Bloggeries

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:58:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew) — Wed, 14 May 2008 23:36:00 +0000

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 for sale (only $20 for a month), is run by the plugin.

I've already made back the money I've spent on the plugin by promoting it and making sales. It's a must have for any serious Wordpress user looking to monetize their blog.

PepperJam Network Sweeps Blogosphere

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew) — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:28:00 +0000

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 Bloggers

What 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 Apart

Two 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, but in the form of text ads. On certain ad blocks on my blog, I like to rotate Google Adsense and Pepperjam Ads.

Are you a Pepperjam Affiliate yet?

Kontera and the Contest

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew) — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:34:00 +0000

Most of you know of Kontera as a money maker. Kontera serves In-Text advertising that you can run along any other advertising on your blog. I use Kontera on several of my blogs and earn pretty steady from it.

Kontera is looking to hear your experiences with their service. They are even going to pay for it, BIG!

Kontera Contest

At the Kontera blog, they have announced the Kontera Video Contest. To enter you just need to create a short video about your experiences with Kontera. The best video will win a cool 500$! Second place fetches 250$ while third gets a 100$ cash prize.

Pretty big prizes for just a few minutes of recording a video!

This contest is only available for Kontera publishers and advertisers. It's not too late to sign-up.

The contest ends March 1st. Refer to the Kontera Blog for more information about the contest.

SponsoredReviews Affiliate Program

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew) — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 22:14:00 +0000

Now sponsored reviews is giving you another way to make money online using their service. Well, instead of using it, you can promote it.

Affiliates are paid based on how much an advertiser spends, or how much a blogger earns. You can earn up to 175$ per advertiser and 90$ per blogger that you refer.

Each month you earn a payout for the people you refer.

So far I have earned 20$ for promoting their service. Make sure to join so you can earn too.

Want To Publish Newsletters? Join iContact!

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 15:10:00 +0000

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 growing fast thanks to iContact efforts to promote the site, putting up ads and buying sponsored reviews. I'm sure that the number of members will double up quickly thus giving the publishers even more exposure.

I (really) like it because...

you can find some great newsletters to subscribe to. You can actually see how they look before you even subscribe them!

it's unique! This is the first social bookmarking site for newsletters. If (somehow) it's not first, it's definitely the largest one.

people have to pay to be able to publish stories You won't have to deal with those annoying/worthless spam posts that make up a huge portion of Digg and other free social networks.

there are no "bury" buttons, which means that a publisher can't be harassed by corrupted member groups, which happens all the time on, once again, Digg. If you have a good story, it will hit the front page!

the design is neat and the pages are easy to navigate.

So if you're interested in using newsletters for your blog promotion, I suggest you start with iContact. It'll bring you more traffic than any other newsletter provider could!

This was a sponsored post. If you'd like to be reviewed by this blog, Order now for just 40$!

Make Money Affiliate Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew) — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 21:25:00 +0000

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 You

The 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 Affiliate

Zac 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 Ads

I 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 such as Dual Action Cleanse, or dating like Matchmaker.com

How Readable Is Your Blog?

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 13:59:00 +0000

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 : ??? Grade

This 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 Grade
Shoemoney - 5th Grade
CashQuests - 6th Grade
Blogging Fingers - 6th Grade
DoshDosh - 11th Grade
Copyblogger - High School + 3 Year College
Problogger - High School + 3 Year College
Blogging Secret - Advanced Degree (PhD)

When you look at the blogs that have the same score, you'll notice they are indeed similar. Shoemoney and John Chow both have simple and easily digestible writing stiles (although Shoemoney doesn't give a damn about grammar). The same goes for CashQuests and Blogging Fingers. 5th and 6th Graders probably wouldn't be able to understand the content, but they could surely read it without spelling.

DoshDosh is also clean written but its approach is a bit more professional, business-like. That makes it necessary to have a little bit more education than the blogs mentioned above to read it.

Copyblogger and Problogger are also very similar and often regarded as sister sites. Their writing is quite complex. Higher degree of education is really necessary to read them with ease.

Blogging Secret is seemingly a typical make money blog, but once you start reading it, you'll understand why you need a PhD to comprehend its content. The grammar is simply horrible.

Final Verdict

Judging by the results, it's obvious that the Readability Level scoring is not just popping-up random results, it clearly can interpret how readable a certain site is. I also believe that slight increments in grades don't mean anything. What I mean is that it would be highly unlikely that a 5th grader would easily read through Shoemoney and then go to CashQuests and not be able understand a single word of its content.

I figure there is a span of 3 education levels you need to focus on when judging your blog's readability level.

1. Lower grades - Your blog is simply written and it's easy for readers to understand.
2. High School + College - Your blog's writing is complex and a great deal of your readers will struggle to comprehend it.
3. Advanced Degree (PhD) - Start taking English lessons.

Could this tool be of use to you?

If you want to judge someone else's blog readability level, this tool is worthless. You can be the judge of that.

When it comes to your own blog, it's very likely that you will lack the objectivity and misjudge your blog's readability level. In this case this tool will be helpful indeed!

I'm Baaaaack....!

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 17:54:00 +0000

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 blog from now on?

During the course of the summer I got employed and now my blogging time is quite limited. That means that Blog About Money Online is turning its focus from quantity to QUALITY! You can expect only top notch stories from now on...

If you're a blogspot blogger...

...It's your lucky day. In this era of Wordpress powered self-hosted domains, Blogs with the .blogspot.com suffix are getting more and more underrated. Surely Wordpress has more gizmo's and gadgets and .com domains strike as more professional, but if you really make an effort, having a blogspot blog won't make too big of a difference.

What was I saying? Ah, yes. From now on this blog will serve as an example of what can and can't be accomplished with a blogspot blog, something like a prolonged case study so stay tunned, it will be exciting!

It's nice to be here again...

Make Money Online with Contests

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew) — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 00:50:00 +0000

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$ Contest

Just 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

noreply@blogger.com (Matthew) — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 00:14:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 12:41:00 +0000

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 impossible for me to turn this blog into a life supporting income generator (AdSense and ReviewMe aren't enough, ask John Chow). This forces me to look for other means of making money and forget about this blog for the time being.

The Future?

From what I know, I figure there are only 2 plausible ways for me to continue writing on this blog, and they are:

1) PayPal makes it possible for me to receive money.

2) Sites like PayPerPost make it possible to get paid by a check.

Present

From now on I won't be posting on this blog, until one of the 2 statements above come true. Nevertheless, I would be happy if you're willing like to guest post here. I haven't been blogging for the past 10 days and my traffic level didn't drop to much and my RSS readership is still the same! You could use a bit of extra traffic! Contact me if you're interested.

Prevent yourself from being screwed by PayPal

If you want to sign up and receive money through PayPal, find out if your county is eligible for payment by clicking here.

Remember - I'm not quiting this blog, I'm just going on an extended vacation until (hopefully) some things get settled, so don't kick me out of your RSS readers. After all, there could be some great bloggers guest posting here in the future! Good bye for now...

Daily Link Love - June 12, 2007

This is Daily Link Love, a program that gives away free links to deserving bloggers (almost!) every day. If you'd like your blog to be featured here, check out the Daily Link Love rules.

Daily Link Love helps you discover great new blogs and read interesting articles written by talented bloggers. So if you want to make money online, get more traffic, improve your blogging skills etc., Daily Link Love will help you achieve that. However....

After giving a lot of link love, I thought I'd share a couple of my own blogs with you. I recently switched two of my blogspot domains, to their own domain, so they are in need of some great links.

Fantasy Football N Stuff

Fantasy Football N Stuff is my first blog that I created. It's been hard without much NFL news this off season, but football is just around the corner. If you play fantasy football, or are a fan of the NFL, this blog can be a great resource for you.

Blog Addiction

This blog was just a project that I put aside for a while. When I checked it again, I found it had a page rank 4, so I decided to keep working with it. I put my own personal opinions, as well as website, blog, and product reviews.

Blogger Spotlight: Mikes Money Making Mission

If you missed the article I wrote on Mikes Money Making Mission, I definitely urge you to read it. I think it is one of the best blog reviews I've written. I submitted it to a blog carnival as well, so I hope you decide to check it out.

I've Been Really Pissed Off These Days!

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:57:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 17:37:00 +0000

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 advertisers. Those review offers are rarely found if you don't have a few tricks up your sleeves (I'll write about that in the future).

I could have made a substantially higher amount than $45 if I accepted every single marketplace offer, but I just couldn't do that. For example, I had a $30 offer from a certain stock trading website. I have a poor knowledge of the stock market so I just couldn't take the money. It's better to loose a few bucks than write crappy posts..

I took a break from blogging over the past few days because I feel I've been spending too much time sitting in front of my computer so I focused on spending as much time as possible outdoors. I become quite a nature lover during Spring and Summer, especially on weekends and holidays...

Agloco Forum - No Money Guaranteed!

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 12:27:00 +0000

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 - $0.01
Respond to a post - $0.01
Refer a friend - $0.20

Minimum payout - $100

Now 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 this forum was created out of personal interest, getting Agloco referrals. Agloco referral links are stashed all over the place. Another thing, if you sign up for Agloco through the referral link on Agloco Forum, you'll receive $5 when you create an account at Agloco forum. Forum's owner will have a shinny new member in his downline and the member will never collect his $5, for the reasons mentioned above.

Conclusion

It's clear that this forum is a pathetic scam because its owner doesn't have the slightest intention to pay people, he only wants referrals. The forum itself looks like a nice place for Agloco lovers to meet, socialize and share their experiences, but it has absolutely no moneymaking potential.

I found the forum through an AdSense which means that the owner actually spends money to trick people into joining Agloco. There are a lot of different (honest) ways to build a downline. Shame!
