Making money Online and Internet Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 16:30:00 +0000

There are people who think that making money online has to deal with internet marketing as well. But as far as I believe whoever wraps up "making money online" with "Internet marketing", does it more to benefit himself rather than to help others better understand the core idea of making money online. “Make Money Online” is that one Formidable phrase that every marketer in the niche uses either for bringing traffic to his site or for catching more fishes. It is known that "money online" is very often one of the most searched term on internet marketing blogs.

The principle of marketing lies in grooming up the idea, "give people what they want and you’ll get what you want(money of course lol)." The phrase "make money online" or simply “money online” triggers desires and an impulse towards make quick and easy money on the internet. This phrase carries more weight than the term “internet marketing” as a noob who just hopped into the field won’t know much about Internet Marketing. The "internet marketing" gurus are aware of this fact and they also know that mixing the harnessing "internet marketing" with "making money online" creates the perfect mixture both for others and for oneself too. You can implement internet marketing techniques and Making money online at home. It has worked very well all around the world.

Can we say it's their fault? But I don't think it’s their fault because just like you and just like me, they want to make money the easy way. We reprimand them if those two concepts are not clearly and distinctly explained, i.e. if a foul game is being played by cheating.

"Internet marketing" also implies towards creating value built with regards to the needs and desires of the customer or the market. This value isn’t any haphazard data or numbers and must be discovered by doing extensive analysis and experiments.

Generally how do you make money? Forget the internet thingy for instance. Say you have a grocery shop and you want to earn a living out of it. You make money by supplying what the people need and in turn taking money for what they take. The same thing works in the online world as well. Making money means selling something to someone who is willing to buy, and even if no additional value is created.
I could make money going to the streets and selling chocolates and ice creams in the scorching summer sun high in the sky. My product sells itself automatically, no matter how good or bad it really is.

But if I want to go on a big scale, I cannot sell out things on cart and dream of becoming a millionaire. I really need to set up something so that I can found a multinational ice-cream corporation. In such a case, I’ll really need some intelligent marketing techniques to take my business to the higher level, otherwise, in a few months or a year I will be back on the streets selling things on a cart.

The cheating card game of the "internet marketing" gurus is built specifically on the idea that marketing is actually that small street cart business. They make the people believe that the whole things is as simple as it looks and almost anyone can do it quite easily just like anyone can sell things on the street in a cart. Tens of Thousands of internet marketers or entrepreneurs are making big money out there while you’re reading this text and all by doing stuff similar to selling things in a street cart.

There is nothing better than finding an ignorant customer. They let you have the feeling that they hold the key to success. If you understand the situation, you get mad and call all sorts of names to the gurus.

You should learn that you can make money from street cart but don’t forget that if you intend on making large sums, you need to get beyond a clumsy cart. So, while on the onlook, you read out stuff from internet marketers and if your guru is an evil one, you’ll waste a lot of your money. If the guru is a good one, you will find some real good marketing strategies but even so, you’ll have to work your backsides off round the clock, even though you spend a oodles.

So, the ideologies of “Making Money Online” and “Internet Marketing” go hand in hand but you should be able to make clear distinctions between them. Mixing up of these two entities might be too cumbersome to handle and chances of success are very trifle. You could feel like its really working but it will disgrace you in the end. Many people have opted to mix these up and they have cluttered up everywhere on the internet. There’s no such thing as a breakthrough, flawless formula for making money on the internet. And there’s no universal secret for internet marketing either.

Making money online is something that sometimes can happen fully naturally, within a short time. You won’t need to put excessive efforts if you know the techniques. You’ll need to have dedication and perseverance. You should keep experimenting ideas.

As a matter of fact, there would be nothing intrinsically bad with all this, if it wasn't for the fact that these slogans and tactics are always the same, copied over and over again, and promoted by supposed gurus who have never tried or experimented them for real in their own strategies. In Internet marketing you really need a lot of experience which you have to gain yourself by weighing all the possibilities and making right decisions. No one will sell you his Internet marketing secret earned in his years of hard work. You have to make your own strategies and you’ll learn through the course. Many people understand this thing but those who are making up their minds to learn the big secret from the gurus should whack such thoughts out of their minds and begin working hard making their own strategies on Internet Marketing.

Host your blogger theme’s images on your own Photobucket account

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:20:00 +0000

Blogger is the most popular blogging platforms worldwide. It is because it is easy to use, its free, you can add widgets and get a lot of good themes for free. There are tons of blogger themes on the internet. There are some themes too that you’ll need to pay to use. A handful of themes are provided by blogger too but they aren’t much attractive. But you can find a lot of good quality professional templates elsewhere and that too for free. Many of these templates are supplied by popular sites like eblogtemplates, themesforu etc. They usually host the images used in the theme on free photohosting sites, mostly on Photobucket. But do you know, sometimes you feel terribly helpless if you use such themes. Photobucket provides a limited montly bandwidth for each account and as there are thousands of others using the theme from the theme source site, the bandwidth is easily consumed. When full bandwidth is consumed, the images used don’t show up in your blog and your blog goes totally weird.

So, what can you do? Do you want to read those comments the other day with your readers shouting at you for a dumb template? Well I guess no and here’s the solution. If they use Photobucket to host the images you too can. Or if you have a paid hosting of your own, you can put your images there too. Anyway for now, lets use Photobucket.

First you’ll need to download all the images used in your theme created by others. Sometimes, the theme providers gives all the images in a separate folder and sometimes not. So, first download all the images used in your theme. Open your theme in a text editor. You can use a text editor like notepad or a bit advanced one like Notepad++. Find all the occurrences of .jpg, .gif and .png in your theme source using the find command(ctrl+f). Just copy the ful url with .jpg, .gif or .png at the end and paste them on your address bar to see and download the images. In this manner, download all the images that are being used in your theme. The URL of the images will look like this:

http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu131/eblotemplates/album/blogcontainer.jpg

After that, go to Photobucket.com. If you already have an account, that’s fine else sign up for one and create a new album in your account. Give it the name of your theme. Now upload all the images used in your theme to this album. If you create an album named themepics and your username is cooldude, your image URL will look like this:

http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu131/cooldude/themepics/blogcontainer.jpg

Now go to your theme and replace the album link already being used in the theme with your album link. In the above case, you should replace http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu131/eblotemplates/album/ with http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu131/cooldude/themepics/. Use “Replace all” to replace all at once. Now upload your theme to blogger and you’re done.

So, by hosting your blogger theme’s images on your Photobucket account, you’ll never have to worry about bandwidth exceeds.

A list of some good paid survey programs

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 26 May 2009 16:45:00 +0000

In my last post about making money with paid survey programs, I had told that I’d soon be coming up with a list of some good paid to survey sites. Getting paid for answering surveys is a really cool way of making money at home. here are a few paid to survey sites:

Paid Surveys Free: it provides only the best paid surveys on the net. They offer you the chance to get paid up to $150 an hour for participating in online focus groups, which currently makes them the highest paying online survey site on the internet. They offer 24 hour technical support, which is quite useful for beginners.

Survey Savvy: This is also a good paid to survey site. Every time you complete one of the surveys, you will be paid.The first part of the survey will contains some pesky screening questions. If you pass the first part, you will continue on with the survey and be paid. You can do it once in a couple of weeks and the average pay for survey is 5-10 dollars.

Gozing: In Gozing, members get paid to take online surveys and can receive both cash or Gifts. Cash payments are made through PayPal. Gift Certificates or Napster music downloads can also be awarded depending upon the type of surveys. You will learn that the use of PayPal is an important advantage as you won’t is no need to wait until you for a certain threshold amount before you are paid. But this is equally a drawback for people in those countries where PayPal is not available. The frequency of surveys can be like once in a couple of days and the average pay for a survey can be $1-4. As PayPal is one of the best solutions for receiving payments, the companies PayPal payment method makes it a really good choice. Gozing is now a part of the Greenfield Online network.

Acop - american cunsumer: Being one of the largest paid survey sites, it lets all registered members participate in a monthly drawing to win $250 in cash awards, just for being a member. If you participate in a longer survey you always receive some bonus gifts that can be cash or any other thing. This is a a really good feature and members get encouraged to answer more surveys as they get incentives for finishing a survey. Most of the companies use cash or prize drawings.

Synovate Consumer Opinion Panel: This one is a bit different. You’ll have to reply to an e-mail invitation and then participate in a survey. You earn another entry into that month's sweepstakes drawing. The more surveys you complete, the better your chances to win. And answering surveys with longer questionnaires will add an opportunity to earn extra.

Opinion Surveys: This is relatively a newer service. But they promise some really awesome prizes for every completed survey and that they have dozens of live surveys available at any given time. They also have some integration with the Gozing network.
These online paid survey sites can really help you make money from home just by answering survey questionnaires.

Get paid to answer surveys- An easy way to make money online

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 09 May 2009 07:42:00 +0000

There are various ways of making money online. Many prefer to make money online by monetizing their blogs or websites with programs like Adsense or Adbrite or other CPA programs. But do you know that you can also make money online by answering surveys? Yes, this is no joke. You can make a good money online by participating in surveys. Well I must tell you that this is no "Get rich quick" or "become a millionaire overnight" program. But this surely can make you a fairly good amount of money . The amount you earn depends on the length of surveys that you participate in.

Well answering surveys are a way easier than getting involved in other "make money online" programs. Hey wait! I am not demeaning other online money making programs. To participate in a survey, you won't need to own a blog or a website, you won't need to sell any products. Just answer the surveys, long or short and start collecting money from them.

You might now ask me "Why should I trust such programs?". Well let me tell you that every year $250 billion is spent in USA alone by companies to convince people through advertisements or some other medium for buying their products . So, such companies need to gather the choices of the public and for this they conduct surveys. You can be a part of such surveys and the companies will pay you for your opinions. The data extracted out from the surveys will be used in analyzing the likes and dislikes of the public as a whole and in return, the companies will reap more benefits in the end and you'll also be making money online answering surveys.

There are paid-surveys scams too on the internet. You should be careful of them.

Most of the paid review sites are free to join. They accumulate survey questionnaire from a handful of companies and throw them at you and many others like you. Some companies don't pay you money but reward you with points. The points can be exchanged for goods from certain places.

Taking surveys generally don't suck up much of your time. A survey can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 1 hour generally to complete. So, you need not allocate hours for this as you can do it quickly and anytime you like.

Answering surveys is a very great way to make money online at home easily and anyone from kids to the elders can take part. Almost everyone is eligible as these surveys don't demand your skill or money. And you need not rack your brains as they won't be testing your IQ. I'll come up with a couple of good "paid to answer surveys" programs very soon.

Making money online at home is better than your regular job

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:07:00 +0000

You work all day long for your company. You're provided with a cabin that is cool, furnished and 2 hour AC. There are other employees in the office who greet you with a grin and a "Good Morning". Or if you work on a relatively lower post, you greet a handful of your seniors with the stereotypical "good morning" phrase. Well regular jobs free from the worries loss, you won't have to worry about your recent investment that you don't much rely upon. But all jobs don't pay enough for a happy and fully furnished life. You work all day long for a company, the labour you pour brings fortunes to your company but you won't be able to reap much of it, except for your basic salary. Being self-employed is far better than being just employed. You'll have a job of your own and you will yourself be your boss. Making Money on the Internet can really make this possible. All you need is a computer with an internet connection and some basic skills to make money online at home.

You must have heard the success stories of the smart Online money makers who started off with almost nothing and ended up making large amounts. Well truly speaking, online money making at home doesn't require much of your financial investments. If you plan to make money online at home with your blog, all you'll need is a blog and a couple of signups in affiliate programs. Both of these come for free. There are many platforms like Blogger that give you a free blog and money making programs like Adsense that allow you to monetize your blog.

If you want to make money online at home, you should start it right away to get the benefits early. If you start working at home you can give much of your time to your family; your kids and spouse. No matter how much you earn working hard in office, if you have no time to give to your family, your family can never have joyful moments. Your kids ask you to take somewhere on a vacation in their summer holidays but your office doesn't spare you a even week's leave, your wife asks you to take her on a dinner in some restaurant but you cannot go cuz you're tired as hell. Both you and your family get dismayed. But if you start working at home on the internet, you can have fun with your family and make money at the same time.

You'll find much satisfaction to work and make money online at home as it frees you from all the pressures of work and scheduled tasks. If you don't complete writing a proposal for tomorrows meeting by the evening, your boss gets infuriated; if you don't get to office by 10:00 you hear words of disregard from your senior. But working at home makes you a boss yourself. You can choose to work any or rest any day. Or you can just remain inactive for a whole week and go on a tour. This freedom isn't granted if you work at an office. Working and Making Money online at home gives you more freedom to think and exercise your brains. And as the work you do is for yourself and not for any other, you endeavor more to gain more.

Well hopping right into the online making money business doesn't guarantee a cash-flow right away. You'll need to exercise some of the well adopted methods in the online money making scenario. You'll have to master the techniques and know the mandatories and this takes time for sure. But once you understand the facts and play your cards right, you'll start making good money. So, get ready to quit your day job and start to work and make money online at home.

Inserting and managing Adsense in Wordpress is easier than in Blogger

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 09:51:00 +0000

There is no denial to the fact that Wordpress is far more sophisticated, advanced and customizable than Blogger. Blogger and Wordpress both come for free but to use Wordpress, you need to spend money in buying domain and hosting. The all-free feature of Blogger makes it a holy grail though. You can have free blogs elsewhere too, like on Wordpress.com, Xanga etc. but they are less customizable than Blogger. Due to lack of plugin support and other customization options in Blogger, inserting Adsense in Blogger is a tad difficult than in Wordpress.

The lack of plugin support makes it very difficult to do things in Blogger which would otherwise be an easy task with Wordpress. Wordpress and the people contributing to its open source movement are involved in creating great plugins for optimizing a wordpress blog. From SEO to social bookmarking and monetizing, every task can be accomplished with ease in Wordpress. If you want to add adsense to your Wordpress blogs, you can choose from dozens of Adsense plugin for Wordpress. But for blogger, there is no such choice.

I use Adsense Deluxe Plugin for my Wordpress blog Tech Attitude. There are Wordpress plugins available for noobs to advanced users. I tried about 5 or 6 of other plugins and finally ended up with Adsense Deluxe. I think this is by far the best Adsense Plugin for Wordpress as it lets you insert ad anywhere inside a post by just inserting the ad name. And if inserted via the template, the ads can be selectively turned on or off. It provides a wide range of control. There are some other plugins that will automatically insert Adsense in blog posts and you’ll just need to provide your Adsense ID.

To insert Adsense in Blogger, you will need to add the full code in the template wherever you want it to appear as there is no plugin support in Blogger. You should need to be familiar with the codes that show the post body, comments, blog title etc. and then inject adsense codes appropriately within them. Adsense can be inserted in Blogger via the Adsense widget too. The Adsense Widget makes it easy for you to insert the Ads in your blog, in the sidebar and other places as well. But what if you want an Ad unit just beneath the post title? Inserting Adsense this way would be easy with Wordpress plugins but difficult in blogger. If you add Adsense via Adsense widget, your ad will sit itself above the post title. For placing it beneath the title, you need to manipulate the code, there’s no other choice.

The Blogger template is an XML file. If your Adsense code is inserted directly by just copy-pasting, it won’t show up in your blogger blog. You’ll need to parse the Adsense javascript snippet to XML friendly version. You can parse it online here. Even if you think of inserting Adsense through an HTML/Javascript widget, you’ll need to parse it.

Some Wordpress plugins like All in One Adsense and YPN allow you to insert Adsense just by providing your Adsense Pub ID. They will also let you set color schemes for you ad within the Wordpress Interface and you won’t need to open your adsense account for getting your code. But in case of blogger, you will be compelled to login to adsense and copy the full code.

So, inserting Adsense in Wordpress is easier than in Blogger but the end results are the same in both platforms. So, workaround a little to insert Adsense in Blogger the perfect way. It will surely be the worth.

Why you should monetize your blog?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:00:00 +0000

These days, everyone seems to be blogging on his/her topics of interest. Blogging has been sought after very much for making money because it is probably the easiest way for making money over the web. Blogging for passion is good all the way, but what harm does it do if it can generate bucks for you without having to put more effort?

I come across many blogs everyday and of every breed. Sometimes I get amazed to see some blogs that are so good feeding in great content but without a single ad on them. I speculate, those blogs must be receiving fairly good amount of traffic from search engines (and hopeflly other sources too). I found a certain pattern while observing such blogs; such blogs that are without any ads are mainly the ones on lifestyle, health and other aspects of the social life. These days lots of blogs on the most common and profusely discussed niche like blogging, making money online, technology etc. have sprouted up in a large number and the competition seems to be really tough.

There is no denying to the fact that most of the blogs today are either Make Money Online (MMO) blogs or Technology blogs and they are no-doubt the most competitve niche. So, blogging on topics about social life, lifestyle or any similar category will be far less competitive for sure. So, monetizing such blogs can also yeild a handsome amount.

It doesn't matter what a blog is about, you can hope to get some Search Engine traffic for it and expect visitors to make you money out of the ads. Everyday, Google handles somewhere around 300 million searches that is about 60. And not to forget, there are other search engines as well that make up the whole. So imagine, in such a large number of queries, there exist queries on almost any topic. So don't worry what your blog is about; just start monetizing your blog follow some basic rules of SEO and see the visitors pour to your site from the search engines.

Well I might be driving you nuts mentioning about Search Engines and Search Engine traffic all the time. But believe me, Search Engine traffic is the real traffic and the traffic that can help you make money. All other sources of traffic like the ones from Digg, Blogcatalog are not much convertible when it comes to monetizing a blog.

Programs like Adsense help you make money when a visitor clicks on the ad served on your blog. There isn't any evil monetizing your blog with such programs and you will be equally nice to your valued readers. The ads won't bother them(unless you put them up very grotesquely). So, if a visitor happens to click on a ad, some cents will drop in your account. Is there any bad doing this?

Make Money Online gurus in Nepal make a fool out of people

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 00:59:00 +0000

Make Money Online Trends have spread like a jungle fire and people everywhere in the world, even in the least developed countries have started acknowledging it. In my country Nepal, the ones who spend time on the internet, not just on the social networks, know less or more about it. But the ones who aren't into internet, i.e. the people who rely on cyber cafes for surfing the internet occasionally don't know much about making money online. But at the same time, some organizations here in Nepal have been ruling the newspaper ads since long, boasting of surefire ways to make money online and a minimum of $500 income monthly from it. Well you might be thinking they must be the webmasters, who know every inch of SEO, Blogging and tricks to monetize the site. If that is the case then let me laugh at you. These are the people who know nothing and if I were a beauraucrat, I'd have surely fired laws against them.

Well to be true, I had also been one of the victims. It was more than a year ago. I used to see the advertisements on newspaper and then one day, made up my mind to go visit them. When I got there, I saw a whole bunch of people already flocking to the place. That relieved me more as I began believing that what they claimed about making money online was true. I didn't know anything about SEO, Blogging or Adsense then, not a bit. They made me pay their fees beforehand and charged me around $25(Rs. 2000 Nepali). The organization was known as "onlinejobpoint". They said that the training would last for about a week and I'd be trained with every skill for making money online and becoming a decent earner.

I regularly went to the place for about a week they showed me many things which I was totally unaware of at that time. I was getting delighted to have learned so many things and when the training was over, I began following what they had told. But weeks and months passed, but I had not made a single penny. I got desperate and then began reading Make Money Online blogs and googling up terms related to making money online. I eventually learned that what I had been trained was a bullshit, horseshit!

Let me tell you, what I they trained me throughout the session. They had tempted me with an offer saying that they'd give me a website for free. I also got excited about it as I was believing that it was something people pay huge sums for. The very first day, they gave me my website, a blogspot blog. lol. They registered an account for me, just before me. They took me to a site called AdultFriendFinder. They then signed me up for that as well(treating me as if i didn't even know how to sign up) and then showed how to copy the Javascript code and paste it into the blog's widget.

What they told about blogging is immensely sardonic. They said that I just needed to copy any article from Wikipedia that interested me, open it in FrontPage editor and remove the inernal links and finally paste the source code. That was what they told about making a site, precisely a blog. Isn't that alarming? Next they told about Adsense and how to insert it in blogs via widgets which was probably the only thing that I found a little useful than nothing.

Next was my training on getting traffic to my blog. Well let me remind you one thing, all that time I was purely believing them like an infatuated lover as I didn't know anything about all those stuff back then. They said that I should join Yahoo chat rooms, be online most of the time and then send the link to people asking to visit my blog. This was one technique. Next they asked me to join free advertising sites and publish ads on them for free. Those were sites looking like those classified newspaper ad section. I did that as well. Next they gave me an insight on SEO. SEO meant all about submitting a site to Google in their words. They told me about Google's site submitting page http://www.google.com/submit_content.html and made me into believing that once I submitted it in google, I would start getting lots of visitors from Search Engines. I had been such a poor guy and when I remember those days, I literally laugh at myself.

When nothing came my hand, I started researching the internet and looking for stuff related to SEO, Making Money Online, Blogging etc. I then gradually realised what a fool I had been. But at least I was happy for it was better late than never. This is the story of every such people in Nepal who get entangled into such scam networks of people who know nothing and yet boast of knowing everything. Well this wasn't meant to hurt anyone but debunking such fake Make Money Online gurus was necessary.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 00:31:00 +0000

Make Money Online most popularly called MMO is one of the most dominating niche in the online world. There have been many techniques widely accepted by everyone while scams also persist.

I am not any smart ass in the field but I hope I'll learn many things along the way that my would-be readers will find useful. I'll also be covering topics like blogging, SEO and things regarding Blogger, Wordpress etc besides just "Make Money Online". You may say that the keywords in the URL do not encompass such topics but let me tell you that makemoneyonlinetrends.blogspot.com was chosen just to insert the keyword "make money online" in the URL. I know, if someone has to come to my site as a direct visitor, he is sure to hesitate for having to type such a long thing. I believe that if I'll have really genuine visitors to my blog, they will hit my blog against all such minor odds. I expect most of the visitors to come through search engines and with the keyword that I will be targeting. I will monetize my site very soon and will try to update posts on this blog as frequently as I can. Well lets not make a commitment that seems to herculean. I'll try to post regularly on this Make Money Online blog but the time lag between two posts can also be as long as a week.

I have made this blog on blogger because I found it easy to do and the blog comes for free. And blogger is not like other free platforms, here I'll be able to fully customize my template and change the outlook of my blog whatever way I like. Ok guys, wish me luck with my Make Money Online blog.
