Run Your Own Affiliate Program

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:33:00 +0000

We came across a very exciting affiliate package called Affiliate Pro that allows you to run your own Affiliate System right from your own website. This allows you to track sales and commissions owed to others who direct customers to you. Why do this? As our friend Galen Lehman from lehmans.com remarked, places like Commission Junction break the link to the affiliate, so you don't get Google credit for incoming links. Plus, why give up a percentage of the sale to the affiliate program folks for processing. This package is written in PHP, and integrates into most shopping cart applications. You have full control over the sales, the look, the customers, and your affiliate partners. It's a one time purchase of $50, and no re-subscription fees. Comes with free tech support, and full excellent documentation. Installation and integration services are also available. Contact me for more info on this exciting and valuable product. We highly recommend this!

We also help you setup your own ecommerce enabled website. Drop us a line.

Web based applications

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 20:50:00 +0000

Web applications are popular due to the ubiquity of web browsers, and the convenience of using a web browser as a client, sometimes called a thin client. The ability to update and maintain web applications without distributing and installing software on potentially thousands of client computers is a key reason for their popularity, as is the inherent support for cross-platform compatibility. Common web applications include webmail, online retail sales, online auctions, wikis and many other functions.

We build web accessible database driven applications for our clients. These applications run the gamut from real estate listings to sales ordering and inventory. If you need to roll out a service to your customers, and do not want to have to deal with upgrades or installations, drop us a line.

You can see a simple example at http://www.green-trust.org/poll/vote.html.

38 Language Translation Tool

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 17:11:00 +0000

We added a translation plug in to our blog at http://www.green-trust.org. We then added the translation widget to our left column, so a user can pick the flag of their choice, and see a machine translation of our blog. This works in conjunction with the xml sitemap tool to submit blog updates to the major search engine in all 38 languages.

newsPage Plugin (highly recommended)

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 10:17:00 +0000

The newsPage Plugin makes it easy to redisplay content from other websites that have RSS feeds. You install the plugin into wordpress, create a page with the plugin code, and set up what sites you want to pull content from. Every hour or so the plugin checks those sites for new content, and pulls in the summary and link. Takes just a few minutes to set up. Very easy. See an example at http://www.green-trust.org/wordpress/self-sufficiency-news-from-around-the-world/

Protecting your posts

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 12:40:00 +0000

There's a lot of sites on the net that instead of producing their own content, just auto grab content from other sites, and post it as their own. This typically is done automatically through RSS feeds. We put a plug in on our wordpress site from http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/simple-feed-copyright-wordpress-plugin/ that embeds our copyright notice and link back to our website. This lets folks know who created the content, and the link back to our site creates more traffic, and possibly better search engine standings.

Online Calculators

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:54:00 +0000

With a little bit of form HTML, and some php code, a on-line calculator can be created. What are these calculators good for? Quick conversions between units of length, weight, temperature, or even full blown mini-apps like our Air Density calculator, and wind turbine output calculator. These web apps mean the user has to keep coming back to use them, and that keeps the traffic coming. Let us know if you have a on-line calculation need. We can whip up a web driven application for you!

Making Money Through Affiliate Ads

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 13:57:00 +0000

In order to support our off grid, no day job existence, we have enabled affiliate ads on our website. I blog about our various off grid activities, producing solar and wind power, organic gardening, rain water harvesting, etc., and the affiliate ads on my site change with the topics I blog about, offering related products and services. These various ads have varying levels of success. My Amazon sales vary from $50 to $200 a month, once peaking at $1700, my Google ads are up to $600 / month, and we recently added clickbank.com, and that's bringing in over $500 / month. I've discovered a new one, which is shaping up to be very successful. This system will teach you how to make serious money, selling affiliate products. Check it out at http://www.dollarmonitor.com/affsites/afx/191829.html.

Blog software

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 19:03:00 +0000

An easy way to create a website, is to start a blog. A blog is like a web based journal. You can use a blog like this one, at blogger.com, or use a more flexible one like wordpress.com. Either one can be hosted for you, or for maximum flexibility, hosted on your own domain.

Posting Pictures

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 18:48:00 +0000

If you have a lot of photos you need to post to your website, we suggest JAlbum. You can post to your own server, or use their server. The software adds your pictures to a album, you pick what skin or look you want, and all the thumbnails, links, web pages, etc. are built for you, ready to publish. You can see some of our photo albums, hosted at jalbum and on our own site at:

Paypal, not just for paypal users

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:36:00 +0000

Using Paypal for processing allows you to accept payment from anyone with a credit card, not just folks with Paypal accounts. They do not need to sign up for a Paypal account to pay you for your product. We have been using Paypal for almost 10 years, with no problems. You can get a debit card to pay for your items, and transfer money between a bank account and your Paypal account.

Your Mailing List

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:15:00 +0000

The best way to keep people up to date on your news, products, and promotions is with a mailing list. AWEBER runs one of the best systems for email campaigns, mailing lists, follow up, and tracking results. Bouncing email, subscribe/unsubscribe, web forms for you to integrate into your website, it's all there, and easy to use.

The Ultimate in Web Hosting

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:07:00 +0000

Our main website, http://www.green-trust.org, has been hosted with what we consider the ultimate web hosting company. The prices are reasonable, the up time is superb, and the tech support is nothing less than fantastic. I have never had a response that took more than 3 minutes, any time of day or night. We have been using them for over 5 years, and highly recommend them.

PayDotCom

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:55:00 +0000

We use the PayDotCom service to sell our ebooks, and help folks become affiliates of our ebooks, so they get a commission for promoting our products. If you have a product or service you want to sell, and want others to sell for you, this is a good service.

Making Money with Amazon

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:42:00 +0000

Being a Amazon affiliate is a great way to earn cash or gift certificates. We set up a Amazon Store (http://www.green-trust.org/amazon), and earn over $200 / month with no effort. Drop me a line at sspence@green-trust.org if you want a store set up.

Making Adsense Pay

noreply@blogger.com (KK4HFJ) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:34:00 +0000

We came across a great method to use Adsense to bring in a supplementary income, or maybe even a primary one. I take advertising claims with a grain of salt, so $20k or more a month stretches my belief a bit, but I have proven $500 a month is doable.

Even if you don't use that program, just adding Adsense code to your website like at left will bring is some money every time someone clicks an ad.
