Market Research for Affiliate Marketers

2016-08-04T02:50:00.000+01:00

The key to becoming a successful affiliate is conducting a bit of research before you sink time (and maybe money) into a campaign. Think what it would be like if you built a resort full of all of the trimmings: crisp white towels, Egyptian cotton sheets, 10 pools, a 5-star restaurant, and flawlessly beautiful architecture... But it's on the moon and there are no people, so you can't profit from your efforts.

If you spend all your time building a website or a campaign where there is no market, you will come up short, and it's just not worth it. You need to figure out which topics, or "niches," are in hot demand, and then find an affiliate network with a good variety of products to promote. This will enable you to build a niche-specific website, with strong products that will be easy to promote for commissions.

One of the most important things to practice as an affiliate marketer is what's known as "keyword research." Keywords, or the terms or phrases people type into Google, can be the best way of finding out what exactly what people are looking for. If you can find some popular phrases, and convince search engines like Google that your website has relevant information about them, you'll get the rankings you need to get people to your affiliate links.

The lessons in this section will help you to find a profitable niche market, as well as good affiliate networks and products. You'll also learn a thing or two about that ever-important keyword research.

Introduction to Affiliate Marketing

2016-08-03T02:47:00.000+01:00

New to affiliate marketing? Not sure what it's all about? Basically, it comes down to promoting products online to get a commission whenever a sale is made through your recommendation.

You'll make a website, which isn't as hard as you might think, and then you'll place affiliate links to the products you are promoting throughout that website. Then, when someone clicks on your link and buys the product within a certain time frame, you get a commission! There's a variety of affiliate networks that you can join to find products to promote, and if you pick a topic (or "niche") that is interesting to you — first making sure with a little market research that it's also profitable — it can be quite a lot of fun to build your affiliate website.

There's a huge range of different methods for getting visitors to your website, including signaling to search engines like Google that your website is relevant to your topic, and spreading the word on social media. Because of the variety of strategies available to you, you'll be able to find something that suits your strengths to get the ball rolling for your own affiliate website.

The goal is to be making your own money just with your own efforts and a computer, setting yourself up for some great potential income. These lessons will give you a thorough introduction, show you what affiliate sites look like, and walk you through the basics of these important affiliate marketing concepts.

The 3 Money Mistakes Newlyweds Make

2014-11-14T23:56:00.001+01:00

Marriage is an exciting milestone for couples, but after the cake is consumed, the guests go home and the honeymoon ends, the minutiae of paying bills and saving for the future may seem less than glamorous. Nowadays, many couples cohabitate before marriage, so they may already have joint bank accounts or even a mortgage together. Some couples wait until after the wedding to pool funds, while others choose to keep their money entirely separate.

For those who combine at least some of their finances, there are likely to be a few hiccups, especially when spouses are further along in their careers and may have money habits already ingrained. eHow talked to Susan Zimmerman, a Chartered Financial Consultant and a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who runs Minn.-based financial planning firm Mindful Asset Planning, about potential pitfalls for newlyweds to avoid.

Treating money as a “one and done” conversation.

If you and your spouse participated in premarital counseling or signed a prenuptial agreement, you probably discussed your assets, liabilities and financial goals. But the conversation shouldn’t end there. “Couples who are anticipating a life together should look at what kinds of messages and lessons did they get growing up and were those lessons useful,” Zimmerman says. “Start by understanding that about each other.” Your financial goals and attitudes may evolve, so keep the lines of communication open and check in with each other so you’ll understand where the other person is coming from.

Hiding purchases from each other.

Zimmerman says gaps in financial knowledge can be overcome, but deceit is much worse. And it’s a lot more common than you might think: a study published on Valentine’s Day 2014 by the National Endowment for Financial Education found that one in three adults admitted to committing “financial infidelity” against a partner. “When you’ve picked up on ways you might be different and instead of talking about it, you then decide to be untruthful with each other,” Zimmerman says. “Bad habits tend to get worse, not better, because new circumstances arise.” For instance, a wife who worries her husband will disapprove of her shoe habit might order online and have the shoes shipped to her office. Or a husband might hide a gambling habit from his wife. Some couples avoid this guilt by setting a dollar amount that the other person can spend guilt-free but agree to consult each other on larger purchases.

Jumping into home ownership without understanding the costs.

A growing number of couples are buying real estate before they tie the knot, and those who haven’t yet may see home-ownership as the next logical step. But just because your parents had the idyllic suburban home with the white picket fence doesn’t mean it’s right for you … right now. “Our culture has a fondness for this American dream of owning your own home, but there are real pains and consequences that come from it,” Zimmerman says. “You no longer have somebody else paying for the maintenance and care of it. We’ve seen many people get into trouble [with real estate purchases].” Just because you pay X amount in rent each month doesn’t mean you can comfortably afford the same size mortgage payment, because you’ll have property taxes, maintenance and other costs that aren’t associated with renting. Consider running the numbers with a fee-only financial advisor before you start shopping for your dream home.

How to Make the Most of a Job That’s Not A Good Fit

2014-11-11T22:52:00.000+01:00

Does a wave of dread wash over you when your alarm goes off in the morning? Do you spend Sundays sulking about the week ahead pretty much every week? The feeling of knowing you’re spending 40+ hours a week at a job that’s not quite right for you can permeate your entire life and make you miserable, whatever the reason for the bad fit.

However, sometimes it just doesn’t make sense to make a change right away. Maybe you’re sticking it out to see if things get better, or maybe you’re worried you won’t be able to find another job at all. Maybe this really feels like the best you can find with your current skills and experience. Perhaps you are actively looking, but the job search is taking a while. Or maybe you want to develop some tenure on your resume. In any case, you need a strategy – not just to survive, but to squeeze every last drop of career value from your current situation so that when you look back later, it’ll have felt somewhat worthwhile. But how do you do that without going crazy in the meantime?

Devise your exit strategy now.
Getting a jump on getting out will give you a light at the end of the tunnel to work towards. This is the time to figure out what your next move is. Is the role itself not a good fit? Do you want to have different responsibilities? If you’re not sure what your dream job is or have any idea what kind of work you’ll find most enjoyable, take personality assessments. Research what others with similar backgrounds have done. (See also: 3 Ways to Use LinkedIn to Break Out of Your Career Rut.)

Do you love the type of work you’re currently doing, but the company culture isn’t a good fit or you’re working under someone who isn’t that skilled at managing people? Figure out where you’d really love to work, and use LinkedIn to see who in your network might know someone there, and facilitate an introduction – whether or not there’s an actual job opening.

If you’re not challenged enough at work or your skills are underutilized, consider that a blessing in disguise; use that extra brainpower to dive into your job search.

Reframe your experience.
Part of any good exit strategy is reframing your current experience in a way that benefits you later. If you’re not attempting to change roles or industries dramatically, this should be relatively easy – you already know what accomplishments will make the most sense to highlight, and you might simply say you’re looking for new challenges at a different company. If you’re moving laterally or up to a new role or industry, you’ll need to do a bit more digging and reflection to draw connections between your current role and the one you want. What responsibilities do you have that are similar, or even that simply require the same characteristics and traits? If asked why you want to make a change in interviews, you’ll need to have a very clear answer that conveys your motives effectively, so be very thorough about this. Surface only the most relevant responsibilities and accomplishments for your resume. If it’s not relevant to the job you’re aiming for, don’t include it.

Build relationships with your coworkers.
Don’t worsen a less-than-ideal job situation by burning bridges. Keep your job search private and focus on strengthening the good relationships you do have at work. Go out of your way to be friendly and polite to everyone. You want your coworkers to remember you in a good light. Your current coworkers likely won’t be at that company forever, and there’s no better job reference than from someone you worked with. You never know who will succeed, or who can be a major career connection in the future.

Work on something outside of your job.
Don’t succumb to the energy-suck that comes with not enjoying your work. Having something on the side to focus your abilities on, whether it’s a hobby, side project, or volunteer work, will lift you from your funk. Active work and interests outside of your day job may even help you expand your professional network, or help you build the skills you need to make the leap to a new type of role. Moreover, employers want to see that you’re multi-faceted with broad interests. And anything that gets you excited about working on something will help you understand and uncover what kind of job will really make you happy.

9 Mobile Apps That Can Actually Make You Money

2014-11-03T01:04:00.000+01:00

It’s easy to mindlessly spend money on mobile shopping apps or games that allow in-app purchases, but did you know there are also smartphone apps that pay you money instead of helping you spend it? They’re unlikely to net you enough money to quit your day job (I’d be wary of apps that charge money upfront with the promise of a big pay-off later), but here’s a look at several free apps that could help you earn a little extra cash from your phone.

Pact (available for Android and iOS): I used Pact several years ago when it first launched as Gym-Pact — collecting a dollar or so each week when I checked in from my gym. The idea is to keep people accountable for following through on healthy habits (exercising or eating healthfully) by charging them a small, predetermined amount when they fall short of their weekly goal (called a Pact). The people who actually meet their Pact get a portion of the money collected from those who don’t. It won’t make you rich, but if you already go to the gym or need a little motivation to work out or eat better, it’s worth trying. You can also schedule breaks from your Pact if needed.

Checkout 51 (available for Android and iOS): Instead of clipping coupons, new grocery receipt apps like Checkout 51 let you scan your receipts from any grocery store to get cash back on certain items (for instance, certain brands of cereal, ice cream, toiletries or cleaning products). Checkout 51 updates its offers each Thursday, and the offers are in limited supply, so don’t wait until Wednesday night to upload your receipts. So far, I've earned $17.75 and will be able to request a check once my balance reaches $20. Groupon recently released its own app called Snap by Groupon. Another grocery receipt-scanning app, Zweet, is currently only available in Canada but plans to launch in the United States soon.

gapNsnap (available for iOS only): To help retailers stay on top of inventory issues, snap and upload photos of empty shelf tags on your next shopping trip. In exchange for your “snaps,” you can earn prizes and, in some cases, money transferred to your PayPal account.

Fronto (available for Android only): Fronto places sponsored content on your Android’s lock screen and rewards you for swiping. According to the website, advertiser’s rewards range in value from a penny to as much as $2. You can redeem rewards for gift cards or money deposited into your PayPal account.

Field Agent (available for Android and iOS): According to the Field Agent website, users who've downloaded the app and filled out a profile can sign up for micro tasks (for instance, snapping a photo of a product in your local drug store or filling out a survey) that pay between $3 and $12 per task. They can later cash out via PayPal or Dwolla. I’ve downloaded the Field Agent app and filled in my profile, but the app hasn’t located any jobs near me yet. Other smartphone apps that offer payment for similar micro tasks include GigWalk and Mobee.

3 Ways to Use LinkedIn to Break Out of Your Career Rut

2014-11-03T00:57:00.000+01:00

If you dismiss LinkedIn as just a social media network for job-seekers, you’re missing out. LinkedIn is also a great tool if you find yourself in a career rut. Here are three major ways LinkedIn can help you get un-stuck:

1. Research

If you’re stuck in a job you hate and aren't sure how to move forward in your career, researching the career paths of others can be incredibly illuminating. Understanding how someone got from point A to point B in his career might open your eyes to different ways you can move up the ladder — or closer to a career that excites you — in your own way.

Before LinkedIn, we didn't really have a way to do this, but now it’s even easier with LinkedIn’s new Field of Study Explorer. Simply select a field of study (if you’re logged in to LinkedIn, it will automatically select the field you studied in college, but you can change this under “Explore More”), and LinkedIn will tell you what others who studied that field are now doing — even where they’re living and working. It also shows you profiles of people who studied that field, starting first with your own connections and then moving on to people you don’t yet know but with whom you have connections in common. Don’t be afraid to click around and read what people have chosen to make publicly available. Reverse-engineering the career paths of others can be helpful if you’re not even sure what the possibilities are, much less how to accomplish them.

2. Re-brand yourself

Your LinkedIn profile tells a story about you: your history and path, your skills and interests and where you might go next. If the experience section seems like just a list of jobs, your summary is where you tie everything together. It’s your opportunity to connect the dots for your reader while articulating the best of your achievements. Your summary will go through many revisions as you gain new experiences and evolve personally and professionally. Writing about yourself forces you to consider things from someone else’s perspective and think objectively about your past. This can open your eyes to new possibilities.

Don’t discount the power of a good headline, either. Most people just default to using their current position and company, but there are better ways to make a fuller, more encompassing statement about yourself professionally. And if you’re job-seeking, don’t put that as your headline! As the first thing people read about you, it positions you as a beggar — not a chooser — and makes people worry you’ll just ask them about jobs. A better option is to describe yourself as the professional you are, whether or not you have a job. If you were recently laid off from a job as a marketing manager, you might choose to use something like “Proven marketing manager with eight years of experience.”

How you choose to portray past experiences is also important. Let’s say you’re that laid-off marketing manager and you’d like to work on more digitally focused campaigns at your next job. In that case, you might highlight the digital aspects of your prior projects by pointing them out first in the experience description.

3. Reach out

What’s the point of a network if you don’t connect with others? This is where you take your research a step further and actually connect — in real life — with people in your industry or who started from the same place. There’s definitely a right and a wrong way to do this, but most people are happy to help others; they’re flattered you want their advice, and if you end up being successful, they get value from the relationship as well. Making it easy for them to say yes is the tricky part; you don’t want to burden them with a long email or ask for too much of their time. Ramit Sethi’s blog has smart advice on how to approach people the right way for mentorship.

Thinking creatively and proactively about your trajectory is a necessary part of moving forward in your professional life, and LinkedIn can be an excellent resource and tool to help you map your career.

5 Dollar-Store Halloween Costume Hacks

2014-10-29T01:21:00.000+01:00

Intro

That's big money, and sometimes it seems like you need those kind of big bucks to outfit yourself or your kid in a costume good enough for them to hold their head high the following day at school. The good news? The demand for low-cost solutions to all things, not just Halloween, means that there are more dollar stores (and, sometimes, slightly less than a dollar, wink-wink..) than ever before. And these places are an absolute gold-mine for your Halloween costume toolbox. Nevermind the pre-mades they have on their shelves. Here are 5 fun, creative, and absolutely easy-to-make costumes with the most affordable ingredients imaginable. Trick or Cheap!

How to Ace the Final Interview

2014-10-25T04:33:00.001+01:00

Making it past the first round of interviews offers a sense of satisfaction and gets you one step closer to landing the position. The final interview is your last chance to prove your qualifications and push yourself into the lead candidate position. The initial sessions give you an idea of how the company interviews and what they're looking for, but additional preparation for the final interview readies you for a more in-depth questioning session with the hiring manager.

Instructions

Confirm the time and location of the final interview. Don't assume it will take place in the same location as your previous interviews. Verify the format of the interview so you can prepare for the number of people sitting in and understand what will be expected of you.
Replay all of the previous interviews with the company in your head. Make notes about your answers so you can respond consistently. Identify questions and answers that stumped you or didn't go as well as you'd hoped so you can practice those areas before the final interview.
Research the company if you haven't already. Even if you researched before your first interview, review the information and read more on the company. Show you care about the company by being able to tailor your answers to the company's vision and goals.
Talk to any acquaintance you know who already works for the company to get a sense of what to expect from the final interview. Ask for any insight into exactly what the hiring manager is looking for.
Write down specific examples from your prior work experience as a review for the interview. The final interview often involves more in-depth questions and answers. Having ideas in your head to show you possess the necessary skills makes answering those questions easier.
Prepare yourself to show the hiring manager how well you'll fit into the company. Use the specific examples from your experience and your knowledge of the company to demonstrate that you're a qualified candidate who will excel in the position.
Consider your requirements and desires for salary and benefits. Questions about these topics may arise in the final interview. Preparing yourself to answer the questions helps you avoid being caught off guard and giving a salary range you later regret.
Bring extra copies of your resume in case there are additional people sitting in on the interview. The hiring manager should have a copy of your resume available from the previous interviews, but being prepared with extras shows you're on top of things.

Smart Tips for Using Your Debit Card

2014-10-25T04:12:00.003+01:00

INTRO

Debit cards function similarly to credit cards except that debit cards allow you to withdraw funds directly from a checking account. In other words, when you use a debit card you are spending money you have already earned. Responsible debit card use can help you avoid fees and dangers that may end up costing you money

Check Your Account Balance Regularly

Since debit cards draw money from a checking account, you can only draw as much money as you have in your account. Overdrawing your checking account may result in fees from your bank. Many banks allow users to check account balances online, which can make it easy to keep tabs on how much money you have to spend. Some accounts also offer overdraft protection to protect you from fees if you happen to draw more than your balance.

Cancel Lost Cards Immediately

Debit cards and credit cards are easy to misplace. If you lose your debit card, call your bank and cancel the card as soon as possible. Unlike credit cards, it may be difficult to recoup fraudulent debit card charges because money is withdrawn directly from your checking account. For this reason, consider using a credit card instead of a debit card for normal use and online purchases and then use your debit card to pay off the credit card.

Destroy Old Cards

If you never use a certain card or receive new cards in the mail, destroy your old cards. New debit cards may have new expiration dates and security codes, but the card number will usually be the same.

Memorize Your PIN

Debit cards allow users to set up a personal identification number (PIN) that must be entered when withdrawing funds from an ATM. Set up a PIN as soon as you receive your debit card and commit the number to memory. Bankrate recommends that debit card users never write their PIN on their card.

Keep Your Card in a Safe Place

You should treat your debit card as if it were cash. You probably wouldn't leave $3,000 in cash sitting on the kitchen counter, but that's essentially what you are doing if you leave your debit card on the counter with a checking balance of $3,000. Keep your card with you in your wallet or purse when you are out and put it in a safe, drawer or other hidden location when you are not using it. Never leave the card sitting out where others can see it.

Why You Should Be an Intrapreneur at Work

2014-10-21T00:49:00.001+01:00

Wikipedia defines intrapreneurship as “the act of behaving like an entrepreneur while working within a large organization.” In my view, intrapreneurs are people who, whether they make coffee or run the show from the top of the food chain, have a vested interest in thinking outside the box, pushing new and disruptive ideas forward in their companies and speaking their mind.

Taking this road isn’t usually a popular choice. It’s easier to go with the flow, collect your paycheck and call it a day. However, the benefits of being an empowered, vocal employee are huge. Becoming an intrapreneur at work can help your career — and even the careers of people around you — in a variety of ways.

It demonstrates leadership.
Speaking up when something isn’t going as you think it should — even if it’s just the way a project is being approached — demonstrates confidence and forward thinking. If you’ve never viewed yourself as a leader, this might seem very daunting at first. And many people, women especially, might even feel as though they need permission to make their voice heard. The following quote opened my eyes and shifted my perspective on this many years ago:

“The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.” — Roseanne Barr

Feel how you may about Roseanne, but this idea is simple and empowering. Those who are comfortable speaking their mind are more likely to be seen as having the potential to lead others, a must if you want to move up to a managerial role.

You’ll be more respected.
Even if they disagree with you, your colleagues are more likely to respect you as a professional if you demonstrate assertiveness and independent thinking. Respect yourself and your own ideas, and others will respect you in turn.

You’ll be happier.
Intrapreneurs understand that their careers are in their own hands. If they’re unhappy at work or don’t like something about their workplace or responsibilities, they don’t complain about it; they take steps to change it. Being active instead of passive about your goals and personal vision will make you happier — with your job and yourself — in the long run.

Your company will become a better place for everyone to work.
Vocal employees are more likely to produce a culture where everyone believes they can contribute to a larger conversation about the company and its future. This is key to producing a truly collaborative culture that fosters loyalty.

It’s also vital to ensuring that companies act in ethical ways. Take the example of Carmen Segarra, who was hired by the New York Fed to inspect banks like Goldman Sachs following the financial crisis. According to tapes Segarra secretly recorded, the New York Fed was too afraid of damaging relationships with the big banks, causing them to look the other way more than they should have.

Government regulation of the financial industry is an extreme example, but it can happen anywhere. Company cultures that discourage workers from contradicting the status quo can lead to stagnant progress at best and corruption at worst. Intrapreneurs understand that sometimes ruffling a few feathers is the right thing to do.

Pioneering new and bold ideas is how innovation happens.
Intrapreneurs don’t think of an idea and then shelve it because “the boss will never go for it.” They push forward and ensure their ideas have a voice. They also think creatively about finding a way to make the idea fit within an existing initiative or program. Without people who’re willing to go to bat for their ideas, nothing new and innovative is likely to happen.

Wouldn’t you rather be that person?

Quick Guide on How to Earn Passive Income by Writing Tutorials

2014-05-10T02:27:00.000+01:00

The freelancing lifestyle is defined by one word, uncertainty! As a freelance designer or developer you are building a company as a service provider, and that means you’ll experience times when no income is coming from your service. You aren't going to have steady client work all the time. So how do you go about to prepare for this, CREATE SOURCES OF PASSIVE INCOME! And what better way to do that than creating tutorials?

Creating tutorials is great even outside passive income because it gives you a chance to grow your brand, showcase your talents to potential clients, and gets you active in the community. This is enough talking about doing, lets get to it!

Getting Over Your Fear To Get Started

I know starting to write tutorials seems very intimidating. You’re probably thinking to yourself, “who in the world would ever want to learn from the way I do things?” Right? In actuality in our field everyone, to a degree, has an obsession with reading and learning from others. This is partly due to how fast everything changes and needing to keep up, and understanding that we can learn from each others experiences and mistakes. So don’t stress it, just get to doing.

What You Need To Get Started

Now that your fear for getting started is gone, lets get going. If you are just planning on creating tutorials for popular blogs like 1WD, then getting started is a cinch. It’s as simple as figuring out the typical content they publish, create something similar to that, and email them about it with your pitch. Simple as can be. On the other hand, doing this with your own blog is a lot more work.

Lets take a moment and look at what you need to get your own blog up and running. With your own blog you don’t really need much. All that’s essential is an easily remembered domain, good name, good design and UX, comfortable with a CMS of choice (WP, Drupal, ExpressionEngine, Refinery, etc.) figuring out how often you’d like to publish articles/tutorials, and most importantly, the content itself. Everything listed is an essential item, but content will always be king on your blog.

So here is a more direct check list to look over.

Memorable domain
Good blog name
Good design and UX
Being comfortable with your CMS of choice
Deciding on a publishing schedule
Content, content, content

All that seems really easy right?

Generating Passive Income From Your Tutorials

So now you’ve gotten over your fears of getting started, you know the simple formula of how to prepare tutorials for top blogs, and have an idea of the basic necessities needed to get started as well. So now lets take a quick detour to discuss how you’re going to generate income from your tutorials.

For the most part, all those people you see writing tutorials on blog sites don’t have any real plan. All they’re doing is trying to create a new revenue stream from writing tutorials. In fact most of them don’t even have a portfolio site set up. Whether you’re going to be writing tutorials for your own blog or another site, you need a plan. Lets get to making one.

For Guest Posting

Now if you’re doing tutorials for another site, then you should have some sort of related product you do or could offer. It doesn’t have to be anything major, maybe a theme or a plugin. The smart thing would be to leverage the publicity from doing tutorials on other sites to bring more attention to your products. No extra work put into marketing, and you get to turn readers into possible buyers.

For Your Own Blog

This is a little harder here. This takes a lot of work in the early stages. You’ll need to put a lot of work into marketing, original content, social network interaction, and a whole lot of areas. Too much for a little short description to do it justice, so we’ll talk more about this in the next section.

Getting Your First Taste of Traffic From Affiliations

Many blog sites have some sort of affiliation program that they offer. It could be with the blog itself, or a product they offer, either way it is a great way for you to piggy back off their community to grow yours. This method is great because it takes very little effort on your part. Lets look at a quick 5 step guide in doing this.

Step 1: Start your own blog.
Step 2: Take the time to create a good body of content for your blog. I’d say 10 quality tutorials and/or articles would do.
Step 3: Find a select group of industry blogs that are popular in the area you write on, and offer them a tutorial to publish.
Step 4: Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. Ask them to allow you to include at least one link to a specific post on your blog – you can even go as far as waive the fee that they would normally pay you for your article.
Step 5: Discretely promote yourself in your post, see below for example.

Alright, so in this tutorial we’re going to teach you how to create WordPress themes. Now I don’t just start from scratch with every product, that is a major time drain, instead I start out with this framework I created [framework name].

Make Money With Google AdSense

2014-04-17T15:38:00.000+01:00

Interested in making money with Google?

Here's your complete guide to getting started along with some info on how to maximize your earnings, why some accounts are disabled and even alternatives to AdSense.

What is Google AdSense?

AdSense is a nice way to monetize your traffic, and very easy to implement. It's one of my top earners and has been since 2003. (See the video about my earnings further down.)

Google.com earns most of its revenue by allowing other website owners to advertise on their search results pages.

All this is managed through a program they call AdWords (pay per click marketing).

You see these ads displayed above the free/organic results and along the right side of the page on Google.com.

These are called Sponsored Results, and the advertisers are paying a certain amount of money per click for these ads.

It's an auction-based system that allows advertisers to compete for those spots. Whomever has the highest bid and most "quality" ad, gets the top spot and so forth.

Now you can earn a share of the revenue that Google earns from AdWords by displaying these same text or image ads on your site. When someone clicks, you earn roughly 68% of the click and Google gets the rest.

This program is called AdSense.

It's a great program that can help you drive additional income to your website -- especially if it's mostly content based.

So if you are one of those people that doesn't like the idea of paying for a site, this is an excellent way to earn your money back and then some.

Please make sure you read this entire article. AdSense is not a get-rich-quick scheme and it takes a lot of work to make money. Don't think that just because you join, you are guaranteed to make big money.

How Does AdSense Work?

Here's a video I did some years back. The reason I still show it here is the concept is still exactly the same.

The biggest difference is it takes more work to build up traffic.

How Much Can You Earn With AdSense?

The commission you receive per click depends on how much advertisers are paying Google for the particular ad. You will earn a share of that amount. I've heard of earnings anywhere from 2 cents to $15 per click.

Getting over $1 is probably very rare, although it does happen from time to time. However, you will find that most of your earnings will be on the lower end of the spectrum.

It's important to note that I cannot estimate how much you will earn based on your traffic. People always want to know what the average amount is per click.

No one knows the answer to this except Google, so don't let anyone try to tell you any different. It would be impossible for myself or any AdSense publisher to give this information because the ads all cost different prices and we have no idea what advertisers are paying.

However, there are some niches that obviously pay more. So it is logical to believe that keyword phrases like sex, make money, etc. may earn you more per click since these are highly competitive keywords that are searched for quite a bit on

The more competitive the search term, the more the advertisers pay and the more you earn as a publisher.

Even though Google will not reveal how much you are earning for each ad that is clicked from your site, you can still login to your account at any time and see the total amount of revenue you've generated that day, week, month, year, etc.

For example, if you see that you've made $12.60 today from 9 clicks then you can calculate that your average click-thru commission was $1.40 per click. That's as detailed as their stats will get. Also remember, that's only an average. You won't know how much each specific ad brought in.

The amount you'll earn also depends largely on the amount of targeted traffic you receive to your own site, how well the ads match your audience's interests, the placement of the ads on your pages, and of course the amount you receive per click.

Ideally, you should create a site on a topic you know a lot about. That way you'll have a much easier time creating a generous amount of content on that subject.

My Google AdSense Earnings

I have been receiving monthly checks from Google since 2003 (yes that's me holding the same check from above), and I've read numerous success stories of websites earning 5 digit incomes per month with AdSense.

Now, I will admit, a 5-digit commission in a single month is not the norm for most participants, especially today because it is more difficult to get traffic than it was years ago.

My sites have been around for a long time and I have a great deal of traffic so that's a big reason why I earn 4 digits per month.

I promote my sites on social media, create YouTube videos etc. Making a lot of money with AdSense is all about numbers. The more traffic you have, the greater the earning potential.

My checks weren't always this large. I think my first month's earnings in 2003 totaled less than $20. However, as my traffic increased, so did my checks.

I cannot emphasize this enough. AdSense is NOT an overnight get-rich-quick opportunity. Even though this may look easy, please don't underestimate the amount of work I've put into my sites over the years.

Creating Your Website for AdSense

Before you even begin your site, make sure you've come up with a topic that you feel you know plenty about. That way it will be easiest to write a lot of content.

The more content you have, the better chance you have getting accepted into the program. Also, the more content and traffic, the greater the earning potential.

If you want to make a lot of money, prepare to write a lot of content and learn how to market your site. Don't expect to throw up a 10 page site and make $1,000 per month. That's unrealistic.

Now let's talk about building your website.

Creating Your Site

Get a domain (yoursite.com) and then sign up for a web host and build your pages. I highly recommend using WordPress to create your site because you just pick a theme and your site is up and running.

Once you have selected your theme, you can add AdSense ads by either using a free AdSense plugin or you can use the WordPress Text widget to easily add ads to your sidebar.

How to Join AdSense

Once you have 20-30 pages on your site, go tohttp://adsense.google.com to apply.

When you are accepted, simply copy and paste the provided HTML code into any page that you'd like to show the ads. You can opt to display text ads, image ads, or a combination of both. It's up to you.

You can either display the ads vertically along side the page like Google does or in a banner-like formation horizontally across your pages. You can even customize the colors to match your site's theme.

Tips on Succeeding With AdSense

Here are some tips for achieving success with Google AdSense.

Build Traffic

You're not going to make anything with AdSense if you don't have enough traffic. Please don't think this is some easy, get-rich-quick program. This takes work and it all starts with getting visitors.

Experiment

Test ad sizes, images vs. text, play around with colors, you name it. I personally like to have my ads match the background of my site so they blend more.

Some people prefer to make their ads stand out by using bold/contrasting colors, but that never worked well for me. I think it's because they look so much like ads.

To display the ads vertically along the right side of the page, just copy this code into your site and paste your AdSense code where indicated.

You can change the width of the table to suit your needs, just remember that it needs to be wide enough to fit whatever AdSense code you selected. You can also switch the alignment by changing the align attribute from "left" to "right."

Create Channels

Channels allow you to see what units are working best. So if you are adding an AdSense unit to your header, you should create a channel called (name it Header, for example) so you can track its performance in your reports.

I think it's important to maximize your click through rate (CTR) so you can attract more advertisers (just my opinion based on logic.) So I remove channels/units that perform significantly lower than others.

Advertisers want to advertise on sites that will give them the most clicks, right? So it makes sense to optimize your account's CTR as much as you can.

So how do you create channels?

When you are creating a new ad unit, you are presented the option of creating a custom channel on the first screen...

Set Units to "Targeted"

When you target your custom channel units, you make them available to Placement advertisers who may want to advertise on your site directly. These advertisers pay more so you earn more per click.

It's super easy to set this up.

Just click "My Ads" from your account, then select "Custom Channels". Click the channel you want to target and click the box for targeting as illustrated below...

Avoid Free Hosts

I know times are tough economically and a lot of you don't want to pay for a website. But the facts don't lie. Successful website owners invest money. Period.

I have yet to open up a magazine and see a successful site featured hosted on Blogger.com or another free host. Never. And I've been out here since 1998.

If you want the search engines and people to take your site seriously, you have to own your site. And if you don't do this, I question your dedication.

Even if it means you have to wait and save your money for 6 months to buy a domain and hosting. I'd rather you do that then take shortcuts with free hosting.

The other problem with free hosts is they can remove your site without warning. This happened to a gentleman just last week who emailed me. There was nothing I could do. If you don't own your site, you don't own your income.

How Come I'm Not Making Much Money With AdSense

People often ask me why their earnings are so low and there are many reasons for that.

1. Not enough traffic

If your site has less than 500 visitors per day, it's going to be difficult to make much with AdSense. You have to remember that only a small percentage of people will click on your ads (1-2%) so if you have 500 people coming to your site in a day, that's 5 clicks.

Also, most clicks will earn you less than $1, so hopefully you can see that it takes a great deal of traffic to build up income with AdSense.

2. Not enough relevant ads displaying

Some niches have more, relevant ads that Google can display. This will drastically impact your click through rate. If the ads aren't relevant to your content then your visitors aren't going to click.

That's why it's important to make sure your site has a lot of content so you can help Google display the most relevant ads. Granted, sometimes there aren't relevant ads available, and there's nothing you can really do about that.

However, just having a few sentences with some images is not helping Google find the best ads because you have so little content.

3. Low paying niche

Let's face it. Some niches pay more than others. If you have a finance site, the ads will probably pay more than the ads on an entertainment site.

So the niche you are in plays a big role in how much you can make. That's why it's hard to estimate how much anyone can earn with AdSense. There are just too many different variables.

Not Getting Approved?

People often ask me why they can't get approved for AdSense. It's tough to answer because I do not work for Google, so I can only guess.

Many times it's because there are not enough pages on your website. I tell people to shoot for at least 20-30 pages at the very minimum, and make sure your content is very niche -- centered around ONE topic.

Google doesn't like sites that cover too many different topics because it's hard to target ads. The more focused your content is, the better.

In addition to more content, aim for longer articles (at least 700 words or more). Google does not like "thin" content sites that look as if they were created just for AdSense. Put some meat on those bones and make it look as if you put some effort into your website!

Also, check your grammar, spelling, layout etc. Remember you are partnering with Google and they don't like to see messy sites with poor/confusing navigation structures.

Getting Disabled From AdSense

Recently, a lot of publishers have been getting their accounts disabled for "fraudulent or potential fraudulent click activity."

This has frustrated a lot of AdSense publishers because many claim they have done nothing wrong and how in the heck does Google define "potential" click fraud?

No one really knows.

Remember, Google earns most money from advertising. The ads that appear on your pages are costing someone money every single time a click is registered.

Google monitors clicks very closely -- especially if your account is new.

So if they sense A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G out of the ordinary or feel you are getting traffic from places that may may produce bot/automated/fraudulent clicks, they will disable your account to protect their advertiser's money.

They used to disable when they confirmed fraudulent clicks, but now they will disable even if they see potential risk with your account -- whatever that means.

Then they refund the advertiser their money -- which is why you don't receive a check for money earned if you are disabled.

Unfortunately no one really knows exactly what the threshold is for determining your account has "potential fradulent clicks."

And to make things worse, their communication when you are disabled is automated and there are usually no warnings -- which is unfortunate and frustrating for people who have done nothing wrong. There's also no way to reach out for definitive answers and appeals usually fail.

Nothing is Guaranteed With AdSense

As frustrating as it is to get disabled from AdSense, keep in mind, Google never promises us anything and they will do what they can to protect their own revenue.

If that means disabling accounts they feel are at risk of producing click fraud, they will do it.

I know that's a tough pill to swallow and I can imagine it does feel horrible to get your account disabled, but when we all "accepted" the terms and conditions upon signing up, that is basically what we were agreeing to.

There are no guarantees with AdSense and we are all at risk of losing our accounts.

Now I do believe that the system has kinks, and I believe some innocent people are disabled, but that's why you cannot put all your income eggs in one basket. Google has to protect their advertiser's money.

No one is safe from getting banned... not even me... and it's just one of those things that comes with the territory if you decide to join the AdSense program.

Google will always safeguard their advertisers because they are their customers -- not us. And if they feel their money is being wasted on fraudulent clicks (even if it's only potential), they won't stand for it.

Here is a basic summary of key information that will help you get approved and manage your AdSense account.

Google AdSense Alternatives

If you were disabled from the program, here are some alternate programs you can try...

Don't ever depend on AdSense as your main income source.

Investment in alternative energy

2012-09-06T00:46:00.003+01:00

Investments in Alternative Energy

It is possible to have a portfolio which profitably (that's the key word, is it not?) invests in alternative energy funds. “Green” energy production is expected to be a multi-billion (in today's dollars) industry by 2013.

The most recently developed wind-turbine technologies have brought us wind-produced energy which is more cost efficient as well as more widespread. More state-of-the-art wind energy technologies are typically more market competitive with conventional energy technologies. The newer wind-power technologies don't even kill birds like in days of old! Wind energy production is a growing technology, and companies engaged in it would make up an excellent part of a growth or aggressive growth portfolio.

Next to consider are solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, technologies. These are to be found implemented in pocket calculators, private property lights, US Coast Guard buoys, and other areas. More and more they find their way onto the roofs of housing and commercial buildings and building complexes. Cost is falling. Their energy efficiency (the ratio of the amount of work needed to cause their energy production versus the actual energy production) is steadily on the rise. As an example, the conversion efficiency of silicon cells has increased from a mere four percent in 1982 to over 20% for the latest technologies. Photovoltaic cells create absolute zero pollution as they are generating electrical power. However, photovoltaic cellls are not presently as cost effective as “utility produced” electricity. “PV” cells are not [capable at present for producing industrial-production amounts of electricity due to their present constraints on space. However, areas where photovoltaic cell arrays could be implemented are increasingly available. In sum, costs are going down while efficiency is rising for this alternative fuel technology.

Many alternative energy investment portfolio advisors are confident that alternative energies derived from currents, tidal movement, and temperature differentials are poised to become a new and predominant form of clean energy. The French are actually fairly advanced at hydro power generation, and numerous studies are being made in Scotland and the US along these sames lines. Some concerns center around the problems with the deterioration of metals in salt water, marine growth such as barnacles, and violent storms which have all been disruptions to energy production in the past. However, these problems for the most part seem to be cured through the use of different, better materials. Ocean-produced energy has a huge advantage because the timing of ocean currents and waves are well understood and reliable.

Investments in hydro-electric technology have grown in the last two decades. Hydro-electric power is clean; however, it's also limited by geography. While already prominent as power generation, the large, older dams have had problems with disturbing marine life. Improvements have been made on those dams in order to protect marine life, but these improvements have been expensive. Consequently, more attention is now being paid to low-impact "run-of-the-river" hydro-power plants, which do not have these ecological problems.

The reality is, the energy future is green, and investors would do well to put their money out wisely, with that advice in their minds.

Simple, yet effective ways to make your small business a success

2012-09-06T00:44:00.000+01:00

Are you a small business owner? If you are, you likely already know that you have tocompete with a large number of other businesses, many of which may be larger than your business or have more money to “toss,” around. While you may think that your size automatically puts you at a disadvantage, it doesn’t have to. There are a number of ways that you can go about making sure that your small business is a successful, profitable one; ways that actually require little or no work on your part.

One of the simplest, yet most effective ways that you can turn your small business into a success and keep it as one is by smiling. Yes, smiling. Many people, possibly even you, do not actually realize just how far a smile really goes. When it comes to buying a product or a service, from both large and small business owners, many customers want to feel appreciated or at least like they are being noticed. After all, without the customer, you and your small business employees wouldn’t even have jobs. That is why it is important that you and your employees always smile at your customers and always put on a happy front.

Small talk is another simple, yet effective way to make your small business a success. Small talk can be something as simple as asking any of your customers if they need help finding anything, if you run a retail store, or asking them about the weather outside. Small talk makes your customers feel important. It makes many consumers feel good that there is assistance available if it is needed, as well as the fact that some actually values their opinion or insight, even if it is only about the weather. That is why you and your employees are always advised to strike up a conversation with your customers. This conversation is what will likely keep them coming back for more.

As stated above, there are many people who tend to forget how much a smile can brighten up a person’s day. In addition to smiling, it seems as if some customer service workers have forgotten the importance of a simple thank you. When running a small business, your customers have the options of shopping with you or with a larger company, a larger company that have more products for sale, at lower prices. What often sets you and your competitors apart is your customer service. That is why it is advised that you and all of your employers thank all of your customers for their business and ask them to come again soon. Your customers do not have to shop at your store, but they do chose to do so; therefore, make sure you thank them for it.

Another way that you can help to ensure that your small business is a successful one, one that consumers love doing business with, is being polite on the phone to all callers. While this may seem like common sense, there are times when it can easily be forgotten. Sometimes it seems is if potential customers call with questions about store hours or a product at the worst possible time, often a time when you are busy. Although this may be frustrating to you, you are advised to stay calm, cool, and collective. If you need to, ask the caller to please hold on for a minute, but try not to keep them on hold for too long. Your actions or the actions of your employees on the phone will have a significant impact on whether or not the caller decides to become a paying customer later on.

As outlined above, being friendly, patient, and pleasant to deal with are simple, yet effective ways for you and your business to make a name for yourself; a positive name. That positive name is what may help to keep your business running strong and profitable for years to come.

TOP 10 GREAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE':

NO.1 OPPORTUNITY 1 Affiliate Marketing/Google Adwords?

"Discover How You Can Earn $500 weekly through the Easiest, Fastest and Cheapest Business in the World"

Affiliate Marketing is unarguably the world's easiest, cheapest and fastest business to start. It is so cheap that you can start it with less than $25 (N2,900), so profitable that some people earn more than $1 million dollars from it annually, and so fast that you can begin earning money from it in less than 1hour! And the earning potential keeps increasing daily.

You do not need to own a product, service or website of your own and about 2 hrs of browsing a week would be enough for you if you are ready.

Let Me Explain......

Affiliate Programs: More than 350 million times daily, people from all over the world use Google.com to search for products and services they want to purchase online. More than 90% of these people have credit cards or other means for online payment (e.g. PayPal). At 350 million searches daily, you will agree with me that Google.com gets lots of visitors.

Affiliate programs involve your partnering with different websites on the Internet which have items for sale. These items could be phones, books, furniture, electronics, cars, jewelries, web hosting, bags, boats - you name it!

Forming a partnerships like this is very simple. It only involves your filling out a form - just as if you are opening a new email account!

Now, since lots of people are already searching for lots and lots of different products and services to purchase. You simply partner with any website/company which their products are in demand and then place adverts on Google.com for them. For each sale you help any website/company you partner with, they pay you a commission (a percentage).

These adverts you place on Google are called Google AdWords. They appear to the right of your search results. If you have used Google to search for anything before, you must have seen the AdWords adverts placed by other people.

The commissions you might receive range from $25, $40, $50, $75, $100, even $150 PER SALE you send them (depending on the product) .Now even if you're generating only 1 sale a day at a mere $50 commission payout, you're making $50 A DAY on complete autopilot — that's $1500 a month! Don't worry if you do not completely understand it right now, it's really very simple and I will make it clearer for you.

Google AdWords: They are those little text boxes that appear to the right of your search results on Google.com. It is a very efficient advertising system developed by Google. It costs you only $5 dollars to register and you are charged only when someone clicks on your advert. The minimum cost per click is about $0.05 (5 cents).

Most people want to know…

How do they know the sale was made through your advert?

Whenever you choose an affiliate product to promote from an Affiliate Website such as ClickBank.com,Clck2sell and CJ.com, you are given a special unique tracking code (Link) which is used to know whenever someone buys through your advert. And whenever someone does, the sale is unfailingly credited to you. In most cases a "cookie" (small computer program) is placed on the persons computer so that you are still credited with the sale if the person comes back to buy, say within the next 6 months!

*Note: ClickBank.com no longer accepts registrations from Nigeria. However, I'll show you how you can get a United States address and how to collect your checks.

My best Affiliate Network is ClickBank.com because they specialize only in digital downloadable products such as ebooks,softwers etc. I prefer promoting digital downloadable products in place of tangibles like Cell Phones, Plasma TV's, Toys, Cars etc because digital products sell like hot cakes! Their prices are mostly not expensive and additionally people are mostly on the Internet for information, hence people buy them more. Additionally, you could earn as much as 75% commissions on each sale from your adverts. Note that the owners of tangible products like cars, watches, etc cannot afford to pay you as much as 75% commissions - that's why ClickBank is my favourite.

Clickbank.com sends out commission checks on the 15th of every month. To sign up for Google AdWords costs only $5 and ClickBank.com is free to join. I'll get back to this.

NO 2.OPPORTUNITY 2 Make Money Google Adsense

‘’Earn money by just sitting in between Google.com and millions of Online advertisers’’

Google should be your new best friend.

There's a really cool program called Google Adsense. It's basically a way for you to get paid if you have your own page on internet or a free "blog" every time a person visits it and clicks on a link.

It's dead simple to: All you do is submit your application to sign up to Google's FREE Adsense program (which I will show you exactly how to do to almost guarantee your application being approved), take the simple code they give you, "copy and paste" it onto your page or free blog, and watch as the money rolls in!

Google adsense is so cool — no matter what your topic is, google will automatically place little advertisements related to the exact topic of your Page, so people will not be seeing random ads but ads of things they are probably interested in learning more about!

And so each time someone clicks on one of these little "adverts", you get paid as much as $0.50, $2.00, $5.00, even as much as $10.00 PER CLICK. Meaning if you got 100 clicks in one day (which honestly isn't that hard to get), and let's say you were only getting a mere $0.50 a click. You'd still earn $50 that day... paid direct to you!

I show you how to do ALL of this with ease in vivid exact detail, full with screenshots and crisp pictures, inside this program.

You get sent a check when you earn up to $100. It is the revenue source behind most blogs,websites and forums on the internet.

NO 6 OPPORTUNITY 6 Make Money By Investing Online.

"The Best Profit On The Online Investment World"

HYIP...Does It Really works....?

For example there are people who say that it is impossible to open a click bank account in Nigeria, well i will show you how to do that. Also there are people who say that Internet business is a scam and that people don't make genuine money on the Internet. Well from their point of view they may be right. But they are not. I know of people, i mean Nigerians who make as much as $50,000 every month from their online businesses.

You see just because something didn't work for you doesn't mean that it is not real. The reason for this is because H.Y.I.P, an acrostic for High Yield Investment Program is something that was working years ago and all of a sudden it stopped and ever since people start to say that H.Y.I.P is a scam but the truth is that not all HYIP are scams just in the same way not all pastor's are fake!

Meanwhile once in a while, you should try someone investment because i do too!. Recently i started sharing with my clients and customers about someone H.Y.I.P that i know and have tested that works very well.

One of them is euro wide . A great H.Y.I.P company. They use to pay 27% for every investment you make for four days but recently i think they have reduced it to 10% because everyday more and more people are discovering about them.For every investment that you make [they have 3 different investment plans] you will get 10% returns in four days time. That means if you put in $50 in four days time your money will be $55. That is a $5 added.

Many of my students have make good money from this website and i think they are fantastic,the minimum amount you can invest is $5 . Think about it, i put in $500 and in 4 days time i will have $50 profit without doing anything. Invest the whole money back and in a month time i would have made more than $350 as profit without doing a single thing!

More on that later...

My advise is that you start with something small and when you start seeing the result you can increase the figures.

The reason i gave this investment secret is because it is a lazy and sneak way to make cash. It is better to have N1 million somewhere that it will be multiplied than just putting it in a bank where you would see almost any interest.

There's simply no way you won't make money from at least one of these TEN businesses!

Below are the additional businesses that you are going to learn

''Where Dreams Come Alive....''

Infact, this is one of the MOST easiest ways of making money!

As i previously told you the secret behind the financial success of famous websites like google, yahoo, myspace, facebook and hi5 etc is: they are well known by many people and this will expand their chances to make huge money by advertising and offering different services.

I wasn't expecting too much when I joined. But I've been pleasantly surprised.This is the easiest job I've ever had and I'm loving it,you really should give it a try,Test it out and see for yourself.

These pay per lead programs are easy to join and start making money in less than 30 minutes because all what you are required to do is to refer (lead/derive/direct) others to sign up or download a free software through your special link that will be given to you, they dont even need to buy any thing and you will get paid for directing them, this is because the website needs you to introduce it to more people and thats precisely means their success.

READ THIS AND NEVER WORRY ABOUT MONEY AGAIN

Are you ready to take charge of your financial future? Well, For those who want turn their financial lives around this year. I have prepared a dollarmoney KIT ebook package that will help you achieve it and lots more.

You know! It’s a matter of fact that doctors, lawyers and other professionals have income exceeding $10,000 or more per year but very few of them actually ever have time to really enjoy their wealth!

WHY!?

Because as soon as they stop working their income simply stops!

"You must be in business for yourself; you'll never get rich working for someone else"

In essence, by working for someone else (at least full time) you allow your happiness and future to rest in the hands of other people...including that of your wife, children and dependants. You leave your future blank and unstable, and you lose the present and future benefits you will receive from a successful personally owned and easy to run business.

In the end, you significantly increase your income every month while still doing almost the same amount of work!

You can let today's technology tend your business while you go about yours, enjoying the lifestyle and collecting the rewards. No longer do you have to be chained to a desk or tied to a phone or imprisoned in the corporate world with a boss as the warden. Set your own hours, your own dress code, and most of all, your own work space. This is an enviable opportunity that can be yours.

To get my package kit shipped to you, you have to pay $10 (#1500) to my alertpay or paypal account. ' kingsleynzediegwu@rocketmail.com'. This is for both paypal & alertpay. If you are Nigeria based, you can pay #1500 at Intercontinental bank plc. Account Name: Nzediegwu Kingsley. Account No_: 0030110000537530.
