Q is for…

Shai Coggins — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:46:22 +0000

This is part of the A-Z of Making Money Online series. This series covers various ways of making money online, in alphabetical order.

Now here are some money-making ideas that start with the letter Q…

Questionnaires – I’ve heard people making money online by taking surveys and questionnaires. However, all the sites I’ve tested so far haven’t really resulted in to any real income. So, I’ve hesitated to write more about this topic. But, I’m told that it’s possible, so I thought I’d mention it here anyway. I’m still doubtful.
QuickShop – This is a Wordpress plugin to help you build an online shop.
Quizzes – One great way to introduce interactivity in to sites and social networking pages is through quizzes. People some to love taking them! That’s why many sites have dedicated services just for making and taking quizzes, and it’s how they make money online.

Hmmm… As you can see, I haven’t really encountered a lot of Q-related sites and services that help people to make money online. What about you? Do you have any suggestions?

Make Money with Twitter Idea: Link with Amazon Affiliate

Shai Coggins — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:48:42 +0000

Ever since Twitter became the latest biggest thing online, people have been trying to find different ways to make money from it. I have shared some of these ideas here at JMMO in the past. And, I thought I’d share another one that I came across recently.

You see, one of Amazon’s recent affiliate tool is a great way to make money using Twitter by linking to books and other products on Amazon using the Site Stripe. All you need to do is visit a product page while you’re logged in as an Amazon Affiliate (as well as logged in to your Twitter account), and you can find the “Share on Twitter” link via the Site Stripe (found near the top of the web page). Click on that link and you’ll have a readymade Tweet that you can use as is, or edit accordingly.

Now, how will this work best?

Well, say you wish to Tweet about a book that you’re reading or a product that you want to buy. Now, you can easily link to whatever you wish to talk about that’s also available via Amazon (using your affiliate ID). And, your contacts can readily check out the product via Amazon using your affiliate link on Twitter. If they decide to buy, you get the commission.

It’ll be interesting to see how people will use this tool.

Random Money Thoughts: Money Musings Monday

Shai Coggins — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:26:43 +0000

Happy First Monday of November! Well, it’s time for another Money Musings Monday.

I hope that you had a good October, money-wise. I have to say that things actually looked quite well on my side on that front. I received a handful of really good news regarding finances last month. Including getting new freelance work, selling a number of advertising spots, and residual online income from some passive sources, among others.

Probably just in time too, as holiday spending is about to come in full force now that November is here.

Also, other than the usual gift-giving and such for the upcoming holiday season, I’m actually scheduled to do a three-country trip at the end of this month (off to Singapore, UK, and South Africa), which will last for about six weeks. I still plan to check in here during my trip. But, the frequency of such check-ins will depend on availability of internet connections wherever I might be. In any case, I hope to tell you more in the coming weeks.

What about you? What are your plans this month? Anything special relating to your online ventures? How do you plan for your online business when you go away on holiday?

Look Where You Shop: How To Find Affiliate Programs {Part 1 in Series}

Shai Coggins — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:22:50 +0000

One of the things that I usually get asked about making money online is: “How do I find an affiliate program to use and make money from?”

With the masses of affiliate programs and services out there, I can imagine how difficult the process might be, especially if you’re just starting out with affiliate marketing. In fact, I must admit that I don’t know everything that there is to know about this. It’s such a huge world!

But, thankfully, I have had enough success with affiliate programs to see some steady flow of cash coming from the affiliate relationships that I have. And, having put in the initial effort of finding the right ones that will work for me and my site/s, I am able to see the financial benefits.

So, I thought I’d create a series of short tips for those of you who might be interested in looking in this direction of making money online.

And yes, my first tip is: Look at Where You Shop Online!

When finding the right affiliate program, it’s always good to promote a product or service that you have already used yourself. Especially if it’s something that you liked. After all, it’s easier to say nice things about products and services that you’ve tried and enjoyed, right?

In my own attempts at using affiliate programs to make money online, I found that I’ve made the most money from those that I am able to endorse. That’s why I very rarely get in to affiliate relationships that I only heard about and never really used.

Therefore, I encourage you to have a look at the things that you enjoy buying online and the shops that you buy from. Do they have an affiliate program that you can sign up for?

Also, don’t just look at the popular affiliate programs ones like Amazon. I must say that while I continue to use Amazon, the bulk of my affiliate income comes from lesser-known sites and services.

So go ahead and watch what kind of things you buy online. Do you enjoy buying books, shoes, electronic gadgets…? See if you can sell those same items through an affiliate program. And yes, take note of those shops where you enjoy buying items from. Which shops are they? See if they run an affiliate program that you can use.

$100 Challenge: Year 3, Month 7 Update

Shai Coggins — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:02:17 +0000

Well, it’s time for another $100 challenge: Year 3 * with you. I think I better hurry up with these updates, as I think I’m delayed by about 3-4 months!

Project A Update: A long-time blog that needs to increase income after major shifts. Initial target is $100 a month, working towards $100 a week.

Here’s the latest tally -

Month 1 – $66
Month 2 – $147.80
Month 3 – $154.06
Month 4 – $188.33
Month 5 – $120.59
Month 6 – $152.28
Month 7 – $100.87

Phew! Almost went below $100 for this month. Definitely the lowest it has been in a while. Again, this may be due to the lull of ecommerce during the North American summer months. In any case, this income is a combination of Adsense and direct advertising.

Total: $929.93

Project B Update: Bringing a Brand new site to make its first $100

Still not updated, but it’s now got a PR of 2.

In any case, here’s the ongoing tally for the site: Month 1: Non-existent site. Month 2: $0.00. Month 3: $0.21. Month 4: $2.27. Month 5: $1.91. Month 6: $1.49. Month 7: $0.39.

So, total – $6.27. All on Adsense. Cool to see that at least it will almost pay for its own domain name registration. Heh.

Project C Update: To see how long it will take for a relatively new online venture to make its first $100.

COMPLETED. It took about 4 months with very little effort. Still working on this venture and has made me approximately US $160 within 7 months. Continuously getting paid a small monthly honorarium. Yay.

Previous Updates:

*If you wish to join the challenge just let us know and we’ll add you in!

Link Lovin’: 161009 Edition

Shai Coggins — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 22:34:56 +0000

It has been a while since I last shared some link love here at JMMO. So, I thought now might a good time to do so! Here are some things that I found online recently that you might find interesting too —

Kindle Goes International – I’m sure that most of you have heard about Amazon’s electronic reader Kindle. This week, they’ve announced that they’re finally releasing an international version. I am so excited about this, as I’ve been waiting for this to happen. Now, if only I can find the budget to buy one. Hmmm… What about you? If you’re non-US based, are you planning on buying Kindle?
Interview with an Ex-Rock Star: Steve Essa – Internet marketer and former rock star Steve Essa shares some of his thoughts and ideas on moving from his old days playing in a rock band to becoming an internet marketer managing his own business.
50 Surprisingly Amazing Themes for Blogger – If you run your site or blog on Blogger.com, you might be in the market for finding a really cool theme alternative that Blogger’s usual stuff. This site lists some really great ones!

Oh, and I’ve been meaning to mention my friend Darren Rowse’s new Problogger.com Community. I’m hoping to do a more review of this one of these days, but since I’ve only managed to explore it a little bit, I’m not quite ready yet to write up my experience. So far, it’s looking good, though. Basically, it’s paid forum for bloggers who wish to be able to network with other bloggers — either to help each other monetise their blogs or to support each other’s blogging projects. People can find bloggers for hire, blogging ideas, and more. Right now, there’s a limited time offer of $1.95/month to be part of this community. When you sign up now, you’ll even get a 50% discount on the 31 Days to a Better Blog workbook by Darren Rowse.

Well, that’s it for now. If you have a cool resource that you’d like to share, please do so in the comments section! But, only legitimate resources will be allowed. Spammy links will be deleted. Thanks!
