There are many hurdles that can only be faced by the serious entrepreneurs. You need to know that there is no short cut in there and you need the patience and smart thinking to generate income. It will take a while, but you will certainly succeed in it. Giving up is the last thing you can do. So the five things that you need are determination, patience, smart thinking, hard work and consistency. When you have the right ingredients you will eventually own a successful business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also few pitfalls that you need to watch for. If you have the above mentioned five qualities that are needed for a successful business, you will then only need to avoid these pitfalls and the success will be there waiting for you. These pitfalls are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. You should not wait for someone to come to you and teach you step by step how to start the business. All you need is an opportunity and you should grab it. There are plenty of opportunities so all you need is action. Take action, start your business immediately and you will learn with time. Remember that time and experiences are the best teachers. If you can find someone on the way to help you or guide you, there is no harm in listening to him though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Finding the right niche is very important. You need to find a niche which is not that active. That means that there is no serious competition in that niche. If you select a niche which has tense competition in it, it would become difficult for you to grow from scrap. Remember that there are always unexplored arenas and all you need is to find one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Don’t be the routine package. Be different and offer something unique to your customers. Being a routine package won’t help you much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Remember that those who are afraid of risks never succeed. You should not fear the failure and should be prepared to meet it bravely. Learn from your mistakes and be critical of yourself. This will help you to learn a lot and you will learn quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Take it to the end. Never give in. when you start a project, then finish it. Being afraid and giving it up is not what you want. Finishing a project will help you a lot in future even if the project is a failure. There may be situations when you will lose faith in your own dreams and you will start thinking about other ventures, but do not quit the on going project. Take it to its ration end.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-2308666971722715605?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/C8yBBk2bb2c/five-tips-to-run-home-business.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/09/five-tips-to-run-home-business.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-3991303937635673998</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 08:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-19T01:34:42.087-07:00</atom:updated><title>How to Drive Traffic to Your Website on a Low Budget</title><description>When people have their money making website ready and launched on the Internet, they need to drive traffic to their website in order to generate income.

While some quickly act to make their dreams come true, others are simply too afraid to risk losing a stable income. If you are among those who hope to make the transition from being a mere employee to being a flourishing web entrepreneur, you should know that there are a number of factors that will contribute to the success of your future online business. And, unless you are ready to provide all those factors, it might be wise to keep your day job in the meantime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the most important factors that will contribute to the success of your online business is your dedication as a web entrepreneur. It will not enough for you to treat your online business as a hobby or as a means to earn extra income. If you want to quit your day job and make a living out of your online business, you need to be ready to dedicate yourself to it and focus all your time and effort on running it. You will also need to spend enough time learning everything you can to help you run your online business properly. Ideally, before you quit your day job, you would have already planned out your online business and have taken steps to learn everything about the niche you want to penetrate, the target market you want to focus on, and the most effective internet marketing strategies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another very important factor is your network. To really succeed in making money online, you need to have a network of like-minded entrepreneurs. You also need to establish your online reputation within the niche you want to penetrate. If this is something you haven't done, you should keep your day job in the mean time but start being active in relevant online communities. Begin to establish your online reputation now so that there will already be people who will patronize you as soon as you launch your online business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, a lucrative online business venture entails providing exceptional customer service. No matter what your online business involves, you need to understand that you must go out of your way to take care of and please your customers. Keep in mind that it is always more costly to acquire new customers than it is to keep them. One of your tasks in taking care of your customers would be to communicate with them as regularly as possible. You will also need to reply to their queries at the soonest possible time. If you aren't available to address them when they need you, they can easily lose interest in your business.

Most of these people claim that they are innocent and have never clicked on their on AdSense ads. So they have no idea why click fraud can occur on their AdSense accounts. The truth is click fraud can happen in several ways and not necessarily caused by the AdSense publisher himself/herself who accidentally clicked on his/her own AdSense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below are some of the tips to protect your AdSense account:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Do not use autosurf programs to promote your websites that contain AdSense. Autosurf programs can substantially increase your website traffic or hits, AdSense page view and ecpm but people who surf your site only to earn advertising credit or other type of incentives. So the traffic generated from autosurf programs aren't counted as real and thus against AdSense policies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) If possible, do not involve in any traffic exchange networks and programs. If you have join one or more programs or networks that can make you a steady AdSense commission, you should start worry about your AdSense account as this could mean that members of the program(s) were clicking each other AdSense ads all the while whether intentionally or unintentionally. As soon as Google detected a group of people were clicking each other &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/adsense"&gt;AdSense&lt;/a&gt;, many of the members AdSense account in the program will be suspended. Also traffic exchange can be another mean to artificially generate tons of unreal website traffic or hits and boost up AdSense page view &amp; ecpm and it is strictly prohibited by Google .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Do not join AdSense exchange networks. They are similar to traffic exchange programs except members are participate just for clicking each other AdSense. This should be a guaranteed way to be banned by Google.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Read all the &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/adsense"&gt;Google AdSense policies&lt;/a&gt; at to see whether you have against any policies and make the necessary modification.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-2530214263010056455?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/OeyHsy6i_aE/tips-for-avoiding-your-adsense-account.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/06/tips-for-avoiding-your-adsense-account.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-5737149128535120099</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Jun 2009 08:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-13T01:43:37.087-07:00</atom:updated><title>Four Essentials to Succeed as a Home-Based Entrepreneur</title><description>Anyone can try to make money at home but not everyone can do it successfully. Here are four essential things you must keep in mind to have what it takes to be a successful home-based entrepreneur:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Self-Confidence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have faith in yourself and believe that you can accomplish whatever you want. Start with thinking positively and be optimistic about what you are doing and the challenges that you face. If you yourself do not believe in what you are doing, no one will trust in your online business. The key to self-confidence is first knowing the ins and outs of your field. Be sure to research and understand what you are getting into before you start. Your knowledge will be the foundation of your self-confidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Passion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be passionate with your work. What you do doesn't exactly matter. What matters is that you appreciate it and like it enough to motivate you and keep you going. Your passion will not only allow you to be the best you can be. It will also attract others to take notice and patronize your online business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Discipline&lt;br /&gt;Working at home does not mean you can just relax and take it easy. It does, however, has its perks. There's no harm in sparing lots of time for recreation. You just have to be sure that you manage your time well and finish whatever it is you have to do. With discipline, you can run a home-based business successfully without compromising your work-life balance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Persistence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All home-based businesses go through some sort of failure, whether minor or serious. Keep in mind that the failures that you will face are unimportant. What's important is how you deal with them, learn from them, and rise from them. Each time you fail, you learn more. So charge everything to experience and avoid the same mistakes until you make your dreams a reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With these four key traits, you and your pursuit for a successful home-based business will be indestructible.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-5737149128535120099?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/5XOZxiLmR3w/four-essentials-to-succeed-as-home.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/06/four-essentials-to-succeed-as-home.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-5269790769852519279</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2009 10:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-03T04:42:58.090-07:00</atom:updated><title>Four Reasons to Earn Money Using the Internet Now</title><description>Statistics show that everyday transactions are now being made online, not to mention buying as well as selling products, goods and services. This is how huge e-commerce has become today and this is something that you can use to your advantage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are more reasons why you should use the web to earn money:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Easy and Effective Customer Service&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been said that customers are always right. However, if the person on the other side of the table thinks otherwise, this could start a big feud. That is the trouble with face-to-face customer service. Phone-based customer service is also upsetting for customers who always end up hearing that busy tone and they'll spend so much time waiting just to talk to a service personnel. This could easily fuel their disappointment towards your business. Using the internet for customer service is easier and faster and you can do it just by using electronic mail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Automated Workflow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a number of tasks you can automate using your computer as well as your internet connection. This means that your online business can function on a 24/7 time frame. With the power of e-commerce, payments and transactions can be made even when you are in a state of deep slumber. Many different automated systems can do different tasks for you so you can make money even while you sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) International Marketplace&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world is your market so you will not be restricted to the area where you reside. If you set up an online store, you can be visited by anyone from anywhere in the world. Advertising can also be done through online platforms so you will have an unlimited customer base. This also means that you can generate sales no matter what time of the day it is as one side of the world is awake while the other side sleeps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Minimal Capitalization&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having an online business means allowing to you start making money even with very little capital to start with. Much of what you need to set up an online business is free or cost-effective. As long as you have a computer and an internet connection, you have the ability to make money online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all these benefits, you will surely find money making online a breeze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Place your comment, say what you think of this&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-5269790769852519279?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/mduzsOglA8o/four-reasons-to-earn-money-using.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/06/four-reasons-to-earn-money-using.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-1321991319496273582</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2009 10:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-03T03:50:31.082-07:00</atom:updated><title>How to get 48,280 followers on Twitter</title><description>Check this out...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Derrick VanDyke just released this amazing software&lt;br /&gt;that will automatically add 1,000s of new followers&lt;br /&gt;to your Twitter account...

There are a number of factors that make the difference between simply publishing information and actually making money. If you already have a blog, read through the steps below to learn how to make money out of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 1: Posting Regular Content Updates&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your blog site must never be stagnant. Whether or not you get any feedback, it would be best to write something new on a weekly or even on a daily basis. Your readers will lose interest in visiting your blog site if they do not see any updates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 2: Pinging Your Blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pinging your blog is important because it ensures that blog directories as well as search engines will be alerted each time you update your blog. This will help you get the attention of more blog readers. Pingomatic and Pingoat are some of the available sites that supply this kind of service at no cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 3: Promoting Your Blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from pinging your blog, you need to pursue other internet marketing efforts to let your target market know that you exist and that you are a valuable source of information. As soon as you gain a steady flow of targeted traffic to your blog, you have the potential to make money out of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 4: Making Space for Advertisements&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advertising would be the primary means for you to make money out of your blog. As long as you have a good number of loyal followers and you maintain a steady flow of traffic, you have much to gain from publishing pay-per-click advertisements or even directly selling some space to advertisers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 5: Promote Affiliate Marketing Programs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This can be a very valuable means to leverage on your readership. Join affiliate marketing programs with products that your target market may be interested in. You can then use your blog to promote those products and earn commissions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By following the steps listed above, you can be more effective making money online out of your blog.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-8018394573083512149?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/UuefVpVFyxc/steps-for-monetizing-your-own-blog.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/Shqgonn0yQI/AAAAAAAAAOI/iCxVN1YGJDc/s72-c/iStock_000006087534XSmall.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/05/steps-for-monetizing-your-own-blog.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-2515202525029967736</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2009 13:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-25T06:39:47.383-07:00</atom:updated><title>Quick Money Making Ideas for Beginners</title><description>&lt;a href="http://cashcrate.com"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/ShqeofM9zoI/AAAAAAAAAOA/dpbJhzv7neg/s1600-h/cashcrate.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 81px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/ShqeofM9zoI/AAAAAAAAAOA/dpbJhzv7neg/s400/cashcrate.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339754726608981634" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am back again with another post, I would like to thank everyone who left a comment on my previous post, it was truly a pleasure reading your feed backs. As I have said before, I will always recommend a long term business model like doing SEO over online surveys, and similar money makers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why 9 out of 10 Internet Marketers Fail...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing I didn't realize is that most beginners need a quick confidence boost to help them keep going. And doing SEO to make money can be really though mentally, since it takes a longer time to reap the benefits. That is the #1 reason why most will quit. So for those who are looking to make maybe an extra $100 or $200 quickly this is for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I Recommend...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STEP 1 : Go To &lt;a href="http://cashcrate.com/"&gt;CashCrate&lt;/a&gt; and Sign Up&lt;br /&gt;STEP 2 : Feel Out 10 Offers&lt;br /&gt;STEP 3 : Get 3-5 Of Your Friends To Sign Up Under You &amp; Do The Same Thing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is that simple, yet most people reading this won't take action, Why? because they think too much and take little action. This is completely legit, I have tried it and it works. So I don't want anyone saying this is a scam or some other BS. Again, I rather you guys learn SEO, but if you really need some quick cash to boost your confidence, then you should try this out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things To Keep In Mind...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#1 - Don't Expect To Become Rich Doing This&lt;br /&gt;#2 - Use Your Real Information, otherwise you won't get paid&lt;br /&gt;#3 - Take action and really try it out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One Last Thing: Make Sure You Stay Organized, Keep Track Of All Your Offers. If you have any questions just leave a comment I will respond promptly.

Well, there are actually a lot of reputable market research and consumer companies welcome people to become their members to earn cash participating in their online survey. It is a legitimate way to make money online. Additionally, Paid survey is very popular, there are more than 100,000 people searching for paid surveys every month in Yahoo as recorded in Overture Search tool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the downsides of paid survey is that you will not know how much money you make ever month. The companies only send paid survey invitations to you if you are eligible. If you receive more surveys in the month, you'll earn more. Another problem is that most paid surveys only available to US residents, so people outside US will find hard to make money with paid survey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start Earning with Paid Survey in 3 Steps:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Step 1 - Create a new e-mail account specially for receiving paid survey invitations. You can use Yahoo, Hotmail and other free email services. This will make finding your survey invitations easier compare to using an existing email that receives plenty of mails daily. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Step 2 - Go to Yellowsurveys.com to sign up with as many online market research companies as possible. The site compiled a long list of market research companies that offer paid surveys. Sign up with the companies in "Most Popular" category first and then continue to join the rest. This can take few days of work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Step 3 - Wait for paid survey invitations send to you. It can take fews days to months to receive your first survey invitation. You shouldn't rely on paid survey as your main source of income. It can only be a way of earning extra money.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-3261056686166844255?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/_Y6fo7lTcvY/paid-survey-how-to-get-started.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/ShFghKMHeCI/AAAAAAAAANw/ckJx1UhNDZw/s72-c/images.jpeg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/05/paid-survey-how-to-get-started.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-7310812893496372338</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 May 2009 13:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-18T06:15:40.897-07:00</atom:updated><title>Five Effective Tips for Pay-Per-Click Advertising Success</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/ShFfRn-yj5I/AAAAAAAAANo/TewLEpk3vlM/s1600-h/GoogleAdwords.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 143px; height: 59px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/ShFfRn-yj5I/AAAAAAAAANo/TewLEpk3vlM/s400/GoogleAdwords.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337151789805506450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When hoping to generate lots of targeted traffic through pay-per-click advertising programs such as Google Adwords, there are things you need to do when developing your ads. Following the five tips below will help you maintain a per-per-click advertising campaign that will bring in profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Keep Your Ads Short&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure your ads are short, simple, and straight to the point as it is important to let its readers know what it is about right away. This will allow you to ensure that those who click on your ads are really those who are interested in your products or services and not just curious about what you are offering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Make Use of Your Keywords&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paying to appear in results for certain keywords is not enough. You should use those keywords in your ad's copy so that you can attract more attention. Keep in mind that when you use those keywords in your copy, they will appear in bold when published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Appeal to Emotion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't just mention what you have to offer. By describing them with emotive words, you get to strike readers' emotions and make them more interested in your offerings. For example, use "A remarkable tool to make astonishing amounts of money online fast" rather than "A tool to make money online."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Capture Attention with Your URL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your URL will be part of your ad whether you want it to or not. Make good use of it by capitalizing the first letter of each word. This will help you get better click-through rates as well. For example, "www.MakeMoneyFast.com" would capture more attention than "www.makemoneyfast.com."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Prompt Readers to Take Action&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure that your ads contain a call-to-action statement as this will tell readers what to do. For example, you may want to include statements such as "Click here now" or "Sign up here today."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By keeping the tips above in mind when developing your ads, you can be sure to maximize your click-through rates and generate as much profit as you can from the traffic that you gain through pay-per-click advertising.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-7310812893496372338?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/HxEsgOkfFg4/five-effective-tips-for-pay-per-click.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/ShFfRn-yj5I/AAAAAAAAANo/TewLEpk3vlM/s72-c/GoogleAdwords.gif" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/05/five-effective-tips-for-pay-per-click.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-2668919139916539811</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 May 2009 12:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-18T06:23:18.860-07:00</atom:updated><title>6 Ways to Make Money Blogging</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/ShFg3KzEzXI/AAAAAAAAAN4/5h_lRuvIzfw/s1600-h/images.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 114px; height: 93px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/ShFg3KzEzXI/AAAAAAAAAN4/5h_lRuvIzfw/s400/images.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337153534318398834" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Cost-Per-Click (CPC) Advertising Programs&lt;br /&gt;CPC advertising programs are the best money making programs for most of the bloggers. They are suitable to all kind of blogs with family-friendly content regardless of their traffic level and age. CPC programs work well on blog because they display contextual ads that are highly relevant to blogs content and bloggers will earn anywhere between 10 cents to 50 cents for each contextual ads click by their visitors. With proper CPC ads optimization and consistent amount of traffic, a blogger can earn a steady amount of money displaying CPC ads on his/her blog. Google AdSense is no doubt, the undisputed king of CPC advertising programs and Yahoo Publisher Network is the closest alternative of AdSense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Cost-Per-Action (CPA) Advertising Programs&lt;br /&gt;CPA programs is quite similar to CPC programs except CPA programs don't pay bloggers for each click on the CPA ads hosted by bloggers. The blogger only makes money when the visitor takes an action on the CPA advertiser website. The action can be a sign up, making a purchase, generating a lead, downloading a product and more. CPA networks pay a lot more than CPC programs, for a visitor sent by the blogger from his/her blog to a CPA advertiser website and the visitor taken an action on the advertiser site, the blogger can earn few dollar to fifty dollar depend on the niche. But CPA ads tend to work well on large traffic blogs only. AzoogleAds.com, Commission Junction and Advertising.com are some of the largest CPA networks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Promote Affiliate Programs&lt;br /&gt;Marketing affiliate programs is very common nowadays. You sign up with affiliate program of an online company, then decide whether to use the company's text link or banner ads on your blog to promote the company's products or services and earn affiliate commission when a visitor make a purchase through your affiliate link. Affiliate programs can be promoted without a website and blog too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Pay Per Post Programs&lt;br /&gt;Pay per post programs started last year. The programs pay bloggers to write a blog post about a sponsor's website. The paid blog post can be a review or an introduction on the advertiser's website, products or services. The blogger will be paid a least $5 for each sponsor post. Blogs that have massive traffic, high Google PR and large number of subscribers can charge a few hundred dollar for just writing one sponsor post. Here's are the two most popular Pay per post networks that offer this type of earning opportunities:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.reviewme.com&lt;br /&gt;www.payperpost.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The downside of pay per post is that writing too many sponsor posts that are not relevant to your blog content can seriously affect your traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Sell Text Link Ads&lt;br /&gt;Selling text links on your blog can be a great source of additional online revenue. It is not difficult to get started, just go to Text-link-ads.com to sign up an account, then decide which part of your pages you want to display paid text links, set your price and you are ready to take order. Text-link-ads.com will handle all the promotional works. Another company that offers the similar services as Text-link-ads.com is Reverselinks.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Hosting Web Poll&lt;br /&gt;Vizu Answer offers a pretty new way to monetize your blog's and website's traffic. The pays the publishers on a cost-per-thousand impression (CPM) basis for hosting targeted web poll. The money a blogger can earn from hosting poll is depending on the page views.

All articles site like en.wikipedia , ezinearticles etc sites are in top position of google for almost all keywords out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, what to write in an article and how to write:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have two options while writing articles – write your self or outsource it. There are many guys and girls who will write an article for $3 /article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to write yourself:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to ezinearticles.com&lt;br /&gt;Type your keyword in search box of the site.&lt;br /&gt;Many articles of your topic will shown up.&lt;br /&gt;Browse some articles and try to understand what to write, how to write.&lt;br /&gt;Copy some quality articles to a notepad file and make another article picking up related paragraphs of those articles.&lt;br /&gt;Add your one to two line at first and bottom of each article.&lt;br /&gt;Save the article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is for if you don’t know about the topic you want to write an article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you know about the topic on which you want to write an article , then follow these format-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article title- You must use your keyword, in your title like I used – Google payload, What Is the Insider Story; look I have used my keyword Google Payload here cleverly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article’s first paragraph: Write what you are going to say in the article concisely. Your keyword should appear in this paragraph at most 3 times and at least once.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next two paragraphs: Expand what you have said in the first paragraph. Using your keyword is good, but not very necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Closing paragraph: Summarize what you have said in the article , using your keyword in this paragraph is very necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in this way you can write out quality and unique articles very easily and within 10 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, how much articles you need? I’ll say minimum 15 , more is better. A 40 articles site is best for Google ranking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;************************************************** ********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a quick tip if you can write article-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First thing you should note that to earn a relatively good amount of money [say $40 to $50/day] through selling your writing online, you should have good knowledge of english grammar, vocabulary and spelling. [Not bad english like me, english is not my mother language] It is better if you are from USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now i'll explain about some websites which pay you for writing for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, www.AssociatedContent.com . You can earn $3 to $10 for every article considering its quality and topic of the article. The payment is to your paypal account. You can write as much as you want. Articles should be about good quality and should have about 400 words at least. Topic usually differs from lifestyles like movie , music , gadgets , fashion , cuisine , travel , historical spots etc..and financial issues like credit card , credit score , credit report , bankruptcy ,banking , saving , insurance , stocks and mutual funds etc etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, warrior Special Offer Forum www.warriorforum.com. If you can write some body cant. So they need you. In warrior special offer you can list your service for $20 listing fee [once you earn that $20 from writing on Associated Content] and offer other forum members to write for them for a price of $3 to $4 for an article. Show them 1 or 2 demo articles. If quality of your articles are good you'll get plenty of orders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY I AM TELLING YOU TO ASK ONLY $3 TO $4 FOR AN ARTICLE? Why you should give away an article for that ridiculously cheap price? Well, good question. Listen. Because you are going to earn two times for the same article. Yes, right! Look, submit the article to Associated Content before delivering it to your customer so you will earn $3 to $10 from Associated Content and $3 to $4 from the customer for the same article. HOWS THAT?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;************************************************** *********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if you want to outsource article writing- www.getafreelancer.com , www.elance.com are great.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-7696154752049580662?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/4iuRLzv5LUk/you-can-find-chapter-one-here-chapter-2.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/05/you-can-find-chapter-one-here-chapter-2.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-7315408013887655083</guid><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2009 10:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-13T03:47:53.974-07:00</atom:updated><title>स्लाप गूगल TO THE टॉप POSITION</title><description>Well, I am not going to tell you that I am guru or something like that who has always dominated top position of google for any keywords. BUT I HAVE DOMINATED GOOGLE FOR ALL THE KEYWORDS I WISHED TOO AND WITHIN RECORD TIME!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So , if you care to listen me - it will be really nice to you and satisfaction for my typing labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will post my SEO strategies accordingly in several posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, you want a top position in Google Right? When I say Top, it is always within top 5, because from my experience I’ve got it that only top 5 websites in organic listing attract all targeted and majority of the traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you can do with a top position in Google for your website?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Lots of adsense clicks.&lt;br /&gt;--lots of subscribers to your autoresponder account.&lt;br /&gt;--lots of affiliate sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I am mainly into affiliate marketing I'll emphasis on SEO related to affiliate products only. However same SEO strategies can be applied to any website for organic listing improvement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter-1: Finding Keywords.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First example- If you are going to market a product which is going to be launched very soon [Digital products offers from JVNotifyPro.com , please be careful while picking up product, every product and every marketer is not good. Picking up bad product can damage your reputation], then you have to choose these keywords as your primary keywords—&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘Product name’&lt;br /&gt;‘Product name review’&lt;br /&gt;‘Buy product name’&lt;br /&gt;‘Product name bonus’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, in case of Google Payload, I picked up-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘Google payload’&lt;br /&gt;‘Google payload bonus’&lt;br /&gt;‘Google Payload review’&lt;br /&gt;‘Buy Google Pyaload ‘&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example-2: If you are choosing other niches or other already existing affiliate program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you have to use keyword tool, to find related keywords for the niches.&lt;br /&gt;Some keywords tool-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[1] http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/&lt;br /&gt;[2] http://inventory.overture.com/d/sear...ry/suggestion/&lt;br /&gt;[3] https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These tools will give you keywords related to your niche. Please note that keywords consisting above 3 words are considered good and targeted , in fact more words your keyword phase have , better it is. For example , for online parenting keywords like ‘know what your children do online’ conversion ratio [traffic/sales] is great and look the keyword has 5 words in it and there are some affiliate program for online parenting software which you can market with this keyword.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, be selective and targeted while picking up keywords, broad keywords are bad, narrow AKA long tail keywords are great.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-7315408013887655083?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/hnwDLaBjwJg/to-position.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/05/to-position.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-1602984827981267637</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-03-13T08:56:33.064-07:00</atom:updated><title>How to Make Money Online with an Effective Article Marketing Campaign</title><description>Article marketing is one of the effective ways you can use to promote businesses and make money online. It involves submitting articles to article directories so that you can build links and drive traffic to your website and subsequently convert the traffic into income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use article marketing to promote your online business or website, you must keep in mind that the most important part of your entire article marketing campaign is your resource box. This is where you can place a short description about yourself and your online business as well as a link to your website. Without publishing a link to your online business website, your article marketing campaign will be useless in reaching your goal of making money online. However, this is not to say that you should focus your attention on what you publish in your resource box as there are also some very important elements you must keep in mind when publishing articles to make your entire article marketing campaign successful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For an article marketing campaign to be successful in driving traffic to your online business website so that you can make money online, you must be sure that every article you publish will impress your readers. Keep in mind that internet users are always hungry for information. For this reason, the articles you publish for your article marketing campaign should not just be well-written and easy to read but also interesting and informative. If you are able to catch the attention of your readers through the content that you publish, they will be more likely to click the link that is located in your resource box and allow you to make money online out of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than publishing a good number of good quality articles, you must make use of the right keywords so that search engines will index them appropriately and your target market will easily find them. Make use of a few of relevant keywords in each of your articles but be sure to use them correctly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SbqCBVHBysI/AAAAAAAAANY/DUfpo8uWvQY/s1600-h/jjhkutkiuiu.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SbqCBVHBysI/AAAAAAAAANY/DUfpo8uWvQY/s400/jjhkutkiuiu.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312701669795023554" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have already written your articles and are ready to submit them to article directories, be sure that you are familiar with the guidelines of each directory you want to make use of in your article marketing campaign. Each directory has its own rules and you must follow them so your articles will not be rejected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As long as you follow the tips above you can be sure that your online business will be able to make money out of your article marketing campaign.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-1602984827981267637?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/Mhj2-CEOD-c/how-to-make-money-online-with-effective.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SbqCBVHBysI/AAAAAAAAANY/DUfpo8uWvQY/s72-c/jjhkutkiuiu.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-make-money-online-with-effective.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-3643767060492720964</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-03-13T08:51:52.614-07:00</atom:updated><title>How Do You Earn Money Online When You Have None To Start With?</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SbqA1xvMmdI/AAAAAAAAANQ/ip7GYDZRwkU/s1600-h/iStock_000000374401XSmall.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 132px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SbqA1xvMmdI/AAAAAAAAANQ/ip7GYDZRwkU/s400/iStock_000000374401XSmall.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312700371809638866" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone knows that the best way to be successful in your chosen business is to promote it to as many people as possible. This will usually be done in the form of advertising. Either by posters, leaflets, newspapers, radio, TV or even good old 'word of mouth'. Exactly the same goes for making a success of your online business. This is no real problem to an established online marketeer. The secret is to try and reach a fresh audience who are looking for the opportunity or product that your site provides. But, what if you're just starting out and you have no money to get yourself started. What do you do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not give up. Plenty of people have been successful even when starting with nothing, it just takes a little time. In fact the only thing that you need to get started is an internet connection, computer (obviously) and some time. You also need a goal. It could be to earn just a few extra bucks each month or to provide your family income for life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step One: Building a Website&lt;br /&gt;The fact that you're reading this article shows you already have the right idea. Get yourself a website. Using your favorite search engine look for 'free blog site' or 'free website'. When you find one that you like the look of sign up and give it a try. Spend some time adding content and customizing it the way you like it. Remember that the content you add should be unique (do not duplicate or copy other sites). This will help you in the long run get a better page ranking and more visitors to your site. Once you are happy with you site you need to promote it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step Two: Getting Your Site Noticed&lt;br /&gt;Not as easy as it used to be because there are so many sites competing for attention. If you create a site, add lots of content and update it fairly often it will eventually get noticed by the search engines but this can take many months or even years. So how do you help the process along? Fortunately this needs nothing more than a little time and effort. Simply start adding articles and comments on popular websites with a link back in your signature to your website. If you wrote and submitted a new (again must be unique) article twice a week and posted it on some popular blogs you would effectively have around 100 links back to your site after 12 months. This has two major benefits. Firstly people who check out the blogs may see your article and follow your link directly and secondly the search engines will do exactly the same. When they find lots of links to your site and the number is increasing they will deduce that your site is popular and give your site a higher ranking. Even just adding a few links will start the process off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step Three: Getting Your Site to Earn Some Money&lt;br /&gt;This is where things get interesting. This essentially means selling advertising on your site. There are many articles on the web that can give specific details. The easiest to use are the 'ready made advertising campaigns' run by the big search engines and other organizations. Simply sign up and paste the code that they provide onto your site. You can also sell space directly to local businesses if you want too. If your site is interesting, has enough content and enough visitors you will soon be earning enough cash to move onto better things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step Four: Making a Living&lt;br /&gt;This is generally considered the 'ultimate goal' for many online marketeers. Many fail at this stage because there are many (I mean thousands) of 'systems' claiming to make you rich overnight. To avoid the worst of these you will need to research the companies you are interested in. The number one rule for avoiding failure is:- do not spend more than you earn. This is the whole point of your hard work up to this point. You do actually want to make money not spend it. There are no get rich schemes. Steady growth is the key to long term success. If you use your head to make any decisions and not your heart then you will not go wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusions&lt;br /&gt;There are people who read this that may say "this is too slow" or "too boring". This article was written to give some idea on how to start in this business without any startup capital. Remember there is no 'free lunch' here. All successful businesses take work. Here I am simply stating that in place of start-up capital or even an advertising budget you can succeed with time and hard work. If you do have some spare cash you can (but be very careful) accelerate the process. It is far more satisfying to build the web traffic yourself, you'll probably find it fun. Posting articles and joining forums can be addictive and you will learn more than you thought possible. Surely that can only be a good thing?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-3643767060492720964?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/SdZyf0Ua8Fc/how-do-you-earn-money-online-when-you.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SbqA1xvMmdI/AAAAAAAAANQ/ip7GYDZRwkU/s72-c/iStock_000000374401XSmall.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-do-you-earn-money-online-when-you.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-8448208991128471491</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Mar 2009 14:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-03-09T07:24:45.895-07:00</atom:updated><title>5 Quick Online Money Making Tips to Use Now</title><description>Are you looking to start a new business on the internet? There are a few things you should keep in mind as it can be confusing when you first start out. Here are a few tips to make sure your online money making efforts go smoothly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Think about the market that you want to be in. Making money on the Internet always comes down to providing a service or product that somebody needs. The real key is that you're in a market where people are spending money so you have a chance to get some of it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Consider the product that you are going to sell. Some people sell themselves and provide a service there is a need for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example building websites is something you can earn money doing for other people. There will always be a demand for websites on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solving people's problems will always give you the upper hand when it comes to the product you sell. People go online researching information for questions they have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can provide a product that answers questions you have a much better chance of turning your online money making dreams into an Internet income of your own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Create an online presence including a blog. As a matter of fact the term website and blog are now being used interchangeably because so many people are bypassing the traditional website in favor of a blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Social media has become a big part of our Internet culture and a blog gives you an excellent chance to participate in it in multiple ways. For example things you can include in your blog include articles, graphics, audio, video, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Spend the majority of your time marketing your business once you have set up. Many people make the mistake of constantly fiddling with the design of their website or blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They also make the mistake of surfing the Internet and having a good time when they really should be working. You will never make any money unless you get visitors coming to your site and purchasing something. The only way to do that is to create a strong advertising and marketing campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Focus like you have never focused before. It's very easy to get distracted on the Internet and constantly jump around from product to product. The real key to making money online is to focus on selling one product and make it profitable before taking on another one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In summary this is five quick online money making tips you should follow to ensure your own Internet business success!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-8448208991128471491?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/BQMUgsyWOMA/5-quick-online-money-making-tips-to-use.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2009/03/5-quick-online-money-making-tips-to-use.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-8553534432295474934</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-11T09:39:39.844-08:00</atom:updated><title>New Year Offer</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SUFQHe_LQII/AAAAAAAAAL4/xOPpf07kBi8/s1600-h/images.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 108px; height: 135px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SUFQHe_LQII/AAAAAAAAAL4/xOPpf07kBi8/s400/images.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278588327762280578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello everyone and welcome to my blog,&lt;br /&gt;   These are resources for internet marketing success, these includes E-books, Softwares and videos.

I think it started about a month ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The search term "make money online" is a good example to strengthen my point. If you often use this search term, you'll notice the websites listed in top 10 result fluctuate from time to time. The frequent fluctuations have lead to websites with decent number of backlinks that have stayed in first page for long period of time gradually one by one drop from top 5 to top 10 and from top 10 to top 20; and allowing more blog with frequent content update to get into top 10 listing. I have been in the niche of "make money online" for more than a year and never see it happens this way. It is obvious that Google has changed their ranking algorithm again and place more weight on content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if your website have experienced a drop in Google and you think that you have not done anything wrong. The frequency of content updating may be one of the main reasons. You may take a look at your competitors website to see whether they have started adding fresh content often. If yes, you may think about updating your site in on going basis as well. It will give you a better chance in re-gaining your Google ranking.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-7800049771773184142?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/vFU-WwBSeJ4/google-seo-tips-content-updating-is.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SPn4KZwPSYI/AAAAAAAAALs/TDTOd31c6Hw/s72-c/business.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2008/10/google-seo-tips-content-updating-is.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-8659821307448649428</guid><pubDate>Sat, 18 Oct 2008 14:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-18T07:46:17.656-07:00</atom:updated><title>My AdSense Site or Blog Doesn't Make Money: What are the Possible Reasons? - Part 2</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SPn1WMgE5ZI/AAAAAAAAALc/5QxGVXVxLeA/s1600-h/GoogleAdSense.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SPn1WMgE5ZI/AAAAAAAAALc/5QxGVXVxLeA/s400/GoogleAdSense.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258503801593456018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first potential reason why your AdSense site or blog doesn't work is because you are lacking of targeted traffic. This reason has been discussed in part 1 of this article. For those who haven't read part 1, please click here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a few more possible reasons and you will find them in this article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your web design or blog template doesn't suit for AdSense&lt;br /&gt;From my two years experience in AdSense, I found that the design of your website or blog has a lot to do with your AdSense performance. A poor designed website will of course make your AdSense performance bad, but, even with a advanced high tech website, AdSense probably still wouldn't work on it because it look too good, making the visitors don't want to leave the site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's start with the layout of your website, both two column and three column layouts can be used for AdSense. But for good performance, if you are using two columns, the sidebar should be on the left and the content section on the right. If you are using three column, the traditional three column are still the best which is both the left and and right columns are a sidebar and the middle column between the left and right is for content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your site must have a header with a compelling logo included if possible. The look and feel of your site need to be professional, clean and neat. Adding some beautiful images and photos can make thing even better, but too many can draw your visitors’ attention away from your Adsense ads. For the navigation section the sidebar of your site, I would suggest you not using buttons; instead you should use simple text links for your navigation area. Make the color of your navigation links match your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your site is displaying low content relevant Google ads frequently&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SPn2i_M2XAI/AAAAAAAAALk/hEGB9O7m7RY/s1600-h/webdesign.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SPn2i_M2XAI/AAAAAAAAALk/hEGB9O7m7RY/s400/webdesign.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258505120873077762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of the possible reasons as the AdSense ads that attract your visitors are those ads that are highly relevant to your content. One easiest way to get a quick understanding on the ad relevancy of your content pages is by visiting your site yourself. Browse every web page to see what ads show up in your AdSense units. If you still quite a number of low relevant ads show up, this might be one of the reasons pulling your AdSense revenue down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can then record down the urls of all the low relevant ads and use the Google AdSense Filter tool to stop these ads appear on your content pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another way to find these low relevant ads is by using an AdSense preview tool. What the tool can do for you is it can give a list of AdSense ads that will potentially appear on each single web page. All you need to do is entering the main keyword or urls of each of your pages into the tool. From the AdSense ads list you generated, you may find some low relevant ads that you can filter out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other possible reasons for poor AdSense performance&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You opted for image ads when generate AdSense ad code - Part of the time, image ads will show up on your content pages. This isn't help actually. Firstly image ads are proven to be low click-through rate and secondly Google seems like has far lesser image ad inventory compared with text ad inventory, so you might be getting irrelevant images showing up on your pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't place enough AdSense ad units in your content pages - A lot of web publishers put only one AdSense ad unit with their article content. But, from what I learned from the experts, we can actually have two AdSense ad units placed within an article. The first unit place on the top left of the article body content just below the article title but align with the first sentence of the body content. And another AdSense unit display on just below the end of the content. And then you may also make use of Adsense link ads. Place one AdSense link ad unit on the navigation section of each of your web pages, match it well with your navigation links and you will earn extra revenue from the AdSense link ads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Low traffic - This one you may have known it when you find you AdSense revenue little.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-8659821307448649428?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/Pj6PqsmEESw/my-adsense-site-or-blog-doesnt-make.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IfgIRpgBqEo/SPn1WMgE5ZI/AAAAAAAAALc/5QxGVXVxLeA/s72-c/GoogleAdSense.gif" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-adsense-site-or-blog-doesnt-make.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-3372479987786485397</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Oct 2008 22:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-08T15:57:33.092-07:00</atom:updated><title>Yaro Starak’s 9 Great Blog Traffic Tips</title><description>In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else’’s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that’’s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called “traction”, which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Top 9 Tips&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Write at least five major “pillar” articles. A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good “how-to” lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don”t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that’’s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger’’s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it’’s sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will likely come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at blogcarnival.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it’’s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it’’s worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it’’s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How you benefit is through what is called your “Resource Box”. You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who sees your article will also see your author biobox, and will be reffered to your website or blog...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-3372479987786485397?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/HTprSkJEGEA/yaro-staraks-10-great-blog-traffic-tips.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2008/10/yaro-staraks-10-great-blog-traffic-tips.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-8897138683443036217</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Oct 2008 21:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-05T14:58:18.467-07:00</atom:updated><title>Earning AdSense Revenue: How Many Websites to Build? - Part 1</title><description>Google AdSense is really a great money making program for webmasters. Before the existence of AdSense program. Making money online used to be very difficult. You will need to have a high quality product, possess advanced Internet marketing skills and be willing to invest a sum of money for setting up professional sale website and launching advertising different campaigns. You either make big money because of you product is selling well or make little that not even enough for covering your cost if the product doesn't sell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The launched of Google AdSense changed everything. People have more choices when thinking about making money online. They no longer have to sell products on the Internet in order to earn income online. With Google AdSense program, they can become an AdSense publisher and earn ad revenue by displaying AdSense ads on their content-based website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Basic of Google AdSense&lt;br /&gt;The concept is pretty simple. You put up a website with good content, insert your AdSense ads into your content site, and then drive targeted traffic to your website. Part of your visitors who finish reading your content will read your AdSense ad and click on it. For each ad click, you usually earn anywhere between $0.10 to $$0.60 depends on the niche of your site. Those publishers who gain large traffic have earned thousands or even ten thousands dollar of AdSense revenue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some publishers use one or two websites to make money with AdSense, some have their own networks containing a lot of websites displaying AdSense ads which make them lucrative AdSense revenue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why You Shouldn’t Focus on Many Websites&lt;br /&gt;As an individual publisher, it is always best to focus on using only one or two websites for AdSense program. While building a network of websites such as building fifteen content websites in different niches seem to be a great idea to earn money with AdSense. The idea assumes that you can generate $3 to $5 AdSense revenue from each site daily making a daily total of $45 to $75 AdSense income if you own fifteen website. But, practically it is very hard to succeed this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make AdSense works for you, each of your sites must have quality unique content. With 15 sites, it is not possible to create unique and good content for each site by you alone. Getting help from the professional writers seems to be a good solution. But those who can write quality content are often expensive to hire. You will have a lot of writer fee to pay before you earn a single dime from AdSense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another problem with this idea is the website-promotion part. To make each of the websites earns AdSense income; you must be able to drive a reasonable amount of targeted traffic to each site every day. With so many content sites you maintained, you will never have enough time and energy to generate consistent traffic to your all the sites. As you aren't staying focus, you could get tire and bored easily which end up none of the sites generate revenue for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The publishers who really make a big money with a network of websites are those who are serious about web publishing. They have a group of experts to help him/her to create unique quality content, handle web design and do AdSense optimization with sufficient financial resources to back their plan.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4275308601778000807-8897138683443036217?l=soladollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MZRZ/~3/YgvW2eNEGeA/earning-adsense-revenue-how-many.html</link><author>soladollar@yahoo.com (Olusola Bodunde)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://soladollar.blogspot.com/2008/10/earning-adsense-revenue-how-many.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275308601778000807.post-4456285745697409636</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Oct 2008 21:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-05T14:48:52.176-07:00</atom:updated><title>Tips for Internet Marketing Strategy</title><description>Internet Marketing is not simple as creating your own website and makes it popular.
