Affiliate Programs

In the days to come I will be posting sites that offer affiliate programs. The goal of this is to offer those of you who are looking to add additional income streams to your website. You will be able to peruse each site to determine if they fit your niche. Compiling such a list will no doubt be tedious, but it will serve you well over the long run as you will be exposed to opportunities you otherwise would not have found.

That said, please enjoy this type of exposure. I hope it serves you well.

Get Six Months of Advertising For One Dollar

I will advertise your site for six months for only a dollar. Send me a link to your site, that I will turn into a clickable link, and when your payment clears, I will place it on this site. This site receives approximately five hundred hits a day and growing. Not only will you be getting exposure, you'll be getting a backlink.

I will also advertise the list of links generating even more exposure. It will be a win/win situation for the both of us.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page to the contact form to send your site's url. Once I receive payment with matching email address in my PayPal account, I will post it. I will also send you a receipt of your transaction.

No objectionable material such as pornography. I reserve the right to accept or decline. Please give me 24 to 48 hours to get your link up.

If you have any questions, send me an email using the same contact form previously mentioned.

Thank you, in advance!

Do You Draw? Or Take Photos?

Here I go with a cliche... "They say that a picture is worth 1,000 words." What if it could also be worth $1,000? That would be worth more than 1,000 words indeed. Right? Just think, how long does it take you to click a button thus taking a photo? A nanosecond? That's a lot of cash for your time. But, let's be realistic. You may make 1k, you may not. But, making money from taking pictures is well worth the adventure. Especially if you love to take pictures. Now, if you love to draw and have always wanted to earn from your talent, you have a chance also. There is a website where you can actually make money taking pictures and from your drawings!

If you're my age you may remember commercials with the turtles head on it slinging this program on how to learn to draw and sell them, and so on? I think I remember seeing the same ad in magazines as well. At any rate. The internet reaches endless people. And there are companies who may very well want to use your photos or drawings. But you'll never know if you don't give it a try.

I'm not going to be long winded about this. Check out the site for yourself. If you don't think it'll work for you, at least share the link to someone who may. And if you're an affiliate marketer, jump in and this site to you list of advertisements!

Rule Number One: Don't Break Your Own Rule

Learning things the hard way is probably the best way to learn a lesson. Like putting your hand on a hot stove when you're a kid. Won't happen again. But, things don't always happen that way. For instance, the stove may look like it's off and you touch it realizing it had previously been shut off. Simply put, accidents happen. And I accidentally believed something that ended up being a flop.

There's this company out there called FourDollarClick. Typically, I look into a site it seems too good, or if it appears to be hoaky, I'll steer clear. I knew I wasn't going to get rich quick off it. But, it appeared I'd make some money from it. Not a lot, but a fair amount. Well, as it turned out, they didn't live up to what they said they would do. In fact, they closed my account. I tried to get into my page one day and said I had the wrong password. Hmm? Okay? So, I tried it again. Same thing. After a few tries, I attempted a password recovery. No response. I waited a bit and tried again to log in. Nothing. I tried another password recovery. Nothing. Oh, I forgot to say I payed for a month subscription and it was only about a week or so into it. I attempted to contact them through their contact form. No response. I figured I'd give it a day. But, again, nothing. That's when it occurred to me to search them out. I felt like an idiot. These people are bonafide scammers. My search actually began when I was trying to find their phone number. When called, it was disconnected. When attempted to email, it bounced back. Scam is an understatement.

I posted a banner on this site for them and promoted them. The banner quickly came down. It has bothered me since finding this out about them. I wrote them giving them three days to refund my money or I will be filing a case with the Federal Trade Commision.

Lesson learned. There are lots of ways to make money on the internet. Letting one bad apple shouldn't discourage anyone from pursuing an online business to make a little extra money. One must be vigilant. That's all. As a matter of fact, individuals operating online businesses from home is high. In a recent Forbes article, they state:

 It doesn’t surprise me. I’ve been noticing an increase in million dollar, one-person and home-based businesses in my reporting, on a case by case basis, so I was curious about what kind of work these solopreneurs are doing on a broader scale. (Forbes)

 It is possible to make money online. But, there is a lot of time and patience that go into it as well. I should probably be posting more often to keep it fresh. Freshness keeps people coming back for more information. And the more information one can provide can help us all. So, if anything is taken from this post, research the program first prior to jumping in head first. Even as an affiliate marketer, one must check out the company before putting up an ad. There is one thing about affiliate marketing, if you're getting ads from an already trusted source like Commision Junction, it's safe to say you're in good hands.

“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.”

― Albert Einstein

Happy blogging, folks!

Getting Paid to Write

Do you have a blog? Do you enjoy writing? How about getting paid to post? I know, it probably sounds too good to be true. But, you can really get paid to post. There is a catch, one must meet certain criterias. Social Spark offers people the opportunity to turn their words into cash. Your site must have at least 1k hits per month. This is something they check. You receive compensation for your writing depending on what your skill level is, also. You can certainly have fun doing this as you probably already are. Social Spark is looking for people who fit in that category. It doesn't matter what you write about. You can also write about products and services. They will actually give you assignments. This is because many companies who operate blogs, what people to contribute; they want fresh content.

I, unfortunately don't meet the criteria currently. Once I meet it, I will certainly be more than excited to turn words into cash. It may not make you rich overnight, but getting paid for what you love to do is definately a plus.

Click the banner at the bottom of the page to learn more, but here's a little about who they are:

SocialSpark.com is a wholly owned property of IZEA. IZEA is a world leader in social media sponsorship, operating multiple marketplaces including SponsoredTweets, SocialSpark and Staree.

Building a Website and Working From Home

More and more people are online these days. This equates to more people are going to come across something that they will find an interest in. Many of us are looking for something to help bring in a little extra money for whatever reason. Granted their are those out there who want to get rich quick. It can happen, but it's rare; but still possible. Building a website is one way to make things happen. This is becoming obvious to us all. But, how much time do we have.

Many of us have full-time jobs that keep us from really working hard on building a successful site. There are a lot of companies competing for your business to build that one site that is going to get all the attention it needs to help you to make the money you want. What do you do? Research. Right? Exactly. That takes time too. While researching you aren't writing. You're not putting content out there that people are reading and taking the suggestions that you want to pass on. And there is so much to take into take into consideration from content to optimization. You want to get high up on the list on search engines like Google. Even Google is changing it's way it rates sites. A lot of it has to do with customization. They are zeroing in on what the individual looks for and does so on a regular basis and so on. We could talk about this all day. But, at the end of the day you need a site. If you have a site that isn't doing too well or you want to build a site but don't know how, there is help out there on the web. Below I will provide a link. I suggest taking a look at it and reading through and watch some, if not all, the video testimonials. Perhaps it will ignite a fire to finally do that thing that you've been wanting to do.

The resources are out there. It takes time. In this day of micro waves and getting our Hot Pockets in two minutes just don't cut it when it comes to becoming successful on the web. We have to look at more like a slow cooker with a nice piece of brisket in it. It's going to take time for that meat to be tasty and melt in your mouth.

The greatest thing that keeps us from pursing our dreams is fear. Get over it. Turn it around on itself. Fear this: if you don't do today what you could have done yesterday, you'll never do it tomorrow. So, get to work and find the time. And know this, it will take time. Don't rush. Like the famous quote from the movie Field of Dreams, "If you build it, they will come."
