Making Money Online With CJ.com

Tags:

I must say it takes a while before you start to see some money come through with CJ, but as the saying goes once it rains it pours! Between January to early February I have made a total of $235. It’s not a huge amount, but it’s something for one out of many affiliate programs I run with. The main thing is when you publish ads to make sure you target the ads with high commissions.

Be sure to to optimize the ads as well so that they come up in good position in the search engines, that way you will get maximum benefit. Do not put your eggs all in one basket. Be sure to use a variety of ads and stick and improve using ones that work well for you.

If starting out don’t be too hard on yourself, you need to really give yourself around 6 months and set up around 10 affiliate programs before you get the best one going. Once you start earning a few hundred a month from 10 or so programs that’s when a $3000+ a month commission income is possible.

What most people tend to forget is promoting your affiliate programs as much as possible. Do not just do 1 blog post about a product and just let it set there and hope for the best. Use smart Internet marketing tactics in order to drive sales as much as possible.

Learn and keep on learning and apply. Do not sit back and think too much, just do what you think will work once you have the understanding. I know of many internet marketers that put hours a day of study but are not making cause they give up or learn too much and get a brain overload. It’s very easy to make money online once you act!

Good Luck!

Broad Vs Niche Sites

Tags:

There is clearly a big diference in putting a site together for the long term or for the short term.

Alot of the big players that develop lets say a search engine or social networking site have a huge advertising budget because they know what they are getting into which involves huge competition, even if they are innitially playing with other less popular social networks lets give an example of Facebook vs say Friendster, hi 5 etc, there is still alot of marketing needed to prove to others that lets say Facebook is better.

When it comes to one man marketers or smaller agencies investing in smaller key area sites these days they have no option other then to focus on smaller niche sites.

The divide between the two areas are getting wider and wider, as the bigger companies like Google and Microsoft have so much power that they can buy their way into almost anything. The niche sites keep pounding away harder and harder as the only thing that is on their side is endless hours of time and effort to put into their work.

High risk, high return sites can be a lot more rewarding for the long term and can even end up as a public company on the stock market and making billions of dollars, where is the short term low risk sites gain thousands of dollars and is a lot more guaranteed.

This then leaves middle men sites like forum community sites, article sites, and sites that are related to webmaster, design, seo, travel which gain profits from affiliate programs, advertising and memberships.

Other sites that quietly make profits are the sites which are involved in porn and gambling. Other niche areas such as “buy today only” schemes and other quick sale sites are slowly weeding out.

Here you can see that the top 30 alexa list contains around 15 sites that are all related to the big competitive niches such as social networking, search engines, video etc.

Long Term High Risk High Return Sites:

  • Search Engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, Baidu)
  • Social Networking (Facebook, Twitter, Myspace)
  • Blogging (Blogger.com, Wordpress)
  • Video Sites (Youtube)
  • EMail Sites (MSN)
  • Encyclopedia (Wikipedia)
  • Shopping (Amazon, Ebay)
  • File Sharing (RapidShare)

Short Term Low Risk Lower Return Sites:

  • Weight Loss
  • Stop Smoking
  • Hair Loss
  • Nokia Phones
  • iPhones
  • Wii (Nintendo)
  • PS2 (Playstation)
  • Religion
  • Politics
  • Soccer
  • Fashion
  • Auto

There is some odd successful sites and industries in between all this give and take. When Twitter became the talk of the town everyone started registering twitter domains and putting together  twitter background sites for example. Then developers started making money from facebook applications, they were and still are a great money maker. You can thrive off other popular sites success for some time also. The beauty about all this is there is always a way to make money online big or small.

Soaring From Zero To Success

Tags: , , , ,

I believe that every successful entrepreneur that ever lived is a fighter. If we lose the fight, it does not mean that we’re giving up on it, because if we are just giving up on it, we are a sore loser. The biggest test in all time to be successful is getting to the top in good times or bad. Being thick skinned is something you gain over time through lessons you have learn’t in life.

If you look at all the successful millionaires like founders of Google Larry Page, and Sergey Brin or even Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg they are all university drop-outs. Not to say you need to drop out to make it big, but you already have a big vision something that is inside, a feeling a passion, a soul that is much higher then any education.

You and your teachers are no longer connecting, so you take a risk and do what you do best. Risk taking also plays a crucial role. If you compare how many kids go to university cause they either were pushed to by their parents or wanted to just because they wanted a good career, not because they were passionate, and compare this with someone who has a driving hungry soul for what they believe in all their life you will notice that passionate people achieve long term success.

I started computers at the age of 15 because I had a passion. Where I was from, there were no real Graphic Design colleges at that age, so I thrived to teach myself from day until night.

If you want to start your SEO career, you have to start from scratch or shall we say, “Start From Zero”. SEO career is more challenging and difficult that what you have spent more than 15 years as a student who learn lessons from the bottom to the top. There were lots of things to learn here in SEO which includes link building and getting your page on the top of search results through keyword analysis.

We start things off by creating our own website or blog at WordPress or Blogger. Choose the template that fits for your niche and if you have some budget on your own, purchase a cheap web hosting program . Then if your site is already indexed with Google at least, you can start perform SEO without investing your money. If you want to make money as early as possible, join freelance programs such as oDesk and apply for some tasks and join affiliate marketing programs too. If you want to spend your money to invest for your own website or blog, you can try it through advertising.

You can buy as many ad spaces as you can, in order to earn traffic and unique visitors. Speaking of starting from zero, if we do this manually by ourselves, we can save money. But since we are using the internet in our home plus electricity, we have to pay or contribute for the expenses. You continue to do that for months until you show some signs of progress. It requires patience, because affiliate marketers are very successful through their months of patience. It’s truly possible that everyone of us will be successful starting from zero when we perform SEO at it’s best.

3 Ways To Guide Referrals in Earning Money

Tags: , , ,

There are some websites that provide referrals to earn money in certain affiliate marketing programs you have joined. Most affiliate programs you will join usually have the “refer a friend” option. But we know that most of our referrals are not serious on what they’re doing in order to earn, so it requires motivation or else they will quit. Usually they need guidance from their referrers. Here I have listed how to guide our referrals in earning money through these programs?

1. If you have referred them to join a site through the referal link on your website or blog, make sure you always leave your contact e-mail address or instant messenger ID for them to contact you aswell. Oblige them to contact you immediately along with their usernames by putting a message in your blog post or any parts of your website. This will then atleast capture their email to get there attention over regular newsletters and certain reminders.

2. Make sure that you know how the system works in any affiliate program you are associated with, so that you can teach them what you have applied right now. When you study how the system works and are totally satisfied this will show them when you suggest to them how passionate you are when explaining. Don’t refer until you know how the system works, because sometimes there is also an investment needed on their part, so the better you explain and recommend the better it will be for them to want to join. If they know the system, oblige them to do the same on what you have taught them, and let them teach it to others.

3. Motivate them regularly, showing them also how much you have earned privately or openly whatever you feel comfortable with and show them that they too can be earning just like this. When they see actual proof then this really ensures that that it is possible and will always have this pictured earning in their mind and is usually the driving force to keep them going.

These tips will gladly help you in making your referrals active, through guiding them in earning money on different make money streams around the corner. Best of all it’s going to make you potentially rich, by helping them getting richer too.

One of the best video revenue sharing program that exists right now,  You make 100% of the revenue that is generated on your video pages. I recently signed up to get in on the action, here you can see my account. But the idea is to add lots of videos to get people watching them and clicking on your ads.

It’s free to join and there is no cost for you to advertise your products and services, or to even promote CPA offers if you like. Flixya is a real attraction, and it can handle as many customers as needed. They also have honest customer support which all of the questions, suggestions, inquiries and problems being sent to them are answered and resolved if possible.


Make Money with Video Revenue using Flixya

Flixya is associated with one of the top ad revenue sharing programs in the internet right now, and I’m talking about Google Adsense. All you have to do is to include your Google publisher code in your profile and there you have it! Your Google ads are live and you can make money while they read and click your Google ads. But since there are so many members there, who post as many blogs as they want, how you are sure that you will get more page views as they are?

Blogging is one of the basis of attracting your readers, and it will potentially make you some hard cold cash! This is why Flixya has this kind of feature to allow the bloggers to taste the opportunity of making money while using Flixya, as long as the ads are running. However, if your Google Adsense account is been disabled or suspended, you have no chance to gain revenue here in Flixya, except your links that are promoted in your blog which has a chance of gaining more traffic, sales and leads on your respective CPA and other affiliate programs like NetPartner, Clickbank, Amazon, etc.

No matter if you have Google ads or not, you still make money here and become popular with the support of your CPA and other affiliate marketing programs. Flixya is one of the best programs to make money, and it’s truly recommended for everyone, even if you’re retired.

Increase Your Sales Using Twitter

Tags: , , , , ,

One of the secrets is advertisers and internet marketers are quitely making money on revenue sharing programs such as Twitter. Since it’s birth in the past few years it has been extremely popular more so in the past few months since sponsored tweets have been possible. It was one of the unique social media networks we’ve ever seen which they only ask you one thing, “What are you doing?”. We can announce on every activity in every minute that we’re doing, even celebrities are very attracted to this social median. You can tweet anywhere you want to, as long as it does not violate the rules.

Because of this, more and more webmasters and affiliate marketers think of creating new tools and advertising programs for it, what a lot of us don’t know is that we can advertise our links through different platforms, only if we shorten our links like Ad.Ly, Bit.Ly, TinyURL.com, etc. There are some programs that you can actually advertise your own CPA offer or your own business with the likes of Sponsored Tweets, Be-A-Magpie, Ad.Ly, RevTwt, Hummingbird and so on.

As a result, the more followers you have, the more your CPA offer is potential to be generated as it is one of the main secrets of affiliate marketing. There are also eBooks and Twitter follower generating programs that could help you increase your followers in no time.  The challenge is to convince followers when visiting our page to click on CPA offers or our own website or blog. Top bloggers like Shoemoney, John Chow, Jonathan Folk and Zac Johnson are experts at this and are making loads of money using Twitter, in the likes of advertising.

We use Twitter to drive more sales and traffic back to our own website, and it’s very useful. Not only you use it just for fun or being an idiot of posting useless things, but rather taking time to convert your Twitter time into business, and an investment to become a successful affiliate marketer.
