Clickbank Predators – Affiliate marketing in 18 easy clicks!

AdminP — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 19:19:38 +0000

We probably get a hundred or so emails every week from people trying to sell us or get us to promote some program or the other. The good ones we tell you about (Blog Success & Affilorama ), but most of the time we delete and dismiss them. However, once in a while – like the two aforementioned programs – a new program comes along that is innovative and makes sense. Such is the case with Clickbank Predators.

If you’ve been reading our blog regularly, you already know that ClickBank is one of the best ways to earn money on the Internet. ClickBank Predators has made being a ClickBank affiliate easy. They have created a program that allows you to put up ClickBank products (or any other affiliate product) on your own pages – all done by a click of the mouse. Eighteen clicks to be exact.

This program is automated – and according to Chris and Jerome – you can have your first site up in about 15 minutes.

Sounds almost too good to be true right? All ‘legit’. There are no ‘black hat tricks’ used – all on the up and up.

Won’t everyone else be doing this? Won’t there be competition? Of course, life is full of competition. But the early bird gets the worm – so don’t delay. If you’re looking for a simple way to earn a few extra bucks, this program might just be exactly what you’ve been looking and waiting for. This program just went live this week – so you can be one of the first ones to take advantage of it before it hits mainstream.

Still not sure this program is for you …… What if I don’t like it after I’ve purchased it? What if it doesn’t work for me? What if I simple change my mind?

Not a problem. You can try this program RISK FREE for 60 days!

Yes, risk free for a whole 60 days. If you purchse the program and find you’re not making money in those 60 days … all you do is request a money-back refund. No questions asked. What could be simpler?

So, if you would like to be in Affiliate Marketing but HTML, CGI, JAVA and the like are not to your liking - give ClickBank Predators a try.

4 Ways to Make Money on the Internet

AdminP — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:46:58 +0000

I think I can safely say there isn’t anyone out there who would turn down money . . . $5.00, $20 or $100 or more. Hey, even a $1.00 a day adds up!

Niche Marketing

For those wanting to earn extra money on the Internet, we’ve discussed Affilorama, ie., niche marketing, and how you can use other people’s products either through Click Bank or your own product to generate income. This can be accomplished as a free standing website or as a Word Press blog.

Ad Sense

We’ve also discussed using AdSense on websites and blogs to earn money via pay-per-click (PPC). Ads can target either content or search keywords.

Blogging

Another option is to have a true blog site that you can monetized. There are several ways to do this and the following topics are a few ideas to consider for a blog . . .

Something you are passionate about – maybe you collect stamps, or love gardening
Something about which you possess expert knowledge that others would find helpful
Something you can teach others about, i.e., how-to’s
Something that is service oriented, i.e., job search, home repair projects, etc.

However, simply throwing up a blog is not enough. Not only must you know how to correctly put a blog together but also know how to drive traffic. Blog Success is an excellent program for those wanting to earn money with a blog. Blog Success is spear headed by Jack Humphrey and we can personally attest to the professionalism of how Jack runs his business – as we have made good use of his services . Take a look to see how <">Blog Success can work for you.

Traditional Sales

Selling goods on the Internet has been around for a long time. I don’t know of anyone not familiar with Ebay. However, if you’ve got something to sell and want to try your hand at selling without having any associated costs -take a look at the following classified ad sites:

These sites offer free listings where you can sell various items or place other listings for just about anything.

Should you decide to sell items via a classified ad, here are seven things to take into consideration:

Always give accurate information about the item, note any thing the buyer may consider a negative
If allowed, upload a picture of the item
List the price and let viewer’s know if you are negotiable
If shipping is required, note if shipping/handling/insurance charges are included or will be added on
Make a note if state sales taxes will be collected and how much
Give a contact phone number. Make it even easier for your buyers or clients by getting an inexpensive ’800′ number from Kall 8
Advise payment options, i.e., PayPal, Personal Check, Money Order
Do not ship/deliver the item until you have been paid in full (allow personal checks to clear before shipping item)

Opportunities for making money on the Internet are almost unlimited. All you have to do is decide which direction you want to take. Check back next time when we’ll discuss how to use Facebook to grow your business.

3 Ways to Place AdSense in a Blog

AdminP — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 21:26:03 +0000

You already know you can make money from having AdSense ads on your website and blog. And, while placing ads within a website page is pretty easy – just copy and paste the code – putting AdSense ads in a blog is a little different and some may even find it confusing.

Here are three ways you can put AdSense (and other ads) within a blog.

Place the ad in an individual post
Place the ad in a Text Widget
Place the ad in a Plug-in

How to place an AdSense ad within the individual post

This can easily be done once you’ve logged into your account , set up the ad and generated the code. You are now ready to copy and paste the ad code directly into the individual post where you want the ad to show. It should be noted that you must use the HTML screen to do this. If you paste the code in using the ‘Visual’ screen, it will appear just like it is – WYSIWYG – ‘what you see is what you get’. By doing this you will be showing every line of the ad code as well as exposing your merchant number!

If you choose to show ads on individual posts, you should be aware that you will still need to follow the Google guidelines regarding the number of ads allowed per page. If you are not sure of these limits, take time to read the AdSense guidelines.

For example: You’ve elected to have 10 full posts shown on your blog’s home page – if you were to place 1 AdSense ad per post, this would equate to 10 ads, causing you to go well beyond the total number of ads Google allows per ‘page’. Even though they are 10 separate posts, the fact that they can all be seen and accessed from the same ’1 page’ results in their being considered part of ‘one page’. If you had any AdSense ads in the sidebars, these would also need to be taken into consideration.

How to place an AdSense ad within a text widget

This is another way to display AdSense if you want them in one of the sidebars. In order to do this you must first place a Text Widget where you want the ad to show. This is done by going to the ‘Appearance‘ section of the blog Dashboard and opening the Widgets page. Once there you can select the Text widget from the list of available widgets and then drag it where you want it. (Note: The sidebar where you want to drag the Text widget must be open.) Once you have it in the sidebar of choice, you can move it up or down to change its placement if there are other widgets already there.

OK, you’ve got the Text widget in place, now you’re ready to put the AdSense code into it. To do this follow the same procedure for generating an ad. Copy the code and paste it into the open Text Widget. My preference is to place the code inside of some HTML code, specifically the

tag. I have found that sometimes the AdSense will work without it, and sometimes it won’t. So, I prefer to go ahead and put the code in. When using the

tags, the complete AdSense ad would look like:

AdSense code here

Once you have completed placing the code in the widget, select Save and then Close.

For more information on widgets see Word Press Settings or Plug-ins and Widgets: Whats the Difference?

How to place an AdSense ad within a Word Press Plug-in

This is probably the best way to display AdSense ads. Not only will this plug-in manage your ads but also will rotate them and limit the number of ads displayed to meet the guidelines. It also recognizes many of the other ad networks including-

Widget Bucks . . . and you can use unsupported ad networks too.

Some features of this plug-in are:

Import ad code automatically
Widgets and sidebar modules compatible
Automatic limiting of ad display to meet network terms and conditions

This plug-in can be downloaded at this link – http://code.openx.org/projects/show/advertising-manager . Once there you’ll also find other helpful information and a forum should you have any questions or need help.

Making Money with Google’s AdSense

AdminP — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:42:24 +0000

For those that may not be familiar with AdSense . . . AdSense is a program that pays you for displaying ‘targeted’ Google ads on your site. These ads can be customize to match the mood and feel of the site, or seamlessly blend into the site’s look. Success and activity can be tracked through various methods one of which is ‘channels’. Since Google maintains the advertisers ‘pool’, the publisher (site owner) never has to negotiate any advertising rates and best of all – signing up for an AdSense account is free.

Of all the ways to monetize a website, Google’s AdSense is probably the most recognized. If you currently have a website but are not using AdSense as a method to earn revenue online, you may want to consider doing so. Here are a brief overview and a few tips to introduce you to the program.

Three Basic Step$ to Making Money with AdSense

Once you have made application and been accepted . . .

You decide where to show the ads on your website
Google then displays relevant ads based on various factors including content, demographics and/or location
You get paid based on your choice of offered payment options (a benchmark amount must first be reached)

AdSense Isn’t Just for Websites

Ads can be placed on mobile webpages, RSS feeds, parked domains, site search and blogs. In addition to having a choice of where to display ads, you can also choose how the ads appear. You have options to:

Select different sizes of ads
Select colors to match site
Create color-palettes to save for future use
Select presentation of ads, i.e., text, image or both
Choose font, corner style
How an ad’s space will be filled if an ad is not shown (color, PSA or other non-Google ad – recommended)
Set up channels for tracking your ad’s success
Name your ads for easy recognition
Manage your ads regarding channels, editing, and hiding

Note: Google AdSense ads are not deleted but rather are ‘hidden’ through a function on the ‘dashboard’.

Tracking Your Success

There are detailed reports to help you track your ‘clicks’ and improve your performance. You can watch earnings by day, date range, page, domain, ad unit, clicks and more. Google Analytical Reports offer an even more detailed breakdown of your earnings.

This is a very basic overview of what Google AdSense represents. If you would like more information on Google AdSense or would like to make application for an account, click here to take a tour.
