Seven To Ten

We are constantly reminded about having solid, rich content. It is said to be one of best tools to make money online.

Having a content-rich website is a must when it comes to online revenue from the web these days; if you don’t have useful content on your site you don’t stand a chance. And the extra money is handy.

Creating rich content for your website is what matters. Fanciful graphics and colorful pictures are great, but rich content that gets traffic is key to the success of any website out there.

I will try to make my content as rich as possible and hope for the best.

This is another method of making money online which I am trying. Actually, many advertisers are willing to pay us for reading their ads and viewing their websites. As such, there are many PTR and PTC websites around.

PTR stands for Paid To Read and PTC stands for Paid To Click. After you sign up for an account in one of those websites, they will send you e-mailed ads or you will be able to click on ads at their website.

Either way you must click on links, in order to get paid. Usually those links lead you to pages that have timers of 10-30 seconds. Your account is credited once the timer expires. Membership to those websites is FREE and it is very easy and fun for anyone to participate and make some money.

PPC SEs stands for Pay Per Click Search Engines. In Pay Per Click Search Engines, advertisers pay only for the click through to their site. In order to make money, you need to send them traffic.

The problem is that many sites which disappear and then appear with a different name, it is important to differentiate the honest sites from the scams.

Yesterday, I posted on the possibility of real income from paid surveys but to be frank, it is not easy. I have signed up for a few survey sites and suffice to say, I am far from even my first $100. Here is a list of the paid survey sites available.

1. Brands Institute

2. Harris Poll Online

3. Ciao Shopping Intelligence

4. American Consumer Opinion

5. MySurveyAsia

6. NPD Online Research

7. Global Test Market

8. EPoll

9. Light Speed Panel

10. Your Say

How important is our website in the affiliate business? According to experts, it can make or break us. From day one, we should plan how your site is going to be, from domain name to the design, the lay-out, the content, and ads. Obviously, I have not been doing it…yet.

At first glance, the user must like what they see and if they find it ugly, they won’t read the content even if it is very interesting or informative. But of course, content is important.

Selecting a top level domain name is also crucial to the success of the affiliate program. Lots of affiliate sites don’t appear in the search engine results because they are deemed by affiliate managers as personal sites.Major search engines and directories would think of your site as transient ones and thus, they won’t list it in the directory. Before you decide on the domain name, know first what you are going to promote.

Many fail because their sites are not appropriately named, so even when they feature the exact products the customer is looking for, the customer might think the site is not relevant and thus, won’t enter the site.

Are there any real income from survey sites? From what I have seen, there are legitimate sites that send you surveys every month to take and the rewards can range between $5 to $50 for one survey.

If you get selected for a focus group, even better, you can pocket $200 to $300 per study, but the requirements will be more stringent and it may be spaced over several days or weeks.

Most other surveys are for points and discounts. If you continue to get good surveys every day, it is possible to make a few hundred dollars a month. It is not a get rich quick scheme though.

Main thing is not to pay for the list. of sites that give surveys. This info is available for free.

Compared to traditional advertising practices, affiliate programs are more effective, risk-free and cost-efficient. But why do many people still fail in affiliate marketing?

There are a lot of reasons and a lot of areas in the program to look into. The most critical aspect in the affiliate program is promotion and advertising. Many affiliate marketers fail in this aspect because they lack hard work, which is the most important thing in affiliate marketing and in all other kinds of business as well.

Although it pays to be lucky, you cannot merely rely on it. Affiliate marketing isn’t as simple as directing customers to the business site. If you want to earn big, of course, you have to invest time and great amount of hard work in promoting the products.

As earlier mentioned, the competition is very high and customers nowadays are very wise, too. After all, who doesn’t want to get the best purchase—that is, to pay less and get more in terms of quantity and quality.

A lot of people are lured into affiliate marketing and you might be one of them. Indeed, affiliate marketing is one of the most effective means of generating a full-time income through the Internet.

It’s a fair deal between the merchandiser and his affiliates as both benefit from each sale materialized. Like in other kinds of business, a great deal of the profits in affiliate marketing depends on the affiliate’s advertising, promoting and selling strategies.

Researching online programs can be a risky business. It seems that no matter which way I turn, there are contradictory advice or making money opportunities best described as scams.

These programs offer very little, if anything, in return. Unfortunately, for newbies like me or those who are desperate or greedy, we can be lured by the beautiful promises and waste our time and money.

They become discouraged and in turn give up their dreams of online income after joining a “good” program but it falls short of expectations in terms of reward and support.

“Too good to be true” and it often is.

Getting into the Paid to Read business is risky. There are many viruses and spyware which can be hidden into the websites. What will you do when your computer goes down?

That used to be a problem for me as well. One of my friend recommend that I use a network and everything can be backed up onto a second PC. So if my main PC goes down, I will always have my backup and life goes on.

The key is to make sure you do daily backups and have them transferred to the second PC. Or use backup software with an external hard disk. Also don’t forget to backup your websites and blog databases. This is important if your livelihood depends on the internet.

Our family go on excursions on some weekends and the little items we buy can exceed our budget easily. We save money by packing our lunches. We also save money by bringing our own water bottles.

Bottled water is expensive and a lot of waste is created if we don’t recycle. To save money, we fill the bottles with our filtered tap water when we go out these days.
