Top Ways To Make Money Online Now
By Carl on May 5, 2008
After taking my Speech Power class, I dashed to my desktop and read my emails. Suddenly, an email subscriber caught me online and instant messaged me on gTalk. He needed help he said, we conversed for bout 10 minutes.
I won’t paste his exact words here but he surely needs to make a quick buck right away. The guy has no experience online whatsoever, just a stinky ol’ job with a minimum salary.
Although I don’t really promote the “Make money now” model because internet marketing should be treated as a business and most of these techniques require a whole lotta work - there are just times where we need to start making money now.
So for bout an hour, I hunted for ways to make money online now, researched them thoroughly and collected useful links to support it.
Without further ado, here they are:
Data entry
Have an I.Q. of 60 and above? (Who doesn’t?!) Data entry is simply transcribing a different form of data into another form. For example, scanned pages of a book and handwritten letters into a Microsoft Word format.
In advanced jobs, it can be the transcribing of a different program. Be careful though, with just one mistake even a single space can cause a whole lotta errors in the program. So if you want to take the job, you have to be a patient typist and as accurate as an eagle.
Paid to click
I bet even a caveman can do this. You view a website for a certain amount of time and after that time expires, you are credited for bout $0.01-0.05 which is actually peanuts. But hey, do it for around an hour a day and you’ll get a bunch of peanuts!
And did I tell you that some paid to click sites offer second tier commissions? If you refer a friend you will be given a certain amount depending on their activity. Imagine referring 10 friends, 100 or even 1000?! That would give you a truck load of peanuts!
There are literally thousands of get paid to click sites, but the best probably is Bux.to. They’ve paid a whole lotta members ranging from two figures to even five figures! (Check their forum for success stories)
Graphic design
Do you know how to pull in heavy graphics out of thin air? Or do you have a clean and simple minimalist mind that a few are looking for?
If you eat and breathe design, why not get hired for an hour or two and do designs for people. There are loads of webmasters looking for graphic designers who pay bout $50-$100 for just a simple logo.
Most graphic designers use Adobe Photoshop - that is very costly, get Gimp. It’s free.
Coding
On the other hand, if you’re not a right brain kind of guy. Try coding.
You convert image designs of a website into a real live website. If you get the hang of it, you can make a high quality coded webpage for bout 30 minutes only. If you don’t know how to code HTML/CSS, go to HTMLdog to learn it step by step.
For a more sophisticated job. PHP, Perl, Cgi and many other programming jobs are also available on the said forums.
Writing
Probably one of the easiest way to make money online now - writing.
The biggest online company Google, what are they doing? Directing people to content right? And one kind of content aside from videos and images are written articles.
Internet marketers need content to feed Google and their visitors. Some people are just not into writing - well most webmasters are not into it really (I’m glad I am not one of them) so what they do is hire writers for $3-$5 for every 300 word article.
Don’t know the topic they are requesting? No problem! Use our friendly household tool - Google.
Buy and sell
On the early days of my online venture, I used to buy private label products (Articles, ebooks, etc.) at a very low price say $5 per package and repackage them for every specific niche. Then create a name for it, new graphics and it’s out on the market.
You can also buy and sell websites. Buy a cheap one, develop it a lil’ bit and then sell it on the same day.
Paid surveys
Tons of people are saying that it’s a big scam because it’s uber easy and has a big payout - but hey, they’ve been around for a very looong time. Why? Some do really pay.
So, are you up for sharing your personal information OR maybe sharing your fictional information? ;-)
If you want to fill out surveys, I recommend signing up for Survey Savvy or Cash Crate as they have maintained a good reputation overtime - and they have an easy smooth interface, beat that?
SEO services
One major aspect of SEO or search engine optimization is off page optimization. This can be achieved by buidling quality backlinks to a site.
Link building is not that hard when you have the formula but it does require tons of human power. One of the ways to build backlinks is by social bookmarking a site to Digg, Reddit, etc. Another is by submitting it to web directories, leaving blog comments and many other.
This is a big hit right now as loads of webmasters are looking for this service.
Video marketing
This way is out of the blue - offer video marketing services.
If you hang out on Youtube (Who doesnt?!) or other video sites, you may have watched of the phenomenal Will it blend series or maybe Kobe’s fake jump - what do they have in common? They both advertised a product!
Well you don’t have to have a blender to get millions of views, just by rapping, crying or even laughing you can too ;-)
On a serious note, power point slides and video tutorials work well too. Here’s a great example.
Transcribing
Most internet marketers sell variations of their product like say video presentation, audio presentation and text presentation to add more value and most importantly to raise the price.
However, doing so takes a whole lotta time. Imagine transcribing a one hour audio interview into a text presentation.
That’s where you come in. You can offer transcribing services on webmaster forums and charge a per minute rate. All it takes is a good ear and quick hands.
Forum posting
One of the hardest part of running a forum is at the start - your forum is dead quiet. No one is talking and no one want to start talking.
Webmasters’ solution to that is paid forum posting. This will be easy for teens especially if the forums’ topic are games, life and sports. It will be like chatting to your buddy - and being paid! What’s better than that?
Sell pictures
Got a digital camera sitting at home? If you have the artists perspective then why not try selling pictures for stock photos.
Snap pictures of your dog, room or whatever you have in your house then sell them on stock photography sites like iStockPhoto and StockExpert. Just don’t forgot to keep your privacy ;-)
Sell emails
It has been said tons of times and proved by loads of marketers - the money is in the list, and it’s good that even startup companies are paying people to visit their website via AdWords just to capture leads.
Try to do a quick search for “Web Design Las Vegas” in Google (This might not work on some countries because ads are geographically targeted, so I would suggest using a US based proxy). Did you know that the top 1-3 ads under the “Sponsored Links” are paying around $6 per click?!
So what if you make it easier for them? You capture the leads then sell it to them at a much affordable price?
Get an autoresponder, buy a private label product then give it away to related forums as an incentive to sign up to your list.
Do remember though that in your email capture form, tell them that by joining in your list, they will also be subscribed to other newsletters related to the product they are interested in.
Sell stuff!
Get up and check out your garage. If you see something worth looking at for a minute or two (Probably your dad’s old shoes, jacket or an old photo album) find a unique side that will set as a hook (Let’s say vintage shoes from the 60’s) then sell them on eBay, post an ad on Craigslist and Caching!
Brokerage
Have the guts to do some salestalk to unknown prospects? If you do, then offer brokering services. Broker domain names, websites and even partnership deals. It’s up to you on how you ask for payment - percentage or flat rate.
Best of all, no professional diplomas required, just a reputable grammar, a convincing salestalk and you’re good to go!

How To Start Blog in 15 Steps And Live A Majestic Life Out Of It
By Carl on June, 2007
First time to start a blog? Or just starting a new one? You might want should look at this checklist on how to start a blog and live a majestic life out of it. You don’t want to do my mistakes again, right?
1. Determine what you will be blogging about
Just imagine a racecar driver without a map. Of course, he’ll be lost right? It’s the same as in blogging. You don’t know what you’re blogging about, you don’t know your niche. Your blog will quickly die. So, start off by picking a niche but be sure it’s a broad one that you can blog about for years.
2. Think of a catchy, entertaining and easy to remember title
Now, invent something that makes someone curious when they see it. Make it catchy, that will make them laugh. Invent a cool brand that’ll make them blog about you.
Take this blog’s brand for example. When you see a link that says “Make Money Online” Will you click it? More likely, you’ll not because there are tons of sites that talk about make money online but if I add little twist like “Make Money Online with a 13-year old” Will you click it? ;)
3. Buy a domain name that is related to your title
AND is easy to remember! Domain names matter nowadays because there are tons of sites swarming the web. How could a person remember your domain that says makemoneyonlinewithsomethingsomething.com? So always keep it short, the shorter the better. Try hunting domains with 2-3 words.
4. Choose a blogging platform
Try considering your needs and budget. For example you just need a simple blog and you don’t have a budget for a cheap $20 web host try blogger :P It’s easier to run and can be indexed by search engines much easier but if you’re the kind of guy who needs a lot of plugins and themes. I recommend WordPress, hands down. If you’ve chosen a free hosted blogging platform, ignore step 5.
5. Find a reliable web host
Who likes to visit a site that always gives you a “sorry, can’t connect messages” Its ok at first but when it hits a reader 2 or more times it gets irritating.
You might as well find a reliable web host. Ask forums for their suggestions. Review the web host first and remember that 99.9% uptime and 99.5% uptime is a big difference!
6. Find a flexible theme and EDIT it
Your blog’s design is part of your blog’s brand. If you know a little bit of CSS and some html, try editing some cool themes or if you’re not just in to designing. You could hire someone at elance.com. Just remember to be unique.
7. Sign-up for a Web Analytics
How can you tell if you’re doing the right thing, if your marketing tactics is effective if you don’t have stats? Web analytics is very important especially on a blog. Web analytics can tell you what’s hot on your blog, what’s lame, what most people like and what’s the most useful post you got.
Another thing that’s very important about web analytics is that you can track where your visitors came. Is it Referral? - Visitors referred by other sites. Direct? – Visitors who visited your website by typing your blog’s URL in their browser and last but most importantly, Search Engine? – Visitors who found your blog through organic search. More explanations about Web Analytics >>>
8. Make a cool first post about what your blog is
Delete the old “Hello World!”. Make a cool first post about you and your blog. Nobody wants to see a lame first post and a test comment by old Mr. WordPress!
9. Think about what you’ve done
Geesh! Steps 1-9 is hard work, it’s time to recap all the things that you’ve accomplished and review it all again if you missed or forgot something behind. Ask yourself these questions first:
* Do I have a niche that I can blog about for years?
* Do I have the right website title?
* Is my domain easy to remember?
* Do I really like this blogging platform?
* Is my *hosting* reliable?
* Do I have a unique theme?
* Did I sign up for a web analytics?
* Did I make a cool first post?
* Are my answers to the above questions are yes?
If not, go back to number 1.
10. Start posting REAL content – The REAL Challenge
Right, it’s now time to research and blog about your niche. Keep your promises, research and be sure about your facts and give them the REAL content. Remember that it’s not that easy to blog like what most bloggers think. It can burn you out so be prepared!
Also, a blog is for you to share your thoughts on a specific topic. Your not CNN, don’t write like you’re writing a book for schools. Pull off some jokes, catchy tag lines or some cool sayings maybe.
11. Socialize with other bloggers
Now you got the content, it’s time to show them to other people. Start off by socializing with bloggers like you. Make friends with them but don’t give too much trust. The internet is a scam world. Don’t give personal data, passwords, or even your analytics report, but I do have one thing to suggest “Be your self”
12. Build readership
Cool! You drove hundreds of visitors to your blog in just a week! Are they coming back? Or they’re just passing by and leaving like they haven’t seen you’re blog? Regular readers are your goldmine. They’re easier to but from you and they’ll even help you when you’re down or losing! Be sure to give them special treatment. Like a linklove post for your regular readers.
Helpful Article: Don’t let them get away! Convert them into regular readers with these 5 tips!
13. Monetize!
Now, here’s your reward. It’s time to monetize! You should have the right niche, blog title, domain, blogging platform, hosting, theme and analytics program for now. You should have made your cool first post for now and posted some useful articles. You should have received a pretty decent amount of traffic and most of all you have built a couple of loyal readers.
Time to make money and live a majestic life out of your blog, but how? There are tons of ad programs out there, but we’ll go to the most trusted and scam free sites first. Check out my list:
* Google AdSense – Contextual advertising
* ReviewMe – Get paid reviewing websites. Sign up for ReviewMe
* Kontera – In text advertising! Sign up for Kontera
* Affiliates – I must say, this program made me the most money! You can find affiliate programs through Clickbank, CJ, Paydotcom, etc.
14. Blog and blog again until your blog dies
Things go up must come down! So don’t be surprised if your blog suddenly dies and gets too old. Well, at least you milked it very well through all the year.
15. When your blog dies, read carlocab.com
Don’t want to lose all your hardwork? Then read carlocab.com, You can’t be wrong on this!
14 Simple Ways To Drive Massive Traffic To your Site
By Orxan on July, 2008
You know, it is impossible to make money if you don’t drive massive traffic to your site. So I decided to talk about traffic generation strategies below. How can you increase website traffic to your site today?
Here are the massive traffic generation strategies and resources:
1. Article Distribution
Article marketing is an amazing way of getting traffic. You can benefit from article marketing in a different ways. You will get direct traffic from article directories, but your traffic will explode if ezine and website publishers publish your article on their ezines and websites.
Article marketing is a great way of getting backlinks to your site. You should add 2 or 3 links to the resource box of your articles. It is better to put at least 1 anchor link in resource box.
2. Social Networking
Social marketing is a new way of generating massive traffic. Digg, Stumble Upon and other sites are getting millions visitors each month, so you can use them to drive targeted traffic to your sites.
Social bookmarking sites are different from social news sites. In social bookmarking sites (like Delicious), you just bookmark sites, but social news sites give you a chance to network with other people. So social bookmarking sites will not bring you traffic, but they are good for getting backlinks.
You can get high traffic from social news sites because people see your site in social news sites and vote for it.
Tip: I highly recommend to read Authority Black Book to learn great social networking secrets to drive targeted traffic to your site from social news sites. You can Download it for FREE at this link=> http://contentdesk.com/cmd.php?Clk=2449944
3. Submission to Directories
Submitting your site to website directories will benefit you with getting one way links to your site which will improve its search engine rankings. If you list your site on directories such as Yahoo and Dmoz, you can get direct traffic from them, too.
4. Review
There are a lot review sites on the net. You can open account with them and start reviewing the products related with your niche. When you do it, you should refer to your URL at the end. Most review sites will allow you to add your URL there.
Best place for reviewing is Amazon.com. Create a profile there and start making reviews as an expert.
5. Press Release Distribution
It is one of the most productive, but forgotten traffic strategy. You should write press releases that would be interested for the media. If journalists like your press release, you can get the media attention and drive tremendous traffic to your site at the same time.
Read Press Release Tips at http://www.prweb.com/pressreleasetips.php
6. RSS Feed
Having RSS Feed on your blog is very important. When a visitor sign ups to your feed, he (she) will get informed each time you write a new post and will return to your blog again.
You should also submit your feed to RSS Feed directories to get more people to sign up to your feeds.

Craig’s List is the best classified ads site. Most ads on Craigslist are free. Some ads will cost you money, but it is less than you would pay to local newsletters.

Also there are ezines that accept articles. You can send your articles them and get great exposure (articles will contain your links) to your site.
Buying ads on ezines can be very effective too, but you should choose the right ezine for it. Visit http://www.bestezines.com for a free list of ezines.

Online forums are very effective for getting traffic and building authority in your niche. You should join the forums which don’t allow advertising.
Don’t spam forums with advertising and hype. Give good answers to the questions and gain the respect as an expert in your niche. Don’t forget to attach a sig file to all of your posts so members can visit your site.
12. Ebooks (freebie product)
Create your own ebook and then give it away for free. Ebook will contain your sites and programs in it which will bring you extra traffic.
