Making Money From Scratch | Update

So far so good. My earnings are increasing daily. I am making money with paid to click sites, adsense, affiliate programs, and various other passive investments. The passive investments were made from my earnings with free programs.


Paid to Click Sites
My best performer is still Neobux. The website is never down, it's very easy to navigate, and they are consistent with their ads. You usually get 4 or 5 per day. I really like renting referrals. It's an investment but you can recycle the referrals that are not doing any clicking for you. This has to be done the first week or you are stuck with them for a whole 30 days. I have some direct referrals that are not doing as well. I would say almost half of them are not clicking at all. I'm stuck with them. I am not complaining though because I am doing better with Neobux than I ever expected.

My other good programs are Clixsense and Bux.gs. I am doing well with both programs and I have never had a problem with them. The payouts are higher with these two so you have to get the referrals to get to that payout quicker. The only drawback with Clixsense is that some days they will have only 1 or 2 clicks for me.....a couple of days I had 0, which makes getting referrals all the more important. Bux.gs is about the same as Neobux with respect to the amount of ads per day. It's usually 5 or 6 that you can click on.

Folks, the key with all these programs, especially free ones, is referrals. I know I have said it before, but to make it worth your while you have to get them. It makes making money online a whole lot easier. Start up a blog, tell your friends, do whatever you need to do to get a few referrals to so you can fill up your Paypal account with cash.


Affiliate Programs
I am doing better and better with affiliate programs. You will make more money with these if you can get the hang of promoting them. These cost no money to join and all you have to do is market them to make the money. I think these programs take some time, it took me quite a while to figure out what I needed to do to market them and make some profits. Some of the programs I am involved with I have been a member of since 2007. So sometimes it takes a while.

Adsense
My adsense numbers are getting better and better as the weeks go by. I have learned a lot about adsense in the past few months and the work is paying off. There are some great places to go on the net for real FREE information about adsense and making money online in general. My advice is to get on the big G and do a search for "making money online". There will be a guy named Grizzly on one of the first few results. Click on him and you will be amazed at the great information that he and his friends provide. Actually I think he is ranked number one for that term.

Making Money From Scratch | Affiliate Sales Tips

If you are in an affiliate program and you‘re getting up some good content and getting links for your sites, what would you want to do next? Of course it’s make money…more and more of it.

Here are a few ideas on how to boost your affiliate program commissions overnight.

First, find good programs and products to promote. Obviously, the better performing products will enable you to make the most money in the shortest time.

There are some factors to consider in when choosing your affiliate program. Choose programs or products that have a good commission structure. Have products that fit your niche. Test the program and see if you can make some money, if you can’t increase your earnings, move your focus from that program and look for a better one.

There are thousands of affiliate programs online. You can find them at Click bank , which offers products. Then you have places like COMMISSION JUNCTION that offers some of the major affiliate programs. Lastly, of course, individual sites sometimes offer their own program. Try and find the best programs to avoid losing your advertising dollars.

To be able to distinguish yourself from other affiliates that may be promoting the same program as you, offer good information on your sites or in your articles for free. The higher the perceived value your site has, the more loyalty it will bring, and it turn, hopefully more sales.


Second, collect and save the email addresses of those who frequent your sites and download any free information you have. It is widely known that people do not make a purchase the first time. It may take several articles or pitches to make a sale. Making follow-ups with your email lists will keep your products fresh in their mind and entice them to buy from you.


You could also publish an online newsletter and send it out to your email list. Building a relationship with your visitors enhances trust. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. People feel more comfortable spending their money with someone they know and respect.

The key with this type of affiliate marketing is to combine good information with your sales pitches. If you write informative posts and newsletters, you will be able to build the idea that you are truly wanting to be helpful to them, while at the same time making money. If you try to pitch them in every post or email, they will see you strictly as a salesman.

Lastly, try to negotiate a higher commission from your merchants. This will only work if you are really successful with a particular site or product.

If your numbers are good, the merchant will want to keep you on board to keep the money coming in. The merchant has nothing to gain by saying no and losing your business. That being said, don’t be a jerk about it, be reasonable.

Try out these 3 tips and see if it will increase the size of your commission checks in no time!

Making Money With Affiliate Programs

There are several ways to make money online. It is best not to focus just on one system to make money. What happens if you are making all kinds of money with ad sense then the big G decides to cut you off. It has happened before. The best thing to do is have multiple streams of income. That way if something happens you’re not completely destroyed.

One way is with affiliate programs. Here are some tips to finding a good program to promote and hopefully create another stream of income.


Finding Good Affiliate Programs

The key with finding good affiliate programs is to do your research. Any good program will have tons of reviews on the internet, so you will get all the feedback you need to make a good decision on the affiliate program

If an affiliate program asks for money to join, forget it. Most good affiliate programs on the market these days cost nothing to join.

Check on commission payouts. Every affiliate program is different. Some pay out once per month, others pay weekly, or by the sale. Just decide on your payment of choice. Some programs require a minimum amount before you get the commission for your sales.

Keep track of the clicks to your program and see how many clicks it takes to make a sale. You may be a bit discouraged in the beginning, but once your traffic grows, your sales will happen at a higher frequency.

Keep track of all your stats. Your affiliate program should offer detailed stats. You should also have your other website stat services to help you with these stats.

Know if your affiliate program is a good, trustworthy company. Know about their stats as well, if that’s possible. A company or program’s reputation is important. That reputation could help in making sales on a consistent basis.

Do you get paid for more than one tier? A one tier program gives you payouts for the sales you have made. Some programs pay you for your business, plus it gives you a commission on the on the sales made by people you have sponsored into the program.

How much money do you make on each sale? Amounts will vary widely with the various programs. Just pick a program you are comfortable with, a program that looks like it offers products that you yourself would purchase. That will make it easier for you to feel confident in recommending the product.

Make Money with Jetspinner

I recently found an article spinning program through a well respected "make money online" blogger. If this guy recommends it then I will certainly give it a try.

The program is called Jetspinner. I checked some marketing forums and it seems that it is a legit product. The best thing about Jetspinner is that its FREE.

They do have an article submitter program that will submit your articles for you, but it does have a price. So, you can sign up for FREE and get your articles spun and submit them to various sites yourself, or you can pay for the auto submitter program and save yourself some time.

I am planning on giving Jetspinner a test run to see how it performs first.

Making Money with Paid to Click Update

Neobux still remains my best paid to click(PTC) program at the moment. I have started getting more direct referrals which is a big plus to help get my overall referral numbers up. Renting referrals is good but obviously having direct referrals is the preferred route to take....you don't pay for them!

Along with Neobux, Clixsense and Bux.gs are my favorite paid to click programs. Palmbux is doing better for me. A program that I do not like is Bomblogic. I have stopped using this program altogether.

to recap, my top performing PTC programs are:



Clixsense

Bux.gs

Palmbux


The payouts are a little higher with clixsense and bux.gs, but I still like the programs a lot.
