Feeling Lucky? 2008-08-22 04:39:50 ClixSense have just added another way that you can make some money.

You have a chance to win between $0.01 - $5 perday. Basically it's something similar to getting 20 free scratchcards every day Read more:Feeling

Learning from Other Blogs 2008-08-06 10:17:17 In one of my previous posts, I talked about Learning
from the Masters - in other words, from those who are highly successful at blogging and making money online.We can also learn a lot from other bloggers in general. I spend a lot of my time - as I'm still fresh to this online world - looking at other people's blogs, usually as I am Entrecard dropping on them. By the way, if you don't know what En Read more:Blogs
Become an Affiliate 2008-08-04 23:55:48 One of the main income streams for most, if not all, money-making blogs is Affiliate
Marketing. This basically means that you make a commission by selling other companies' products or services and/or refer people to join as affiliates.There are a lot of companies out there offering affiliate opportunities, and personally I feel it is too much just to fill up your blog with all, or even most of the Read more:Become
Getting Paid to Post 2008-08-01 00:17:37 Another way of making money from your blog is by being paid to write a post about a specific company, product or service.For obvious reasons, advertisers won't pay someone who has only just started blogging, and the various intermediary companies who bring together the advertisers and bloggers - or publishers, as they are referred to - usually have an approval system before you are given the oppor Read more:Getting Paid
AdSense Makes Sense 2008-07-26 09:08:25 In my previous post I mentioned Google AdSense
. This can be a regular and sometimes very good source of income for bloggers.When you put AdSense on your blog, the ads that appear are automatically related to the context of what is written on the site (Contextual Ads), to make it more likely that visitors will want to click on them and thus generate money for you.Google are very strict, however, in
Blogging for Money 2008-07-23 10:05:30 It seems that blogging is the main way to make any decent sort of money from the internet. The people that I see on the internet making money are the bloggers whose blog or blogs give them several channels of income.When I first started reading up about blogging, the first or one of the first things that everyone was saying was to blog about something you know and preferrably care about. I definit Read more:Blogging

Learning from the masters 2008-07-13 05:34:44 The word "apprentice" implies that there is a master or masters. This also applies to working online.To learn from people who have professional experience and are able to give serious and responsible advice and tips I have tried to find the best in the field. For general money-making I have found Dosh Dosh to have comprehensive and wide-ranging advice, and I use it as a constant point of reference Read more:Learning
How Many Blogs Should You Have? 2008-09-13 07:05:49 I was recently reading a post on someone's blog. I can't remember the exact words, but it was something to the effect that if you have more than one blog when you are beginning, then that's a recipe for failure.I think I would only agree with that if you don't have the time. If you have a full-time job and you blog only in your spare time, then, yes, I don't think you'll have much time to maintain Read more:Blogs

Getting Paid to Search the Internet 2008-09-28 05:34:51 I wrote a post recently about using Homepages to search the internet and getting paid. Well, to be honest, I didn't really use it that much after I signed up. But then I started thinking about it and said to myself, "Why not?"I search on the internet every day, anyway, so why not get some money while I'm doing it? I realised that the only real question is, "Is it a good search engine?"Well, I star Read more:Getting Paid

Doubling Your Entrecard Drops in Almost the Same Time 2008-09-21 01:09:43 I've recently found a way to double the number of Entrecards I drop on in the same amount of time. This is not just by having a list of the sites with Entrecard that open quickly and dropping on them every day.What I do is that I go to my Drops
Inbox and click on a site there, then when it is open I drop on their card and then click on the site that is advertised on their EC widget. I close the fi Read more:Almost

Superimposing One Image On Another 2008-11-14 05:43:42 I wanted to create an image for my post Money, Money Everywhere And Not A Cent To Spend over at my other blog Corfu Chronicles. The idea I had in my head was to have a picture of lots of banknotes falling through the air and an image superimposed at the bottom of someone who was obviously poor.Well, I'm neither technically nor creatively inclined (to say the least!) so I found two pieces of free c Read more:Image
