Sharecash

2011-10-06T18:45:00.000-07:00

Sharecash is amazing site that makes me a lot of profit. It's uploading service like rapidshare and fileserve, but here you have some surveys, so it's very hard to find a men who will download it, but for one download you can earn 0.20 - 0.80 dollars and it's very nice money!

To be able to earn a nice amount of money you need to have a solid upload connection or things could get really mundane. Some knowledge of SEO is also important. There's nothing more frustrating as having uploaded popular files without any downloads. If you're unfamiliar with SEO please read Dan Thies' :SEO Fast Start: A Simple, Step by Step System For Better Results It is truly the best free ebook on SEO optimization around on the internet. There is no better free alternative.

While ShareCash is a 'holy gift' for some, others however consider it to be a complete nuisance. An evenly growing amount of webmasters are trying to keep ShareCash links out of their forums and websites as the uploaders spam their sites hoping for downloads. This, I believe is not the correct method. Making sure your uploads are of decent quality not only makes you keep your dignity, it also broadens the path of link exposure possibilities and downloads coming along.

If you were planning on bypassing the survey system, don't! Through experience they've closed almost all holes. If you're caught trying to bypass the survey system your IP will be banned which means that you won't be able to earn from ShareCash anymore.

Since a short time it is possible to use the viral system. This is said to increase the amount of downloads dramatically. I do not have experience with it but I know for sure that a little bit of thinking from your side does wonders for your income. ;-)

Don't let it disturb you. People will fill out those surveys if they want your content! My earnings and those of others prove this!

A while ago ShareCash was under siege by 4chan as a reaction to the recent spamming activities there. Those posts mainly contained jailbait ( half-naked girls under 18) to the annoyance of the so called 'oldfags', as a result they started bruteforcing the login script which caused the ShareCash admin to take the server down as a prevention measurement. Reportedly the server was unharmed and safety measures were taken along with an agreement with 4chan's owner Moot.

Then there were the payment problem which have fortunately been solved professionally. In October and November 2009 member's revenue had risen so quickly that the money saved up by the admin ran dry. Subsequently a switch from net 0 payments to net 15 was made, a limited amount of people were able to sign up for the net 0 payments, the majority of people had to wait for the net 15 payments. As means of compensation everybody choosing net 15 received a 5% bonus or a free month premium.

Since then no major problems have been reported. A good sign.

Fileserve

2011-10-06T18:38:00.000-07:00

As it has already been stated, Fileserve.com is free file hosting service and can be used for both earning money from home and storing any files and documents. The capability of uploading up to 1024MB files makes this a killer deal. Every member, who signed up with Fileserve.com is able to spread download links (assuming you have already uploaded some stuff) and receive money for every downloadeddocument. Apart from this, there are various publisher tools, including remote upload, free FPT access, up to date statistics and other nice things, which make earning money easier.

As a registered member and affiliate at Fileserve, you can receive up to 25$ per 1000 document downloads, which is a great deal (I don’t remember other websites with such high rates, as far as I remember, you can earn good money by uploading to DepositFiles.com, but there are some terms to apply too). Here your price per download depends on two main factors – country of the downloader (but users do get paid for all downloads) and file size. Take a look at quick earnings table:

Don’t want to load you with all that information, which could be found on Fileserve’s website, I will just tell you that website looks pretty nice and paid to upload rates get very good, if you compare with other websites I have been writing before. As for the referral revenue program, you will get 25% of the money all your referrals earn, which is pretty nice. Assuming that you can manage to refer 10 friends of yours, who will be making 50 dollars a month sharing files. This means that you will get an automated income of 125 dollars.

Microstock

2011-10-06T18:18:00.000-07:00

Microstock photography, also known as micropayment photography, is a part of the stock photography industry. What defines a company as a microstock photography company is that they (1) source their images almost exclusively via the Internet, (2) do so from a wider range of photographers than the traditional stock agencies (including a willingness to accept images from "amateurs" and hobbyists), and (3) sell their images at a very low rate (anywhere from $.20 - $10) for a royalty-free (RF) image.

A number of microstock sites also sell vector art, and some sell Flash animations and video as well as images.

Here is the list:

Istockphoto - One of the best sites, but they have some tests you have to past first...

Fotolia - They are great for beginners, no tests...

123.rf - They're not bad

Dreamstime - Very good Agency

Shutterstock - One of the best, but they have very hard tests too

Google AdSense

2011-10-06T17:13:00.000-07:00

AdSense is a nice way to monetize your traffic, and it's very easy to implement. It's one of my top earners and has been since 2003. (See the video about my earnings below.)

Untold Facts About AdSense you need to know in order to succeed with the program!

Yes, the money can be great, but if you don't learn how to build a site that attracts targeted traffic then you won't make much from AdSense.

Don't pay a cent for these "Get Rich Quick" books on AdSense. Many of them are all hype. Learn all you need to know for free.

What is AdSense?

Google.com earns most of its revenue by allowing other website owners to advertise on their search result pages. All this is managed through a program they call AdWords.

Now you can earn a share of the revenue that Google earns from AdWords by displaying these same text ads on your site. In other words, you're helping Google advertise and they pay you a percentage (roughly 60%) of what they earn.

This program is called AdSense.

Every website owner should at least consider the program. Even if your site is just for information purposes, you can still participate and make decent money with AdSense -- or at least enough to fund your website.

So if you are one of those people that doesn't like the idea of paying for a site, this is an excellent way to earn your money back and then some.

How AdSense Works

Don't like to read a lot of text? Watch my 4-minute video on how AdSense works.

How Much Can You Earn With AdSense?

The commission you receive per click depends on how much advertisers are paying Google for the particular ad. You will earn a share of that amount. I've heard of earnings anywhere from 2 cents to $15 per click.

So it is logical to believe that keyword phrases like debt free, employment, make money,mp3, sex, etc. may earn you more per click since these are highly competitive keywords that are searched for quite a bit on the web.

Advertisers generally pay more for popular terms because they are searched for more.

Even though Google will not reveal how much you are earning for each ad that is clicked from your site, you can still login to your account at any time and see the total amount of revenue you've generated that day, week, month, year, etc.

For example, if you see that you've made $12.60 today from 9 clicks then you can calculate that your average click-thru commission was $1.40 per click. That's as detailed as their stats will get. Also remember, that's only an average. You won't know how much each specific ad brought in.

The amount you'll earn also depends largely on the amount of targeted traffic you receive to your own site, how well the ads match your audience's interests, the placement of the ads on your pages, and of course the amount you receive per click.

Ideally, you should create a site on a topic you know a lot about. That way you'll have a much easier time creating a generous amount of content on that subject.

Creating Your Website for AdSense

Before you even begin your site, make sure you've come up with a topic that you feel you know plenty about. That way it will be easiest to write a lot of content.

The more content you have, the better chance you have getting accepted into the program. Also, the more content, the greater the earning potential. AdSense is nothing but a numbers game. If you want to make a lot of money, prepare to write a lot of content and learn how to market your site.

Now let's talk about building your website. There are two ways you can approach this:

1) Do it Yourself (DIY) from scratch

2) Use Site Build It! (SBI!)

The Do It Yourself Method

I've actually used both methods for building my site and there are advantages and disadvantages to both.

If you use the DIY method, you will have to go and register a domain name (yoursite.com) and then sign up for a web host and build your pages.

Decide if you want a static website like this or a blog. If you don't know the difference, this article will help you out.

Averaging between $3 and $10 per month, the DIY method is usually the most cost friendly of the two but you are mostly on your own in terms of learning how to create your web pages and adding the AdSense code to your site.

Web hosts are generally there to house your site. They don't specialize in helping you market and optimize your site for the search engines to help you get traffic. So don't expect a lot from them in terms of helping you market your site and making money with Google AdSense.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. I had to learn how to build this site on my own and it wasn't very difficult.

I now manage all of my static sites with Dreamweaver. My blogs use WordPress.

Use Site Build It! - A Web Host Made for AdSense

This is a revolutionary web host like no other. I use it for my site, flat-stomach-exercises.com, and after only 11 months the site was earning over $700 per month for AdSense alone.

Two years after launch, the total monthly earnings shot up to $2,000 to $2,500.

Today, the site continues to earn money from AdSense yet I have no products to sell. I'm simply offering information on a topic I know a lot about and SBI showed me how to rank high in the search engines for various keyword phrases. Over 90% of traffic comes from the free search engines.

The reason SBI! is different from the other do-it-yourself hosts is that first it provides all the web page building and marketing help all in one place. Your domain registration, web hosting and marketing help come with the price..

Successful SBI Websites

Be sure to also take a peek at all the successful SBI websites created by mostly beginners who have never created a site before. Every site listed on this page is in the top 3% in terms of amount of traffic received on the web - thanks to the SBI search engine help.

Find out why I think SBI! is best for AdSense.

How to Join AdSense

Once you have 10-15 pages on your site, go to http://adsense.google.com to apply.

When you are accepted, simply copy and paste the provided HTML code into any page that you'd like to show the ads. If you've done a good job of defining the content on your web pages, the ads that show should be relevant to the content of your page...increasing the chances of click-thrus by your visitors.

You can either display the ads vertically along side the page like Google does or in a banner-like formation horizontally across your pages. The placement is up to you. You can even customize the colors to match your site's theme.

Tips on Succeeding With AdSense

Here are some tips for achieving success with Google AdSense.

1. Build Traffic

AdSense is all about targeted traffic. The more people you have on your site that are actually interested in what you have to offer, the more you will potentially make.

Learn more about traffic building here.

2. Experiment

Test ad sizes, images vs. text, play around with colors, ad unit sizes, you name it. I personally like to have my ads match the background of my site so they blend more.

Read a blog post I wrote where my readers and I discuss our best performing ad units/sizes.

3. Avoid Free Hosts

I know times are tough economically and a lot of you don't want to pay for a website. But the facts don't lie. Successful website owners invest money. Period.

I have yet to open up a magazine and see a successful site featured hosted on Blogger.com or another free host. Never. And I've been out here since 1998.

If you want the search engines and people to take your site seriously, you have to own your site. And if you don't do this, I question your dedication. Even if it means you have to wait and save your money for 6 months to buy a domain and hosting. I'd rather you do that then take shortcuts with free hosting.

I cannot tell you how many e-mails I receive monthly from people who regret the decision to start off free. Once they realize the limitations, they decide to move to a paid host and are left with the intimidating task of moving all their files over. Don't put yourself in that situation.
