New Article on Triond – Cheaters on Getref

New Article on Triond

I have just published a new article on Triond.com, it deals about eight uncommon ways for using Google. You can also look at the widget in the right sidebar, which shows you all (only 5) of my published articles so far. Triond is a nice way to make some dollars per month, especially if you write good content (hopefully better then mine ;-)

Cheaters on Getref

Some days ago, I invested some credits (that I´ve earned for joining some PTC programs) in promoting my own program that makes me a great portion of earnings per month (Clixsense). Today I got my first referral via Getref, but the user didn´t even join under me. He only claims for the credits I invested. The big problem so far is, that I can either decline this transaction, resulting in a negative user rating for me or I credit him while loosing my “hard” earned credits. I have 3 days left to either accept or decline this referral, hopefully he will join within this time.

I won´t say that Getref is actually a bad thing, but if you got cheated it makes you feel bad ;-(
But I´ll look forward in getting more referrals from there and I hope there are some Non-cheaters willing to join under me. It all needs some amount of experimenting (hence my blog´s name).

Next time I will show you the world of traffic exchanges and doing some advertising with it.

Earn Money With Sponsored Posts

If you already have a Blog, you can make a really nice income from it. So today I will talk about making some money from writing Reviews and Sponsored Posts. I will present you 3 sites that will help you find opportunities. But first let me tell you what my personal goals regarding paid posts are.

My Future Goals

I know that clicking paid ads or reading paid mails isn´t a task one can fulfill on an everyday basis for the long term, it´s getting boring and it isn´t worth the effort if you want to earn some real money. But I won´t say it´s actually bad, you get a nice start in the money making branch and you can invest some money you´ve earned in promoting your blog for example. It won´t be much, but it gives you a feel of having something accomplished.

My personal goal with Paid-to-Click programs and that kind, is actually promoting my blog with some kind of advertising. I will needs this, because I want my Blog to become (hopefully a bit) more popular. So I´ll try my best to earn enough to make that happen.

You may ask what this all has to do with Sponsored Post? The simple answer is, that you won´t be able to get paid for Reviews or Sponsored Posts if you have a Blog that´s unpopular. I will tell you about the minimum requirements in a moment.

So you see that everything needs a lot of time to evolve (my Blog is so young, I´ll have to wait some time to start sponsored blogging). But I must admit, I like it anyway. It keeps me working hard on achieving my goals.

Sponsored Blogging

For all of you, who actually have a (somewhat more) popular Blog than I have, here are 3 nice programs that will pay you for writing Sponsored Posts:

1. Blogitive

Blogitive pays you a standard of $5 per post you publish on your Blog (this may vary depending on sponsors). Other programs may pay you much more, but with Blogitive you have no limit in the number of Sponsored Posts and Reviews. So you can make some bucks if you keep on writing. Your Blog must be at least 3 month old and indexed in Google and Yahoo. You should have an average of 3 posts per week. A nice thing about Blogitive is the weekly(!) payment via Paypal, very nice for fast money.

2. PayPerPost

PayPerPost is more widely know than all the other programs. And as I´ve observed, they pay you more than just $5 per post, it all depends on the opportunities you´ll accept. And this is the point, you can accept an opportunity that you like and that fits on your Blog´s theme. After accepting it, you have 6 hours to complete your Sponsored Post. Some people make more than $500 per month, so if you like writing, simply check this out. The requirements for being accepted as a Blogger are nearly the same as with Blogitive. Your Blog must be 3 month old, you should have 20 pre-existing posts to this date and an archive page (which most Blogs have). You are allowed to post a maximum of 3 posts per day (which must be labeled with “sponsored” or something like this) and you must have one regular post before and after the sponsored one. PayPerPost pays after 30 days directly to your Paypal account.

3. ReviewMe

ReviewMe is another great site that let you start making money from blogging. There you´ll get offers for reviewing different sites. You can make between $20 and $200 per single post you publish on your Blog. The requirements for being accepted there should be the same, they only say you´ll need a minimum amount of traffic, citations and subscribers to your news-feed. The posting frequency (the number of paid posts you´re allowed to add to your Blog) will be calculated from your blogger rating, including Technorati and Alexa rankings. You get paid on a monthly basis via Paypal.

I hope this article will be helpful for you, especially if you already have your own Blog. Feel free to post some comments, because I need some insight from bloggers that have already published Sponsored Posts and got paid from one of the programs.

I wish you a nice weekend!

Subvert and Profit is Back Again

Subvert and Profit seems to be working normal know. There were some troubles past weeks, mainly because they changed their webhost and, tragically, one of their founders died by an accident. My heartfelt sympathy!

Today my Stumble Upon account got verified by S&P (before only my Digg account was verified) and I just received my first story to digg. The story was actually hidden within 4 articles, so I had to digg them all. This has to be done because otherwise you may get banned from Digg or SU because of gaming their TOS. Long story short, I received my $0.50 within an hour (yes, they pay you half a dollar per digg/stumble!). Im looking forward on how frequent those stories will come into my inbox, hopefully there will be some, because you can really make good (and easy) money with Subvert and Profit.

You even have the possibility to refer other people, you´ll get 20% of their earnings and 10% if you refer an advertiser. It´s not bad in my opinion, but it heavily relies on how much diggs or stumbles you´ll get into your account.

PS: Subvert and Profit has a really fast and helpful support. If you have some questions, that don´t get answered in their FAQ, simply send an email. I got my response within an hour.

Cheerio!

Triond Payments Received

I just want to tell you that I´ve received my september earnings from my published articles on Triond. They said they´ll pay on October 15th, and they paid on October 15th! Real nice in my opinion, although its not that much, only $4.95 ;-) I´m currently working on an new article that deals about Google, I hope I can publish it in a few days. In the meantime you can check out my other articles, you´ll find the links in the Triond widget on the ride side of this blog. If you want to know what Triond is, read my article I´ve posted some weeks ago.

Next time I´ll write about some other nice ways to turn your written text in money, so stay tuned.

So long!

Why I have so many Referral Links…

You may have noticed that nearly every blog post I´ve written so far contains at least one referral link. Sure, you may call me a spammer for doing that kind of promoting the different Paid-to-Click or Money-for-Writing sites, but let me tell you what I am thinking about this.

This whole blog is all about making money online, at least $100 within the next 6 month ;-) But, one big difference to many other money making blogs is, that I´ll do my best to actually give you the most valuable informations regarding earning some bucks online. I won´t lie to you, e.g. in saying what a great PTC site I´ve joined, if this site turns out to be a real big scam or it isn´t even worth to mention. Other people want to refer people to such scams, while telling you how wonderful their programs are. You know such pyramid schemes, where they tell you how to earn thousands of dollars per day? Don´t even dream about it, you won´t become rich overnight by only joining a single program or by buying one of those “great” ebooks that will tell you about making money! You definitely have to work real hard for your goals.

So, this is why I place so many referral links. I´ve actually tested those programs and when I feel they are worth it, I´ll place a link (but please don´t beat me if one site turns out to be a scam, even if I said it was OK. The internet goes fast, sites come and go and so there may be scams). I place those links in the hope, that one of you will join under me. So both sides will win, you, because you´ve joined a program that actually works and I, because I´ll get some cents (and not thousands and thousands of dollars…). You know, this blog is about making money, so even some cents will help me to reach my personal goal.

I also won´t lie to you by hiding my referral links. You might have seen those hidden links on some sites (have you ever seen something hidden ;-) ). The most common way for hiding referral links, is by using Javascript or web services like Tinyurl.com, which will camouflage your hyperlinks. I won´t do this simply because if I want to refer people, I actually refer them and don´t wait for my users clicking a link, where they don´t know exactly where it points them to.

Feel free to tell me your opinions!

Have a wonderful day!
