I’ve been having a little…”fun” recently. I enjoy making money, heck I bet you do too! That’s why I have been slowly eliminating AdSense from my blog. SO many people DO NOT realize that affiliate marketing can get you so much more than AdSense. I know I’ve really been driving that into the ground but I want you to be successful!

Here is the perfect example, it took me from last October to the end of January to get payment in Adsense. I am around $70 again in AdSense, not doing bad by anyones means. However, in the past MONTH I’ve made $531.34! That I made through affiliate marketing. Now, consider this. I have had a 4 AdSense banners placed in premium positions on my blog. I have also had several affiliate banners placed on my blog the entire month.

Well, through a matter of coincidence my affiliate manager at Hydra, the wonderful and beautiful(I’m just guessing that..haha) Victoria wanted me to start using them. I agreed and we found a campaign for ADT security, which is GREAT if you do not have it. However,we decided to run a little test and I put up a couple banners on my site this evening around 7:30 PM EDT.

The FBI recently reported that homicides and robbery have increased over 10% in some areas. Learn how you can protect your home and your family by visiting here. With violent crime on the rise, get piece of mind knowing your family is protected. Visit this link for information on a free home security system.

Well, I am now blogging at 2:58 AM and I have made…$27! That’s right, within 8 hours I made more with affiliates than I have the entire month with AdSense. It’s not limited to just Hydra either! Market Leverage got a $26 sale from someone through Blogging4Everyone and then their is their PurePlay offer. Check that out, if you just enter your email you can get a seat in the World Series of Poker.

Affiliate marketing is NOT going away, if anything, it is only getting bigger. I’d encourage you to get rid of AdSense and get into something that actually pays you for your work!

PayPerPost sent out an interesting email to all advertisers earlier today. Thought I would share it with you.

Dear Ryan ,

As I am sure you know, we are very close to releasing a public BETA of SocialSpark, our new Social Marketing Network. We would like to invite you to participate in a private ALPHA prior to that release. We are not accepting any hard dollars during the Alpha period, rather we are providing credits for current PayPerPost advertisers.

Now through the end of March, for every $1000 you spend in PayPerPost we will credit you with $100 in SocialSpark Alpha Bucks and a key to the Alpha. Maximum $5000 Alpha Bucks per advertiser. You can spend your credits on anything in the system during the month of April.

These credits have no cash value and can not be redeemed outside of SocialSpark. All credits must be utilized between April 1 and April 30th, 2008. If you are interested in participating in this limited Alpha launch program please contact me or your sales representative for more information.

 

Well, I’d like to thank IZEA for sending me a promotional email. I am an advertiser, but I don’t happen to have $1,000 sitting around. I am glad to hear that they might finally be launching their long delayed Social Spark application, supposed to be launched in November, the application still does not have a definitive launch date. Well, good luck IZEA, I will be watching but not buying.

I have been slaving away hard at affiliate marketing and think I am finally getting a place or two. Some of the best offers are usually the most difficult to find. Then, you have to promote them and that takes time too!

Well, I want to announce the launch of my new get paid to signup site, FunCashOnline. FunCashOnline is a site where you can signup for advertisers offers and get paid to do so! We have some really nice ones for college information and Napster up right now!

Alright, so if you are not into paying $170 for the Get Paid To script you should still work in affiliate marketing. My total is climbing higher and higher! I am so happy that this is finally paying off. However, most people think affiliate marketing is just emailing/spamming a bunch of people. This is NOT true at all. Affiliate marketing can be either web(as in website), search(paid search), or email. A lot of people are making a lot of money off of affiliate marketing, so you should be sure to get in on it today!!!

One of the things I hate most about not blogging, is that I cannot keep people involved in this blog.  That is a huge problem, because as soon as the blog gets boring people bail out left and right.  Let’s just say that its a common thing in any niche, any place.  I have gotten so tired of blogging, its just boring.  I am going to be honest with you, because I have to if you are going to take me seriously.

Take a break, thats right!  If you think your blogging is sufffering site back, relax, and watch the flowers.  Better yet, don’t let your readers know!  I am serious, because, if you post you are going for a break people are going to bailout and decided not to visit even faster.  So, don’t waste your time.

Let the site do the work for you.  Don’t feel like working?  Have Wordpress autopost a new post every day, its simple, easy and effective.

Well, thats my short list of ways to deal with keeping people involved.  Contests are good as well, but hey, who hasn’t held a blogging contest yet?

Well, it’s been a while since I have talked about that controversial marketing tool called Entrecard! They have been growing by leaps and bounds. Sadly, I have not kept up with the times like I should and therefore am missing out on the credit explosion. Right now, people are dropping cars like crazy and there was a card drop limit put into place. Now, users cannot drop more than 300 cards a day. In fact, there is even a site that lists the top 300 fastest loading Entrecards above the fold.

Entrecard has also mastered the art of building up a community. They have had an EXPLOSION in growth. Nothing short of miraculous. This community has become nearly self-sufficent. The only part that really isn’t part of the Entrecard site is people selling credits on eBay. Yes, there is ACTUALLY a market for such things. It’s amazing. Nonetheless, Entrecard seems to be conquering.

Entrecard is lacking something though, ways to make you money. Indirectly, there are several opportunities such as becoming a seller, etc, etc. However, Entrecard, if you allowed people to make money directly that’d be AWESOME!

Point in case: Entrecard is STILL awesome

I have to say THANK YOU to all my wonderful sponsors and others who made the first contest a great success. I am looking forward to holding another one soon. While I have been talking about the contest and not posting a lot, there is a great reason for that, contests take a lot of work but they do help you make a lot of money. I met several new people and had a lot of fun. I have learned a couple things about contests though.

MAKE THEM EASY!
While I had a TON of prizes for this contest, and got new rss subscribers, and links and such I did not make it easy to join. I required too much of people and I think that had to do with the turnout being lower than what I was hoping for it to be. Next time, the contest is going to be dead simple, like just registering for my RSS feed or something similar.

PROMOTE, and PROMOTE
Promoting requires a lot of effort, I actually had to email around twenty different contest blogs, and ended up being included in most of them. Thank goodness because it took several hours to do, but it does pay off.

Prize Management
Dealing prizes out to everyone took a lot of administration and was much harder than I thought. I finally did manage to finish it yesterday though.

I am exhausted from all this contest stuff. I’ll be sure to give you guys a more interesting read tomorrow.

I tried my best. Those numbers were all pulled from random.org, completely random. If you have YES marked next to your name, email ryan at ryan444123 dot com with your PayPal email.

All others, you will be contacted shortly(like I have to get up in 7.5 hours…so after I get home tomorrow). Thanks for participating guys, and hope we have a lot more fun in the future contests!

CONTEST ENDS AT 9 P.M. TOMORROW! GET YOUR ENTRIES IN!

I DID it! Well, with your help Blogging4Everyone community! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my articles. I always love helping you guys out and I appreciate the hard work you’ve put in. Now, I have conquered my first mountain, although, there are MANY more to come.

On other AdSense news, recently, a new Terms of Service was displayed in front of me when I attempted to login. You must approve this by May 25th 2008 or your account will be disabled. So login to AdSense even if you don’t use it anymore, as you might want to use it again in the future. AdSense is one of the easiest ways to make money blogging after all, just think of the possibilities of placement on your site and you will be amazed the revenue you can pull in.

Also, AdSense has started mailing those pin numbers out at $10 in earnings instead of $50. That means you will receive your pin code in plenty of time for payment. The thing that you should be excited about for AdSense is that they pay via EFT, which is a wire direct to your bank account, Western Union, Check and Express delivery check. I chose EFT as it is the fastest and sure enough payment was posted on the 25th and I got payment on the 26th!

If you haven’t been on the AdSense horse in a few weeks/months/years you might want to get back on, after all it is a truly high quality program.

So you don’t have tons of money from Blogging yet? Got some debt? Not a problem, FamilyDebtFreedom.com Will Find the Right Debt Solution for You!

The contest is going GREAT folks. I can’t tell you the exact number of entries as it would be no fun! Make sure you get your entries in ASAP! The contest does close Friday at 9 P.M. EST. Anywho, I joined Hydra Media today and do they have a great network or what! My affiliate manager is Victoria, she is AWESOME! She was able to answer all my questions and best of all they pay through PayPal!

My experiment with Bidz is going great as well. I am gaining a few hits a day from ranking for it on Google, and soon I should be getting quite a bit of traffic. I am going to start a new offer about asbestoses. It pays $100 per lead!

 

Well, get in on that contest, after all everyone is going to win a prize at this rate. It is easy and you have no EXCUSE!!! Anyways, good luck and hope you win. I’ll keep you updated on affiliate marketing.

I have been playing around with Review Me over on Pepper(y) Jam. Heh, I love calling them that. Anyways, they are one of the higher paying offers with $25 per lead. Turns out the lead needs to have a deposit before I make any money. So I shot down. Now, I found the offer I have up now. Financial offers have done well here, not really a surprise.

I was wandering through COPEAC and saw BIDZ! I was so happy as BIDZ and I have worked well together in the past and it is at a higher payout of $7! Anyways, I am just happy to see it back. Hopefully I will post something a bit better tomorrow, have fun ya’ll and don’t forget to enter the contest! It ends in less than a week!
