Pay-To-Clickers and Network Marketers Unite

Pay-To-Click (PTC) programs are a popular way for many to earn online. The problem with pay-to-click programs is that many of them can be managed poorly and then shut down. There are some healthy long-term PTC programs online but you normally cannot cashout with one of this programs until you reach about $10.00 or more -- Clixsense and Hits4Pay are good examples of healthy long-term PTC sites.

The PTC programs online are free to join, however, always come with an upgrade option that can bring the participant greater benefits; such as higher click rates, free referrals, etc. Each pay-to-click program usually has their own set of benefits with upgrading. I have seen PTC upgrades anywhere from $10 to as high as $80.


A new concept has developed whereby pay-to-clickers and network marketers unite. This new online program called Bux-Matrix. This program is partly owned by the creator of the Work for $3 program, which has taken off with many network marketers.

Bux-Matrix is a free-to-join program that complements both the pay-to-clicker and the network marketer, as it offers:

** Free membership
** A 10-cent sign-up bonus.
** Cashout at $2.00!!!
** Upgrade option for $12.00.

When a pay-to-clicker upgrades at Bux-Matrix, the sky is the limit. Not only do you get the standard benefits found in most PTC programs (i.e. increased click rates, etc.), you also get lifetime membership in a 3 x 12 matrix, which is LOADED with benefits. For example, if you refer somebody to the program and they then upgrade, you receive a $2.00 referral commission; not 10 cents or 25 cents. The earnings from the Matrix can become quite substantial.

Bux-Matrix is still in prelaunch and should be loading up the ads in the next week. People joining the program now are either joining for free or paying the $12 to take a spot in the matrix. Please CLICK HERE to learn more about it.

We haven't entered 2009 yet, but I can tell already that Bux-Matrix is going to be one of the online programs that are going to enter the Winner's Circle.

Fast Cash, Raffles and Advertising , Oh My!

Wowza! I posted about this program maybe a month ago and all I can is Oh My! It is true that good things come in tiny little packages. A new online program came out last month that I wanted to check out for its advertising. I spent a bit on PPC advertising and was looking to cut down on my expenses and decided to give this a whirl. Once again -- Oh My!

Not only did I discover this program to have a RESPONSIVE advertising platform but you can make fast cash with it through the raffles and the compensation plan. The admin of this program pays out automatically everytime your account reaches $15, and I was surprised to be paid a few times over the past month.


The secret lies in this program's compensation program -- it is a 2 x10 FORCED matrix that can bring in a nice chunk of change for people. I should correct that and just say that you can make a monthly income with this program. I tried to copy and paste the comp plan into this post so you could see it but it isn't coming out right.

The only thing people need to do to really earn with the program is share it with 2 or more people. I have shared it with a few people; some wanted to try it and some did not, but those people who decided to check it out have had no problems recommending the program to others. I really wasn't expecting to make much money with this, if anything at all. I figured I would just trial it for advertising. WOW is all I can say after the Oh My!

If you have an income opportunity or work at home opportunity that you would like to promote and share with others, you need to check this out. If you don't really care about advertising and just want to make some money, you need to look at this as well. I wish I was able to post some proofs of payment but I haven't learned how to do that yet. Once I figure out how to do that I will have to post about this program again.

Fast cash via the compensation plan and raffles is here for the taking, and the advertising is great too. No complaints whatsoever with the S4P Net Profits program.

Network Marketers vs. Opportunity Seekers

Network marketers vs. opportunity seekers - what is the difference? The only reason I am able to answer this question is due to my recent list building activities. Utilizing Bidvertiser I had run numerous ads on TrafficWave. The results of that advertising were awesome or so I thought, until it dawned on me that I had acquired a list of subscriber's who were opportunity seekers; these are people who are more or less just looking. They come with the mindset of learning how to make money online but are not accustomed to opening up their wallet for a program or a product; they are not actual network marketers, as the seasoned network marketer is familiar with investing monies in a product or service they really like and want to represent. To make a long story short, what I had acquired through my advertising was a list of untargeted leads.
Solution to the problem = Instant Cash List. I recently had a conversation with a guy who is beginning to make quite a buzz on the internet. This guy had lost his job about 7 months ago and is really making some nice money. Alright, I will be totally honest -- he is making LOTS of money. He started off with nothing more than a lead capture page and autoresponder and one program and then moved forward to programs like Instant Cash List. This guy has built a HUGE list of targeted prospects; network marketers who are not afraid to spend some money.

By this man using programs like Instant Cash List, he is now becoming one of the largest team builders for MLM programs online. Think I am blowing smoke out my you know what -- take a look http://3simplesteps2success.blogspot.com/ It is fair to say he has definitely enlightened me to take a bold step in participating in a program like Instant Cash List.

Would I like to change my list of subscriber's from opportunity seekers to actual network marketers? You betcha. If you are also stumbling into the wrong types of prospects for your programs, you may also want to consider using a program such as the Instant Cash List to acquire actual buyers vs. lookers.

Another great thing about Instant Cash List is you get quite a bit of advertising by participating - AND- you even get PLR and MRR to a variety of eBooks; nevermind the fact that you have the opportunity to make some money with it.

BigCrumbs for Holiday Shopping Savings

BigCrumbs is an online shopping network I love to use; especially now for the holidays. I know there are quite a few shopping networks you can use to save a few dollars, but BigCrumbs is the only one I am aware of where you can save money on eBay purchases. eBay sellers can also utilize the BigCrumbs program to help increase their sales.

Outside of eBay purchases, you can also save money and get cashback returns on a variety of other popular merchant sites. Everybody is going to be trying to save money this holiday season, and I think many will be visiting eBay to make a few of their purchases. Why not save a little extra through the BigCrumbs shopping network?

The BigCrumbs program is free to join. This company will even reward you by sharing it with your friends. The friends I have recommended BigCrumbs to have not had any complaints about the service. All have been happy with their purchases and their savings. If you would like to save some money and you have some friends that would also like to save money, BigCrumbs is the way to go.

Megalido Bites The Dust

Megalido -- the rants, the money, the hype. Unfortunately, Megalido, the autosurf that states on its website that it is going to bring the autosurf industry back into glory, has failed.

I have posted about this autosurf a few times. In fact, in my last post I actually praised this autosurf for paying out the returns it had stated it would. It appeared that Megalido was going to do what it set out to do; bring the autosurf industry back with some type of honor. At this website the owner identifies himself and also his locale and then writes a very inspirational article for those that are interested in participating in his program but may be sitting on the fence.

I was hesitant to try it given the bad rep this industry has, however, after seeing the payments that people were receiving and the contests and the owner's dedication toward his program, I fell for it. I took this guy's line, as did 10,000+ people. Even better, many other autosurf websites have popped up inviting people to participate in their program to make some money.

At this time Megalido is no longer paying, and the owner has crafted another story in order to explain why. Believe him? Don't think so. Megalido bites the dust. End of this story for me. Will I venture into another autosurf program? No way.

WordLinx Offers Cash Prizes

Wordlinx is a PTC site that I joined a year ago and really haven't paid much attention to it because I didn't like it. I entered the site a few days ago out of curiousity and am happy to see many improvements. I also ran into a nifty little contest they are having for some easy money. I think I am going to put together a solo ad with all the contests I am finding online because I am running into them left and right. Here are the details of this contest:

There are 5 winners for this cash contest. It is a referral contest. 1st place winner gets $250; 2nd place winner gets $100 and 3 third place winners will get $50. This contest ends on December 5th.

Wordlinx says that a referral must be active in order to be included. They have defined an active member as a new member who has clicked on a least 5 links and has logged in within the last 2 weeks; so I would guess that would be 2 weeks before December 5th (when the contest ends).

I did look at the stats for this contest and the top referrer right now has 66 and the 5th place referrer has 21. Can you do it? Do you want a little extra holiday cash? I sure do. I would love to win the SquishyCash contest that I listed below but I don't think I would be able to do it.

If you are feeling lucky and feel you can win this contest, get moving and good luck to you.

SquishyCash $1,000 Referral Contest

SquishyCash is holding a referral contest. If you are a list builder, this is a good contest to enter. Many people participate in these programs and refer many but never capture their referral's information. Unfortunately the GPT and PTC sites do not allow you to mail your prospects from the backoffice so you are out of luck if you don't maintain your referrals' information. I invite you to contact your prospects and friends online and get going on this. Everybody who brings in 100 will get $1,000 -- split the money with your friends.



November's $1,000 Referral Contest!
November 1st-30th. Ends at 11:59pm EST.
Every member that refers 100 new active members will win $1,000!
A new active member constitutes a member that has signed up in November and has completed and has approved at least one offer in November.
Although you make referral money from PTC ads, referrals are not considered active if all they've done is click PTC ads. Active referrals are one's that have had an offer approved.

You can only win $1,000 once. For example, you will win the same amount of money whether you reach 100 active referrals or 234 active referrals in November.
Winnings from this contest will be added to accounts on December 1st. So, if you reach 100 active referrals on November 18, we will add $1,000 to your account on December 1st.

All members that win cash prizes in this contest will be permitted to cash out on December 1st before 11:59pm EST in order to be paid on or around the last day of December.

Megalido Just Keeps Paying Without Fail

On October 13th I wrote a post about a new autosurf called Megalido. I sat and watched this program for awhile before I participated in it due to various concerns. However, I finally took the jump and it is without regrets.

In my last Megalido post I mentioned that I put $60 into this program (costs $6 for one ad spot). I surfed faithfully for 12 days and earned 12% on my $60 and received a cashout of $86.40 on the 12th day. I then tossed $84 back in and received a cashout of $120.96 on Nov. 5th -- within 30 days I doubled my money at this program.

Megalido appears to be nonstop and going strong. If you have a few bucks and want to make them double, you can do it at this site. The funny thing about this is that due to the overwhelming success of this autosurf, I am seeing new ones pop up left and right and people are participating in them. I haven't learned of any bad programs yet, but the overall favorite is still Megalido. If you have $6.00 and want to check it out, just CLICK HERE, as your $6 ad purchase could double to $12 in less than 30 days.

Free Money Online

Free money online - is there such a thing? It all depends on how you look at it. There are platforms, such as the pay to click sites, that offer totally free money by just clicking on ads. If you are referring others to the programs and participating in many PTC sites and clicking daily, you can earn a couple of bucks. But where is a safe place to go if you want more and don't want to pay any money to participate.

My suggestion would be to go to the "get paid to" sites. At these sites you do not have to pay into anything unless you choose to do so. What you do at these sites is fill out advertising forms and receive a much greater return than a penny a click. However, when you fill out these forms you also need to set up an alternate e-mail address because these advertisers you are filling out forms for will send you numerous ads, and you obviously don't want it in your main mailbox. You also need to allow the advertiser to place a cookie for a short time. All who participate in the GPTs follow a procedure in terms of clearing their cookies and getting this offers to credit to their accounts.

When I first came online I participated in numerous GPT sites and remain with just a couple. But the SquishyCash site is my favorite of all of them. You can actually earn more here at this site if you read their promotional calendar and participate on those days. For example, today is Earn a Buck - Get a Buck day. So for me filling out a couple ad forms and earning a dollar, SquishyCash will match it.

SquishyCash has been online now for quite some time. They offer new signups a $3.00 sign-up bonus and also have added an immediate 25 cent payment to PayPal. If you make the GPTs one of your main sources of income online, you can make good money with them, but then again you need to participate in a few and refer many.

A girl I knew when I first started online made herself a blog listing all her programs and then made business cards and distributed them to mothers in her community. Suffice it to say she is doing well in terms of making money with them. Another gal most recently reported earnings of $1,200 to me last month. These women have been doing this for about 1-1/2 years so it does take time to get up to that income level but it is possible.

SquishyCash is one of the GPT sites you will most definitely want to participate in if you want to check it out. They do have international offers but the majority of offers they have are targeted to the USA and Canada. The GPT sites are another great way to get some free money online.

NeoBux Paid To Click

NeoBux is a program I have seen some time ago but never bothered to join it because I think I was put off by all the BUX pay to click sites coming out at the time. This program has been doing quite well and has demonstrated to be healthy (meaning it is being managed properly and I don't think it will be closing up shop), so I took the plunge and am happy that I did.

All I can say is if you have not had the opportunity to try this pay per click program, you want to give it a shot. The payout in this program is very obtainable at $2.00. I have been a big ClixSense user since I have come online and making their $10 payout has not come easy without the need to upgrade, but I also like the advertising at ClixSense and utilize it because I can target my audience so I really have no complaints with it.

Neobux is something you can do when you are reading an article or just checking your mail. It is very easy money to be had. I haven't tried the advertising yet and most certainly won't upgrade here because it costs $90. But if you need a couple bucks this is a great place to get it.

In addition to the pay to click ads, they also have some other neat things. They have lottery jackpots where you can win money and you can even rent referrals. I haven't participated in the lottery, and I don't think I will be renting referrals.
I have no problem recommending NeoBux to anybody who is looking for a credible online pay to click program to participate in. They payout via PayPal and AlertPay payment processors.

Autoresponder Subscription Form for Blogs

TrafficWave owner Brian Rooney has recently started his own blog on Blogger. I am very excited about this. I often post about the autoresponder service I use at TrafficWave and how essential it is to enter direct e-mail marketing if you want to earn online for the long-term.

It is very important to build a list of subscribers via autoresponder. I know many bloggers are focused on obtaining an RSS readership to achieve high page ranks, but the fact of the matter is that many people really are not reading what you have to say. I sign to many bloggers' RSS feeds but I don't read any of them. Hate to say it but it is true, and I am certain I am not the only one.

What happens if you own 5-6 different blogs? Wouldn't it be nice to just send out one newsletter to all readers of your blogs at once vs all these various readerships? Autoresponders are very convenient and is a crucial marketing tool. In my opinion, you need to have it to succeed online.

Brian Rooney has made a post to his blog on how to place an autoresponder subscription form on your blog.

http://brianrooneyonline.blogspot.com/2008/11/add-autoresponder-subscription-form-to.html

I invite you to visit his blog to learn more about the TrafficWave service and how it can help you online.

Responsive Advertising

Responsive advertising platforms can be very difficult to find. It can be extremely frustrating to locate your best sources. Yesterday I posted about a program called SP4NetProfits, which is a new program created by the very large SP4 advertising network.

When I advertise I utilize ad trackers and lead capture pages provided by TrafficWave so that I can obtain a mailing list of prospects for any good opportunities I come across online. Today I checked my stats utilizing the above-mentioned platform and am very excited. In less than 24 hours time I have obtained 2 leads to my autoresponder, which is 2 prospects for my current opportunity plus any others I may come across in the future.

I don't know about you, but I do spend money on advertising in order to build my subscriber's list and introduce my programs. The fact that I got 2 prospects from this advertising network in less than 24 hours is a very good result indeed, and the best part about it is I only paid $7.95 for it.

If you are looking for a responsive advertising platform, I have no problems recommending the SP4 Net Profits program to you. It is cheap and also comes with an income opportunity that has a $2,000 potential. That is another great thing because in less than 24 hours I have already earned my $7.95 back and then some through the programs 2x10 forced matrix.

If you want to try this program out for 30 days, which I strongly suggest you do because it is only $7.95 a month and could assist you in your promotional efforts, you want to pay on the signup page and not from the e-mail confirmation you will receive afterwards. All membership enrollments are being processed manually and login information is being delivered within 24 hours. I hope to see you participate in this program. It is a keeper for me at this price.

Advertising Network Program That Pays

Advertising networks are great platforms to get involved with because they have LOTS of members that are all looking for opportunities to join or opportunities to offer other members. The S4P Advertising Network has just come out with a new add-on program that is going to be very hot.

The S4P Advertising Network has put together a really great advertising program for just $7.95 a month, but they offer much more. In addition to the advertising they offer, they have included a money-making program and also a downline builder plug-in page where you can add in one of your own programs if you are trying to obtain referrals.

For $7.95 a month, payable via AlertPay, Solid Trust Pay (STP) or PayPal, you get an advertising platform of banner ads, text links, etc., a plug-in downline builder page, and are entered into a 2 x 10 forced matrix that has the potential earnings of $2,000+.

Even better, members have the opportunity to get their monthly subscription fee refunded and are able to enter raffles to also earn money. I understand this new program will be introduced to over 36,000 members in 2 separate clubs over the coming week. I think this advertising network has great potential, and I invite any who are looking for a good advertising platform coupled with a money-making opportunity to consider joining it.

Advertising networks that offer a money-making opportunity attached to them are worth looking into because advertising can be very expensive. I especially like the 2x10 forced matrix concept because there is potential for spillover vs. one person working very hard just to try to obtain a commission.

If you'd like to try it out, please CLICK HERE. For $7.95 this is a steal, and, once again, you also have the opportunity to end up in this program for nothing. Free advertising with this type of earning potential sounds very good to me.

Free-To-Join Programs

Free-to-join programs provide a secure avenue to venture if you want to make some money online. Regardless of what I have gotten involved in online trying to make a buck, I can say without fail that I have never lost any money in a free-to-join program.

The problem with free-to-join programs is that to really earn in these programs is that you need to expand out and refer people, but this is not unusual because everything you participate in online has a referral component. If you really like the program, you will no doubt work very hard at this, and if you don't care for the program that much you will end up putting it on the backburner.

Another problem with these programs is that you have to make sure they are being managed properly by the owners. Too often a free-to-join program will close and the owners will not pay the members. I have seen this happen quite a bit.

I have put together a report on how you can really earn with free-to-join programs. I have included the programs I participate in since I have been online and also highlight how you can save time in jumping that referral hurdle. If you would like to review what I have put together, you are able to subscribe in top right-hand corner of this page.

Get Paid To Advertise

There are not too many advertising platforms that pay you to advertise. I have been watching this one for awhile to ensure that they do in fact pay and that they are not a here today, gone tomorrow online business. All systems are go!!!This business is located in Belgium and if you are familiar with traffic exchanges you will be familiar with this -- BIG EXCEPTION -- you make money by doing it.

For $6 you can advertise your site and earn 12% on that $6 by surfing at least 12 sites a day (recommend at least 14 just to make sure). If you missing surfing for one day, you do not obtain the 12% for that day.

I just purchased $60 of advertising, and each day I surf I am returned $7.20. At the end of my 12 days, my initial funds and my earnings will be returned to me. I don't think the advertising is that bad either because I have receive a response or two.

Megalido also offers contests to further increase your earnings. The current contest will reward 60 members with cash prizes ranging from $400 to $20. There are 6 different prize categories for top promoters and active members of the program.

In addition to getting paid to advertise, if you are monetizing your website with pay-per-click advertising, you can earn more from your PPC ads if you place your site in a traffic exchange. The more views your site receives will increase your Alexa ranking, which in turn will bring higher priced PPC ads to your site. Any blog that utilizes Adsense to monetize should not use traffic exchanges, as you run the risk of losing your account.

Overall, Megalido is a win-win for bloggers who would like to make money online. You will not only get paid to advertise but will also increasing your Alexa ranking at the same time.

I invite you to advertise your business at Megalido. Some members are earning hundreds; even thousands each day. This is a sure way to get some extra money for the holidays.

Megalido accepts multiple payment processors -- Liberty Reserve (LR) , AlterGold (AG), Solid Trust Pay (STP), AlertPay (AP), and StrictPay (SP).
Still not 100% confident -- enroll in a free trial and check it out.

eBooks-Graphics Resell Package and More

eBooks and graphics reselling is just about everywhere online. I have run into quite a few of these websites setup by the digital products internet gurus. What usually happens is they create a very long but attractive website with lots of testimonials geared towards the product inside. If you are interested in what they have to say, you will sign as an affiliate for the program and be supplied with graphics, banners, and a whole bunch of other promo tools. You just need to enter your affiliate ID of the eBook they are offering, and off you go to try to sell this digital product.

There is a NEW concept that has just been released for digital products. In fact, if you have never sold a digital product before online; you may want to consider this new concept because it is a TEAM EFFORT. There is an actual forum where members can chat with each other. You can even go on Skype to meet other members. If you ever get that lonely feeling while working on the internet, this may be for you.

This new concept is called 6 Star Express Book Collections, and it has put an entirely different spin on digital products selling. When you join this program, you can do it from a member's website - OR - you can do it from one of the Teams that are building the program. Is it free to join? No. There is a fee of $99 BUT you can get these funds returned and more because 6Star just doesn't give you an affiliate website and send you on your way to sell e-books, they enter you into their own money-generating program. So when you purchase your 6 Star membership, you not only get eBooks and graphics to resell but another income opportunity supported by 6Star teambuilders.

The team builders coordinate a team list and ensure that all members of their team are moving along. This is a board compensation program. If you are not familiar with board programs, it works as follows: Your 6Star membership places you into a 2x2 board and when that board fills and splits; the person on the top earns $200. Because this is a 2x2 program; it moves very quickly. Members are earning each day and those that have are helping others move along by purchasing an additional membership; eBook collection series to sell.

Come visit the MLM Divas Forum (if you are a guy you must apply lipstick), and meet the team leaders of the program -- Chris (USA), Christina (Amsterdam), Valia (Australia), Tony (Greece), and Paul (USA). There are other happenings in the forum, but for specific information on this program; here is the direct link to that subject thread -- just CLICK HERE to go to it.

Please swing by the forum and check it out. This forum actually just opened a short time ago and bloggers are needed there to give tips and tricks and other information.

How Many Subscribers Are Actually Reading Your Mails?

If you are using an autoresponder to increase your online sales and prospects, have you ever wondered how many of your subscribers are actually reading their mails? I use the TrafficWave service for free and they have put in a great new add-on feature which will actually show you the percentage of people that are opening your mails.

Now I use to think that once somebody confirmed their e-mail address and entered my autoresponder that they would automatically read what I sent them, but I have learned this is not the case. The new add-on feature at TrafficWave has really shed some light on my direct e-mail marketing efforts, as I now know I have to create better subject lines in order to get my reader's attention.

Since I have implemented the TrafficWave service into my online business, things are starting to turn around for me. I have been list building, have a subscriber's list, am getting sales and now can also start focusing in on getting better sales conversions. Nothing like walking around in the dark.

TrafficWave offers much more than just multiple autoresponders. They have ad tracking, banner advertising, and you can have your own FFA page. You can even use their hosted lead capture page templates to start list building; so you do not need a website or blog to start building a list. AND believe it or not, they offer all this for $17.95 a month (not like some other services that charge you an arm and a leg). Better yet, you can even use the service for free if you want to participate in their affiliate program.

If you want to try out the TrafficWave service and embed an autoresponder in your blog or website, I invite you to try it out for 30 days free. They offer free trials. You have nothing to lose. You might even like it and want to continue on with it. Better yet, you may fall in love with it like I have and add it as another stream of online income for yourself. Grab a free trial by CLICKING HERE!

Responsive Safelist for Internet Marketers

I am happy to post that I have finally located a halfway decent safelist internet marketers can utilize as a free member. Thanks to the ad tracking service I use at TrafficWave, I am now able to see which advertising platforms are working for me and which are not. Of the safelists I have trialed, Dusty's SafeList has proven to be a pretty good deal as a free member.

At Dusty's SafeList, I have taken advantage of the text link ads, the banner advertising, and credit mailers available to free members and have received a nice response -- it was not overwhelmingly great but there was a minimal response. Every marketing article I have ever read says that solo ads are the most effective way of getting your ad out to people; this is also available at Dusty's. However, I like to use things for free online and have no intention of upgrading my account. I would much rather use these funds else; like pay-per-click advertising on Bidvertiser, which I believe is more effective.



Whichever way you chose to market online, it is important to utilize as many advertising platforms available to you. There is no doubt that Dusty's SafeList is a keeper for me. Hope you get a chance to try it out.

Cup of Joe To Go

I was recently approached to try a cup of mushroom coffee. Now, I don't know about you, but I am more than likely to have mushrooms on my pizza, not in my morning beverage. The last time I tried an online specialty health treat it was not a good time. In fact, I ended up using it as a disciplinary device for my children. If my children were naughty, I told them they had to come see mom to get some Noni. The looks on their faces was punishment enough; this stuff tastes like rotten feet. I actually have no idea what rotten feet would taste like, but I can only guess that it would rank up there with Noni juice.

I ended up getting some samples of this mushroom coffee and was a little hesitant to give it a go. I actually put them to the side with the thought that tomorrow would be the day I would try it; I just needed to find a good day that I could get sick. The day finally came.

I microwaved my water in my coffee cup and emptied a Ganobrand mocha coffee packet into it. I stirred it around expecting it to be green or red since this beverage contains a Chinese medicinal herb of red mushrooms that is suppose to be very good for you. To my relief there was no green or red; it just looked like coffee.

Then came the smell test. I was a little frightened on this one since the image of rotten feet still plaqued my mind. However, it did not have the rotten feet stench. It had a really nice smell to it.

Now the taste test. The true test of bravery. I took a little sip, and you know what? It didn't taste bad at all. In fact, it tasted pretty good. So I gave it another sip, and it tasted even better. I am now hooked on this Ganobrand mocha coffee; so much that I may end up hosting a blog on it at a later date. I know that health and wellness are hot niches online and I also know that coffee is a very hot
commodity. You will find various statements online saying coffee is secondary to a barrel of oil.

If you are interested in starting a health or wellness niche or having anything to do with coffee online, you really have to look at this company. It does have an affiliate program. In fact, the guy that introduced me to this product has been selling it at home now for 3 years and has a customer base of 3,000; very impressive.

You have to order some samples to check it out if you are into preventative health. I already did the sight, smell and taste test and this stuff is awesome.

ViralNetworks is Going to Blow the Roof

I have been all over the internet since my last post trying to locate something different and unusual that is going to have an impact on all internet marketers, and I think I have finally found it -- Brand New Web 2.0 Social Network For Marketers. This is currently in prelaunch and they are still adding to it.

If you have not seen this yet, YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK! There is no doubt this thing is going to explode. There is not much that stops me in my tracks when I am online, but this marketing platform is something out of this world. When I ran into this, I had seen a promotional video for it. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I immediately signed for it and wish I could locate the same video for my posting, but I am out of luck right now.

No doubt social media is cream of the crop with Twitter, Squidoo, etc., but I really think many, many marketers are going to be adding this to their social media list.

Check out ViralNetworks. You will be amazed. They are calling it the "Internet Marketers Playground", and I think they are right. Maybe I will run into you there.

Losing Lots of Money on the Internet

When I was doing a couple EntreCard drops this morning, I ran across a blog posting that made me laugh hysterically because it is so true. It is entitled "Make Money Online by Lying Your Ass Off" and you will find it at BloggerNoob.com. The author of this blog (and others) is really good. I do read blog postings and do jump around to other pages (make sure you do that deep linking) because it does help bloggers in the search engines. This blogger offers great information that will definitely hold your attention.

In terms of myself, have I made money online? I have been online for 1 year, and I can tell you I have stumbled and fallen all over the place. I did make some money here and some money there, but my bottom line is not so pretty. In fact, if I told you how much I have lost you would probably run away from trying to make money online. Maybe one day I will write an eBook about it in an attempt to save people from making the same mistakes. Funny thing is is that most people DO NOT want to hear it.

For example, the other day I was using LinkReferral and a member had left me a blog review. In turn, I game him feedback on his site, which was nothing more than an affiliate URL link. I could not give him high marks for content because the content is not his. He got his panties up in a bunch about this, and I explained to him that he should embed the affiliate link in a blog or a website or something . . just don't copy and paste the program URLs he represents because he is not doing himself any favors. Was he satisfied with that explanation, of course not -- he doesn't want to listen. He is too busy trying to make that quick buck and in the long run is going to end up losing.

How do I know this -- it has happened to me plenty of times. For example, I worked really hard promoting a program I was making a few bucks from. I had invested monies as well to promote it and had achieved almost 200 referrals. I was excited. I couldn't believe it, but then one day the program owner decided to close shop and my 200 referrals went along with him. Now this program owner went on to create 1 or 2 other programs, and guess who has my referral contact information -- it isn't me.

This is why I am devote to promoting the TrafficWave program to internet marketing beginners. If I could have those 200 referrals with me now, things could have turned out differently for me, but I have had to start all over but am a little older and a little wiser. Unfortunately, until you get burned badly, you may not see the light. And even those that do get burned badly will still not get it.

Unfortunately, one way of effective advertising online is to brag about how much you made because it gets people interested. It makes you an "expert" in your field. The article at Bloggernoob states one poster listed -0- earnings for the month. Now even though that may give you a chuckle, at least it is honest. Making money online is not an easy task. It takes time, patience, and dedication. I just wish I could turn the hands of time back because I would have a pretty nice list of prospects right now, but I too didn't listen. Live and learn.

Beginner List Builders

Beginner list builders can get excited about the TrafficWave program. It is an automated e-mail marketing program targeted to beginners. In general, to utilize an autoresponder you need to have a blog, a website, or a squeeze page. But what TrafficWave provides to the beginner are HOSTED LEAD CAPTURE PAGES. It is also easy to use and offers a free ad tracking service, banner advertising, FFA (free for all) advertising page, tutorials and support forum.

One thing that makes me cringe is when I see internet marketers displaying affiliate links or bloggers that are promoting their blogs to increase their readers but doing nothing to list build. The best way to build a subscriber's list is to offer them a free eBook or newsletter. For example, if I wanted to build a blogging subscriber's list, I would locate an eBook focused on blogging. Here is a great example of a blogger building a subscriber's list -- CLICK HERE.

The TrafficWave program offers free trials for people who would like to try out their tools - PLUS - they offer a very nice compensation program for those that would like to promote it. In fact, many promoters can end up making a monthly 4 figure income with the program in a year's time or sooner. Please CLICK HERE to obtain your free trial. If you would like it FREE for 60 days, I will upgrade your account at the end of the trial period. The cost of the TrafficWave program is $17.95 a month but many users end up utilizing it for free if they share it with a friend or two.

Beginner list builders, this is a great opportunity to start making your own "money in the list" at no cost to you.

Win $25 via Paypal and 2000 EntreCards

Upon dropping some Entrecards today, I noticed a blogger holding a contest. I love when I see bloggers marketing their blogs in this manner because it demonstrates they are committed to really making some money on line. I am always happy to assist anybody who has lots of dedication and motivation because making money online does require lots of work.

This blogger is offering all that subscribe to his RSS feed, post a link back to his blog, and write a post about his contest the opportunity to win $25 and 2000 Entrecards. Will I win; of course not. I am one of those that never wins anything, but I always like to try to help out when I can.

So if you are blogger and would like a chance to win a little cash and Entrecards, head over Jeflin's Investment Blog. Even if you don't win, it is good to know you were able to help a fellow blogger.

Bloggers To Watch

Blogging will be a here today, gone tomorrow scenario for some trying to make money online. However, there are times I come across a blog that has all the right components to it; these bloggers are on their way to earning some nice money. The blog I am mentioning is called Blog of an Internet Marketing Addict.

Why do I think this blog is going to make money? First, the design is eye catching. Second, this blogger has set up an autoresponder right at the top of his header. They are aware about the importance of list building. They are offering a very informative eBook in their subscriber. They are building a reader base, and they are investigating various ways to drive traffic to their blog. Also, they are using a hosted WP theme, and the search engines love WP. Also because it is a hosted blog it is showing this blogger is commited to this site.

Just as an FYI, if you are going to host a blog make sure you go for a 2-year hosting plan because Google for some reason gives 2-year hosted plan sites more kudoos. It demonstrates to them that this site is a long-term project and not a fly-by-night presentation; primarily the reason why I don't have a hosted blog because I am not really sure which way I want to go with anything at the moment, but I do know a couple things about winners, and this blog is on its way up.

Check out this blog and you will see why I believe this is one blogger on the rise to online success.

Squidoo Drives Traffic

Bloggers that want to drive traffic to their sites need to utilize Squidoo. There are many ways to drive traffic and this is one of them. I see some bloggers utilizing Squidoo but they are not taking full advantage of it.

If you are going to use Squidoo, you are going to do more than just make a lens. You are going to want to insert your RSS feed into it, you are going to want to utilize the Tweeter plug-in option, you are going to want to take advantage of their monetization models, and you are definitely going to want to get involved in the communities. This program also offers directory listings just for lenses.

Because the search engines are Squidoo friendly, you are going to want to make sure you utilize keywords so the engines will know what your lens is about. Creating a lens obviously takes some time, but it is well worth your effort. You are going to want to place a Squidoo banner on your blog (they have 125 x 125) when you have completed your lens; so you see you will be directing readers of your Squidoo lens to your blog and vice versa.

For bloggers that are into Clickbank or those that are already into Squidoo, there is an eBook available for you to market called Squidoo Cash Machine. I ran into a Squidoo lens last week where the writer explained that she had purchased this eBook and applied its marketing methods and had an increase in her primary sales. She had also sold a couple of the eBooks; so you may want to take a look at it and see if this is something you want to market or personally read.

Free Viral Global Advertising for Bloggers

Free viral global advertising for bloggers and website owners is available in a new program that is getting ready to launch. This program is called The Widgeteers. If you are an EntreCard participant you will really like this. I actually think everybody who wants to drive traffic to their blogs and websites is going to enjoy this.

So what is it? First and foremost, it is free to join. What The Widgeteers program is going to do is allow you to create widget ads for yourself promoting your blog, product, services, etc. and these widgets are going to be displayed on everybody's blog or website that contains the Widgeteer code. You would also need to place a Widgeteer code on your site. This is an advertising bartering system that I think is going to be hot.

The widgets that you will display on your site are very attractive. These are not ugly ad designs. You can have them set up as an Adsense type block ad or you can set it up to appear where you would display your 125 x 125 banners. Right at this moment they have not launched and the widget code is not available for me to display on my blog, but you can get signed up and write up your ads.

Check out The Widgeteer and see what you think. It should be able to aid you in receiving more traffic to help you build your online business.

Forum Marketing

Forum marketing; if you haven't ventured into it you really should; especially if you are trying to make money online. I have noted many bloggers hang out in blogging communities but not too many venture over into the make money forums. This is a way to get added exposure to your blog.

When you register to be a member of any forum, you will be given a control panel and in this control panel you can upload pictures and many other things, BUT the most important thing you can do is fill out the signature line section. This is where you are going to place your blog URL and people do look at them. Why? Because they want to check you out; they want to see what you are about especially if you are new to that particular forum community.

Some people when they first go into forums are afraid to post to them. I don't blame them. I was scared to death myself when I first started. Make sure you read the posting rules for each forum if you are new to forum marketing because you may unknowingly break a rule. I have had a hand slap before for posting in the wrong section or for doing something else I had no idea I was doing wrong. Jump around the threads of each forum and find something of interest you can post to and keep doing it. In time you will begin networking and meeting other like-minded people.

I do many types of internet marketing but by far forum marketing is my favorite because it can become very social. I have developed a circle of internet marketing friends through the forums. It is nice to have. You don't always feel so isolated when working online.

The main forum I work out of is the Money Maker Group forum or MMG forum. I am currently working with a group in the "Teambuilder Section" of the forum for the TrafficWave program. TrafficWave program supplies THE most important tool any internet marketer can have and that is an autoresponder. Any successful marketer online will have one. Come visit me at MMG and see what I do; just look for Annie.

Get your toes wet in forum marketing; it will gain your blog new exposure and you could end up making some new online friends at the same time. Yes, I know the picture of the dog has nothing to do with forum marketing, but I thought it was cute and just stuck it in there.

eBooks Available - Rebrandable

I recently came upon an awesome forum called Wonderful Web Women. This forum is jam packed with information on everything under the sun. It is not your typical money-making forum. This is a forum created by extremely successful internet professional who pass their knowledge onto you. This is a forum you want to get acquainted with if you really want to learn some new things in terms of blogging and online business in general.

One of the highlights for me in this forum are the rebrandable eBooks you can get get when you upgrade your account to gold. There are many hot-selling authors listed here (i.e. Rosaline Gardner, author of the Super Affiliate Handbook). Now, if you have read my previous post, you know I am into list building and you are probably getting a very good idea on how I can use this eBook as well as the other top sellers in this forum.

If you are not into list building and rebrandable eBooks, this forum is still a must visit. There is something in here for everybody. If you want top quality information on how to succeed online, you need to listen to the professionals; the ones who have truly succeed online. This is one forum where you can find them.

Bloggers Not List Building

The majority of bloggers are concerned about their RSS feed, their Technorati ranking, and their backlinks to obtain a great pagerank and receive potential traffic from the search engines. However, the one thing that I keep noticing is that bloggers are not list building. I come across many website owners as well who are not doing this. This is just as important as the above-mentioned factors if you plan to earn money online for the long-term.

As you know, not every reader of your blog or website is coming to take you up on your offer. It is important to offer that reader something other than asking them to sign for your RSS feed, give you a Digg, etc. in order to stay in contact with them. If you have an autoresponder embedded into your site, you can offer your readers a free eBook, a free sample, free EntreCards, etc. in order to have them submit their information to you. This is list building, and by doing so you are able to send out a newsletter or a HOT PRODUCT announcement to your subscribers. This is a great way to do business with people that would have exited your site and never looked back.

The free report I offer on this blog is actually a 13-page report that is delivered to each subscriber one page at a time over the course of 20 days. I can tell the autoresponder when to deliver and who to deliver to. I can use my WYSIWYG editor to create some great-looking sales letters. I am able to transfer subscribers from one autoresponder to another. If you are not into the appearance of an autoresponder setup on your site, you can also have people subscribe via e-mail. This is what mine would look like if I used it here anabella.DEFAULT@info.trafficwave.net

I am also able to use my autoresponder for FREE. I pay nothing for it due to the compensation program at TrafficWave. Most autoresponder programs only offer a commission program to their members, but TrafficWave offers much more so that you can actually make a long-term residual income. Many just use the TW tools and pay $17.95 a month for them and others promote them to partake in the earning opportunity.

If you are a blogger that would like to trial an autoresponder, I can offer you a free trial with the TrafficWave program. TW not only offers multiple autoresponders and WYSIWYG editor for sales letters. It also offers free ad tracking, free hosted lead capture pages, free banner advertising, and a free FFA (free for all) advertising page for you to use. It is very easy to use. To get the autoresponder embedded into this blog, all I did was copy and paste a code that TrafficWave provided me and I made sure my sales letters were all set up should anybody want my free report.

As I said above, I can offer you a free trial with the TrafficWave program for 30 days. If you do not like it and feel it is not for you, you simple unsubscribe and you are done with it. Bloggers need to list build in order to earn more in less time. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to play around with these tools and see for yourself what they can do for your online success.

If you CLICK HERE you will see a listing of the TrafficWave autoresponder features. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can click on the 30-day free trial button and get yourself set up. This doesn't cost you anything and you will have free access to the TW tools.

EntreCard Credits Contest and More - HUGE!!!

I was just doing my daily EntreCard drops and came upon one awesome contest that each and every blogger will want to take part in. This contest is being hosted by Shanker Bashi dot Com, a blogging guru who you will no doubt want to follow. He is not only offering free EntreCard credits but free advertising and more.

The EntreCard program is an advertising program where bloggers list their sites, post the EntreCard logo on their site and also display other bloggers 125 x 125 banners in exchange for cards. Can't make a 125 x 125 banner? Entrecard provides the tools for you to make your very own so there is no fear.

EntreCard offers a great bartering system for bloggers who would like to draw more attention to their blogs. EntreCard contests are just one of the ways bloggers go about doing this, and a contest being held by Shanker Bashi dot Com is something definitely to get excited about. If you do not already have an EntreCard account, you can just look to the right-hand side and you will see my logo for the program. Just click through and set up an account; it is free to join. Get in on this awesome contest and earn some free EntreCard credits or advertising. Looks like lots of fun.

Freebie Force Mania

Freebie Force Mania is breaking out. Since the re-launch of this program earlier this year, more and more people are taking interest in it. Why? Because it is THE program that is appropriate for today's economic situation. Almost everybody I know is trying to save money. If you couple that need with the desire to make additional income, you have a winner program. Enter Freebie Force.

One of my internet marketing friends is so hyped up about the program that she has actually made a decal for her car. She wants to be one of the first to introduce the program to her community, and she is on the right track. Freebie Force has recently released its second infomercial. This program will slowing be making its way into numerous communities and towns. Wouldn't you like to be the first to introduce it around your area? I sure would, and that is exactly what I am going to do. The fact that this program can be promoted online and offline is also an added benefit. How many times have you participated in a program and were locked into strictly marketing it online? Not with Freebie Force.

This save and earn program is not one to be ignored. Top internet marketer Rachel Long recently joined the program and has also been hit with Freebie Force mania. She has hit the leaderboard by sharing this program with over 600 people so far. Now, I am not a Rachel Long and I don't think too many other people are either, but the fact that this program has caught this woman's attention has got to make you sit up and want to look at it. Another top internet marketer, Val Underhill, has also got the fever. If the top internet marketers are getting involved with this program, that has to be telling you something.

Freebie Force Mania is becoming rampant. It may be time for you to catch the fever and join this explosive save and earn program by CLICKING HERE and taking a tour. Those that join for free are pre-enrollees and are able to download the Freebie Force toolbar, which entitles them to a freebie each week. Those that want to join this program, pay $9.95 via CC monthly. Is it worth it? I think so. I am saving more than I am paying out and earning some money too. You cannot go wrong with Freebie Force.

TrafficWave Profits Review

TrafficWave Profits is a program created by Valerie Underhill. This is the second program she has created, her original being the popular Marketing Pond. I have been online for a year now, and it is my opinion that Valerie Underhill is one of the most honest, shoot straight from the hip marketers you will ever come upon. The TrafficWave Profits program is free to join. In fact, all of Val Underhill's programs are free. She never charges you a penny.

I began following Val Underhill when I signed up for her
Marketing Pond program. You will be amazed with the information she reveals about online business for FREE. She just doesn't give you a little taste; she gives it all to you. She hides nothing and she knows so much. She is literally a library of knowledge in terms of online money making.

One thing I remember Val Underhill speaking to is the importance of all marketers having a core and that you extend out from that core. So what is a core? She has done that for you with her programs because she not only talks about, she creates it for you. Both the TrafficWave Profits and Marketing Pond programs are cores to programs Val has discovered online to be legit businesses. I know that every program in these core programs pays and I know that she knows the owner of these programs. This woman does not like to promote crap. She is steadfast and true to online business and really wants to help people succeed.

Val's first core program, Marketing Pond, consists of all free-to-join programs with the exception of one, and her second core program, TrafficWave Profits consists of core programs that charge a nominal fee. Now Val does not leave you high and dry when you join either one of her programs. She jam packs each one with information you need to know on how to succeed. It is up to you if you want to join a program in her core or not. There is never any fee for the information or the marketing materials she provides to you.

She has been online for a long time. She talks about when downline clubs use to be free and how they have evolved over time. She talks about traffic exchanges and how some are not what they appear to be. She really gives you the insider's scoop to some of the things you could encounter online. Val Underhill not only educates but enlightens. She knows her stuff, and I highly recommend her programs to anybody who wants to know more about making money online. Best of all, both these programs are FREE. If you want to learn from an expert, you need to listen to what Val Underhill has to say. Both the TrafficWave Profit and Marketing Pond programs cross reference each other in her core's, so if you want to learn from Val, you should start with her first program, Marketing Pond, and then move on TrafficWave Profits.

Golden Panda and ASD Cash Generator Under Investigation

Last week it was announced that the Golden Panda Ad Builder and the ASD Cash Generator programs are temporarily closed because they are being investigated by the Attorney General's office. As of this writing, both websites have been taken down, with the Golden Panda website updating a news update post. All assets have been frozen; no funds can be moved in or out of any accounts.

The Golden Panda website is posting a news update and it appears they are trying to hold conference calls with members to advise them of current events. ASD Cash Generator had sent out an e-mail the other day advising members the reason for the investigation. They report that a member had filed a complaint with the Attorney General's office as they had not received their payment as quickly as they would have liked. They go on to advise that business will resume once the investigation has been completed and do not anticipate a prolonged downtime.

The Golden Panda Ad Builder program has only been in business for 2 weeks. It has had high activity prior to launching, which potential participants waiting to obtain memberships with money in hand. I believe the Attorney General's office has investigated the ASD Cash Generator before and did not see any problems as far as I know. I would rather have these programs investigated now versus later before more and more people begin depositing funds. I am hopeful both programs will be without problems and will have their doors open for business once again shortly.

Golden Panda Has Launched and Is SMOKING

The Golden Panda Ad Builder has been running for a couple of days and the response has been unbelieveable. Over the past 24 hours there have been at least 1,000 sign-ups for this highly lucrative money-making program.

What is the Golden Panda? If you are familiar with the ASD Cash Generator program, you will know exactly what the Golden Panda. For those who do not know what it is, it is mix of concepts. It is a traffic exchange with a knock-out compensation program. I have learned there is a guy already making a thousand dollars a day with this program.

You earn with the Golden Panda Ad Builder by purchasing ad packages, which can cost as little as $10 and as high as (well, let's say pretty high). You will earn 125% return on your ad package cost by receiving a daily return of 3% on our package; so it should take about 40 days at the current rate of 3% (rate fluctuates). NOW on top of that you can receive a doubling bonus. Say for example you refer John and he buys $500 in ad packages, you are also going to receive $500 (this is a promo just for your referral's first purchase). Do the math; it adds up to a very nice picture.

The Golden Panda Ad Builder site is still being tweaked a bit but is fully operational. It may be difficult to locate some information in the website. To join this program for free CLICK HERE, and to learn about how to fund your account and more about the company you can CLICK HERE. This information is at the website, but the way the website is set up right now it can be a little difficult to locate.

Golden Panda has launched and is for sure smoking. I missed out on the ASD program, and I am not missing out on this one. I hope you join me in making a little money with this program.

Only 3 Days Left for the $10 Sign-Up Bonus

The Pepperjam Ad Network's promotional $10 Sign-Up Bonus will end in 3 days. If you have not signed with this network, you really should. This ad network was created by affiliate marketers for affiliate marketers, so they are well aware of all the ups and downs you can face when monetizing.

Of note, and this is very important, I have seen postings here and there by people that are interested to join but have not done so because they think this ad network is just for people who own websites. This is far from the truth. Bloggers are the driving force behind Pepperjam. They love bloggers.

I missed out on the $10 sign-up bonus; don't do the same. I think I have a black cloud hanging over me because I always miss out on these great deals. If you have been sitting on the fence with this one; don't waste your time. It is a great ad network. You will love it.

eBay Sellers and Bidvertiser

I have seen quite a few eBay Sellers participating in the Bidvertiser advertiser program, and I was a little surprised to learn that eBay Sellers could actually participate in PPC advertising. I guess you learn something new every day.

I have personally utilized Bidvertiser myself as an advertiser and found the program to be exceptional and very easy to use. I always obtained nice results using this program. You do not need to load your advertising account monthly; instead you can load your account daily via PayPal if you want to do so. I have run campaigns on Bidvertiser for as little as $5.00 a day for 5 cents a click. I have never been disappointed.





The only thing I suggest potential advertisers do when joining Bidvertiser is to sign through a publisher's link because you will receive benefits. If you join the program through a publisher's link you get $20 in free clicks, which really does go a long way with this program if you only want to do $5. Unfortunately, I did not join this program through a link and went directly to the site and could have kicked myself for it because I lost out on some advertising dollars.

Seeing is believing with the Bidvertiser program. You can geo-target your campaign and a lot more. Once again, it is very easy to use and the price is reasonable. It is one of my favorite pay-per-click (PPC) advertising platforms.

Money is in the List

Money is in the list. How many times have you heard that? Too many I am sure. And have you done anything about it? Have you started building your own list yet? If not, why? I am sure you have the same excuses I have -- it costs too much, it looks too complicated or I don't have the time. I have plenty of more excuses on why I have failed to start building my own list, but now that I have found the right program to do it with, all of my previous excuses look pretty lame.

Why is list building so important? How many times have you seen claims by others online that they made instantaneous money in 7 days or something close to that? I am confident you have seen it a bit. When you see this type of headline, it grabs your attention because you want to listen to an expert. You want to make that kind of money too. Now what the expert wants you to do is buy into whatever he or she is selling, but what they are not telling you is that it had nothing to do with the program they are promoting but the big HUGE list they have been building that created this wealth for them. YES -- the money is in the list and you do not need a website to start building one.

TrafficWave is the program I have come to join after much research. I joined it for the following reasons:
1. The program comes compact with autoresponders, lead capture pages, FFA pages, banners, training articles and videos, support forum and hosting service.
2. The program offers a 30-day free trial, which allows you the opportunity to use it hands on without committing to it. This is definitely where this program is a step-up above the rest because this free trial features highlights its matrix buster program.
3. You can make money with TrafficWave 2 ways -- through its commission program (called a FastTrack bonus) and create short-term and residual long-term income through its 3X10 matrix compensation program. By promoting the TrafficWave program you can not only utilize this service at no cost but can also create a nice income.

For further information on the free trial offer and to see how you can start building your own profitable list and also earn from the TrafficWave program,
CLICK HERE. Put away the excuses for why you haven't started building a list and begin making your own claims of wealth on the internet.

How To Promote an Advertising Program or Product

How do you promote an advertising program or product is a question many people online cannot figure out. When anybody attempts to make money online, you have to enter with a realistic point-of-view and that is that it takes time. You are performing a variety of job functions from researching, creating, advertising and marketing. Most people are use to performing one job function, and when faced with the challenge of performing all these tasks, it can become unbearable for some and they toss in the towel.

The internet has listed billions of websites and blogs, and I recently read that about half of the websites or blogs were abandoned by their owners in 1 year's time. Why? Maybe it was due to time constraints, maybe people can't see the whole picture on how to get it done because it is very confusing, and maybe they expected to see instantaneous results and when it was not delivered that just turned their back on their project.

Instead of just telling you how to do it, I am going to post here in this blog step-by-step of how I go about it and will also post my progress. The program I have decided to go with is going to be the Pepperjam Ad Network. Right now the Pepperjam Ad Network has a special offer for new publishers, but the promotion only runs until the end of July. For every new publisher that signs up for the program through another publisher's link, they will receive $10. So what do I get out of it? For each and every publisher I refer who gets accepted, I receive $7. I will more than likely not receive a lot of signups, if any, during the current promotion they are running, regardless, this is the program I have chosen to go with.

What I have done is sent an e-mail to Pepperjam and asked if I could take the promotion of their ad network off my blog and use alternate marketing and advertising platforms. Ad networks always support paid-per-click (PPC) advertising methods (i.e. Adsense advertising), however, I want to try to go around that first and promote this without an advertising budget. I primarily want to use free internet marketing and advertising platforms. I just lost my Adsense account 2 weeks account due to a happy clicker and want to make sure I do not utilize a promotional method that would jeopardize my Pepperjam account.

Once I receive a response from Pepperjam, I will take my first step, and that is the prep step. The prep step includes quite a bit of work, as it involves creating and planning. All comments and suggestions are more than welcome. I hope to get going on this some time this week.

Make Money with Online Gaming

Online gaming can lead to big bucks if you have a website or blog geared toward this profitable niche. Many people come online each day to play their favorite online games; some of which including betting sites. I personally got caught up in the fever a short time ago but not with card games but with other games like Bejeweled, Scrabble Cubes, Zuma, etc. In all these instances, I started off with a free trial game and when the time expired for me to make the purchase for the full version, I opted to go to a cash game instead because I desired online competition.

I never did make any money from playing these online games but figured somebody was making money off of them, and it is the owners of the game site and the affiliate link I signed up from to enter this arena that was making money off of it. This lead me to explore the online gaming niche a little further.

Online poker, Texas hold 'em, and bingo are all hot games to play online for money. My question was if I ever wanted to get into this niche, which program would I offer. After researching, I located an online gaming community that provides excellent tutorials on online games, gives gaming site reviews on the hottest gaming sites online, and is free to join. It is called the Wassonline community.



The Wassonline Community is one of the advertisers of the MoreNiche affiliate program. In addition to this online gaming community, MoreNiche also represents online casinos, such as 24kt Gold, Flamingo Club, Golden Palace, Online Casino, and Wasspoker. MoreNiche has advertisers in other niches but they do have a nice selection of online gaming advertisers if you want to enter the gaming arena.

Making money with online gaming is easy with the MoreNiche program because you do not need a website or a blog to begin. In fact, the MoreNiche program is just not for seasoned professionals but beginner affiliates because this is one affiliate program that provides the beginner with all the information, guidance and support they need in order to get going. Many affiliate programs do not do this, and it is refreshing to see that an affiliate program would take the time to actually teach people how to get into this field. It is a great learn and earn program to get you on your way to earning with online gaming.

Make Money with Pepperjam Ads

Pepperjam Ads is a program I recently joined to see what they could offer me in terms of monetization for my blog and also a website I am working on. I have joined quite a few affiliate programs over the past few weeks to review them and see if they were a fit for me. Unfortunately, you cannot always tell what a program can offer you until you are officially registered with them.

A revolution in affiliate marketing has arrived. I had heard of this network in the past but never had the opportunity to really look at them. This is one of those instances where I feel I have been running around in circles and the answer has been right in front of me all along. If you are looking for a top-notch, very well organized, easy to use, and profitable affiliate program, please stop and read this -- YOU NEED TO Join Pepperjam Network today!.



I was not really sure what to expect when I joined, and all I can say is WOW! First, you have to have a website or blog to join this program. Based on the content of your website or blog, you will be matched up with the advertisers they have listed in their ad network. Some advertisers offer CPA ads and some offer CPC ads and some offer a combination of both. The advertisers represented at Pepperjam Ads cover numerous niches; from making money, health and fitness, home and garden, etc. In other words, they have a wide variety of quality advertisers that will satisfy your monetization needs regardless of our niche.

Bloggers are the heart of the Pepperjam Ad Network, and the network is currently offering a $10 incentive for new bloggers to join the network -- that is right $10 just for getting approved and doing what you already do. In addition to the $10 new publisher sign-up bonus, they have also implemented a blogger incentive program.

If you have not joined the Pepperjam Ad Network, you are missing out a great opportunity. You will have no regrets by becoming part of the next big thing in meeting your short-term and long-term objectives.

Top 101 Blog Directories and RSS Submission Sites

I ran across a very informative blog today about blog directories and RSS submission sites and would like to make mention of it here because I often see bloggers or website owners writing about backlinks and directories. Today I was just buzzing around and came across this awesome FREE site for bloggers. The guy who writes this blog updates it weekly. Just because he is constantly on top of this blog with updates, I love it already. I can't tell you how many times I have clicked on links and they no longer work; very frustrating when you are trying to get something like this accomplished.

If you are a blogger, make sure you set aside some time to go through this blog and then roll up your sleeves to get to work. This should aid you tremendously -- http://trafficnymphomaniac.com/

Bidvertiser for Affiliate Marketers

Bidvertiser is a program that should be taken into consideration by affiliate marketers when considering PPC (pay per click) advertising. Pay per click advertising is a marketing method that needs to be utilized carefully by performing extensive keyword research prior to ad placement, and, of course, your ad copy should be written in a way that is going to get attention. However, not all advertising platforms are going to yield the same results, and you need to be careful that you are not going to go broke.

I have implemented PPC advertising in the past for one of the businesses I represent, and I was a little shocked to find that the Bidvertiser platform was one I had great success with. I not only enjoyed the results I achieved, but I also enjoyed the ease at which I could fund my acccount.

Some PPC advertising platforms will require you to load your account for the month. They will analyze your keywords and, based on your bid amounts and other factors, will come up with a suggested monthly load. If you have little money available, you need to find a way to fund your campaign, and you will more than likely use your credit card. Who really wants to do that?

With the Bidvertiser program you do not need to fund your account monthly; you can fund your account daily utilizing Paypal. This is a great thing because you can test the platform and your ad with funds you have available and not over extend yourself financially. I have used Bidvertiser for just $10 or less a day and have had nice results. Also, Bidvertiser will give you $20 in free clicks, which makes it all the more better for testing it as a PPC platform. If you haven't enrolled in the Bidvertiser advertising program,

Team Revival Does It Again

Team Revival is making headlines once again. Founder and president of the WTIA program, Rick Mathews, has once again paid compliments to the efforts of this team and its profit system not only during his weekly conference call but in his monthly newsletter. Team Revival has developed a specific reinvestment strategy that all members must follow. The program is targeted to people who are interested in making money online but who do not have a lot of time to promote a program or do not know how.

Team Revival is by far the best team effort I have seen online to date, with members grouping together to promote the program utilizing various methods. The overall goal of the team is to develop a self-sustaining program where all members will earn in the short-term and also in the long-term via residual income.

In celebration of Team Revival's succes, the leaders of the program have 2 PROMOTIONS currently running. They are as follows:

1) Any new member purchasing a WTIA membership through Team Revivial, will receive a FREE $20 feeder position (further explanation below).

2) Any member purchasing a $20 feeder position will receive a FREE feeder position; buy one get one free.

At the start of the program there were quite a few that wanted to join but did not have the funds, so a benefactor's list was created to help people in. However, in an effort to help these members come in instead of sitting and waiting, the leaders of the program worked with Rick Mathews in creating a $20 feeder program; whereby you would get a position and when your feeder position cycled out of this particular matrix, you would acquire a full WTIA position PLUS a re-entry back into the feeder. This feeder program has been a blessing for many who have wanted to participate but did not have $99 to do so. Due to its popularity, the leaders have even included it in their 2 promotions for the month of July.

Team Revival is no more than 6 weeks old and is suceeding in leaps and bounds. I am confident I will be posting a lot more about them in my blog. If you would like to learn more about this program, you can visit the team website by CLICKING HERE.

Monetizing your Blog or Website with Bidvertiser

Now that Adsense has concluded its referral program, I am curious to see what affects it will have on site owners' monetization models. I have used Bidvertiser as an advertiser with good results but never implemented it into my own website's or blog's monetization because, let's face it, Adsense is convenient. If you utilize the Blogger platform to create a blog, Adsense is already programmed in there. I believe Adsense is the most highly used monetization model there is online.



Since I had used Bidvertiser in the past as an advertiser, I had considered utilizing it for my sites but never got around to it. I am a fairly new blogger and website creator so have just utilized what was recommended or already there. However, this morning I think I saw the writing on the wall that it was time to switch; actually I have no choice.

I received a mail this morning that my Adsense account had been disabled. It appears some reader came to my blog and clicked on quite a few Adsense ads, and I am now being held liable for that user's actions by having my account disabled. Adsense encourages you to play around with ad placement, and I had utilized the ad placement in my Blogger platform by placing Adsense ads in between my postings; not a good thing to do because you could have your account disabled if some clicking happy reader enters your site. I have put in an appeals and will see what happens, but at the present time I have finally taken the Bidvertiser jump. I am doing this because I have no choice, but I am curious to see how many site owners will be doing this in the future just because of the conclusion of the Adsense referral program. I am confident many site owners rely on Adsense referral income.

One thing I definitely like about Bidvertiser is that you will be paid once your account reaches $10 via Paypal, which is a much better scenario for the beginner blogger or website owner because you can't collect on Adsense until your account reaches $100. Monetizing my website or blog with BidVertiser may be a better monetization method for me as well as others. I am being more cautious with how many text ads I place on all my sites and will see how it goes.
