Domain name flipping is the
simple process of buying a
domain name and then selling it
for more money – so what
exactly is website flipping all
about?
If you’d prefer something a little
more challenging (and potentially
a lot more profitable) then
website flipping might just be for
you. It ’s a longer process but the
time you invest in this particular
activity can net you a lot of cash.
And there is more than one way
of doing it as well, as you ’re
about to find out.
There is an ever growing band of
people who have figured out that
flipping websites is a great way to
build up skills, knowledge and an
impressive income at the same
time.
The basic idea starts with you
looking for a topic which does
well online. Once you have a
successful website on that topic
(which you ’ll do in one of the
following two ways) you can
offer it for sale to someone else.
The first way to do this is to start
from scratch by selecting a
domain name, building a website
around it and building it up until
it gets a good amount of traffic
and interest from people who are
into that subject. This can take
some time as you will need to
get the site indexed in Google
before you can take advantage of
the amount of search engine
traffic that can come your way.
The idea is to build a site that has
real money making potential, as
well as being able to generate a
good volume of traffic. You can
do this by integrating elements
such as Google Adsense, affiliate
links and paid advertising into the
site – and in some cases, paid
memberships as well.
The second route to follow is
easier – but it requires a little bit
more research on your part. If
the idea of building a site from
scratch doesn ’t appeal to you but
you still want to sell websites for
profit then this method should be
the one to try. The trick is to
look for a website that someone
has built which is getting a
reasonable amount of traffic.
Keyword research will reveal
those subject areas and keywords
which are perennially popular
online, and it is these kinds of
websites you should be looking
for – something that will always
be pulling in traffic.
The fact is that you cannot simply
pick a great domain name and
stick a few articles and affiliate
links on a website and expect it
to make money. It takes time
and effort, and that ’s why
websites which have the
potential to do really well end up
failing. It ’s not so much the site
as the owner in many cases.
So if you make a reasonable offer
to that owner for their website,
the chances are good that they
will be only too pleased to get
shot of the site. And that gives
you the chance to get in there
and really develop it in order to
build on the traffic and potential
it already has.
After a few months – when you
are earning a dollar or more
every day from your website –
you can think about selling it.
There are a number of websites
and forums that have sections for
flipping websites to other people,
and depending on the profits you
are making and the traffic you
are getting you could make
anything between a few hundred
dollars to a few thousand dollars
by flipping just one site.
And once you’ve done that and
no doubt learned a lot from the
experience, it ’s a case of ‘rinse
and repeat!’ There is no limit to
the number of websites you can
flip at any one time, although
don ’t forget you need a few
months to go by before you
make your first sale since you
need your websites to develop
before you can flip them. Once
you get the ball rolling though
you can expect to be selling one
or more every week.
But before you become a ‘pro
flipper’ for a living, why not
leave us a comment in the box
below? Then all you need to do
is start scouting round for your
very first flippable website!

MAKE MONEY FOREX TRADING
Whether you’re new to trading
or you are what’s considered a
“seasoned” trader, there is a lot
of money to be made trading
Forex markets. Although
instantly trading with real money
is not for beginners or people
that have never traded before,
you can quickly learn the ropes
with a little help and
commitment.
What is Forex Trading?
Forex trading is the buying and
selling of currencies. In much the
same way that you ’d buy and sell
stocks on the stock market,
traders exchange currencies
they ’ve purchased. If you’ve ever
traded on the stock market, you
should have no problem getting
the hang of trading Forex.
The purpose of Forex trading is
to exchange a currency that
you ’ve purchased for another
with the hopes that the price of
the newly purchased one will go
up in value. Whether you ’re new
to this or consider yourself an old
pro, you ’ll find it very exciting
and a lot of fun. The value of
currencies is always quoted in
pairs such as USD/JPY or GBD/
USD. The reason for this is
because you ’re always buying
one and selling another.
It is recommended, however,
that until you get the hang of
what you ’re doing you should set
up a “demo” account where you
may be buying and selling
currencies but they ’re fake. By
doing this, you’re learning how
it’s done and giving yourself a
chance to learn more about it
without losing real money.
Signing up for an Account
Signing up for an account is very
easy. You can register for one of
the training courses on the Forex
web site where you can
“ pretend” trade in a demo
atmosphere or you can participate
in their workshops where you ’ll
have real experts teaching you
everything you need to know
about Forex trading. You ’ll also
have webinars at your disposal
where you can watch
demonstrations of Forex trading,
take part in discussions with
beginners as well as experts in
the field. Signing up for an
account is not only fun and
exciting by the best way to learn
the ropes so you ’ll soon be ready
to begin making money trading
Forex.
Getting started is Easy
You’ll find that it’s easier than
you thought to get started. Banks
and financial institutions have
been doing it for years and now
with the internet available to
everyone, it ’s easy for you to
make money at home by trading
Forex. Because there are so
many different theories behind
trading Forex, it ’s to your
advantage to talk with someone
that knows what they ’re doing
and has participated in Forex
trading in the past.
If you don’t know anyone with
enough experience to help you,
consider signing up for some of
the online webinars and Forex
workshops. They ’re very helpful
and will take you through any
scenario you can imagine and are
available to answer any questions
you may have. You can continue
to be part of a “demo” trading
market until you’re ready to
strike out on your own with real
money. That ’s when you’ll see
how much money you can truly
make trading Forex.

How To Verify PAYPAL In Nigeria With Liberty Reserve
How To Verify PAYPAL In Nigeria With Liberty Reserve
====================================================
It is no more news that as at the time of writing this post, PAYPAL doesn't allow Nigerians to to own and operate PayPal accounts. Despite Nigeria been banned, many people have found ways of opening and verifying PayPal account in Nigeria. Today, I want to share with you a trick of verifying your PayPal in Nigeria using Liberty Reserve. Just sit back and relax....
Don't know what PayPal is or don't know what you will need to open a PayPal account, read WHAT IS PAYPAL, CAN I USE PAYPAL IN NIGERIA ?
The inability of Nigerians to legally own and operate PayPal accounts is partly responsible for our inability to leverage the enormous power of Internet marketing in Nigeria. Truth is you can actually open a normal PayPal account in Nigeria, but you will not be able to verify such account. And without a verified account, you will not be able to make or receive payment with your PayPal account. So, the crux of this article is to show you how to open as well as verify your PayPal account so that you can tap into the endless Internet business opportunities.
What does getting verified means?
To be verified means that you have successfully linked a confirmed US or any other approved country’s account to your PayPal account or that you have been approved for a PayPal Plus Credit Card or Buyer Credit Card. It helps confirm your identity and increases the overall security of PayPal system.
Step-by-step on how to open your PayPal account from Nigeria
ACCOUNT OPENING REQUIREMENT
(1) An email: A free email like yahoo email is okay.
(2) A permanent IP changer like Your-Freedom software, Ultrasurf , www.hotspotshield.com or proxy sites like: www.ninjacloak.com (Note: The use of proxy sites is not 100% safe)
Be mindful that you MUST NOT access any link that has to do with PayPal directly with Nigeria IP for safety reasons,hence you must always change your IP.
(3) A liberty reserve account: you can open that by going to http://bit.ly/7BtZYx , it is free and easy to open, and they allow all country. Contact me asap if you do not know how to fund your Liberty Reserve in Nigeria.
PREAMBLE
We are going to use a non European address and non- European Victual Visa Card in the registration and verification of the PayPal account. We shall get any non-European address that PayPal accepts their country and also get a non European virtual card from www.virtual-cc.com
(1) Go to www.virtual-cc.com , click on the card for PayPal verification and then choose non-European card.
(2) Type the amount of unit you want to buy and put your email, this is the email they are going to send the detail of your card, click on calculate price.
Then you click the link to buy the card through Liberty reserve, follow the process of paying through the liberty reserve, the card presently is $7.50, so your liberty reserve account will be charged with $7.50.
(3) In about an hour the card detail will be sent to your email. Note: you have to use this card within 24hrs.
(4) Get a non European address, look for a non-European address of a country that PayPal accepts and use it in your registration with PayPal or you can choose from my list “.
(5) Go to www.google.com type the yellow page of a non-European country that PayPal accepts e.g. china yellow page.
A list of links from google comes up; choose a link that has to do with addresses of businesses.
It will now demand that you should put the category of business address you are looking for, just type computer stores or Beauty salons etc, to give us addresses of these businesses.
Use the detail address of any of the addresses that comes up in your registration with PayPal.
You can use any of the address below; just change the number of the address so that it will not be completely identical will another person.

After the detail of the visa credit card has arrived in your email go to www.paypal.com to start your registration.
Never do anything with PayPal with an IP of a country that PayPal does not accept, so you have to use a proxy site, IP changer or anonymizer for this whole deal, you can use www.ninjacloak.com , www.skweezer.com , www.vtunnel.com .
In the search box given, type www.paypal.com and press "enter" on your keyboard.

Fill every other part of the form and click sign up at the bottom.
When you finish this session don’t go further, go straight to your email and confirm your email before coming back to put your virtual card.
You still need to do two things:
1. To confirm your email.
2. To verify your account by adding a card.
You will need to hide your IP when you are accessing your email to confirm your PayPal email because by clicking the link PayPal sent to you, you will be re-directed to PayPal website and if you don’t hide your IP when accessing your email, PayPal will discover your real IP and limitation will be placed on your account.
So, first type www.ninjacloak.com, then in the search box type the website of your email like www.yahoomail.com and then enter your email, when you get to your email, click on the email sent to you by PayPal, when you get to the email, click on confirm your email, it will demand for you password, put it and get your email confirmed.

In the space below it, type your card number and the email you used when buying the card and click on send request, you will be told that a notification when your VCC Number is ready and will be sent to your email.
Be checking your email, that notification will be sent under 30mins, after you’ve seen the notification, go back to the site www.virtual-cc.com and re-type your card number and your email and click on send request and instantly you will see something like XXXX PAYPAL the XXXX represent the 4 digit number you are looking for which would be use for your final stage of verifying your account.

Get a liberty reserve account & load it with $10. Don’t know how to load your Liberty Reserve account, contact me asap.
3. Get an IP changer or a Proxy site
4. Get a non-European virtual card via www.virtual-cc.com

This trick was curled from EHOW NAIJA and I do not give you guarantee that it will work for you as at the time you are reading this because PayPal might block this virtual credit card once they find out this trick.
More so , just know that I decided to share this article for educational purpose and will never bear any responsibility if you decide to follow this trick and later lose all the money in your PayPal account. More info on this at PAYPALSUCKS.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY SELLING PHOTOGRAPHS AS STOCK PHOTOS
If you are any good with a camera then there are people out there on the internet who may well be interested in your photos. Provided you know where to go and you know what you need to submit, you could already be sitting on a huge amount of potential revenue.
And there is nothing stopping you from taking even more pictures to suit the needs of the people looking for them, so grab your camera and your computer and get started. Read on to find out more…
If you are often online you’ll probably be aware of the existence of stock photos. These are held by a number of websites which offer them – either for free or for a fee – to anyone else who wants them. And you would be surprised at how many people do want them!
Webmasters need them for their websites; publishers need them to illustrate books, articles and courses, and some people just want to create their own screensaver from a selection of photos they particularly like.
That’s where you come in. While websites that hold stock photos already have thousands in stock, they also have thousands of visitors every day who are looking for the right shot – and yours could be the one they want.
The most important thing to remember is to read through the requirements of each website carefully before submitting anything. Some of these sites don’t pay their photographers at all so you’ll need to be sure you’ll earn something from it. Most of them also have very precise submission rules that you need to follow in order to get your pictures accepted. Don’t worry too much about these, since if you know a reasonable amount about photography they shouldn’t present too much of a problem.
Once you’ve found a website you like, you need to think about what kind of photos to send in. There may be restrictions posed by the site itself, but other than this you should think about branding yourself in some way. If you can stand out from the thousands of other photographers on the site you’ll sell more photos, so it makes sense to play to your strengths and make sure you concentrate on a particular subject area rather than trying to appeal to anyone and everyone.
If you have two strengths that you’d like to promote, the best plan can be to join two different sites and have a different username for each one. That way people won’t link the two names together and you can brand yourself as an expert wildlife photographer on one, and an expert still life photographer on the other. It also doubles your chances of making new sales!
While we are on the subject of sales, it’s a simple mathematical truth that the more photos you display on these sites, the more sales you are going to make. Aim for as many as possible but only ever submit the best photos you have, otherwise they may be rejected.
The great thing about stock photos is that people will be paying a small fee for using the photo. They are not buying it outright. What this means is that you could have two thousand photos on a particular site, make two thousand five hundred sales in a year… and still have two thousand photos available for downloading!
This makes it a great automated stream of income that will keep on coming in month after month, once you have set it up and uploaded your photos initially. All that remains for you to do is to take some more photos and add those on as and when you can.
As far as money making opportunities on the internet go, this is one of the best if you have any photographic ability. Leave us a comment below and then go and see which site you like the look of – it could be the start of something big.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY WRITING POETRY
There are many of ways to make money from writing, but poetry is certainly one of the more unlikely ones. After all, most poets struggle to make anything at all, let alone a significant amount of money from their efforts.
But if you think laterally you can actually do quite well from this branch of writing. It may never be a full time career but there are people making a nice second income from penning a few rhymes and poems every now and then.
The secret is to make sure you are writing for the right markets. Read on to find out what they are.
There is one very large market for poetry that you probably look at virtually every day, and yet most people simply don’t realize that it exists as an opportunity to make money.
The market we’re talking about is greetings cards manufacturers. After all, how many greetings cards do you see that have simple poems inside them, conveying a message to the recipient which could be funny, heart warming, emotional or joyful? If you can come up with this kind of poetry then you could be well rewarded for each one you write that ends up being accepted.
There are two ways to find the best markets to write for. Firstly you can visit your local card stores and see which manufacturers publish cards with these types of poems on them. You might know that you have more of a talent with some rather than others, so concentrate your search on the manufacturers and publishers that create the cards you feel you could write.
Make a note of the company name and then do a search on the internet to find them. This is also the best way to find other companies who you may not easily find in the stores.
Not all greetings card companies will be looking for freelance work, but those that are will often have guidelines on their websites, so print these off and read them carefully in order to stand a chance of succeeding. You might find it helpful to jot down some ideas while you are reading them, since they may be looking for specific ideas or themes that you could work on.
Companies such as these usually let you send in a batch of ideas at the same time because of the brevity of the work involved, so make sure you have several to send in and take your time over them to make sure they are the best you can do. Editing your work is very important – even on items as short as these will be – since there is a lot of competition on many occasions and even the odd change of a word here and there could make all the difference between acceptance and rejection.
Persevere with your efforts too, because it might take a few attempts before you get anything accepted. The great part of making money from your poetry in this way is that you will get to see your poems on the cards in your local store once they are published – and there is no greater reward than that!
You could also make your own cards and sell them if you have a lot of poems you would like to use that are turned down by the card companies. A lot of people will pay handsomely for hand made cards and if you feel confident enough you could even charge a premium for writing unique poems for specific people.
If this has got your creative juices running then why not start jotting your ideas down right now? You’ll find it useful to keep a notepad with you at all times for writing them down whenever they come to you – but the first thing you should write is a comment for us in the box below!

MAKE MONEY BY DOING RESEARCH FOR PEOPLE
Many people assume that they have no marketable skills that other people would want to use, but in the vast majority of cases that simply isn’t true.
You might think that because you can’t write, you can’t make any money. Not true. Can’t design or draw anything either? Not a problem.
The solution for many people is to take on simple research jobs for other people who don’t have the time to do it themselves. The word ‘research’ tends to bring to mind stuffy libraries and reams of paperwork but that isn’t the case nowadays. Thanks to the internet research can be a quick and easy task, and the fact that some people still don’t have the time to do it themselves means big money opportunities for you.
The great thing about offering up your skills as a researcher is that you don’t necessarily have to specialize in any one particular area. One client might need information on keywords that other websites use so they can determine how to structure their own site content. Someone else might want to get information about a particular subject so they can write a book about it. No matter what job or field the client is in you can be certain that they will need to research various things at different points in time, and if they don’t have time to do it themselves you can be there to do it for them – in exchange for a fee.
The key to getting work is to look in the right places. You can offer your research skills through websites such as Elance and Get A Freelancer; these sites enable you to search for jobs in specific areas, so you can look through all the research work available and only apply for those ones you feel confident about doing.
The idea is to work up gradually and take on larger jobs as and when you feel ready to do so. Smaller and easier jobs are ideal for starters when you need a bit of confidence to get going. Remember that many research jobs will be quick and easy; they aren’t offered because the person offering the work cannot do them from a capability point of view, they are offered because they simply don’t have the time.
Once you have got a few jobs under your belt you should take the time to set up a website for yourself so you can promote your research skills to a wider audience. This could bring in extra clients and you can also take the opportunity to mention work you have already done. Make sure you list some diverse jobs so that you can demonstrate your ability to do a wide range of tasks, and mention any particular areas of knowledge that you have as well.
In short, there are plenty of chances to earn some decent money in this arena, and what’s more you can fit your work in around your other responsibilities. So long as you can meet the deadlines imposed by the people wanting the work, you won’t have any problems at all.

MAKING MONEY THROUGH YOUTUBE
YouTube is one of those websites that really has taken the internet by storm. So long as you have the right equipment to shoot a home movie (and it isn’t too hard to come by without shelling out loads of cash nowadays) you stand a chance of developing an existing business or starting a new one, purely by signing up to YouTube and putting those movies online.
But that doesn’t explain what kind of videos you should be making. Well relax, because that is what you are about to find out. There is one very good way to make money using this website, you are about to find out what it is.
Let’s start by looking at YouTube as a way to bring in more business for your existing venture. If you can shoot short videos related to your business (making sure you include the URL to your website on the video itself) you can expect to receive more traffic to your website and hopefully more customers as a result.
Let’s say for example you run a website which sells all kinds of craft items. So you might make a video showing people how to make their own home made cards. They would then check out your website to see what you sell. This process can be duplicated no matter what kind of business you have.
The key is to think visually. It’s no good simply sitting in front of a camera telling people about something – you need to show them as well. Always remember this when you are thinking of ideas for videos – you will get a better response to them if you do.
In this sense you aren’t making money directly from YouTube; rather, you are using it as a way to make money elsewhere. It is a great tool for attracting attention and funneling people off the site. You cannot actually tout for business directly on the site anyway, so you are better off focusing on how you can get the attention of people whom you could sell to. Once you figure out how to do that, they will be more than happy to check out your website to see what you offer.
But what if you don’t already have a business to promote? Well, there are a number of people who have been successful in promoting affiliate opportunities on the site – again by inserting the relevant web address on the video itself (if you go on YouTube you will see this appearing time and time again as a kind of watermark effect) and either posting a video that is free for anyone to use and post, or by making their own. Again, so long as you post something that is relevant to what you are selling you should get a decent amount of traffic flowing to your website.
It might take a short while to get used to how uploading videos to YouTube works (particularly if you haven’t done it before) but once you have done a couple you will get the hang of it. More importantly you will have found another stream of income to add to your internet marketing arsenal of ideas!
One final point – be original. You can choose copyright free videos, but if you can make a fairly decent one yourself, why not try and attract more attention with that?

HOW TO MAKE MONEY THROUGH AMAZON
You may not realize it but there are a number of ways you can cash in with Amazon.com. The way you choose as being the best one for you will largely depend on what you are already doing, and that’s where this particular blog comes in.
By doing this you will find that you can take advantage of the sheer amount of traffic and respectability that this website commands all over the world. It’s a lot like eBay in this respect – a lot of the hard work is done for you.
One of the best things about Amazon is that everyone can make some money with it if they want to, because it has a number of options to choose from. You will no doubt have heard about the Advantage program, which is ideal if you already have published books (no matter whether they are self published or through a conventional publisher) as you can get them listed on Amazon by following the instructions they give you in the Advantage program. This method also enables you to use On Demand publishing to minimize the risk of self publishing stacks of books that may not be sold.
But there is a lot more to Amazon than that. If affiliate marketing is more up your street, then take a look at their Associates program, which allows you to recommend customers to various products in order to make sales on them. The program is very well put together and as you would probably expect from such a major site there is a lot of information to read through as well.
Once you have signed up for free, you should make the effort to explore everything the site offers you. You will see that you can create banners, ads and much more to enhance your site – and this even extends to the colors you pick for your ads.
But one area you should definitely look at is the potential to create what they call an aStore. There are examples of these given on Amazon itself, and while they are quite basic in nature they do allow you to create web pages that are centered around a particular theme. So for example if your website is about golf, you can create an aStore which is stocked with the best books on golf and golfing.
This can be linked to from your main website or blog, giving an extra dimension to your site and giving you the opportunity to make more money from it as a result.
You can also select which colors you wish to use for these pages (you can build many more than just one!) so it will look exactly the same as your main website. You will need a website to join the program and they will vet it to make sure it is suitable for inclusion (but don’t worry, most are – it’s only the obvious types of exclusions that will apply) but this doesn’t even have to be one you pay for; people have got in by having a well constructed page or site from a free provider.
There is the potential to make a lot of money from the Associates program in particular, and it’s great to use if you have a whole range of websites since you can take advantage of the wide range of products they stock – it’s not just books and DVDs!
So if you are looking for a way to monetize the site or sites you have now, hotfoot it to Amazon and sign up for free. It is one of the best ways to start making some money by offering quality products at great prices.

MAKE MONEY THROUGH WRITING WEB CONTENT AND ARTICLE
What is the one thing that everyone is looking for when they go online? You’ve got it – information. And if you can supply it in all kinds of shapes and forms then you will be paid for doing so, which could lead to a whole new career as a web writer.
Of course it isn’t just online markets that need content; there are hundreds of other markets you could break into as well, including magazines, but overall it is the internet which offers the best opportunities, especially for the beginning writer.
So why should you start online when you want to earn money writing? The reason is simple – it isn’t just editors that need your work. Website owners, people with newsletters that need writing and countless others all have writing jobs that they can’t or won’t do or don’t have the time to do themselves.
That generally sends them scurrying to websites like Elance and Get A Freelancer to find people who will write the articles and content they need for them. There are plus points and negative points to writing for the internet; you won’t often see your work published under your own name as you will usually be ghostwriting it for someone else, but you will get a lot of work since jobs quite often come in batches. You won’t often get just a single article to write for instance – you might get a half dozen, ten, twenty or even more, so the money can soon mount up.
The best places for finding work are the aforementioned sites, but you should also look on classified ad sites such as Craigslist for jobs in your own country and in other places around the world. There are also plenty of writing related websites that can easily be found via the search engines if you look for ‘online writing jobs’ or something similar. Don’t forget blogging jobs as well; if you have your own blog then you already have experience in blogging, so apply for as many as you can. Ongoing blogging jobs are great for bringing in a regular stream of income.
Getting started and building contacts is the hardest part. Go for jobs you feel confident in doing to begin with; after a while you will pick up speed and complete them faster and much more easily. You will soon learn to juggle your work as well in order to meet all your deadlines before they fall due – this is an essential skill you will need to develop in order to position yourself as one of the best in the business.
You could also work for a ghostwriting team if you prefer; these can also be found via the search engines and a simple email should reveal whether they are accepting new writers at any time. This can make life easier since you don’t have to go looking for work all the time – it is generally supplied by the team leader, depending on how that particular team works.
But can you really make a full time income by doing this? The answer is yes you can, but speed and quality are of the essence. If you produce good work then people will naturally come back to you for more of the same. They will also pay more for work of a better standard, so make sure you don’t put yourself down with the $2 an article crowd.
It will take time to build up enough work to be able to leave your current job and start a brand new career as a web writer, but there is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do this if you persevere and keep checking the classified ad sites and job boards every single day. Don’t wait to apply for jobs either – do it as soon as you see them appear. Getting in early can make all the difference in some cases.
So do you think you have it in you to be a writer? If you do there is a huge market out there just waiting for you to dive in. Just remember where you came from, and leave us a comment by using the form below before you go and begin your new career!

So why should you start online when you want to earn money writing? The reason is simple – it isn’t just editors that need your work. Website owners, people with newsletters that need writing and countless others all have writing jobs that they can’t or won’t do or don’t have the time to do themselves.
That generally sends them scurrying to websites like Elance and Get A Freelancer to find people who will write the articles and content they need for them. There are plus points and negative points to writing for the internet; you won’t often see your work published under your own name as you will usually be ghostwriting it for someone else, but you will get a lot of work since jobs quite often come in batches. You won’t often get just a single article to write for instance – you might get a half dozen, ten, twenty or even more, so the money can soon mount up.
The best places for finding work are the aforementioned sites, but you should also look on classified ad sites such as Craigslist for jobs in your own country and in other places around the world. There are also plenty of writing related websites that can easily be found via the search engines if you look for ‘online writing jobs’ or something similar. Don’t forget blogging jobs as well; if you have your own blog then you already have experience in blogging, so apply for as many as you can. Ongoing blogging jobs are great for bringing in a regular stream of income.
Getting started and building contacts is the hardest part. Go for jobs you feel confident in doing to begin with; after a while you will pick up speed and complete them faster and much more easily. You will soon learn to juggle your work as well in order to meet all your deadlines before they fall due – this is an essential skill you will need to develop in order to position yourself as one of the best in the business.
You could also work for a ghostwriting team if you prefer; these can also be found via the search engines and a simple email should reveal whether they are accepting new writers at any time. This can make life easier since you don’t have to go looking for work all the time – it is generally supplied by the team leader, depending on how that particular team works.
But can you really make a full time income by doing this? The answer is yes you can, but speed and quality are of the essence. If you produce good work then people will naturally come back to you for more of the same. They will also pay more for work of a better standard, so make sure you don’t put yourself down with the $2 an article crowd.
It will take time to build up enough work to be able to leave your current job and start a brand new career as a web writer, but there is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do this if you persevere and keep checking the classified ad sites and job boards every single day. Don’t wait to apply for jobs either – do it as soon as you see them appear. Getting in early can make all the difference in some cases.
So do you think you have it in you to be a writer? If you do there is a huge market out there just waiting for you to dive in. Just remember where you came from, and leave us a comment by using the form below before you go and begin your new career!
HOW TO MAKE MONEY THROUGH MYSPACE
If you are already a member of MySpace you will know that they don’t exactly take kindly to people promoting their wares on the website. But if that’s the case, how do you make money by using the site?
The answer is simple – you do it subtly and in a way that will naturally encourage people to follow what you are saying and go elsewhere to find out more.
The key to success is to build a profile that tells people who you are and what you are about – which will brand you as an expert in a particular area and get you remembered for all the right reasons when you want to promote your affiliate links online.
So what do you get when you join MySpace? First and foremost you get a space of your own to tell the world who you are. It’s a good idea to look up some other random pages by other people to see how they use theirs, particularly if they are internet marketers who have ulterior motives for joining this social networking site.
You will get your own MySpace URL that can be promoted elsewhere, but the most important section of your profile page is the About Me section, as this is your chance to tell people what your interests are. If you are promoting products in a particular niche topic, make sure your profile is relevant to that niche in order to be seen as something of an expert. If you do this people will remember you and be more interested in seeing what you have to say when they need information on that topic.
If you have a presence elsewhere online – a blog, a website, and any other social networking sites that maybe aren’t quite so strict about not promoting your business as MySpace is – make sure you include them in your links section. This will encourage more traffic to flow between all your web presences, and you’ll start to make more sales as a result.
You can also make good use of the blog you get on MySpace; the great thing about this is that you can include hyperlinks (clickable links) to other websites. Again, you don’t want to be trying to sell directly off this but you could set up a page on Squidoo – a site that welcomes the idea of making money from a free web page, and you’ll find out more about it in a later post – or promote affiliate links or products on your own website that you can link into.
I’m sure you can see by now that the way to make money from having an account with MySpace is to do so indirectly. Before you post anything new to your MySpace page or blog, ask yourself if you are blatantly advertising or doing so in a more subtle way. There is no reason why you can’t recommend your own website that is packed full of information on your specialist subject and hopefully make some sales off there as a result.

MAKE MONEY THROUGH BUILDING YOUR OWN FORUM COMMUNITY
This isn’t one of the most obvious ways to make money online, which is precisely why it is something of an untapped market for generating an income from.
There are plenty of subjects you could tap into for building a worthwhile forum – all you need to do is choose one that you already have a good deal of knowledge in. Alternatively you could add one to a site you have now, which can be an excellent way of monetizing your existing traffic.
A forum or community is also an excellent way of providing more value for your visitors. They have a reason to return to your website because they know there will be regular fresh content on there. That same fact will also mean the search engine spiders will tend to visit your site more often too, which can eventually result in a higher ranking.
Want to know more? Read on!
Building a forum or community can take a bit of effort initially, but there are a lot of rewards to be had. It might also be a lot cheaper than you think, since there are plenty of providers who will let you have the software and hosting you’ll need completely free of charge. Have a good look round the internet to see which ones appeal to you the most before deciding.
That’s all very well, but how do you actually make money from this?
Well it does depend on the subject of the forum, but you can charge a fee for people to gain access to it if you provide them with decent information and there is something worth gaining for the money. Some news related sites charge a fee for access which encourages people to visit the site on a daily basis, but obviously your site might be on a completely different subject altogether.
You could also think about building a community or forum where basic membership is free, but in order to get access to premium features you would need to pay a small monthly fee. This strategy often gets a better take up rate as people get the chance to sample what the site is like before deciding whether or not to pay the extra money. A good example of this (albeit one on a large scale) is the Second Life virtual reality site, where membership is free but in order to take part on a larger scale and gain access to better features you need to pay the monthly amount stipulated.
You can see that it’s a good idea to do your homework before getting involved with anything like this, because you want to make sure your paid membership options are desirable enough to bring in the customers. If you end up giving your subscribers something they can get elsewhere at no cost whatsoever, then there is no reason for them to carry on subscribing with you. That’s a good point to bear in mind when you get started; if your subscriber drop out rate seems rather high, you might need to reconsider what you are offering.
Some people also offer membership only websites which have a members’ only forum as part of the overall package. These are usually based around a popular subject but go into it in more depth and offer unique content that can’t be found anywhere else.
For example, there is plenty of content out there about writing and selling e-books, but there is at least one person offering a members’ only site that goes into the whole process step by step, sharing their own success of writing and selling e-books in an in-depth fashion. This is the kind of format you want to aim for.
So if you have some ideas on creating a forum, community or members’ only site of your own, why not start making steps towards making them a reality? You might find those ideas hold a monthly income for you that you only need to start tapping into.

MAKING MONEY IN NETWORK MARKETING
It has been said that 10% of new millionaires in the US over the past ten years have done it by building businesses through network marketing.
Even well known authors and business people such as Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad), Donald Trump (Trump University) and Tony Robbins (Robbins Institute) have all stated that Home Based Businesses and particularly network marketing, direct sales and MLMs will be the biggest growth industry of the next decade.
The highly respected Forbes Magazine forecast that an incredible 79,000,000 new home based businesses would start over the next three years. That’s over 500,000 a week – and just in the U.S.
Now that’s certainly not to say that the MLM business model suits everybody. There is always a rather large drop out or failure rate, but then that holds true for pretty much any business, online, offline, MLM or whatever. Most Businesses do tend to fail in their first 4 years, but out of the tens of millions that are started each year, there are plenty that do succeed.
Entrepreneur Magazine estimates that the US home-based business industry may be worth over $420 billion a year; that’s more than pharmacy; food; and consumer goods combined; with an average home office household earning of 65,000 US dollars a year.
With increasing financial uncertainty; job lay-offs and a shift in thinking to create a better lifestyle, home based businesses as either an additional part-time income or replacement of primary income can only grow massively over the coming years.
So exactly what does it take to succeed with a network marketing business. Most experts tend to agree on the following attributes:
1. You must be prepared to “network” with likeminded people. People who join network marketing companies and do nothing never get anywhere. The only way to succeed is to get involved and build your business. Now this doesn’t mean you have to become a leech to your friends and family and sell them stuff, or join them up. On the contrary, most successful MLMs run proper businesses, they learn the value and develop the skills needed to generate quality leads to their business. People who are already looking for the products or services they are selling and offer their products.
2. You must have some marketing knowledge, or be prepared to learn some. The internet has been a godsend for people looking to generate leads to any type of business. Gone are the days when you had to run newspaper, classifieds, radio ads or letter box drops in order to generate leads. Nowadays anyone looking for pretty much anything is looking online. So all you need to do is know how to get your message in front of the people who are already looking for it. Most good network marketing companies offer some kind of basic level marketing support, but it’s always a good idea to seek out those who are willing to go the extra mile and teach you everything you need to succeed.
3. You must be prepared to do some real work. A lot of people join network marketing companies looking to “get rich quick”. But the reality is, most of them are not prepared to do the work it takes to be successful. Yes there is a lot of money to be made in network marketing, but it’s not a sure thing, you still have to work hard, especially at the beginning if you want your business to take off. (just like you do in any business venture, or anything else worth doing for that matter)
4. Believe in the products you are selling. This should be obvious, but needs to be said anyway, make sure you choose a company who sell products that you actually believe in, use and are happy to recommend other people use. To be success in your business you are going to be spending quite a bit of time talking about your products, so make sure it is something you can relate to and get excited about selling.
So if that sounds like you, then perhaps you have what it takes to build a successful network marketing business.
So the only question you have to ask yourself now, is which company will you join…

HOW TO MAKE MONEY THROUGH CLICKBANK
ClickBank is just about the biggest website on the internet today as far as affiliates are concerned. If you want to make money online but you don’t have a product of your own to promote, what better solution could there be than to promote someone else’s in exchange for a slice of the profits?
ClickBank is a no brainer if you want to get started on no cash at all, and you have your choice of products to promote as well. It’s also a great chance to experiment a little and get to know what niches are profitable and which ones have the best products that you make the most sales on.
As far as an introduction to affiliate marketing goes, the best place to head to is definitely ClickBank…
Affiliate accounts are free at ClickBank, and once you have got yours you will need to take a look at the huge number of opportunities you have to promote products – mostly e-books – to your chosen audience.
Now you might be wondering how you can do this without having a website of your own or a blog you are hosting yourself, but all you need to do is get a free web page (or in fact as many as you like) from Squidoo. Check out the separate blog entry on that very subject to see how you can combine the two for maximum benefits.
If you do have a site of your own you can easily promote ClickBank products to your existing audience by searching for items that are likely to appeal to them. Use the search facility on ClickBank to help narrow down the number of products to sort through, and pick an appropriate category as well, to make sure you find the most suitable items.
You will get a dedicated link (called a hoplink) that will ensure you get a portion of the proceeds if someone clicks through to buy a product you have recommended. You can cloak this if you wish for extra security on your part by visiting one of the many free shortened URL sites online today.
The best way to profit from ClickBank is to focus on providing more than just an affiliate link for your customer to click on. The idea is to almost pre-sell the product before they even reach the sales page. You really need to be able to recommend it to them by stirring up some enthusiasm first.
A lot of affiliates get to the stage where they build a free web page (on Squidoo) or even a whole website on a specific subject, and write (or have someone else write) material that the visitors will find useful and interesting. In this way you are building a relationship with your visitors and projecting an image of someone that can be trusted and who knows a bit about what they are saying. It’s ironic really, but if you come across as an affiliate people will assume you are just out to make money and won’t even take a second look at the sales page you are trying to send them to – even if that product is really worth looking at.
Less is more when you are an affiliate trying to make money from ClickBank, and the more you remember that the more sales you are likely to make over time.
The good thing is that no matter how many different products you can promote, all your earnings will go straight into the same account, ready to be paid to you once you hit your payment threshold.
The best way to start with ClickBank is to find your way around the site and get to know how it works. Once you have done that start researching a few choice niches and develop things from there. Slowly but surely you will start to see results.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH AFFILIATE MARKETING
How would you like to earn a little extra cash each month? Or even replace your income, working less to make more money… Think its a pipe dream? well, think again.
Most people know that there are millions of dollars being spent every single day purchasing products and services online. But did you know that you could be earning a % on every sale made by simply referring and recommending the products that you like to people.
It’s one of the best ways to get started making money online – you don’t need a website, you don’t need a blog, you don’t even need any cash to get started, although these things can help, you can certainly start without them. By helping consumers research and choose products they already want to buy, which could be as simple as writing a 500 word article (just like this one) you could be earning a nice little second income.
Or if you want to take it a little more seriously, you can earn a full income, even more than most “real world” jobs pay.
I personally make a full time living through affiliate marketing, and have been doing it now for about 5 years. Working from home, choosing the hours to suit my lifestyle, and making a lot more than I ever made working 60 hours a week in a job I hated.
But if you really want to achieve some success with affiliate marketing you need a plan that will get you the level of income you want. A lot of people I speak too love the “Idea” of making money online, they usually ask me a million questions, and tell me how serious they are, how they are going to go home and get stuck into it, read all the stuff I recommend and get started asap.
But then most of them never actually follow through on any of it. Then 6 months later I will see them again, some will avoid the topic completely, while others tell me again how serious they are, and they are really going to do it “this time”.
It’s pretty ammusing for me, watching people make up excuses as to why they havnt done anything.
Personally I don’t really care if they do it or not, it doesn’t effect me at all. Although it would be nice to have more friends who arent working all week to play golf with and take the boat out. But other than that, it makes no difference to me.
I don’t really understand it though, I believe its the perfect business, think about it, you can make as much money as you like, your income is a direct result of the amount of effort you put in. You can work whatever hours you like. (Which is very few when you have been doing it for a few years) Plus you can do it from anywhere you can plug in a laptop. So if you like to Holiday or travel around the world, its the perfect business.
But how do you get involved?
The best place to start is by going to a website that houses a wide range of affiliate products. This keeps everything together in one easy to access place and gives you plenty to explore. You can also get an idea of which particular areas you would like to concentrate on. The worst thing you can do in affiliate marketing is to use the scattergun approach.
This is when you try and promote a wide range of products that aren’t connected with each other, all from a single website. In essence it isn’t aimed at anyone – and you’ll make fewer sales as a result.
Instead, do some research and come up with a specific group of people that you can find a wide range of products for. Or find a particular problem that people are searching online for solutions too, and direct them to the solution. Not only do you stand a much better chance of making a sale, But people will actually thank you for helping them find a solution, and be more than happy that you got paid to help them.
But if you don’t have a website, how can you promote your products?
There are several ways of doing this. One of the best is to use article directories like EzineArticles.com or Web 2.0 sites like Squidoo.com, which allow you to build web pages for free on pretty much any subject you like. Once these get indexed by Google and you do a little promotion for them, then you’ll start getting a steady stream of traffic – if you’ve picked the right topics and search terms to target.
At the beginning I mentioned the need to have a plan to reach the level of income you want. Not many affiliates actually do this and it’s one of the main reasons why more people aren’t making a lot of money with affiliate marketing. It’s certainly not because the potential isn’t there – it’s because they don’t plan to take advantage of it in the right way.
You should always look at how much you will get by way of commission for each product. Obviously the less the commission, the more units you will need to sell to achieve your desired income. You’ll achieve this through a balance of products obviously, but it’s worth bearing in mind.
You also need to think about the type of people you are marketing to. What kind of income do they bring in? How much are they likely to want to spend on the products you’ll be offering? If you don’t match these two aspects up properly you will struggle to make any real sales.
It’s also helpful to set short, medium and long term goals to help keep things in perspective. A short term goal might be to sell five products a week continually, for example. A long term goal could be to make $100,000 a year from affiliate marketing. Goals will help you to decide where you want to go with your fledgling affiliate marketing business.
Another important point to be aware of is that it’s wise to protect your income wherever you can. What I mean by this is that affiliate links can be rather obvious at times, and some people will actually delete your link and go into the site and buy something while denying you the commission.
The easy way to prevent this is to simply buy a domain for each product you are going to promote, and redirect it to the affiliate offer. There are plenty of free tools that do this for you online, and it’s really the safest way to protect your interests. It also changes a long ugly link into a nice short one – much nicer for the article directories!
Affiliate marketing is like any other business, once you start generating some income, then you can start to invest some of that money back into your business to ensure you enjoy ongoing growth.
In short, start slowly and keep those visions of a huge income in perspective to begin with. You’ll soon get to know your way around the business and with each new experience you can build your knowledge and earn even more in the months and years to come.
When I was first starting out, I learnt the basics by purchasing a few books and e-books on the topic, but mostly it was left to trial and error. I had to make a lot of mistakes in order to find a few good ideas that worked and made money.
Fortunately these days there are some really good resources available for people looking to learn this business. So if you’re serious about becoming an affiliate marketer, check out some of the resources on this page.
The most important thing to do though, is to just get started, do something right now, then follow it up tomorrow with something else… Try and do something every day towards your goal, don’t put it off for a single day, and before you know it, you will have a nice steady stream of profits coming in.
Too many of the people I talk to, put things off until they have more time, but then they forget, and never end up getting started at all. So commit to yourself, take some action and get started today.
Most people know that there are millions of dollars being spent every single day purchasing products and services online. But did you know that you could be earning a % on every sale made by simply referring and recommending the products that you like to people.
It’s one of the best ways to get started making money online – you don’t need a website, you don’t need a blog, you don’t even need any cash to get started, although these things can help, you can certainly start without them. By helping consumers research and choose products they already want to buy, which could be as simple as writing a 500 word article (just like this one) you could be earning a nice little second income.
Or if you want to take it a little more seriously, you can earn a full income, even more than most “real world” jobs pay.
I personally make a full time living through affiliate marketing, and have been doing it now for about 5 years. Working from home, choosing the hours to suit my lifestyle, and making a lot more than I ever made working 60 hours a week in a job I hated.
But if you really want to achieve some success with affiliate marketing you need a plan that will get you the level of income you want. A lot of people I speak too love the “Idea” of making money online, they usually ask me a million questions, and tell me how serious they are, how they are going to go home and get stuck into it, read all the stuff I recommend and get started asap.
But then most of them never actually follow through on any of it. Then 6 months later I will see them again, some will avoid the topic completely, while others tell me again how serious they are, and they are really going to do it “this time”.
It’s pretty ammusing for me, watching people make up excuses as to why they havnt done anything.
Personally I don’t really care if they do it or not, it doesn’t effect me at all. Although it would be nice to have more friends who arent working all week to play golf with and take the boat out. But other than that, it makes no difference to me.
I don’t really understand it though, I believe its the perfect business, think about it, you can make as much money as you like, your income is a direct result of the amount of effort you put in. You can work whatever hours you like. (Which is very few when you have been doing it for a few years) Plus you can do it from anywhere you can plug in a laptop. So if you like to Holiday or travel around the world, its the perfect business.
But how do you get involved?
The best place to start is by going to a website that houses a wide range of affiliate products. This keeps everything together in one easy to access place and gives you plenty to explore. You can also get an idea of which particular areas you would like to concentrate on. The worst thing you can do in affiliate marketing is to use the scattergun approach.
This is when you try and promote a wide range of products that aren’t connected with each other, all from a single website. In essence it isn’t aimed at anyone – and you’ll make fewer sales as a result.
Instead, do some research and come up with a specific group of people that you can find a wide range of products for. Or find a particular problem that people are searching online for solutions too, and direct them to the solution. Not only do you stand a much better chance of making a sale, But people will actually thank you for helping them find a solution, and be more than happy that you got paid to help them.
But if you don’t have a website, how can you promote your products?
There are several ways of doing this. One of the best is to use article directories like EzineArticles.com or Web 2.0 sites like Squidoo.com, which allow you to build web pages for free on pretty much any subject you like. Once these get indexed by Google and you do a little promotion for them, then you’ll start getting a steady stream of traffic – if you’ve picked the right topics and search terms to target.
At the beginning I mentioned the need to have a plan to reach the level of income you want.

MAKING MONEY THROUGH TWITTER
How to Make Money through
Twitter
Every time we turn around
we ’re hearing about another
social networking site offering
users unlimited possibilities.
Twitter is just such a site. Twitter
is a very popular site that ’s
gaining more popularity every
day. Members are constantly
“ tweaking” their friends, family
members and even work
associates! It seems like almost
every one of all ages has a
Twitter account today and many
are making money doing it. Yes,
you can make money with
Twitter. Join the thousands of
others that are doing that very
thing. While you won ’t become a
millionaire overnight, Twitter
offers you a great chance to earn
some real cash!
Twitter Offers Many Money-
Making Opportunities
There are several ways you can
make money with Twitter.
Before you can begin making
money on Twitter, you will need
lots of contacts the better. It ’s
been shown that Twitter users
are getting as many as 20,000
followers within just the first
month or two of joining. Imagine
if you made a sale to just 1% of
these followers: you ’d have sold
to 200 people. The opportunities
to make money are endless with
Twitter. So make as many friends
as you can on Twitter and
develop a good trusting
relationship with these users.
The more Twitter friends you
make, the better your
opportunity to make money.
Become an Affiliate on Twitter
Affiliate marketing is a great way
to make money online while
doing very little in the way of
work. Most online companies
offer an affiliate program to
anyone interested. Find a
company that offers affiliate
marketing (it will be on the
bottom of their website). Sign up
and wait to hear from them.
They ’ll check out your Twitter
page and make sure it offers
good opportunities for sales. Once
they’ve accepted you as an
affiliate, you’re all set to go.
Put up an attractive ad for the
business and promote it to all
your followers. The more of your
followers you can get to purchase
the product, the more money
you ’ll make. Since Twitter is such
a large social networking site, the
possibilities just keep getting
bigger and bigger. Some
companies will even pay if a
person just clicks on the ad
without making a sale, although
these are rarer. Affiliate
marketing is a very popular way
to make money and if you have
a Twitter page anyways (who
doesn’t?), you may as well make
some money at the same time.
Make Money on Twitter with
RevTwt
RevTwt is a platform that deals
with CPC (cost per click) and
allows you to make money from
your tweets. For those unfamiliar
with Twitter, tweets are
messages and posts you put on
your Twitter page.
Sign up for an account with
RevTwt and they ’ll check out
your Twitter profile. After doing
this, they ’ll allow you to put ads
for different products or services
on your Twitter page. Each time
someone clicks on these ads, you
can make money.
As you can see, there’s a lot of
money to be made off of Twitter
but the key is to get as many
followers as possible so make all
the friends you can!

HOW TO MAKE MONEY THROUGH FACEBOOK
How To Make Money through
Facebook
If you haven’t heard of Facebook
by now, you must be one of the
few people on the planet who
hasn’t. It’s one of the biggest
social networking sites on the
internet, and as such it offers a
great way to get in touch with
like minded people who have
similar interests to you.
But while many social
networking sites don ’t
particularly like blatant
advertising on their pages,
Facebook doesn’t fall into that
group. There are ways and
means to do most things online,
and with Facebook the answer is
in attracting the right kind of
people to your profile page.
There is one other main feature
that makes Facebook well worth
looking at for making money
though, and that will be revealed
if you read the rest of this entry.
Once you have signed up to
Facebook your first step should
be to think about how you want
to present yourself. I say that
because you don ’t have to be
yourself in order to make money
from Facebook. Don ’t forget that
you want to attract the attention
of a specific group of people here,
so that you become known as
someone who is something of an
expert on one particular subject.
So choose wisely!
Go for a popular niche that you
have an interest in yourself, and
develop your persona in that
area. If you already have
something of a web presence in
this area then you ’ll find it will
help you as more and more
people become aware of who you
are and what you know about.
Your first port of call, if you have
anything second hand to sell
which is related to your niche, is
the Marketplace. It ’s free to place
ads in the Marketplace and there
is no limit on how many you can
place, so if for example you come
across a bargain lot of books on
your subject on eBay or at a yard
sale you can list them all
individually on Facebook and sell
them on for a profit.
If you have a budget to spend on
advertising and you have some
external websites you want to
promote, you can try out the
Social Ads to see what benefits
you get from them. It is well
worth reading through the
relevant help section to see what
is involved though, as it is quite
in depth.
The main benefit to being a
member of Facebook is that you
can build and use any number of
applications to perform certain
tasks on your profile page.
Facebook doesn’t frown at users
making money from their
Facebook page, and indeed many
people link in to other websites
outside of Facebook itself. People
are constantly building new
applications and many of them
are used by many different users
to create pages that appeal to
their own particular needs.
This is partly why you will
succeed in making more money
from Facebook if you brand
yourself carefully before you get
started on the site. Figure out
what it is you want to do and
what you want to achieve. If you
already have a website up and
running then you will be able to
link into that, so keep the look
and feel of your Facebook page in
the same vein as your site.
But while you can link to other
sites outside of Facebook, some
people also sprinkle some affiliate
links on their actual Facebook
page itself. For example, some
quick research revealed one
person who links into a range of
ClickBank products on their page
and does well from doing so.
So long as you start from a strong
position with a particular focus
and brand in mind, you can do
well by experimenting with all
the benefits that Facebook offers.
Take time to build up a network
of friends and make sure you
become known for being an
expert in your particular sphere
of interest.
