JOIN BIDVERTISER

I recently joined BidVertiser, a site-targeted marketplace where you can be an advertiser or publisher (bloggers like me). I have enlisted my other website and this one. So far, I have earned $1.04 for my other site, coz the average click is $0.10. Imagine that if you've got thousands of visitors and all of them click your bidvertiser - whoa, lots of money! Don't want to compute now - but with more hardwork, i will get there for sure.

Anyways, BidVertiser has also a referral program and I reckon the pay-out is very good. Here is their referral pay-out, which I think is great:

• When a user signs as an advertiser and first spends $10, they will credit your account with $5. When that same advertiser spends $50, you will be credited with an additional $20.
• When a user signs as a publisher and first earns $10, they will credit your account with $10. When that same publisher earns $50, you will be credited with an additional $40.

And what's more exciting about Bidvertiser? The minimum pay-out is only $10 to be deposited to your paypal and there's no restriction on how many number of ads you place on your site. Isn't that exciting? So what are you waiting for? Join Bidvertiser now by clicking the button below:

4 secrets to earn more in Google Adsense

Ok, so google search is now my new bestfriend since i am doing lots of googling about Adsense. Based on what i've read, there are 4 simple secrets to earn those dollars through Adsense. So here are the basic tips to succeed in Google Adsense

• CONTENT - In the first place, if you don't have no blog entries, why did you have a blog afterall? The more the merrier? Nope, that does not apply in blogging. Writing a few EXCELLENT articles, rather than a bunch of crap articles (hmm, now i'm learning).

• KEYWORDS - heard about SEO or search engine optimization?

• ADS - where do you put the ads

• TRAFFIC - people, reader!!! need i say more? the more the traffic, more impressions, more clicks, more money!!!
  

Ooops, I think i almost forgot the most important secrets -- commonsense and time!!!Am i right or what? Now I got to work harder on that common sense. LOL

HOW MUCH DO YOU EARN FROM ADSENSE?

Google adsense is definitely a must in your site if you want to earn some dollars on the side. Although, novice bloggers earn just a meager cents for their first few months of existence in the WWW, like me, it is very encouraging to see people actually earning money through Adsense.

Like Ashley Qualls, i talked about my last entry. There are numerous other bloggers out there who are earning decent amount from adsense. Hence, starting with this post, I just wanna ask you how much do you earn from Adsense? I'll started this out, as of today, after signing with Adsense since September, i already earned $1.81. Yeah, i know it's still small, but I am very optimistic, my earnings would increase in due time. :D

Who wanna go next?

$70,000 Adsense Earnings of Ashley Qualls

I've seen her story from yahoo.com, and now countless sites (including mine) and lots of tv appearances are making this young girl from Detroit a celebrity in her own right. So who is Ashley Qualls?

She's a 17 year old teener who owns the site Whateverlife.com that offers free Myspace layout. At the young age of 9, she was already learning basic web design. In 2004, from the $8 she borrowed from her mom to pay for a host and domain, she applied her knowledge of HTML to building Whateverlife.com. Now her site is a multi-million earner, and earning for her a whopping $70,000 a month from Google Adsense!!!

According to Google adsense analytics, her site receives 7 million visitors and 60 million page views a month. That's more traffic the AmericanIdol.com and Oprah.com get. Her audience is larger than teenage magazines like Seventeen, Teen Vogue, and Cosmogirl, all combined!!!

Wow, her story is truly amazing. Hmm, I wished I also learned html before.Hehehe. That's one lesson learned, but here are the other lessons from this teenage entrepreneur:

• The internet is the ultimate equal opportunity employer. Your age, race and gender aren't obstacles, they're opportunities.
• Base your internet business on something you love to do. If you're having fun, the money will come.
• Be selfless. When Ashley started her website it was all freebies all the time – and still is.
• Keep at it. Most really successful online start ups like Whateverlife.com are offshoots of something you're already working on.
• You don't need tons of money. Starting an online business is a true "sweat equity" opportunity. Everything you need to get started is available on the web for free if you have the time to look.

Where to Place Google Adsense

Now I realize the truth about adsense' tip that google ads should be placed in noticeable places of the blogsite. The other day, i have worked for almost half of the day putting adsense to those "ideal" spots around my other site:

• before the title
• after the title
• between articles
• bottompage
  

Since only 3 adsense banners would be shown in my static page, i also added google ads to each blog post, including the other pages.

The result? Yesterday i earned 0.54cents from adsense! well, I know it's not enough to even buy me a coffee, but that's good enough compared to the $1 I earned for the first 3 months! To start with, I am aiming for $100 a month. So based on my initial earning, i'd be earning $15 dollars this month. ei, not bad, right? I just need to work hard for more clicks!!! Who knows, maybe by next time i'd be earning those 6figures some bloggers earn!

The Scrupski Rules: How to Be a Successful Blogger

While i was googling for clues on how to be a successful blogger and of course, make money online, I came across this blog of Jerry Bowles. This blog says it all, the 10 simple tricks given by Susan Scrupski to be a successful blogger. Here's the summarized list:

• “To thine own self be true.” Find your voice – be sincere. For corporate blogs specifically, number one on the list is never lie.
• Write about your passion and write passionately. Whatever it is that you want to blog about, you have to really put your heart and soul into it or it won’t be credible - hey, that's right, so i am now writing about money!!!who's not passionate about it?
• Participate in the community. Blogging is not a solo activity (though that is probably one of the greatest myths about blogging). Linking and commenting are key to the experience of blogging and really taking flight in the blogosphere. Encourage comments.
• Try to be humble, but if you do have a strong point of view on something, bring it on, get it out there, but be prepared to defend your arguments.
• When you reference other bloggers, you should mention them by name as opposed to just linking to them. This is blogger etiquette.(ooppps, did i get this right?)
• Check your links. Bloggers are very forgiving, but definitely check your links. Also check your spelling and your grammar and probably in that order.
• Don’t ever edit or rewrite something that you wrote in the past. The common courtesy in blogging is to strike through and then rewrite on your blog post, if you have made an error.
• Never delete posts. Never delete something that you’ve written. The rule of thumb in the blogosphere is that if you have committed something to digital ink, it’s there for perpetuity and you can’t go back.
• Use a human voice, not PR speak.
• Keep your posts regular and relatively short. The rule of thumb here is definitely less than 500 words and usually a lot less than that.
  

Ok, better start with this checklist :D. I should start working now (and you should, too!!!).

Google Adsense

I already have added some google adsense on the body of the web. I have been a member of adsense for almost 4 months now, but most of the ads I put in my other self-hosted website. As I progress through writing more posts here, I will report to all of you how much I earn from google adsense and other money making programs, which I need to check out first if they are truly legit AND REALLY PAYING!!!

This is an experimental blog, just to prove to myself and to everybody else that blogging really pays!!!!Can we really find those dollars online, like many bloggers out there who are making thousands a month? I'd be happy to earn some to pay for lunch, but of course, who wouldn't want to have more? That could pay for a house, car, holiday? There's nothing wrong to dream and wish, right?

just like what they say,

"Be careful what you wish for, it may come true." :D

Dollars Online

I have created this blogsite to prove that there's really money online. I have read lots of stories about fellow bloggers who have earned big bucks just by having a blogsite. So to start with, I created this blogspot account to see if I could really earn dollars online.

So I invite you to my journey of earning those precious dollars.
