Affiliate Paradise

If you’ve got the talent and the knowledge to create web pages, then you have the skills to make money. There are several ways to put this ability to work for you so you can earn a little extra pocket money on the side or start your own home-based business: you can collect revenue from displaying ads, sell products or offer to create web pages for others.

Instructions

Collect Ad Revenue

1. Make web pages on a topic that interests you. This can be your favorite hobby, a political or religious viewpoint or any passion that you might have.
2. Add a lot of unique content to your web pages. When people search for a web page, they are looking for something worth viewing. Write some good articles on the topic and put up some good quality images or videos. Make them attractive and easy to navigate.
3. Sign up for a program such as Google Adsense or Clicksor, which provide you with advertisements you can place on your web page with links. When people view your web page or click on the ads, you get paid for it.
4. Research Internet marketing strategies to attract more traffic to your web page so that you can make more money.

Sell Products or Services Directly

5. Decide on a product or service you would like to provide. You can sell things that you own, or make, or offer services for which you are qualified, such as editing, creating web graphics or consulting.
6. If you have nothing personal to offer, sign up with an affiliate marketing program, such as Clickbank or Commission Junction. These programs offer products that you sell for them on your web page. After you sign up, you decide which product you would like to sell and make a web page featuring it. Whenever someone purchases the product, you get a commission.
7. Create a web page that excites the visitors about the product. If possible, add testimonials and favorable product reviews. Again, providing good content and learning Internet marketing strategies can improve your traffic and increase your revenue.

Make Web Pages for a Fee

8. Offer to make web pages for people who have businesses or want to start an Internet-based business. A lot of people have good products or services to sell or want to work from home, but their computer skills are not up to par. They want a website to promote their business but cannot make one themselves.
9. Make some sample web pages for potential clients to view. These must be absolutely perfect so you can show you can deliver a good quality web page. Make a list of anything you might be able to offer in addition, such as well-written content or custom-designed graphics. Provide your client with basic web pages, as well as maxed-out web pages.
10. Determine your prices. One good way to get an idea of how much to charge is to shop around and see what other web page designers offer and charge for their services. Decide how much money you want to make per hour and multiply that by how many hours it generally takes you to create a web page. Don’t forget to factor in any of your own expenses into the cost, such as software you need to purchase or advertising costs.
11. Advertise your business. Make a web page advertising it, make fliers and distribute them to local businesses or put ads on web sites like Craigslist or in local papers.

Google Adsense is an affiliate pay per click program that has taken the Internet by storm. There are a plethora of sites dedicated solely to Google Adsense. Google Adsense is a good way for a small Internet site owner to make some extra money. Using Adsense does not require any special knowledge, just a computer and a working web site.

Instructions

1. Construct a web site for use with Google Adsense. Google has a published criteria for the web sites they accept to the Adsense program. A good rule of thumb is just construct an honest and forthright web site that has legitimate purpose other than attaining revenue from the Google Adsense program.
2. Sign up for the Google Adsense Program having the following information available during sign up: website URL, website language, name, address and telephone number.
3. Submit the sign up information. Once all the steps at Google are complete and the policies are read, click the “Submit” button.
4. Activate the Google Adsense account. Upon account approval, an email notification will arrive. Click on the link in the email to activate the Adsense account.
5. Log in to the adsense account and obtain the HTML code for the approved site. Type in the username and password in the adsense log in box. Next click on the “Adsense setup” tab. Click on the “Adsense for content” link. Choose the “Ad unit” option in the next screen and select “Continue.” And finally select the correct “Ad format” and then choose “Continue.”
6. Copy and paste the generated ad code into the appropriate section of the web site. In the grey Google adsense box there is HTML code to copy into the user web site. Copy that code and place in the appropriate place in the web site.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure the mailing address is correct when signing up.
• Ensure that a valid email address is entered correctly during sign up.
• Have a valid and complete web site. Do not submit sites that are under construction or inaccessible.
• Be an administrator of the submitted web site. The user will need to have access to the HTML code in order to incorporate Google Adsense.

Good dental health is essential to maintaing overall good health. Problems and illnesses in your mouth can cause problems in other parts of your body.

Instructions

1. BRUSH – Brush your teeth a minimum of twice a day. It is also a good idea to brush after you have had sweets or sugary items. It is sugar that causes cavities, keep the sugar off and you will have less cavities. Brush more often if you are able, such as after each meal. Keep a portable toothbrush in your car or in your purse or desk.
2. FLOSS – I prefer regular floss, but if you are having issues with it, start using the new dental flossers, they are easy to use. Remember to floss the teeth that you want to keep because you will have a higher rate of tooth loss if you do not floss. Floss once per day.
3. RINSE – Find a good rinse that has flouride, plaque control and alcohol for fresh breath. Use once per day.
4. TOOTH BRUSH – Use a toothbrush that is small enough to reach all of the areas of your mouth. Change your toothbrush every three months whether you think it needs it or not. Keep it clean by rinsing it off with hydrogen peroxide weekly. Protect it from bathroom germs by covering it or keeping it in a drawer. I prefer a sonic toothbrush because I think it cleans better.
5. ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES – Waterpik, stimudents are good. Waterpiks feel great. I love them. Toothpicks are bad. Toothpicks are dangerous, they can damage your gums or break in your mouth. I don’t mean to scare you but people have died using toothpicks. Keep a small pack of floss or stimudents with you instead.
6. GET REGULAR CHECKUPS – See the dentist every six months for a cleaning and check up.
7. EAT HEALTHY – Avoid sugary foods such as cereal, fruit juice, sodas, etc. Shop around the outside of the grocery store, dairy products, meats and poultry, fruits and vegetables and bakery. Avoid packaged and processed foods.

I’m sure everybody can use quick money no matter what the reason. The internet can be just the place to make that quick money. It is a shame that these opportunities exist and so few are aware of them.

Instructions

1. Affiliate Marketing: Now before you close your mind to this gold mind read a little farther. Companies have to advertise and they can spend a great deal of money trying to reach customers. Part of that large advertising pot is affiliate marketing. You are paid to promote their products through links. There is no limit as to how many affiliate programs you can sign up with. You can sign up with Click Bank, or E-Junkie and select the product you want to promote. Write an article about it, add your affiliate link, and wait for your money to start coming in.
2. Write reviews or articles as a service to a business. Did you know there are companies that will pay you to drive traffic to their sites via articles that you write for them? Unlike affiliate marketing, you will get a fee per hour or by the job depending on what you work out with the company. This works well if you have a good knowledge of how internet marketing works and where to strategically place your articles to get the customers.
3. Sell your own information product and make even more money. You can do it! If you are writing articles for eHow you may already have the makings for many e-books. I will share with you an ebook that I am working on that came from one of my articles, “How to stop vaginal Itching Naturally.” I will expand on more remedies that are natural and tweak a few things but the majority of the ebook is already done. Don’t sell yourself short you can do it too.
4. Having your own blog will pull all three ideas together in a single place. Blog about the products of your affiliate programs, about your information product and even attract other businesses by offering a review of their products for a fee. Making money with a blog is an art however, and having the write steps to follow will make the difference of whether you make money or not. I have found a great tutor that will walk you step-by-step with no guess work involved. I have included a like in the resource section of this article.

Tips & Warnings

• See the resource section for some really great resources to get you started.
• If you think you can do it you will; If you think you can’t you won’t.

If you currently use Google Adwords, Yahoo or even MSN’s CPC (Cost Per Click) ads to sell your items you should look into MSN’s new Live Search Cashback service. With Cashback service you only pay MSN when someone buys your product.

Instructions

1. First let’s review what the Live Search Cashback service from Microsoft does. The Cashback service allows users to search for items to purchase and then displays results for those searches. The user can then compare the costs of items between vendors very much like half.com or buy.com. The biggest difference is Microsoft provides the users with “cashback” when they complete the purchase.
2. The cashback service is on a CPA basis (Cost Per Action). Which means as an advertiser you don’t have to pay to be listed until the user purchases your product. Cashback then takes the CPA and pays a percantage back to the user. We of course don’t know what that percantage is.
3. List of Requirements to Join Cashback as an Advertiser!In order to advertise in Live search using the Cashback service you have to meet several qualifications. You must be headquartered in the United States.
4. You must have a retail site with e-commerce capabilities and be able to “fulfil” the physical shipment of the product. Basically you have to have an online store and be able to ship the product. My guess if your reading this an your not an affiliate the answer is that you have both.
5. Must be able to create and maintain a product data feed. They need this to be able to list your product with other competing products when users use Live Search. You may or may not have this some of the e-commerce software packages don’t require this, but if you have a lot of products the odds are you already have a product data feed.
6. Must be able to implement a standard tracking pixel on your website’s order confirmation page. More than likelty you already have some type of tracking if you have an e-commerce site. Never fear most of the pre-built e-commerce software packages have this capability.
7. Live Search CashBack Interest Form Part 1!If you meet this requirements just fill out the interest form or if you already advertise with MSN contact your representative and they will walk you through the rest of Microsoft Live Search Cashback signup.
8. Live Search CashBack Interest Form Part 2!Once your signed up you still need to bid on key words. Unlike Google Adwords you aren’t bidding per click for each keyword which can take a lot of maintenance. Instead you’re bidding per action in this case per purchase. Yes, you will be bidding against the “big companies” like Borders, Ebay, Tiger Direct, etc. Like Google adwords the key is to find good overlooked keywords and then get near the top of the search results by bidding higher. The higher you bid the more money that customers will get cashback.
9. Finally ask you’re self is it worth it? Definitely. Think of it as at least free advertising for your product. Since you only pay if someone purchases the product you know exactly what you can bid and still make a profit. Or maybe you use a product as a loss leader to attract new customers. Either way their is no reason not to do it if you qualify.

Tips & Warnings

• Always take advantage of any programs that are essentially “FREE” if you’re trying to sell products.
• Make sure you know how much you can bid and still break even.
• You can sell at a lost if you think you can get customers to buy other items.
• Look for overlooked keywords that fit you product, but aren’t being bid high.
• You must meet their qualifications although they plan to expand to other countries in 6 months.
• As in any advertising campaign be sure to track your results.
