CLICK BANK

Numerous online business opportunities have come up today. It sounds cool to surf the net and make money. However, that’s possible only if you choose the right kind of online business to get into. If you are familiar with the online business, you are sure to be aware of clickbank. Clickbank is just like a market place, where thousands of digital products are sold on a daily basis. If you are looking forward to working and earning with clickbank, here is what you need to do:

To make money online with clickbank is very easy. All you need to do is be affiliate and start promoting and marketing any product of your choice. Once the prospects purchase that product you earn a commission on the selling price of the product. You can start by creating your own account with clickbank and choose any product to market. If you want to make more money, it is always better to choose a product that will help you to fetch at least $30. There are many merchants on the clickbank site, selling their products. You can choose a merchant who will pay you a higher percentage of commission. Some vendors pay extra commission on hiring more affiliates. You can invite more people to be affiliates with clickbank and in return earn extra commission. If you don’t wish to be an affiliate, you can always remain a merchant. You can choose to be an owner and sell your own line of digital products. You can hire affiliates to promote and market your products and pay them commission.

Being an affiliate with clickbank is very easy, but you need to promote both the products and the website to be in the online business. To begin with, you can start writing small reviews on the products you choose to promote. Give the reader some information on the product. You can create a link on these reviews, so that the reader can immediately reach the page where the products are displayed. These quick links can help you turn the visitors into buyers. The moment a person purchases the product, the commission is automatically transferred to your clickbank account.

You can even write reviews about two, three products at a time and mail it to the prospective buyers. Do not forget to add the links to the sale page. If you are really looking forward to making more money via clickbank, you can create a mini page and give the details about the products you choose to promote. Remember, do not promote more than three products to the same person or he will get confused and you may lose a prospective buyer. On the mini page, you can invite the feedback of the previous customers. You can ask them to share their experiences of using the product. You can also create blogs on google and advertise the products.

Making a good income from clickbank is very simple, but only if you promote and market the products with determination.

So here is another paid to review site which is also too much good. It has a huge database of products which we can review. I have received my first payment from Focalprice !! You can see the Payment Proof Below

Now we come to important thing and that’s how it pays for reviews.

FocalPrice basically deals with focal points which can be redeemed to cash or a product on their site. It pays 20 focal points=0.20$ for each review published and there is no word limit for it but that doesn’t mean it should be of few words, it should be well written.

It also pays 15 focal points=0.15$ for each photo published in your reviews.

Also you get 50 focal points=0.50$ for each referral you get. And it gives focal points to buy products from their site also.

The site pay rates don’t look so much attractive but this site can be used as a side income with other paid to review sites.

To receive payment from FocalPrice, you must buy at least 1 product from focalprice. You can buy the product buy using your focalpoint that you received from reviewing the products. Just buy the cheapest product ( $0.01 ) from focalprice to receive your cashout. You can buy it anytime, using your paypal account / focal point.

The minimum payout is 1000 focal points=10$ which you can get by PayPal or use it to buy products from their site only.

EARNING WITH ADSENSE

Many says Adsense don’t make money so i follow
There are tons of ways to make money online and using Adsense is just one of the many. They can be many reasons why bloggers say they are not making money with Adsense.

• They expect to make $1/day when their blog is not even 1 month old
• They expect to make $100/mth when they have less than 1000 visitors per month
• They are not making as much as John chow so they give up on Adsense
• They do invalid clicks and got ban so they say Adsense don’t make money
• They don’t even have an Adsense account but they say they don’t make money

The fact is these are what others say, have you tried it for yourself and be convinced that they don’t work for you? If they serious don’t work for you, then change to another PayPerClick Program, like i say there are many alternatives out there. Try every program and see which suits you.

Google Adsense code implementation on your site
This will be the example of a Adsense code that you can add on your blog.

• Google client – The xxxxx is represented by numbers and its an identification number that it is your ads.
• Google Width/Height/format/type/channel – these are the pre setting that you have done before hand

Google Ads Disappears on my post
For Ads unit and Link Unit, you can have a maximum of 3 ads each in 1 page. 3 standard ads unit and 3 Link unit.

Hubpages is an online publishing community similar to the likes of Squidoo, the intend is simple to help you make more money online! Squidoo used to be easy to make money but recently it have become very competitive. Hubpages makeover recently also came with more features and a better revenue ads model opportunity.

What is this Hub that can make me money online?
Even if you are without a blog or website, as a newbie you can still be able to make money from creating a hub. A Hub is a web page which you write and design on. Every Hub is unique and you are able to publish as many as you like over time.

“HubPages currently utilizes advertising from Google Adsense, Commission Junction, Amazon and the beta of eBay’s Contextual Advertising units, with plans to roll out direct sponsorships of hubs in the foreseeable future.

There’s a lot to like about this service. The revenue sharing model is generous compared to others; a straight 50/50 60/40 split compared to Squidoo’s 50% of profits only, and publishers are paid direct by the advertiser: advertisements are rotated 1:1 with each publisher’s code and HubPages’ code. The question of Intellectual Property Rights is straight forward: publishers own the content and can do with it as they please.”

Creating your First Hub in 4 simple steps

1. Create: You’ll need to create an account.
2. Name: Pick a title for your Hub, url sub category title and add tags that describe your Hub.
3. Add: Create the content capsules of your choice and fill them with whatever you’d like.
4. Publish.

The Editor Page
After you finish Step 2 in publishing your first Hub, go to your editor page and this is how it is suppose to look like. Once you are here, take note that i had numbers on the side which i will brieflt describe what they are used for.

1. This is the main post which allows you to sort out which information you want to project first. Maybe you have a photo which you want to place it on the top of this Hub or you might want to create sub-title so you need more text box placed in the main editor area.
2. Content capsules. There are only 7 different types of capsules available and you can add them into your main editor area by clicking on the capsule you need.
3. Revenue Programs. 3 revenue programs to chose from Google Adsense, Ebay Affiliate or Amazon Affiliate. Use them for the appropriate contents, It is not a must to have all 3 on a Hub.

   Edit Tags. After generating a list of tags when you are creating your Hub, you might want to add on more tags so that searching your article is not that hard.

4. Capsule Reorder. After you have clicked on the capsule that you intend to add on the main editor area, you got to reorder it before it takes effect on the main editor area.

How to enable your Affiliate and Google Adsense ID?

You will need to enable your Google Adsense and Affiliate ID before you can have them monetizing on your Hub. If you do not have an account with Google Adsense, signup for an account, if you intend to use ebay affiliate ID then it requires you to have a Commission Junction account and same goes for affiliates with Amazon, it will be a requirement to have a Associate Program ID.

Signing up for all 3 are simple and will take a few days before the application is approve.

If you want to track your daily visitors and where they are from, then you can apply for Google Analytics, have your unique ID to be activated.

Listening to what others wants and create a Hub
Hub Request Page is a online page which other hubbers are requesting information or advice on a particular topic which they will like to hear from you. If you have expertise in that field, why not create a Hub and answer your fellow hubbers.

Main Benefits that i will get over using Hubpages
I am sure everyone will be excited to join the all new Hubpages when they hear about the benefits they are in for:

• You can place direct links to your blog or webpages to drive traffic
• You can increase your chances of improving your Pagerank indirect, the older version of Hubpage jumps pagerank every quarterly so your post is almost sure to have a pagerank after about 10 weeks.
• You can promote on your products, affiliate products or even your website.
• Potential to improve your website’s search engine ranking positions.
• Talk about social media marketing and make them realise the importance of Digg and Stumbles which could generally improve traffic and let this Hub not go un-noticed by asking them to spread around by digging and stumbling the Hub first.

Making sure you dry up Hubpages Resources to Make Money for Yourself
While you might think Google adsense is going to be your biggest money earner in Hubpages, think again because revenue sharing is never accurate and never reliable so i always think of using Amazon to sell items that are related to my contents and also eBay which i can easily make more money on 1 sold item rather than using a contextual ads which can’t guarantee me the final amount.

Maddie Rudd’s post was a top Hubber with 360 comments and while writing on a Free Webkinz Guide, she also sells product which should be making her a sum of income from both amazon and ebay.

I will also suggest that you integrate your affiliate program together with your Hub. 2 more methods that you can follow to maximize our earnings with Hubpages and produce a more effective income for you.

1. With Amazon and eBay already integrated into HubPages, you can also do product reviews for a certain software or script which could be specifically useful in your niche. Clickbank is one of the largest digital product marketplace where you can find many sort of products.
2. Make Money with Images. Drop Thumbnail images on your Hub, best used for celebrities and Autos Hub, this is one way you can make more money using images you have.

For now, Hubpages is still very new and less competitive as compared to Squidoo, so this is the best time to join a publishing community that offers so many revenue sharing models available, who said you need to be a blogger to make money online?

Make Money Online with Auction Ads New 2.0 Design!

Auction Ads have been in the lime light for sometime since March 2007, Recently MediaWhiz acquired the company fully from Jeremy Schoemaker for an undisclosed fee. Auction Ads is an advertising widget that serves relevant eBay auctions based on tags placed by the publisher.

As a publisher with Auction Ads, you are paid 100% of eBay affiliate fees. Auction Ads had more than 5,000 publisher within a week and have more than 20,000 publishers registered in their network.

After giving a brief introduction about Auction Ads, I think it’s really an idiot prove system to use, simple and effective! New Publishers who are looking forward to make money online can now breath on Auction Ads.

The All new 2.0 Design For Auction Ads
If you were a long supporter with Auction Ads and have seen their makeover through the months from the ads that were with poor resolution, distorted and stretchy looking advertising items to the all new refreshing 2.0 look, which will allow better images shown so that you can attract more clicks on your site, given the staff a few more weeks before everything is up!

Worry no more as you will get double the performance than before!
AuctionAds was very confident to say that they have “doubled the size of our hardware infrastructure and optimized it to ensure near 100% uptime of ad serving”. This acts as an assurances to all of us that the problems we faced previous would be eliminated by their dedicated hardware.

Why should i sign up with Auction Ads?
Many people will think Auction Ads President Patrick Gavin paid me to review them, but all i can say is they would not be looking at me because i am not a big earner with them, Maybe if i am John Chow, i might get few hundred dollars for this review or maybe not?
If my memory served me well, i remembered giving them a drop when they were having problems with their servers and now i see the prospect of this program coming back with its assurances with Media Whiz which i see as a way to make more money online, don’t tell me this is not what you wanted “make more money”!

Managing my Auction Ads Account
A little run through on how to actually setup your account which would help speed up the amount of time used to further optimize your ads. Its so simple there is no need to use multiple screenshots for elaborations.

Click on “Campaigns” and start to create a campaign to monitor your click results and impressions made. You can have multiple campaigns going on at the same time, there should be a limit but i have yet to create to that amount so i can’t tell you the limits.

After creating your campaign, lets give it a name “Money”. Click on “Get Code” to setup your ads. There are 3 columns which you need to fill up to create your very first auction codes.

• Ad Keywords: Place your keywords within this box and to breakup keywords leave a “,” in between every word created.
• Ad Campaign: You have created “Money” as your campaign, choose it so that you can track the stats.
• Ad Type: Though after the new implementation with the web 2.0 design, the older design still is around and is still being offered as a choice, why is this so? Let me explain to you later.

Who do i choose? The New or stick to the old ads?
Auction Ads retained the services for the older banners though it brings much distorted picture but the older banners had features to customize compared to the new ones. It really depends on individual pick.

The High and Low of Older Banners

High

1. You have a wide choice of ads sizes that you can chose to fit your site.
2. You have the ability to customize your background,descriptions and links colour.
3. You will be able to blend your ads better on your site.

Low

1. The Ads are showing poor quality pictures which could affect your earnings, better images are require to pull of a convincing purchase.

The High and Low of New Banners

High

1. It gives a much attractive and sleek look which could attract more clicks.
2. There is a cool range of colours to choose for your ads.

Low

1. There is a limited number of ads style i can choice which is the vertical or horizontal style followed by a maximum of 3 ads shown.

You have setup your first hand and have placed it in your blog, but realised most of your ads are not rotating and also you made a discovery that your ads are always having many bids at $0.01, how do you increase them and set a minimum amount to improve your earnings?

Optimize your Auction Ads!
All these tips and tricks were found on Auction Ads Blog which is broken into parts during their updates, I decided to compile it to look good under one post. Here i go!

New Window Open Function
This feature does not look new but it allows your ads to open in another tab or window page.In your own code it will look like this ” auctionads_option=”n”; ” . This means your ads will open in another page or tab.

Rotate your keywords Automatically in one banner
Bored and tired of seeing same ads in every pages, then you can use this function which allows your keywords within to rotate by itself. While Keying in your keywords to “Ad Keywords” add “;” in between every keyword. The code reflected should be like this

“auctionads_ad_kw = “keyword 1;keyword 2;keyword 3;keyword 4″; “

Optimizing auction prices to make more money
This can be trick, it can decrease the number of clicks on one hand but on the other hand it can help you earn more with just 1 single purchase. “minprice:___ and maxprice:___”. The code will look like this:

“auctionads_ad_kw = “Xbox 360 minprice:50″;” – will generate all relevant items above $50

“auctionads_ad_kw = “X box 360 maxprice:50″;” – will generate all relevant items under $50

Using the best way to convert auctions to cash!
Go back to your account under “Url converter”. Add in a ebay item’s url that you would want to promote or let your readers know about how hot that item is. For example,Brand New Apple iPhone 8GB is up for grab at only $728, would you not want to own a iphone now?

Benefits are way above all and you can outdo your current PPC earnings
Since you take 100% affiliate earnings as a publisher, and you will see that PPC clicks are seriously pathetic, maybe a maxmium of $2/day with 1000/day unless your site brings in tons of traffic, otherwise giving Auction Ads a try would not mean any harm at all!

Plugins, Modules and Widgets readily available

• AuctionAds Joomla Module – Download Joomla Module

*Too bad for Bloggers, we don’t have widget readily available for auctions ads, maybe someone would create one one day! Do contact me and i will have you added in this list and contact Auction ads, cause they will give T-shirt to the one who creates plugins or widgets for them!

Give AuctionAds a try, its one of the best program available and signup now to start making money online! Do you have something to share, do share with us a tips that you have used before or comments on this program?

I have been analyzing and could conclude that almost every 6-8 months, a brand new affiliate network will arise into the internet marketing scene and take off with heavy advertising on their new design & network which offers the best affiliate payouts you can find! Ads4dough which offers one of the best payouts in the affiliate industry comes with lightning fast commission payments but are they able to keep up with the competitive affiliate network market?

Ads4Dough is run on DirectTrack system, which also powers some of the other major affiliate networks out there. Contacted by Ryan who is one of the three affiliate managers, Ryan actually told me they are in the process of constructing a major revamp on their layout and structure process which i am sure not only will it look good but also be more user friendly than before and Ads4Dough takes every comment, users make seriously. This revamp structure is the user’s voice and feedback gather over time by the affiliate managers. Ads4Dough is serious about how their program is progressing and since i have been actively in contact with them, their team works real hard with great Technicial Support over the mail as well.

Overview of AdsDough:
Ads4Dough Carries over 400 offers, with many top prestige companies like Date.com, True.com, Columbia House. I was attracted by the high lead payout which can be as high as $50/lead, on average of $22/lead and that was an amazing payout, one of the few affiliate network that actually pays so much for an advertising program.

I was excited to see many prestige companies and new merchants that i have never come across, i though the offers on ads4dough network was very refreshing and there are many different merchants i can work with and i am spoilt for a choice!

My Signup took awhile but it was all worth it!
The initial phase of my signup took a while and it was my own fault after clarifying the doubts which Ryan carefully explained and helped me along the way, i was sure i am in with a serious affiliate network who are truly looking forward to expand their database with geninue affiliaters like me. The signup should take you less than 6 minutes and it should be a breeze now after some adjustments made to suit the users better but remember to agree to the terms and conditions which is cleared stated in black and white that you do not commonly see in other affiliate companies, strict policies but it does not hinder me to signup after all.

The Campaigns & Search Values
Ads4Dough contains one of the most targeted search and campaign offers on the network. You can search for Campaigns that you want to carry by Category, or you can search for Specific campaigns, or Campaigns by Other criteria.

Payments that are flexible
Ads4Dough has a minimum payout of $50 a month, and pays every month on the 30th. You can do request with the affiliate manager direct through email and all payments by default would be paid through cheques but upon request you can ask for transfer via paypal and it is much easier for those who are international publishers.

Rewarding System for your Earnings
Having a rewards program is always a great incentive to network affiliates. I must take my hats off for Ads4Dough is always thinking of many ideas to reward it’s users but the rewards on this seems a little useless. Would I care about the $50 gift card you are giving when i earn $25000 monthly? It could be given out as a contest prize if you want to make full use otherwise i don’t see any value in that amount, i would love to see a rebate system which Ads4dough could consider but it’s just something to think about.

Referral System of 4% commission for life!
They have step up their affiliate referral commission from 2% up to 4% for life, this is much better than many other affiliate network. There is no cap on how much you can make from Ads4Dough network for Super-Affiliates. With every $5000 your referral make, you get 4% which is $200 as your commission!

Ads4dough is one of the latest affiliate network which provides many opportunities which we can venture into through their 400 over offers. I am sure this network have lots of potential in making money. I recommend you apply for their network and work with the current websites you own to build a super affiliate network, and i am also looking forward to their redesign and more wonderful benefits that would keep us active in the network!

StumbleUpon is a bookmarking system that can mean great traffic to you website and helps you discover and share great websites. It also enables others to stumble on your articles and home page which could drive massive traffic. The best part is registering for this program is free and your referral traffic is also free, no gimmick nor sales call and tons of traffic will be driven across!

If you are new in stumbleupon then you should start to register for an account and start stumbling others do stumble exchanges with your friends and fellow forum readers. You will notice an immediate surge in traffic at your site and the range can go from 50-3000k visitors on average. This referral traffic can go on and on as long as your site is stumbled by others.

A basic run through of how stumbleupon works

• Stumble sites that your friends have favourite in their list.
• The members will vote whether this website would be a “thumb up” or “thumb down” site.
• The members can do tagging and reviews for the site they find worthy of a buzz.
• The more thumbs up you get the better the chances your site would be viewed among the rest.

25 Ways of how stumbles can work to receive more traffic

1)Why submitting Sites that are worth reading is important
I have submitted my own EtienneTeo dot com and some popular articles to stumbleupon and its great to see i am receiving traffic to my site daily about 200 uniques daily on average and its seriously a good way to gain referral traffic.
It is also good to stumble other sites and give them a review so that they are aware that you have found their site worthy and will return a favor by giving your site a stumble as well. The more reviews and tags the better your traffic gets.

2) Stumble website that link to you
Loren Baker from Search Engine Journal wrote about how to build super links and traffic with StumbleUpon. I would say this is a superb method to build a ton of traffic from another website.

Many are unaware of the power of stumbling others, for example your friend gave a review of your site and in order to magnify this post to all the readers you decided to give a stumble on this post. In return what you are gaining back would be a win win situation for both your friend and yourself, because traffic will reach your friend’s site and in return you will also gain a portion of the traffic since your site was reviewed.

3) Form a group of stumblers
A mutal trusting group of stumblers is what you would want to form. A group of 5-10 stumblers would be ideal and you can inter exchanges sites to stumbleupon. Giving a thumbsup, review and tagging would increase your sites mobility up to the buzz stumble rankings.

4) Make sure you include a stumbleupon button
If you have a blog, i would recommend you place a stumbleupon button after your article, so that your readers can stumble the post which they feel it is worth a read.

5) Why tagging and review would be much appreciated than just a thumbs up
When you are requesting for a stumble from your friends, make sure you offer a review and tagging on their site and ask them to return you with also a review and tag, the purpose of this is to allow your site to be found in the different category that is in stumbleupon and the review boost your traffic more than just a thumbs up!

6) Why slower traffic in stumbleupon would be much better than digg’s 10,000 visitors
Getting gradually and daily uniques is a good sign your site is improving, but a suddenly 15 minutes of 10,000 visitors can simply cripple your blog. It will slow down your speed of your site and cause readers to leave your blog. Getting adequate amount of traffic from stumbleupon can ensure maxmium reading capacity for your visitors and they can navigate your site at a faster loading speed and also you will not miss out your loyal readers.

7) Add as many stumble friends as possible
This is not really rationalize as to whether it will improve your rankings in stumbleupon but it is rumored to give authority and improve your rankings. Anyway it is a good way to get to know more friends and remember to review their stumble profile page! If you add me and review me, i will review you back!

Improve your site loading speed and receive more traffic
The best tool to check on your referral traffic would have to be Google Analytics because its tell you exactly how much traffic you are receiving from stumbleupon and how long does the user stay on your blog, most of the time at least 1 minute in average, but if your sites loads longer than 12 seconds than chances are less than 20 seconds they will leave.
To avoid such a thing from happening you can remove all iframes and flash material in your blog, avoid the use of javascripts and external files that will take time to load in your blog.

9) Increase readership using your RSS feed subscriptions
While many are just interested in increasing your traffic, they miss out the chances of increasing their readership. Place welcome messages on the top of your blog or even a big RSS button which allow your readers to subscribe to free and updated articles you post daily!

10) Go to forums and exchange your profile and site
Visit forums like DigitalPoint and exchange profile and site stumbles with other forumers. A very good way to increase your ranking.

11) Increase your stumble chances with other 3rd party exchanges

More active you are the higher score you will have.
