Blogging today has become quite the force. People blog about almost everything, from politics and the news, to sports and business, even their own personal lives! Should you?
In marketing, there’s no doubt that blogging has become a highly effective tool. Is it right for everyone though? Maybe not, but it is a valuable way to add fresh content to most web sites.
All of the most highly used search engines, including Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ask and MSN all expect webmasters to keep their sites updated often. Blogs provide a way to add fresh content capably and effectively.
This doesn’t mean that you need to flood readers and visitors with eBook novels to be a success though. In most cases the shorter and more to the point they are the better. A quick, well written piece of work is actually better than a long, boring narrative that no one wants to read. Fifty words with a few doses here and there of useful keywords will become magnets to search engines, and helpful information for your target audience will appeal to the human visitors you wish to turn into your customer base. Applying this three to seven times a week for a year will turn your website into the well oiled machine that search engines just love.
Not that it will take a full year though. You can achieve the same success in three to six months if you fill your blogs with entertainment, amusement, originality and unique content that will turn your readers into repeat customers.
If you are considering the use of blogging as a marketing tool in your future, don’t sell yourself short with only keeping an online diary for your writing either. A few keywords tossed around aren’t all it takes to make your blog a success. You must communicate with your audience which content is most informative, which is most entrancing, and what is benefitting to them. There are also two other forms of blogging growing more and more popular as well. Whichever forms you use will depend on you and your company’s objectives and ambitions.
These two types of blogging – audio and video – can also be just as effective if not more in some cases. This doesn’t mean they are for everyone though. Do you make a living with your voice, such as singing or public speaking? These kinds of talents can be a unique way of reaching customers who can assess and appraise your work also. Of course, perhaps everyday would be a bit much, but it’s good to keep your options open.
The same applies to video blogging. Maybe you are an actor or technician with talents related to production or direction of video? There is a lot to consider with this form of blogging nowadays, with internet video upload capabilities, affordable digital cameras, and software bringing it all together and becoming easier day by day. Blogging and the 21st century are upon us, and these powerful marketing strategies are beneficial to almost any and every business. These are all definitely worth checking out.

Is This Common Mistake Holding You From Making Money?
I always ask my students: “What is your target market?” And many times I receive the answer:
“My target market is everybody.”
Then, I have to explain to them how that approach will make them fail and the importance of targeting a small niche. For this reason I want to share with you this article, so that you don’t make that same mistake.
Your product needs to be special. It has to fit the needs of a specific group. Narrow down your potential market or it will become too much. Consider it: you sell glue. OK, what kind? What is it for? Who needs it? Why?
The possibilities are endless. Unless your plan is to establish a huge corporation and you have the funds to put it together, with hundreds of products, you need to find a niche, a spot where you can attract the right customers for your particular item.
Narrowing down your potential customers means you can spend more time focusing on them. A smaller focus allows you to do as well as, or better than, those large corporations. Good profits can come from concentrating on a specific group that can use your product for a special project or need.
Let’s say that you want to go into the weight loss market, as you know it is a very profitable market but with a huge competition so, it is difficult to compete with large companies because they have huge budgets.
But if you narrow it down you have more chances to stand out from your competitors and make good profit. In this case you can target weight loss after pregnancy or weight loss for women between 45 and 60, etc.
The same with the Internet Marketing market, let’s say you want to go with traffic where you’ll find lot of competitors. But if you go deeper everything becomes easier, you can go with traffic using social media or go even deeper, traffic using facebook. The more you narrow it down the better.
In order to narrow down your niche you have to explore the market place and know what it needs. Now, consider the results of the market survey you had done and the areas where your competitors are already doing well. Use a table or a graph to show where there might be an opening for your product or service.
One hard step that needs to be taken is finding the right combination of product, service, quality, and price. Customers need to feel you will give them a better deal and meet their needs. Sadly, there’s no proven effective path to follow to find the right combination. You just have to compare things and see what works best.
Your database should be put together with care, as it can help you sort through the market information and show particular segments that could be overlooked. Which age groups tend to buy your product? What other items purchased? You could find additional products your buyers may be interested in.
Where should you start? Passion is a good starting point, because if the work is focused on something you love, you try harder. With a product you really like, you’ll be more willing to do the hard work to get it promoted and refine your skills.
Look into what you like and see if you can make it profitable. Will people want it? Will they look online for places to get it from? Whatever you decide to sell, there has to be a demand. Lots of places can be checked for this information - Blogs, forums and affiliate networks, social media sites, etc.
I would like to hear your feedback about this.

The Top 10 Free Ways to Get Money Online
Finding a free way to make money online isn't easy and might take a lot of time. So, I put together 10 methods of making money online in this post to help you out. I have done research on these money making methods. They were legitimate and didn't cost you money to begin.
No. 10 - Paid Survey
You might already heard about paid survey if you have searched on the Internet for while. The Internet ads told you that you can make a living doing paid survey. So, is that really true? Well, the answer is of course no. The ad messages were exaggerated. But it's true that paid survey can potentially earn you extra cash in monthly basis.
How to begin?
It's simple. Just go to paid survey directory like Yellowsurveys.com and join as many market research companies listed in the directory as possible. There is also a list of companies that are listed under the 'Most Popular' in the Yellowsurveys.com directory. Make sure you join all the companies in the 'Most Popular' category.
The signing up process will take you hours of time since you are going to join many companies. But once you've have completed all the sign up, your work is done. What you need to do next is wait for the paid survey invitation emails send to you by these companies. Not every company pays cash to participants who completed survey. Some companies offer vouchers (Amazon, etc), gift and products.
Who can join?
Anyone over 18 years in US and Canada. Most companies welcome any country but the paid survey invitations are often fit for US and Canada residents only.
Patience is needed
Paid survey isn't a way to get fast money. You would have got a few surveys for the first month and earning less than $10 in total. But, when time gets longer, you might start getting more surveys regularly. At that time, you might get about $30 to $100 per month in average.
No. 9 - Reviewing Products and Services
The Internet users often want to search for supporting information before they purchase a product or a service to make sure they are making wise purchasing decision. They will go to the shopping information sites to find the supporting product information and advice.
The shopping information sites will help these Internet users by providing reviews written by those people who already tried the products or services. These product reviews are real and useful for the Internet users to make the right choice. So, the shopping info sites would hope to publish new reviews constantly. And therefore, the shopping info sites are inviting anyone to submit honest and straight forward review on the product or service they've used or tried. For each review that the shopping information site approved, the submitter will be paid.
You don't have to be a professional writer to write review. Writing product review is about sharing your experience and opinions about the product you have used. Just be straight forward and tell the truth will do.
Sites that pay for product review:
ReviewStream.com - Pay $2 per product review. But the review rate might change anytime. No registration needed to submit review. You'll earn also for each time a reader vote on your review. $0.10 per vote.
Sharedreviews.com - You'll need to register to create a profile in Shared Reviews. Then you can start review anything you like. Once you have written and published your reviews, they will be read and voted by your friends in the Shared Reviews community. Your review will be ranked based on votes and traffic. The more votes and traffic to your review, the higher your rank and the higher your earning would probably be.
SoftwareJudge.com - The site publishes reviews about software and online games. If you have something to say about a software or a game you have tried, you can share your opinion in Softwarejudge. The pay is between $1 to $50 per approved review depending on the quality.
No. 8 - Sharing Photos and Pictures
If you are passionate about photography, then you can turn your hobby into cash. Break.com was all the while paying users for uploading pictures that get featured on their picture gallery. You'll be paid $50 for each photo that Break chose to feature in their picture gallery.
How to begin?
Only registered members of Break can upload photo. Registration is free and can be done at this page. Once you have signed up, you can start uploading your photos.
You may take a look at Break Gallery first to see what sorts of pictures and photos that Breaks like to feature before uploading your photos. This will give you an idea of what photos have a better chance to be featured. Amazing, interesting or funny pictures are often good for getting featured in Break Gallery.
Some rules to keep in mind are that the picture that you upload must be original (not copying from other site) and you have the sole ownership to it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be paid even though your pictured got featured.
Another way to make money with your photos is by selling them in the stock photography sites such as IstockPhoto and Shutterstock. The webmasters, magazine editors, web designers, graphic designers, bloggers and other people who involve in the publishing field are paying monthly subscription to the stock photography sites. They choose to use what pictures they like for their publishing. Every time they choose to use your picture, you'll earn a small fee. So, the more people use your pictures, the more you'll earn.
If you have good volume of pictures and images to submit constantly to IstockPhoto and ShutterStock; and a few others are BigStockPhoto, GittyImages, Fotolia, etc, you could be earning consistent income with your pictures.
No. 7 - Uploading Files
Have you heard of websites that allow Internet users to upload files and earn money every time their file is downloaded by someone? There were actually quite a lot of these file-sharing websites offering this service. But because the pay is too low that many people become not interested on them.
However, there is a file-sharing website which I recently come across worth mentioning. The site is called Share Cash. Share Cash offers the users who upload files $0.20 to $0.60 per download. That's $200 to $600 per 1,000 download. The pay rate is very much higher than most other file-sharing sites which usually offer only $1 to $3 per thousand download. If you have interesting files to share with people on the Internet, why not share them through this site and earn more cash for each download of your file.
How to Begin?
You need to become a member of Share Cash to upload files. Registration is fast and easy. All you need to do is fill out the short form at http://sharecash.org/register.php and then you can proceed to upload your files.
To get good amount of download, you should upload something that many people will be interested to see. You'll want to share your file with as many Internet users as possible to maximize your earning. So, some marketing works are needed. You might try to post about it in related forums, invite your friends in social networking communities to download your file..... All these can add your download up and so as your earning. You can read more about tips of getting download at http://sharecash.org/tips.php.
Not every download earns
According to the users who have got paid, Share Cash is just looking for US and UK download. Users from other countries downloaded your file will most probably not counted for earning.
No. 6 – Freelancing
Nowadays, the Internet is full of freelance working opportunities. Most of these freelance job opportunities were posted on the freelance service websites by the companies and e-entrepreneurs who need help in their business.
The daily posted freelance job opportunities include web design, article writing, Internet marketing, programming, editing, online data entry, accounting, admin support, database management, graphic design and many more. So you can search through these freelance websites to find the freelance projects that you can work for and make some extra money.
How to Begin?
You may just start by becoming a freelancer (member) of Guru.com (a freelance service site). You'll be asked to create a profile to include your experience, education, skill, etc. Then you can access the Guru.com job board to search for the freelance works that are right for you and bid for them. They will be other freelancers bidding the same jobs as well. So, make sure you set your price lower and write your proposal well. Who to choose for the job is solely decided by the employer.
Who can join?
Anyone can become a freelancer regardless if you are living in Asia, Europe or US.
The alternative of Guru.com
If you find hard to get a job on Guru.com because of the tough competition there, you might try in Freelancefree.com and DigitalPoint Forum. Freelancecefree works the same way as Guru.com but the marketplace is smaller and so as the competition is lowers. Digital Point (DP) on the other hand is the largest webmaster forum. As a member of DP, you can post ads about your freelance services and also find freelance works that you're interested in the Buy, Sell or Trade section of the forum. There is also competition in DP forum, but getting works is easier.
No. 5 - AssociatedContent.com
The AssociatedContent (AC) is an established huge content network welcoming anyone to participate and contribute content on any topic.
AC has been rewarding content contributors constantly. They pay the members who submit articles in two ways:
1) Upfront Payment - A one time payment to the member for every article that the member submitted and get approved by AC. Usually $3 to $10 for each approved article. Only for US residents at the moment.
2) Performance Payment - It is the payment based on the traffic that your published articles received. The current rate AC offers is $1.50 per one thousand page views generated from your articles. This payment option works well with interesting articles that attract many readers.
This is an extra income opportunity for you if you like to write or have good writing skill.
How to begin?
It's simple to start publishing on AC. Just go to the AC Sign Up page, fill out the form, hit the 'sign up now' button and you are set to publish articles on any topic in AC.
To have a better chance for your articles to get accepted for upfront payment, you are suggested to write articles that wouldn’t lose value over time. How-to articles and guide on doing something are some of the good examples for upfront payment. And you should also do some researches on AC. Try to find topics that still haven't had many articles in them and then submit articles on these topics. These articles are more likely to get accepted for upfront payment.
For performance payment option, it seems harder to earn money because you get only $1.50 for per one thousand views generated by your published articles. But there is a strategy you can use to take advantage on the pay per thousand option. The strategy is keep submitting articles to AC to build up a large collection of articles of yours. Many of your articles will soon attract traffic and from time to time you articles might build up good traffic and earn you passive income of $20 to $50 each month.
No. 4 - Writing and Selling Article Pack
In Associated Content, only US residents get paid right away for approved articles. International members can only submit articles for performance payment which pay $1.50 per thousand page views of your articles.
But in Digital Point Forum, everyone has the same opportunity to make money with articles. As mentioned before, Digital Point is the largest webmaster forum with massive traffic gained. The forum has established a marketplace for people to buy and sell articles. The written articles were often made into a pack of 5 or 10 articles and posted for sales on Digital Point Marketplace at one price. There are quite a lot of buyers purchasing article pack in the forum. This is a marketplace ideal for you to sell your articles.
You don't need to be a pro-writer but you do need some writing skill to do this little business. The process is simple. You first create 5 to 10 articles on a topic, post an ad on the marketplace about it and wait for the potential buyers to contact you via private message of the forum.
Make sure you have a PayPal account to accept payment.
How to begin?
Visit http://forums.digitalpoint.com/register.php to join as a member of the forum. Then start reading the topics and threads that you're interested and post your replies. You need to reach 25 posts and at least 14 days of joining DP before you can post ad on the DP marketplace.
What articles sell often?
I noticed in the DP that the topics like Wordpress, make money online, affiliate marketing, social media marketing are selling quite well. You may start creating 5 articles in one of the topics to test sell in DP. But these are just some of the good demand topics I noticed, you might do some researches in DP to find more profitable topics that you can write for.
Certain simple rules you must keep in mind is that your article must be unique (not published anywhere before) and can only sell once - to one buyer only.
How to write the ad
It's not difficult. You can just refer the existing ads and get an idea on what you should put in. There are only ad title and ad description you need to write. Here's an example of the title"
'5 Wordpress Articles | 100% Unique | $15'
For the ad description, make sure you include the title of each articles and the length of each, the price of the article pack and mention that they were all Copyscape Pass. Tell the viewers to send 'private message' to you if they're interested.
What price to set
The price needs to be low in DP. People like to buy in DP because there were good deals they can find. For a pack of 5 articles, you are suggested to set the price at $15 or lower. You might go for a little higher the price, but if you can't get your articles sold, then cut the price down.
No. 3 - Sell Your Used Stuff
When you want to sell something online, I'm sure you think of eBay. But, you need to pay a listing fee to sell your item on eBay. The listing charge is not refundable. If your item don't sell, you still pay the fee. It costs money to make money in eBay.
However, it's different when you sell in other auction sites such as eBid and Atoncer. Both of the auction sites don't charge listing fee, meaning anything that you list for sale is free. The sites only charge you a 'final value fee' when you've sold an item.
The marketplace of eBid and Atoncer aren't big as eBay but they are quite popular on the Internet as well. Any old or used stuff in your home that you find you can sell, try listing them for sale in eBid and Atoncer. If you’ve sold something successfully, you will make profit. But if your item doesn't sell, you have nothing to lose and you can list again.
Other than free auction sites, Craiglist is another excellent online marketplace to sell your used stuff. Craiglist is a classified ad site that anyone can take advantage on. There is no cost to post ad in Craiglist except you are posting ad into the job category. The great thing about Craiglist is that it divides the ads by city or region, making it easier to find buyers in your town.
Generating sales through Craiglist is certainly possible. And you can always re-list your ad when your previous ad is getting older. But remember to always include picture when you list any item for sale in Craiglist and also in the auction sites. Adding product picture has proven to be effective for increasing responses dramatically.
Oh.. There is one more marketplace I almost forgot to mention. It's the famous Amazon. Like eBid and Atoncer, Amazon doesn't charge listing fee but if you sell an item, they will take a percentage of it.
Your used cell phone can bring you fast cash if you are in US
If you often change cell phone and keep a number of outdated phones over time, don't throw them away. Online company like Cell for Cash wants you old cell phones. You'll get money for sending (free shipping) your old cell phone to Cell for Cash.
The cash value of phones range from few dollars to over one hundred dollars, depending on your phone model, capabilities and demand.
You can right away exchange your cell phone for cash by completing three easy steps in CellforCash.com:
1) Choose your phone model in the list
2) Submit details about your phone manufacturer and model
3) Ship your phone and get cash within 45 to 60 days.
No. 2 - Blogging for Cash
Blogging is hot on the Internet now. A lot of people want to start blogging not just because they can make money with it but also they can use the blog as an ongoing self-promotion tool making them popular over time.
The most direct way to start making money blogging is by becoming a paid bloggers of a blog network. Paid blogging job opportunities seem to be growing these days. More and more were posted on the blogging job boards. The pay offers in these blogging jobs were usually in two forms which are either pay per post e.g. $10/post or pay in a monthly basis e.g. Fixed $200/month.
Here are some blogging job sites that you can search for paid blogging opportunities:
ProBlogger Job Board - A job board established by the well known blogger 'Darren Rowse'. New blogging jobs are updated regularly.
Indeed Job Search Engine - Find the latest blogging jobs listed on different websites.
Bloggerjobs.biz - A blog that updates new blogging opportunities regularly.
Besides blogging job sites, you may check out Weblogs, Inc blog network and the About content networks. Both are quality networks that have opportunities open constantly.
The downsides of blogging for other are that your earning potential is limited and there is almost no self-promotion opportunity for you if you want to build you name in the blogosphere. For this reason, you might want to start your own blog.
It's easy to start a new blog through using the Blogger platform. With just a few simple steps to take in Blogger.com, you can have your new blog up and running and start writing the topic you're passionate about. Once you've published 5 or more posts on your blog, you can start applying for Google AdSense program to have AdSense ads displaying on your blog. This is a very basis way to earn cash from blogging. There are plenty of other ways and programs that you can use for generating revenue from your blog. Take some time to learn them.
While your blog is small and you've earned your first $10. You should buy a custom domain for your blog. A custom name will make your blog looks more professional and it's easier to build creditability.
Blogging is a wide topic. There are many things to learn for sure. You got to put in a lot of time and effort in blog marketing and content creation if you want to turn your blog into a success. As a new blogger, I would suggest you take some free blog marketing courses:
http://www.bloggingbeginners.com
http://becomeablogger.com/roadmap
With the good blogging knowledge you pick up and hard effort on blog marketing, you could be another blogger that makes a living at home.
No. 1 - Completing Offer Online
Completing offer is an easy task that anyone can do. You don't need any writing skill or any other skills and special knowledge to do it.
The process of completing offer is pretty simple. You go to the website that is looking for people to sign up for their free offer, fill out the form on the site, confirmed your email address and done; you have completed an offer that will make you money.
Every time when you have complete an offer, you just leave it and wait for the online company to approve it. Your offer will be approved as long as you have completed it. Each approved offer will earn you $0.50 to $1.00.
There are also high paid offers that can earn you $5.00 to $50.00 per offer. But you need to enter your credit card details and probably get charge for a small fee when signing up for a high paid offer.
By completing 20 to 40 offers monthly, you can earn some nice extra cash every month.
Get paid to complete opportunity is only available to US, Canada and UK residents only.
Sites that you can join to complete offers:
Treasuretrooper.com - Registration required. Currently have over one hundred thousand members. Inside Treasure Trooper you will find hundreds of offers you can complete and earn. The majority are free offers that can be completed easily. These free offers range from $0.50 to $1.00 of earning upon completion. Payout is $20 by Check or PayPal. Treasure Trooper is a real paying site. They were started few years ago.
CashCrete.com - Works very much similar with Treasure Trooper. Registration required. Have a lot of high paid offers. Payment only by check. Another real paying site.
If you enjoy signing up offers, you may do both in Treasure Trooper and Cash Crete. This certainly will earn you more.
Both sites also offer a referral program for members to earn more by referring new member in. The referral programs are opened to US and international members.
There you have it, The Top 10 Free Ways to Get Money Online. Hope the information really helps you to earn cash on the Internet. The sites that I’ve mentioned and recommended were real and they are really paying people. So, don’t worry, you wouldn’t get scammed.
No. 10 - Paid Survey
You might already heard about paid survey if you have searched on the Internet for while. The Internet ads told you that you can make a living doing paid survey. So, is that really true? Well, the answer is of course no. The ad messages were exaggerated. But it's true that paid survey can potentially earn you extra cash in monthly basis.
How to begin?
It's simple. Just go to paid survey directory like Yellowsurveys.com and join as many market research companies listed in the directory as possible. There is also a list of companies that are listed under the 'Most Popular' in the Yellowsurveys.com directory. Make sure you join all the companies in the 'Most Popular' category.
The signing up process will take you hours of time since you are going to join many companies. But once you've have completed all the sign up, your work is done. What you need to do next is wait for the paid survey invitation emails send to you by these companies. Not every company pays cash to participants who completed survey. Some companies offer vouchers (Amazon, etc), gift and products.
Who can join?
Anyone over 18 years in US and Canada. Most companies welcome any country but the paid survey invitations are often fit for US and Canada residents only.
Patience is needed
Paid survey isn't a way to get fast money. You would have got a few surveys for the first month and earning less than $10 in total. But, when time gets longer, you might start getting more surveys regularly. At that time, you might get about $30 to $100 per month in average.
No. 9 - Reviewing Products and Services

The shopping information sites will help these Internet users by providing reviews written by those people who already tried the products or services.

For each review that the shopping information site approved, the submitter will be paid.
You don't have to be a professional writer to write review. Writing product review is about sharing your experience and opinions about the product you have used. Just be straight forward and tell the truth will do.
Sites that pay for product review:
ReviewStream.com - Pay $2 per product review. But the review rate might change anytime. No registration needed to submit review. You'll earn also for each time a reader vote on your review. $0.10 per vote.

SoftwareJudge.com - The site publishes reviews about software and online games. If you have something to say about a software or a game you have tried, you can share your opinion in Softwarejudge. The pay is between $1 to $50 per approved review depending on the quality.
No. 8 - Sharing Photos and Pictures
If you are passionate about photography, then you can turn your hobby into cash. Break.com was all the while paying users for uploading pictures that get featured on their picture gallery. You'll be paid $50 for each photo that Break chose to feature in their picture gallery.
How to begin?
Only registered members of Break can upload photo. Registration is free and can be done at this page. Once you have signed up, you can start uploading your photos.
You may take a look at Break Gallery first to see what sorts of pictures and photos that Breaks like to feature before uploading your photos. This will give you an idea of what photos have a better chance to be featured. Amazing, interesting or funny pictures are often good for getting featured in Break Gallery.
Some rules to keep in mind are that the picture that you upload must be original (not copying from other site) and you have the sole ownership to it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be paid even though your pictured got featured.

They choose to use what pictures they like for their publishing. Every time they choose to use your picture, you'll earn a small fee. So, the more people use your pictures, the more you'll earn.

No. 7 - Uploading Files
Have you heard of websites that allow Internet users to upload files and earn money every time their file is downloaded by someone? There were actually quite a lot of these file-sharing websites offering this service. But because the pay is too low that many people become not interested on them.
However, there is a file-sharing website which I recently come across worth mentioning. The site is called Share Cash. Share Cash offers the users who upload files $0.20 to $0.60 per download. That's $200 to $600 per 1,000 download. The pay rate is very much higher than most other file-sharing sites which usually offer only $1 to $3 per thousand download. If you have interesting files to share with people on the Internet, why not share them through this site and earn more cash for each download of your file.
How to Begin?
You need to become a member of Share Cash to upload files. Registration is fast and easy. All you need to do is fill out the short form at http://sharecash.org/register.php and then you can proceed to upload your files.
To get good amount of download, you should upload something that many people will be interested to see. You'll want to share your file with as many Internet users as possible to maximize your earning. So, some marketing works are needed. You might try to post about it in related forums, invite your friends in social networking communities to download your file..... All these can add your download up and so as your earning. You can read more about tips of getting download at http://sharecash.org/tips.php.
Not every download earns
According to the users who have got paid, Share Cash is just looking for US and UK download. Users from other countries downloaded your file will most probably not counted for earning.
No. 6 – Freelancing
Nowadays, the Internet is full of freelance working opportunities. Most of these freelance job opportunities were posted on the freelance service websites by the companies and e-entrepreneurs who need help in their business.
The daily posted freelance job opportunities include web design, article writing, Internet marketing, programming, editing, online data entry, accounting, admin support, database management, graphic design and many more. So you can search through these freelance websites to find the freelance projects that you can work for and make some extra money.
How to Begin?
You may just start by becoming a freelancer (member) of Guru.com (a freelance service site). You'll be asked to create a profile to include your experience, education, skill, etc. Then you can access the Guru.com job board to search for the freelance works that are right for you and bid for them. They will be other freelancers bidding the same jobs as well. So, make sure you set your price lower and write your proposal well. Who to choose for the job is solely decided by the employer.
Who can join?
Anyone can become a freelancer regardless if you are living in Asia, Europe or US.
The alternative of Guru.com
If you find hard to get a job on Guru.com because of the tough competition there, you might try in Freelancefree.com and DigitalPoint Forum. Freelancecefree works the same way as Guru.com but the marketplace is smaller and so as the competition is lowers. Digital Point (DP) on the other hand is the largest webmaster forum. As a member of DP, you can post ads about your freelance services and also find freelance works that you're interested in the Buy, Sell or Trade section of the forum. There is also competition in DP forum, but getting works is easier.
No. 5 - AssociatedContent.com
The AssociatedContent (AC) is an established huge content network welcoming anyone to participate and contribute content on any topic.
AC has been rewarding content contributors constantly. They pay the members who submit articles in two ways:
1) Upfront Payment - A one time payment to the member for every article that the member submitted and get approved by AC. Usually $3 to $10 for each approved article. Only for US residents at the moment.
2) Performance Payment - It is the payment based on the traffic that your published articles received. The current rate AC offers is $1.50 per one thousand page views generated from your articles. This payment option works well with interesting articles that attract many readers.
This is an extra income opportunity for you if you like to write or have good writing skill.
How to begin?
It's simple to start publishing on AC. Just go to the AC Sign Up page, fill out the form, hit the 'sign up now' button and you are set to publish articles on any topic in AC.
To have a better chance for your articles to get accepted for upfront payment, you are suggested to write articles that wouldn’t lose value over time. How-to articles and guide on doing something are some of the good examples for upfront payment. And you should also do some researches on AC. Try to find topics that still haven't had many articles in them and then submit articles on these topics. These articles are more likely to get accepted for upfront payment.
For performance payment option, it seems harder to earn money because you get only $1.50 for per one thousand views generated by your published articles. But there is a strategy you can use to take advantage on the pay per thousand option. The strategy is keep submitting articles to AC to build up a large collection of articles of yours. Many of your articles will soon attract traffic and from time to time you articles might build up good traffic and earn you passive income of $20 to $50 each month.
No. 4 - Writing and Selling Article Pack
In Associated Content, only US residents get paid right away for approved articles. International members can only submit articles for performance payment which pay $1.50 per thousand page views of your articles.
But in Digital Point Forum, everyone has the same opportunity to make money with articles. As mentioned before, Digital Point is the largest webmaster forum with massive traffic gained. The forum has established a marketplace for people to buy and sell articles. The written articles were often made into a pack of 5 or 10 articles and posted for sales on Digital Point Marketplace at one price. There are quite a lot of buyers purchasing article pack in the forum. This is a marketplace ideal for you to sell your articles.
You don't need to be a pro-writer but you do need some writing skill to do this little business. The process is simple. You first create 5 to 10 articles on a topic, post an ad on the marketplace about it and wait for the potential buyers to contact you via private message of the forum.
Make sure you have a PayPal account to accept payment.
How to begin?
Visit http://forums.digitalpoint.com/register.php to join as a member of the forum. Then start reading the topics and threads that you're interested and post your replies. You need to reach 25 posts and at least 14 days of joining DP before you can post ad on the DP marketplace.
What articles sell often?
I noticed in the DP that the topics like Wordpress, make money online, affiliate marketing, social media marketing are selling quite well. You may start creating 5 articles in one of the topics to test sell in DP. But these are just some of the good demand topics I noticed, you might do some researches in DP to find more profitable topics that you can write for.
Certain simple rules you must keep in mind is that your article must be unique (not published anywhere before) and can only sell once - to one buyer only.
How to write the ad
It's not difficult. You can just refer the existing ads and get an idea on what you should put in. There are only ad title and ad description you need to write. Here's an example of the title"
'5 Wordpress Articles | 100% Unique | $15'
For the ad description, make sure you include the title of each articles and the length of each, the price of the article pack and mention that they were all Copyscape Pass. Tell the viewers to send 'private message' to you if they're interested.
What price to set
The price needs to be low in DP. People like to buy in DP because there were good deals they can find. For a pack of 5 articles, you are suggested to set the price at $15 or lower. You might go for a little higher the price, but if you can't get your articles sold, then cut the price down.
No. 3 - Sell Your Used Stuff
When you want to sell something online, I'm sure you think of eBay. But, you need to pay a listing fee to sell your item on eBay. The listing charge is not refundable. If your item don't sell, you still pay the fee. It costs money to make money in eBay.
However, it's different when you sell in other auction sites such as eBid and Atoncer. Both of the auction sites don't charge listing fee, meaning anything that you list for sale is free. The sites only charge you a 'final value fee' when you've sold an item.
The marketplace of eBid and Atoncer aren't big as eBay but they are quite popular on the Internet as well. Any old or used stuff in your home that you find you can sell, try listing them for sale in eBid and Atoncer. If you’ve sold something successfully, you will make profit. But if your item doesn't sell, you have nothing to lose and you can list again.
Other than free auction sites, Craiglist is another excellent online marketplace to sell your used stuff. Craiglist is a classified ad site that anyone can take advantage on. There is no cost to post ad in Craiglist except you are posting ad into the job category. The great thing about Craiglist is that it divides the ads by city or region, making it easier to find buyers in your town.
Generating sales through Craiglist is certainly possible. And you can always re-list your ad when your previous ad is getting older. But remember to always include picture when you list any item for sale in Craiglist and also in the auction sites. Adding product picture has proven to be effective for increasing responses dramatically.
Oh.. There is one more marketplace I almost forgot to mention. It's the famous Amazon. Like eBid and Atoncer, Amazon doesn't charge listing fee but if you sell an item, they will take a percentage of it.

No. 2 - Blogging for Cash
Blogging is hot on the Internet now. A lot of people want to start blogging not just because they can make money with it but also they can use the blog as an ongoing self-promotion tool making them popular over time.
The most direct way to start making money blogging is by becoming a paid bloggers of a blog network. Paid blogging job opportunities seem to be growing these days. More and more were posted on the blogging job boards. The pay offers in these blogging jobs were usually in two forms which are either pay per post e.g. $10/post or pay in a monthly basis e.g. Fixed $200/month.
Here are some blogging job sites that you can search for paid blogging opportunities:
ProBlogger Job Board - A job board established by the well known blogger 'Darren Rowse'. New blogging jobs are updated regularly.
Indeed Job Search Engine - Find the latest blogging jobs listed on different websites.
Bloggerjobs.biz - A blog that updates new blogging opportunities regularly.
Besides blogging job sites, you may check out Weblogs, Inc blog network and the About content networks. Both are quality networks that have opportunities open constantly.
The downsides of blogging for other are that your earning potential is limited and there is almost no self-promotion opportunity for you if you want to build you name in the blogosphere. For this reason, you might want to start your own blog.
It's easy to start a new blog through using the Blogger platform. With just a few simple steps to take in Blogger.com, you can have your new blog up and running and start writing the topic you're passionate about. Once you've published 5 or more posts on your blog, you can start applying for Google AdSense program to have AdSense ads displaying on your blog. This is a very basis way to earn cash from blogging. There are plenty of other ways and programs that you can use for generating revenue from your blog. Take some time to learn them.
While your blog is small and you've earned your first $10. You should buy a custom domain for your blog. A custom name will make your blog looks more professional and it's easier to build creditability.
Blogging is a wide topic. There are many things to learn for sure. You got to put in a lot of time and effort in blog marketing and content creation if you want to turn your blog into a success. As a new blogger, I would suggest you take some free blog marketing courses:
http://www.bloggingbeginners.com
http://becomeablogger.com/roadmap
With the good blogging knowledge you pick up and hard effort on blog marketing, you could be another blogger that makes a living at home.

Every time when you have complete an offer, you just leave it and wait for the online company to approve it. Your offer will be approved as long as you have completed it. Each approved offer will earn you $0.50 to $1.00.
There are also high paid offers that can earn you $5.00 to $50.00 per offer. But you need to enter your credit card details and probably get charge for a small fee when signing up for a high paid offer.
By completing 20 to 40 offers monthly, you can earn some nice extra cash every month.

4 Elements of a Successful, Profitable Website
Does this sound like your business? Do have a beautiful website describing your products or services, but you’re not sure what to do from there? Do you pay a web designer large sums of money to make changes every month?
Well, put on your happy cap folks because today I’m going to discuss some of the elements of the most successful and profitable websites out there on the Internet. It’s a widespread myth that the only people making money on the internet are the ones selling products about how to make money on the internet. Profitable websites come from all kinds of industries, all kinds of styles, shapes and colors. There are a few simple low or no cost things that any small business entrepreneur can do immediately to increase their web exposure, drive more traffic to their site, and ultimately make more sales.
Know Your Website Purpose
Before you start to create (or re-create) your website, consider what purpose it serves in your business? A website can be used to sell a product or service exclusively, to give information, as a brochure to attract more business or showcase projects, or even a combination of things. Let’s say, for example, that you sell fishing equipment. Your website might include articles for fishing enthusiasts, tips to catch bigger fish as well as a store for fishing equipment and supplies. This would be an example of a combination site selling multiple related products.
If you are an author selling a book, a simple sales site might serve you well. With a simple sales site, you have only one or two pages to the whole site, featuring the product you wish to sell. The only information on the site might be the letter describing the book, and links to “purchase now”. This is a simple and very effective method for using the internet to produce revenue from your site.
Lead Your Visitor to Action
Have you ever been to someone’s web site, looked at the front page, and left because you were confused? While it may be a common practice to put everything about your company’s product or service on the front page, it’s not a good idea, for exactly the reason I described above. You want your visitors to stay on your site and DO something. For each page on your web site, decide what you want your visitor to do. Should they sign up for a newsletter? Buy a product? Look at the pictures of your work? Make it clear and easy to understand and your visitor will happily tour your website.
Know Your Target Market
It is a common misconception with entrepreneurs that the product or service sold in the business is a good idea for “everyone”. While it may be true that everyone needs the product, not everyone will buy it. Therefore, you must know who you are trying to attract with your web site. Ask yourself these questions to get started:
* Are my customers male or female?
* What level of education do they have?
* What age group do they fall into?
* What are their hobbies? Interests?
* What do they read?
* Do they have children?
* What is their level of income?
* What are their biggest problems?
This will help you to get a clearer picture of your customers. With this information in mind, you can then begin to create marketing or advertising plans that will get in front of the best prospects to buy your product.
Capture Visitors’ Names
One of the main reasons to even have a website is to capture the names and/or email addresses of your visitors. In this scenario, a prospect or potential customer visits your site and leaves his or her email address and first name with you. This gives you permission to send the person relevant email about your business, updates or special offers you may have. Maybe you have a new tip for using your product that your customers would want to know. Why not send the tip to both your customers and the people who have visited your site?
So how do you get someone to leave their name? You could offer a newsletter or weekly tips, a free e-course, e-book or special report. Offer a coupon or discount. Make your offer appropriate for the content of your site, and your visitors will gladly leave their email addresses and names. Put them at ease by letting them know that you are not collecting their names to sell to an outside source.
By capturing your visitors’ names, growing your list of email addresses and sending relevant, responsible email to your customers and prospects, you are building a relationship with them. In any business, the relationship is the intangible, powerful force that creates loyal, repeat customers.

What You need to make money online? Nothing!
Making money online is more and more popular in past months and I can freely say in past years, just look at Google search trends and you will understand what I am talking about.
Today I will to explain how sometime can be easy to make quick cash. Let say that there is a thousands ways to make money today using Internet. We will take CraigsList as great example. What we need to make $100 or $1000 weekly on CraigsList? Nothing! Don't believe? Ok, it is not nothing, but You need just some time and patience, and no money investment. We will talk about drop shipping today. So what is drop shipping? That is popular way for retailers to sell any merchandise without having it in stock. Actually, without having any stock at all. Or to be more precise, You can have physical online shop from shoes to iPods without leaving Your home or investing in stock.
I hear You asking "how that is possible?", easy, that is something called drop shipping. In drop shipping You make an online shop (buy domain for $10 and that is Your only money "investment"), use open source cart software like oSCommerce (absolutely free), decide which merchandise You will selling, for example, let say iPods, use Google to find manufacture which support drop shipping, and finally use CragsList and other free classifieds to promote Your business. I know that You still believe that this what I am talking is possible. Ok, I will go again, step by step, and I hope that then everything will be clear. To become drop shipper seller You don't need money to invest. You don't need to have stock. You don't need to have anything. Nothing. Nada :)
Now you for example decide to sell t-shirts. When You decided that Your future job will be an t-shirt online shop, you are buying domain something like my-t-shirt-shop.com or something. Then You are using Google to find company that will cooperate with you, or in other words, that will make t-shirts and send to Your clients. Just use Google. Then You need to find payment processor to accept credit card payments from your clients, and again use Google, I used plimus, authorize and similar services, it still cost you nothing, except of domain name (about $10 depending on your ISP.) After You found and signed online contract with payment processor, you need to build site, so You will use osCommerce or some other cart software, download images from manufacturer that You choose and create 10-50 products. After this you are ready to go.
Start posing ads on CraigsList and similar service attracting customers with low prices, high quality and similar of Your t-shirt. When people (buyers) start coming to Your site, and start buying Your t-shirts, what happens is next: when You receive money for order of 1 or 100 t-shirts, you are paying half of that su (approximately) to Your manufacturer and sending him Your buyer details (name and address), manufacturer packing Your order and sending to Your buyer. Buyer receives t-shirt and he is very satisfied. You made 30%-50% net profit and You are happy too. Manufacturer sold his products and made profit so he is happy to.
All of You are happy :) I hope that You understand that You can really make some money doing nothing, just with some initial work, good idea and a bit of creativity and patience.

Pay Per Lead Affiliate Programs Are The Holy Grail For Beginners
If you are trying to make money online for more than one month, I bet you already heard about affiliate marketing. It's the fastest easiest way to get started online and make some real money. What most beginners don't know is that you don't need to sell anything to make money with affiliate programs. You can make money when a website visitor perform an action like signing up for more information or downloading a toolbar or screensaver. Those pay per lead programs are called Cost Per Action (CPA). If you are new to CPA programs, let me show you how it works.
1. Getting started
There are two big schools of thought. The first is that you should pick your market first, and then, pick a product that is proven to sell in this market. The second school of thought says that you choose the product that people already buy first, and then, you promote it to hungry buyers in the market. Personally, I do both, but if you are just getting started and didn't make your first sale yet, I suggest that you choose option two, because beginners generally struggle to find a niche.
2. Grabbing your CPA offer
This is a little bit more tricky than traditional pay per sale affiliate products (you are paid when someone actually buy the product you are promoting). Let's say you want to start with Market Leverage. With the CPA affiliate network like Market Leverage for example, you will need to go through an application process. Most of the time, you will be asked how you will promote the offer, and they will also ask you for a website's url. Just say that you are going to promote with seo. If you have the budget, you can also say PPC. Once you sign up, an affiliate manager will contact you to see if you are a real person, and ask you a couple of questions to see if you qualify. Don't worry. Here is a little known trick that will help you to be accepted in any affiliate network. Please be honest. Don't tell your affiliate manager that you earn $2000.00 per month when you never made a dime online. Just tell the truth. Here is the twist what should get you in easily. Just tell to your affiliate manager that you are brand new and that you never made a dime online, but that you are going to do whatever you can to make a lot of commissions every month for his network only. You get it?
Here is why it works:
His role is to help you earn more. He is not doing this because he loves you, but the reason is that when you make money, the affiliate manager makes money. If you earn more, he earns more as well. When you tell him that you are going to make money EXCLUSIVELY for this network, he will think twice, and you'll have more chances to be approved if you are just getting started. If you are not accepted (it happens sometimes), don't worry, you have two things to do:
1. Call again, Just call the affiliate manager after one week, and he will see that you are serious.
2. Go the the next CPA affiliate networks, there are dozens of them and you should get accepted when you apply what I teach.

If you have the budget, you can also say PPC. Once you sign up, an affiliate manager will contact you to see if you are a real person, and ask you a couple of questions to see if you qualify. Don't worry. Here is a little known trick that will help you to be accepted in any affiliate network. Please be honest. Don't tell your affiliate manager that you earn $2000.00 per month when you never made a dime online. Just tell the truth. Here is the twist what should get you in easily. Just tell to your affiliate manager that you are brand new and that you never made a dime online, but that you are going to do whatever you can to make a lot of commissions every month for his network only. You get it?
Here is why it works:
His role is to help you earn more. He is not doing this because he loves you, but the reason is that when you make money, the affiliate manager makes money. If you earn more, he earns more as well. When you tell him that you are going to make money EXCLUSIVELY for this network, he will think twice, and you'll have more chances to be approved if you are just getting started. If you are not accepted (it happens sometimes), don't worry, you have two things to do:
1. Call again, Just call the affiliate manager after one week, and he will see that you are serious.
2. Go the the next CPA affiliate networks, there are dozens of them and you should get accepted when you apply what I teach.

The Most Famous PTC Services
I’m going to write about the most famous paid-to-click services in Internet. They give cents for clicking advertisements.
What means PTC?
PTC means Paid-to-Click, people often use it as PPC (Pay-Per-Click). By using these services users have ability to earn for clicking adverts. At most site they pay one cent ($0.01) for one click. The clicking is limited per day. The companies keep usually half of their earnings and give 50% to clicking users.
The most famous ones: AdBux and bux.to
The first company was Adbux, the idea and the site was developed in 2002. Adbux serves a lot of ads, but nowadays they are very cheap and clicking don’t worth anymore. Their rival is bux.to, the second: Adbux reported it sometimes; they say all content of bux.to is stolen from AdBux and idea too.
Bux.to got a lot of registered users – the first ranked everywhere, but in the last months they changed Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. They didn’t pay me my $12 requested in November, 2008. - requesting limit at PayPal changed to $50. You only can invest your money to adverts. There are a lot of bots and 900 of 1K clicks are taken by these. This is why bux.to doesn’t worth to use anymore.
Neobux, the most secure.
This is the best PTC in my opinion, they have a lot of registered users, paying instantly to PayPal or AlertPay at $2. They grant 50% referral earnings for each user and there is Neobux security card too. By ordering security card, your account will be secured and stealing wont be possible anymore. NeoBux has SSL security on the site, and they use verified PayPal accounts too. The ad- count is very low, only 4 daily.
