Make Money Online Writing Hubpages

Guest post by Justin Vanhove

If you are looking to make some quick cash online or build some valuable inbound links to your website(or both) you should consider writing hubpages. Hubpages are one of the easiest ways to make money online. Writing a hubpage is virtually the same thing as writing an article but with way more benefits. Most people distribute articles to articles directories for free in exchange for a link to their website.

Then the article directories get to cash in on all your hard work and make money by placing ads next to your article while all you get is 2 inbound links. Well, with a hubpage you get that same valuable link to your website or blog, but you get to keep the money the article makes. Instead of being limited to two links in a small resource box at the bottom of the article you get to place as many links as you want, wherever you want.

Hubpages is a website that allows members to write as many article (referred to as hub pages) and place as many links to their website as they want. The article do not have to be approved and are instantly published with the click of a mouse. Even better, you can still customize your pages with bullets, bold lettering, links, and much more if you know zero html. This website is set up so even the most inexperienced internet marketers can achieve success in making money online and raising link popularity.

5 Ways You Can Make Money Online With A Hubpage
  • Google Adsense Ads
  • Kontera Text Link Ads
  • Sell Amazon Products
  • Post eBay Affiliate Products
  • Post Your Own Links To Affiliate Products
My Success With Hubpages
I started writing hub pages at first just to gain some valuable inbound links to my website to raise my link popularity and increase my search engine rankings. Since I already had a google ad sense I decided I might as well place ads on it can collect a small amount of change. I did not expect to make much money or really any money for that matter.

In 6 months I made $250 from Google ad sense ads alone. It was a pleasant surprise . After that I decided to incorporate all the other monetization models hub pages offers into all my articles. The result was just what I expected. I went from making about $1.50 per day to around $5 per day(roughly $100 a month) when I averaged in the additional revenue from the Kontera text links, amazon products, eBay products, and links I placed to affiliate products.

While it is not much money, it certainly beats writing articles for free and seeing none of the revenue. If you have written any article for article distribution I would recommend distributing those article to hub pages as well. You will earn a fair share of revenue from them not to mention tons of valuable inbound links.

Can You Really Become Rich Filling out Paid Online Surveys?

Guest post by Robert Marsh

In recent years one very popular way to make money online has been the creation of paid surveys. You heard that correct !! You can actually earn cash from filling and completing online surveys and questionnaires on the Internet.

It's really no surprise that this has become so widely popular as there are many Corporations like Mcdonalds and IBM who administer and utilize them to maximize their profitability.. They simply collect and gather information with the help of marketing research companies and pay people like you and me for giving our opinions and preferences about their products and services. This better enables these companies to improve and bring in more long term cash flow and revenue !

With all this survey madness, comes the fact there is a lot of hypsters out there who say you can become filthy rich taking them. You know the ones that say make 10k a month completing Surveys.

Is this True or just down right fiction?

Personally, I have been taking free paid surveys for quite some time and have been able to earn some nice consistent money with them. And I can honestly say without hesitation that you will NOT become filthy rich doing them. PERIOD!

However, I will say that with a little time and work you can really make money online and develop a very generous monthly cash flow of $200 to $1000! Personally, I know a number of individuals who earn in excess of $1,200 month. This is not easy and does require some time and effort to reach that level.

But the important thing to realize is that paid surveys can be a great option to make free money online from the comfort of your home at absolutely NO COST. Just make sure to take the time to find a credible and trusted list of the most legitimate paid surveys to start out with.

Quickly Increase Your Website’s Inbound Links By Spying On Your Competition

Guest post by Justin Vanhove

If you are a website owner or if you have a blog you know that getting inbound links can be a tedious process. Even more tedious is that you have to find relevant links. Most webmaster’s obtain their links from link exchanges, getting accepted into online directories, distributing articles to article directories, and submitting links to social bookmarking websites.

Those are all great ways of getting in pointing links to your website or blog. However, it is not an efficient process and can be quite time consuming. It takes a lot of time to find relevant websites to submit your articles to, directories to submit your site or blog to, and contact webmasters to see if they are interested in exchanging links. Social bookmarking is the only real method that does not take a whole lot of time.

Enough about that, the rest of the post is about how you can build links faster and more efficiently.

First identify exactly what your website is about. This should not be a problem if you built your site/blog around a niche. Then go to the four major search engines. They are Google, Yahoo, Live, and Ask which account for over 95% of all online searches. Type in your website’s primary keyword or the keyword of your homepage. Write down the four websites that rank number one in each major search engines results page. You will end up with exactly four websites, one for each search engine unless a website ranks at the top of more than one major search engine.

Then find out where they got their links from. That will explain a lot about why they are at the top. In almost all cases the websites at the top of search result pages have tons of relevant links. That is the only way to rank high for competitive keywords. To find where their links came from you can use a host of free tools that are available online. Do not pay for this information. You can get it for free.

I use a free tool called Search It. It is provided by SiteSell.com which is a popular online company that specializes in the website building niche. The tool was originally created only for customers of the company. Recently it has been used by the company as a marketing tool, a tool to build credibility for Sitesell and eventually lead to more sales. That is why it is now free.

You can use Search It for a number of things. One of the things you can use it for is to find the back links of your competition. That is what I primarily use it for and it has saved me tons of time. Instead of having to search for inbound link opportunities I can get a huge list of them in a minute. A search of a website’s back links is more like a link opportunity search than just wanting to know where they got their links from. Rather than having to perform tons of searches for relevant inbound links opportunities you will have a list of 10,000 or more and can zoom through the process.

Other than links from random websites who just happen to like that site, all other links will be prime link opportunities. Also, since you are researching the links of the top websites in your niche chances are those links will be highly relevant. Highly relevant links are given more weight and are worth more to the search engines. The higher the page rank and relevancy of the link are what determine how much a particular link is worth when ranking pages for search results.

When doing this you will still be obtaining most of your links through article distribution, online website directories, and social bookmarking. Instead of having to go out and look for them they come to you in less than a second. The only thing you will have to find on your own manually is webmaster’s that will agree to exchange links. As for link exchanges they may not worth the time and effort depending on who you exchange links with. As a rule if a website has more links than you it will be worth a exchange. If not it will not be worth your time.

Now days search engines are getting more advanced and it is important to have one way links. Those are links from a website that you do not link to, therefore making it not a link exchange. That adds a lot of extra weight to the links ultimately boosting search engine rankings. In short you want one way links because they are the most valuable links. This method will help you accomplish just that and do it in a timely process.

Two Pricing Mistakes to Avoid When Making Money on eBay

It can be very simple to become successful when it comes to running an eBay business to make money online. This is especially true if you have already established a good reputation as a seller on eBay. However, running an eBay business can be quite frustrating if you are just starting out. Below are a few simple tips you can follow to make money with your eBay business even if you are just starting out.

Setting the right starting price for your product is among the most important things you can do to be successful with your eBay business. There are two mistakes you must steer clear of when setting your starting price. The first is setting a price much higher than your competitors and the second is setting is too low compared to its value.

When you set your starting price much higher than your competitors, you quickly lose the interest of your potential bidders. For this reason, it is imperative for anyone who has an eBay business to study the selling behavior of their competitors. Check out other sellers with similar items as what you are offering with your eBay business. From there, you will have a better idea of how high you should set your own starting prices.

Setting your starting prices too low, on the other hand, will keep you from your potential to make money online. You should always consider the value of your product when you have an eBay business. Whenever you feel your product has much more value than your competitor’s starting prices, you can set your price low as well. However, you must be sure to utilize eBay’s Reserve Price feature. This will allow you to attract more bids and sell your item only when the reserve price you set has been met.

These are two of the most important things for you to take note of when you truly want to make money out of your own eBay business. By steering clear of these pricing mistakes, you can surely achieve your potential to make money online.

Stop Being Fooled By Cash Generating "Systems"

Guest post by Bruce Alan

If you are searching for ways to make money online you will undoubtedly come across countless money making "systems" on the Internet. These ebooks or programs all promise to make you more money than you probably think is possible. The word "system" is used a lot because that almost makes it sound like a machine that does the work for you while you sit back and reap the rewards. A system might be a set of instructions that anyone can follow and replicate over and over to make good money. This sounds very enticing to the uninitiated searcher of information.

Everyone hunting for money making ideas would love to find a real "system" to generate cash online. We are all looking for the easy way out and that is why lotteries are so popular across the world. It is very easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there is some secret out there that the rest of the world knows about that we don't that could change our lives. This is the mindset that Internet marketers prey upon.

Unfortunately, the only system that really works is plain old hard work along with an understanding of some basic online principles. You will find that in most cases, those that succeed online have not done so by accident. For instance, this blog ranks #1 for the Google search term "make money online" which is searched for more than a fair amount of times everyday. That search term is widely sought after among Internet marketers and it is by no fluke that this blog is on top. Alan did not get to the top by mistake or by some stroke of luck but by hard work. A prolonged solid linking campaign along with frequent posting has proven to pay off for him along with patience and perseverance. It did not happen overnight and your path to online success will not happen right away either.

No matter how many times people are warned about online scams and systems that don't deliver, they will undoubtedly continue to be fooled by Internet marketers who are masters of enticing advertising that sounds too good to pass up. If you are one of those that just has to buy the next money making ebook or system, I suggest two things. First, make sure it has a money back guarantee which you can take advantage of if you need to. Second, always click out of the online ad once to see if a discount coupon comes up. Many online money making ebooks and programs will give you a discount of $10.00 up to one half off if they think you are leaving without purchasing. So if you must have that ebook, at least try to get it for a discounted amount if you can.

Your permanent anchor text links in this blog will help increase your search engine positions.

Make Money Online by Buying and Selling Domain Names

Guest Post by The Old VIC

There are many ways you can make money online, one way which you may not have considered, but where big money is possible, is by buying and selling domain names.

The idea is simple, you buy a domain name e.g. ZitBusters.com, you list it for sale, at the industry auction sites such as Sedo or Afternic (or possibly even eBay) someone offers you a vast amount of money for it and you sell it. Well, that’s the idea, the reality is somewhat more prosaic.

To sell the domain names you buy, you will probably need to actively market them i.e. find the e-mail addresses of people that you think may be interested in your name and fire off an e-mail. If you’re lucky or the name you have is an obviously excellent name then you will get an answer saying something along the lines of “How much do you want for your name?”, which is when negotiations begin.

So what is an ‘excellent domain name’. Generally, they are dot coms (dot coms are worth around ten times as much as dot nets) and they are generic e.g. shoes.com, beer.com, business.com.

How much are generic dot coms worth? Well, the highest sale so far in 2008 is Fund.com which sold for the tidy sum of $9.9 million, Invest.com came in at number 5 and sold for $1.015 million, NewlyWeds.com on the other hand was number 53 and sold for $130,000. Sales are reported every week over at DNJournal.com where you can also see a list of the highest selling names of the year.

You may have seen the iReport channel on CNN. Where did they get the name iReport from? They bought it from self-styled ‘Domain King’ Rick Schwartz for $750,000. Rick Schwartz is one of the most successful and well-known of the domainers in the domain name industry. Other big names to look for are Kevin Ham, who has a portfolio of domain names worth around $300 million, Frank Schilling, Sahar, Rick Latona, Yun Ye who sold his portfolio of domain names for $164 million and many more. All these guys have interesting tales of how they got to be where they are by simply buying domain names, hanging on to them for a while then selling them on for a profit.

So what sort of names should you buy? As mentioned above, generic names are the best but of course most of the dot coms are already gone. So if you want a good generic name you may have to buy it off the person who already owns it. Alternatively you can wade through long lists of names that are dropping (i.e. not being renewed) at places like TDNam and Snapnames. Or of course you can try and discover a gem that no-one else has registered (very difficult as all dictionary word dot coms were registered long ago).

A word of warning, some registrars are unscrupulous and if they see you have looked for a name but not registered it, they will then ‘reserve’ it for you, by which they really mean block it and sell it to you for an inflated price. Do a search on network solution front running. Godaddy are the biggest for registering domains and they seem to be OK, but if you do find a good name that isn’t registered you would be well-advised to register it quickly as there are very few secrets on the Internet. The price for registering a dot com is around $10, but do a search for ‘discount codes’ and you will probably find coupons that will give you a 20% discount. If you use the code 199TEST with Godaddy you should be able to register a domain name for 99 cents, but it only works once. Bear in mind also that there is a 5 day ‘grace period’ and if you change your mind registrars will often cancel your domain name and refund the fee if you ask nicely.

More words of warning, steer clear of trademarked names i.e. stuff like Google, Microsoft, Armani etc... you will only cause yourself a lot of trouble.

While waiting for your names to sell you can either develop the name into a blog or a site or you can ‘park’ them . Parking them is a simple way of creating a page with some ads. on which may or may not bring in some money while you wait to sell your domain. You need to sign up with a ‘parking’ company. The easiest one to sign up with is Namedrive. In an interesting development Google has decided to set up its own parking service. This after previously criticizing parking companies as offering no value and being of no use etc.... Now that Google has set up its own parked pages it appears that parking domain names is cool. Go figure. (From what I hear though, most domainers are not recommending Google’s parked service due to the many complications involved.)

For more information about the whole domain name business you can visit forums like NamePros. To see what sort of prices domain names have been selling for check out DNSalePrice.

This is only an introduction to domain name trading but it gives the basic ideas. There are people who have made millions from domains, and in my opinion successful domainers make lots of money but it does take a lot of work, particularly if you are just starting out.

Why You are Able to Use Facebook's Viral Nature to Bring More Traffic to Your Site and Make Money Online?

Guest post by Claude Laloi

Facebook is a popular, free-access social networking" site. Facebook started in 2004 and since then the company has had many success. Did you know Facebook has 140 million active users? Facebook can be use to boost your traffic in a viral nature. Here are some basics to get you started with using Facebook to make money online.

Here are some important components to getting traffic on Facebook.

Why is Facebook viral?
The "News feed" and "wall" are the core components behind the viral nature of Facebook. It can be use, if you know what you are doing to get more traffic and make you more money. How you might say? Well, understanding how to use the News feed and wall will allow you to increase traffic to your site by sharing content to your Facebook friends list and their friends' list.

What is the News feed?
The News feed is a unique combination of recently published items by a user's friends. The News feed is the first thing every Facebook user sees when they first log in the system. Most action you or your friends take is posted on the News feed.

When you make a comment, post a picture, share links, and even when you create events they may show up on the News feed. Facebook uses an algorithm to determine what appears on your News feed and it has to do more with your interested, rather then every single post appearing on users News feed

What is the Wall?
The Wall shows a constant updated feed of content and actions related to the profile user. Almost all of the content related to the user is posted on the wall. Everyone who has a Facebook account has a Wall. Some examples of what can be posted on your Wall:
  • All messages left by your friends
  • Recently tag images
  • Updates to your profile
  • Comments you made
The difference between the Wall and the News feed is that with the Wall you have to click on your friends name or profile to view what's on the Wall. The News feed is the first thing you see when you log in.

What's the big deal about the News feed and Wall? Why is it so important I know about them?

The key to using the News feed and Wall is to get a lot of good quality content posted to your Wall. This will increase the chance the item will appear on your friends News feed. In order to make it all work you need friends.

Many people fail to understand how to use Facebook to get more traffic and hopefully make money online. If you can learn to leverage this medium you can bring more traffic to your site and make more sales.
