How to Create Referral Link Landing Pages

Guest Post by Michael-John Wolfe

By now many of us have heard of these websites that offer cash to fill out free trial offers. Websites like Treasure Trooper, Squishy Cash and CashCrate are all legitimate ways to make money online for those people who have the time. By filling out simple trial offers, individuals can earn anywhere from .75 cents to $10 per offer. Some folks choose to spend their time filling out hundreds of these offers in order to make a good hourly wage. It is feasible to earn $20 to $25 per hour while filling out trial offers on these websites. Of all three choices, CashCrate seems to be the most user friendly and have the most available cash offers. But all three website offer a good opportunity to make money online.

But before you join, you should know that there is a much better way to make money online with these websites. That way is through referrals. I currently am on pace to make $100 this month in referrals to these website and I have not lifted one finger or filled out any trial offers. You too can do the same.

The key is to create a blog or webpage that will act as a “landing page” for those visitors to your website that are looking for ways to make money online. These folks who arrive at your webpage will be informed about these trial offers and how much money they can make. Treat this as your sales page and do whatever you can to get these referrals to join CashCrate, Treasure Trooper or Squishy Cash. You can post videos of your checks when you receive them or show screenshots of your current earnings.

If you don’t have enough earnings yet to entice any referrals – simply embed someone else’s video or screen shot and then list your affiliate link below. There are some people who are earning $500 to $1,000 a month by simply referring others to these free trial websites. So you can be like the sheep and spend hours filling out free trial offers – or you can be like the wolf and get OTHERS to fill out these offers while you collect the cold hard cash!

If you would rather not pay a hosting fee for a website, you can get a free blog at places like blogger.com. You will want to create backlinks to your blog that will get you ranked higher in the search engine for terms that are related to making money online. You should also email all of your friends and family to get them to sign up for these free trial websites under your referral link. It will take some time, but if you commit yourself – you can get a decent number of referrals. In time you will be making a nice monthly income through your referrals!

The Mistakes which can Let You Down as a Squidoo Marketer

The Squidoo lenses are a great way to get traffic and recognition as a niche expert. You can create a Squidoo lens about the products or your business and then market it on Squidoo. This way, Squidoo can be your steady traffic source for your website.

Squidoo marketing is not very difficult. The only major problem is the common mistakes which are repeated over and over again by the beginners. You should avoid them and there is no need to worry about the traffic then. You will surely get a lot of traffic from Squidoo.

Here are some of the classical mistakes which you should avoid at all costs.

• Most of the people are unaware of the importance of the tags at the beginning. They do not use them properly and then at a later stage they realize that they have missed out on a golden opportunity. If your profile tags are proper, you would surely get more attention from the other Squidoo users as well as from the search engines. Use the proper spellings while tagging and make sure that you are putting the relevant tags. Also make sure that your tags do match with your keywords so that you can attract the interested people to your Squidoo lens.

• You should use your keywords everywhere on Squidoo. Make sure that you have a good keyword density as well in your articles and the text based content. You should use your keywords in other places on the Squidoo lens as well. These may include polls etc. Also make sure that you are using the keywords in the titles. If you are not using the keywords in the titles and the URL, you are missing a great deal.

• Another major mistake that the beginners make is to ignore the opportunities which come your way in the form of putting hyperlinks on the Squidoo lens. The people think that putting the banner ads at the bottom of the lens is sufficient and they do not realize that they do have a lot of other places as well where they can put their links. If you are new to Squidoo, make sure you have not missed any such place and you your hyperlinks at all the possible places.

• Another mistake which is commonly made by all the new comers is to only emphasis on the Squidoo lens and forget the community of Squidoo. You should never do that. The community will help you to get more clicks and more visits. In fact they are the people whom you are trying to attract to your Squidoo lens. You should communicate with the community by joining the groups. The groups will help you to talk to the people and market your lens and the business there.

4 Steps to Forum Marketing Success

Forums are places where your marketing can take the real boost. By joining the popular forums related to your website or business, you can start participating in discussions, sharing ideas, asking questions, helping others and make sure of the signature links to direct targeted traffic from the forums to your website.

Below are 4 steps which you can follow to achieve the results you've always wanted with forum marketing.

1. Choose several forums
One forum won't be enough. You need to choose around 10 forums where you want to post. Also you don't want to choose some lame inactive forum. Find the places which have lots of visitors and which will attract people's attention. With one forum you will have results, but the more forums you choose, the more visitors and buyers you will acquire. After all your revenue is directly proportional to the number of people you can reach out to. So reach out wide. Also, you don’t want to choose the wrong forums. Fins those places where people talk things related to your nice. Are you selling furniture? Find at least 10 furniture forums.

2. Create your accounts
Creating an account is not in itself a difficult process. You just need to register with a valid email address, confirm it and you are all set. But there still are some things to watch out for. First of all you need to use some humanizing data. Even if you don't provide your real personal information you still need to make it look like an actual personal account on each of that forums. So upload a cool avatar and make all accounts look real and nice.

3. Become active
It's not enough to have the accounts. You also need to make them look nice. Don't start posting your links and marketing ads right away. Socialize, comment, discuss and bond with the other users first. If you will post an ad as soon as you've created the account no one will buy it. You need to gain trust in order to market the right way. Talk around, post useful stuff and help people. Make friends and let some time pass before taking action.

4. Repeat on What You are Doing
Gaining trust and establishing your reputation in the forums are the keys to success in forum marketing. So, you should constantly contribute in the forums. Keep helping people who need advice and solutions to their problems. If have found anything good that the members will be interested, share with to them. People will appreciate on what you are sharing.

As you are posting on the forums often, your messages are often read by most of the members and these members will see you as a trusted member. So, the links that you included in your signature line will be interesting to others as well. Many of them will click your signature link to get more info from you or to check out what you are offering. These all are free targeted traffic to you. So, keep contributing in the forums and your messages and signature links will be seen by more and more people which will probably generate more traffic to your website.

Make Money Online By Creating Various Sources of Residual Income

Guest Post by Michael John Wolfe

I have dedicated the last two years of my life to finding legitimate ways to make money online and create sources of residual income. As you can imagine, I had to weed through thousands of scams and hundreds of websites that did not live up to their claims.

Rather than focus on one source of residual income – I decided to create many sources. I only had a few hours each week to dedicate to making money online, but I was able to create $900 a month in total income from all of my sources.

My first source was photography and I took some quality photos at home and while traveling. I uploaded these photos to the many microstock photography websites that are available. Within a few months I was making $200 to $300 a month from only 312 photos. Not a bad start!

The next thing that I did was start writing articles for a variety of websites that paid me each month for the advertising earnings that accompanied these articles. I was able to create $250 a month in earnings from a few select websites. The best part about these articles is the fact that I wrote some of them over a year ago and I am still earning money every month in the form of residual income. This is a great feeling!

One of the more recent ways I have found to make money on the internet is by filling out trial offers. I have found one or two websites that require you to submit your information and they actually pay you for filling out these trial offers. Now don’t get me wrong, you won’t get rich from these websites – but I do make some great residual income each month. I only really invest a couple of hours a week to these trial offer websites and I also get paid for referring people to them. One warning, if you do decide to complete trial offers do not use your personal email address! Create a separate email address just for trial offers. These trial offer companies will fill your email address with spam and advertisements.

How to Write a Blog Post in 30 Minutes

Guest Post by Andy Walton

Writing content for the web can be enjoyable, satisfying, fun and hopefully profitable but it can also be hard work at times. Every writer experiences those occasions when their output slows to a crawl, and the finish line seems to drift further into the distance. I've been there a few times, so here are my tips on how to beat the block and produce a new, quality post in less than half an hour - and to prove my point, I'll write this in 30 minutes.

Get into a Positive Mindset
-----------------------------------
OK, first up is your attitude. If you have a defeatist approach, you'll likely be defeated. Look at the facts - you're only trying to write 500 words, not a novel. It doesn't seem that intimidating now does it?

And remember - in less than 30 minutes you'll have a piece of work that can start earning you money. So be positive, and get thinking.

Pick a Subject
-----------------------------------
Next part is perhaps the one you consider the hardest - the topic. It's always easiest to write about what you know, especially if you want to write quickly. Research and fact checking can take time, so you're best sticking to opinions or advice. By the way, I've taken 10 minutes to get to this point.

Sketch out Your Headings
-----------------------------------
This is the bit I find the most constructive, as it allows you to see a mental path to the finish. By listing 3 or four headings, you'll be halfway towards a completed post as you can expand on each one for a paragraph or two.

Add the Flesh to the Bones
-----------------------------------
Now go back through each section and think about why you wrote that header. What point were you trying to communicate, and can you express it concisely to your reader? After all, they probably want to read as quickly as possible so be brief and succinct.

Check and Correct
-----------------------------------
Finally once you have your finished draft, read through it. Assuming your post is around 500 words this should only take the last 5 minutes or so. You're checking for the obvious spelling and grammatical errors (which your spell checker should help with), but also for any problems with the flow of the text.

At this point you also want to try to make the article as user friendly as possible, so you could perhaps add some bold and italic highlights to help your readers to scan. And at that point, you're done! And so am I, 444 words in 28 minutes from start to finish. I thank you.
