Guest Post by Anil Gupta

When we search internet to find some easy ways to monetize our blog, we find lots of stuff already written on this topic. And when we study deeply at all ways to earn money from a blog, there may be hundreds of ways to earn revenue from a blog. But not all methods are going to help you make some quick cash. In today's article, I will discuss some techniques that a blogger in any niche can follow to monetize his/her blogs quickly and fastly:

PPC Ads – With PPC (Pay per click) Ads, we are going to get paid for every click that is made of an Ad on our blog. There are many networks who are offering PPC Ads in all niches. And the most popular PPC Ad networks are Google Adsense and YPN (Yahoo Publisher network), which is available for US citizens only right now. Applying for Google Adsense will not take more than 2 minutes and once you have Google AdSense Account, you have to just place AdSense widgets on your blog where you want the ads to appear. AdSense ads are highly customizable and can be placed in any section of a blog. All PPC networks serve ads according to the content of your blog.

Text & Banner ads – Selling text and banner ads will be easiest way to monetize your blog if it's already popular. There are lots of advertisers who are willing to place their ads on top blogs in their niche. We can earn from $10 to $100 or so for a link/banner for a month on our blog depending upon our blog popularity, traffic, Alexa ranking and Google Page rank. We can add a section like 'Advertise here' or 'Banner' here on our blog to attract advertisers. With this, we can also try some networks that can sell text/banner ads on your behalf and will share revenue with us.

Writing Articles – With these options, we can make money with what we are already doing i.e. blogging. There may be many advertisers in your niche who will be interested in getting a review about their service or product on your blog. With this 'Get Paid to Blog' kind of scheme, we are asked to write a review about a product or service and include their links within our review. But we should be extra cautious when going for this scheme. We should write about advertisers only who are directly or indirectly related to our niche and if possible should include nofollow links in our paid posts. There are many paid blogging networks on internet where you can register yourself to get extra money making opportunities. Some of popular 'Get Paid to Blog' networks are Payperpost, ReviewMe and SponsoredReviews.

Simple Ways to Advertise and Grow Your Membership Website

Many internet marketers recognize that a membership site is a great way to bring in a comfortable and consistent income. So they find a great niche, set up their membership website and add great content, there is still one major step, getting members to join. At first glance, this often seems a bit overwhelming and is the point where membership site owners often get discouraged. Not knowing how to find members stop many online marketers even before they get started.

Fortunately, it is not too difficult to grow your membership base. As long as you understand that it may take some time. Don’t expect to fill up your site overnight. Instead, shoot for a couple of new members a day. Overtime, you will be able to draw a pretty good income. Below, are some simple ways to advertise:

Start An Affiliate Program: One very effective way to grow your membership website is to offer people (members and non-members) the ability to earn money by getting other people to join. Think about it. If your monthly fee is $29, offering individuals 50% or $14.50 each month for every new member that they sign up would be very enticing. If you get the right affiliates, you may not have to do much advertising at all.

Hang Out Where Your Potential Members Are: Spending time at the same places that people who might be interested in joining your membership site is a really good way to get members. This might include forums and social networking websites.

Try Adwords: Depending on what niche you are targeting, Adwords may be a great way to get the word out about your site and to get new members. Make sure that you carefully target your audience so that you don’t waste your money and time.

Write Press Releases: Press releases are another excellent way to advertise your membership website. There are a few fairly good options and some excellent paid ones. If you don’t know where to begin, consider Prweb.com. If you optimize your website and choose good keywords, you can get some good rankings for both your sales page and your release.

Forum Marketing: Once you figure out where your target audience spends their time online, it is time to go to them. Often times, forums are a great place to find people that will be interested in your offer. If the forum allows, make a post advertising your membership site. If they do not allow blatant advertising, then create a signature link ad.

Social Networking Websites: Social networking websites are another fantastic, advertising option. Find one that caters to your niche and then create short articles or blurbs that would interest them so that they click onto your website. After you get them there, it is up to you to sell your product. Consider, giving them a few free days or a free report so that they have some idea of the quality of content that you are offering.

Should You Stay away from Paid Surveys?

Guest post by Hooshmand Moslemi

If you have been seeking for an online business opportunity for a while, chances are you may have seen catchy headlines such as "Get Paid $60/Hour to Take Surveys” or ”Make Money Just By Participating In Online Focus Groups". In the first look, what it comes to your mind is that it´s too good to be true. You may be wondering if it is really possible to make that amount of money just by filling out some polls and surveys without spending too much time or money. And if it is true, is it really worth it or not?

Well, finding a convincing answer to the above questions is not that simple. Paid surveys opportunity is not a new work-at-home online business. It has been around for a long time now and could not be regarded as something totally illegal or scam. On top of that, there are hundreds of thousands of people earning an additional income just by taking surveys and participating in focus groups. So, there is no doubt that real paid surveys companies still exist and serve people to make an extra income on the Internet.

However, you may be asking yourself if it is worth trying or you should stay away from paid surveys. While this question does not have any straight answer, either, I try to point out some of the facts behind paid surveys according to my personal point of view, as a person who has tried this opportunity long time ago. Then, it will up to you to make the right decision and figure it out for yourself.

1. Many paid surveys websites charge you a certain fee in order to join them. After sign-up, you will only get access to a huge list of companies where you can join separately and create your profile. So, bear in mind that you won´t get access to tons of surveys right after sign up.

2. That list is quite big and contains hundreds of market research companies. It may take hours of visiting and registering one by one which is a very time-consuming process.

3. In order to join every single company, you need to create a demographic profile. So, all of those companies would have access to many confidential information that covers your privacy. I am not saying that they are unreliable websites, but I would not feel comfortable. Apart from that, your e-mail address would be bombarded by tons of company deals and offers day in day out. Isn´t it annoying?

4. Many market research companies require users from only United States or United Kingdom. So, if you live outside these regions, you would simply miss out a lot of survey programs.

5. There is a reason for creating a profile in market survey companies. They need to check if the surveys they are going to send you match your demographic data. So, even if you live in the U.S. there is still a probability that you won´t get as many surveys as possible.

6. The majority of survey companies do not pay you cash. They give you rewards such as a free book or MP3 Player or something like that. You spend money for getting a list of market research companies, spend your time to join every single website out there, spend more time and fill out their polls and surveys, and then guess what?! You won´t get paid by cash! You will only get rewards.

7. And it gets more ridiculous when they offer you a spot in a reward list. Did you get it? After all inconvenience, you would be placed in a list of thousand of users and get the chance to win a prize!!! Does it make sense?

So, it was all my experience with paid surveys programs and market research companies. Now, the choice is yours. If you are like me, you might prefer something better. For me, my time is more valuable than my money. So, that´s why I would stay away from paid surveys and rather work on more profitable business opportunities. I hope you will do the same thing. You deserve better.
