Earning Money From Buying and Selling Domains

There are numerous ways to earn money online and how much money you make depends on which way you choose and how much time you put into it. Obviously, some money making methods are easier than others. Today, I would like to talk about buying and selling domains. You may have heard of this technique before. It’s actually quite easy to understand as it just works like small businesses do. Businesses buy or produce a product at a certain price and then they sell it for a greater price. Thus, they get to enjoy the profit. Buying and selling domains is similar. You buy a domain and wait to sell it to the right customer to earn a profit. If you are smart and you know how this business works, you can earn a lot of money.


Of course, you need to know two important things: which domains to buy and where to register domains cheap. Firstly, you need to know which types of domains are in demand and which are not. Secondly, you need to know where to but the domains from at a cheap price. You can go to domain name registrars and make your purchase. Here is a list of ICANN accredited registrars to narrow your search.

Now that you have bought a domain, how do you sell it? I recently came across a post which contained a nice list of websites where you can buy and sell domains. You can meet a lot of customers at those forums and sites listed and make a lot of sales.
After some valuable experience, you will learn which domain names are valuable and which ones are not. So don't expect to make hundreds of dollars through your first sale because that will almost never happen.

Earning Money From Selling Blog Posts

Few days ago, I wrote a post about 5 popular ways to earn money for bloggers and I promised my readers that I would write follow posts to provide details about each of those five ways. I will start with the last method first: Selling Posts.

Nowadays, there are millions of blogs online and people love to read them. Over the last few years, blogs have become extremely popular. A lot of times, bloggers use their blogs to express their opinions and when people read these blogs, they get influenced by those opinions. Thus, what a blogger writes on his or her blog is very importance. Of course, the importance level depends on the quality and popularity of the blog.


A common method of earning money for bloggers is to sell their blog posts. How does that work? It's very simple. The buyer will ask you to write a positive blog post about his company's products explaining the key features. Most of the times, the post will also contain at least one link to the product's website. He will pay you a certain amount of money for the job. And you are done!

Bloggers don't always review company products but also websites and anything else that might require promotion.

Prices
Not all blog posts are worth the same. There are numerous factors that determine how much a buyer would be willing to pay for a blog post on your blog. I will try to highlight some today.

• PageRank - The higher the PageRank of your blog, the more you will be paid for your posts.
• Traffic - The more traffic your blog gets, the more you will earn from your posts.
• Outgoing links - The less the outgoing links from your blog, the more money you will have in your pocket!
• Niche - Blogs with similar niches as the buyer's product/website will receive more money.
  

These are all the points that I can think of right now but I am sure I missed one or two. Anyways, I am sure you know why PageRank and Traffic are two important factors. Lets move on to the last two. The number of outgoing links from your blog is very important since the more links you have the less the PageRank juice your buyer will receive. Niche is also an important player since it will mean that the buyer will get relevant traffic from your blog.

How do you contact buyers?
It's not easy to find buyers to purchase blog posts from you. In fact, sometimes it can be really difficult. However, there are some sites that can make your life easier. You should try webmaster forums such as Digital Point, V7N and Webcosmo Forums to sell your posts. There are also specialized sites such as PayPerPost and Sponsored Reviews made just for buying and selling posts.

Hopefully, you learned a thing or two from this post about earning money from selling blog posts. Watch out for my upcoming posts as I will be explaining other ways to earn money from blogging.

Most, if not all, of the visitors that read my article on this blog are bloggers that are interested in making money online. I started my first blog with absolutely no intention to monetize it. However, as I got more interested into blogging, I started to explore my option and different ways of monetizing a blog. I started visiting popular blogs like ProBlogger and others to see how the hell they were making money by just writing in an online journal!

A year later, I have four blogs that I maintain on a regular basis. My income from these blogs is not fixed but I do make sufficient amount of money as long as I continue to devote my time to them. How do I do it? How do all these others bloggers do it? That's what I am about to share with you guys today.

Top 5 Ways to Make Money Online Via Blogging

1. Google Adsense - Make use of empty space on your blog.
   
2. Selling links - Find individual buyers online and sell them space privately.
   
3. Affiliate links - Become an affiliate and promote your products on your blog.
   
4. Donations - If you trust your readers then consider putting up a donation box.
   
5. Selling Posts - Your words are just as important as available space on your blog. Sell them.

I know that you guys want to know more about each of these techniques that you can use to monetize blog but for the time being, I would just like to end this post with this much information. I will write follow up posts about each of these techniques in detail. You will learn about how to use these techniques and how to benefit from them.

Easy Way To Increase Google Adsense Earnings Quickly

It's been almost a month since I last posted in the MoneyMaking section. That's why, today, I have decided to give all my readers some great tips on increasing your Adsense earnings quickly. So you have a great website or blog and it gets some nice regular traffic. But for some reason you don't seem to be earning more than few cents through Google Adsense while others are making several dollars a day. In this post, I will show you a simple and safe way to double or even triple your Adsense earnings.

Before we continue, I would like to make it clear that I am not here to tell you how to make hundreds of dollars every day. I will simply tell you an easy way to make a couple of dollars everyday. If you are lucky and have a famous website with a lot of traffic then you can definitely earn a lot more.


First of all, take a look at how my Adsense earnings increased when I used this method on my blogs.As you can see, after July 22nd, I started earning more than just a couple of cents. I was earning $2-$4 everyday through this method.

So what is this method?
Alright, I am sure you are all eager to know what this method actually is. This method involves using Google Adwords Keyword Tool (GAKT). This is a great tool by Google that provides you with a lot of information such as advertiser competition, approximate search volume etc about keywords. However, the most important information of all is the Estimated Average CPC. You can get this information by clicking on the drop down menu that says "Choose Cloumns to Display." But what is Cost Per Click (CPC)?

The CPC is the amount an advertiser pays each time a user clicks on his/her ad.
By Google Adsense Help

So choose a keyword and look it up on Google Adwords Keyword Tool. I used "web hosting" as an example. Then, sort the Average Estimated CPC from maximum to minimum simply by clicking on it. As you can see, "managed web hosting" has the most CPC compared to others. Each click on ads generated from this keywords will get you $26.11. There are other nice keywords too worth more than $20 such as "best web hosting companies", "web hosting dedicated" etc.

Thus, when you are about to write a new post on your blog, think of the keywords that you will be including and look them up on GAWT. Use the information from GAWT to determine which specific keywords to use in your article. This way the Adsense ads displayed next to your articles will be worth much more. But don't think you will always be getting $25 per click because it is very rare. However, if you are lucky, it may happen!

So to sum it all up, before you write an article, do some research and try to use the keywords that will display the most expensive Adsense ads.

BidVertiser - Useless Alternative to Google Adsense

If you know Google Adsense then I am quite sure that you are familiar with an alternate moneymaking website for publishers called BidVertiser. Some of you may have already tried it while others may have simply ignored it and continued with Google Adsense. I actually gave it a try to see whether the program was actually better than Google Adsense or not. In this post I will describe to you my experience with BidVertiser.

BidVertiser - What it is and how it works!
BidVertiser is a program for both advertisers (to get traffic) and publishers (to earn money). Publishers can earn money from displaying ads on their website. Each time someone clicks on those ads, you will earn money. The twist is that advertisers will directly bid to display ads on your site.


There are quite some features that make BidVertiser different from Google Adsense (and other programs).

1. Ads Control: Adsense displays ads on your site according to keywords and thus you can not control which ads to display on your website. In BidVertiser, advertisers bid to display ads on your site and you have control over which ads to display.
   
2. Price-Per-Click: Price-Per-Click is determined by keywords in Adsense. Some keywords generate more expensive ads than others. Thus if a popular website has the same content as a new site, they will both earn approximately the same amount. However, in BidVertiser, advertisers bid for your ad space and thus popular websites earn more money.
3. Requirements: Some sites are unsuitable for Adsense but still suitable for BidVertiser. For example, you can not display Adsense ads on sites with little content or only flash content.
   

Alright, this was just some background info on how the program works. Now lets get to the real deal! BidVertiser seems so appealing so far. It has several advantages compared to Adsense but what about the disadvantages?

It is extremely hard to earn money through BidVertiser's publisher program compared to Adsense' publisher program. First of all, since BidVertiser ads are decided by bids instead of keywords, the ads displayed on your site are completely irrelevant most of the times. I have seen BidVertiser ads about gardening on a celebrity site! With such irrelevant ads, most of the times, your chances of getting some clicks on those ads are reduced to almost nothing. Yes, almost nothing! People will hardly ever click on irrelevant ads. This is why Adsense is much better. It shows highly relevant ads most of the times. Thus, you have better chances of getting clicks and earning money.

Secondly, BidVertiser does not have many advertisers. You will see same ads on your site almost everyday. Same ads may even bore your permanent traffic and your clicks will drop even more! Adsense, on the other hand, has TONS of advertisers and thus, you can expect to get new and fresh ads every now and then.

Finally, even if you do manage to get some clicks on the ads, you will not be earning money since bidvertiser ads are not worth more than few cents or dollars. On the other hand, Adsense has ads worth anywhere from few cents to several dollars!!

So should you use it? Well, sure go ahead and give it a try but don't expect to earn a lot from it. BidVertiser sure has a minimum payout of $10 via PayPal but it is extremely hard to reach it. I have been using it for several months and I have only $3.10 till now!

If you have used it before then please share your experience with us and let us know whether you liked it or not!

How to earn from Adsense

Many people have an Adsense account. But most of them don't earn from it!
Although they have a huge traffic!
First thing you have to know traffic will make you earn clicks and not money.
For example my site and http://blogger-templates.blogspot.com/ blog we both have the same keywords but our adsense don't display the same ads.
This is because the blogger-templates blog Page Rank is higher.
PR1 and PR2 are so low to make you earn. PR3 is also low! PR4 is moderate. PR5 is somewhat good.
PR6 is good and PR7 is excellent. PR8 and higher is very hard to get -:)
So you may thing on how to increase your Page Rank!

Make money with sponsored reviews

You have a blog with many many readers? You have a good traffic but slow earnings.
Here's a solution: You can earn 200$ per day from your blog, but I expected that you close it the third month!
Sponsoredreviews.com, You don't have even to write but just post!
A post will cost more than 200$ if you have a good blog (Not very good, 1,000+ subscriber in the Feeds and the publisher will pay!)
Think, you post 3 posts every day (let say with an average of 140$ per post): You'll earn 420$ daily!
Now you'll make 13,020$ per month!! have you ever dream of this sam ????
But I sayed only for 3 months! People will hate your blog (you'll posts irrelevant posts) and will finally don't come.
Have a blog to delete? Make 40,000$ with it before ;)

Pay per impression

If you are the publisher pay per impression are always low rewarding, you won't earn so much from pay per impression programs.
But if you are an evil you can use it like that:
-Make the ads at the bottom of the site.
-You reload the pages as much as you can.
Normally Published pays about 5$ for 1,000 page impression.
If you have a huge page impression you can use it, and place it in bad place (you don't worry as clicks aren't important)
You'll have a new revenue from it!
Advice: Don't use Adbrite they are so bad.

Pay per click

Many people search for Pay Per Click. But first what's Pay Per Click.
Pay per click is a program that will pay for your site (or to you) every time you get a click on your site.
The best Pay Per Click program is Adsense (for earning sure). And if you are the advertiser then you would use Adwords.
Those are the most famous, simply because they are supported by Google.
If you are the advertiser then you may try Stumble Upon. Stumble Upon has lower costs (obly 0.05$ for visitors).
Stumble Upon has a lot of visitors that searches for sites and this is also a great program.
Adwords may be costing, but if you choose affiliate this will be better.
By becoming an affiliate, you'll pay only when visitors buy something from the site.
