Journey to Earning Money Online

As I've mentioned in my Domain Renewal post, billings arrived few days ago. Time to pay my domain name registration bills. As a blogger who wants to earn money online, you don't really need to buy a domain name. There are many free alternatives like Blogger, WordPress, Xanga, Multiply, and more. If you just started blogging and has not yet proven there's real money online just by writing, then why not use the free alternatives? No registration and annual fees on domain name registration and web hosting fees to worry about. In short, no bills payment to think of. Do I earn that much? Well, not much, too. That's because I have my own lazy periods. :) If you checked my archives, there are periods I had not posted for months. But I do earn a few dollars even during my lazy period and that's what makes blogging enjoyable. Well, for those months I have not posted anything, for sure, I am busy with something else offline. Not really lazy, though. Anyway, since bills payme...

If you are doing business online and have not been that careful or have been careful but still became a victim, then this is just a reminder to be careful. Doing business online means money and when there is a money, there is the tendency of being attracted to the sound of it. What I mean is this. When a person got hold of the money, even if he knows he owe someone and he has to pay it back, there is a possibility that he will delay the payment or never pay back at all. This is a very bad business practice. I should have posted this a long time ago but the webmaster seemed to be professional enough with all the contracts and conditions he set before the work began. Trust always play a big role for online businesses and he seemed to play it very well. Just to share my experience, I am talking about the webmaster/administrator/website owner of Fishers Travel SOS . I worked as Search Agent and another person I know worked as Country Editor for them a year ago and we were able to compl...

I have been really busy lately for personal reasons but I have not forgotten that I have my online blogs that in one point in time have been a source of income for me. In fact, what keeps me busy these days is just a part of my future plan in having a more profitable online business. I want to offer products that can be used by ordinary internet users and even webmasters. That is a future plan anyway. Back to the present, even with my busy schedule, I want to continue earning online so I am visiting some of my different affiliate programs if they are still alive. You must already know that affiliate programs are money earners in the internet. One of the programs I checked is 000webhost. For those who are not yet aware of 000webhost, they offer free webhosting without any ads. You can develop a professional website without those annoying ads. They also offer an affiliate program that pays $5 per sign-up. Googling '000webhost affiliate program' without even adding the word '...

I was bloghopping today and returning favors to MyBloglog visitors when I clicked on a link that led me to 45n5 post, The Current Value Of The Make Money Online Blogs . The post was about the value of some of the recently sold make money online blogs and possible valuation of 45n5's top 100 blogs when sold based on subscribers. Taking for instance Problogger with a subscriber of 34,846 is valued at $1,079,529.08. How the valuation was made is quite interesting but the comments were far more interesting for me. Conflicting views whether to sell a make money online blog or not were given. Some would not even sell their blogs at a price above $20,000.00. I'd say that's a lot of money already. Unfortunately, I do not have that much subscriber to make it to the $20,000 mark. But given an offer of above $20,000 or even at exactly $20,000, I'd sell my make money online blog . After all, that is what the blog is all about and selling it will be making money, too. With such amo...

In the past, I have only thought of getting paid for uploading photos on stock photography sites. This is, by far, the easiest way to earn an income from stock photos - no websites to maintain and support is taken care by the stock photography site. But what if you want to dictate the price of your own stock photos, what is the best way to market your products? Start your own stock photography site [Looks like a lot of work:) ] Or, package your own stock photos according to theme or categories and start auctioning or selling them at eBay, forums or classified ads boards. A package may contain about 25 quality images or hundreds maybe and priced accordingly. Feature several packages of different subjects so clients will have enough choices. It may not earn you a million dollar but it might earn you extra shopping money in time for the holiday season :)

Do you know that online casinos can also be a real source of fun and extra income? Lots of online casino players do not even need a money in order to start playing at an online casino game. They sign-up for fun and excitement. They search for available online casino bonuses, play with the bonus money and allowed to take out their winnings. If they lose, they only lost time and not necessarily money yet they gain an experience and maybe some strategies that they can use the next time they play. So, how will an online casino player know which online casino offers the best and biggest bonuses not to mention a good track record of paying winners? Aside from online casino players themselves, forums and review sites that specifically feature online casinos are the best resource before a player starts gambling with his money and time. Pro360.com is an online casino review site that has an extensive list of online casinos, including bonuses, certificates, player ratings and notes whether US re...

This morning, I was sorting through my emails since new spam emails were able to pass through my filters. Then my attention was caught with the words "You've Got CASH From Apsense.com". I thought it is just another update from APSense of some new features. Still, I opened my account and found $4.31 credited. According to the email, my credits of 4314 was converted to cash with the conversion rate of $1=1000 credits. Isn't that nice? If you'll ask me what did I do to get the credits, I am not quite sure. Except for writing an article when I joined and accepting about 4 invitations to add me in their contact list, I can't remember anything. :D To know more about APSense, it is like the other popular networking sites in the internet today but with some twist: like a business center, an ad revenue sharing program, an auction site, a blog where you can write or promote any legal business or services you offer, some generous referral commissions and credits convert...

One of my new domain names is photography-related and I plan on starting a photo website so I search for some programmers or commercial scripts to lessen my design time. While searching for the most recommended script, I found some sites that are on the same business and at the same time give photographers opportunity to earn from their photos. The following programs have different payment rates and submission rules so if you plan on joining each one, be sure to read the rules and reviews. Some have their own forums so it would be nice to join the community and know more details about these programs.

I have extra time today since it is still a few hours before I am off to work. So, I thought of fiddling with the Windows Movie Maker and created a movie for PayPerPost as part of its blog marketing feature. I have just uploaded the video at YouTube so check it out and feel free to comment :)

Here's another program where you can earn some extra cash writing reviews. I found this site while browsing for some writing gigs online :) ReviewStream accepts reviews of different subjects from banking and finance, gadgets, hotels, car, insurances, services and many other categories and programs. For sure, you have something to write about. Currently, each review is being paid $1.5 via Paypal. So if you have nothing to do, no blog to write about, no articles to rush, why not share your experiences with the others. What's good about sharing is you get something in return :D

Do you know that displaying timely and relevant news and video clips on your website can be both beneficial to your readers and to you as the website owner? Readers acquire information they need while you get paid for every views made. The only basic requirement is to mash news and videos from The News Room (TNR). Right, the term used is 'mash' which means embedding a feed, a video, an image or story on your website. Get to display legally on your website thousands of relevant news and videos from TheNewsRoom. Copy the code to display the news or videos. When a story or video is mashed, a tracking system and dashboard records where the feeds and stories have traveled on the Web and how often they are viewed. Content from TheNewsRoom is accompanied by ads. As the number of viewers to the embedded video or news inceases, the payment also increases. A video feed viewed on your website can earn as much as $4 per CPM - cost per thousand impression. You can also earn if a video mash...

Have you ever wondered how much have I earned so far with PayPerPost? Have I really been paid for the blogs that are sponsored by them? I can say gladly say that they do pay and I've already received and spent my payments from the program. :D PayPerPost is one of the first programs I joined when I decided to do paid blog reviews. That was in the last week of February. I earned $30 for 3 blog posts. I also made it to the list of the blogs with a tack rating of 5 and with 2 positive votes. Tack rating is how PayPerPost rate their bloggers with 5 as the highest rating. I continued to do blog reviews for PayPerPost on March where I earned $58 for 9 blog posts. I could have made more if I did not choose the opportunities I took. And this is what I like about paid blogging. I can choose only the opportunities I like to write which I may also do without being paid if circumstances were any different. I stopped blogging April and May and I only realized now while reviewing my chart. Lookin...

Here is an inspiration for you who have not yet decided on what activities can let your earn a passive income online. A ShutterStock submitter has posted total photo downloads of 1170 earning him $351 in just 1 day. Wow, I can decide to retire now if I can get paid for my photos as much as that daily. :) Take note that he has also earned $282.30 just the day before. And who knows how much he has earned from photos the prevvious and next days after he posted. The amount of $351 in one day maybe small when compared to the income of other people who are earning thousands of dollars online but take note that that amount is only for 1 day. It's actually a passive income because same photos can earn again the next days to come. If you got the eye for capturing details and beauty, you will do well in getting paid for your photos. There are other get paid for your photos programs and you can submit the same photos (unless you give exclusive license) to all of them. Before you sign up at ...
