Earn Money Online. Looks a spammy title. I used to find many posts in different forums with titles similar to these. Generally the post are one liner with a referral link refering to some earn money quick type of site. And the person who has posted that link are generally newbie in the internet marketing and most probably have not received any money from the program which he is promoting.

There are many earn money online type of opportunities available on internet, some are genuine and many are fraud. Generally the modus operandi of these type of sites are to sell the product which tells how to earn money online means earn money by telling other how to earn money online.

Although for webmasters there are many genuine money making opportunities. Other than selling own product or service, they can earn money either by displaying pay per click ads on their website or by promoting third party products and getting commission on sales.

There are many programs in internet where you will earn money, but will never receive in your pocket. You can see them accumlating in your account at their website. I am writing 5 affiliate programs, through which I earned money and got the cheque and cashed it.

  1. Adsense : Pay per click program of google is the biggest money maker for all type of websites, small or big.
  2. Commission Junction : CJ is the leading performance based affiliate network. You can go through some of my earlier post on CJ, to know more about it.
  3. Shareasale: Another popular affiliate network, it is my favorite, because of simple interface and many good affiliate programs
  4. Text Link Ads : Sell the link on your website, whether your site is small or big.
  5. Adbrite : Pay per click, adsense alternative, but earning potential far less than adsense. Here you can find my experience with adbrite.

Do share your program, which you use to earn money online and received the money.

Due to wireless internet, a site does not have to worry about the weight of its page anymore. There is wireless internet help available 24 hours, which further contributes to its range. You can have any sort of website templates now. For most of them you don’t even need to have a web template guide. Like powerpoint templates, they are easy to work on. There was such time however, when people found modifying a cv template an arduous task. With more people working on web design development, all that has changed thankfully.

In internet marketing the ultimate thing is to generate sale. If you have traffic and you are not generating sales then you are wasting your traffic, unless you are earning through adsense or advertisements. Generally e-commerce sites which sell some product or services do not display ads. In a shop in our town we buy from a shop because we know their physical location, we saw them everyday we met them personally, but in internet this is not the case, here we do not know the owner, never met them personally.

Although I am online since last 8 years, I started purchasing things frequently online since last 2-3 years only. Here are I am writing 4 things which I saw before buying anything from a site.

1) Outlook of the site: Site should not give the impression that it is running by a 16 year old kid, and must have a professional look.

2) Branding: whether I have heard of seen the site earlier or not, generally if the site is old or I am aware of the site since last few months or years, then chances are I will buy from it. Reaching first time a site and buying from it, the chances are remote.

3) Review of Site: Another thing which I do before buying is find its review. TYpe these 3-4 phrases in google and you may find some really intersting information about the site. Sitenmae review, sitename fraud, sitename scam, sitename sucks .

4) Response time: I do check the sites response time before buying. Generally I write a letter with few simple queries to check whether some live person is there to answer the queries. This just give the idea is how active the site is. However this is not guarantee of post sales support, as pre sales support is alway more active than post sale.

Feel free to give your opinion, what steps you take before buying online from a site.

In my previous post I had written about the blog network. In blog network people creates different blog different IP spreading in many different class ‘C’ Ip’s. After that they sell blog post in these network blogs at very cheap rates. See some more blogs belonging to a blog network.

  1. Slovic Lab
  2. IT Kaoyan
  3. Well Springng

The benefits of blog networks are you get blog post at very cheap rates, spreading in different IP’s, this not only help you in getting some traffic, it also helps you go to get some boost in your search engine position.

Although there are many blog networks, some are very well promoted, and well organised. While buying post from blog network one should see following things.

  • In how many IP’s these blogs are spread.
  • In how many different class ‘C’ ip’s thes IP belongs.
  • What are the PR of different blogs in blog network.
  • How many posts per day they are accepting in their network.
  • How well is blog network promoted, and traffic blog network receiving.

Few days ago, I was surfing digital point forum, and buying some links for my sites, I encountered few sites selling links in word cloud form in PR5 and PR6 sites. I also purchased few links from them. I saw that, many webmaster showing interest in it and buying good amount of links from them.

I thought why I should not start a site like that. First I purchased a PR4 domain http://www.foursquare.ws from DP and installed word cloud script in it, then started a thread, in few hours I get good number of sale, get back my investment and got some profit.

Later I decided to expand this experiment, I bought another domain http://www.citoyenneteactive.org/ it was PR5 and it was little costly also.

Actually I purchased it at bin, later I thought that I can get it a little cheaper. I installed same word cloud script and started a thread in DP. Within few hours I get back my domain cost. Later I again started new thread and also put it in my signature, getting regular sales in it and getting some good profit from it.

Although word cloud can help you to get some quick bucks, it is not a long and sustainable business. I don’t think It will be good to spend too much time in it. I just did for a experiment got some return, but If I consider the amount of time I spend in creating thread and replying PM, I can’t consider it very much profitable.
