Huge Content Rich Websites for Profit
by: Robert Rogers
Here is the bare bone - no hype information and a link to the website I built using these techniques. So I not going to lie to you about how much money you can make or how much I made. Simply put, people are making money with these kinds of sites, I just want a piece of the action. This article assumes you have a basic knowledge of HTML, Google Adsense, and Affiliate Advertising.
We've all heard the phrases "Content is King" and "If content is King, then relevance is Queen!". So I'm going to share with you how to build a site based on these principles for profit! I built a 1000+ page content rich website in about 2 days. Check it out at http://articleupdates.com
Website Building tools:
I used DreamWeaver as my html editor. Any good html editor will work such as Frontpage. Go to download.com and search for "html editor". Coffeecup is a very popular free editor. Basically you need a good editor that will update links site wide automatically. Give you reports on broken links, and do search and replace site wide, file specific, and etc... Also very important is a good table building capability.
For the content I pulled articles from various free content sites. As long as you adhere to the terms of fair use, you will have access to thousands of content rich articles that you can put in your own website.
Get a simple clipart cd with 150,000 royalty free images from Bestbuy for $20.
Then plug in your affiliate codes for google adsense, clickbank, and commission junction.
You don't have to be an html expert. Just having some basic programming knowlege is enough. For example, understanding head, body, and building tables. Inserting variables and doing global changes. Any good html editor will help with that. You really need to become an expert at building tables. They are fast loading and can really make an impact on a site. If you are into css, even better!
Key Features for SEO: Keyword Rich and Relevant!
Building with SEO (search engine optimization) in mind. Use these techniques when building your site!
Niche Site: Pick a very specific topic. I chose "Making Money Online with Content Rich Sites" for this example.
Use a simple structure. Index page to "Index of Articles". Then "Index of Articles" to each individual article page. Two levels, easy to manage, easy to spider!
Make your site surfer friendly: No hidden pages, re-directs, pop-ups, spyware, java, or scripts. Just use ".html" files with text links to full text content rich pages which are also easily spidered with useful relevant information for the visitor. Include lots of articles including a few unique pages that you have written yourself.
Now start building your basic template for all the pages on your site. How you build your template will greatly depend on what editor and tools you'll be using. For example: most times you'll do something like Huge Content Rich Websites for Profit. When you go to build your 1000+ page site, the editor will replace the title tag with the appropriate text dynamically.
Title Tag and Description Tags and all other meta tags should be relevant and keyword rich.
Page Title
- Use relevant keywords on each index page to the articles
- Use the article title which will have additional relevant keywords for each article page.
H1 Tags - Keyword rich and relevant ex: "Make Money Online", "Home Based Business"
H2 Tags - Use the article title in the article pages. ex: "10 Ways To Make Money Online"
robot.txt file for spiders - just a simple two line file in your root directory
User-agent: *
Disallow:
Body text - Use content rich articles. Also use high color contrast between the text and the background so the search engine doesn't think your trying to hide anything and penalize you. Plus it's just plain easier to read. Use arial or verdana font.
URLs, File Names, and Directories - use the article title
ex: http://articleupdates.com/i-home-business/five-ways-to-increase-your-affiliate-sales.html
Inbound links: Set up link partners. If you can, have them place the link to your site using a keyword instead of the domain name itself. ex: Make Money Online Click Here.
Outbound links: Do the same for your link partners. Set up links using text that is relevant to their topic which should be relevant to your site but not competing if possible. If you sell computers, link to a company that sells computer desks.
Make same site links with relevant text. ex: "make money at home" will link to a page within your own site.
Make Image alt text use primary keywords. ex: "money online"
Add HTML comment tags that use primary keywords. These are not seen buy the surfer, but can be seen by search engine spiders. No one has proven this helps, but it doesn't hurt!
Now add money making adsense and affiliate links on every page. Put them top center between the article title and article content. Adjust the colors so that is blends in with your web page content.
Google adsense will pick up the page title, h1 and h2 tags to target the ad. When someone clicks on it, you get paid!.
Once you have these basic things set up in your template, you need to use a powerful tool called Article Equalizer. With a little practice, you'll be able to build 1000+ page websites in just a day or two. The link to Article Equalizer is http://hop.clickbank.net/?mark6188/articleeq
Another important thing you can do: Add dynamic RSS content by keyword. I'll follow up on this in my next article.
Sincerely - Robert Rogers
P.S. - If you make a site using the techniques above - I'd love to see it! Put your link at http://deja.us. I check it regularly.

Google's own AdSense Tips
Google's own AdSense Tips
by: Richard Keir
Copyright 2005 Richard Keir
Google is at least as interested as you are in having your ads perform well on your site. And they've gone to some work to provide the information you need to optimize your AdSense.
What's fascinating to me is that apparently not everyone bothers to read their tips. And even some that do, fail to apply it.
That said, you need to be aware that simply using their tips doesn't guarantee successful ads and decent CTR (Click Through Rate). How many times have you heard this? You have to test. You have to try alternatives and see what really works best for you, on your pages, with your content and your visitors. Test, test, test some more. Track your results, analyze them, try variations. Too many of us don't test. We hear the mantra, but we don't do the work.
First, let's see if we can get an idea about location. (The graphic is included in the article on my site or you can take a look at it at the Google link included below) Generally, above the fold, at the top center of your content, below top navigation is the hottest location. Not immediately below which is good but not quite as hot. In a left sidebar, to the immediate left of primary content or below the primary content are also good. Most other locations are generally cooler.
Again, you need to test and you need to consider your users behavior - and their behavior may vary on different pages with different kinds of content. Google suggests that in some cases, such as articles, the best location can be at the end of the article. To quote Google, "It's almost as if users finish reading and ask themselves, What can I do next?" Well targeted relevant ads right there can provide the answer.
Don't blindly assume that sticking a nice big rectangle in the center above the fold will do it. It may, but depending on your content, it may annoy or inconvenience your users.
Users tend to focus on content, navigation and to a lesser extent graphics. Positioning your ads near these elements will often work well -- if those ads are targeted to your visitors needs.
The top three performers among the Google ad formats are the 336X280 large rectangle, the 300X250 inline rectangle and the 160X600 wide skyscraper. Google reports that the wider formats tend to do better than the taller ones. One reason may be that these are, perhaps, easier to read since they have fewer line breaks and require less eye movement. But, you need to use formats that fit your pages well. Once again, you need to test, but redoing your pages to suit a particular ad format may not be a reasonable alternative and you may discover that a different format actually gets better results.
Now we come to color. Conventional wisdom says that colors which tend to blend into your content do better. Some go so far as to suggest that colors which make the ads look like part of the content are best. Personally, I think anybody really believes those ads are anything but ads, but who knows. Google suggests that you may find that colors that standout from your content do better - or maybe the opposite. This is absolutely an area where you need to test alternative color schemes. Going with the conventional wisdom usually works fairly well, but without testing you could be leaving a lot of money on the table.
Google allows you to have up to three ad units and one link unit on your pages. If you have long pages with lots of text, can only use small ad units or are in a niche with a large ad inventory, multiple units can pay off. Keep in mind that the way ad serving works is that the higher value ads are delivered to the first ad unit block encountered in your code. Always make sure that this first ad unit is displayed in the best location (yeah - test). You want the higher paying ads to be in the prime hot location on your page. Weaker locations can get the lower priced ads. And if none are available, then nothing will display unless you've included an alternate ad URL in your Google code. To maximize monetization you should be including alternate ad URLs, especially if you are putting multiple units on a page. The use of an alternate ad URL also eliminates the possibility of being served PSAs (Public Service Announcements). It's your real estate, maximize your returns.
Nothing here is secret. Except for using the alternate ad URL, all of this information is available from Google's Optimization Tips page - http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/static.py?page=tips.html . You can buy books and courses, visit a dozen forums and, in the end it comes down to what your visitors do on your site. The best you can get is general guidance. This means averaged outcomes over many sites, many types of content. If you are serious about doing whatever you can to really optimize your AdSense returns, there is only one thing to do - test. Whether it's AdSense, opt-ins, copy, headlines - anything with a measurable outcome that you can track - then the way to improve is to test and keep on testing.

4 Steps To Unleashing Profits In Your Online Business
4 Steps To Unleashing Profits In Your Online Business
by: Barry Gilbert
Ever wonder how the thousands of "under the radar" web
businesses that earn well over $100,000/year (many with
much higher sales) out of their own home do it?
Over the last year I've had the great fortune to speak
with many of these true, hidden entrepreneurs at
conferences, seminars, e.t.c.
What I'm about to share with you also came true for me,
and is outlined in more detail in my Ultimate Information
Entrepreneur's Success Package
Here's an example of their business model:
1. Information Products. Without a doubt, each one of
the successes I know market their own infoproducts.
For some, it's an ebook. Others have special reports.
Still others run online coaching programs, membership
sites, paid newsletters, teleseminars, or produce
digital audio or video products.
It's not their only source of income, but is a MAJOR
source of income, and more important, brands them an
expert in their field leading to success with 2 and
3 below.
2. Market related Affiliate Products. Again, in almost
every case, these online success stories become experts
at finding and creating joint venture deals with partners.
But, they work differently than most affiliates.
They start by ALWAYS reviewing the product they will market.
Second, they look for a different way to present the
product or service - a more beneficial way to show users the
real benefit in the affiliate product. Third, they use
the branding from 1 to negotiate higher commissions and
focus on high commission programs only.
3. They monetize their traffic using Adsense or selling
advertising on their sites. For high traffic pages
where adding paid ads or Google's Adsense will not impact
their own sales, they will run ads to further monetize
their sites.
4. Sell their time. You will find that truly successful
people online LOVE to help people succeed. But...for
every person who is really dedicated to succeeding there
are 10 "tire kickers" who want someone to hand them
success on a silver platter. It doesn't work that way,
nothing works that way. So, in order to leave time to
help those who really want it, coaching programs are
formed. Yes - you have to pay big money, but you should
easily be able to get 10X the value for money spent.
So as you can see, there is no ONE single way to build
your wealth online.
Instead, you build a diversified, rich and healthy
business by focusing on these 4 pillars. Not only will
you earn more money, but your business will be stronger
and build momentum faster when you do.

We Are Right In The Middle Of A Pay Per Click Baby Boom
We Are Right In The Middle Of A Pay Per Click Baby Boom
by: Kirk Bannerman
No, this baby boom will certainly not swamp the Social Security
system (sort of a bad joke for those that live in the United
States, but many other countries...most notably Japan...have an
even more acute problem), but this baby boom is revolutionizing
the way that pay per click advertising is being spread across the
Internet.
One of the early participants in this pay per click baby boom was
Google, with its AdSense program. With this program, Google
shares pay per click revenue with a huge number of individual
partner websites that carry a few pay per click ads that are
distributed by Google. In essence, this creates a whole bunch of
little pay per click locations (websites) throughout the Internet
and hence the term "pay per click baby boom".
Conceptually, programs like AdSense are similar to what the
computer hardware folks refer to a distributed processing.
Instead of trying to draw everyone to a large pay per click
search engine site, little groups of pay per click ads are spread
widely across thousands of locations (websites) all over the
Internet.
Actually, this distributed processing or propagation technique is
not limited to pay per click advertising. For example, Amazon
uses a similar arrangement (called Amazon Associates) to sell the
products it carries on amazon.com and ClickBank has a sales
program called CBAdwords which operates in a similar fashion.
According my trusty Ouija board, it seems likely that most
commercial hubs on the Internet will be shifting to this
propagation concept as time progresses...all of those individual
partner websites that carry the message/proposition will
constitute the vast army of worker ants that keep the queen ant
alive and healthy.
From a pay per click marketing perspective, these programs make
brilliant use of leverage while providing highly targeted
prospects for the paying advertiser.
There are, of course, some interesting things that occur as a
result of all of this stuff. For example, consider what I call
the "cross fertilization effect": Suppose a person goes to
yahoo.com and performs a search that leads them to one of my
websites that happens carry Google AdSense ads and that visitor
then clicks on one of those ads...the net result is that Yahoo
natural search provided Google pay per click with some revenue!
Aren't these fun times that we're living in?
As these programs continue to proliferate, the individual
webmaster needs to exercise a little restraint and avoid the
temptation to go overboard by plastering these ads all over your
website and thereby diluting your own primary message/proposition
and confusing your hard earned visitor. When properly used,
these ads are just ancillary or complementary content that you
are providing to enhance the information and opportunities that
you are providing to your visitor...if something happens to
strike a responsive chord with your visitor, you might make a
little pay per click money.
If properly used, these propagation programs can result in the
classical "win-win" situation. However, if you over do it, this
can quickly turn into a loss for you (the individual webmaster)
and a win for your pay per click partners that are distributing
the ads. As in many things, moderation is important.
It's a constant sea of change, but the good things just keep on
getting better! Stay alert, and light on your feet, and the
opportunities will just keep on coming your way.
The above are just some observations from "the peanut gallery",
but I don't think I'm far off the mark about where things are
heading. With that, I'm off the soapbox and wishing you
success in whatever you do online!

How can you make money out of your site with no product, no affiliate program, no services and no idea of how to sell …
How can you make money out of your site with no product, no affiliate program, no services and no idea of how to sell …
by: George Slater
This was the question my copywriter asked me at one of our meetings about joint ventures on the web. What follows is the question and answers as best as I can remember them. Just to let you know he was making money 24 hours later…
Question: How do you make money out of your site with no product, no affiliate program, no services and no idea of how to sell…
Answer: Easy use Adsense.
Question: But what is Adsense.
Answer: Adsense is the other side of Google's Adwords. These are little three line text adverts that companies use to get targeted traffic to their websites.
Question: But how does it work.
Answer: Simple. Your Website is Internet real estate. The more your website is vested the more valuable the real estate. Just like a piece of real estate you can sell bits off. In this case it is the same as you putting up an advertising billboard on your property. You rent this to a company; in this case Google and they put their ads on it.
Question. OK But how do I get paid
Answer: You get paid every time somebody goes to your site and clicks on one of the ads. Simple enough. (In fact very sophisticated from a technical and marketing point of view but that is getting off the subject.)
Question. How much do I get paid?
Answer. Well here is a thing; you will probably not be able to work out exactly how much you get paid for any one ad that changes ad to ad. But after a few days of running this system you can probably work out how much you are getting per page per day.
Question. How much are you getting?
Answer. I am not allowed to tell you because I have signed a contract with Google that tells me that I am not allowed to say. However, I can tell you that to get to a stage where you get up to $1 per page per page is not impossible, but if you work on $0.30 per page per day, for a well-visited site you could be very happy.
Question. OK but $0.30 per page per day is not a lot.
Answer. No not if you only have 5 pages. But even that would cover the cost of a web site. Have a look below at the figures.
5 page web site at $0.30 per page per day
5 x 0.30 x 365 days = $547.50 per Year
10 page web site at $0.30 per page per day
10 x 0.30 x 365 = $1095.00 per Year
25 page site at $0.30 per page per day
25 x 0.30 x 365 = $2,737.50 per Year
50 page site at $0.30 per page per day
50 x 0.30 x 365 = $5,475.00 per Year
OK We are not talking retiring owning your own island and helicopter. But if you said well I think I could put up one page a day for every day of the year. Have 50 pages per web site. That’s means 7 web sites with 50 pages each and 15 day off.
365 divided by 50 = 7 and 15 over.
That would give you 7 sites at $5,475.00 per year or $38,325.00 in annual income after all the pages were finished. Now does that sound interesting. And all you have had to do is write 200 words per day. Just to let you know this article is so far 543 words.
Even if it is only half that is $19,162.50 per year. That is the repayments on an interest only loan at 5% of just under $400,000.
Question. Why not just have one big website?
Answer. It is better to build a number of columns to hold up a building. Better to diversify and survive.
Question. OK if this is so good why isn’t everybody doing it?
Answer. Many reasons, some people make more out of selling their own products, some do not know about it, some are just too purest. In the end who cares; if you quest is to make some money. There is nothing bad here. In fact there is only good.
Question. What do you mean there is only good.
Answer. Well let’s think. Somebody has got to your site because they have either searched for you on a search engine or somebody has referred them. They will only visit your site if they are interested in what you have. The ads that google put up on their billboard on your site are targeted to what your site is about. Therefore your visitors not only get to see your info but they get to see other offerings. If they are interested they click on the ad. Now look what has happened here. You have made money because somebody has paid to put an ad on your site. The user has clicked on the ad because they are interested in the subject and ad. The advertiser gets a warm lead. Google make a slice as the middleman and can continue to run their excellent service. So everybody wins. And it only costs people pennies.
Question. OK I’m sold what do I do now.
Answer. Simple go to www.google.com/adsense download all the info on setting up and account, the details what specifications your site must meet. Basically, no competitive ads, not profanity, must be a reasonable site with good navigation and no to many spelling mistakes.
The just get going.
Question. Are there ways that I can maximize the adverts and make more money?
Answer. Yes there are. But that is not for this article.
For further information come back to this web site for the next article – Now to maximize your adsense review stream.
Bye for now.

This was the question my copywriter asked me at one of our meetings about joint ventures on the web. What follows is the question and answers as best as I can remember them. Just to let you know he was making money 24 hours later…
Question: How do you make money out of your site with no product, no affiliate program, no services and no idea of how to sell…
Answer: Easy use Adsense.
Question: But what is Adsense.
Answer: Adsense is the other side of Google's Adwords. These are little three line text adverts that companies use to get targeted traffic to their websites.
Question: But how does it work.
Answer: Simple. Your Website is Internet real estate. The more your website is vested the more valuable the real estate. Just like a piece of real estate you can sell bits off. In this case it is the same as you putting up an advertising billboard on your property. You rent this to a company; in this case Google and they put their ads on it.
Question. OK But how do I get paid
Answer: You get paid every time somebody goes to your site and clicks on one of the ads. Simple enough. (In fact very sophisticated from a technical and marketing point of view but that is getting off the subject.)
Question. How much do I get paid?
Answer. Well here is a thing; you will probably not be able to work out exactly how much you get paid for any one ad that changes ad to ad. But after a few days of running this system you can probably work out how much you are getting per page per day.
Question. How much are you getting?
Answer. I am not allowed to tell you because I have signed a contract with Google that tells me that I am not allowed to say. However, I can tell you that to get to a stage where you get up to $1 per page per page is not impossible, but if you work on $0.30 per page per day, for a well-visited site you could be very happy.
Question. OK but $0.30 per page per day is not a lot.
Answer. No not if you only have 5 pages. But even that would cover the cost of a web site. Have a look below at the figures.
5 page web site at $0.30 per page per day
5 x 0.30 x 365 days = $547.50 per Year
10 page web site at $0.30 per page per day
10 x 0.30 x 365 = $1095.00 per Year
25 page site at $0.30 per page per day
25 x 0.30 x 365 = $2,737.50 per Year
50 page site at $0.30 per page per day
50 x 0.30 x 365 = $5,475.00 per Year
OK We are not talking retiring owning your own island and helicopter. But if you said well I think I could put up one page a day for every day of the year. Have 50 pages per web site. That’s means 7 web sites with 50 pages each and 15 day off.

6 more free steps to making money online
6 more free steps to making money online
by: Darren Power
Copyright 2004 Darren Power
If you read my previous article you will know that the goal of these articles is to teach you ways to get started making money online without having to spend any money.
This is the second in the series and this time we deal with having your own blog. There are endless ways of making money once you have traffic, and your blog will get you traffic. The income we will be looking at today will come from Google Adsense.
There are multiple benefits to having a blog including the low cost (or no cost), the resources that will help you get traffic to your blog and the fact that you can provide your blog as an RSS feed. An RSS feed will allow readers to automatically receive your updates into their RSS reader.
Let's get started with our 6 steps.
1. Set up your blog. You will need to decide what you are going to blog about. You should decide on a theme and name your blog appropriately.
There are a number of free ways to set up a blog & to have it hosted for free. We will go with Blogger.com for our first blog.
Blogger will allow you to set up a blog for free they will host it for free and they will ping search engines every time you update, meaning you will get spidered & found.
Visit blogger.com & click the button on the front page labelled 'create your blog now' then follow the step by step instructions that Blogger provide.
Some key settings you will want to get right are:
I) 'Host your blog at Blogger' = Yes
II) 'Add your blog to our listings' = Yes
III) 'Ping Weblogs.com' = Yes
IV) 'Publish Site Feed' = Yes
2. Write some content. Before we move any further there has to be some information on the site & that means that you have to make some entries. You can write some of these entries yourself & some can be quotes from sites of interest to your reader that you can post using the Google Toolbar.
You can download the Google toolbar for free at toolbar.google.com. The toolbar includes a Blogger button. When you visit a site that has something of interest to your readers you can highlight the appropriate text & click the Blogger button. The content will then be added to your blog along with a link back to the site.
3. Once you have some content eg a weeks worth of blogging with 1 or 2 entries for everyday, you can apply for an adsense account. When you sign in to Blogger you will see an invitation to join Adsense. Use this link and apply for an account.
You can find out all about Adsense on the Adsense page but basically you get Google ads on your site & get paid if your visitor clicks them.
Google will decide what adverts show on your site based on the content it finds within.
You need to be aware that Google will decline your application if your site is not considered to have content. Nobody outside of Google knows the precise rules on this.
Once you have been accepted you can get some javascript from Google to add to you site. Copy this & then log in to Blogger.
Once you have logged into your blog you will see that one of the tabs across the top of the screen is labelled 'Template'. Click this. You will need to know a little bit of HTML to help find the right location to paste your Google code. But with a little experimentation you will find the right place for you. See the resource box at the end of this article for more help.
I would suggest that the ads need to be seen when the site loads but should not be too obvious or dominate your site.
4. Write some more content. Try and keep your content coming at regular intervals as a number of directories will check on your site at regular intervals & the smarter ones will visit on a schedule based on your update schedule. They will probably determine this in the hours after you first submit to them. Which is what we will do next.
5. Submit your site to Blog & RSS directories. Because you are hosting at Blogger, Weblogs.com will already be notified when you update your blog. (That means that every time you make a new entry they are automatically notified) You will need to manually submit to the various other directories some of which will require a link on your site to theirs.
You can add these links to your template below your Blogger logo. For a list of directories to get you started visit www.themoneyseed.com/rss
6. Keep writing interesting content. Ideally you want people to come back again and again. As with customers its harder to get a new visitor than to keep existing visitors. So make it interesting, in fact make it so interesting that they can't help but tell all their friends about it also.
As with most free ways to make money this will take time to get going, but if you can build a following you will make money.

3 Interesting Ideas to Make Money on ebay
1) Sell Used Cell Phones on ebay
The demands for used cell phones with brand names like Nokia, Motorola, Kyocera, Alltel, Ericsson, Sprint, etc in ebay are pretty high. Many of the used cell phones auctions in ebay usually attract bids.
So how to find used cell phones to profit on ebay?
Many people change their cell phones every year. If you are one of them, probably you already have 2 or 3 used cell phones kept at home that can sell on ebay. Your friends may also keep a few of old phones left unused. You can buy from them and resell on ebay.
To get a consistent supply of cell phones, you may think about placing classified ads in newspaper states that you pay money for used cell phone. You shouldn't pay much when buying used cell phones. Do a little research on ebay to find out how much used cell phones are generally selling. If a used cell phone sell at a price of $50 in ebay, you should pay not more than 30% of the price to buy it. If the phone is a recent model you can pay little more and cut a little if it is old and nothing special.
2) Sell Used How-to Books
Used how-to books are quite easy to find and inexpensive to buy. They can be bought at $1.00 or less. You can buy how-to books from thrift shops, estate sales, used book stores, yard sales, etc and sell them in ebay for high profit margin. You can also get how-to books from Book Sale Finder. Here are the type of books you should look for:
Hobbies
Photography, blacksmithing, clock building & repair, woodworking, magic, treasure hunting, iron work, pipe smoking, dog training, antiques, coins, buttons, medals, drawing, painting, craft making, dolls, pottery, etc.
Home and Garden
Home decorating, home remodelling, garden trellis, etc.
Misc
How to repair (watch repair, door repair, pipe repair), how to play, lost treasure, eary aviation, etc.
When you list your books in ebay, you can either list them in the "Book" category of ebay or in the subject specific category of ebay. For instance, If you are selling a book related to home decorating, you may be making more profit if you list the book under the "Home Deco" within the "Home & Garden" category of ebay campare to listing the book under "Book"
3) Sell Gift Cards
Gift card is another profitable market in ebay. There are many people possess gift cards but not everyone of them will use their gift cards. If you can offer to buy these unused gift cards for a price at 20% or less of the value of the gift certificates, they will sell to you. You can advertise your offer in local newspaper, penny shop and trading post. You are looking for gift cards that are still valid (not yet expire). Most gift cards have a toll-free number on the back you can dial to check whether the cards are still valid.
When determining the buy and sell price of a gift card, you should do some research on ebay. Try to look for auction that sell the similar card. See how much the card sells in the auction and set you buying price at 40% to 50% of the selling price of the auction. The starting bid and winning bid of the auction can also give you an idea on how much your card can sell on ebay.

7 Ways to Make Money Online Without Involving Internet Marketing
There are plenty of ways of making money on the net without requiring Internet marketing knowledge and I have introduced a number of them in the previous posts of this blog. For easier searching, I decided to combine them into this post. Here are them:
Work Online for Others
Guru.com and Elance.com are freelance marketplaces with tons of online job opportunities. Getting an online job through freelance marketplace is similar to getting an offline job, it involves competitions. You search for an online job that is right for you in freelance site, then you bid for the job. If your bid is the lowest, the employer will usually award the job to you.
Another site offers online job opportunities is Clicknwork.com. Unlike freelance marketplaces, there are no bidding competitions involved. They will assign the work to you. But to become their home-based professionals or workers, you must pass a difficult test.
Submit Articles for Cash
If you are passionate about writing, you may submit your articles to the below sites for publication and earn cash for each article published:
Developershep.com/writers.php - Accept articles related to web development and Internet marketing.
Associatedcontent.com (AC) - You become their member and submit articles in wide array of topics for payment consideration. Available to US only.
Newsforge - Pay $100 to $300 for each article about Linux, open source and free software.
Try Companies Offers
The concepts are simple. You join a website that contains a list of offers you can sign up or try. For each offer completed and approved, you'll be credited an amount of money into your account. Most of the offers available to US residents only. Treasuretrooper.com is one of the programs allows you to earn by completing offers.
Submit Photos and Images to Photo Agencies
Web designers, magazines and press need new photos and images often. They will look for photo marketplaces and agencies to buy photos that fit their need. You can submit your photos and images to these agencies and they will sell the photo and images for you. Below are some of the photo agencies:
www.dreamstime.com/sell
http://submit.shutterstock.com
www.scoopt.com
Write Products Reviews
Have something to say about the products and services you have used? Send your product comment to products reviews websites. If they decide to publish your review, you'll be paid.
Softwarejudge.com - Reviews software and online games.
Reviewstream.com - Plenty of product categories to review.
Be a Paid Bloggers
Here are the blog networks you can apply for a blogging position:
www.creative-weblogging.com
www.b5media.com/jobs
www.knowmoremedia.com/write-for-us.html
Upload Videos
Large video sharing websites like Metacafe and Break willing to pay people for uploading interesting videos such as funny, amazing and entertaining videos. You can earn hundreds to thousands of dollar, if your original video attracted tons of views in these video sites.

Homepages Friends - Get Paid to Search on the Internet
It is actually a new name of a former popular search program called My Search Fund. Homepages Friends is paying people for doing regular web searches using Yahoo. But, I'm not sure whether Yahoo is behind this program. The pay is about £0.01 - £0.02 for each search.
Homepages Friends Website
Homepages Friends can be accessed at http://www.myhpf.co.uk. The homepage of www.myhpf.co.uk is pretty simple. It is a sign up page containing not much info. Anyone can join the program immediately on the sign up page. If you have questions about it, there is a link to the FAQ section.
Is Homepages Friends Paying?
Homepages Friends started on April 2008 and before that it is called My Search Fund. My Search Fund has kept a good paying record. The site always pays members who reached minimum payout. And for Homepages Friends, some satisfied members claimed that they have got paid several times. Also, a lot of people are giving positive opinions about this program.
How Much You can Earn?
Homepages Friends estimates that the average users regularly searching the internet could readily earn about £50 per year. If you are active in searching on the web, you could earn more than £10 per month. But, I would suggest you not to over do it. If you purposely make extremely high amount of searches (a hundred or more) daily just to boost up your earning to maximum, they might suspend your earning.
When You will Get Paid?
Once you have reached the £20 minimum payout, Homepages Friends will issue payment 45 days after each month end. e.g. If your search earning for January is $25, then you will get paid in the mid of March. You can choose to receive your earning via Paypal or bank transfer.
Conclusion
The program is definitely not for people who want to earn big money as it can only make you an extra $10 to $20 per month. If you enjoy making some extra bucks while searching on the Internet, this program is right for you.

And for Homepages Friends, some satisfied members claimed that they have got paid several times. Also, a lot of people are giving positive opinions about this program.
How Much You can Earn?
Homepages Friends estimates that the average users regularly searching the internet could readily earn about £50 per year. If you are active in searching on the web, you could earn more than £10 per month. But, I would suggest you not to over do it. If you purposely make extremely high amount of searches (a hundred or more) daily just to boost up your earning to maximum, they might suspend your earning.
When You will Get Paid?
Once you have reached the £20 minimum payout, Homepages Friends will issue payment 45 days after each month end. e.g. If your search earning for January is $25, then you will get paid in the mid of March. You can choose to receive your earning via Paypal or bank transfer.
Conclusion
The program is definitely not for people who want to earn big money as it can only make you an extra $10 to $20 per month. If you enjoy making some extra bucks while searching on the Internet, this program is right for you.

FOREX 101: Make Money with Currency Trading
By Rich McIver
For those unfamiliar with the term, FOREX (FOReign EXchange market), refers to an international exchange market where currencies are bought and sold. The Foreign Exchange Market that we see today began in the 1970's, when free exchange rates and floating currencies were introduced. In such an environment only participants in the market determine the price of one currency against another, based upon supply and demand for that currency.
FOREX is a somewhat unique market for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is one of the few markets in which it can be said with very few qualifications that it is free of external controls and that it cannot be manipulated. It is also the largest liquid financial market, with trade reaching between 1 and 1.5 trillion US dollars a day. With this much money moving this fast, it is clear why a single investor would find it near impossible to significantly affect the price of a major currency. Furthermore, the liquidity of the market means that unlike some rarely traded stock, traders are able to open and close positions within a few seconds as there are always willing buyers and sellers.
Another somewhat unique characteristic of the FOREX money market is the variance of its participants. Investors find a number of reasons for entering the market, some as longer term hedge investors, while others utilize massive credit lines to seek large short term gains. Interestingly, unlike blue-chip stocks, which are usually most attractive only to the long term investor, the combination of rather constant but small daily fluctuations in currency prices, create an environment which attracts investors with a broad range of strategies.
How FOREX Works
Transactions in foreign currencies are not centralized on an exchange, unlike say the NYSE, and thus take place all over the world via telecommunications. Trade is open 24 hours a day from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon (00:00 GMT on Monday to 10:00 pm GMT on Friday). In almost every time zone around the world, there are dealers who will quote all major currencies. After deciding what currency the investor would like to purchase, he or she does so via one of these dealers (some of which can be found online). It is quite common practice for investors to speculate on currency prices by getting a credit line (which are available to those with capital as small as $500), and vastly increase their potential gains and losses. This is called marginal trading.
Marginal Trading
Marginal trading is simply the term used for trading with borrowed capital. It is appealing because of the fact that in FOREX investments can be made without a real money supply. This allows investors to invest much more money with fewer money transfer costs, and open bigger positions with a much smaller amount of actual capital. Thus, one can conduct relatively large transactions, very quickly and cheaply, with a small amount of initial capital. Marginal trading in an exchange market is quantified in lots. The term "lot" refers to approximately $100,000, an amount which can be obtained by putting up as little as 0.5% or $500.
EXAMPLE: You believe that signals in the market are indicating that the British Pound will go up against the US Dollar. You open 1 lot for buying the Pound with a 1% margin at the price of 1.49889 and wait for the exchange rate to climb. At some point in the future, your predictions come true and you decide to sell. You close the position at 1.5050 and earn 61 pips or about $405. Thus, on an initial capital investment of $1,000, you have made over 40% in profits. (Just as an example of how exchange rates change in the course of a day, an average daily change of the Euro (in Dollars) is about 70 to 100 pips.)
When you decide to close a position, the deposit sum that you originally made is returned to you and a calculation of your profits or losses is done. This profit or loss is then credited to your account.
Investment Strategies: Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis
The two fundamental strategies in investing in FOREX are Technical Analysis or Fundamental Analysis. Most small and medium sized investors in financial markets use Technical Analysis. This technique stems from the assumption that all information about the market and a particular currency's future fluctuations is found in the price chain. That is to say, that all factors which have an effect on the price have already been considered by the market and are thus reflected in the price. Essentially then, what this type of investor does is base his/her investments upon three fundamental suppositions. These are: that the movement of the market considers all factors, that the movement of prices is purposeful and directly tied to these events, and that history repeats itself. Someone utilizing technical analysis looks at the highest and lowest prices of a currency, the prices of opening and closing, and the volume of transactions. This investor does not try to outsmart the market, or even predict major long term trends, but simply looks at what has happened to that currency in the recent past, and predicts that the small fluctuations will generally continue just as they have before.
A Fundamental Analysis is one which analyzes the current situations in the country of the currency, including such things as its economy, its political situation, and other related rumors. By the numbers, a country's economy depends on a number of quantifiable measurements such as its Central Bank's interest rate, the national unemployment level, tax policy and the rate of inflation. An investor can also anticipate that less quantifiable occurrences, such as political unrest or transition will also have an effect on the market. Before basing all predictions on the factors alone, however, it is important to remember that investors must also keep in mind the expectations and anticipations of market participants. For just as in any stock market, the value of a currency is also based in large part on perceptions of and anticipations about that currency, not solely on its reality.
Make Money with Currency Trading on FOREX
FOREX investing is one of the most potentially rewarding types of investments available. While certainly the risk is great, the ability to conduct marginal trading on FOREX means that potential profits are enormous relative to initial capital investments. Another benefit of FOREX is that its size prevents almost all attempts by others to influence the market for their own gain. So that when investing in foreign currency markets one can feel quite confident that the investment he or she is making has the same opportunity for profit as other investors throughout the world. While investing in FOREX short term requires a certain degree of diligence, investors who utilize a technical analysis can feel relatively confident that their own ability to read the daily fluctuations of the currency market are sufficiently adequate to give them the knowledge necessary to make informed investments.

The Biggest Secret of Affiliate Best Marketing Program
You can make money with affiliate marketing. There are many great affiliate marketing programs in the internet. If you keep searching for the affiliate best marketing program then you miss the point. The biggest secret to succeed is not selecting the affiliate best marketing program but implementing MY FACE formula.
I learn from my coach, Ewen Chia, that to run a successful business requires FACE = Focus, Action, Commitment and Education. I add two other elements MY = Me and Why (Y). You will make money with affiliate marketing better when you apply MY FACE formula:
• Me -- It is “I” who is responsible for my successes and failures. If the business fails, the only person to blame is “Me”, not other people.
• Why – This is the strong self-drive that reminds you daily. Without a strong “Why”, you’ll end up joining the 90% of the people who fail in this business.
• Focus -- The keys to have the focus are priorities and concentration. Focus your efforts on doing the things that have the most significant impacts on your business. Focus on one business while you are building a home internet business and make sure it creates steady income.
• Action -- If your goals are not followed up by concrete actions, they will forever remain dreams. But if you act on them, they will become your destiny.
• Commitment -- Commitment is the undying determination which keeps you going no matter the obstacles. The real measure of commitment is action.
• Education -- Internet business is a growing business. You need to keep up-to-date with the market trends and needs. You must invest in your personal development to bring your affiliate marketing program to the next level.

How I Make $100 a Day Selling Tickets on Ebay..
I've experimented eith a number of ways to make money online... affiliate marketing, adsense and ebooksare some great ways but one of my
FAVORITE methods is also on of the easiest ways to start making money IMMEDIATELY.
I don't deal with inventory, online storefronts, answering millions of emails. I just buy tickets to popular events and sell them on Ebay for many times what I paid.
I know it doesn't sound like much but if you can't make $100 after reading this article then you have no business being online...
It's a lot easier to make quick money doing this than many think. Ebay even has a
dedicated section for selling tickets at http://tickets.ebay.com
If you follow the steps outlined below YOU WILL MAKE MONEY.
First of all, how does this work? If a concert is so popular, then how is it possible
to get tickets that someone would be willing to pay 2x for a few days later? Well,
the simple reason is that many people are impulse buyers and are willing to pay for that.
Think about the recent Hannah Montana concert in LA. If you waited for the second they went on sale (or pre-ordered), you could have gotten tickets for $65. But what about the fatherof two daughters who have been begging him to go to this concert for weeks and now it'ssold out...what does he do? Buy them on Ebay from you for $300 a piece.
I know it seems too simple to work but there are SO MANY people out there in a similar situation that arewilling to pay extra for getting 'sold out' tickets. The trick is - you just have to get to them first.
Now on to specifics....the most important ones are below. Visit www.auctions-traffic.com for others...
POPULARITY OF THE EVENT:
Try to buy tickets to bands that are only playing 1 show in your area. Also, keep in mind local bands. These can be the best sources of ticket revenue for you. For example,noone outside of Boston knows who the band Guster is, but their shows ALWAYS sell outbecause they are HUGELY popular in New England.
SIZE OF THE VENUE:
There are some super-popular events that are in huge venues. This is an important pointto consider. A concert at Madison Square Gardens - even if it is "sold out" - has a lothigher probability of there being tickets on ebay so you might not make as much money as if you were selling a 'sold out' concert at a much smaller venue.
Getting the ticket...The best way of actually getting tickets to these high-demand event is during 'presales'.Presales are not for the general public but only those people that have been givenaccess by someone with the presale password. This is meant for friends and family of people that work for the venue, etc.
However...it is possible to get these presale passwords.
On fatwallet.com or talktix.com you can find these presale passwords. Also, alot of timesyou can "sign up" to get presale passwords by calling your local radio station. OR the website of the band will have mailing lists you can join that will give you these codes.And, of course...you can get presale passwords on Ebay
Fake "Sold Outs"
Alot of times ticketmaster will display an online message saying that tickets are sold out. 9/10 times this is FAKE. They call this "fake drops" and it's meant to create a sense of urgency around the event in hopes of selling tickets faster. Keep trying to get tickets and, like I said, 9 out of 10 times you'll get them.
In Conclusion...
If you follow these tips, you can make money RIGHT NOW selling tickets on Ebay. Heck, you can even sell the presale codes! So go make some money before the day is done...Visit www.auctions-traffic.com for more FREE resources on how to make money!

How to Build an Online Network Marketing System by Daegan H. Smith
If you are thinking of selling a product or offering a service off the internet, there's only one good way to earn - and that is to build an online network marketing system. An online network marketing system is the strategy of almost all MLM or multi level marketing businesses today. Here, your marketing staff forms a network of sellers in such a way they are supporting each other, instead of competing with everybody else.
The structure of an online network marketing system is like an ancestry. You are building a tree of down lines and your position is at the very top. It works like a pyramid and the profit runs from the bottom all the way up to the top.
Once you have built a strong network of marketers, you are ensured of a good income. But then again, that exactly is the problem of online marketer. What is the most effective way of building an online network marketing system? How can you build a strong down line to gain massive income? Here are good suggestions:
1. Promote your business, product, or service.
Your most possible down lines are the people who need your products more. Just think about it. If these people need to buy your product on a regular basis, what do you think would be their reaction if you propose them a deal wherein they can get the product straight from the dealers at discounted prices? And all they have to do to avail of the discount is to be a member of the business. Show your prospect the amount of money he or she can save just by joining. He would definitely grab your offer even before you show him where to sign.
2. Look for fellow network marketers.
Partner yourself with a fellow network marketer and exchange leads with each other. You will definitely come face to face with too many people who could possibly be your down line. There are a lot of network marketers that can handle multiple online businesses. Also, if the person you partnered with agreed to be your down line while you become hers, you have just struck a deal that could take you places.
3. Advertise in places where there is huge traffic.
While looking for down lines in forums, social networking sites, and blog sites are a hit-and-miss thing, the possibility of finding a good network marketer from these places is good. Don't limit yourself to inviting only the people you know. Keep in mind that there are more than 100 million internet users in the whole world. If you only get to talk to 1% of them and convince them to join, you will definitely build a strong down line that would allow you to retire in the next couple of years.
4. Get referrals from family and friends.
Some people dread asking their families and friends for help when it comes to networking or marketing. If you really don't want to get them involved, at least ask for good leads from them. It won't hurt if you introduce them your business. You can still do that without inviting them to join. Who knows, but maybe just by showing them your website, they will be intrigued with it enough to spring the question of how to join the program themselves. Don't shun yourself to all the possibilities. Think outside of the box. Get out of your comfort zone. That's basically how rich people made their money.

Dr. Mark had the "privilege" of getting a "sneak peek" insider scoop at 25 of the World's top Internet marketers' collection of best-kept secrets - "secrets" that enable these same millionaires to remain in first-place over everybody else trying to earn a living online. If you are like the majority of us (yours truly included) you should be appalled by the idea that a small group of "Internet elitists" (less than 0.0034% of all online marketers) are hoarding a collection of strategies, secrets, techniques, tricks and even "marketing weapons" that allow them to control 99.997% of the Web's wealth.
This even blows away the widely accepted "80/20 rule" we're all familiar with that usually implies that 20% of the people control or possess 80% of the money.
So, what's Dr. Mark got his hands on?
The ANSWER: Dr. Mark has compiled a collection of 53 of the best-kept secrets from among the aforementioned 25 Internet experts (millionaires!)
Each of the 53 secrets is actually a fully-definitive report providing specific detailed instructions showing you exactly how to better-perform in such things as 1. Email marketing, 2. Internet marketing, 3. Advertising, 4. Free promotions, 5. Press releases, and 6. More effective copywriting, etc.
But don't think by any means that just because you recognize one or more of these categories and that you may be familiar with them to some degree that you already know what Dr. Mark has. That would be the BIGGEST mistake you could possibly make ever! It's similar to two people who both take karate: one's a beginner while the other is a 7th degree black belt. While both are karate practitioners who study the exact same styles and moves, there is clearly a broad gap (even a canyon!) between their respective skill levels. Likewise, just because you may be doing email marketing to some extent, it doesn't mean that you know "email marketing" like the one Internet expert (from among the 25 Internet experts) who's making $60 million a year online from just email marketing alone! Or, like one of the other experts (again from the 25 Internet experts) who's making over $180 million a year using just 1-paged websites that contain no graphics, and nothing fancy, yet which churn out cash by the ton daily.
How are they doing his?
That's the "meat and potatoes" found inside Dr. Mark's newly released "25 Internet Experts."
And although all the topics are the same as those discussed generally and openly online among Internet and affiliate marketers alike, the chief differences are the exact details outlining what these experts are doing that's perhaps just a degree or two off from the mainstream (and that's making all the difference in the World!) What's got these same 25 top gurus so worried s that since Dr. Mark is making his info collection readily available, their worried that the massive wealth they now control may quickly fall into other people's hands (including YOURS!)

How to Make Good Money Online Without a Website by Cindy Garrido
Would you like to learn a system for making money online, even without using a website... or even a single web page?
First off, I'm sick and tired of the gurus claiming you'll make money with "this new system", or "that new e-book." And it's frustrating seeing all those networking companies or pyramid schemes promising you'll make a certain amount of money if you follow their tried and true methods.
Here's what I know. If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. The same rules apply to the internet. If you want to make money online bad enough, and you completely devote yourself to this pursuit, you'll eventually earn the kind of money you desire... even without the help of "gurus" or "pyramid schemes."
So with the myriad of money making programs on the internet (some, of course, immoral... some legitimate... some not so legitimate), I'm going to help you filter through the garbage and show you a method I first used to earn money online before I had a website.
Now, I'm not going to make any guarantees about this system other than to say that it has worked for many others, including myself. My hope is nothing more than pointing out to you the possibilities of what you can accomplish online. There may have been many reasons why you decided not to build a website. Maybe you don't have the knowledge to build a website, or possibly you've been too timid to even try. Or maybe you didn't have the money to build a site. Whatever your reason for not building your website, hopefully this guide will show you just how feasible, and profitable, not having a website can really be!
My goal is to offer a basic start up guide for you to get started. But remember, in the long run, to really make the most amount of profits online, you're going to need a website. A website will provide a professional presence for you online. In fact, the profits you make from the system I'm going to show you in a second can be re-invested into your business so that you can start your own web presence with a website.
Let's jump right into it. Follow these simple steps to making money online without a website:
1) FIND A PRODUCT TO SELL The very first thing you're going to need is a product to sell. To do this, find someone else's product that offers an affiliate program that you can participate in. I usually go to clickbank.com or paydotcom.com to find product that I feel will do well in the market. Simply sign up for the affiliate program and you'll be ready to roll with a product to market.
2) GET AN AUTORESPONDER ACCOUNT Next, you'll need a method to follow up on your contacts. So, you'll need to set yourself up with an autoresponder account. Autoresponders work by allowing you to set up a series of follow-up messages that go to your subscriber at pre-determined times. As an example, if a subscriber signs up for your list, the autoresponder will send out an automated, personalized email welcoming them, Then, on pre-determined dates set by you, the autoresponder will send out a series of emails with information you provide.
3) CRAFT YOUR FOLLOW UP MESSAGE Now, remember, practice makes perfect. And writing up follow up messages is no different. You may be terrible at creating the messages at first. But with practice, you'll find it easier and easier to create follow-ups that really get your subscribers to take the actions you desire. As a general format to follow, however, remember that first email is a welcome email. In the welcome email, you're going to thank your subscriber for joining your list, and provide free tips or an e-book about the information they're looking for. The next few emails should provide the subscriber with solid information, giving the subscriber free tips and tactics about the topic of your product. Remember to include a link to the product near your signature. Look at the end of this article as an example of this.
4) CREATE A WEBFORM Once the autoresponder is set up with at least a couple messages, you'll need to create a webform or a link to your webform. If you don't have a website, you can easily create a free blog at blogger.com to insert your webform. The webform will allow prospects to subscribe to your "opt-in" webform and subscribe to your list.
5) ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE Next, advertise your blogger blog with your webform to your autoresponder everywhere you can. Here's some ideas: write articles and submit them to article directories, trade links with other blogger blogs, pay per click advertising, write press releases, participate in forums and leave your signature form, or buy ezine ads. Then when prospects see your ad and enter their information on your webform, they'll be subscribed to your list. When they're on your list, you can now promote your affiliate product until your subscriber "dies, buys, or removes him/herself from the list."
6) TEST EVERYTHING Now remember, it may take some time to really get good at the system I've described above. Setting it up is the easy part. But, ensuring that you create words that motivate and ultimately get people to buy from you, will take some time. It takes practice, and there may be a learning curve before you begin to really generate sales. To hone in on what really works, will require that you test everything. Whatever advertising you decide to do, track and test the ad. This way you'll know exactly which ads produce the best results.
You can make good money online without a website. If you find a good product to sell, have an autoresponder and follow up messages, create your webform, advertise everywhere, and test everything, you'll stand a much better chance at getting subscribers who'll ultimately buy from you. Good Luck.
