5 Way Money make by Ads


Isn’t that what everyone wants? To be able to make money from blogging? Well here is your answer. Its called Advertisements. There are a bunch of sites out there that allow you to place ads on your personal or commercial website / blog, and earn cash for doing so! So why not? Its pretty much free money, if people click on your ads! So here are some simple secrets / things to know before you get started with making money online with ads!
Theres 2 general secrets for making cash online. 1. Produce good content, so a lot of people will go to your site! The more people that go to your site, the bigger the chance of getting them to click on your ads! 2. Put them on more than just your homepage! If someone clicks on a direct link to one of your posts, and theres no ads to click on that page relating to your content, then you could have just missed a few clicks! The more clicks, the more money. Keep that in mind, and remember not to click on your own ads. (From your computer. Hehe.)
All these services are free. The amount of money you actually pull in, depends on how much traffic your blog gets. Chances are, if you get tons of visitors on your site, you have tons of ad clicks, and you will pull in tons of money.
Here are the most popular choices for advertisements on your website.
1. Google AdSenseEveryone uses AdSense. Whenever you go to a page, and their are rectangles with a picture ad, or a rectangle with small links inside them, thats AdSense! The person that puts those ads on their site, gets paid everytime someone clicks on that ad! Each click could be 2 cents, or it could be up to 3 dollars per click. Remember that many publishers out there make a living off of advertisements. They pay the bills sometimes. All the big bloggers out there, use AdSense most of the time, and they get tons of money, because so many people visit their site and click the ads! AdSense produces ads related to your content, in image ads or text ads.
2. TLA (Text-Link-Ads)TLA is along the same lines as AdSense. The ads look the same but they wont say ‘Ads by Google’ under or above them. These ive heard, dont bring in as much income per click as AdSense. Its still a great alternative. You can use TLA along side AdSense ads, so you wont have to choose between the two!
Update TLA (Not Confirmed) - Ive heard from ShellTrix that you might need 1000 hits per day to sign up for Text-Link-Ads? My first blog didnt have that much traffic, although i did have TLA integrated. This might be something new, but i havent heard or seen anything official. You might want to confirm that one by signing up.
3. Yahoo! Publishers NetworkYahoo! also has an ad network, which some might not have known of. This one is fairly new to me as well. Yahoo! ads, are the exact same as Google AdSense ads, but it says ‘Ads by Yahoo!’ instead of Google. Theres no real difference between the two, but Yahoo!, ive heard, tends to bring in more income.
4. AdBriteAdBrite ads, are the ads you see when you rollover text-links, and a small hover window pops up with an ad in it. These ads are the first ads i was ever exposed to. I remember seeing these a long time ago. They are still live today. Theres a choice between text and image ads, like Yahoo! and Google ads.
5. Auction AdsAuction Ads, are alot different from the previous 4, in a couple of ways. There are no image ads, and not text ads. Well not in the shape or form that your used to. These ads are in a banner, displaying products that are up for auction on popular sites like Ebay, and Amazon. When the users click on the ads, and buy the product, the site notifies Auction Ads, and they pay you for it! This one is really good for a site that has to do with a product. It will usually post products that are related to your website content like the previous services.
So theres 5 of them, im sure there are more, but these are the most popular. If i missed one, that you think could be essential to this post, let me know! Im open for discussion. Also, all of these services use the same format of placing the ads on your site. You copy a usual javascript / html code, and paste it on your site where you want it. Its much easier if your using platforms like Blogger, or Wordpress, where they have simple integration options.
See many more ways to make money online by going here!
Update - After browsing the web alot after creating this post in the beginning, i see that there are litterally a ton of Ad services. Some are harder to find than others. You will end up coming across them if you do a search for Ad services, or you come across them on someone elses blog. Many of these wont be pointed out by anyone, but they could still be worth going for. Also, there is always direct Ad services. Without using something like Google, you could do something like GigaOM, how he has people pay him directly through PayPal, to straight up advertise their product or site on his blog. Although he is professional, people still might want to get the word out. [Update Continued Below]
Referral services are crucial too. Stes like PayPal, Feedburner and many other services like this, allow you to advertise for them if you get enough hits, and get paid for them. These are usually hard to come across without actually searching, so good luck. [End Update]

Financial Freedom Millionaire's Level

Financial Freedom Millionaire’s Level - Mukul
First thing first, to be a millionaire, you need to know how much you want to earn every day, how much money you make every month and every year. You must know exactly where you want to be financially. In other words, you must identify the specific financial levels that can be achievable and attainable.
Level 1 : Financial StabilityWell, this is the most basic level of financial, most people you meet everyday will be categorized in this level. So what are the characteristics of Financial Stability? Ok, you will achieve Financial Stability when you have accumulated enough liquid assets to cover your current expenses for a minimum of six months. Besides that, you will need to have life and hospitalization insurance to protect you and your family, or you won’t be able to maintain your current lifestyle.
If you have achieve this first level, you will have the peace of mind that should any unexpected challenges befall you (business failure, pay cut, death or disabled), you and your family lifestyle will not be compromised. Once you’ve achieve this basic financial level, it will also ensure that you have sufficient time to venture for new streams of income. In the mean time, once you reached this level, you will have financial stability to quit your job and to start your very own business, should you need to. After you’ve achieve this level, here comes the next level.Level 2 : Financial SecurityYou will achieve Financial Security once you generate enough passive or residual income to cover all your basic expenses. Remember, the cash flow you generated must be passive or residual income, not from your salary. And all the cash flow generated here is enough to cover only basic expenses, not your lifestyle expenses. When you attain this, you are said to be in Financial Security.
In this level, you can quit your job and without working, you can sustain a very simple and basic lifestyle. In addition, if you continue to work, all your active income from your salary can be used to channeled your investment. Therefore will further increase your assets and increase your income streams. Yeah, it is not enough for you and me, what we want here is to make big money, you know, humans are greedy. Then you must aim for.
Level 3 : Financial FreedomYes, sounds familiar to you right? We’ve heard people often telling us that they want to achieve Financial Freedom, they want their life to be free financially. So what exactly is Financial Freedom? Ok, Financial Freedom is when you through your investment of time, money and ideas, accumulated a critical amount of positive cash flow, which is enough to maintain your current lifestyle. Yes, Financial Freedom is only enough to sustain your current lifestyle, and not your desired lifestyle.
When you’ve reach this level, you can choose to stop working and still, maintain your current standard of living, for sure. But most people when they’ve successfully achieve this level, they will still continue with their business or work. It is not that they need to, but they choose to, because they love their work love their business so much. Obviously, the more expenses you have now, the more luxurious your lifestyle will be, and the longer for you to achieve Financial Freedom. If you keep on invest your money, keep on making deals in your businesses, finally, you will come to this level.
Final Level : Financial AbundanceSo, this is the final financial level you can achieve. It is pretty much like other financial levels, just that, through the investment of your time, money and ideas, the money accumulated from passive income is able to sustain your desired lifestyle. The desired lifestyle expenses are the expenses that will take you to live the life of your dreams. Well, this is totally depends on what kind of desired lifestyle you wish to live. For example, if you dream of living in a 20,000 square-feet bungalow with a swimming pool, drive a BMW 5 Series, then you could be looking at a monthly lifestyle that will cost you around $50,000. And the more luxurious your desired lifestyle, the more longer you need time to achieve Financial Abundance.
And again, once you reach this level, you can stop your all your work anytime you wish. But then, most people choose to continue with their work. They love their work so much, for them, working is fun, and money is a game. And they will even donate they active income for charity causes and keep compounding their wealth. Great, now you are clear with all the financial levels that you can achieve.
Ask yourself, which financial level are you now, and which level you want to achieve. With the right strategies and massive action, I’m sure everyone can achieve Financial Abundance.

Instant Affiliate Profit with 0 Zero Cost

Posted by Mukul
Over the last few years, a number of Web 2.0 sites have been launched. And some of them have come as a boon to Internet Marketers. Well, many people still don’t realise the power of these websites. But there are other smart Marketers who have used these Web 2.0 sites to their full potential.
I have noticed that one particular website has been used by some smart affiliates to generate commissions without spending a dime on their own. In this article, I will show how you too can use that site to generate instant affiliate profits.
The website I’m referring to is www.squidoo.com. Squidoo is a website where you can create your own web pages (they call it lenses) on any topic. You register with them for free, think of a topic, give a name to your’lens’, put some content on it and publish it.
So how can this be of any help to you? Here’s how - Google loves Squidoo and their lenses (web pages) get good rankings in the Google search results. Which means that a well developed lens can get you hoardes of free traffic.
Let me explain this with a few examples. Recently, there was a big product launch. The ebook was called “Project Black Mask” and it sold 1000s of copies in the first few days. Huge number of people were searching for the term “Project Black Mask” on Google, to get reviews of the product. Many people still search this keyword.
I searched for the keyword myself and this is what I saw:
Notice the third result in the natural listings. Its an “Under Construction” lens on Squidoo. The guy who owns the lens has no content on it whatsoever but he still has the third ranking on a very popular ebook. Had he put some content, reviewed the product and put in his affiliate link in there - he would have made a killing.
Another example. This one is “Day Job Killer”, an ebook that broke all sales records on Clickbank. I remember that during launch day, there were over 10,000 searches on this keyword. There are many searches on it even today. Look at the results:
See the number 4 result - again a Squidoo lens. This time the guy has got some content on it with his affiliate link. Imagine the kind of commissions he makes for creating a free web page.
You can search for any number of these ebooks and you will find a Squidoo page up there. Notice the name of the lenses - this is the part after www.squidoo.com/
In both the examples, the name of the lens includes the name of the ebook. This gives the page more weightage for that keyword on Google and helps in its ranking.
This is a very smart way to make some quick affiliate commissions, without spending any money whatsoever. Here’s a step by step guide to use this technique:
1) Do some searches on popular ebooks and look up the Squidoo lenses that are ranked high. Make a note of their content, writing style, affiliate links, etc. These lenses are doing it right and you want to copy their style.
2) Find out what Internet Marketing products are going to launch in the recent future. Remember, you are looking for products that have a potential of becoming popular. So go after the products from the Gurus, the big guys. You can sign up with www.imnewswatch.com to keep track of these launches.
3) Create a lens on Squidoo. Give it a name that includes the name of the product. You can use dashes or underscores as well.
4) Develop the lens on the same lines as the ones which get good rankings in Google. Include your affiliate links a number of times.
That’s it. Just wait for Google to pick up your lens and list it for the targetted keyword. If you do things right, you will surely make handsome affiliate commissions.
