My top 7 income

I’ve noticed from reading other blogs, readers seem to enjoy learning how other sites make money.

So I’ve developed a “Top 7″ list of my top income generators based on nothing more than monthly income earned.

Note: This list is from all my sites combined.

—————-

1. Wild West Domains

This program is a great example of why you should look for affiliate or reseller programs in your niche that pay residual commissions.

If my site got wiped out today, I would still be able to live off the residual income I’ve generated since joining this program in 2002.

If you have a site that targets Webmasters, reselling domains and web hosting is a great way to build a long-term income that continues to grow and grow.

As a reseller, you receive your own customizable website that allows you to set your prices and determine your profit.

Wild West Domains handles all the customer and technical support, so all you do is promote your own reseller store.

It would be hard for any other affiliate program to bump this from the #1 spot.

2. SiteSell

I’ve been receiving checks from SiteSell’s affiliate program since 1999, but nothing like the ones I started getting when I bought Site Build It! and displayed my own success story.

This was my biggest lesson in the importance of knowing and actually using products you refer from your site.

SiteSell’s affiliate program pays a generous $75 per Site Build It! sale, plus residuals on all yearly renewals.

I really wish more affiliate programs would put the same amount of time and energy SiteSell does into helping affiliates.

I’ve never known another company to offer so many tools to help their affiliates make sales. From videos with your affiliate links embedded in them to over 60 audience-relevant landing pages, this program has it all.

3. Affiliate Networks (CJ.com, ShareASale.com, etc.)

I promote a variety of products that I find on some of the larger affiliate networks. From web software, web hosting, HTML editors, to anything I can find that’s useful and related to my audience.

Belonging to an affiliate network has its advantages…

1) If you’re looking for a specific product to promote, you can do a search to see if there are any relevant affiliate programs that offer the product.

2) You can join multiple programs with a few mouse clicks.

3) All of your earnings are tracked in one place, so you have one-stop reporting instead of multiple affiliate account logins.

The downside is that many companies who run their affiliate programs through large networks tend to have sub-par customer support.

There have been many occasions where I’ve sent an email to a company I’m affiliated with through CJ and never received a response. Companies that run their own in-house affiliate programs seem to have better customer support over all.

Nevertheless, large affiliate networks are definitely worth exploring, particularly if you’re looking for a specific product to promote on your site or blog.

4. AdSense

I hate using the term “easy money”, but if you have enough traffic, AdSense has got to be one of the easiest way to generate an income from your site or blog.

AdSense performs much better on my sites not targeted to Webmasters and Bloggers - which is a big reason why you don’t see AdSense on this blog.

Bloggers and Webmasters tend to be immune to Google ads so they ignore them. However on my fitness site, my click-thru ratio has been as high as 8 or 9%.

My main site, 2CreateAWebSite.com, does OK with AdSense because it gets enough traffic to make displaying the ads worthwhile.

5. ClickBank

With ClickBank, you really have to feel it out and see what works for you. Even though it’s on my Top 7 list, I must admit there is a lot of garbage on ClickBank.

Many of the eBooks you can sell are a bunch of recycled facts you can find anywhere on the web.

They are usually promoted by an over-hyped landing page with a loud sales pitch that promises you to either get rich quick, lose weight tomorrow, or get out of debt in seconds.

However, if you really comb through the ClickBank marketplace, you can find some winners. I was able to find a few good digital products to promote that convert well on my sites.

The great thing about ClickBank is that the commissions are extremely high since product development and delivery costs are low. You could earn up to $75 on certain products in their marketplace.

6. AdBrite

Many people use AdBrite’s cost per click program (similar to AdSense). However, I use them to manage my own flat-rate ads.

I have various advertising spots on 2CreateAWebSite.com where I charge a flat fee for the week, month, etc. and AdBrite manages the payments, ad rotation, etc.

If you’re looking to offer advertising on your site, but don’t want to deal with collecting the payments and setting up an ad rotation script, you may want to check into AdBrite.

They still have some kinks to work out (support response time, ad rotation options, better targeting for network ads, etc.) but they are getting better with time.

7. Amazon.com

With its extremely low commission payout, it’s amazing this even made it to number 7.

Even though Amazon only pays 3-4% on most products, it’s still not a bad program to belong to because they sell almost every product known to man.

They also have widgets you can place on your pages that will display a small selection of products that match the theme of your site.

Let’s say you have a site on stress relief, you can add an Amazon widget that will display 3-4 books on stress relief with links directly to the product pages.

—————-

I didn’t create this list so you’ll join all seven programs here. Many of these programs perform well on my sites because of my traffic and theme. Of course, you’ll have to discover what works best for your audience.

I encourage you to diversify your income streams as much as you can. If you are only earning from AdSense, join some of the larger networks (CJ, ShareASale, etc.) to look for other relevant products.

Take a peek at AssociatePrograms.com. Allan has a nice directory of affiliate programs organized by subject.

And finally, don’t discount lower paying programs like Amazon.com. Even at .50 cents per sale, if you can sell large volumes, that money can add up over time.

The large product selection and brand recognition is what keeps Amazon.com on the list of good affiliate programs to join.

Best Survey Sites

This blog has trialed out various types of online money making schemes and I thought I'd list the best sites for doing surveys.

1. Globaltestmarket. This is my highest earner to date (earnings are $100). They send surveys regularly and pay something even if you don't qualify for the full survey. As a result the earnings build up quickly. Click here to read more.

2. YouGov. Most YouGov polls are political. They now cover most of North America as well as yhe UK. I have cashed out £50 from them to date. Click here to read more.

3. Lightspeed Panel - They send regular surveys. Though you don't get paid if you don't pass the screening questions, they are good at sending surveys that you qualify for, so screenouts are infrequent. I've earned £36 from this site to date. Click here to read more.

4. Valued Opinions. They also send frequent surveys. You get screened out more frequently than on Lightspeed Panel, but this is still worth joining as pay per completed survey can be high. I've earned £25 from this site. Click here to read more.

5. JuicyBrainsPanel. Another British site. They pay something (25p) even if you are screened out. Surveys not as frequent as the previously listed sites. I've earned £13.50 from this site. Click here to read more.

6. Media Transfer. German site that pays even if you are screened out and pays exceptionally well if you complete the full survey. Drawback is that survey invites are infrequent. I've earned £16 from this site. Click here to read more.

Best PTC sites

Paid-to-click/paid-to-read-email sites are another online earning opportunity. There are literally thousands out there. I usually click these sites at the same time as I am reading news sites online (this is ideal if you have tabbed browsing, you simply click and let the timer run down while you go back to what you were reading on another tab), as this way you earning even while doing something else. The best way to earn on these sites of course is to build up a stream of referrals (something I'm not altogether successful at!).

Here are my top earners:

1. Hits4Pay. Have cashed out $25.68 so far. easy to earn as their emails usually pay 2 cents per email, and they are diligent about recording referrals and crediting you (which not many sites are). Click here to read more.

2. GlobalCahsClicks. This site literally has hundreds of banners to click each day. I have earned $10.81 from this site to date. Click here for more details.

3. DonkeyMails. Again, lots of emails to read. Have earned $6.36 to date. Click here for more details.

4. JillsClickCorner. Another site with banners to click and sites to sign up for. Have earned $6.00 to date. Click here to read more.

5. Archerfish. This is a Uk site with emails and banners to click. Have cashed out £3 to date. Click here to read more.

Content Syndication with Traffic jam for earning the money

TrafficJam.com has just launched its content syndication service that allows small blogs an opportunity to be more visible or exposed in the blogsphere.

TrafficJam.com derived its contents from blogs syndicated under the BlogRush.com network.

What is content syndication ?

Content syndication is a feature that extracts your blog posting and published it on their site. Each content posting are then ranked by the readers. Naturally, highly rank content posting will appear on top of the list.

Who are the syndicates ?

There are many online networks that syndicate the contents from their members. Among them are stumbleupon.com, digg.com, postonfire.com, indianpad.com, etc.

The above syndicates utilize their readers to recommend and rank (or rate) a post. As such, the content recommendation is pretty much manual.

Method of TrafficJam syndication

TrafficJam meanwhile, get the content feeds from BlogRush data and look like it more automated then the rest of the content syndication network. This mean, you don't have to spent time to post your blog content to the site.

For information, members of BlogRush get to have their post distributed to other bloggers via BlogRush widget (sometime like a news or event ticker). BlogRush widget is not that effective but with the introduction of TrafficJam, more bloggers will rejoin BlogRush to feed their posting to their network of BlogRush and TrafficJam.

Earning Techniques:-bux.to


Bux.to is a PTC(Paid To Click) site with around 2.5 million users that pays you to click on ads. It is currently one of the top PTCs. You get paid $0.01 for viewing each 30-second ad. Bux.to offers a large number of ads and makes trusted payments. Payments are made via AlertPay. Minimum payout is $10.
How do I earn with Bux.to? You click an ad, wait for the page to load, then wait for the timer to countdown, and then see if you get a green check mark or a red cross mark. Green check mark means the ad you viewed validated and you earned your one cent.
The minimum cash out amount is $10. AlertPay charges some fees, hence you will receive only about $9 if you request for $10 from Bux.to. Bux.to requires a maximum of 60 days processing time for Standard members, and 30 days processing time for Premium members. To become a standard member it's free. To be a premium member, you need to pay and upgrade. But if you want, you can always stay a standard member and never upgrade and still earn. If you upgrade, you get more ads to view and get more from your referrals but it's not necessary at all that you upgrade.
Also, you cannot process more than one cash out request simultaneously; a security measure to prevent site exploitation. A bummer, but a kind-of-a necessity.
Bux.to has even introduced a prepaid MasterCard which you can use to get your money, cool, ain't it?
ConclusionBux.to will last for a long time because it has a large user base (around 2.5 million users).
And regarding your earnings, if you have a large network of people online or offline that you could introduce Bux.to as your referral, you could make a lot of money. I know for a fact that you could make 4 figures a month. On the forum boards people are saying 1000$, 2300$ and11000$ total user payouts. I believe them. I think Bux.to has earning potential.
Great, how do I sign up?1)First of all you need to sign up with an AlertPay account if you don't have one yet. Click here to get an AlertPay account.
2)After you sign up with AlertPay, Click here to sign up with Bux.to.
3)Then search for a link "Register" or "SignUp" in the page that opens, click it, fill up an application form and you will be accepted as soon as you submit your form.
4)You can then login and start viewing your ads. Don't try to visit a number of ads simultaneously at the same time. Let the timer for one ad expire before you click the link to view another ad. This is very important, otherwise, you won't be credited.
5)After you reach your minimum payout($10), cash out your money to your AlertPay account or your MasterCard prepaid card. If you select AlertPay, you can always transfer funds to your bank account or your credit card from your AlertPay account.
For more of this kind of programs,
Happy Earnings!
