Can Money Be Made?

In the case of surveys - Well yes it can! But, is it worth all the hassle? You must have a clear idea of what you are trying to achieve and of the trustworthy sites that you will get paid from and what amounts you are likely to make. Writing Blogs? We'll see! I also look at Paid to Read and some other Affiliate Programs

Online Earnings 101 - Part 1

I would like to tell you that in generating my online earnings that I've been following a well defined strategy. Unfortunately it has all been a bit "seat of the pants" so far and I am only now really developing a long-term strategy. Nonetheless over the last couple of months, based on currency conversion of £1 = $2 (which isn't too far out), I have generated credits of around $300.

I was careful to use the word credits as I have not received payment from all the programmes I am in but I am counting all programme credits in the total. An outline of the "plan" followed so far has been to join a number of PTR programmes to generate cash; carried out surveys; tried to generate referrals to these sites and research affiliate marketing opportunities.

Surprisingly this blog has, with the use of Adsense, been one of my better earners. As you are probably aware the real money from Adsense is made when someone clicks on one of the ads on your page and you are directly credited. What is less well known is that when you generate enough traffic you start being credited simply for showing the ads. I have found that to generate traffic to this blog and earn this money the easy (and free way) to do it is use Traffic Exchanges.

I currently use three of them Magnify Traffic, Road Runner and EasyHits4U. They all have advantages / disadvantages but I find by using them on tabs in a tabbed browser I can switch between them and generate quite a bit of traffic with very little effort. I try to browse 250 sites on Magnify Traffic and Road Runner each day which gives me around 250 credits all told. In the same time I will only manage around 80 sites on EasyHits4U. Like some people may play solitaire or another game when they have time on their hands I generate traffic. I guess it is boring but using my credits I can guarantee traffic to this blog and this generates Adsense credit without an Ad clicking visitor. On some days this may only be a cent or two on other days fifteen cents although if an ad gets clicked it can generate quite a bit more; on one occasion a single click generated about $1.40!

I'm currently planning the next post in this 101 will look at my favourite survey sites.
