Two Guys Still In Their 20′s Making $103,569 a MONTH on Clickbank
This Clickbank system took Anik Singal and Saj P over 3 years to develop. The story behind it is actually pretty funny. Apparently they were independently working on the same system for years (didn’t even know each other) and realized it a few months ago when they met. Anyways, the point is that I reviewed the system. I was amazed at how fast you can execute this system (if you’re serious and dedicate to it). Last time I spoke with Saj P he told me that they’re getting ready to close the site very soon. I point blank asked him if he was “hyping” or serious and he said they are very serious.
If nothing else, at least read this page:
Also right now they have TONS of amazing bonuses, I got sucked in just to grab some of the bonuses! For example – Have you made money using YouTube yet? Well, Anik Singal has made over $356,000 to be exact. He talks about how he’s giving away that entire system as a bonus as well. Like I said, if nothing else, I highly recommend at least reading this page you’ll regret it if you don’t and they take it down soon.

Stumble ItMaking Money With Cell Phones, My First Month Running A Mobile Site
No matter where you go on the web you’ll come across something having to do with Mobile and it being the future. With the success of the iPhone (just bought the iPhone 4 it’s great) and the App Store Apple defines itself as a mobile company now and no longer a computer computer. Google who’s Apple’s biggest competitor in the Mobile arena at this point has also been taking major steps to solidify it’s position in the market. There open source mobile operating system Android has been very successful over past few years and many feel in the long run it will beat the iPhone in sheer reach. Along with Android Google also purchased Admob the mobile ad network for $750 million.
With all these major companies setting up to control this market, we the little guys should most certainly be moving even quicker to make sure we’re ready to profit from the already billion dollar trend.
Just last month I launched my mobile entertainment site geared towards the music market and I’ve already turned a profit with barely any traffic. The site is so new that Google hasn’t even indexed it yet. I’ve just been driving traffic to it from my personal websites. I won’t tell you the name of the site yet because I don’t want the leeches duplicating my efforts this early in game, I have to make sure I’m killing this market first before I reveal anything, the same way I do with all my other websites.
Infolinks vs Vibrant Media, Which Pays More!
A year ago I touched on In-Text Ads and how much a particular company (Kontera) sucked, In the post I mentioned Info Links and Vibrant Media and that I was going to try those two companies out before I quite on In-Text Ads all together. Since Kontera was so Horrible there is no way that Info Links or Vibrant Media could be worst. I also spoke on how strict Vibrant Media was and how I kept getting turned down when I applied, they always gave some vague reason like type of content, traffic etc.
Eventually I said forget it and went with Info Links, I signed up to them last year and we all know how last year was as far as income is concerned but even in the peak of the recession Info Links still paid far better than Kontera did a year before. Below is a week earnings for Info Links from May.
Making Money With Membership Sites, My First Month Running A Membership Website
Actually it’s my second month running a membership website but the first month I didn’t have a payment option set up yet because I wanted to test everything to make sure there were no bugs, security issues etc. On May 1st was when I launched the Premium part of my website Mixtapes.tv. The business model I used for my membership site is the Fremium model aka the “try it before you buy it” model. In this day and age plus the type of audience I’m selling to, this model works great. I believe my product was good enough so I didn’t have any issues with offering it for free and then later offering a upgrade to unlock more features.
A little bit about my membership site.
It’s called Mixtapes.tv, it’s a site where DJs, Artists, and A&Rs can upload and share there mixtapes for free. Users are able to sign up and download these mixtapes for free as well. The key to this site is knowing what parts should be free and what parts shouldn’t be. For example users can sign up and download 5 mixtapes a month as zip files but a premium member can download unlimited mixtapes, another feature is premium members can download individual tracks but free users can’t. The method here is that you have to make the free service good enough for them to want to upgrade to the premium service. For example a user can use the site forever as free member to listen and download unlimited mixtapes. This creates user retention and will eventually lead to upgrades.
How To Make Money With Facebook Ads, The Guide To Read
Now I don’t mean to brag but I’m quite the expert when it comes to getting traffic from Facebook for free, and I’ve been doing it for a very long time. The thing about free traffic from Facebook “Like” pages, groups and profiles is that in most cases it doesn’t convert very well into sales, but if you invest the time it does and can be great if you work at it and tweak it just right. But this could take months and on the internet a couple months for a business is a life time.
I’m not talking about making money on Facebook in a couple months here I’m talking about making money on Facebook tomorrow. You can’t do that with free traffic and that’s where Facebook ads come in.

Ad.ly – Make Money With Twitter, Don’t Miss This Plane
There has been quite a few Twitter advertising networks to come out the would works over the past year or so such as Sponsored Tweets, Betweeted, Twitvert, Twittad, Magpie and a dozen more. The problem is none of them have truly don’t understand how Twitter works on a social level most of these Twitter advertising networks are usually broken down into two types of networks, the ones that only go after celebrities with high a high volume of followers and the other that just goes after spammers and tire kickers and doesn’t ad any real value to advertisers or Twitter.
Ad.ly is the first network to accommodate all Twitter users, they have a large number of high profile celebrities but there is also room for the little guys with only a few thousand followers. Some of you who have already joined the network a while back might remember that campaign NBC had for upcoming shows one of which was True Blood (love that show) which I think everyone at the time got paid to tweet about the season finale which was $290 for a Tweet, yeah that’s right one Tweet. Some Users are even getting upwards of $5,000 per tweet,and this is just the beginning.
Checkout the video from their Launch back in September. It includes some pretty big celebrity endorsements like Dr Drew, Chamillionaire, Tony Hawk, and many others:
BigCommerce – The Best All In One Online Store Builder
As ecommerce continues to grow at a unstoppable pace now currently a 10 billion dollar a year industry, the demand for more capable ecommerce solutions are needed more than ever. I’ve seen quite a few different companies come out the wood work with so called ecommerce solution that clearly displays there lack of knowledge in what consumers are looking for in today’s web environment, while some companies such as Yahoo,ProStores and SiteBuildIt that have been around for quite some time have evolved with the times a remained at the top of list.
BigCommerce is a new comer (well sort of new) to the list of ecommerce solutions BigCommerce is a hosted, fully managed version of Interspire Shopping Cart that was launched by Interspire in June 2009. With the Interspire Shopping Cart software being so highly popular and successful they the decided to launch a full blown hosted version of it, it’s a hosted solution meaning they take care of the servers, security, upgrades and backups for your online store so you don’t have to, this is great for small and large size businesses that looking to run there business and no worry about managing a server. Not I know I said ProStores was the The Best Ecommerce Website Builder, but I think BigCommerce could give them a run for their money and here is why.
BigCommerce does a pretty good job of describing all the features that are included in there service so I won’t do their job for them but instead I’ll touch on only a few of the key features and why they’re important in today’s web environment.
Life After Adsense, What To Do When Adsense Starts To Suck Ass
Now anyone who has a website that receives consistent traffic over a long period of time and uses Google AdSense to monetize their traffic have noticed a few things. In the beginning the earnings are really good for a couple months, they have higher payouts depending on the time of year, and the click through rates are much higher in the beginning. Over time all of these things change and in many cases depending on the topic of your website the changes in the earnings are so drastic that it does not make sense to even continue to use Google AdSense as a primary income stream. As a matter fact you might want to consider removing AdSense all together in order to find new ways to make money with your blog or website.
So Whats The Cause Of These Changes?
Ad Inventory: The most obvious reason for the drop in earnings is that the ad inventory for AdSense has gone down, when the economy took a turn for the worst so did the Ad rates and not just for AdSense but for all Ad Networks across the board. Advertisers have much smaller budgets to work with thus Google AdSense has to lower there rates, now of course there are some exceptions to the rule such has the health industry and few other markets that still have healthy ad payouts but they are few and far between. I can tell you from personal experience working in the music industry that music and entertainment related websites and blogs are not making much from AdSense, last year my hip hop blog was making a full time income and this year even with more traffic the site isn’t even making half what it made last year. In fact AdSense has become a third tier income stream for that site.
Ad Formats and Placements: Believe it or not this plays a major part in how well Google AdSense performs on your website, depending on your site design and what ad formats you use, it will directly affect how much money you will make. The best way to figure out which site design, ad formats and positions will perform the best. I suggest you setup three different variations of your website (Designs), run each different design with different ad formats and ad positions. Run each variation for at least a week depending on your traffic, if you have a high traffic website you can make it less than a week. This is split testing in it’s simplest form. To know exactly what your visitors are interacting with on your website I suggest you check out CrazyEgg, it’s a really sick analytic tool that gives you a visual view of your website with a heat map overlay that shows exactly where your visitors and their mouses went and where they didn’t go.
ImageSpaceMedia.com Make Money From The Images On Your Site
Update: PicAdMedia.com is now ImageSpaceMedia.com, so when you click on the links it will redirect you to that site.
Even though sites like Youtube stream 1.2 billion videos per day it still pales in comparison to how many images are viewed on the web daily, yet there is still no company to successfully monetize images. Of course sites like IstockPhoto and ShutterStock make millions from selling images but that business model only works for a few. Websites, blogs and social sites with millions of images can’t benefit from that business model. This is where in-image/in-picture advertising comes in, which is an idea that works similar in-video advertising where an overlay ad is placed on top of the image. Now the concept of making money from images by means of In-Picture Advertising is not a new thing, BritePic (A product of Adbrite) was one of the first services to offer a monetization model for images but the model’s possible success was hindered by the inconvenient method of implementing the ads into your images.The idea is that you would have to log into BritePic or Adbrite and manually ad your images which would return a embed code for you to place on your website. The problem here is that the code is javascript and it generates a flash version of your image, this means Google or any other search engine would not be able to pick up those images which means less traffic and if you have a website with allot of images your already aware that a significant percentage of your traffic is accredited to the images on your site. Secondly this is a time consuming method not to mention that all the images already on your site will not benefit from the method.
Introducing PicAdMedia
About a month ago I received a email from someone over at PicAdMedia inviting me to a private Beta testing of there new In-Picture Advertising service, as soon as I saw “In Picture Advertising” I remembered BritePic and I deleted the email. For about 3 weeks from time to time I continued to receive emails from them, they eventually wore me down so before I decided on adding them to the spam list I went to check there service out. After signing up and checking out the dashboard I quickly realized that the method by which they place the ads on websites was completely different from BritePic’s and adheres to standards of web usability. I decided to test out the service on my hip hop music blog HipHopMusicDotCom since it had the most images on it.
