Affiliate Teaching Website

Well I mentioned affiliate marketing in a previous post and I've done a little (and I do mean a little) research into this. What I've found is it's like everything else when it comes to making money online, there is a lot of information mixed in with a lot of scams. Also, many sites have huge headlines that really make you believe help is found when it is really a place only to pad their wallets. It seems no matter what field you look in online, there is that to be found. But that shouldn't scare you away from it, it should just make you work that much harder to find the ways to make money online.
In that searching, I believe I may have found a site that is going to be helpful in the area of affiliate marketing. The site is called affiliateteachings.com. It looks to be free and full of information, although I haven't sifted through all of the information so I really can't tell you if it's valuable or not. One thing I have noticed about the site, is that it seems to assume that if a person is into real blogging and affiliate marketing, they are doing so with WordPress. I may be missing something by sticking with the original blogger.com, and I'm going to look into this area as well, but for now that's what I have for you. A new website that I'm not sure whether it is good or not.
I know that doesn't help you much, but over the next few days I'm really going to be digging into the site. I'll let you know what I find. Hope you succeed in your search to make money online. Don't forget, Thursday (Lord willing) I plan to have posted which areas made the most with the least amount of time over the month of March. Let me know what you think and tell me what to fix and I'll share it with everyone :). Good luck. C ya!

My System

I know you have all been sitting at your computer screens hitting refresh over and over just waiting to here this blogger's time management, money making method (when you stop laughing, continue reading), so I'm posting it. I can honestly say, as I've said already, I'm overwhelmed with all the different methods and avenues to make money online. I've tried everything I know of as of right now, and I'm working in many different areas, but what I'm trying to do now is space it out throughout the week to make my efforts more efficient. What I have found myself doing is spending all my time in one area or another, focussing completely on that one subject matter which in turn caused me to neglect the others. This would be ok if I made enough in one area to make all these efforts worth while, but that is just simply not the case.
This is basically how I want to try and start doing things in the internet money making field starting next week (and I put a "Lord willing" on this and everything in my life). I would like to spend around 30 minutes/day on my favorite Get Paid To site SimpleGPT. I would then like to take about 30 minutes for blogging, which includes reading other blogs, commenting, "connecting", etc. My last 30 minutes of "work" when it comes to making money online will be my "R&D" time. This is where I hope to truly dedicate some time and effort in learning new ways, plans/formulas to make money online. I hope to find good sites during this time with good info, and really take my time to learn it and also apply it correctly.
I'm hoping that in the month of April I will have made at least $250 by doing this system. That will roughly work out to around $8.30/hr. Yeah, I know, not that great. But I'm still in the "laying my foundation" stage in this field, so I hope to get better with time. Thanks for checking out my blog. If you're an expert, please feel free to steer me in the right direction. Until next time, c ya!

March is Almost Over

I mentioned a few posts back that I was using March as a "test" month. I've been working some on SimpleGPT, blogging, doing research on other methods of making money online for free and my wife has been working on ebay. I'm working on a system (all with the Lord's help) of how much time to spend where, what to work on when, and so on and so on. I believe I've got it pretty much worked out for now until I learn more and work in different areas. When I say worked out, I mean I've gotten to the place where I realize that I'm not going to learn this in a week, but it's going to take time to learn how to make money online for free, so I'm getting better at time management. The month is officially over next Wednesday. Next Thursday I plan to post on what I've made in each area of internet money making.
However, sometime today or maybe tomorrow I would like to post about my system that I've worked on (again from lots of desperate praying) and see what you think. That way all of you can tell me everything that I'm doing wrong. I really am teachable so all of you out there that know what you are doing in this area, drop me a line, leave me a comment (or say a prayer for my sanity), but definitely help me out somehow. Stay tuned, I'll be posting the "Money on the Net" money making, learning/researching, raking in cash and make money online for free system soon; I know your dying to pick my mind (ha ha ha ha).

Quick Post About Xomba

Ok, I know I already mentioned this site I believe a few posts ago, I had to mention it again real quick. The site is xomba.com. It is a site where you can post an article or a link to another website, video, etc. You get paid just the same you do with blogging, through adsense. But that's not the main reason I'm blogging about it right now. You can make money online with xomba, but the fact is, it's just a great site.
There are thousands of articles on almost any subject matter you can think of. I have enjoyed reading the articles and have posted two myself. If you would like to sign up with them, in order to make money online with xomba, you can do so through my referral link by click here. But if you just want to check the site out it's @ www.xomba.com. Check it out, and no you won't be dissapointed.

2 More Money Making Ideas-Do They Work? IDK

Hello all you internet money makers. Hope your week is going well. My search continues for that elusive money on the world wide web. But it's out there and I am determined to find it. Just wanted to update you on a few things I did come across today while searching.
The first is a book that has evidently been out for quite some time. It's entitled "20 ways to make $100 per day online." I do not have the book, and I can honestly say I really do not know what all it contains. What I do know is this, I have yet to find a bad review of it. The book idea is this, it's 20 different authors who have each written a chapter in the book, detailing their ways of internet money making. From the reviews I have watched and read, it seems that any of these ways, if implented and worked on with dedication and determination will earn you $100/day! To me, it sounds a lot like all of the other crazy deals out there which never work, but I haven't read it or tried it yet so I wouldn't know. I'll update you if that ever changes however. It would be nice to know 20 ways to make $100 per day online, that's for sure.
The other bit of researching I've been looking into somewhat today is affiliate marketing. I really have no idea what it is about in full, just know that people make money at it. I found a site that really helps you out according to one of its members. They have great tools, great templates and great customer service, but they also cost around $40/month. So for now (unless the heavens open up and the Lord says to sign up) I think I'll stick with my own research (and then my venting on this blog when it doesn't work).
One day I'll be one of those experts writing my own book or article about how to make money online, but until then I'm humbly your Internet Money Seeker. To find those two ideas online just click on either of the following links(Affiliate Marketing20 ways. Hope your internet money search is going better than my own, but I'm going to keep looking. Until next time...c ya!

I'm a Lost Tourist Deer in the Headlights

What a title right? Well, let me see if I can explain it. Have you ever seen tourists walking around, looking at their little maps, staring up at all the building walls as if the answer to whatever they're looking for is just going to fly out of one of the windows? If you're truthful, you would probably say you have been one of those tourists before. We all hate that feeling, the feeling of being lost, confused and a little bewildered; that "lost in the headlights" feeling.
Well, that's exactly the way I feel right now. I've been at it for months, looking for different ways to make money online. I've looked on the paid to click sites, I've done the paid surveys, I've tried blogging and now ebay. And I have to tell you, I have no idea what the best way is to make money online. It's almost overwhelming! It seems that every 2-3 days I'm making money with one method better than the others, and I get excited and post about how awesome that way is. Then, in a day or two, that begins to fizzle and I look somewhere else.
I'm lost in a sea of money making ideas, but I'm not going to become discouraged, I'm going to stay at it. We have made good money on ebay over the last week, and I'm starting to see the paid to clicks pick back up again. Our goal we are setting right now is $200/month between everything. It is a very reasonable goal and one that it looks as if we will definitely make this month (all with the Lord's help of course). I'm still searching, and I'm very glad that I didn't make this blog as an expert telling beginners how to make money online! Hope my journey interests you (if nothing else, you should be able to get a good laugh out of all of my mistakes).
Stay tuned in, and let me know if you have some ideas. Leave a link to your blog if you are an internet money maker, I would love to read your posts.

Ebay

Ok, I know everybody knows about this already, but ebay is the best way I have found to make money online. In case this is the first post you have read on this blog, I have been searching for ways to make money online. I've been working in paid to clicks, surveys, blogging, article writing and now my wife has started up on ebay. Her auctions have been up for six days now and we have around $96 waiting to be paid. I know this is not my "religous" blog, but hallelujah! God is good!
What I would suggest you do to start out would be obviously make an account. Then I would go through your house and find anything that you no longer use. Maybe an old cell phone or palm pilot; maybe some old clothes. Whatever it is take good pictures of it, write good descriptions, and be ready to answer any questions via email. Then, just sit back and wait.
Check out yard sales and consignment shops to replenish your online store each week and this should be an easy way to make a little extra money while online. Hope this works for you. Let me know what happens. Until next time!

What's the Best?

There are so many different ways to make money online. I have found a few, and to be honest, I don't know which direction I'm heading in as far as focusing on one area. So I thought, why don't I ask my readers (all 2 of you ha ha).

So here's my question: What is your favorite way to make money online?


I'm interested in all things that are legal, moral and wouldn't consume all of my time. I know there are some good ideas out there besides the ones I have found. I also know that there are better ways of doing the things that I have come across, so any and all info is welcome. Just leave a comment and let me know what you think is the best way to make that money online.

Paid to Post

The next way that I've found on the world wide web to make money, is to be paid to post articles. There are many sites on the internet that will pay you to post articles on the subject you are passionate about. I have to admit, I've only signed up for two so far and only made 1 post, but it seems to be a way that many people make money.
All of these sites are different. Some have articles already written, and they are looking for bloggers who will post these articles to their site. Other sites allow you to post your own article on their site, and you get paid for the amount of Google Adsense clicks you receive. There are also sites that you submit your blog to for review. Advertisers are able to find your blog based on your keywords and description. If they like your posts, and you get enough traffic, they will send you opportunities to review their site/product on your site. From what I understand, you make anything between $1-$100 per post. The more traffic you receive to your site will determine how much you make per post as well as how many offers you receive.
Writing articles online for pay seems to be a well known way of making money online. I hope this helps you on your journey of making money online. Here is a list of some sites that you can post for pay:

PayperPost
Review Me
Sponsored Reviews
Loud Launch
Blogitive

Later we will look at a very well known way of making money online: making money online with ebay! I've learned a lot in this area in the last few days. Hope to share it with you soon. Again, all you experts out there, if you read my blog and find something I'm doing wrong, please CORRECT ME!!! I am a learning internet money maker, so teach me.

Treasure Trooper: Definite Thumbs Down

Ok, treasuretrooper used to be my favorite GPT site, I will admit. But once I found SimpleGPT, I pretty much fogot all about treasure. I went back to check it out again yesterday because I knew I had over the $20 limit in my account. I was going to have that cashed out in my PayPal only to find out that treasure doesn't count your daily clicks toward your withdrawl minimum. How crazy is that? You can click away and make good money, but if you want that money you must do other offers.
That's just weird to me. I still like the site overall, and if you're going to stick with just this site it will be worth it; but it's just a little aggravating to say the least. I mean, how are people supposed to find legitimate work at home jobs if these type of issues keep arising. Their guard is already up with all of the work from home scams going around.
Again, I like the site, but SimpleGPT blows them out of the water. Hope this helps you out in your money making search.

Blogging: Keywords

One day, I hope to be on the other end of the spectrum. I would hope that one day I am a successful internet money maker and I am finding the "little" people like I am now to help them on their journey, but until then this little blog will be dedicated to the search. The search to find ways to make money on the internet.
What have I found out about blogging? Well, I found out that I don't know anything! I have been doing research in the area of blogging and I have to tell you, I am overwhelmed. I have read about SEO & keywords. I've researched paid to post sites and blogdatabases. I'm learning quite a bit, but I'm still unsure as to how to put it into action. Well let me share with you a little of what I've learned so far.
'Sigh'...here goes. Let's talk about keywords (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Keywords are vital it seems, if you want to direct traffic to your site. But the key is finding the right keywords. The keywords or keyword phrases that you choose will determine the people that find your site.
Once you have a blog or post in mind, go to this Wordtracker site. Type a keyword into the search bar and click hit me. You will find your keyword in different phrases. I am told that you do not want to select a keyword phrase that has a Wordtracker score of less than 40.
Once you have your keyword phrase you go to google. Type the exact phrase into the search engine and see how many hits you generate. This will be your actual competition. Divide the number of hits generated by the score on wordtracker. If your ratio is 1000:1 or less, this is a good keyword phrase to use.
Disperse it throughout your post and see what happens. Between the sites I've researched, this is what I've learned. I hope this works for you. Try it out and let me know how it does. I'm not an expert (yet), but I'll keep posting things I learn as time goes on for all you who are just starting their journey, just like me.

Simple GPT: Another Benefit

I know I'm in the middle of posting about new ways to make money, but I couldn't wait around to post this. You have heard how much I love SimpleGPT. It is the best GPT site that I have found. Well, it just got even better. You can now cash out at $1. Those of you in the GPT world already know that they had one of the lowest cash out levels around with $5, but now it's even lower.
I want to post some how-to's on the topic of GPT's sometime in the future, but until then take a look at SimpleGPT, and check out their chat on the left side of the screen. There are plenty of members that are extremely friendly and helpful and they will set you in the right direction.

Blogging and Article Writing

Ok, one of the ways I have found to make some extra money online is to blog, which is what I'm doing here. Google Adsense is the way a lot of bloggers make money online and it is what I'm working with now. I can tell you that as of right now, I've made a whole $.74! But I truly believe this is about to increase. The major issue as I understand it, is that you have to increase traffic to your site. I'm learning the tricks of the trade when it comes to SEO or Search Engine Optimization. There are a lot of things in this topic that I have no idea about, but I'm learning.
I told you that over the next few days I'm going to be posting the new ways I have found to make money online, let me clarify that just a little. I want to focus on blogging and writing articles, but I would like to post daily on the things I've learned in this area. If there are any other bloggers out there who use Google Adsense with their blogs or maybe just blog for fun and are welled acquainted with SEO world, please leave me a comment and let me know what I'm doing right or what I could do better over the next few days. You can leave a link to your blog to increase traffic as well if you would like to.
Also, at the beginning of the month I would like to do a "look back" over the previous month and take a look at which ways were the best in the "ways to make easy money online" test. That way the more I learn, the more you do as well.
Thanks for reading and keep watching. Tomorrow we will talk about some of the things I've learned about SEO. Until then, c ya!

New Money Making Ways

It's been a while since I posted last, but I've been learning a little since my last post. I've got some new ways to make a little extra cash. Over the next few days, I'm going to try and post about those news ways. I would like to know what you think.
As far as GPT sites go, I'm still loving SimpleGPT. But there are new ways I've come across, easy ways to make money. Not quick, but easy. Please check in for at least the next few days and let me know what you think.
