At the start of my internet marketing carrier I was building my sites with articles from article directories. Those articles have been already published on thousands of sites. In first few days I got few visitors from SE and than Google marked my site as duplicated and my traffic disappered. All of my time I spent on designing, link building was wasted.

I have been working quite hard in April. I built one new site, wrote few posts on this blog, made many link exchanges, joined in few new ad networks… I can see benefits of this hard work - traffic on all of my site are growing fast. Now it is time to calculate how much have I earned in April.

AdSense - $44.91
Text-Link-Ads - $83.69
Paypopup - $2.06
AdBrite - $0.23
Kontera - $0.52
Local Ad Networks - $13.26

Total - $144.67 or $4.82 per day

Directory submition is one of the best link building methods. It is free, easy and you don’t have to spam your website with links. But it takes a lot of time and many of your links stay unapproved.

The easiest way to avoid dead directories is submiting to new directories. Many webmasters spend a lot of hours with their new directory, but after some time they start working on other sites and there is no time for directory.

It is easy to find new directories on webmaster forums. My favourit place to find new directories is DigitalPoint.

I wrote about make money methods in previous post and today I’ll show you some more ways to make money.

1. Affiliate marketing
In affiliate marketing you put ads on your website and you are paid every time somebody you have reffered to webshop buy something. In the most cases you get from 4-75% commission but in other cases you get fixed amout of money per sale. The easies way to start with affiliate marketing is to join to one of the affiliate networks:

• CJ.com
• ClickBank

2. Direct banner sales
Direct banner sales is great way to make money. You can cut out middleman commissions and make prices more affordable for advertisers. But you have to have lots of traffic and great marketing skills to get advertisers.

3. Paid Surveys and Polls
There are companies which pay for running polls and small surveys. The most popular service is called Vizu.

4. Donations
If you have great community which is aware of your hardworking and have lots of benefits from you content you can put small Donation button on you website.

5. Selling an eBook
Many bloggers rewrite thier post in eBook and sell it online. EBooks are great for readers because it is easier to read book than searching all over the blog to find all useful posts.

1. PPC Advertising
PPC advertising is one of the most popular methods to make money from your website. How does it work? You join one of the PPC network and than you put simple javascript code in HTML of your website. This code can show image banner, in-content links(Kontera) or text banner(AdSense, AdBrite…). You get paid everytime your visitor click on banner or link.

2. CPM Advertising
CPM means cost per 1,000 impressions. You get few bucks for every 1,000 impressions of banner or popup/popunder. You’ll get about $0.5 - $2 per 1,000 impressions. CPM advertising is popular mostly with entertiment websites which has low CTR and a lot of impressions. CPM program I use is Paypopup.

3. Paid reviews
Paid reviews are popular with bloggers. I don’t have much experiences with paid reviews, but some bloggers get upto $500 per post. The most popular review service is ReviewMe.

4. Text link sales
Text link sales is one of my favourit methods. Link buying is the easiest way to get more link popularity and many webmasters are doing it. I use Text link ads and TNX.net.

Business Blogging by ProBlogger
In the afternoon I was surfing all over the web and I found great post about business blogging. Blog can be extremly useful for your business if you use it right. You must not have your blog only for promoting your products because your blog will get almost no traffic and you won’t have any benefits from it. You should share useful tips about products you sell.

There are days we have time and energy to write blog post, but we simply don’t know what to write about. So, I have decided to write few ways how to get inspiration for blog post.

1. Subscribe to blogs in your niche
When I don’t know what to write about I go to one of the major blogs in my niche(ProBlogger, DailyBlogTips and others). Than I go in archive section and read some posts which have been written about a year ago. When I find something interesting I think for a while about this topic and write post about it.

2. Write speedlinking post
You can go to your RSS reader filled with blogs in your niche and read some posts. When you find something useful you can write short review about this post and link to it. An example of speed linking post can be found HERE.

3. Write ‘miscellaneous post’
If you have a lot of things to tell but they don’t deserve whole post just put them together in one post. Example of miscellaneous post can be found HERE.

4. Write about goals
Write something about what you want to reach with your blog, how do you see it in future. Readers wants to know what will happen with their favourit blog.

5. Put down you ideas
Buy yourself a notebook and when you get an idea for blog post topic just put it down in it. You’ll be glad you had done that when you will run out of ideas.
