Here's a great new tool that just came to my attention from the great team over at Smartlab Software.
Its a nice simple and easy tool that can check the whois registry fast and tell you if a domain is available or previously registered.
The tool can be found under the Smart Lab Software Website Tools section. This specifically is in the Tools Category and titled Whois - domain research.
Its very fast and very simple and worth bookmarking!
This week I've been doing just a little bit of work to field a new writing service from AC (think Associated Press but for the blogger masses).
They will pay you for article submissions and pay you more or less depending on whether you grant them full rights to the article.
I submitted my first article about 36 hours ago and am still awaiting approval. They say it takes anywhere from 1-5 days. So we will see where it goes. It was not a unique article, instead it was one that I had also posted on my blog under a slightly different title "Sony Deals Self a Cyber-Shot in the Foot."
I do like the idea of getting paid for an article that I have already published and look forward to going back through some of my older articles that have stood the test of time and giving them new life in a republished format through AC .
Well I'd project that I am going to make about $6 from MyLots for the month of November. It was a partial month and I only put in a little bit of time.
Today MyLot upgraded their algorithm which is supposed to increase the amount of earnings that are paid to people that provide quality postings so I am hopeful of seeing an increase in my earnings as I always give the good stuff.
The real benefit I have recieved from MyLot has been in generating ideas. Those ideas have earned me about 10 times as much money (again for just a few hours of work and that's money I would not have seen otherwise).
So for a few hours, I'm netting around $60 give or take $5. That's close to $10 per hour for marginal hours that would have been spent in front of the boob tube and that instead are promoting my business, brand, writing and more!
Ebates is a service that I came across today. I heard about them a long time ago, but never had a chance to investigate more thoroughly. I finally got around to looking into their business model today.
Ebates provides consumers like yourselves with an interesting method of receiving additional rebates from your online purchases.
Ebates has established a system where they provide coupons to their members. They simply provide a portion of the affiliate commission to the shopper in the form of a rebate that the Etailer is paying to Ebates.
Its real simple!
Affiliate commissions have been around since before the internet was invented. The technology just makes it easier to track and provide access to the masses via cookies and software that Ebates utilizes to insure that the sales are legitimately accounted for in their own affiliate commission.
I have been deep into my laptop today, writing for a new freelance writing service and testing things out overall.
I like the concept of the service as they have a combination written, audio, and video content monetization platform. Plus, its not a review site where you write about the topics they hand you from sponsors, instead they are looking for unique content written about anything that you find interesting.
The downside is that the articles don't get published on your site, you get paid up front and then they market your writing to the highest bidder where ever that might be.
This is overall very similar to a blog directory that I have written for in the past, but that directory does not pay you for any of your articles, just delivers up a little more recognition, circulation and traffic through links in your profile.
So its a good way to get more exposure for my writing and for my name and I do get the benefit of promoting my writing profile which includes links back to my website and two of my blogs.
For anyone interested on investigating the service, you can find out more with my personal invitation. I've only written my first article for them today, and have no earned any money yet nor been paid in actual cash.
I am not endorsing them yet. I'll save that for the day when I get the first PayPal Payment!
OK, I wanted to give my readers an update about MyLot .
First, if you missed my original article on it, MyLot is a forum that pays you for your contributions to the forum in regards to the content you provide including:
Basically, MyLot recognizes that forums earn money from the people that write and talk to each other in them. Instead of keeping that money for themselves, they share it with the people using the service.
This is a lot like Adsense, if MyLot earns money from Adsense they have an algorithm that attributes a portion of the earnings from the page that generated it to the people involved in the content submission on that page.
I have not been as active as I intended on the site as I have been traveling, but I have earned over $4 there in the last couple weeks. Its not a lot of money, but its better than nothing and the site has proven to be an excellent source for ideas. I've broken through writers block there at least a half dozen times such that I could write articles for a number of other sites, that have earned me several hundred dollars.
I look at it as a service that helps give me ideas and tips me on the way out the door!
Let's face it Web Graphics are worth their weight in gold. OK, well they are weightless so they are actually worth a lot more!
If you want your site and articles to capture the attention of your readers and turn those eyeballs into dollars then you are probably going to need to learn how to use
some great graphics incorporated into your site.
I'm running a special promotion on Creating Web Graphics for Dummies. The price is only $17.84 through the Softduit Store.
That's over $7 off the price at Amazon!
(check it out at Amazon yourself and see its $24.99 Creating Web Graphics for Dummies
About two weeks ago, I started using a new website to help promote my blog articles, blog sites and websites. The service is a website that brings people together to host a discussion forum.
The basic concept is that if you strike up a conversation on their website, you are generating content for them and they earn money from content. They don't pocket the money totally for themselves. Instead they share some of their earnings from the page with your content directly with you via PayPal.
You can in effect strike up conversations with other people from around the world and get paid for the conversation.
Talking to people in discussion forums of any type are a great source for promoting your articles individually or your site in total. This forum happens to pay you at the same time!
You can sign up for the service for free with this invitation from Adsense for Idiots.
The site does not calculate your earnings in real time. Instead earnings are calculated every 24 hours and displayed on your profile. You can earn money from the content you write, from pictures you upload, from tagging your discussions and from generating or spurring on a conversation that motivates people to respond. The more responses, the more visitors to that conversation and hence the more earnings to share between the service and yourself!
have dreams of writing your own novel? Don't want to do it for free?
Do you want to attract and keep readers?
I'm going to walk through a few tips on the topic of Novel writing. This will be the first in the series
I've seen many other blog writers write up a book on a blog. They are often very difficult to read. Not because the writing is bad, but because the chapter structure of a book doesn't work well with a blog. The nature of a blog lists the chapters in order of the most recent submission.
Here's a suggestion to help your new readers get acquainted with your writing in the proper sequence.
Alternatively, and probably even better, take this same code and put it manually in the top of your sidebar! This might be better if you write other things in your blog beside the chapters for your novel.
If you have multiple novels, create a different section with TOC for each book, and if you are good with coding write it such that the TOC toggles away (expands or contracts as necessary.)
Here's a great way to monetize your feed!
That's right many people don't fully appreciate the power of a feed. They look at a feed a way for a reader to read your content without having to go to your site and possibly earn you some money through your sponsors or other programs.
This is partly true and partly false. First, it is a convenience that you offer to your customers the reader. Second, they may not always have the time to come to your website, so providing this convenience allows them to stay in touch with your work and keep your site relevant and necessary for them.
Three, it is possible to monetize your feed, even through feedburner with Adsense! Just like in your blog or website, you can insert Adsense code into your feed. The feed if generating full html will then insert your adsense code on the destination website that the person is looking at after every few articles (usually 3-5 articles with an adsense section dropped in)
Typically I recommend a box style adsense section as opposed to a skyscraper which can mess up the code.
Now that you know its possible, check back in one of my future articles (within an article or three from now) and I'll walk you through the processes of inserting Adsense into a blogger feed, into other hard coded feeds, and even how to include adsense for search boxes into your feeds!
Every now and then it happens to everyone, you accidentally click on an Adsense ad on your own website.
Its against the Terms of Service to click on your own ads and if you are caught (Google is very good at catching people eventually) you will lose your Adsense account and any accumulated money in that account.
If you happen to be on your website and the mouse slips and you accidentally click an ad, Report Yourself immediately.
Very professionally report to Google that on the date in question and the site in question (provide the URL) you believe that you accidentally clicked on your own ad and would like that particular click noted and removed by Google from your Adsense earnings.
Similarly, if you see a trend in your Adsense clicks and it appears that a visitor to your website is inappropriately clicking on your ads over and over, you may want to provide Google an email pointing out the issue such that they can potentially blog the click through results for that person IP address.
You can find more information on contacting google at their Help Center.
You can also email them directly with this address adsense-abuse@google.com
Accidents happen to everyone, just be open and honest with Google so that they can protect their own reputation and their advertisers money.
I was recently asked the Question, What is a site feed?
My reply:
A site feed is an XML script that processes yoru blog or webpage and prepares it for syndication. This basically means that it pulls the content up in a way that it can generically be 'fed' or pushed across the internet and viewed by a reader in a location that is not your website.
This can be very good for your readers that do not have time to surf to your web page every day. Its possible for them to read your articles as you post them through their favorite feed reader, or on MyYahoo or Googe pages, or even in Outlook.
www.feedburner.com is the largest feed creator on the internet and provides a free level service that can help you learn how to benefit from a feed.
If you have a blogger blog, you automatically get an atom feed in the dashboard setup area. You'll need this (it looks like a link) and with it you can go to feedburner and paste it in and they will help you make the feed process pretty easy after that!

I'd like to highlight some great ways to refer traffic to your blog. If you have a new blog this is also a great way to get exposure to other blogs and get some ideas about how you want to refine and develop your blog.
Here is a small sample list of Blog surfing exchanges from our partners site, Softduit Partners:
A surf exchange gives you credits for every blog that you surf through on the internet. You can then exchange that credit to the system to generate a referral that will send other blog surfers directly to your blog.
If you build a good blog and write some great content, you may even convince those visitors to sign up for a subscription to your site and thus earn a repeat customer!
For more information on surf exchanges and for a full list, check out Softduit blog surfing exchanges.
Its been several weeks since we highlighted our step by step process for setting up a brand new blog with a brand new adsense account.
Let me take a second to orientate you to Adsense for Idiots.
You will notice a large bar towards the top of this blog just below the title.
It states 'Get targeted ads on your website with Google Adsense'.
If you click that button, you can begin the short process necessary to sign up for Google's adsense program.
Basically how it works is you copy and paste some code from Google's site and put it on your blog.
Google signs up advertisers that want to advertise on many sites and blogs. When a person views your blog from a browser the code you pasted will trigger a Google ad to appear from their advertiser.
If that visitor browsing your sight, mouse clicks on that had, YOU MAKE MONEY!
It is as simple as that. You can click the button to start the sign up process and if you need help along the way check out our Setup Adsense Steps Part 1 and part 2 just below the button. These will also walk you through the process just in case you get a little lost or disorientated along the way.
No problem, the same steps can guide you through the process of setting up a free website so that you can put adsense advertisements on it and start making money right away!
It can take Google several business days to approve an account so its best if you act now to sign up so that Google will be ready for you, when you are ready to start receiving checks from Google.
You may want to bookmark a new internet marketing resource called NetResults, which is a newly launched website.
NetResults has created a internet marketing blog hoping to pool the efforts of multiple people in a group blog. They will cover topics that will vary from Web 2.0 to Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and to general internet marketing topics.
If you are interested in writing on occassion with NetResults or occassionaly submit an article to them for posting they can be reached by email from their website (thumbnail feature on the right). This is an excellent way to cross promote your own writing abilities and often times your own website or blog as well. It develops community, and introduces you to other people working in areas that might interest you.
They get to know you and you them and you might then follow each others writing. Sometimes group writing projects like this will also generate referral or reciprocal links. Sometimes these are in the content itself and sometimes in profiles on various pages of the website.
I'm bringing together my Podcast equipment and getting things organized.
It has proved a bit challenging but for the most part its coming together. I purchased a mixer that does not have a USB connection so that means I bring the sound in through the Microphone jack on the side of my computer.
I have a pair of dynamic microphones that plug in through line jacks on the mixer even though they have a three prong plug on the bottom of the actual microphone, I believe that's called an XLR connection but it goes to a line jack at the other end of the cord, so I can not yet benefit from the preamp built into the mixer. New cords will probably be an upgrade for another day.
I started running my first Adwords campaign a little over a week ago and it has been enlightening. I have worked with adsense for quite some time now and I had forgotten how confusing it seemed in the very beginning when I did not know anything about it.
With Adwords I at least understand how adsense works, but getting the campaigns setup and running have definitely been a challenge. I am finding that I am learning a great deal about Search Engine Optimization and keyword analysis. I thought I understood these fairly well until I launched my program with adwords.
Now I do think that Google's interface for adwords is a bit more complicated than it needs to be but mostly I am just learning the ropes.
Here are two great tools from Yahoo! that will help you with Google's adwords.
View Bids Tool from Overture (owned by Yahoo!)
Keyword Selector Tool from Overture
I've shared this in the past but wanted to push this information out to some of the new readers of the site.
Adsense for Idiots :) is managed by Softduit Partners and Softduit provides many different services that are free and can help bloggers promote their sites and learn additional ways to monetize their blog.
Softduit provides a Blog Revenue Tools page that walks through many different components that can be jointly executed on a blog or website to provide for multiple levels and paths of income streams on your website.
There are many other great sources of information on the Softduit site, which I'll specifically detail later, but you are free to explore them right away.
Adsense earnings sometimes feel a little bit like Monopoly money. This is partly because the earnings often times trickle in and then eventually build up and ultimately hit a critical mass where you realize, this is Fantastic!
To help you along a little bit, I'd like to reward you with a tip I picked up today. I came across this release from Orlando fun Tickets. They were talking about the discounts they can offer on Disney World Tickets which are not cheap even if you are an Adsene Guru.
You can get tickets for everything from Disney World to Arabian Nights and Medieval times and not waste the Adsense money you have spent so much time trying to earn!
I just learned of a situation on one of the Google groups. A person had deleted their blogger/blogspot blog and sometime after deleting it, went back in to the system to set it back up again and start over.
The name was gone and the URL was no longer available.
When an account is deleted, It does not become unusable.
In fact the blog name goes back into open circulation almost as soon as it is deleted.
In the situation I encountered, it even looked like someone had taken the URL and re-directed it to a parked domain to try and make some money off the former tennants traffic.
Its possible that redirecting to a parked domain is against the Google Blogger TOS.
Regardless it is very unusaul for a blogspot address. (For more information on domain parking and how you can earn money from this practice check out Softduit's Blog Revenue Tools Domain Parking is a legitimate business practice when its not abused.)
This particular blogger may be able to take the issue up with Google support to see if they can help.
For future readers, its important to recreate your blog again immediately after you delete it or else someone else may take it from you!
When I first setup my store, I basically went shopping for inventory like I was on a mad shopping spree, piling things into the basket (virtual shelves) and running around like nuts.
That's probably not the best way to do things as I've learned the hard way. When you set up your store take a methodical approach and focus on the best things and deals you see. I have just wrapped up a session where I re-organized and categorized my store so that it makes more sense. I started with cameras at my store.
These were some of the first products that went into the store.
I reorganized the Camera section to categorize things by brand and by Mega pixels. You have the option to assign a single product three categories, so if someone happens to browse into brands they will find cameras by brand and they will possibly find the same camera in the 8.0 megapixel section and in the generic Camera section.
Next up I need to organize my DVD's better!
If you are interested, I would be glad to help you with your own online store. You can set one up quickly and the rates start at $29.99 per month giving you full ecommerce capability. You can take your first order in 30 minutes after setting things up, and choose from 700,000 products to stock your store. I've set up this page to help anyone interested in the concept. I'm working on featuring the people that set up a store on several of my blogs. So make sure you let me know if you start your own store today!
OK, so let's say you've been blogging and blogging all year long and you've earned a nice little nest egg of money (don't tell me how much its against the Google TOS!)
You should consider taking a trip down to Florida to the tourist meca of the world. That's right I am talking about an Orlando vacation. You've got Disney World and Sea World and Discovery Cover and Bush Gardens and you name it. Great hotels and more. I just read the web release in the link above and learned the interesting fact that Orlando has more top rated golf courses within 40 minutes than anywhere else in Florida.
I used to live in Boca Raton and that surprises me even! It shouldn't though because whenever we went on vacation we went north to Orlando too. :)
Its the blogger general discussion Group.It doesn't have any capital letters on purpose, but this is a great group for lots of activity, knowledge and information on blogger and even on blogging in general ~ hence the name!
I write as a moderator in the group. Your first message will be moderated to insure that you are not an auto spammer. Once your first message is cleared you can communicate freely on the board.
Buttercup is the owner of the board and has done a great job of bringing together a very polite and helpful forum full of great information that will definitely help you with your blogging efforts!
The AdSense Help forum is a great forum to get a great deal of information on the Google Adsense program.
The group is broken down into multiple sections
All of these sub groups are excellent sources of information on many different topics. They can help you insure that you get the most out of your AdSense campaign. They can also help you so that you do not make a mistake that gets you into hotwater with AdSense.
I just realized that in my recent post Two more Great forums for Adsense I only included one forum! lol
Well its Friday. I meant to also cover a great new forum called
This is a new group and as such a great chance to meet some of the original people and help grow with the group. It already has some great promotion information on the group including links to some great blog directories to list your site in.
So check out this forum, join up and share your own experience and great ideas for promoting your website or blog. I look forward to seeing you there!
There are a number of great forums that can help you find ways to improve your website or blogHere is another great group to check out.
Blogger Review is a fantastic Blog review community. You submit your blog and request a review and wait for the members to give you your feedback. But don't be shy, go review the other sites in the groups yourself and talk about what you like and do not like. You may not be an expert but participating will help you learn and meet people that can visit your blog.
This is a very active group and sure to provide you some good information and traffic too.
It is possible in modern times to trade in stock options that in a way that allows you to protect your money.
Let's say that you are not sure if Microsoft's stock will go up or down, but you don't want to lose money. You've got principal that you have to have when you retire. You can use Stock Option investment strategies that essentially allow you to protect your money and your principle. Essentially, how it works is that you place a bet (stock option derivative) on both sides of the transaction.
You win if the stock goes up, and you lose. However, the two net out and you protect your investment principle.
If you want to take big risks, you can invest in options and leverage your investment, buying an option to buy a stock at a fraction of the actual cost of the stock. If the stock goes up, you have an option to buy that stock at your guaranteed lower price and immediately sell it at the new higher price.
So if you buy an option on Microsoft stock at $1 for an option to buy a share at $28 and the Share goes up to $30. You have $1 invested, you cash it in and get the share for $28 and immediately sell it for $30. You net $1 in profit and get your $1 principle back ($30 - 28 = $2)
A stock options newsletter is available that will help yoou start to learn the ins and outs of these transactions and how you can protect yourself or take big risks for a potentially big reward. These investments are risky if you do not know what you are doing, so do the research and get some good tools and advice.
PowerOptions recently provided a release describing their new SmarSearchXL. They provide investors with internet based data that can help identify the highest return option. Information about their tools and services are available in the newsletter as well.
There are lots of ways to generate a sponsor for your website or to find advertisers.
Today, I'm featureing one of my newest and most productive affilliate providers ShareASale. This is definitely an affilliate that you want to sign up with and review their merchants. Its important for any web business to look for multiple affilliate programs, don't cast just one seed and hope to harvest a crop.
Check out ShareASale and I'll feature another affilliate provider soon. (I'm only featuring affilliates that have earned me money!)
So you have a blog and or you have a website and maybe you've entered into the Online E-commerce world as well.
Your set to make money, but you need more traffic.
A great way to generate buzz and increase your page rank is to generate a little buzz through a program from Blogsvertise.
You get a number of benefits for working with Blogsvertise and these benefits keep on giving.
All of these things are good for your website and your web business.
WordPress cancelled a number of blogger accounts today on their freely hosted server space. Bloggers that make money from their WordPress hosted accounts are breaking the word press TOS.
WordPress cracks down like this every few months. The last large crack down I heard about was last July. They will provide their users with very short notice and delete the account from the database.
To my knowledge Blogger doesn't have any such problem with free blogs making money, partly because Google wants bloggers to use Adsense to make money, which makes Google money. Personally I don't think it really matter if someone is earning a few bucks from their blog?
here's what you have to do if you are on WordPress and fear a deletion
You can still use WordPress software on your own domain and host and then you will never have to worry about big brother WordPress deleting all of your hard work.

We write a great deal about many ways that you can benefit from monetizing and improving your website or blog. But don't just take it from us, when you go into business working with the internet you need to stay up on as many sources and concepts as possible.
The web is in a constant state of change and you never know when an idea that makes money is going to turn stale or be re-invented.
Check out E-Commerce ofr Dummies. It covers a number of other areas besides those focused on here in this blog.
If you Like this store, check out our tutorial of setting up your own online store in 30 minutes.
I've talked already about opening your own full fledged E-Commerce sight in less than 30 minutes with a complete line of products.
Today, I'd like to talk about the benefits of opening up a Cafe press shop. Cafe Press doesn't offer a complete assortment of products. Instead they let you pick a few simple products. You can then upload any pictures you like and those images or logos are put onto the products.
These typically go on coffee mugs, magnets, clothing including T-shirts and vests, if you want to do something risque even the occasional thong.
Similar to my previous article, all you have to do is sign up for an account. A Cafe Press account is Free!
Once signed up you can upload any images you like and then select the products that these will go on. Cafe Press handles everything else and they even allow you to use some of their promotion tools.
Amazon has recently expanded their Associates program to offer up a new concept. Website owners and blog owners or anyone can now create an Amazon AStore or AStore for short.
Basically, this is a store stocked with Amazon products. You define what goes in the store and what categories and you can pick the look and feel of the store.
Amazon does what Amazon does best. They get the product, price it, and ship it and you receive an associate commission on the sale.
Its free to setup with Amazon. The only down side is that you have no control over pricing the products in your store and essentially you are competing with the Customer's that might go directly to Amazon.
You benefit from the fact that your Astore is Amazon and you help your customers by keeping a focused little store with products that they won't have to search for at Amazon.
I'd definitely recommend it since its free. It can compliment your current activities and you can earn a little money on the side, but you won't receive the freedom and control of setting your own price, coupons campaigns and more. For a more advanced E-Commerce Activity, I'd recommend checking out our Guide to Setting up an Easy Online Store in 30 minutes.
Fighting spammy comments can be a big hassle, but its important not to harm your blog in your attempt to block the spam.
Installing Meta Tags in the header of your blog that block Search Engine robots from following hyperlinks on your blog, decreases the value your blog can provide to partner websites, blogs, companies that you like and Advertisers.
The nofollow tag in the header is very different in scope to the nofollow tags found in blog comments. In the header it warns off robots from following the links on your page to the other webpages. This means that if you have a link on your website and nofollow meta tags in the header, google will not give credit to the destination web page for having the link on your page.
If you exchange reciprocal links with a fellow blogger, and they have nofollow meta tags in the header and you do not, your link will increase the importance of their site, but theirs will not help you.
The nofollow tag issue can cause lots of havoc and confusion for bloggers and advertisers alike for obvious reasons.
There are many misconceptions that if a nofollow tag exists anywhere on a source page, such as in the comments, that it degrades the benefit of a reciprocal link. This is not true.
From an advertisers perspective, nofollow tags actually improve the value of an advertising article or press release. If an advertiser receives a write up along with a reciprocal contextual link in that write up, it will not necessarily serve their purpose or benefit the advertiser for that article to be followed by spammy comments, including links to the advertisers competitors or to a site that might be offensive to viewers.
The nofollow tag in the comments doesn't stop all comment spam, but does serve as disincentive for spam from an SEO and article hijacking perspective.
I utilize a meta tag in my blogs to push for the robots to follow tags as opposed to not follow :
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX,FOLLOW" />
I'm led to believe that having no Meta tag would work just the same, but sometimes I find it useful to point to this out to my advertiser sponsors. This enables the advertiser to explicity see the value they are receiving from a press release on my website.
A friend of mine at Google-Power tipped me off to a new service from Google. Its called Checkout and it allows people to use the power of Google to streamline their online shopping experience.
It can help to cover you for fraud protection. It will also help you track multiple orders from all across the web in one Googlized locations. Finally it can help you keep your email address confidential. You just need to look for stores that are setup as Google Checkout Stores.
To find out more and browse the google stores got to https://checkout.google.com/
As you are working to develop your blog or website, you will want to focus building out your site and monitoring how well it grows in the eyes of the Search Engines.
Some of my best blogs and websites receive over 60% of their traffic from search engines every day. The remaining traffic typically comes from repeat visitors. That search engine traffic allows me to make a good first impression and possibly bring the surfer back for more information or send them deeper in my site to additional pages. The deeper they go the more impressions I receive, the more potential I have to earn moeny from a PPC click.
You want to employ good landing strategies, and you want to improve your page rank and page strength. PageRank is a term used by Google to identify the importance of your website. The more important the higher in the search engine rankings your site or page might go.
I really like the PageStrength tool at SEOMOZ.org. It puts together a total score based on the weights that multiple Search Engines provide together, from yahoo to Alexa to Google and more.
I'd suggest you check your blogs page strength with the tool and then post the image code to display your sites strength so as to remind you to go back and check it as you improve the site.
Here is the PageStrength of Adsense for Idiots as of November 7, 2006. Notice this image is static and will not update on its own. You must go back to the site and manually check and update this image button yourself!
I received my Tapco Mix.100 Ultra-Compact 10-Channel Mixer earlier this week.
Later this week, I'm going to start getting my Studio assembled (Pictures to come). I've looked into running a Text to Speech program for the audio version of our blog and I've seen some promising tools, but like the idea of giving my readers my actual voice a spin and if nothing else making it a little easier to pick up on some trends from this blog.
As I do this, I'll walk you through the world of monetizing a Podcast with Adsense as well as with several other revenue generating models.
I can't wait to get started and I can't wait to expand out the reach of this blog to communicate with more people wherever they happen to be!
Now you may not be able to buy diamond earings with your Adsense money right from go. However, working at it you might be able to grow your website(s) or blog(s) into a revenue generating stream of businesses and eventually you might be able to afford diamonds afterall.
Primestyle might even be able to help you when you're ready. They provide princess cut diamond stud earrings and recently released a press release that helps to guide a diamond shopper in how to select not just the first glittery stone out of the display. Instead they focus on finding the right jewelry to match a persons look and personality. Their located in the diamond district of Manhattan and have many customer testimonials available to give you some perspective on whether or not they can solve your needs. At the end of the day Adsense may not make you rich over night. With some hard work, it just might make you some money to please that special person in your life.
I'm going to share with all of my readers a great way to get an Online E-commerce site up and running / Up And SELLING in 30 minutes!
You get full credit card processing capability(Visa, Mastercard, American Express or go the PayPal option), full shipping services through UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS even Canada Post!
But an online store doesn't do you any good if you don't have anything to sell.
This Plan gives you instant access to sell 4,000 products chosen from a catalogue of 700,000 products! You don't buy any inventory.
You sell on consignment! You set the margin, market the site, when a customer buys something, you get a direct deposit every month.
The deal is even better than it sounds. You don't have to store, pick, pack, wrap, or ship anything. You don't have to provide customer service or setup a toll free number. That's all covered too and ready to roll after you setup the account, which can be done very fast!
Sorry to drag out the details, I have all the information at my Softduit Site (Softduit sponsors this blog :). Don't worry, you don't have to download an e-book or anything. The information is self contained with diagrams and maps and everything you need to dig in and figure out how to start making money with your own store.
If nothing else, you can buy Christmas presents with your own self given discount code!
Oh, and I forgot you can setup the store with a Free 7 day trial. So set it up, get a feel for it and figure out if its right for you!
Here's the information site
If you want, send me a picture of your first check and I'll write an article about you, your store and your blog! Plus, I'm setting up a Store directory on Softduit. If you try this out, I'll let you list your store in the directory with a contextual description.
