Blogs are very popular. And I believe that they will be for quite a long time. Many people are making money from their blogs. You can too!
I personally am not a big fan of Google Adsense. I've been using it 2 or 3 years now. Everywhere you look online, you will see Google Adsense ads all over the place. A lot of free blogging places have it set up so you get half of your Adsense clicks and they get half. At that rate, you will be looking at 2 or 3 years or more before you ever see a check from Google Adsense. Even if you got 100% of your clicks, you are still looking at 2 years or more. I hate to say it, but it's true. The payout is extremely low. There will be days or weeks that you will not get any clicks at all. And you will not make any money.
In my opinion, Google is getting out of control anyhow. They are attempting to monopolize the internet. They just got finished penalizing anyone that attempted to make money from Pay Per Post. They knocked all of their page ranks way down. Why? Because God Forbid anyone tries to make any money from anybody other than Google.
I recently started trying out AuctionAds. I am really pleased with the results I am getting from it. Plus, it's a really great service. Basically, you show Ebay ads on your blog. Or website. You can show just one or more. They don't have any type of limit. Plus, they don't go against Google Adsense if you are using that on your blog/website either.
When you register, you are able to select what type of auctions you want displayed on your blog/website. You enter the keywords you want. I had it set up within ten minutes. AuctionAds seems like a really nice and fair program. Plus, it helps me see new auctions that I may be interested in.
I've heard from other blog owners that they are seeing an income from AuctionAds. It's definitely worth trying out.
There are several types of sizes you can get with AuctionAds. You can get buttons or banners that display the different auctions. From 125 x 125 and up. You can make it work with just about any blog. Blog about kids? Display kid related items. Blog about women? Display women's clothing and health and beauty.
So far, the only problem I have had is making it work with Vox. For all of my other blogs, it works fine.
AuctionAds is completely free to
you. Ebay is a great place for frugal people like me to get some great
stuff. I love the deals on Ebay, so I love to show their ads. Monetize
your blog.
Experienced content writer needed. The pay is hourly $10 an hour.
New, up and coming sports satire/humor website is looking for talented, creative writers!
We are looking for motivated, creative people to be the first original writers for a new sports parody/satire/humor site. Individuals seeking to have their writing published, earn extra income, and have their sense of style and humor known should apply!
Currently, *any* and *all* sports are available, from American Football to Volleyball, even Bocce Ball or Ultimate Frisbee for all we care!
Have you wanted to write something about sports, but analysts and sports writers have always gotten to the subject first? Has your sense of humor always been somewhat dry, maybe even silly?
If sports is your passion, and humor is your outlet, then send us an email. We are an up and coming site that caters to sports humor, sports lovers and even sports seriousness, at times.
Here’s your incentive: You will not be writing for free. Most other opportunities like this require you to spend time and effort on your writing, for nothing in return.
Here is our offer: We will pay you 50% of the advertising revenue that your article produces. We’ll repeat that. You get half of the advertising money that your writing generates! We do not believe that creative output should be free for just the sake of exposure. We offer both exposure, and income generation on every piece you write!
We offer the medium for you to write something funny about your favorite sport(s), and you provide viewers with satirical posts about the sport of your choosing.
If you have a writing resume, please feel free to include it. This is NOT necessary. We are merely looking for people with a modicum of writing skill, who have the necessary punctuation and grammar to write in a field of satirical journalism.
Email all correspondence to jobs@twsbusiness.com. Please provide your name, current residential address, primary email address, and phone number.
If you have written in the past, anything at all, feel free to include a sample of your work, or direct links/copies of your writing, as well as any writing jobs you have held!
Email To: jobs@twsbusiness.com
