Circumstances recently have mean't that it's time to take a new look at making extra money. <br />
<br />
However the landscape has changed a lot over the last few years.
So how are people making money online these days? Are they selling text links and sponsored posts on their site? Are they using contextual advertising to make their money or is through selling affiliate products?
<br />
<br />
I read an interesting article today that showed some of the <a href="http://www.profitablepaidsurveys.com/top-ten-ways-to-make-money-online-in-2012/">top ways to make money online in 2012</a>. Fantastic lets start with number one and see how we go.
<br />
<br />
Freelance Content Writing - the site mentions you can head along to iwriter.com so that is exactly what I did. Signed up right away. Its going to be interesting trying this one, as the money paid is quite low with the expectations are high. <br />
<br />

If you can get a page set up, and then get lots of people to like it the theory is that it can virally spawn off traffic as friends of friends see it and so on.<br /><br />I am running a small advert campaign from within facebook as well to send traffic to my main site and will report back on that in due course.<br /><br />Anyway I have just set up my page and only have a few likes on it right now. However if you have a page and want to do a "Like Swap" Please like my page below and leave a comment with yours and I will go and do a like on that, and encourage my visitors to do the same. Together we can like eachother to success!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/JobHunters/129947357023282">http://www.facebook.com/pages/JobHunters/129947357023282</a><br /><br />If you know of any better ways to get likes for your facebook page that are legitimate and not too expensive please let me know.<br /><br />Happy blogging<br /><br />Rob<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-91427427129206317582010-09-03T14:49:00.000-07:002010-09-03T15:04:41.697-07:00Why I love my Nexus One<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghawjFkeMVV_uLRtLoo4tH7XvioDAoeVf5B07MEgOkVOOenngbLlWqVmEFB9qwu6PbSDblRWIZ18TKEN971-3xtH6oCtXWS4HUE7AwIuvOKj_lKweJKZI4jBrd7n8QI5rtZnnM/s1600/google-nexus-one.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; ;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghawjFkeMVV_uLRtLoo4tH7XvioDAoeVf5B07MEgOkVOOenngbLlWqVmEFB9qwu6PbSDblRWIZ18TKEN971-3xtH6oCtXWS4HUE7AwIuvOKj_lKweJKZI4jBrd7n8QI5rtZnnM/s320/google-nexus-one.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512811181519546322" /></a><br />Well I finally got a Nexus One ( AKA Google Phone ). Most of my colleagues at work have iphones however I am not a Mac fan and loved the way that with the Android operating system I was supporting something open source.<br /><br />It took me a few days to get used to all the little shortcuts and features of this phone, but the more I use it the more I like it.

A couple of years ago I did some work for a friend of my then father in law's, he wanted a site set up and so on.<br /><br />Now.. its important to point this out.. I told him I wasn't a web designer, and he seemed to understand that at the time, so we talked about setting up a blog, something he could ideally maintain himself.<br /><br />Roll forward a few months, he had obviously decided I was a web designer ( which I am not ) and kept asking for this and that, and liasing with his graphics guy to set up what he had in his mind as the perfect site for his business.<br /><br />Anyway meanwhile... my marriage broke up - so I was trying to get back on my feet, find a place to live and so on, and he started getting all Pissy and started saying how I wasn't delivering what he wanted ( hey remember.... was only trying to help him out I AM NOT A WEB DESIGNER ). <br /><br />To cut a long story short, he got even more pissy, asked for me to handover the site details to another party and asked me to send him a final bill which he would then pay.<br /><br />Well roll forward time he never paid. However get this the main guy ( a celebrity ) he had fronting his product and book etc, is all over the news for molesting teenage girls and another thing... he now has this website up and running and promotions going through a chain of stores in NZ, but he doesn't seem to realize the website URL is still registered under my account. If I was a prick I could just shut it down right now.<br /><br />I guess the whole point of this post is, you don't have to lower yourself to anyones level but try to keep something back if you ever do work for anyone like that. I may or maynot send him a reminder invoice, haven't made up my mind yet but thought of the word KARMA when I read the news recently and saw the main face of this guys product with mud all over it.<br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Subscribe with feed reader <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheMillionDollarExperimentHeadsDownUnder">Make Money Fast feed</a>Subscribe by Email to the <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=579698">Make Money Fast Email Updates</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://millionnzdollars.blogspot.com/2007/04/advertising-packages-available-on.html">Your link here $5 for 4 links (1 link X 4 posts)</a></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-27201607567980849832009-12-30T00:40:00.000-08:002009-12-30T00:57:51.405-08:00Google Phone - I want a Nexus One<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtlr5TbR_Kq8xXtitScBxMkg770Z1f5W-kSTepb7pja7ag_nfJG3z1OWVooJJZebo9xEGhibaz4EgWJejdoIQT5vIlCCKcOySVPFSNpWiy0bttIQEGF-03vKe9r9U90eFt5i0O/s1600-h/nexusone.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtlr5TbR_Kq8xXtitScBxMkg770Z1f5W-kSTepb7pja7ag_nfJG3z1OWVooJJZebo9xEGhibaz4EgWJejdoIQT5vIlCCKcOySVPFSNpWiy0bttIQEGF-03vKe9r9U90eFt5i0O/s400/nexusone.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420948737750593138" /></a>There has been a lot of buzz about lately in regards to the "Google Phone" that Google gave their employees to play with at Christmas time.<br /><br />Based on the Android operating system if done well this looks to be a real threat to iphones and knowing Google they never do things by half measures.<br /><br />Google have scheduled a press conference at their headquarters on January 5th, they haven't confirmed it but the internet is full of rumours that this is when they will announce the new phone officially.<br /><br />Unconfirmed reports hint at a price of just over $500 unlocked, or under $200 on a 2 year plan.<br /><br />After looking at some of the articles and reading about the Android operating system one thing is for sure... I want one! iphones are great but the apps are very limited due to the strict controls Apple keeps over everything.<br /><br />If you want to read more about it here are some links where you will find more information.<br /><a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/12/new-google-nexus-one-phone-likely-to-launch-jan-5/"><br />Google Nexus One Phone Likely to Launch Jan. 5</a><br /><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12/29/nexus-one-google-droid/"><br />With Nexus One, Is Google Eating Its Own Dogfood Or Its Own Children?</a><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Subscribe with feed reader <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheMillionDollarExperimentHeadsDownUnder">Make Money Fast feed</a><br />Subscribe by Email to the <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=579698">Make Money Fast Email Updates</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://millionnzdollars.blogspot.com/2007/04/advertising-packages-available-on.html">Your link here $5 for 4 links (1 link X 4 posts)</a><br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-56422769228530959692009-12-28T23:18:00.000-08:002009-12-28T23:37:36.286-08:00Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!Well its been a long one... but what a year 2009 has been. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas, and what I hope for all is a fantastic New Year!<br /><br />Here at the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under we have been quietly working away behind the scenes and making money online with a number of different concepts.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Number One Earner for 2009</span>... Selling tyres on Trademe ( Similar to Ebay in other countries ) . Yes its bizarre but this year my main online money earner has been selling Tyres ( Tires for those American Visitors ). By finding a product I can buy cheaply and sell at a profit thousands of dollars have been created with minimal effort.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Curry Fans Go Crazy for Leftover Ham and Turkey Recipes</span>.... When checking the stats for our Curry Focus site I was very impressed to find that well timed articles written to make <a href="http://www.curryfocus.com/Blog/2009/12/22/leftover-ham-curry/">leftover ham curry</a> and one for <a href="http://www.curryfocus.com/Blog/2009/10/17/thanksgiving-day-leftover-turkey-curry/">leftover Turkey curry</a> going crazy. It pays to think ahead sometimes and by using predictable events, like Christmas and Thanksgiving, you can make money fast and smartly with well timed articles.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Text Links and Sponsored Posts</span>... These are a thing of the past for me, I prefer to make my money nowadays on content and selling products. Others may still do ok out of these money making avenues but for me the time has come to diversify.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Looking ahead to 2010</span>... for the year ahead I plan on launching some new concept sites, as well as working away at my main income earners. ( Curry Recipes, Job Sites and Tyre Sales ).<br /><br />Enjoy your holidays, make goals and set targets for 2010 and remember that by changing your tactics, watching for opportunities and not being afraid to stick your head out you can make real money online.<br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Subscribe with feed reader <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheMillionDollarExperimentHeadsDownUnder">Make Money Fast feed</a><br />Subscribe by Email to the <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=579698">Make Money Fast Email Updates</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://millionnzdollars.blogspot.com/2007/04/advertising-packages-available-on.html">Your link here $5 for 4 links (1 link X 4 posts)</a><br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-77388226425248288932009-09-11T04:22:00.000-07:002009-09-11T16:41:16.952-07:00The Simple FactsSeveral years on after I began the blogging experiment and started reading all the "A-Bloggers" Blogs, there is only about one blog I think that I have kept following all this time and that is <a href="http://www.shoemoney.com/">Shoemoneys Blog</a>.<br /><br />The others seem a bit stuck on the same subjects, time after time. There are only so many times you can read about how to get new readers, how to come up with a funky blog headline or the latest blogging mastermind course before they all start to sound the same. Shoemoney however seems to be able to come up with different stuff all the time, and I think that is because he just blogs about what's on his mind, or what new stuff he has come across.<br /><br />As for me I continue to make a few dollars from the various websites that I operate although funnily enough the biggest money making idea I have come across lately is selling stuff on Trade me ( NZ's equivalent of Ebay ). By utilizing my past career's contacts and product knowledge I have managed to make hundreds of dollars a month selling of all things Tires online.<br /><br />I think I have come to a crossroads on this blog.. I no longer are motivated to blog about making money by writing about making money but are happy to share my ideas and success's or simply if I come across something interesting. I can't promise to make anyone rich quick, and will not try to send you to a site that pretends to do exactly that, but I will share any great ideas that I come across and will always answer any questions that you may have.<br /><br />Currently I have moved sites that were .co.uk but hosted in NZ to hosting in the UK. There are mixed opinions on this but it appears the search engines may indeed factor in the locality of a sites hosting into the equation.<br /><br />I continue to sell products online, promote my sites and collect money from advertising and will share anything I learn with the readers of this site.<br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Subscribe with feed reader <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheMillionDollarExperimentHeadsDownUnder">Make Money Fast feed</a><br />Subscribe by Email to the <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=579698">Make Money Fast Email Updates</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://millionnzdollars.blogspot.com/2007/04/advertising-packages-available-on.html">Your link here $5 for 4 links (1 link X 4 posts)</a><br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-45064117625634225092009-08-14T04:44:00.000-07:002009-08-14T05:05:22.569-07:00Make Money Fast - Get a Job!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDDgxE8lDoNyLlBuaTZS703PXPjr9Bt07RYoIW7G5a-T0rhwlzecbWIrsEslutsZoR7yQfSs0-dQE-enQZdhlC2ntt3WdCqvgiRif-Ic8xh2jVGJcco84WH6nBuMhbs4Qr1yX2/s1600-h/Uncle+Sam+I+Want+You_1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 288px; height: 315px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDDgxE8lDoNyLlBuaTZS703PXPjr9Bt07RYoIW7G5a-T0rhwlzecbWIrsEslutsZoR7yQfSs0-dQE-enQZdhlC2ntt3WdCqvgiRif-Ic8xh2jVGJcco84WH6nBuMhbs4Qr1yX2/s400/Uncle+Sam+I+Want+You_1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369788706466507586" /></a><br />For those of you looking for work in the recession we all find ourselves in you are welcome to register your profile on our free job hunter sites. We have just launched in the states but are in desperate need of candidates before we can start advertising to employers. <br /><br />So if you are looking for work, or want to advertise your services please sign up on our free site. Registration takes less than 5 mins, we don't want your life story just a quick run down on the type of position you are looking for.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.americanjobhunters.com">American Jobhunters</a><br /><br />The Jobhunters sites started more than two years ago when we created a single site in New Zealand. It proved fairly popular so the next step was an Australian version, followed by a European site, fairly recently a Canadian site joined the group and now we are looking to help people looking for work in the States.<br /><br />Matching employers to jobseekers is something I find personally satisfying, the sites have never made a great deal of money, however I think the concept is a good one. The employers are able to browse the categorized listings of job seekers and then contact them, with no private details divulged unless the candidate decides to respond.<br /><br />Each response is checked first to ensure its not spam, ( or some kind of network marketing offer or get rich quick scheme!! ) and if relevant forwarded on to the candidates. New candidates are displayed on the front page of the site for a period of time.

I am always having problems with duplicate songs and songs that are on my computer but don't make it into my itunes library. After a bit of googling I have found a great app, that is even better because its free and works like a charm.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mypodapps.com/meta-iPod/">Meta ipod</a><br /><br />Basically you install the app, add any folders that contain your music. The app then scans the folders and your itunes library and highlights a number of areas including duplicate songs, and missing songs. The scan took about 20 min, but I have nearly 30 gig of music, so figured it would take a while.<br /><br />After the scan you just click a button and work through fixing up whatever it finds, end result more music and less duplicates! A great way to clean up your library.<br /><br />Let me know what you think of the application, if you decide to give it a go, I could not believe it was free for such a handy utility.<br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Subscribe with feed reader <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheMillionDollarExperimentHeadsDownUnder">Make Money Fast feed</a><br />Subscribe by Email to the <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=579698">Make Money Fast Email Updates</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://millionnzdollars.blogspot.com/2007/04/advertising-packages-available-on.html">Your link here $5 for 4 links (1 link X 4 posts)</a><br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-75275749525667317252009-07-11T04:06:00.000-07:002009-07-11T04:22:22.053-07:00The Catch 22 of Text Link AdsA couple of months ago I got an email from Text Link Ads that informed me they would no longer be selling new links on my site as Pagerank had gone. <br /><br />This is ironic because if I hadn't sold text links I would still have a great pagerank.....<br /><br />Nowadays I don't even bother trying to sell text links, however keep earning money of those that I have sold in the past. As they drop off however my monthly income from these sources slowly declines.<br /><br />Are text links a thing of the past? Maybe with the increased popularity of search engines like "bing" Google will focus on providing great search results for sites that have great relevant content, and stop punishing sites for trying to make a few dollars (Which one could argue helps to encourage that great content...)<br /><br />One thing that I am going to try to do more of, and it's something I have probably neglected in the past is to stop worrying so much about making money out of every article or site that I own, and just to focus on building sites that are useful to people. I think if your site is popular enough the money will come and find you.<br /><br />As for Text Link Ads, they keep paying me each month, so I won't be too rude, but I do have one word for them after that email...<br /><h2>WHATEVER</h2><br /><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Subscribe with feed reader <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheMillionDollarExperimentHeadsDownUnder">Make Money Fast feed</a><br />Subscribe by Email to the <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=579698">Make Money Fast Email Updates</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://millionnzdollars.blogspot.com/2007/04/advertising-packages-available-on.html">Your link here $5 for 4 links (1 link X 4 posts)</a><br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-8322078915655382072009-04-05T23:31:00.000-07:002009-04-06T00:05:21.726-07:00Make Money Fast Legally With ArticlesOver the last few years I have experimented with countless ways of making money fast online legally and one of the best ideas that I am going to share with you today is simply writing good articles that will create passive income for you month after month. If I had more motivation I would simply churn them out day after day, however with working full time and the other demands of life I am just glad that I have written some sensible ones in the past that bring in thousands of visitors every month.<br /><br />If I lost my job or needed extra money and had the time I would simply repeat this formula over and over again, maybe you can make the most of what I have learned..<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1./ Get a great title with keywords that don't have to much competition.</span><br /><br />This is key to the long term success of your article, find something that may even sound boring or mundane and write an article about it, rememember however it must be related to your website for the best results. When I was looking at writing an article for my job site I found that a lot of people were searching for information on <a href="http://www.jobhunters.co.nz/blog/2007/09/25/how-many-work-days-in-a-year/">how many work days in a year</a>, so wrote this simple yet informative article that answered the question. Last month 690 people landed on my site via this article and it appears on the front page of google for that very question.<br /><br />Sure its not going to make a million dollars, however its regular income every month from the content related adverts that I run on it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2./ Write something unique and helpful that people will comment on and link to.</span><br /><br />Make sure the article you write gives answers to the questions that people are searching for everyday. That way other sites will link to you and forums where these questions are being discussed will tend to send traffic your way.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3./ Write more than a few lines</span><br /><br />I generally write 4 or 5 paragraphs at least as that seems to work well. Google won't tell us what their algorithm is however it seems obvious they are going to ignore or lend little value to just a few lines of text.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">4./ Consistently create content</span><br /><br />My most popular <a href="http://www.curryfocus.co.uk">curry recipe</a> site is updated at least weekly by one of my internet partners who fortunately is a lot more motivated when it comes to writing content than I am. Over the years this site now has hundreds of articles that attract thousands of visitors every month.<br /><br />So there it is, as always there is no element of rocket science involved, just common sense, consistency and content. Key factors in the art of making legal money online!<br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Subscribe with feed reader <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheMillionDollarExperimentHeadsDownUnder">Make Money Fast feed</a><br />Subscribe by Email to the <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=579698">Make Money Fast Email Updates</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://millionnzdollars.blogspot.com/2007/04/advertising-packages-available-on.html">Your link here $5 for 4 links (1 link X 4 posts)</a><br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-33401614910716920142008-07-18T15:57:00.000-07:002008-07-18T16:23:26.918-07:00How to Make Your AdWords Advert a Successful OneI have been experimenting a little bit with a couple of small Adwords campaigns, directed to landing pages in an attempt to generate a little extra money. The first problem that I encountered was although I am getting impressions, people are simply not clicking on the adverts, so its now mission time, to try to generate an advert that not only converts impressions into clicks, but converts the right kind of customers that will actually buy as well! <br /><br />Nothing is ever easy in this world is it.<br /><br />I am trying to sell Matrix DVD's to a target market of UK. I am pointing the advert to this <a href="http://www.gristech.com/phase1/">landing page</a>, which I whipped up from a template I found online, and filled with my amazon affiliate adverts for the Matrix DVD, the plan being to pay for cheap clicks from people actually wanting to buy the Matrix DVD, convert them and make a few dollars.<br /><br />My Advert currently is along the lines of this...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Considering The Matrix?</span><br />Matrix Books and DVD's<br />Great Prices and Lots of Products<br /><a href="http://www.gristech.com/phase1/">www.gristech.com</a><br /><br />Its fair to say the advert is pretty crap. So I am going for a rewrite... and came up with this. Previously was getting 0% conversion so will post again in a few days and update if there is any change..<br /><br />I found out from <a href="http://www.icminsiders.com/members/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=34">this article</a> that you can actually add a keyword dynamically into the title so are going to give this a shot.

It is now 21 Months later and I have NOT made One million dollars yet, however I have made more than ten thousand dollars online and set myself up with a small monthly income whether I work at it or not.<br /><br />All was well on target until January/February this year when my life literally fell to pieces and I ended up leaving my marriage, going through a very tough time both emotionally and financially and working on my experiment was to be quite honest the last thing on my mind.<br /><br />Six months later the world is a different place for me, it has not been an easy time, by any stretch of the imagination, but as the saying goes <blockquote>"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"</blockquote> and I believe I will come out of this whole experience wiser, smarter and happier in the long run, however it's going to take time and I would not wish the last six months on anyone.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLFJqxIK8sa6uniH-xdRF_6dg31xcu5q_fNHkIW2G-YbD5MfQjYAUCEFvmBGj5xYz_FMVcYo3Qd9pLF5c__ScT6LnIr6LG7NCHppnS-CHu9TXo_Kxam1xP4oPz6rV-OJY6FT9d/s1600-h/cash.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLFJqxIK8sa6uniH-xdRF_6dg31xcu5q_fNHkIW2G-YbD5MfQjYAUCEFvmBGj5xYz_FMVcYo3Qd9pLF5c__ScT6LnIr6LG7NCHppnS-CHu9TXo_Kxam1xP4oPz6rV-OJY6FT9d/s400/cash.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222777978108587666" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Results for January - June 2008 ($NZ)</span><br /><br />Jan 200.06<br />Feb 264.95<br />Mar 493.58<br />Apr 487.44<br />May 764.94<br />Jun 481.06<br /><br />That folks is $2692.03 NZ dollars which added to the running total of 8493.68 comes to<br /><br /><h2>$11185.71</h2><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Where to from here?</span><br /><br />Well one of many things I have learned is that money can be earned online, there have been some high points and low points along the journey and in some ways this is just beginning. <br /><br />My goals over the next few months are to get right back on track, I have graphs to update and figures to plan so make sure you check back soon for more updates from the Million Dollar Experiment down under...<br /><br />Happy blogging - and remember if I can make more than ten thousand dollars online so can you, read through my site and follow the journey from the beginning. <br /><br />Rob StGeorge<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-30161630174360039982008-06-28T19:46:00.000-07:002008-12-09T01:11:30.832-08:00Make Money Fast with ClickboothIf you are an affiliate marketer or looking to advertise your online business then one of the sites you will want to be keeping a close eye on is the Clickbooth Blog.<br /><br />Clickbooth are one of those companies that stand apart from other affiliate marketing companies in a number of ways, but one that I believe is very important is the fact that they do really care for their partners and the <a href="http://blog.clickbooth.com/">Clickbooth Blog</a> is one example of this.<br /><br />Clickbooth realize that by helping and sharing their vast experience with their partners all parties involved, including advertisers, are rewarded.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCX2zX50eeHUTQ8ssvU5xaR4Wjw4gnZYI46DK72WcbI7W5EofdwKY2YpP64b0diY-cS5sdH3eRFrzCH0LXDT3_UseUCZn_GVV8MctKO5R-RaFdvMzjF0yxPJwwZPu9HPOQ9iYP/s1600-h/clickbooth.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCX2zX50eeHUTQ8ssvU5xaR4Wjw4gnZYI46DK72WcbI7W5EofdwKY2YpP64b0diY-cS5sdH3eRFrzCH0LXDT3_UseUCZn_GVV8MctKO5R-RaFdvMzjF0yxPJwwZPu9HPOQ9iYP/s400/clickbooth.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217135739686092018" /></a> <br /><br />The Clickbooth team also have a <a href="http://twitter.com/clickbooth">Clickbooth Twitter page</a> which is like a mini blog of its own and has some great information for affiliates. <br /><br />Its a good idea to sign up to the twitter updates if you want to be notified and be proactive with your affiliate promotions.

Believe me I know this because I have been there.<br /><br />One of the best ways of getting out of debt is to consolidate everything into one loan, that way you can get a lower interest rate, one easy payment at whatever frequency suits you and just sort out your debt once and for all.<br /><br />The netdebt website walks you through a series of questions and then will advise you if they can help you with your debt, or whether you should just continue as you are. I was very impressed with this site, and one of the reasons was after I answered the questions the site recommended that I am doing ok the way I am going now.<br /><br />If you need a site that will walk you through your current situation, make the right recommendations to steer you on the right path for the future and have all this figured in a matter of minutes I would recommend the <a href="http://netdebt.com">Net Debt</a> website.<br /><br />If you have questions it could be a good idea to check out the <a href="http://www.netdebt.com/index.cfm?event=faq">net debt frequently asked questions</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-6811306715309080602008-05-30T15:46:00.000-07:002008-05-30T15:53:06.035-07:00Passive Income Starting to Kick InIts taken a long time, well into the second year now but everyday I do make a bit of money whether I do anything or not.<br /><br />I try not to spend to much time on things that are not going to help long term anymore and to be honest do not spend even a quarter as much time online as what I used to. Earnings have certainly suffered however every month I am still earning several hundred dollars via a mixture of online activities.<br /><br />This site for some reason got a fair amount of PR back from the google gods, and that has certainly helped things income wise.

However its a dilemma in itself because normally if you want to make money in a real hurry I have found that I have had to do the likes of sponsored reviews, or sell links. This is all good and you can get quick results however you also need to focus on the long term stuff which means creating worthwhile and valuable content that is going to create passive income, and unfortunately spamming your sites with paid posts and links is not really the best way to go about it.<br /><br />My answer to this has and always will be multiple sites, I have sites which have never seen a sponsored post anywhere near them, I also have sites which I pretty much use solely for sponsored posts. ( not this one if you were wondering, this blog is a mixed bag where I try to create content, but do a bit of advertising as well )<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />How much money can you make in a short time frame?</span><br /><br />I went to one of my paid post sites tonight and wrote 5 quick short posts that took me around 30 minutes and I was paid $US 25-00 for my efforts. Thats not great money, but it was quick and effortless really and filled a need ( money for the bank account ). <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Balancing it out</span><br /><br />The important thing is if you do something like this try to make sure you also spend time creating content or improving traffic to your key sites, so that you are not only fulfilling your immediate requirements but also working on creating a longer term and reliable passive source of income, that is really the golden egg, that I think most of us are seeking. So don't ruin your sites for short term gain if you can help and are looking to really make decent money fast online.<br /><br />Good luck with your quest to make money fast online!<br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Subscribe with feed reader <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheMillionDollarExperimentHeadsDownUnder">Make Money Fast feed</a><br />Subscribe by Email to the <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=579698">Make Money Fast Email Updates</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://millionnzdollars.blogspot.com/2007/04/advertising-packages-available-on.html">Your link here $5 for 4 links (1 link X 4 posts)</a><br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-46739480952443718332008-04-23T20:08:00.000-07:002008-12-09T01:11:31.604-08:00My Top Current Passive Earners - Lazy Mans guide to Making Money Fast<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgZwVXPPb4M93tQVQcXbsX5I1eoj0YedjPUk6JO0RMscHwcXHBvSniMpKR4Ui33I4705iZCDaIIctJfl6IX6SwIA26nDD2oz4CBYomU86gSuB4ScfhzjUZaxRcNTwjARVxE3q7/s1600-h/earn-money-while-you+sleep.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgZwVXPPb4M93tQVQcXbsX5I1eoj0YedjPUk6JO0RMscHwcXHBvSniMpKR4Ui33I4705iZCDaIIctJfl6IX6SwIA26nDD2oz4CBYomU86gSuB4ScfhzjUZaxRcNTwjARVxE3q7/s400/earn-money-while-you+sleep.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188288614409636450" /></a>As you have probably noticed I have not been dedicating much time to actively making money online lately, however it has been an experiment in itself to see which avenues that had been set up on my sites continue to tick away earning money for me while I have been doing very little actively on the sites.<br /><br />On a personal note I want to thank all the readers that have stuck with this site over the last few months, even though there has not been a lot going on... Sometimes life is a funny thing and although most of the time things continue in some sort of consistent pattern, events do transpire that change the course of your life forever. Often its just a matter of rolling with the punches, taking one day at a time and working through things until you recover some sort of normality in your life.<br /><br />Anyway below are the top passive earners that have kept ticking away for me over the last little while, number 2 and number 3 are affiliate links so if you sign up via my link and make some money, its possible that I will see a small return for sending you there.<br /><br />1./ <a href="http://www.google.com/adsense">Google Adsense</a> - has always been the top passive income earner for me, basically install the code on your site, drive traffic to your site and you will make money. There are probably methods that could be better used to monetize this space, but for ease of use most people I am sure would agree that Google Adsense is right up there.<br /><br />2./ <a href="http://www.linkworth.com/?a=3604">Linkworth</a> - It has really taken me a while to begin earning consistant income with these guys but for the last few months thanks to slowly but surely building up a few advertisers that are happy to purchase advertising on my sites they are now earning a reliable residual income. Sometimes even if things don't always go your way you really need to be persistent to achieve that goal of making passive income online. <br /><br />3./ <a href="http://www.money4banners.com/?aff=11737">Bucks4Banners</a> - These guys just keep paying me for a few banner adverts that I have. Easy to set up and they just keep paying month after month. Often its a bit hard to figure out what sites they will accept however from what I have found they are not that keen on "make money online" sites and prefer more natural kind of sites.<br /><br />I would be very interested in hearing which are the top 3 - 5 passive earners on other peoples sites, so please share, however only please if you are actually making money from these programs.<br /><br />Rob<br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Subscribe with feed reader <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheMillionDollarExperimentHeadsDownUnder">Make Money Fast feed</a><br />Subscribe by Email to the <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=579698">Make Money Fast Email Updates</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://millionnzdollars.blogspot.com/2007/04/advertising-packages-available-on.html">Your link here $5 for 4 links (1 link X 4 posts)</a><br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.textlinkbuzz.com">Text Link Buzz</a></div>Bertlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708433777299611079noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36041778.post-40666077514467246092008-04-21T03:48:00.000-07:002008-04-22T23:06:09.807-07:00Best deals on jewelryLooking for best deals on jewelry?
