PayU2Blog, Technorati and our 5 top Blog Referrals

A couple of weeks ago I submitted my Blog to one of the new Pay per post players on the scene and today I received an email from them.

Thanks for your blog submission, your blog qualifies and currently we pay $ 5 per completed assignment. We pay out every other Friday via PayPal. I wanted to say Hello and make sure that you are ready to get started working with us on our projects. You can also get more information
off of our blog at:http://blog.payu2blog.com/5/bloggers-get-paid-to-blog/

Great I have fired them off another email with some more information that was requested and with a bit of luck will be able to give them a shot very soon. Of course I will be sharing the experience.

As far as Pay per post sites go these are the ones that so far have been successfully used by this experiment. We did a full review on pay per post a month or so back.

Blogitive
Blogsvertise

It has become obvious to me in recent times that given enough websites you could probably almost eke out some sort of a living by writing paid posts, however it wouldn't be the most satisfying way to earn a crust.

Technorati - we have just moved into the top 17000 Blogs woohoo, would be very happy to get into the top 10,000 so if you have a like minded blog with 3 months or more of content lets swap links and help each other out.

Who are going to be the top 5 blog sites for March that earn a months worth of links from my posts in April? Well let me tell you at this stage it looks like there will be a couple of new sites that have moved up the MillionNZDollar Referral ladder, all will be revealed in a few days once March is done and dusted.

Coming soon we look at an excellent tool for tracking the ranking performance of key words that you are interested in optimizing your site for.

Take it easy

How to supplement your income with Sponsored Posts

Lately I have been writing sponsored posts, lots of them and although one may think that this could negatively impact a blog, I actually think that it has a positive impact, additionally it is helpful revenue to my part of the Million Dollar Experiment.

Writing sponsored posts can mean that your Blog is regularly updated - which is a good thing.

Reputable Pay per post companies like Blogitive require that you have at least 2 posts of 50 words or more between sponsored posts. This means that if you are writing lots of sponsored posts, you are also writing a lot of not sponsored posts - this is also a good thing.

You can clearly mark a sponsored post, as a sponsored post, this means that readers can tell at a glance what it is and choose to read it if they wish or simply ignore it.

Key words, you may find that your site starts to show up from searches that it would not have previously, because of the wealth of new key words that you have been using in your sponsored posts.

It is quite possible to earn more than $50 US a month doing this, even on a relatively low traffic blog. That pays for your Internet connection, hosting if you pay for it and a domain name!

I recommend that if you are writing sponsored posts, that every time you publish one, you have another article ready to go straight after it. That way whenever someone visits your blog they are greeted with a genuine article, not a Sponsored Post, which could put them off.

Happy Posting - Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

40 Day Summary of the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under

This is a summary of the last 40 days which is the time this Blog has been running. I am hoping to provide value to anyone else looking to make money online as hopefully reading through my site and the Like Minded Blogs that I link to combined supply a wealth of information for anyone wanting or thinking about making Money Online.

I will start with the biggest earner to date and move my way down.

Number 1 Money4Blogs
These guys are amazing, what a great way to get started making money for blogging, you simply go to their site and send them an email, they will check your site out and if ok make you an offer for a simple text link on your site. Remember however this is a one off, and not going to be a passive income as such.

Money Earned to date $NZ 29-41

Number 2 Paid Blogging Blogsvertise and Blogitive
So far I have completed 2 posts, one for each site, certainly an interesting way to learn about a new product and earn money at the same time. Not a passive income, however can be counted on for a few bucks every week.

Money Earned to date $NZ 14-71

Number 3 Google Adsense
The faithful google adsense, is a passive income, as nothing really needs to be done, just set up the ads on your site and reel in the bucks.

Money Earned to date $NZ 7-13

Number 4 Mylot
Mylot is certainly an interesting idea, basically it involves posting to discussions and creating your own discussions online. I am unsure exactly how profitable it could be however. For me it is going to be a mission in itself to make 10 dollars which is the minimum payout. The key is to get a lot of referrals going, then you will get 25% of the income earned by the people you refer to the site. So far I have one referral signed up, if that was you thanks and go and get posting!

Money Earned to date $NZ -94

Number 5 Sportsbetting
I have never been much of a gambler and my lack of experience is starting to show, I thought by betting on super low odds, that a small profit could be made, but have so far been disappointed. I have made six 5 dollar bets to date, and two of them lost against all odds. Not for the faint hearted however it has been fun anyway, once I have lost a total of ten nz dollars this will be dropped from our portfolio once and for all.

Money Earned to date $NZ -6-60

All up in 40 days we have made a total of $45-59 NZ dollars, and I am happy with that as a start, I am pleasantly surprised at the number of money making opportunities there are out there and I am still only scratching the surface. We have just started with commission junction and will be reporting on this in the weeks to come.

I would not like to count the hours I have spent making this 45 dollars, and prefer to think of it as leisure time spent earning money.

Be sure to check back regularly and let me know via a comment if you have any good ideas that would be worth trying.

Take it easy and good luck with your endeavours, if you would like me to link to your site, please place a link to mine and let me know via a comment.

We look at another way to Make Money Online

If you have ever thought about making money from your Blog Posts it is worth considering Blogitive. They offer a simple format in the quest to make money online and it works like this.

Firstly you register on their site and you need to submit your blog. It takes a day or 2 to get approval and it is likely that someone actually checks your blog to make sure it is suitable for the program.

Their site is very simple to use, once you have been approved you can login and check the "Open Offers" which are basically paid blog posts that you can choose from. Once you have accepted an offer you then need to get writing about it and submit it. Once they have approved you will be paid via paypal for your troubles.

So far I am very impressed, I will keep you posted as I continue to use the site. If you decide to join up please keep me posted on how you are getting on. Although some people may be upset to think that you are being paid to write about companies and products remember that their is no rule that says you need to say a company is great when it is not.
