How to get paid to blog

January, 2008 by NeoN

It’s always interesting to see how different blog networks pay their bloggers.

Valleywag today has a post on Gawker’s new blogger pay structure - they’re moving to a system where their bloggers are paid based upon traffic levels. It’s a smart way to go - we’ve been doing a similar system (base pay which is based upon how long you’ve been blogging with us plus traffic bonus) at b5media for a while now.

I think it’s good because it guarantees a minimum level of income that a blogger can expect to earn in a month but gives incentive to write the type of posts that get traffic.

Other systems that I’ve heard other blog networks using include:

* Payments Per Post - a flat fee per post (I’ve heard of anything from a few dollars up to hundreds of dollars per post - depending upon the blog, topic, blogger profile and post length)
* Revenue Share - where the blogger earns an agreed upon percentage of their blog’s revenue (I’ve heard anything from 20% to 80% splits)
* Revenue Share of Certain Income Streams - where the blogger takes a % of one or two income streams and the network takes other income streams (for example a blogger might take 80% of AdSense revenue and the network takes the other 20% plus any other income from the blog). Another variation on this is where the blogger is allowed to use affiliate programs and the network takes advertising revenue.
* Traffic Payments - some networks pay purely on traffic levels - a CPM model (ie blogger is paid $X per 1000 page views)
* Flat Monthly Fees - the blogger is paid a certain amount per month if they reach certain posting goals.

I’m sure there are plenty of other blogger payment models used in other networks (there are plenty of variations and combinations of the above too). I’d love to hear of others you’ve heard of or used. (problogger.net)

Hobowars the Truth Revealed

January, 2008 by NeoN

What is hobowars? It’s one of many high level internet marketing scheme. Obviously, it’s offering people some privilleges for a $5 donation via pay-pal. There are more than 8 million users there. Imagine if 10% of them donate $5. How much money will the author get? Exactly! $4.000.000, my friend. That’s a nice sum of money. Not to mention the points system a.k.a. the author’s affiliate program (User can complete an offer then get some points that can be exchanged for money in the game). I think he’s bathing money now :) .

This is a good marketing strategy. Make people addicted, then extract benefit of it. Not many can do so. Two thumbs up for you, man. So, for you programmers out there who don’t get a live, why don’t you make something like this, and Monetize it! Or, if you don’t have any idea, I have some. I just don’t have the skill to program it.

3 Tips on How to increase blog traffic

January, 2008 by NeoN

The following post on how to increase website traffic was submitted by Adrian W Kingsley-Hughes.

I started the PC Doctor blog in May of 2005 and for the first few months my traffic was really low - down in the few hundreds of visitors a day. It was pretty depressing I can tell you and there were times when I thought about quitting. I knew that the site was in the Google ’sandbox’ and so I either had to keep on plugging at it until it was out or I had to give up. Read More »

Project Quick Cash

January, 2008 by NeoN

Ever heard the name “Project Quick Cash“? Yep, it’s the brand new ebook on quick making money online. The author claimed that he could earn $13,000+ in 2 hours without spending a dime. I was really curious that time and doubtful too (who won’t?). Like everyone did, I also thought that it was just a scam. Because I’m too damn poor, I wanted it for free. So I tried to look it for free in the net (warez n stuffs) but couldn’t find one. So I bought it anyway.

After a day of implementing it, the result is amazing. Read More »
