The New Era of Internet Money Making

We’re living in the new era of internet. Nearly everything is possible to do with an ease of a click these days. Money making is not an exception. Today, it is easier than ever before to earn some extra money or even get a reasonable salary by using valuable resources of the web.

The New Era
Remember those days when there was no facebook, digg, twitter and youtube was just an ordinary website? Back in those days gaining money on the internet sounded like a scam or autopia. Fortunately, those days have passed and today we live in a different kind of world. As a matter of fact, we live in a new internet era, when nearly everything is possible online. Today, major websites (like youtube, facebook, yahoo and so on) are not fighting for more views and popularity anymore, now they are working together to give the users the greatest experience possible.

Money Making Online
But what about money making online? Has the situation regarding money making online changed during the last decade? The answer is dramatically. All of the mentioned websites can help you to gain a lot of cash if you consider a possibility to put some work in it. Furthermore there is a huge variety of gaining money by just doing what you enjoy, which is one of the best advantages of gaining money online. The chances are, if you’re writing on triond you enjoy writing, which is one of great ways to earn some money online. There are so many of websites, which are similar to triond these days that it is hard to count them. Also, you can write a blog or create a website with your content and gain some cash by using the famous google adsense system. It is needless to say that there are many other ways of making money online by using ptc programs, completing surveys, selling content, creating various websites and so on.

How to Earn Money Online So what’s the best way to gain money online? Unfortunately there is no certain recipe that will make you rich or will gain you a salary online. I mean, look at the best online websites like facebook, youtube and others. They all have dozens of differences, and only one thing in common – they had a great starting idea and involved a lot of work. Thus it is important to realize that it is necessary to work to get any results. Well now whent this is clear, let’s talk about money making strategies. Firstly, it’s important to notice that you can start your money making in the internet by investing some starting money or doing it from scratch for free, for instance writing for triond. Most of the times, you can get a head start by investing some money, for instance paying someone to create you a great website, paying for websites to advertise your forum or blog or buying books about programing. However, I can’t say that’s always the best choice. Today a lot of good books or guides on website creation can be downloaded for free. So when you have deicided on your investing sum, you have to make a decision on how are you going to earn money online. Once again there’s no one best way, but the best suggestion would be – do what you like. For instance if you like poetry, write for triond, create a blog of poetry or a website, where people can publish their poems. This is just an example, but you get the idea. Now when you decide on your method, it’s important to advertise your content. For this it is necesary to use the great websites: youtube, facebook, twitter, digg, bing and so on. Basically, what you do is publish your content or advertise it on these websites. Furthermore, it’s always a good idea to create a blog and a website, where you will publish your content. And the best part is that you can use the same google adsense account for your blogs, websites and triond accounts, which means that not only your content will be more spread across the web, but you will also earn more money. By connecting your blogs, websites and various accounts to a web of websites and using google adsense, you will rapidly increase your earnings. And only one thing to do is left then – publish good content often.

The Big Game
The internet is not only a great place to find some entertainment, to earn some extra money or create a website, but also a place where big businesses are born. Various corporations earn millions of dollars daily only from internet. The best part that it’s often much easier to create an internet business and get involved in the big game, than in the real life. I believe that these days, when we are living in the age of information it is a fabulous idea to create your own internet business. Of course you may be wondering how to create an internet business. Well, once again there’s no one golden recipe, but you should start from writing a great business plan, learning the basics of website creation and various types of internet money making. The best part is that you can learn all of these things for free and get a headstart by earning money from your blogs or triond and other websites. And having in mind that internet websites are relatively cheap, you can start your little project easier than you think. So good luck in making money online, or maybe even starting an internet business.

Top Lazy Things to Do to Make Your Articles More Popular

It's not a secret that there are many simple ways to make your articles more popular even if you're too lazy to make your writing or titles better and eye-catching (not that I advice this). So let's make a simple list of these simple techniques.

Find Friends!

Yeah it's dead easy. You can get more views by adding a lot of friends (in your blog account, Triond account and so on). By adding more friends you will become more popular among the site community, and will get more views.

Comment Stuff

Once again doesn't require much time and effort. Simply view your friends' articles and comment them. Though be honest and do not add those annoying comments that say nothing about the article and are totally useless (like thanks for the share and all that other stuff that almost everybody uses these days). Believe me, you will get more views for this quite fast.


Use Twitter, Digg, Facebook, Stumble Upon...

The title says it all. Simply use these websites and repeat steps 1 and 2 on these websites. This is a truly simple but adds a lot of views to your articles rapidly.

Use Cheap Tricks

Once again I don't advice this, but if you are eager to get some extra views this technique is very effective. Need an example? Well one of the most famous cheap tricks is writing about celebrity deaths or sex tapes. By the way this is one of the most risky ways of getting views, because your friends on Triond, or your blog can simply loose respect for you.


Ask Other People to Read Your Stuff

If you are registered at any of the big freelance writing websites, you are probably annoyed by other members sending you messages asking to read their stuff. However, its quite effective, especially when members exchange links and read each others articles.

Pay Money to Get Your Stuff Advertised

If you have extra money you can do this, but I honestly think it's a bad idea. After all, most of the people write to earn some money, and I can personally say that many advertising programs are not that good.

Conclusion

As you might have already understood, I'm speaking ironically. It's clear that the best way to get more views is to write often, write good and never give up. However, some of the mentioned techniques come quite handy, especially for beginners. Still, you shouldn't use cheap tricks or any hacking programs to get more views because that's just not cool.

Choosing The Right Category of Articles

Today I have another tip for you all internet writers. All the writing sites have a variety of categories like science, health articles, recipes etc. After more than 3 months of writing at various websites I noticed that it's very important to find your own niche.


Various categories are of different level of popularity in various pay - to write websites. For instance if you're writing for Triond, you know that health articles are both popular and high payed. The same thing can be said about celebrity articles. It's always a good thing to choose a popular category.

Another important thing when choosing a category is the competition. Almost every article website has a top 10 articles tab, where you can find the best articles of all the categories. I've noticed, that if your article is among any of the top 10 lists your viewership increases dramatically. So it's always a good idea to choose a category, where the competition is not so stiff. That way you will get listed among the top 10 articles easier, and consequently you will get more views.

Finally, it's important to stick to one category, because by sticking to it you'll become a better writer. For instance, I have tried many article subjects, but ended up sticking with science articles, which bring the best cash, also I enjoy science, so it's great.

Another SEO Technique

In order to make money online you have to be quite good at SEO ( search engine optimization). Simply speaking you have to be good at making your content popular in search engines and various websites. SEO is easy to learn but hard to master.

I've been experimenting with various SEO techniques for a couple of months and realized that it's hard but worth of the time and effort. I started with a very simple technique - I put links in my Triond or Bukisa articles or blog articles. The more links your article has the higher it goes in the search engine list. Later I started submiting my content to various search engines, like the popular ones - Google, Bing and Yahoo. This turned out to ok, but I still needed more views, so I used another technique. It was social website. There are many nice social websites like Digg, Twitter and of course Stumble Upon. Last week I found out another technique - pinging.

To ping a content, website or blog simply means submitting your link to a ping website, which sends information to other websites so that your content gets noticed. When you ping your link it automatically get's noticed by various search engines and other relevant websites. It's a really great technique, mostly due to the fact that you don't have to submit your link manually.

To ping your link you need to find a free pinging service, enter the title of your blog, website or content and just wait till it loads. However, some pinging websites require you to put a special link to their website in order to use their services, so beware of such sites. I recommend using these free pinging websites:
1) pingfeed.com
2) autopinger.com
3) freeblogping.com

So far I've noticed a slight increase in page views, but only a little. I'm going to ping all my articles this week and see how will pinging affect the page views. I'll inform you guys how it turned out. I hope this technique will get you more page views. Thanks for reading.

More Article Websites

Recently I've joined another article website Wikinut.com. Basically it's the same thing as Triond and Bukisa. My first impression was kind of bad because of the bad website layout, but as I started writing I found some advantages as well.

Firstly, the website has a very basic layout compared to Triond and Bukisa, however it's simple to use. The first thing that you'll notice after registration is the point system, which is a nice feature. For performing various tasks like writing articles, logging in daily and commenting you get points and badges. It's nothing special but still nice to the eye. As for writing and publishing tools, this website has all you need. You can post pictures, add links and all that basic stuff, however I still prefer the Triond and Bukisa in this category.



The biggest advantage is that you really get many views, even with your first articles. In comparison, in Triond i received my first views for my first article only a couple of weeks after publishing. In Wikinut.com my first article was viewed by 45 people on the first day, so it's really impressive. However, there's a down side to this also.

In Triond you get 0.01 $ for 5 - 10 views, in Bukisa you can get 0.01 $ for 3 views, but in Wikinut.com you get only 0.007$ for 50 views. Having in mind that you can gain views quite easily it's not that bad, but still it's quite unfortunate.

Overall, Wikinut.com is a medium article site. It has a nice community and you can get many views, however you wont get much cash for your articles.

Status Update

So I've been publishing articles online for more than 3 months and all I can say is that it pays off if you have patience. Most of my articles were published on Triond.com and I currently have about 50 articles online. For those of you who are thinking of joining similar sites like Triond, the most important question is how much money can you get. Well I can tell you that after three months of writing, I get about 7 - 12 cents daily. Yeah I know it's not much, but I don't have to do anything and I still get the money, which is quite cool. Also I have only 50 articles, if I had like 300 or more after a year or so, I would receive about 1 dollar daily or even more. However, the main aim of writing to such freelance writing sites for me is not making a lot of money. The main aim for me is to learn writing quality articles, so that I could move on to writing real freelance articles for online magazines or websites.



Income from Triond per 3 months : 6.18 (+ 12.07 from Google Adsense) = 18.25 dollars
Daily income: 0.07 - 0.12 dollars from 50 articles

To Reach Success in Life


Life

Have you ever asked yourself why other people are happier than you, richer than you or more successful than you? Have you ever asked yourself why life is so hard? Well, these are rather hard questions my friend. You can find thousands of answers to these questions, for instance destiny, luck or maybe even god’s will. However, the more important question is what you should do to make your life better and more successful.

Since we are talking about life, let’s find a nice definition for life. Once again, it’s a very hard, even a philosophical question. For now let’s leave this question for the real philosophers and let’s stick with a simple, yet elegant definition of life – a work of art. Why a work of art? You see, once a very wise man said that life is like a work of art, like a painting while we, humans are painters. We paint our own lives with emotions, which are like colors. Colors of joy, charm, sadness and thrill.

So if we are painters and can paint our own lives the way we want, how can we make our lives better? There is a variety of techniques how to change your life, be happy, successful in your job or business, and have a happy relationship. Don’t worry, all of these techniques are easier to master than you might think. After all, sometimes, to create a masterpiece, all that a painter needs is some creativity and will power.

Difference Between You and Them

Let’s look at the famous people from all around the world – millionaires, actors, athletes. Now let’s think for a moment about what is the difference between you, a simple person and them, successful and famous people. Talent you might say. Yes talent is important, but without hard work talent is nothing. How about luck? Luck is like a lottery, you can never depend on it, sometimes you win but million other times you loose. So what is that mysterious difference that makes all of the successful people better than you and your neighbor? The answer is quite simple – it’s their mindset. It’s the way they think. So how should you think to become successful?

Placebo Effect

Did you know that if you were to give a patient with a headache a simple pill let us say vitamins, and tell him that this will cure his headache, he would possibly get better? A positive belief to get better is able to cure many diseases. This is the so called Placebo Effect. This simple scientifically proven effect proves that our beliefs can have influence on our actions and physical conditions. The wonderful thing about this mysterious Placebo Effect is that it works not only in medicine. Many psychological surveys and experiments have shown that positive beliefs have influence on person’s success in any field of life. For instance, athletes, who strongly believed in their victory have been shown to reach better results that those, who were pessimistic. You might ask how is this possible and how it works. To be honest, I don’t know. All I know is that as long as you believe in your success, you can reach everything. Every single person on this planet sees world from a different angle. Some people see only the good side of life, other see only sadness and tragedies. However, only those people, who see the life as a sea of opportunities, will be very successful in their life. Only those painters, who look at a blank canvas and see their future masterpiece, can truly paint a masterpiece. Simply speaking, the first step to success is believing in your success. However, this is harder than it seems.

There are some simple exercises than can boost your confidence and help you believe in yourself. The simplest exercise is repeating to yourself that you can achieve success in your life. Sounds stupid? Well it’s crazy but it works. All you have to do is say to yourself loudly that you believe in yourself and you can reach all of your aims. A famous journalist and writer Napoleon Hill once wrote a book. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a good title for it. So he spent hundreds of hours looking for a good title. He used to repeat the titles out loud for himself. He repeated the titles so loud and so motivational that he finally came up with a title, which brought millions of dollars to him. Sure, his neighbors were not happy about all the sound, but it was still worth it. All you have to do to achieve success is to trick your subconscious into believing that you can succeed, - Napoleon Hill once said during his lecture about personal improvement.

Review of Triond

Triond

Triond is another ways of making money online. Basically, it's a website, where you can write a variety of articles for money. This is my short review of Triond, after using it for 3 months.


Earning System

The earning system on Triond is very simple - the more views your articles get the more money you get. Of course, the most common questions are how much can your single article earn and how much can you earn on Triond. Well your single article get's paid 0.01 for every 7 - 10 views. There is no clear system because the articles are published on a variety of websites according to the subject and all of these sites pay for different number of views. As for the monthly cash, you can learn as much as you like, it depends on a variety of factors. For instance your writing style, your favorite writing subjects, the number of articles you write weekly and etc. For example, I have been on Triond for about three months and since then I have written 40 articles. Up to now I have received three monthly pays and they were: 0.79 $ the first month, 1.35$ the second month and this month I'll receive 2.15$. I know that's not much, but still the fact that I get paid and that this payment is getting bigger every month no matter what really makes me feel optimistic. Also I've heard about people who earn up to 3 dollars daily, which also makes me reach my aim - at least a dollar daily from Triond.

The Site Layout

The site has a very nice layout. In comparison with other similar sites like Bukisa or Ehow, Triond has a very easy to use layout and user - friendly interface. The fact that you can change and manage your profile page is also very nice.

The Community

The community is very important for such sites, because most of the views you'll get will be from the community. All I can say that Triond has a very nice community. As long as you comment articles of other people your articles also get commented. However, Triond forums contain a lot of spam, which should be fixed in my opinion.

Photos, Video and Poems

Triond is a unique site, because it gives you a chance to submit a variety of media forms for cash. For instance, if you like taking pictures, you can submit them for cash. Also you can submit your poems and videos or even paintings. However, the downside is that they don't pay much for pictures, poems or videos. Still, if you can submit quality content you can get paid some cash.



Verdict: 8.5/10

100 Views on Triond

First Step

Well today is a very nice day, because I finally managed to reach 100 daily views of my articles. It's nothing extraordinary and, yes I know,  there are people who have 10 000 daily views. But it's still a great step further for me. And you know how they say - every great journey starts with the first step.

Tips to First Success

I bet you're wondering why the hell I'm saying this to you. And the answer is very simple. I know there are many people who are still struggling to get more views to their sites or articles, thus I would like to share my experience and tips. I sincerely hope these tips will help you.
 

Tip Nr. 1 - Be an Active Community Member

The most important tip, no matter what content you are sharing, is to communicate to the community. I am a member of Triond for about 2 - 3 months, and I can tell you from my experience, that being friendly with the community really boosted my content views. I spent my first month writing many articles and not communicating with other members of Triond at all. And as you can guess, 10 views were the best thing I could get. However, during the second and third month I was active - commented other articles, sent a lot of friend invitations, created a blog and chatted with the community members. And, I have to admit, I really started believing that 1000 views or even 10000 views are possible, because my content views were steadily increasing. So my tip to you is - be an active community member. It doesn't matter if you're writing a blog, or writing articles at Triond or Bukisa, it is a very important thing. A great idea is to write 3 comments daily, read 3 articles daily and find new 3 friends daily. You can find more similar tips at my article Rule 333 - How to Promote Your Articles, which you can find here (Link).

Tip Nr. 2 - Create Unique Content

My most popular article (Link) got me many views, because it was a relatively unique article. What I mean by that, is that you have to create unique content, because people appreciate that. So be sure to check Google, before submitting your content, to find out if it is unique enough to be interesting and refreshing. Believe me, your views will be increased rapidly.


Tip Nr. 3 - Smart Tags

In order to get more views, you need to write down suitable tags to attract more visitors. A best way to find out which tags are popular you can use a simple tool, which is very useful to me,- Google AdWords tool (Link).

Tip Nr. 4 - Never Give Up!

The is the most vital rule. If you want to succeed, just don't give up. I know that at the beginning, especially at freelance writing websites like Triond or Bukisa, it is very hard to keep writing. However, now after 3 months at Triond, I can say to you - things get better. So keep it up and good luck!

Triond Status update:
Current monthly earnings - 1.76$ ( yeah I know it's not much, but things are getting better every moth).
Current daily earnings - 6 - 10 cents ( not that bad, though my goal until the end of the summer is 1$ daily earnings).


Feel free to share your current earnings or overall experience.

A Review of Neobux

So firstly I would like to review one the most famous internet PTC sites - Neobux. I would like to review this site, because it was the first site that brought me to, let us say, internet marketing. It's important to notice that now I do not use Neobux anymore for a variety of reasons that I will state later.

What is Neobux?

Neobux is one of the most famous PTC sites. A PTC site or, more simply, paid to click site is a website, that pays you money for clicking and viewing advertisements. It is as easy as that - you click an add, you view it for a certain amount of time and voila - you get a cent. I bet you are already interested in these types of websites, but please wait a minute, there are both advantages and disadvantages of these sites.


Advantages

1) It is easy to use. Even a child can understand the simple site layout of Neobux. It contains a dashboard with all your statistics and other useful tools, which will help you manage your account.

2) It is not time consuming. You can click up to 4 - 5 adds daily, and it only takes about 1 - 2 minutes daily. So I guess it is the best site for those people, who do not have enough time to, let us say, write articles.

3) Later you can rent some referrals - guys, who will click adds and share some revenue with you.

4) It pays out money via check or Paypal. 

Disadvantages

1) It does not pay a lot of money. As I mentioned earlier, you can click 4 - 5 adds daily, which means that you can get 4 - 5 cents daily.

2) Referrals do a very bad job. Most of the time referrals do a lazy job and only click 1 - 2 adds. You are lucky if you can find a referral, who will click all 4 - 5 adds.

3) You have to pay money to change your lazy referrals. It costs 7 cents, which actually kills the purpose of having referrals, because you will have to change them really often.

4) Your rented referrals will last only 30 days, then you will have to buy new ones, or pay for your old referrals once again.

My Personal Experience

I stopped using Neobux mostly due to the bad referrals. I remember, I had about 12 referrals, only two of which clicked adds daily. The fact that I had to pay 0.07$ to change my referrals really killed my interest in this site, because new referrals most of the time didn't clicked enough adds to gain me my 0.07$ back. After more than 3 months I was not able to gain more than 1 dollar because of the lazy referrals. Another major drawback for me was the golden membership. Basically you pay 90$ for a 1 year membership and you get double money for every add you click and double earnings from your referrals. However, after simple calculations, you can easily realize that golden membership won't pay off, unless you had a lot of referrals.

Conlusion

Neobux is a nice site if you need a couple of almost free quarters, but if you want to get more money you should choose other sites, like article writing sites. Also be aware, that many PTC sites are scam, so if you are still interested in such sites, be sure to find a pay proof of those sites on Google.

Neobux score - 5/10
