About a month ago I bought a copy of Google Payload. The product had been out for a while by then and there were mixed reviews across the web

Google Payload is about traffic arbitrage. You buy traffic from a cheap source then send it to a page where people click links or (less often) buy stuff.

As long as the the revenue from the clicks is more than the cost of the traffic all is good.

By the way, this is not a tactic I’d recommend to use with your Google Adsense account. It’s against TOS and will get you banned.

The author of Google Payload, Alex Goad explains how he went about using this tactic to make lots of money. Read the rest of this entry

Using the YouTube API and a PHP script you can make a site which displays a collection of YouTube videos. Great for displaying videos about a niche and as a way of adding extra value to your readers.

Here is an example of a video site about Learn Buddhism

There is documentation on the YouTube site to explain how to do it, but unless you have a good feel for PHP or another scripting language, then your unlikely to crack the code.

Google search doesn’t yield immediate results for complete scripts. There is some partial information but again some programming skills are required to effect a working site.

If you decide you want one of these sites here are a few places to find them: Read the rest of this entry

There are lots of paid to post opportunities available. In this post I will cover one which is a little different. Mylot is a forum where people post about all manner of topics.

To encourage visitors and post activity, the Mylot team have added a compensation plan. The plan is in two parts:

Firstly you get paid for each thread you start. About 8c for each topic started.
Secondly you get paid for each response someone else makes to your thread. About 3c for each response.
Thirdly you get paid each time your reply to someone elses thread – in this case 5c per reply.
Finally you get paid for each referral – Refer friends. For each person you send to myLot you will receive 25% of their earnings.

I know what your thinking – not a lot of money to be made here. Your right it wont make thousands of dollars per month but it is quite possible to make a hundred or so on a regular basis.

Heres some issistrative examples:

As a starter assume you make 300 posts per month and you have introduced 20 people to the program.

So you make ten posts per day for a month and for each post there are 3 replies (Total income per post = $0.08 + 3x $0.03 = $0.17) – thats an income of 300x$.017 = $51.00 for the month
Add the income of 20 people at 1 post per day over the month thats 20 x 30 x $0.17 x .25 = $25.50
giving a grand total of $76.50 for the month.

Ok so now lets assume its time has marched on. Lets say you now have 100 people who you have introduced to Mylot and lets assume that you don’t make any posts at all.

Your income would be 100 x 30 x $0.17 x .25 = $127.50 per month.

As you can see a nice residual income can be built if you can introduce other people to the program. On the basis that each person you introduce will make you roughly a $1 per month then a thousand people could generate 1000 per month.

This program is free to join and anyone with a reasonable grasp of English can make enough to cover advertising/hosting costs plus change for the month.

The program is especially good for new commers to internet marketing. This is a good way of starting from scratch and earning the seed capital with which to fund other essentials like advertising and webhosting

I’ve been told that video websites can be a good money earner. After finding a post on the topic in the Digital Point forums that was such good value I decided to reprint the whole post here.

The post is rather long and now old, but contains some excellent information.

Kudos to Mark Cook from Digerati Marketing for publishing such an excellent reference.

Now here is the post ………………… Read the rest of this entry

A while ago I wrote a few post about the dofollow movement – Comments DoFollow

At that time I removed the “no-follow” tag from comments on this blog as a way of saying a small thank-you to reader who took the time to comment. Feedback is always welcome and appreciated.

While this has lead to a little comment spam, the majority of comments are on topic and relevant. So I have been prepared to remain with status quo.

In keeping with the principles of the DoFollow movement I like to keep up with what other blogs are writing in the home business niche and make a contribution if appropriate.

There are over 200 blogs to cover, so just loading them into an RSS reader isn’t that useful. Read the rest of this entry
