Understanding your reports on Google-certified ad networks

2012-02-06T08:44:00.001+05:30

Since launching a new report to show you how much you’re earning from Google-certified third party ad networks, we’ve received questions from publishers around how to make sense of the numbers they’re seeing. Some have let us know that they’re now blocking lower-performing ad networks based on revenue per thousand impressions (RPMs), a practice which can actually have a negative impact on overall revenue. Today, we’d like to take a moment to address your questions and provide more guidance around understanding your reports and blocking specific ad networks.
Let’s first talk about analyzing RPM figures. If you’ve ever tested color combinations for your ad units using channels, you’re probably used to comparing the RPMs of each channel to determine which one is most effective. Then, once you find the most effective combination, you remove all the other options and only use the optimal one. This works for channels, but it’s important to keep in mind that with Google-certified ad networks, the same approach doesn’t apply.
It’s true that in both situations, RPM represents the estimated earnings you'd accrue for every thousand impressions you receive. However, when you test layout options with channels and remove the ones that don’t perform well, this action doesn’t directly impact the dynamics of the ad auction. Picking a blue background over green won’t automatically remove certain ads from being eligible to appear in that ad space -- it just helps certain ad spaces perform better. With Google-certified ad networks, RPMs are dependent on the available ad inventory. Blocking an ad network will remove eligible ads from the auction, and so we strongly recommend against blocking ad networks solely based on RPM. Let’s look at an example:

Ad networks	Impressions	RPM
Network A	10,000	$1
Network B	14	$3
Network C	1000	$0.50

Network B has the highest RPM and appears to be outperforming the other networks. It’s important to note though that this metric is based on only 14 impressions and might not reflect the same revenue for the next 1000 or 10,000 impressions. The value of impressions can vary widely, so the RPM for a small number of impressions can be misleading.
Network C has the lowest RPM. However, blocking Network C because of this might have a negative impact on revenue. This is because our system will always maximize the value of every impression in an auction -- if an ad from Network C appeared on your pages, it was because any other eligible ads that could have appeared would have generated less revenue for you. By Blocking Network C, another network with a lower-paying bid might win the ad auction instead.
In general, blocking reduces the number of ads participating in the ad auction, which can then have a negative impact on your potential revenue. Please keep in mind that blocking “low paying ads” is a myth, as any ad that appears on your page has won the auction for that space and will earn you the most possible.
At the same time, we also understand that you sometimes need to prevent ads from appearing due to the content of the ad or advertiser. You have several options in your account, which are suitable for different scenarios.
With your feedback in mind, we’re constantly working on offering you more control over the ads appearing on your sites, so watch this space for further announcements! However, don’t forget to carefully consider which ads you’re blocking to ensure that you reach your full revenue potential.

You would be surprised to see what kinds of things people are willing to pay for on Fiverr. Simply sign up for free and ad as many services as you would like. In return for finding you clients and costumers, $1 out of every $5 you make, goes to Fiverr.com as their commission. It is so easy to make money on Fiverr that it almost seems too silly.

GPT programs

GPT or get paid to programs are basically websites that will pay you for doing many different things, such as taking online surveys, completing free and paid offers, visiting website, shopping, subscribing to free newsletters and etc. They get paid from their advertisers to generate leads for them. Which means every time you complete an offer on their website, they get a commission from that specific advertiser, which in return, they share a percentage of what they earn, with you.

Although you might not make thousands of dollars with these programs, you will be able to make a decent amount of money doing simple things. The trick to making more money with GPT sites is to find and register with legitimate GPT sites, so you can have more offers to complete, since different GPT sites work with different advertisers.

Writing Articles
Fresh and quality content is what pulls in visitors to a website, which determines the success or failure of that website. So, fresh and useful content is always on demand. You can make good money writing articles online. There are hunderds of websites and blogs that are willing to pay for good articles. The best thing about making money writing online, is that you don’t need anything and you can start right away, and in most cases the results are almost instantaneous.

You can get paid anywhere from $5 to $50 and even higher for each article you write. Best way to find online writing jobs is through freelancing sites like Elance.com, Guru.com and online forums such as warriorfourm.com and digitalforum.com.

Rewriting PLR articles
Writing articles takes time, specially if you are not familiar with the topic, so you could waste a lot of time researching and learning about the subject. But, if you don’t have much time, or want to make quicker money writing articles online, you can use what are called PLR articles.

With PLR You can even write about topics that you don’t know anything about. These are articles that you have the full right to publish as your own or modify it in anyway you like. Of course, nobody would pay for a PLR article as is since its already out there, but what you can do is, change the article and rewrite it in your own words. This is an easy way to make money writing online. You don’t have to spend time researching the subject or checking this and that. It’s all done for you, you just have to rewrite it in your own words, and sell it as your own. It’s perfectly legal, and hunderds of people are making money using PLR articles everyday. You can use the same websites and forums mentioned above to sell your rewritten PLR articles.

Amazon mechanical turk
Mturk is part of the almighty amazon corporation. On AMT you can get paid for doing small tasks that can not be done by machines and computers. These are tasks that can only be done by humans, such as distinguishing the diffidence between 2 seemingly identical images, or listening to a 30 second audio and converting it to text and etc. These tasks as they are called on Mturk, don’t pay much. Most of them pay in small amounts like $0.25 per task. But, these tasks usually don’t take more than 20 seconds or so to complete, and there are thousands of them. Of course, there are tasks that pay as much as $40 per task, but, such tasks require much more time.

Paid Surveys
One of the best and easiest ways to make money online without a website is getting paid to do online surveys. Its as simple as that! first you do some research and find real and legitimate paid surveys sites and sign up with them. They will send you survey invitations through email, which you can complete and get paid for. These surveys are done on behalf of companies and manufacturers who want to know what people think of their products and services.

Most of these online surveys take anywhere from 10 to 45 minuets to complete. And depending on the length of the survey, you can expect to get paid anywhere from $1 to up to $75 per survey. One thing to keep in mind is that paid survey industry is full of scams. You need to be carfuel niot to fall for any survey scams. The most important thing to remember is that all and I mean 100% of legitimate paid survey sites are free to join. Never ever pay to join a survey site, beocutse it is a scam.

Selling on eBay
I know you probably are tired of hearing about this old trick. But, the truth is that eBay is still the biggest auction site in the world, and thousands of items are sold on it very single day. And thousands of people just like me and you are making money selling those items.
You don’t have to have thousand of dollars to invest in buying wholesale products to sell on ebay and make money. You can simply start by selling your old unused items. You might think no one would pay for an item that you have, but always remember, one man’s trash as anther’s treasure. After a while getting your feet wet, you can scale it up and maybe offer to sale your friend and family’s unwanted items for a small fee. Most of them will be happy to pay you a commission for getting rid of things they didn’t want or need anymore, and giving them money for it as well.

Online forums
Running a successful website or blog requires a lot of work and time. There is SEO to be done, content to be created, baclinks to be build and so on. A lot of webmasters and bloggers don’t have time to do all of these tasks by themselves. So, they pay other people to do these tasks for them.

You can find these webmasters and bloggers on popular internet marketing and webmaster related forums. You can offer to do simple things like commenting on related blogs with their name and link, submitting their articles for them to hunderds of article directories, submitting their website or blog to website and blog directories, building backlinks and tons of other things that are essential for running a successful site. You can make a decent amount of money doing these tasks.

Although these methods don’t require a website or any technical knowledge or experience, they all have one thing in common, and that’s the fact that to succeed with any of these methods, you have to work hard. You have to put enough time and effort into them if you want to earn money. And remember, there are many other methods like the ones mentioned above. You just have to be creative and sometimes look closer to find ways to make money online without a website.

5 Ideas For Making Money With Facebook!

2012-01-13T19:08:00.001+05:30

How to make money with Facebook? Is it really possible to make money with facebook? It seems like making money with facebook is on everybody’s mind these days. If you are one of those people who want to know how to make money with facebook, here are some ideas to help you get started in making money on facebook.

These methods don’t require you to buy anything or pay someone to tell you the “secrets”. As a matter of fact you can start making money with your facebook right now without having to spend any money at all. These are no “secrets” for making money on facebook. Simply some very basic methods that people use to make money elsewhere, but with a little work and patience you can apply the same methods to make money on facebook

Of course, like any other method to make money, you need a market for it. In this case the market would be facebook friends. The more facebook friends you have, the more chance you have of making (more)money. What if you don’t have much facebook friends?…Fortunately it’s very easy to create a massive market (friends for facebook) simply by searching and inviting others to be your friend. But, if you want to take it to the next level and automate the finding and adding friends process, there are some software that can do just that.

Ok, lets get to the point and see how you can make money on facebook. Here are some proven ways you can use to make money on facebook.

Showing ads on Facebook
With all the facebook applications that make it easy and a snap to start showing ads on your facebook, there is no excuse for not taking advantage of this method, specially if you are popular amongst your facebook friends, and have a big audience to show your ads to. Using adsense, chitika and other PPC advertising companies you can easily setup your ads and customize it to your liking. Make sure to set it somehow that it serves ads related to product and services that you know your facebook audience is interested in.

Writing a Facebook book (How To…)
Facebook is attracting more and more members everyday. And lets face it, not all of these people are facebook savvy. And even though getting started with facebook for you and I might be simple and quick, many people have problem with the basic things. Write a small and to the point e-book about facebook and how to use it. Maybe a simple step by step instruction for getting started with facebook. Or an e-book about how to use different application to make facebook experience a better one. There are many possibilities. With the huge amount of facebook apps and all the new ones that are added daily, this can be quite big. You don’t even have to pay to promote your e-book, simply use your own facebook or better yet create one for your e-book and start promoting it.

Affiliate marketing on Facebook
It’s the same idea as showing ads, but in a more direct way. Register for free with affiliate networking sites such as clickbank, Maxbounty and etc, and pick a product relevant to your facebook audience interest to promote. You will be provided a simple code which is a link with your affiliate id embedded in it. Whenever someone clicks on that link and buys the product or service, you make money by getting a commission.

You can create an entirely new facebook for that product and start promoting it there. A friend of mine is actually doing it for 4/5 different weight loss product. He created a facebook page for each product and started adding friends to his facebook. He writes short posts about the product and posts it on his facebook with his affiliate link in it. Hi is making a couple of hundred dollars a month doing this. I know it’s not much, but for something that doesn’t cost you a dime and takes about 30 minuets to setup, and takes about 20 minutes or so a day to run, I don’t think it’s a bad deal.

Blogging about Facebook
There are already some people doing it. But there is always room for new voices. Get a free blog over at blogger and use Google adsense (which is already integrated in blogger, so even if you don’t know how to show ads on your blog, you can set it up with couple clicks) to show ads on your blog and make money that way.
When you established yourself as an authority and a trusted person for anything related to facebook, you can get some sponsor and maybe use affiliate networking sites to find and promote facebook related product.

Create and sell a Facebook application
If you are savvy enough and know your way around, why not use your skills to make a facebook app of your own and sell it to facebook users? Again, once you made it, you can use the same strategies mentioned above (blog or a facebook page for the app) to promote your app.

There you have it, 5 ideas you can use to make money not only on facebook, but you can also apply the same ideas to Myspace, Twitter and other social networking platforms to make money. If you know of any other ways to make money with facebook, please use the comment box below to share it with us.

A. a 160×600 Skyscraper with text ads, placed on the left or right side of the page.
B. a 336 x 280 big Rectangle with text ads, placed on top or middle of the page.

Colors of the ad sense block
An important aspect of a well designed ad sense block is it’s colors. While you may not want to trick people in any way, shape or form into clicking on ads, using the right colors and blending the ads with the content of your page, will make the ads appear as though it’s part of it, and not an unrelated subject. A simple example would be using a white background ad sense block with no borders, on a page with white backgrounds, which perfectly blends the ads with the content, thus giving your Ad sense an increase in click through ratio.

High paying keywords
Using high valued and reach keywords in your content is the number one way to ensure that ad sense will serve ads with high paying keywords, which means you will earn more for each click. Which would you rather have: a page with 10 keywords which pay $0.02 a click, or 2 keywords that pay $1.00 per click?… Of course that doesn’t mean bombarding your content with non related and nonsense keywords. Not only that will not attract any new traffic, but you also will risk losing your loyal readers as well. All that said, keep in mind to not write for ad sense, but always write with your readers in mind, with an eye on reach keywords.

SEO (search engine optimization)
Search engine optimization or SEO not only helps your site’s ranking and status, but it also can contribute to your ad sense earnings if done properly. Here are few example of SEO:

A. Robots.txt file- An often over looked yet very effective method for SEO.
B. Meta Tags- Use meta tags that defines the content of each page.
C. Site Map- Create a sitemap file for your site using Google webmaster tools or any other tools you use.
D. Meta Title- Using meta title will make it easy to know what your content is about.
E. Title- Using a short but very descriptive title for your article, which is one of the first thing search engines see, is considered very important.
F. Navigation- It has been proven that a navigation menu placed on the left side is more effective than the conventional top navigation.

Costume search box
By having a Google search box on your site, not only you are giving your readers a convenient way of searching Google right on your site, but also you have the chance to earn money by any clicks generated by the users, on ads displayed on the search result page. It’s like having your own google search site, and getting paid for searches performed on it.

Ad links
A new feature that has been added to ad sense recently, is ad links. It can be a great tool for increasing your ad sense income. It displays a couple of different links, which are determent by Google to be the best and most relevant keywords for the content of your page. Not only that, you also benefit from its anonymity fact, which makes it difficult for many reader to distinguish the links from your content, therefor increasing the click through ratio.

Targeted traffic
Last but not least, is of course the all important traffic factor. The more traffic you get, the higher your click through ratio will be. But not any traffic will convert into clicks. Quality targeted traffic is what increases click through ratio. Simply because these kinds of visitors are already looking for information offered by ad sense displayed on your site. There are many different ways to drive targeted traffic to your site. But the best kind of traffic is the one generated by search engines. Search engine generated traffic is more likely to increase your click through ratio, because these are visitors who are actively looking for such terms and keywords.

These are some simple but effective ways you can increase your ad sense earnings. But, you don’t have to stop there. As you go along, you will come to know and find more ways to make the most out of ad sense. Combine ad sense with a quality blog, and you have got yourself one of the best ways to make money online.Keeping an aye of each method’s performance can help you determine the best methods possible for increasing your ad sense click through, thus maximizing your earnings from ad sense.

How to make money with MySpace?

2012-01-13T18:56:00.001+05:30

How to make money with MySpace? Can the average user start making money online on MySpace?… A few questions that many MySpace users would like to know the answer to.

Social networking has been the biggest game changer in the evolution of online socialization. It has changed the way we receive and pass on information. In mere seconds you can send a massage to to hundreds of thousands of people around the world, and that makes the social networking sites a prime market for advertisers who are trying to get their product and services seen by as many people as possible. Companies and business have been making millions of dollars with social networking sites such as MySpace.

But, what about the average user, how can average users like you and I benefit from MySpcae financially? Is there any way that the average Myspace user like you and I can make money on Myspace?…The answer is yes! There are a few easy ways to make money with MySpace that even the average users can use.

MySpace still has loyal users!

1- Sell your own stuff
Like any other social networking site, MySpace is an excellent way to promote your own products or services. Whether you’re a freelance writer, a blogger, an artist, an SEO expert, a musician or what have you, MySpace is a great way to get the word out about your work. The most important point to remember is to not spam people. You want to establish a good relationship with people and become a trusted member, so when people need the kind of service or product you have, they will come to you first.

2- Offer a MySpace related service
There are tons of people out there that can’t do simple things like creating a MySpace account or if they do, they just dont have the time or the patience to do it themselves. You can do this for them for a small fee.

3- Sell MySpace layouts and graphics
A popular way for making money with MySpace is through designing and selling MySpace templates and graphics. MySpace layouts and graphics are always in high demand. If you can design, then why not make money with them. There are two ways to go about this. You can either charge a one time fee for a single product or better yet, you can offer your products as a package in a membership site where a monthly fee will grant people to access all of your products.

4- Sell advertising space
Social networking sites are a magnet for advertisers as they allow them to put their ads in front of highly targeted audience. Obviously, to attract lots of advertisers, you must have a large number of MySpace friends. Don’t wait for advertisers to come to you, go to them and tell them how advertising their products in your MySpace page will benefit them.

5- Affiliate Marketing
One of the most popular ways to make money online is affiliate marketing which can also be used as a way to make money on MySpace. Simply register with a couple of affiliate marketing networks like Clickbank and MaxBounty. Look for product or services that your MySpace friends would be interested in.

It is important not to start your advertising campaign right away. You need to build a relationship with people and show them you are not a spammer. Try to be helpful. Interact with your MySpace friends.

When you know that you have established yourself in your MySpace community, that’s when you can start promoting your affiliate products. You can use bulletins, messages, or comments to post your affiliate links, or you can have them appear as ads on your MySpace blog. There are many ways to do this. You just need to be creative.

The most important factor in succeeding in making money on MySpace and in fact on any other social networking site is traffic and in this case, it means MySpace friends. The more MySpace friends you have, the better your chances of making it. If you have been using MySpace for a while, you might very well have a good number of MySpace friends. But if you are just starting out, then you need to build up your friend count and that can take some time. Of course you can always add new friends by simply searching and requesting others to be your friend.

You can use also use these method to make money on Facebook or Twitter. Remember, nothing of importance is accomplished easy and overnight, specially making money online. One of the most common reason for majority of people failing in making money online is that they give up right before all of their hard work is about to payoff. You need to work hard and be patient. These two factors combined with a focused attitude towards your goal will be the deciding factors in whether or not you can make money with MySpace.

How do you make money online blogging? What do you need to start making money with your blog? It seems like everybody is making money online blogging these days. And you want to make money as well, but, don’t know where to start. Well, here is a simple 7 steps process to help you start earning money as a blogger.

To make money online as a blogger, you need to have a plan. Its not really that hard to make a regular income as a blogger, once you know what to do. The process is fairly simple and identical to any other business plan. Take it step by step, and soon enough you will be making money online blogging.

Find out people’s problems
This is the most important part of the whole process. Your goal is simply to find what people are interested, or what their problems are, and provide a solution. This process is also known as niche finding or keyword research. Use online keyword tools like Google’s keyword research tool to find out what people are looking for. If people are searching for a term, obviously that means they are interested in knowing more about it, whether its a product, service or just information. You can also use online forums, eBay, Amazon and other sources to find out what’s hot.

Find products that can solve those problems
Now that you know what people are interested in, what their problems are or what they need, its time to search for product or services that can answers those questions, that can solve those problems. There are many affiliate marketing networks out there that you can use to search and find product and services related to your niche which you can become an affiliate of and make money by sending buyers to them.

Set up your blog
I would suggest you get your own domain name and hosting plan. This way you will have control over your blog. But, if you don’t feel comfortable yet to spend money on your own domain name and hosting account (which will probably cost you lees than $10 a month), you can use free blogging platforms like blogger or wordpress.

Create quality and informative content
Now its time to provide information to attract people to your blog. Of course you have to create content related to whatever subject you have chosen in the first step. The best way to do this is to find out what are the questions that people are asking, questions related to the specif niche you have chosen. Once you know the questions, read and research to find out the answers. Now you can use those questions and answers to base your content on. Create content that are actually useful and informative.

Put your affiliate links in your blog
This is how you will make your money as a blogger. Simply place your affiliate links for the product(s) that you become an affiliate of, in your blog, between your posts, wherever appropriate. Whenever a visitor clicks on that link and buys the product, you get a commission.

Monetize your blog with Google ad sense
Another way to make money with your blog is to sing up for adverting companies like Google ad sense, and place their ads on your blog. Anytime someone clicks on any of those ads, you will get a commission. Its smaller than the commission earned by selling affiliate products, but your visitors don’t need to purchase anything in order for you to get a commission. Your commission is based on the number of clicks you get on those ads, which range from $0.10 to up to $20 or more per click!

Sell ad space on your blog
Another great way to make money with your blog, is to offer advertising space to others. As your blog grows and attracts more and more visitors, you can sell ad space on your blog and make more money with your blog.

No matter which method you choose for making money with your blog, its always a good idea to diversify. Do not put all of your eggs in one basket. Use multiple sources to make money on your blog, so if one day there is a problem with one method, you wont lose all of your earnings. Other than that, that’s basically it. Follow this simple method and soon enough you will be making money online blogging.

How to make money on eBay?

2012-01-13T16:44:00.001+05:30

How to make money on eBay was one of the first things I wanted to know about when I first started learning how to make money online. eBay was new and hot! If you would ask how to make money fast, eBay was one of the first things everyone would point to.

I had heard of many people who were already making a living selling things on eBay. But, I had no idea what to sell on eBay. I was clueless. I had no idea what things to sell on eBay. Clearly, I had a long way ahead of me.

So, I started reading and learning and went from selling unused stuff to buying wholesale and selling on eBay for a profit. It took a while to make any decent amount of money, but it was all worth it. I learned a lot of things from my experience in trying to learn how to make money on eBay. The most important lesson I learned with eBay selling is that the amount of money you can make on eBay, depends heavily on researching and finding the right items to sell on eBay.

In the past few years, eBay has changed dramatically, so did selling on eBay! But, eBay still is a great option, you can still sell on eBay and make money. Thousands of people are still making a great income selling things on eBay. You can sell anything from electronics to reports about making money online and anything in between. Getting started on eBay is fairly simple and easy. All you need to do is find out what products or services are on demand, and buy or create those products or services for a low price and sell them on eBay for a profit.

If you want to learn how to make money on eBay, here are a few ways that I have personally found to be the best ways for making money selling on eBay:

Sell your unwanted things on eBay
Everyone has things to sell on eBay! Most people start making money on eBay by gathering their unused items and selling them on eBay. All of us have these kinds of items laying around the house, garage or in the attic. A lot of those items are not going to be used any way and probably will be thrown away any way. So, why not sell them on eBay and make a little extra money no matter how small.

Offer your services on eBay
You don’t necessarily have to be an experienced web designer or a fortune teller to make money on eBay. Look deeper, there must be something, a talent, or some kind of knowledge that you possess that many people might be willing to pay you for. A simple example would be offering people who have a lot of stuff to sell on eBay, but don’t have the time to do it themselves, or don’t know how to do it, to sell their stuff on eBay for a commission. These people could be your friends, family, neighbors or anyone else for that matter.

Buy from wholesalers and sell for a profit
There are whole seller in almost any category you can imagine. You can buy a product that usually costs $10, for $2 if you buy in bulk. The most important thing to remember is to know what to sell on eBay. Choose a product that is hot and find a wholesaler. Buy in bulk for cheap and turn around and sell them on eBay for a profit.

Most beginners who are trying to learn how to make money on eBay, make a big mistake by jumping into this method without prior research. Make sure you do your research before spending money buying a truck load of items!

Use drop shipping
Drop shipping is probably one of the easiest yet most controversial ways of making money by selling stuff on eBay. Its not that easy to find legitimate drop shipping companies, but when you do, it is so easy to make money with it. You don’t have to deal with anything like handling, shipping, processing, returns and etc. You simply list the items on eBay and drive potential buyers to your listing When they buy a product, you get your commission. Simple as that!

Buy stuff from classified ads sites and sell on eBay
If you already know how to make money on craigslist, then this method is going to be easy for you. Take advantage of the “want it now” feature on eBay to find out what items are hot and on demand. Then go to a classified site like craigslist and look for those items. Many times you can buy those items for very cheap. And sometimes you may even get lucky and get those items for free on craiglists “FREE” section. Craigslist can be a gold mine if you know what you are looking for.

Making money on eBay is still one of the best ways to make money online. There might be other ways to make money on eBay as well, but, most of them will come down to the above mentioned methods, and all of above methods basically come down to supply and demand. Find whats on demand and supply it to those who are demanding it. Now you know how to make money on eBay!

Most local businesses will have no problem with that. In fact they will be happy to let you advertise their business for free.

Take your camcorder and shoot a short video of the bar and what its all about. Be creative, you want to make it as interesting as possible. Maybe ask the owner about any special event they may have, like a karaoke night or free beer for ladies night or what have you and plan to shoot your video that night to capture how people are having fun and are happy and blah blah blah. Remember, you want to make people want to come to this place.

But what if you don’t have a camcorder or cant shoot a video for some reason? No worries, you can simply take a few photographs of the bar and the crowd. Capture what you can about this place in a few pictures. Keep it simple and short.

Important: Don’t forget to place your name, website, phone number or any other info in the beginning and at the end of the video, This is how people can find you if they want a similar video made for their business. This is how you will be making your money!

Upload your video to YouTube
Now, take your video/slide show and upload it to YouTube. After all, the question was how to make money on youtube! To get the most out of your youtube video, use rich keywords that describes the video, like local bars in Chicago, best local bar in Chicago, bar in Chicago,…
Next, write a very descriptive summary of the bar and what it is all about. Simply write a review of the bar and link to the bar’s website, twitter page, Facebook Page and etc. Most businesses have a website and a page on most big social networking sites these days. If your targeted bar doesn’t have it, you just found another opportunity to make some money, offer to create a simple website or Facebook fan page or what have you. But that requires another article. Lets focus back on what we were doing.

Build a few backlinks to your video
Just like many other money making methods that are promoted online, making money with youtube require a little bit of link building. Though, in most cases you don’t have to do much. As I said, ranking locally is pretty easy. So, your video with good keywords and description will likely rank high for its keywords. But, to be on the safe side, you can build a few backlinks to the video to help it rank higher. All you have to do is write a few articles related to bars and include a link pointing back to your video (of course with your keyword as anchor text) and submit to a few top article directories. You can also upload your video to other video sites as well.

Competitors keep an eye on each other
This is all based on one very important fact, competitors always keep an eye on each other. So, pretty soon your video will be seen by other local bars. And as any sane competitor would want to do, they would want to be the one on that video. That’s where your business info in the beginning and at the end of your video comes to play.

You have got clients
Prepare to receive calls from local bars wanting to pay you to make a video for them to help them promote their business. It really is that simple. Don’t make it complicated for yourself, Just do it. You can always add things to it and make changes here and there. You will learn as you go along. The important thing is to get started.

Remember, you don’t have to limit yourself to bars, you can use this method for any other local business, as long as you can make a video of it and put it on youtube. This is a method I used and still use myself. I work as a flooring installer offline and have my own business. I used this method myself and soon I was getting calls from other floor installers who wanted me to do the same for them (they didn’t know I was also the owner of the company being advertised in the video, lol).

Again, I just want emphasize on keeping it simple. Its all about taking action. This can be a real simple way to make money selling your online video marketing services. Now you know how to make money on Youtube.

What is Amazon Mechanical Turk?

2009-12-19T10:08:00.010+05:30

Amazon Mechanical Turk is a marketplace for work that requires human intelligence. The Mechanical Turk service gives businesses access to a diverse, on-demand, scalable workforce and gives workers a selection of thousands of tasks to complete whenever it's convenient.

Amazon Mechanical Turk is based on the idea that there are still many things that human beings can do much more effectively than computers, such as identifying objects in a photo or video, performing data de-duplication, transcribing audio recordings, or researching data details. Traditionally, tasks like this have been accomplished by hiring a large temporary workforce (which is time consuming, expensive, and difficult to scale) or have gone undone.

What is a HIT?

A Human Intelligence Task, or HIT, is a question that needs an answer. A HIT represents a single, self-contained task that a worker can work on, submit an answer, and collect a reward for completing.
