Daily Blogging Tip #3 & #4
December 29, 2007
I apologise to those of you who came to Dean Saliba Dot Com looking for part three of my Daily Blogging Tips, my laptop decided that this would be the ideal time to go and die on me so I am resorting to having to use a rather old PC in the corner until I can get myself a nice new shiny computer.
To make up for this incident I am going to make this post a double post and will include both part three and part four of Daily Blogging Tips here.
Daily Blogging Tip #3 is called 5 Essential Blogging Tools and is written by Shawn Wallace from shawnw.org.
Daily Blogging Tip #4 is called 7 Ways to Brand Your Blog and is written by Jordan from mamablogga.com.

9 Ideas To Earn An Income
December 12, 2007
There are many ways in which it is possible to earn an income on the World Wide Web these days, you could write a blog, sell products, you can even try running a dating website. Today’s article will try and offer you nine ideas to earn an income online
1. Product Blog
Pick a niche (subject) and then post on a regular basis about your chosen niche. Some niches are better than others (I suggest iPhone as a good starting point) so it is better to pick a niche that has longevity and wont fizzle out in a month or two (like a holiday niche).
2. Dating Website
Dating websites are a good money-earning opportunity due to the amount of people who are looking for their soulmate. These types of sites can be set up with a simple turnkey script but I do strongly suggest making your own template to stand out more.
plentyoffish.com earn around $10k a day thanks to having Adsense on their dating website.
3. Made for Adsense Website
If you do not care that owning a MFA site will see you labelled as scum then Made for Adsense might be an avenue for you to take. These sites are specifically made for Adsense adverts. You create a site, put up a bunch of pre-written articles, slap up some Adsense banners and hope and prey the money comes in.
These are low maintenance and a lot of people earning money online dislike them and their owners.
4. Affiliate Product Website
Are you good at selling products to people? This is a massive market but it is also the one that requires the most amount of work. You basically create a sales page and then drive as much traffic to your sales page as possible in the hope that visitors will read your sales page and wish to buy your product.
5. Start A Forum
This is something that I have seen others do that has earned a nice amount of income. Pick a topic and build yourself a forum, I advise you to make sure it is a popular topic that people will want to sign up and talk about.
It will take a bit of time because you need to drive traffic to your forum and get people to sign up and post, once you get a decent-sized community going then the income should start arriving.
6. Arcade Site
This is something that I have wanted to do for a long time but have never got around to doing it as of yet. Everybody loves to play games, no matter what type of genre you are into there are plenty of games to keep you indulged for hours.
Although these kinds of sites can be highly popular they are also one of the most notoriously low-paying ways to make money as most people are so engrossed in playing that they pay no attention to the adverts.
There are a few sites around that offer full arcades for quite a reasonable price.
7. Design/Coding Service Site
Are you good at designing logos or websites? Do you have no problems getting to grips with coding? Then offering your services to other people may be a line of income for you.
This is a difficult niche to get into as most small sites want stuff done for free and the big ones who can afford to spend money have normally got their own designers and coders who they have been using for years.
8. File Hosting
This is a terribly competitive niche as there are many big sites fighting eachother and it is very difficult to make some real money unless you happen to offer some innovate an quite unique features.
9. Web Directories
The one thing that websites and blogs want is traffic and part of our process to get traffic is to submit our sites to as many website diectories as we can lay our grubby little hands on.
You can make money from advertising and selling premium listings, again this is a difficult thing to get started but once you get you self a reputation and decide which PR ratings you will accept then it will get easier.
Well there you have it, nine ideas, I do have more ideas which I will save for a second article sometime later on this week. If you do try any of these (or you have tried any of these) then I would be interested to hear if they worked for you or not. Feel free to post a comment letting us know your expeirences.

Life Away From Google?
December 10, 2007
Sometimes people leave Adsense, maybe they have become disillusioned with Google or maybe they found themselves kicked out for breaking one of their basic terms of service (the amount of people who do this is staggering, do they truely believe Google won’t check?).
There are many alternatives companies these days, in fact I once came across a blog page that listed an amazing 135 advertising networks and the blog author did not even list Google!
I am not going to bamboozle you with that knd of enormous list, what I intend to do is break them down for you into managable amounts for you to digest. And I too will not list Google.
Adbrite
Adbrite is probably the advertising network I have been with for the longest amount of time, even longer than Google. The main thing I liike about Adbrite is that they accept small sites and don’t insist on thousands of impressions a month to qualify.
The only major downside is that you really do need a bit of traffic to earn any significent money.
Clicksor
Clicksor has a repuatation for paying very low amounts for clicks. They also insist on websites generating at least 5,000 unque visitors a month (this was not the case when I joined).
They boast that they offer contextual advertising but this is only true if your site has ceertain content, I run a music blog and the ads are not music-related in the slightest.
They offer payout via PayPal which makes them incredibly popular with oversea websites.
Auaction Ads
Auction Ads is a lot different than the normal run-of-the-mill advertising network, for a start they show Ebay auctions instead of company adverts.
Everytime someone wins an auction that was shown on your site, you earn revenue. It really is that simple.
Text Link Ads
Text Link Ads server text link ads on your website. This is perfect fo webmasters who do not wish to clog up their websites with advertising banners and boxes. They also offer advertisers traffic and search engine benefits.
More coming soon.
