Sorry for the lack of posts...

Sorry for the lack of posts guys, I have been pretty busy in the past few days working on a new project of mine. Hopefully by now you have all visited Donations-R-Us and given me some helpful comments. But if you haven't you should check it out and leave me a comment or two. The project I am working on is going to be taking DRU and making it a larger project. Right now it is getting low traffic and low ratings so I am revamping the project and sending it out on a larger scale. If anyone has some helpful comments please visit or email me at blogger1448@gmail.com

A little bit more about adsense!

Okay so if any of you out there are using google adsense then you know how crazy it can be. There are no human operators for the program it is all computer driven. You can contact the human support team but it is really difficult. But what I am here to tell you is to not stress out about adsense. Patience is the key. The reason I am writing this is because I just today got my PIN number from adsense! I had one before but terminated my account in order to start a new one for my new experiment and it took about 3 months to come in the mail! So if ever you are starting to feel frustrated just remember to be patient and it will all be worth it with google adsense.

Stay Healthy and Earn Cash- Wellness 360

Everyone is Health conscience these days, most likely some of you are these health conscience people. Well If you are these poeple and you are also my readers than you probably want to learn how you migh make some money by being healthy??? That's right I have peeked your interest now! Well there is a great site that I use and I strongly recommend, wellness 360. Wellness 360 is a site that pays you to input your health information and monitor your eating and exercising habits. This site is great but don't expect a giant payout every month. I have been using the site for about one year now and my profits are about $15-$20 a month. Maybe if you have a more active life than me you could make more but I would not expect to. But why not get payed for it if you are going to do it anyways!!!

Some more on Self advertising-Pinging!

Okay so here is some more information on getting traffic to your blog! One of the most important tools in self advertising is Pinging. Pinging is like sending a message to various blogging websites that are well known in the blogging community. How is this useful you might ask? Why am I sending these sites a message? Well the important thing to know about these Pings is that people are seeing them! These people will increase your traffic for you and that is the key part!

Now there are several sites out there that can help you Ping. For my post I am just going to focus on the one that I use. Ping-o-Matic! Ping-o-matic is an easy site to use. Basically put in your url, select the sites you want to ping, and then let her rip!! They also make it easy to bookmark the site and continue to ping whenever you want!!!

Pinging is a very useful and resourceful tool so use it wisely!

Cashle.com Quick Payouts!!

Okay so if you want to get paid and get paid fast then Cashle is the place for you! Cashle is a typical survey site similar to cash crate which i mentioned in an earlier post. But unlike cash crate they have no payout threshold. That's right you can do a survey and get payed $1.00 the very next day! There are alot of simple quizes on Cashle and they can each gain you about $.40 so if you have some time to kill and don't want to be obligated to earn $10.00 befoe you can cash out then Cashle is the place for you!

Another way to make Money online! myLot!!

Okay so I have a twin brother also attending the University of Georgia, and just like me he likes his extra spending money so he has been helping me with my online research and money making guides. Recently he stumbled upon a website called myLot. MyLot is just like any other social networking site really, you get friends join groups post comments and have discussions. The thing is though that they pay you for it! That's right they pay you for having discussions in a variety of different topics. Now my research into this site is very limited as of right now but thus far I have learned that they pay about .02-.05 per post or comment and that they will let you cash out at a thresh hold of just $10.00. I will post further on myLot and other websites in the future once I have done some more research on them. But this brings up an excellent point that I want to make to everyone. If you have an idea on how to make money online but your not sure if it is going to work just let me know. I am eager to try out anything online for making money and I will follow your requests up with research and a post on my blog. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and be sure to check out myLot for your selves.

Money on YouTube! and self advertising

So I have been doing some research this week about making money on YouTube. Well so far what I have found out is that there is no real way to make money on YouTube itself! That's right most of those how to videos you find on there say nothing about making money on YouTube itself. Rather, they show you how to do exactly what I have outlined here about google adsense. They do however adress a little bit of personal advertising which is what I will write about now.

So you have started a blog and gotten approved for ads now how do you make money off of these? Well first you need traffic. And how do you get traffic? Well the easiest, safest, and cheapest way is self advertising. Like you can learn in those videos and anywhere else self advertising is where you go and post your blog's url out on the web. Well YouTube is one of the best places to do that, there are also plenty of other blogs you can do it on or you could use other web sites to self advertise. The thing to look out for is spaming. If you over post your url on one site they will cut you for spaming or if you just post the url with no other somment or suggestion you will get caught for spaming.

Now when i say any other comment or suggestion I don't mean  like this

Another quick way to make some cash!

So another way to earn some extra money online is by visiting a site like cashcrate.com. They basically give you a bunch of surveys and such that you can fill out, or free trials that don't tie you down. And what they do is they pay you to do these, granted it is a very small amount of pay but if you are willing to siphen through junk mail for a few extra cents it is worth it. There are also some higher paying serveys and such but they usualy have a cost associated with them. Just be careful if you are going to use sites like these and good luck.

Some More Tips for Google Adsense

Okay so If you read my previous post about google adsense then you should know how to set up your account and how to basically get started. But some things you might not know is how to get payed. After you have your account set up there are a few things you need to do. It can be quite confusing and frustrating when you are caught up with the program so I am going to tell you know what you can look forward too. 

First make $10.00 off of your ads. Then once you do that there is some required information you need to fill out. Tax information, peyment information, telephone number confirmation, and PIN number input. The PIN number is something they will mail you it take a few days and it is just for verifying your address. Once you have all that information filled out you still won't get payed until you make $100.00. This is sort of a quality control thing, they want to make sure that you are actually activly drawing in viewers and all that. 

That is just a basic outline to working with adsense. If you have any problems getting anything to work let me know and I might be able to help. Believe me I have dealt with quite alot of "situations" from adsense but overall it is a very easy program to use.

Quick Extra Money maker

So this is a site that I found that works pretty well. The pay outs ae not huge but it is worth it. It is called myhpf.co.uk. That's right it is a UK sight but it is still good none the less. But anyways the purpose of this site is to gain research about search habits and what not. But the best part of the site is what you have to do to get paid. All you have to do is search!! That's right just search like normal and get paid for it. You get paid about a penny or two a search but if you were going to do it anyways why not get paid!! Oh yeah and they pay in euros so they actually pay you about a dollar twenty five for every euro!!! Check it out for sure it is a great program to make money while just surfing the web!!!!

Google Adsense

Well, well, well my first actual post about making money. Since this blog is being run by blog spot and all that I thought I would start out by telling you all about probably the simplest way to make money on a blog. Google Adsense!

Google Adsense is a program that uses a certain type of web crawler, a program that searches a page, to find out information about your blog and put up ads that are relevent to your blog. If you are using a blogspot blog than it is real easy to add adsense to your account. And using wordpress or any other type of blog is just as easy as well though I am only going to give directions for blogspot blogs.

First you want to log into your dashboard. When you see your dashboard and can see all the buttons next to your blogs and such, click on the link that says layout. You should come to a page that looks like your blog where you can move things around and stuff. Next you want to click on the ad gadget button which will open up a new window with all sorts of gadgets you can open. Adsense by googel should be one of their top gadgets and you just want to click add and it will prompt you to use an existing account or creat one. And depending on what you have to do creat or use an existing just go a head and do that. When your done adsense will crawl your blog and tell you if you are approved and within 48 hours you will have your first pay per click ad!!! 

So a couple of things you might have noticed in that last paragraph was that you need to get approved and that you are payed by click. Well when I say you need to be approved I mean that your blog needs to be deemed appropriate for the web and your content needs to be approved by adsense. And as far as pay per click goes, pay per click is the most common way ads are payed out. Just think of it like this someone isn't going to pay for ad space if no one is using the ads so advertisers instead pay anywhere from $.25-$.50 for a click maybe even more. the general rule I have found is that about 1/5 people who visit your blog click on relevent ads. I know that if I visit a blog I always like to click on any ads that catch my eye.

 Now that the set up is out of the way let me say a few things about running adsense on your site. There are alot of bloggers out there that do not like ads, but if you aren't one of them then adsense is perfect. But there is one thing still that you should never do and that is to start a blog just to put adsense on there. Adsense is a great way to make money but never blog just for adsense.

Now that should have you set up for starters but there are a few things that we will need to talk about once you get started. For instance in order to get paid you must first make $100 dollars, this is because they want to know that your ads are activly being used and that their program is not going to waste. Also you will need to set up all of your setting and such on your account at the google adsense page. 

These Hard Economic Times

In these hard economic times everyone is looking to make a little extra moola or maybe just save away a little extra cash. Alot of you don't kno whow to do this and this is where this blog comes into play. I am a student at the University of Georgia and I hope to begin working on my PHD in economics. Now alot of you might need some extra money, but maybe your tiem would be better spent somewhere else. That's right for most of you out there I would just close this page and be done with it because you do not need this money as bad as you think you do and your time would be better spent on your real job. But for those of you who absolutly want to know how you can make some extra cash online whether it is for fun or to pay a few wxtra bills this is a great place to learn how.

Let me explain a little why I am doing this. As I said before I am a student at the University of Georgia I plan to get my PHD in ecenomics but I need an idea to write about for my disertation. This is my study. I have spent the last year trying to learn the economics of the internet and how to make some extra dough online. There have been ups and downs in my research, but I am here to share those with you and to impart a little bit of my secrets and knowledge. In the first few months I made about $100 online running a blog, filling out surveys, and just searching the internet. But soon things began to rise and now I am making over $1000 dollars a month! In just a year I am making that much and I plan to make more before I finally get into graduate school an dhave enough information to write my disertation.

I hope that this site can help everyone who needs it and help in my research
