Guest Post by Michael John Wolfe
I have dedicated the last two years of my life to finding legitimate ways to make money online and create sources of residual income. As you can imagine, I had to weed through thousands of scams and hundreds of websites that did not live up to their claims.
Rather than focus on one source of residual income – I decided to create many sources. I only had a few hours each week to dedicate to making money online, but I was able to create $900 a month in total income from all of my sources.
My first source was photography and I took some quality photos at home and while traveling. I uploaded these photos to the many microstock photography websites that are available. Within a few months I was making $200 to $300 a month from only 312 photos. Not a bad start!
The next thing that I did was start writing articles for a variety of websites that paid me each month for the advertising earnings that accompanied these articles. I was able to create $250 a month in earnings from a few select websites. The best part about these articles is the fact that I wrote some of them over a year ago and I am still earning money every month in the form of residual income. This is a great feeling!
One of the more recent ways I have found to make money on the internet is by filling out trial offers. I have found one or two websites that require you to submit your information and they actually pay you for filling out these trial offers. Now don’t get me wrong, you won’t get rich from these websites – but I do make some great residual income each month. I only really invest a couple of hours a week to these trial offer websites and I also get paid for referring people to them. One warning, if you do decide to complete trial offers do not use your personal email address! Create a separate email address just for trial offers. These trial offer companies will fill your email address with spam and advertisements.

Posted by Alan Liew 11:32 AM 8 comments Guest Post by Andy Walton
Writing content for the web can be enjoyable, satisfying, fun and hopefully profitable but it can also be hard work at times. Every writer experiences those occasions when their output slows to a crawl, and the finish line seems to drift further into the distance. I've been there a few times, so here are my tips on how to beat the block and produce a new, quality post in less than half an hour - and to prove my point, I'll write this in 30 minutes.
Get into a Positive Mindset

I've been there a few times, so here are my tips on how to beat the block and produce a new, quality post in less than half an hour - and to prove my point, I'll write this in 30 minutes.
Get into a Positive Mindset
-----------------------------------
OK, first up is your attitude. If you have a defeatist approach, you'll likely be defeated. Look at the facts - you're only trying to write 500 words, not a novel. It doesn't seem that intimidating now does it?
And remember - in less than 30 minutes you'll have a piece of work that can start earning you money. So be positive, and get thinking.
Pick a Subject
-----------------------------------
Next part is perhaps the one you consider the hardest - the topic. It's always easiest to write about what you know, especially if you want to write quickly. Research and fact checking can take time, so you're best sticking to opinions or advice. By the way, I've taken 10 minutes to get to this point.
Sketch out Your Headings
-----------------------------------
This is the bit I find the most constructive, as it allows you to see a mental path to the finish. By listing 3 or four headings, you'll be halfway towards a completed post as you can expand on each one for a paragraph or two.
Add the Flesh to the Bones
-----------------------------------
Now go back through each section and think about why you wrote that header. What point were you trying to communicate, and can you express it concisely to your reader? After all, they probably want to read as quickly as possible so be brief and succinct.
Check and Correct
-----------------------------------
Finally once you have your finished draft, read through it. Assuming your post is around 500 words this should only take the last 5 minutes or so. You're checking for the obvious spelling and grammatical errors (which your spell checker should help with), but also for any problems with the flow of the text.
At this point you also want to try to make the article as user friendly as possible, so you could perhaps add some bold and italic highlights to help your readers to scan. And at that point, you're done! And so am I, 444 words in 28 minutes from start to finish. I thank you.

5 Tips For Successful Squidoo Marketing
Posted by Alan Liew 12:28 PM 7 comments Squidoo is relatively new but it has already gained a top spot. The internet marketers love it for its social aspect and the freedom which it gives to them. Sometimes the marketers lack the edge and Squidoo can provide you exactly that. You should never ignore this great internet marketing tool.
Squidoo can help you to get more traffic to your site and blog; and getting more traffic means more money to you. There are few steps which will help you to do so more effectively. Here are those steps.
• The very thing that you would need to take care of is the importance of giving something to the viewer. You will not get the visits to your website if you are not giving something valuable to the reader of the lens. Remember that this something can even be quality information. In fact quality information is the best thing that you can give to the reader. The readers will click your link if you have succeeded to make them read till the end with interest. So make sure that you are paying special attention to the quality of the content on the lens because this is going to help you a lot.
• The profile tags are important. You will have to make sure that the tags are proper. The proper tags mean relevant tags. So if the tags are not relevant to your Squidoo, you will be at loss. You can even get your lens deleted. Apart from this potential danger, you will also be loosing many potential customers which are an unbearable loss for the online marketer. Also make sure that the relevant tags have a good search volume. There would be hundreds of relevant tags but you should find the tags which will give you high search volume. This will help you to attract more visitors to your lens.
• The lens is like a webpage and this is how the search engines treat it. So that means the URL of the lens has the same importance as has the webpage. You will have to make sure that the URL is according to the requirements of the search engines for better optimization. What are those requirements? In fact there are no requirements but there are certain things which would help you to get a good rank with the search engines. You should follow them in your lens as well. One of them is to use shorter URLs with the keywords used in the name. This one small act will go a long way and will help you. Also do link building your lens. Get lot of relevant one-way links pointing to you lens and you'll soon see your lens rank in Google and enjoy targeted traffic.
• Make sure that you are pinging. Pinging will help you to get the attention of the people. They will instantly know that you have updated your lens and that there is something new to look for.
Learn to Make Money Completing Survey Online
Posted by Alan Liew 11:20 AM 5 comments Guest Post by: Osita Modozie
The use of paid survey is a legitimate way to make money online. Paid survey is simply a method of getting paid for your opinion. You will be doing surveys for big companies like coca cola, Nike, eBay, Google, MacDonald etc. This is a form of market research evaluation. The payment method for most paid survey sites is through paypal or check and it is usually done monthly. The way it pays can be survey done hourly or pay per survey taken. You are asked questions about their products which you use and you will need to provide answers to it. The answers can be in form of “yes or no”. You may be asked questions like”how many times do you drink coca cola in a month? What is favorite Nike shoe? And the rest of other questions. These companies distribute their surveys through third party companies and you should not expect to visit their sites to find the surveys to take them.
The problem with this method is the ability to find the right paid survey companies. There are a lot of scams in paid survey filling. You may sign up with a site that offers surveys to be filled and paid, but when it is time to get paid, you may either be banned or your payment is withheld because of one reason or the other. The best way to go around this is to join a third party paid survey site. With a third party paid survey site, you will be shown lists of tested and proven to pay survey sites.
The third party survey site will also provide software which makes taking these surveys a click of your mouse. Instead of filling surveys one after the other, this software will fill the survey with a click of your mouse based on your preferences. It is this system that majority of paid survey takers use to make money online using paid surveys without any hassle.
The service is not usually free, but they offer a fair price. It usually comes with a one-time fee. Money back guarantee is also offered so you can get your money back. It is important to join the ones that offer 60-day money back guarantee. This way you can easily request for a refund if you weren’t satisfied.

The Most Important Concept of Affiliate Marketing
Posted by Alan Liew 11:02 AM 10 comments Guest Post By Dante
Affiliate marketing is an excellent way to make money online. But many affiliate marketers do not understand the first thing about affiliate marketing.
So what is the most important concept to get down? Is it building backlinks or maybe it is targeting the right keywords. Although those are important parts they are not what I am talking about.
The most important skill to get down in affiliate marketing is preselling. If you do not know how to presell your visitors at your site properly you will never make as much money as you could.
In order to presell your visitors you simply need to overdeliver to them. What most affiliates do is get lazy and throw up affiliate sites in 10 minutes only to come up short every time. We all want to make money fast and easily especially when we are just starting out.
It is very common to get all anxious and want to dominate the internet with a multi-million dollar empire. But if your visitors are not at the top of your priorities then you are losing money.
Affiliate marketing is a business and in a business you must trade value. You help the visitors solve a problem they are having and they give you some money.
With affiliate marketing you never sell. Selling is taken care of on the salespage of the merchant. You warm up the customer. Through your sites content you open up the visitors mind and inspire them to trust you and take action.
Once you build solid trust with your visitors they will also trust your recommendations. That is recommendations not hard sells.
When you recommend a product to a loyal visitor who enjoys reading your content they will most likely be interested enough to click through your affiliate link and at least check out the sales page.
But if you tried selling to your visitors right away like on the home page you might not convert as much as you could with a content rich site.
Creating content is not just to serve the google spiders so that they know what keywords to index your site under. It is your material. Your content is your unique voice. It is how you present the information that the visitors will love you for.
It is not that easy which is why you always hear other successful marketers advise you to follow your passion. When your content mixes knowledge and passion then it is almost as if the skepticism of your visitors disappear.
Everybody is naturally skeptical no matter what. Everybody has common sense and knows a scam when they see it.
So if you master preselling through your own content on your affiliate site then your conversion rates will sky rocket and the money will flow.
Of course there is more to it then that. Like how to pick quality affiliate products your visitors will like, ranking high in the search engines for a lot of targeted traffic, and proper keyword research.
