How To Make Even More Money With Infolinks

 What I’m about to tell you does 100% work and will increase your InfoLinks income BUT it may seriously piss off any regular visitors you have. As with everything to do with advertising online each and every webmaster has their own line of what is and isn’t acceptable. I only tested this to see if it would work and won’t be using it on this blog, what you choose to do is totally up to you.

InfoLinks are my absolute favourite in-text advertising solution. In all the tests and trials I’ve done their eCPM figure consistently blows away the opposition such as AdBrite and Kontera. It’s no coincidence that I now use InfoLinks exclusively for my in-text advertising.

Even though the earning potential with InfoLinks is better than the others I’m always looking for ways of squeezing even more performance out of my ads. So when InfoLinks made available the option of having their ads single underlined instead of double underlined I just had to try it out. The results were amazing.

As web users we have become used to seeing intext advertising as having the double underline, we know what it is and we can avoid it easily. In the same respect we are used to a single underline being a regular link. If us web savvy people know that and will possibly get caught out by changing to single underlining for ads then imagine what chaos it will cause amongst your average visitor? By chaos I mean extra clicks of course, and it’s exactly what you get when you make the switch.

Moving to single underline almost doubled my CTR instantly. Almost double the CTR equals almost double the revenue as well. It’s a very easy method of making a lot more money from InfoLinks. The question is should you do it? I guess it all depends on your type of website. For example on a static content website where 90% of you visitors are new visitors then I can’t see any harm in it. It’s no more of a “trick” than doing some Google recommended Adsense blending. It will make you more money. On the other hand if you’re running a blog where the vast majority of your visitors may be regular readers, subscribers and simply people you want to keep around then I can’t recommend it. I don’t think it would take too many mistaken clicks where people think they are going to get one of your posts but get an advert instead to turn people away.

So what do you think? It’s extra income but would you be prepared to do it?

How to Make Money Online With Website Flipping

What does flipping a website mean? Website flipping is one of the ways some experienced website makers, make money online. The concept is pretty simple. You make a website, then you sell it, hence the word “flipping.” Although this is an industry that requires some experience already, as it involves creating on the spot websites with good domain names, it serves to be one of the ways to make money online; if, of course, you know how to do it efficiently. The only downfall of website flipping is that there are some start up costs.

Requirements for Website Flipping

• Knowledge on how to transfer files and domains over to a new buyer
• A web host to host all the websites
• Expenses on the domain names/yr

How to Make Money Online With Website Flipping

There are many resources on the web where you can go to sell websites instantly. Here are a few resources you can go to, to get involved in the market and get a glimpse of what websites are in demand and what kinds of websites sells.

• Flippa
• Digital Point

Take note of what type of websites, webmasters are looking to buy. Like for instance, acne based websites are coming and going pretty good at the moment. [WTB] is short for “Waiting to Buy.” Take note of [WTB] posts as they are buyers who are looking for certain types of websites. Targeting these type of opportunities are great to make a quick buck.

How to Start Web Flipping

Web flipping is a really simple process that after the first time and a bit of practicing, it becomes a really easy routine to make money. It is as simple as picking out a niche and really finding the right web template for the theme of the website, and just literally trying to make the website look complete to entice web buyers to buy. The concept is rather simple but what is the most hardest process of it all, is really looking for that “right” domain name. Because if you could find a good domain that has potential, that can already double up your website value twice over.

How to Find Good Domain Names

There are two types of domain names. Domains for the purpose of branding, for being memorable like Google for example, or good 1-2 worded keyword stuffed domains for the purpose of ranking in the search engines. In most cases, domains that are 1-2 worded are preferred as they are more easier to remember. The more likely case scenario is to go for the more memorable domain as most of the time, the 1-2 keyword stuffed domain is already taken and website flipping is really all about how quick you can come up with a domain that has potential and selling it for the best price. Picking out good domain names is a practice you need to master in order to really profit time wise, from website flipping. Making website flipping lucrative, requires some practice.

How to Make a Site Look Complete

Your number 1 goal when website flipping is trying to convey buyers that a website has potential by making your website look complete. Content is the number 1 thing that makes a site complete because without content, a website holds no purpose. So writing one or two unique fully blown posts to convince website buyers, overall can be a great strategy to convince buyers that this is the real deal. Remember. What people see and like, they buy. Website flipping is really all about understanding the trends and delivering appealing websites in regards to the trends. If you got that down, your bound to make plenty of sales with the crowd hungry website buyers looking to establish themselves somewhere. All it takes is just a little bit of practice.

How to Make Money Online With Facebook

Facebook is the world’s second biggest website in the entire world right before YouTube. Can you believe that? If you have been part of the Internet Marketing world for sometime now, you would know that any traffic-heavy website is an opportunity to make at least some decent cash. Facebook can be used for both personal use or business use. The opportunities with a traffic-heavy site like Facebook are endless. There are many ways you can approach Facebook and monetize it. Knowing that Facebook is a free social networking site that anyone can use, it sets many opportunities for many individuals to benefit from it both socially and financially depending on which way you approach it.

How to Make Money With Facebook

There are a variety of options you can take in pursuing your conquest of making money from Facebook. Both requiring some sort of skill or knowledge in order to make money off Facebook. Lets start off with the first option: making money from developing Facebook applications.

Developing Facebook Applications: If you are experienced in developing useful applications for the social networking site Facebook, consider it as a free opportunity to make some cash. The most biggest ever sold application from Facebook was the application Where I’ve Been that has been sold for $3,000,000. Consider this purchase a success story to many Facebook application developers out there wishing an opportunity like this is to come for them too. Not only has this purchase from the original developer (Craig Ulliott) changed his life financially, it inspired many developers that Facebook can actually indeed be a great place to showcase applications and collect viral attention like the application Where I’ve Been that was sold for 3 million dollars to TripAdvisor. What this purchase really demonstrated was that Facebook may actually be the real deal where experienced developers can be rewarded for their hard effort of making useful applications. Nowadays, you could find that many people are willing to hire experienced Facebook app makers to make a useful Facebook application in reminiscence to this deal in hopes of making it big.

Even if your objective is not to sell your Facebook application if you plan on creating one, you still can make some money from your application. However, it includes incorporating ads within your Facebook application. Ideally this method of making money is great for Facebook game developers because games generally have a higher click-through ratio.

Facebook Groups: The first thing that comes to mind probably when you are thinking about a Facebook group is a huge community. A huge community where Facebook users from anywhere around the world can socialize and share tips, ideas, and more right? If you learned some few things about Internet Marketing, if you learned anything at all, you should know that anything that involves a large community is an opportunity to make money. I’m not talking about puny groups that only have 100 or 1,000 members in it, I’m talking Facebook groups that have over 50,000 and sometimes even 1,000,000 members – the real deal. How is it is possible you say? It is not as hard as you may think.

In order to obtain a large group with more than tens of thousands of members, it takes a bit of patience and common knowledge. First off, you know that Facebook is a social networking site, which means you know people are on Facebook to socialize. Your first step is to use that knowledge to your advantage and attract socially active people with proper techniques such as:

• making a group on the most recent hot buzz (e.g Pants on the Ground – original). It can grow tremendously quickly. For the group ‘Pants on the Ground’ you can see that it has grown to a massive 1.6 million member group. Just 7 days from the original make of the video.
• making the group name fun and interesting that makes people want to click on it
• making the group fun and edgy
• having a clear theme on what the group is about

These are all the things you need to work on to get your group ready and running active. Everything else to get your group running in the initial stage of your Facebook group may require some background work to get your group pumped; such as inviting friends, running an advertising campaign to join your group, join similar groups and recruit, & etc. Once you have your group down and is beginning to grow periodic per day, that is a good sign. The idea of making money from Facebook groups is to accumulate enough interested readers on a specific topic and when it is the right time, use your power as the group administer to disclose sites of your own or related offers where you the affiliate can benefit financially. This technique of money making is sort of like blogging except you are given the resources on a traffic-heavy social networking site to accumulate a large community anytime, within a smaller time frame to make more money.

How to become an affiliate and earn compensation for your Facebook efforts? I recommend joining Commission Junction or ShareaSale.

For the most part, most Bloggers already have their own Facebook pages because large social networking sites like Facebook, can make a huge impact on sales. That is why many marketers try to follow the most up-to-date hot trends and try to relate to it. And whenever they get the chance, they act because it is free publicity you know? Who would pass on free publicity right?

Take a Survey on MySurvey and Contribute to the People of Haiti

You have already probably heard about the wreckage in Haiti. Although we know many Americans are faced with tough economic losses, there are many other ways to contribute to the cause without having to financially donate to Haiti – instead, you can take surveys from MySurvey.

MySurvey is currently having an awesome opportunity for people who want to donate to the cause to Haiti but can’t because they are in tough economic hardships, be able donate to the cause of the disaster without having to donate their hard earned money. This in turns benefits everyone even if a person cannot donate.

Haiti relief donations will go to several things that you can read here. Although Haiti donations have reached over 40 million dollars I believe, it is nowhere near enough to fully aid the cause. Their main primary need now is money for better disaster preparations.

Registering for an account and participating in the MySurvey community panel allows you to donate money to the cause or lets you keep your points for you to cash out whenever you want. Donating is just an option you can choose to spend your points on. Whenever you reach a certain quota, you can either cash out or donate to local charities, or in this case, Haiti.

You can register to become a survey panel member for the MySurvey community here for free. For each survey you complete, you earn certain amounts of points that you can redeem for cash prizes for yourself or for local charities. Also, another cool thing about joining MySurvey to actively participate in their community is that for every time you login to your MySurvey account, you are enrolled in their $10,000 sweepstakes automatically. As they say, the more active you are, the more “chances” you have in winning the $10,000 sweepstakes.

If you don’t have time to actively participate in the MySurvey community nor do you have the money to sacrifice to aid the cause, you can donate in a different way. You can donate blood to the victims of the Haiti earthquake if you qualify to be a blood donor here.

If you would like to directly donate to the cause, you can either text “haiti” to 90999 to donate $10 to Haiti relief on your mobile phone ($10 will be added onto your phone bill) or you could donate to the cause via through the official Red Cross website. For more reputable charities you can donate to, click here.

4 Solid Ways to Make Money With a Software

A software is absolutely a great utility for users. Have you ever use Paint? That is just one example of a software that a lot of users enjoy because of its simple quality of being an all around a great coloring tool, cropping, and a resizing tool.

There are many other capabilities to a software too which you can ultimately utilize to your own benefit to perhaps even pull in some serious cash while you are at it. Although some software may require a down payment, (ex. Photo Shop, Sony Vegas) you can easily reclaim your investment and use the tool in such a way to continue to make even more money as simple as that. Many people fail to realize that there are many industries crying for great web designers, logo makers, graphic designers, and etc in web communities all over the world. And with our current century of the Internet boom, tons of opportunities will be flying to your doorstep. Although you are not limited to web designing in particular, remember that where ever there is demand, is an opportunity to make money and with a software, it can make your life a whole lot easier.

1. Provide a service – Services are a great way to recoup what investments you have made to buy some of the tools you need to make even more money. An example of a great money making service is logo making. Although it requires to buy tools like Adobe Photoshop, some really skilled designers get paid anywhere between $100 – $1,000 for each logo they create. For a basic logo creator, it can be anywhere between $5-$100 (still a nice sum).
2. Become an affiliate – Create a partnership with the original software creator and become an affiliate and promote their product to make nice commissions for each sale you make. Almost every software owner agrees to partnerships like these because there are no losers in the deal because when you make a sale, you make commission as well as the original developer.
3. Sell your own software – Create your own software or invest in a software developer to create your very own software in markets where people are willing to pay big bucks to automate repetitive tasks. When selling your own software, there are many variations to making money from your software. You can require only a 1-time payment or ask for some compensation for every major update, or just go with each idea individually. Another possibility is to have a monthly fee or use credits as a way to continue to harness even more money consistently. Owning your very own software and selling it, gives you a mountain of opportunities to make even more money.
4. Create a freebie – Create a freebie software to generate a email list with targeted buyers who are interested in your softwares so you can later market your more serious products. A lot of marketers use this tactic to ensure they maximize the usage of the word “free” to the best of their ability to make even more money. With softwares, you can use this technique too.

To look for more insights or ideas as to what is currently a huge demand over the web, I recommend surfing around large web communities such as forums, technology news, and all things related to the Internet.

Five Profitable Ways to Sell China Imported Products

This is a guest post written by Corry Cummings

Home based import export businesses are exploding in online popularity. In these current times, many Internet sellers are taking advantage of the opportunity to import products and goods cheaply from China and resell them in the United States of America for enormous profits. Taxes are minimal, and in buying from an outside wholesaler you save incredible amounts of money and open the possibilities for a huge volume of profit. There are several ways to go about operating your import export business. Many entrepreneurs do so online, and choose to sell their products of choice to consumers via e-commerce sites. Because there are so many of these sites in this age of technology, it helps to know what direction you should go in and what to look for when deciding upon an ideal site with which to sell your China imported goods.

Five Profitable Ways to Sell China Imported Products

eBay: eBay is the most popular online commerce venue. Millions of sellers use this site to sell or auction off theirimported products from China. The advantage of eBay’s open market is that you can research your product of choice ahead of time before importing it from China. You can choose a hot trend item that would sell to a wide market of consumers, or you can choose a niche item that would sell only to certain circles of shoppers at higher prices.

Personal Website: Setting up your own personal store website can be a lucrative and attractive way to advertise and sell your products. With current advances in technology, website design is becoming simpler and increasingly user friendly. It is also becoming one of the more popular ways that China importers choose to sell their product, as you are not required to pay processing or subscription fees to a larger e-commerce site. It also allows more creative control, as you aren’t working through a middle man website.

CraigsList: CraigsList can be an ideal market for importers looking to sell hard to find niche products. Potential customers who frequent CraigsList are typically seeking out specific goods and will most likely come across your ad more quickly. The number of shoppers on CraigsList is enormous, so it can prove to be a very successful and profitable e-commerce choice.

Kiosk: Rather than selling online, you can choose to sell your imports in person using a Kiosk. You can choose to set your Kiosk up in a mall, airport, or other heavy foot traffic areas (provided you are allowed to do so). This puts your products right into the interested or bored patron’s eye, as it is placed in a location where they must pass on foot. It also gives you face to face access to multitudes of peoples that vary in age, interest, and personality. Kiosks have been a popular selling venue for importers for many years.

Small Business Establishment: An option that is much like the Kiosk (though sometimes requiring larger financial investments) is starting up either a home business or renting office space or a building in which to sell your imported goods. The benefit to owning your own physical business establishment is that, in meeting potential customers face to face, you can know them on a personal level and be more able to cater to their interests and sell your China imports.

How to Make Money Online With Fiverr

Fiverr is a website that probably not many people know about and the reason why I am mentioning about it today is because it has great potential for anyone to make money from there. But the catch is, everything is for $5. Sounds pretty simple right?

In other words, Fiverr is a growing marketplace where any individual can purchase, sell, or trade services, similar in ways to other freelance websites except they follow a unique business model which separates them from the rest – the $5 rule.

What makes Fiverr such a great place for anyone to make money, I mean absolutely anyone, is because there is no limit to what you can offer/sell. You’d be surprised how different the marketplace is opposed to other freelance websites. Just looking around their marketplace as I write, I see people offering logo designing, poetry, T-shirt designing, advertising, video marketing, graphics, and much more. They even have a category named ‘Silly Stuff’ and here are just some of the examples that reside in this fun-packed category. “I will make you laugh for $5,” “I will cast a spell for $5,” and, “I will make a video ranting about anything or anyone you want for $5.” The openness and variety of services available in Fiverr is simply amazing and astonishing at the same time. You’d be surprised what kinds of services are available and at what people are willing to buy because I sure was.

One of the biggest reasons why Fiverr is quickly becoming the marketplace for all individuals is because of their overall business model and scheme of their website that makes the atmosphere just perfect for almost any individual to start selling their products or services and start making money – although the scheme of the site sort of reminds me of Twitter (But, simplicity is always good). With most marketplaces, there would generally be only certain amount of services such as web designing, logo designing, and programming which of course requires some level of skill and if you offered something out of the ordinary, most of the time no one takes you seriously and you are left with bad remarks. But here at Fiverr, you will see that they offer services that other freelance sites have and much more. At Fiverr, you’d see many people even purchase services such as writing, poetry, and other fun stuff that people may reconsider posting on other freelance sites. This is what I believe is Fiverr’s greatest edge over other freelance marketplaces.

What makes Fiverr out shine the rest of the marketplaces is that even if you are not skilled at anything such as web designing, logo designing, or programming, you know the general freelance services you see on other sites, there is still always opportunities for you to make money. Creativity is all you really need to start making money at Fiverr. There is absolutely no limit to what you can sell at Fiverr and start making money. The sky is the limit.

Make Money From Google AdSense with a Free Website

There are many ways to make a website for free online, and there are just as many ways, if not more, to make money online. This article brings the two together with specific examples and results in a simple 4-Step process for setting up a website and making money online with Google AdSense.

If you haven’t already signed up for the Google AdSense program, now is the time to go and do that.

Step 1: Planning Your Website, and its Content

The simplest way to make money from Google AdSense is to choose a niche topic with little competition and dominate the search results for the main keyword phrase(s) used in that niche. For this you will need a niche, a set of 5-10 keyword phrases you are confident in ranking for, and a means to creating compelling articles around these keywords.

To find keywords in your niche that people are using you can use the Google Keyword Tool, simply enter a broad search term and it will display a list of relevant search terms along with monthly search volume. You may need to repeat this process with different broad search terms to end up with a list big enough to take to the next stage of evaluating the competition.

Now, back in Google you will take each of your keyword phrases you discovered from the Keyword Tool and perform a search for each, with the resulting list you will first look to see which types of content are making the top 10 results. Good indicators include deep links on websites (for example http://example.com/dir1/dir2/article.html), or Web 2.0 properties such as HubPages or Squidoo. If you’re seeing a lot of these in the search results it is likely that you will be able to outperform their rankings and get some traffic for the keyword. Not so good indicators include Wikipedia pages or Domain home pages (such as http://example.com).

The next step is determining how many links each of these results have in order to get a benchmark for you to compete with. Open the Yahoo! Search Explorer and enter each of the top 10 URL’s from the search results, click the “Inlinks” button to show all the links pointing to this page, and then filter results (Using the “Show Inlinks” drop down) to “Except from this domain”. This shows you, generally speaking, how many links you will need to get to your page in order to compete with this search result. There are other factors such as where the link is coming from, the authority and anchor text for the link but we won’t go into too much detail right now.

After completing this process you should have a list of 5-10 keyword phrases you can compete with in your niche, now it’s time to plan your content around these terms.

Plan on creating one super high quality article around each of the keywords you are targeting, and 3-5 supporting articles around the keyword. For example if your keyword phrase were “growing cherry tomatoes” then your supporting pages might include “soil types for growing cherry tomatoes”, “growing cherry tomatoes in pots”, “how to prune cherry tomato plants”.

On completing this process, draw yourself a diagram of how your website will look once it is complete. Here’s an example:

Step 2: Finding the Best Hosting Provider for Your Needs

There are many free web hosting providers for you to choose from, but only a few will meet the requirements you have for your website.

You will need to have total control over the installation of your Content Management System (we will use WordPress), there should be no obligation to include ads or links back to the hosting provider and enough space for your media and content.

For the most up to date list of free web hosting providers that fit these criteria visit http://www.free-webhosts.com/ and click the “Total Free Hosts” link on the left. Generally the top 3-5 listings will give you everything you need.

Also make sure the host provides support for PHP and MySQL so WordPress can run on it and either CPanel or FTP access so you can install WordPress.

Warning: Most of the free hosting providers require you to login to your account every so often otherwise your account gets banned. Be sure to read the requirements as you go through the sign up process so you don’t get any nasty surprises down the road.

Step 3: Installing WordPress, Essential Plugins and Theming Your Site.

WordPress Installation couldn’t be easier. Most free hosting accounts let you install it right from the Control Panel after you login, if yours doesn’t have this option you simply need to download the latest version from WordPress.org and upload it to your site using an FTP Client. There are many free FTP Clients available for Windows and Mac, search Google for “free ftp client” and your operating system.

If you get stuck installing WordPress, absolutely everything you need to know is covered athttp://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

You will also need to set the uploads, plugins and theme directories under /wp-content to writeable, this is also covered in the WordPress Installation Guide above.

Once WordPress is installed you need to optimize it for Search Engine Optimization, this gives you an advantage in ranking for your chosen keywords over other vanilla installations of WordPress. Simply login to your Admin area, go to Settings – Permalinks and choose Custom, in the text box enter: /%category%/%postname%/

You will also want control over how Titles and Descriptions are displayed the Search Engines. Select Plugins -> Add New… Search for “All In One SEO Pack” and Install the top result. Once installed a red box will appear in your Admin area with a link to enable to plugin and configure its settings. Click the link and fill out the settings as best you can.

Now you will need a way to manage Google AdSense Ad Blocks on your content pages. Go back to Plugins – Add New… and search for the plugin called “advertising manager” click Install and go to the configuration options . The amount of options may seem dizzying at first but this plugin allows you total control over how you integrate the Google AdSense strategy on your website. For more information on how to set this up visit the plugin home page at:http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advertising-manager/

Phew, that was a lot of work you just got through, now for the easy part of choosing a theme for your website.

Go to Appearance -> Add New Themes and search for a theme you’d like to use on your website. This is personal preference so I’ll leave it up to you. You can always come back here to try out different themes once you’ve written your content.

You’re done Installing and Configuring WordPress!

Step 4: Writing and Promoting Your Content

Now it’s time to fill your website with content, get some visitors and make some money.

From your initial planning you will create a set of new pages in your Admin area. Simply click Page – Add new and write the Title and Content for each page. At the bottom of your “Soil Types for Growing Cherry Tomatoes” you will link back to the “Growing Cherry Tomatoes” page, and from that page you will link back to your home page: “Cherry Tomatoes”. This creates themed areas of your website and helps Google determine what your pages are all about.

However, doing this by itself will not get you a windfall of visitors and cash, you need to get out there and promote your website.

Some easy, and free, methods for doing this include:

• Posting on forums that allow links back to your pages in your Signature
• Commenting on other peoples Blog posts
• Creating pages with a link back to your website on Squidoo and HubPages
• Write quality articles for other Webmasters and include a link back to your website
• Write articles and submit them to Article Directories such as: EzineArticles, GoArticles and Gather.

Doing regular promotion of your pages will earn you a top spot in Google for your chosen keywords, and with that will come visitors that click on your ads and earn you money. All of this can be done for free with nothing more than an email account and the ability to tap away on your keyboard.

How to Make Money Online Without Spending a Dime

How to make money online without spending a dime is a question that so many people would want to know the answer to. That is why I decided to write a post about what I think is a good way to make free money online.

In my opinion, the best way to make money online without spending is to offer some kind of service. It could be any kind of service, from skilled required tasks like creating logos, designing websites and writing articles to simple tasks like submitting articles to article directories, commenting on blogs and posting on forums. Offering your service to others gives you an opportunity to make money online without spending any money at all. Here is how you can make money online without spending money:

Choose a service to offer
These days you don’t have to be a professional website builder or an artist to make money offering a service. Thanks to the ever increasing popularity of the internet, a lot of people work online these days and they all have tasks that need to be done. Most of the time those tasks are very simple to execute but very time consuming. So, they pay other people to do these simple tasks for them, and hat allows them to focus on other important aspects of their online business.

For example, in order to generate traffic for a blog, a blogger has to work on many different things like search engine optimization. One of the ways to do that is to build back-links for their blogs, Building back-links can be done in many ways including commenting on other blogs and submitting articles to article directoires, both of which are very time consuming. So, bloggers often pay other people to submit their articles to article directories and comment on other blogs on behalf of them. So, when it comes to finding a simple task and offering it as a service, you are not limited.

If you need some ideas on services you can offer to make money, check out classified sections of online forums. There you can find out what kind of services people are willing to pay for and what kind of services people like you are making money with. Often times, you would be surprised by the simplicity of so many of these tasks that people pay others to do it for them.

Get a Website
In order to establish yourself and your business and have a place where people can learn more about your services and higher you, you need to have an online presence, a website or a blog. Of course, since we are trying to make money online without spending a dime, we can’t spend money on getting a website. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend any money on buying a domain name and hosting package. There are plenty of free websites and blogs you can use to build your site. Free sites like blogger and weebly allow you to build a blog or website with a few clicks of a button for free.

Use these free sites to build a simple site for your business. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy. Just a simple one page site to serve as your sales page, where you showcase your work and offer more detailed information about your services and how what you offer can help your would be customers and of course the cost of your services.

Promote your service
Your website is new and doesn’t get much traffic, how would people who need your service find you?… The best places to get the word out about your service, are online forums, especially online forums related to the kind of service you offer. For example, if you offer blog commenting and article submission, internet marketing and webmaster related forums such as WarriorForum and DigitalPoint are great forums to offer your free samples to bloggers and website owners. You can also use forums to simply get more costumers by placing an ad on their classified section, which is free and tons of people visit each day to find people who can help them get things done.

Another effective way to promote your service is through article submissions. Write a few articles related to the kind of service you offer and submit them to article directories. Don’t forget to include a link back to your website in the article, so people can easily come to your website and place orders.

Other ways you can promote your services is through social networking sites. Use your profile on FaceBook Twitter and other social networking sites to let other s know about your services. Social networking sites are the quickest way to get the word out about your business.

You can also write a press release and submit to free press release sites. Simply write a few sentence about your service and how people can benefit from using your service and submit to as many free press release sites as you can. To make your PR newsworthy, you could give a discount code or coupon for first time customers.

Give free samples of your work
To build a reputation and get your business started, offer a few free samples of your service. If you offer article writing, write a free article for them. It will let them know about your capabilities and the quality of your work. To get the most out of these free samples, offer your free samples in return for a testimonial from the customer. You can then use those testimonials on your site to let people know hat other who have used your service before think of it. Testimonial is advertising your business in a very effective way.

Take advantage of free softwares

There are so many free tools out there that can really make it much easier, better and faster for you to finish your tasks.

Get a free paypal account
How would you get paid?… Well, these days the fastest way to get paid is through paypal and most people use paypal to pay and get paid online.
