There have been many different posts as to who are the most influential bloggers and who helped you get to where you are, but my list is pretty short. Granted I read more blogs than I can list now, there were a couple of bloggers who really helped me get started, and they might not even realize they were doing so. If you are blogging because you enjoy doing so, then all you care about is getting your material published and read by various people. However, that is one of the hardest things to achieve. Traffic is not easy to come by, and even the best bloggers have had their struggles with traffic. This is somewhat a thank you post, and also a little information about how these bloggers have been helpful.

Who Are They?

Steve Pavlina

One of the first articles I read and was influenced by was an article written by Steve Pavlina. He wrote about how to make money from your blog. Not only was the article well written, but the numbers he listed in there were extremely eye catching. The fact that he was earning upwards of $1000/day from his blog was enough to intrigue me to read on. It is also nice to see a different style of writing as he writes extremely lengthy articles, unlike many of the bloggers now who write many shorter articles. Steve explains “This article is seriously long (over 7300 words), but you’re sure to get your money’s worth (hehehe).” An extremely long article, but if you have not yet read it, I would highly recommend it.

ProBlogger

What up and coming blogger has not read ProBlogger? There are so many different posts I read on his blog before starting mine that I cannot even list them. I like how he openly explains how he got to where he is now, and it seems almost unreal how successful he is now. However, one thing I do not like about his blog now, is the fact that he offers so many guest posts that it seems to take away from the whole “atmosphere” of reading material from a ProBlogger. If you have not yet read his material, I would strongly suggest doing so. There is more there that can be read, and the amount of knowledge you will gain about blogging is immense.

DoshDosh

I have read a lot of information published at DoshDosh, but the articles I think are most beneficial are those that explain how to increase traffic using social bookmarking sites. I have not used these ideas yet (to gain any substantial traffic), but the ideas are very helpful and they do work. I also enjoy a different mix of writing style and design. Another thing I like about DoshDosh is that although there is a lot of information on the front page, it is not crowded by any means. I would recommend reading his material to learn about making money online and other ways to improve your blogging.

John Chow

Love him or hate him, he has published some great content and has to be doing something right to be earning close to $20,000 per month. He also offers a unique experience as he frequently writes about cars or his dining experiences. Some people are annoyed by the amount of monetization he has on his blog, but you can easily read over it if you are interested in the content. Here is where I first read about time stamping posts, creating the opportunity to write a post and have it published the next day, week, or year if you want.

Many Thanks

Because of them, not only was I intrigued to begin blogging, but I learned about what to write and how to present it. It is my goal to be on someone’s influential blogger’s list someday.

I recently purchased a page from Million Dollar Wiki and decided that it would really not be that difficult at all to earn $100 over the course of 15 years from a page. The keywords I chose to use were maximize online income. If you take a look at my page, you will notice a few very similar things to Online Cash Flow. Basically I have created a couple additional links there and used it as a forwarding means to help generate additional traffic to Online Cash Flow while promoting a few affiliate links. This is a great way to draw a little traffic and at the same time you can promote affiliate links.

How Does It Work?

Buying a page is extremely easy. To benefit users, the admin has even compiled a list of the best keywords to use.

By creating a list of keywords for people to use, he is essentially providing you with the difficult part; naming. Along with the Best Keywords, he has also compiled lists of the following: Top Internet Keywords, Internet Marketing, Computer/Web Terms, Hobbies/Activities, and many more. You can view the complete list here.

Now that you have a keyword or phrase in mind, you click on Buy A Page. You follow along with the instructions, and voila. I was emailed a username/password within minutes, and began setting up my page shortly thereafter. The customer service has been very effective at helping me with small login troubles and other various discrepancies.

The basis of the program is similar to that of the Million Dollar Homepage in a couple ways. By purchasing a page you are guaranteed to have this page online for 15 years. At the cost of $100, that breaks down to be less than $7 a year for a page. I would be willing to guarantee that you could make that much a year from AdSense alone with no promotion to your site what-so-ever. Million Dollar Wiki was created to of course provide revenue for the administrator, but to also allow users affordable access to a website and the more publicity the program as a whole receives, the more publicity your page will receive as well.

Why Will It Be Effective?

As anything, with publicity growth will occur. When I purchased my page about a month ago, I believe there were less than 100 pages sold. Not even a month later, there have been nearly 600 purchased. What this means it that the program is really beginning to accelerate it’s growth, but for the administrator it means he’s made about $50,000 in the past month. Not too shabby. This is somewhat related to my million dollar idea post, except for the fact that he is charging something for his services.

What Else Can I Do?

The Million Dollar Wiki also has a forum, so you can introduce yourself and learn about other members and their pages as well. It is a great networking tool, and you can promote your page or other links there as well.

I figured it would be something to try, and at the cost of under $7 a year, I figured I could make back the startup costs in far less than a year.

When I started my quest to make money online, I did a lot of research and tested MANY different opportunities. After many hours of testing and working on finding out the websites where I can earn money, I finally came up with a decent list of sites that I will continue to work with. Every now and then I will continue to search for sites with better payouts or other interesting opportunities, but for now those are definitely working. Anyways, one of the people that I talked to and worked with a lot happened to be interested in making money online as well. That’s where this is going.

Simple Clicker is a website much like AdBux in the sense where you get paid to click advertisements. The reason as to why I’m reviewing Simple Clicker is because that close friend of mine is the creator and administrator of this site. It’s very interesting to know somebody who is running a PTC site, and I am 100% confident in using his services. Whether I am clicking ads or hosting ads, I am sure that I am getting my money’s worth.

So far, Simple Clicker’s success is unparalleled for such a young site.

As you can see, over 1100 members and 35,000 visitors in less than a month! I wish I had that kind of success.

Another very interesting thing you can find at Simple Clicker is a forum. Forums are great for new user introductions, payment proof images, and just talking about how to make the program more efficient for everybody. I encourage you to take a look at the program. After all, it’s 100% free to join and if you sign up through me you are eligible for discounted advertising.

Discounted Advertising

Wyatt, Simple Clicker’s administrator, explained to me that anybody who advertises on Simple Clicker who signed up through me will receive 10% off advertising costs.

Jeremy,

I will give anybody who joins 10% off advertising costs if you refer them. Tell them to email admin@simpleclicker.com and mention your name.

Wyatt

I might make a new account and pretend that I signed up through myself! Think about it like this. If you are paying Yahoo 10 cents per click to advertise, and you are spending 1 cent per click at Simple Clicker to advertise, after 10% off you are essentially spending .09 cents per click. This is a great offer and I highly recommend signing up soon before the advertisements become too saturated.

It feels great to have some time to start posting again. I suggest signing up for my RSS feed if you want to stay updated.

The top commentator for the length of my first contest was Laura. She does not have a blog of her own, but asked me to review a blog that she guest writes for, Pink Suzie. I would like to congratulate her on providing interesting discussion and being the top commentator for latter part of June.

What Is Pink Suzie?

Pink Suzie is a website ran by a person (I would imagine Suzie) and she has the option for people to write guest posts on her blog.

A very catching headline was listed as the first article, part of which you can see in the image above. The article, Teacher making $2.1m a month had to sell sex to survive in Zimbabwe, is a very interesting way to capture a reader’s attention. As well as that interesting article, Pink Suzie also has an assortment of other articles dealing with Health, Griefs & Tears, and a large category about Laura’s writings.

Layout, Navigation, Other

I would have to say the layout is very feminine, if you could not tell for yourself. On top of that, it is very easy to navigate, and fortunately the amount of clutter on the website is minimal. Given the fact that there are various guest writers, I have noticed a few grammatical errors, but that is understandable when there are so many different sources of information. Aside from that, Pink Suzie has a very nice layout, and if you are interested in writing for her, she accepts anybody as long as you follow a few rules:

Everybody is welcome to say their piece on Pinksuzie but the code is nothing obscene,against the government or anything that can get me into trouble kekeke. Just have fun,say your piece.You write on the comments and if you think you would like to post it up as a post, write new post before the comment.

I understand Pink Suzie does not have a whole lot to do with making money online, which is the point of my blog, but because of the fact that the contest was for a free review to the top commentator, I had to hold my promise. If you are interested in a review, feel free to let me know, or sign up through SponsoredReviews or PayPerPost Direct.

Also, the success of this contest leads me to believe one thing and one thing only: The next contest is not far out, and will be a little more interesting in terms of involvement. It will most likely be posted sometime tonight (Monday) or tomorrow.

As I was reading John Chow’s blog, I noticed he was holding yet another free contest. The contest is for a chance to win a 24″ Wide Screen LCD Monitor. John Chow dot Com, a blog that helps you make money is giving away a 24″ wide screen LCD monitor! If you would like to enter for a chance to win, you just have to write about it. I don’t know about you, but I would love a 24″ monitor! The contest is sponsored by BlueFur, who wants to let you know that they’re hosting Canada and the rest of the world.

I have learned a lot from bloggers like John Chow, and the contests he holds are a great way to help people out and also draw traffic to your own site.

I have been getting a decent amount of hits on the review button. However, none of these hits are turning into published reviews. Therefore, I am decreasing the Complete Website Review to a measly $20.

If you would like me to review your site, we can do it directly, or you can click on the button on the bottom of the sidebar.

Have a great night everybody.

As I was checking my email today, I noticed I had several in my inbox. A few of these emails were from fellow bloggers asking to do review exchanges. Carlocab, a 14 year old kid who has gotten into blogging to make money online, emailed me inquiring about a review exchange. If you review his blog, he offers you a linkback as well as some other great features.

I will pick a raffle winner and he wins my free e-book! Remember, this is also your chance to get a backlink on Technorati’s top 4,808 blog!

As I posted earlier, there is nothing better than increasing traffic to your blog. As long as your traffic is properly targeted, an increase of traffic can only mean good things. After looking through various pages within Carlocab.com, I noticed that he sounds like he knows what he is doing. I wish I got into blogging when I was very young. I can only imagine where I would be at today if I had done so.

As I’m trying to familiarize myself more with the blogging community, I have been reading various blogs recently. One of the blogs that I have come across is Ja Kel Daily Dot Com. He, just like many others wants to make money online and will link back to your blog if you review his blog. Jason Neuman and wife Kelly (Ja Kel) blog about making money online. They run multiple blogs, and have regularly updated information. Aside from the information available, Ja Kel Daily has a Google PR5, so a review and linkback from their website can’t be a bad thing. On top of providing a lot of useful information, he sometimes brings a comedic twist:

Our Ferrari 348 Spider is just one of many cars we have purchased with the millions of dollars earned from dot com adventures. If only it were true but it’s a rental from our trip to Vegas and the picture was taken at a rest stop on our drive through Red Rock.

Take a look at Ja Kel Daily Dot Com. Frequently updated information, and it can be useful to helping make money online.

Unfortunately, because there are so many scams out there, many people are skeptical about trying offers which require an up front fee. To be completely honest, I was very skeptical when I started as well. It wasn’t until I got paid that I figured it was an honest way to make money online. Once I got paid, I invested more time and money into the program, and the earnings showed as well.

The CEO of the company explains that the only thing you have to do to earn money is fill out simple forms. Although this is true, there is more than just mindless work to be done. There is a small amount of up front work, but once that is done, you do not have to do any work and you will make money each day if you follow the training and tutorials that eDataJob provides for you.

EDataJob is a great opportunity for anybody. Whether you wish to work solely from home, or to additionally supplement a previous income, eDataJob is great.

The figure earnings are true, but require more of an investment to make money. The reason why this program works, is that you must invest time and money into the program. You find products that are bound to make a profit, and you advertise for them. You can spend as little as 5 cents per click for advertising, and make upwards of $100 per sale. At that rate, you could have 2000 clicks before making a sale, and still make a profit. Fortunately, most of these products sell at a rate of 1 sale per every 50-100 clicks. Obviously, you can see the profit opportunity that can be made.

Granted, the earnings in that image are from spending a lot more than $10 a day advertising, but it is possible. Personally, in my first week of advertising, I was spending $10 a day to advertise, and was making upwards of $200 per sales. I don’t know about you, but I’m happy with a 2000% profit per day. Even if you do not sign up for this program, at least take a look at it.

As a benefit, if you do decide to signup for this program, please let me know and I will provide you with coupon codes for advertising of upwards of $175 FREE advertising. Email me if you have signed up and when you did, and I will provide the codes for you.
