How to Make Money on the Internet

There are many ways of making money online (if one is interested) - I'm just talking about the basic idea of making money, regardless of the amount.

You can sell products, your own or somebody else's as in affiliate marketing; write articles; offer ad spots if you have a website or blog; place ads onto own site such as Adsense and/or any other; submit images to stock-sites; host videos... frankly, the options are wide and varied if one care to look.

With so many avenues available, how do we have access to them all or get wind of new outfits? Some smart marketing is making sure we have access to such information. There are companies out there that collect and disseminate news about new players in the market. One such is sterkly network. If you have an outfit that needs some exposure, this site may be able to help.

Boosting Site Traffic

It's always interesting to see what kind of searches hit your blog. Going through the analytics yesterday brought a surprise or a shock, rather. What is supposed to be a good clean post about the Bible, seems to attract something not so 'clean' (no offence to anyone). The post attracted a search for "KL wives looking for sex partner". Egad! KL wives need help! Perhaps this post has made a convert or two?



Still on analytics, the post on 25 Most Stylish Couples last week, gave me a pleasant surprise.



When I noticed a spike in traffic during the day, I wasn't sure what was happening. As a long shot, I googled the post-title and found it placed at #2. People must have been googling this item after they watched the show on Channel E! the night before.

Traffic is good. The spike in traffic yeilded extra Adsense earnings on the blog.
I'm not complaining. Now that the hype has died down, the ranking has since dropped a couple of notches and traffic is back to normal.

For anyone hoping to make money online, it is important to note that traffic is important. I noticed that whenever there's more traffic from the US, the Adsense earnings go north. Perhaps it's because people in the US do more shopping online and need to check out ads. Whatever the reason, it's not a bad thing. Did I mention that I received my first Adsense cheque?
