Take a look at that picture. Since joining that company I’ve made $1130.35 I Joined in May. My first payment date was the 19th. As you can see. I have 5 blogs in there, however I only do reviews on 4 of them. I keep the 5th one as a omg I must have that on my site I hope they accept it. As its only a 2 star.

I have 1-4 check blog, 1-3 check, and 2-2 checks.

So I have the same chance as you. The thing with sponsored reviews is make sure they update your site. My friend went from a 1 check to a 4 check once I asked them to re-evaluate her checks saying that I think her score is inaccurate.

Now my same friend told me that she NEVER gets accepted and NEVER will make anything more than $6.50 she made that one time. So I told her…let me take over your sponsored reviews and if I don’t make you more money than that I will eat my words. HER NEW TOTAL IS $84.50

Granted its not as much as me, but who wouldn’t want an extra $80 bucks?

Basically I bid on pretty much everything. You dont necessarily have to know about things to write about it just look around the site, if you cant think of things talk about it in your life. I can talk about anything if given enough time. So can you.

Text Link Ads is still a new concept to a lot of people. I had questions about monetization and how to use it.

Text link ads tell text links on your website. Kind of like their own blog roll except people pay you from $15-2,000 a month to get hosted. They take a 50% commission however, sharing a commission is better than no money at all. Since my sites are placed in the faces of people who normally would not have heard about them or know that I sell text links.

They pay you once a month via check or paypal. I receive paypal payments. I receive it split in 2, one for my selling ads on my site, and the other for referring people to their services.

Just for selling ads I made just under $500 and I still have 1 spot open again so I expect to go over 500 this month! The month is still young. I find it a great way of earning money.

Now to address another issue. I’m teaching you things I’m using on my other niches. I have stuck to everything I’ve taught or spoken on or about on this website only! After doing JUST THAT I earned over 2,000 a MONTH since opening up my targeted niche in May. ON JUST ONE BLOG! Now granted I’m no John Chow.. but the fact is how many people can say that about themselves in 2 months? Heck Johnchow was only making 800 when he first started to monetize his niche.

There is a new site called Drive Way its a file sharingsite. Which is kinda nifty since people are figuring out new ways to obtain money and offering free stuff for users. Free has always been for me.

The idea is pretty nifty you just upload to that site you get an unique url and voila you have an instant file sharing going on.

I like these things since it sucks their bandwidth and not mine. Bandwidth although has been seen to be giving out like crazy on crappy hosts. MAKE SURE YOUR HOST ISNTPURE CRAP SINCE YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT USING YOUR BANDWIDTH AND SPACE if you aren’t then there maybe something wrong with your host. You should always monitor your space and bandwidth usage, if your host is giving you more than you need or you and your entire family could possibly used and you’re not on a reseller well there may be an issue.

Okay so I’ve been making butt loads of money. Hecky I already made over 2,000 dollars and its not even the middle of the month. Oh I am fancy right?

Well So far this month I made 574$ with text link ads.

I will show you my proof please note I blocked out my other sites as t hey are not important, and i just added them in and haven’t marketing them like I have my big venture.

NAMES HAVE BEEN ASKEWED.

As you can see if you add the two together you will get $574 and I will have more coming since it takes a few days before you get credit for new affiliate sign ups. How do I do it well here are my secrets. I play with it! In all seriousness I take a look and I tons of keywords. I try to think of a new one every day.

If you were to scroll down on my keywords you would see:

baby, parenting, mommy, problogger, web2.0, technology, directory, monetize, family, fashion, blog news, blogging tips, business, celebrities, fashion, food, money, music, parenting, politics, SEO, video games, DIY, Crafts, work at home, family, friends, books, movies, B2B, marking, internet, music, dinning, cooking, recipes, house, home, gardening, home office, cleaning, gadgets, money, savings, credit cards, debt, mortgage, cars, car payments, refinancing, luxury, couture, shopping, louis vuitton, marc jacobs, fine living, pets, pet supplies, real estate, vacation, hotels, motels, shopping, apparel, footware, shoes, heels, mary-janes, books, interviews, authors, celebrities, gossip, snarky, jennifer lancaster, breast feeding, newborns, babies, diapers, women’s health

Granted yes I have a PR 6 blog but I also didn’t price my self ridiculous in the beginning.

My prices started at $65 per link they are now at $210 . I increased it over time, from 65 I went to 85 from 85 I went to 100, from $100 I did jump up to $150 and from $150 I asked to be put to 195 however I had sold my last link so I was bumped to $210.

If my site doesn’t sell an add in a week or so or I had one end and its getting a little stale I add more keywords I promote it a little bit, I play around with categories and see which ones work for me and which ones don’t. Every day a potential seller sees your site, if your site fits hundreds of different categories make sure you blast it out there. Try a new category each week. If you’re sites a blog about BABIES make sure you put it in the PARENTING SECTION and stick in that section. Granted $15 dollar links are a little harder to sell since they aren’t on the first page but no one will increase your price YOU HAVE TO DO IT! Work that alexa rank and boost it up! you can have a PR 1 but if you have your own domain and your alexa kicks ass wel lthen ask to get $75 per link.

BUT ONLY YOU CAN INCREASE IT they wont until you sell all 10 ads.
