So far for the month of July I’ve already made $574.86 through Text Link Ads and its only July 11th.
Why does it work for me? Because I work for it!
If you don’t bother with things and sign up but never promote it of course it isn’t going to work for you!
When I signed up for Text Link Ads! I had a Goal I plan making AT LEAST 900 a month from it EVERY MONTH but My true goal is 2,000 for everything program I monetize my site with a month.
I made $100 dollars in referrals this month alone. Thats is 4 referrals. Do you know 4 people with blogs? Sign them up!
I went around promoting Text Link Ads I tell how much I earn I use affiliate links and I do what I can!
I sold the 10th ad on Pajama Mommy now for the 2nd time. Thats 10 spots! Heck I have people who refuse to delete their campaign with me since they got it when I was $65 and now I am $210. So yes my money should be higher, but do I mind NO! Because they’ve been there!
I have 7 sites in Text Link Ads only one sells, because I am only focusing on one. This site its all referrals, but I plan on pimping out my other sites. Remember some niches sell better than others. So I may make more than you, but you have to pimp yours out there like I do!
For example in this post alone I put 5 links to my Text Link Ads.. make that 6..and someone is bound to click on it.
But the reason why my money keeps going up is because I keep making it go up and I pimp my crap out. I dont over do it I just spread the good word. and I’ve had 6 referrals since I signed up thats $150 dollars extra. What do you have?
Hi Amanda,
I’m the developer of WP Text Ads, a plugin that lets you sell ads directly to advertisers so you don’t pay commissions.
WP Text Ads lets you sell ads by the post, home page or blog-wide. It means you have a 100% profit margin :)
I hope you’ll give it a try someday.
July 12, 2007 @ 1:18 amI would give it a try except for the point of places like these allow me to market to people who wouldn’t normally have found my site.
July 12, 2007 @ 6:25 amI signed up with them last week, but I haven’t heard anything from them. How long does the process normally take? I signed up with Kontera in half the time!
July 12, 2007 @ 10:30 amKontera made me nothing haha I had it for like 3 months so far text link ads is my main bread winner 2nd to the beta group i’m running EVERYONE JOIN IT NOW!
July 12, 2007 @ 2:18 pmHi, Amanda! Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to make money with Text Link Ads :-( I don’t know if my website sucks or what. Do you have any tips for how one can improve their website to increase their chances of getting Text Link Ads?
July 13, 2007 @ 2:11 amWhat I have found is maximizing your keywords I mean any and all keywords! Write about all sorts of different topics, make sure you keep tons of information on your site since if I were to buy I’d google the name of the site and check it out more indepth, do you have an advertising page? Do your readers interact? How many readers do you really have? If you shoot me an email I can always go further with this on you but I think I will make my how I did it guide.. might be helpful.
July 13, 2007 @ 6:22 ami never really understood how text link ads work…is it like PPP where you are given tasks to write about something and get paid? I just submitted my blogs and doesn’t know what to do next…that’s why I just keep on going on PPP since it’s easy to manage and I know what I’m doing…
July 13, 2007 @ 3:47 pmText link ads sells text links on your site
if you goto http://www.pjmommy.com you will see on the side it says sponsors you’ll see 9 links just links those are text links
underneath them the ones with the text is a separate company I am working with. I will not discuss who they are and if they are good until I see my first payment from them.
But text link ads has worked really well for me. heck I pay off 500 dollars of debt every month b/c of it hehehehe
July 13, 2007 @ 3:50 pmoh…so it means you are paid by a link you added in your sidebar then? do they pay you per click? i just got so confused trying to understand it since I submitted my blog, go thru some steps and ended up with awaiting for approval. do they send you an email if they want you to add a link in your blog or you got those 9 links by logging in and grabbing it? sorry about all these questions, I’m quite intrigued now that I learned it’s just a sidebar link and no need to compose, that’s easy job! if I can make this work.lol!
July 13, 2007 @ 4:48 pmYou only get paid for the placements.
per link per month! so if you sell a link at the begginning of the month you will get X amount of money then thats it. its unlimited clicks…but its really good earning.
test it out it takes a bit but when you put the time in it’ll work
July 13, 2007 @ 5:24 pmFor those with newish or low PR blogs, you will most likely not be accepted for Text Link Ads. High PR and traffic are major criterias for acceptance. But you can still join and sell affiliates.
Good stuff and congratulations on your impressive earnings, Amanda.
July 14, 2007 @ 7:11 amNot all the time. I have several blogs with no pr but decent alexa that were accepted.
even if you get accepted but don’t sell any ads you can still do well with referrals..
July 14, 2007 @ 7:20 amyou just have to work on getting on that first page. which they do it by alexa listings and price.
I am also confused…
Are you earning this money with the ads on THIS Blog?? Or on your other sites?
Thanks for sharing :)
July 16, 2007 @ 8:49 amIf you look to the post on top of this I show pictures of the site of which I have earned my money on.
Since this site is mainly for instruction, I don’t really go out and monetize it as others may do.
I put little ads on here and try to have the site focused on the content.
