Your blog or website is really a powerful tool to help you earn bucks online as much as others do. If they can do it, I see no reason why you cannot. It all takes is just sheer interest complemented with determination.

You can make money by placing PPC or pay-per-click ad systems. This means that when people click these ads, you get a commission from it. But what can make you earn much bigger is by doing sponsored posts. You will have to write an article and promote a website's product or services, or the website itself.

But CPA (cost-per-action) or cost-per-acquisition) networks can pay you as much (or more than) you earn with the PPC systems or doing sponsored reviews. The only big difference is that with CPA, as that of Clickbooth CPA Network, you don't have to worry about the hassle of writing up an article to do a sponsored post or two. You will get paid for your every “action” done by the customer, and these actions may include a purchase, a form submission, signing up for e-mail, and a lot more, specified by the Clickbooth CPA network.

If your blog receives a very decent amount of traffic everyday, then there's a very fat chance that you be getting large commissions. Payment is done every 15 days after the end of the month, with your account exceeding the $50 threshold for the month in order for the payment to be received.

Aside from earning from the specified paid “actions”, Clickbooth CPA Network referral program will earn you 2% gross referral credit for life plus a $10 bonus for every affiliate you have referred. If you have a lot of online friends whom you can use your referral with, then that would really make you huge amount of cash, just by referring.

Blogging really helps you make money. When I told my training groupmates about how I earn money through writing in my blogs, they too want to blog. I told them what I know of making money online and they eagerly listened.

Personally I make more money by doing reviews, rather than earning from posting pay-per-click ad systems in my blog. There are various websites that offer marketplace to do sponsored reviews and they really help you make money much. One that you should try is BuyBlogReviews, a paid blogging site. What you have to do is scan the available opportunities and bid on those you wish to do reviews. When the advertiser accepts your bid, then it's time you do a post with their website link and once they approved your post, you will paid with 65% of the amount agreed between you and the advertiser.

It's that easy making money online again. Thanks to the advent of Internet!

The last time I visited SocialSpark, I admit I was kind of disappointed and was rather annoyed with the lay-out and design of the site. Although the blend of colors will really catch your attention, I was rather upset of how some of its pages load up; I had to wait for quite a few seconds to completely load those open opportunities as I switched from each one of them.

But tonight as I visited once again the site, I am now very pleased of the improvements SocialSpark has attained. To think it was just few weeks since my last visit and, well, disappointment, I am now facing a SocialSpark that is so much better than the last.

For those who do not know about SocialSpark, it is a social community that is burning with features. It is where a blogger can socialize with other bloggers, get connected by asking for that friendship connection, exchange review posts that link to each other's blogs, and it is also where money can be earned by taking sponsored opportunities, either by text or videos. Aside from building community and monetizing blogs, SocialSpark is a tool that can help improve blog traffic.

Its code of ethics include:

100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure
100% Transparency
100% Real Opinions
100% Search Engine Friendly

I am glad SocialSpark is now improving, from the spark to the flame, now it is burning hot and hotter each day. Now I have a good reason to be frequenting this site.

Do you like to write? Are you fond of putting into words everything that crosses your mind? Do you want to tell the world these stories and actually make money with your writings?

I cannot blame, nor underestimate, your disbelief the moment you read this post that by writing you can truly make bucks, as I was once like you. All I knew of a blog then is that it is where you put your entries, whether daily, weekly, and whatever suits your leisure time… and just that. But as I put it, your blog can REALLY drive you money. How?

First thing first
What is a blog? Blog is the short term for weblog, which is originally where a website puts in its important logs, just like a diary. Over time, internet users have adopted this trend, thus the bloom of the million blogs on the Internet.

Cool! I was really waiting for the last dNeero survey that I took to complete its 5-day impression generation and today I just have been sent $20.50 in my PayPal account. The past few months I really was not rooting for this kind of make money online as the payout is very small for each survey taken. But just like the saying "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" goes, every bit of earnings counts to accumulate into something big.

Although posting the dNeero surveys in my blog as separate posts with their unique titles can generate traffic to my blog, lately I found it not amusing, and it just clutters my blog. So instead of posting them in this blog, I decided to put it in my Friendster account: same money, but less clutter to my blog. And for the rest of the surveys, it will be in Friendster that I will post them.

For those of you who've not yet signed up in dNeero, it's time you start earning there.

Lately in the PinoyBlogosphere group there has been a post emailed to the group members which spoke about pay per play ads. I got curious and so I signed up immediately. The very good thing about this advertising entity is that publishers earn by impressions to their sites, and no actual clicks needed. So basically this is contrary to the usual pay-per-click ads and publishers earn bucks every time their website is seen. This breakthrough technology has the potential to produce massive residual income as traffic is the primary criterion. So if your blog or website sports a good amount of traffic on a regular basis, then these web audio ads might earn you a lot.

As far as my oblivious memory would aid me, I signed up in Smorty three months ago, back when my blog was still so infant, or should I say a “newborn”. Of course you would expect it will be denied in Smorty, and it was! What a shame.

Two days ago, I opened my Smorty account and still got impatient, as it happens every time I open my account there, as my blog hadn't been approved yet. What I did was to re-enter my blog information and then, voila, I am now a certified Smorty-er.

Smorty is a make-money site that connects advertisers to publishers, which are the bloggers. They make a significant bridge between the advertisers and bloggers so the former can advertise on blogs their products and/or services online.

If you are not in Smorty yet then it's time for you to blog for money with blog advertising. Give yourself a gift this Christmas, just like what I did... or Smorty did, that is. And if you would be kind enough to make my Christmas any happier, you can sign-up to Smorty using my referral or by clicking the Smorty button on my sidebar under Recommended.

If you're good at giving tips, why not share them to the world? Or as Daytipper says it, "Don't just tell someone. Tell everyone." With each approved and published tip you submit, you earn $3 sent to you by check or PayPal, or if you have the generous heart you can donate your earnings to charities. With that you don't only give tips for everyone to use but you actually also help these charity beneficiaries. So if you got a number of tips swimming in your thoughts, tips that are certified sure-fires based on your experience, then share it... and earn from it.

For most bloggers, PageRank has been hailed as their ultimate measuring tool on their blog's popularity, actual traffic and influence. In PPP's site it is even the primary measurement on whose blog gets what review opportunities. But with Google's nerfings on PPP's member blogs, the latter made a tool that they envision will provide real measurement for not only their member blogs but also for the worldwide blogs, as Izea (PPP's new name) describe it “a measuring stick that actually means something... we hope this becomes the most valuable site measurement tool worldwide.”

True, Google's PageRank may be both self-serving and irrelevant to actual traffic and influence, and Alexa may be inaccurate in its attempt to estimate traffic and does a terrible job when measuring blogs with smaller niche audiences, but I don't think RealRank is anywhere near any of these two traffic and popularity ranking tools. RealRank may just have been implemented to console PPP bloggers who had their PR's lowered, but PPP hasn't utilized their own RealRank yet as a way to get open opportunities in their make money site. They said that they are encouraging their advertisers to used this tool in determining which blogs will be eligible to review a product or service but it looks as if these advertisers still would prefer the PR.

For now, RealRank is still an arbitrary measure and has only provided PPP members a combination of number that signifies their current standing in that particular site. While this has not been fully utilized and considered by advertisers yet, the PR will still reign as the primary determinant for review opportunities. After all, publishers engaged into PPP because of their PageRanks (the higher the PR the more the opportunities), and now that their PR has been lowered by Google, they shouldn't be whining any amount of complaints and if they do, they better get out of PPP to boost back their PR's and hope and when they come back next, Google wouldn't meddle once again. And if they chose to stay, they should be secured with their current Alexa traffic rank as it is by far the most consoling measure that assures bloggers of the amount of traffic or visitors to one's site.

I am happy with not adding wrinkles to my face by whining on that PR downing issue. Who am I to complain? My PR has always been zero since I started blogging September of this year, and I am just glad with the numbers Alexa has ranked on me. It just keeps progressing. All this time, I still regard Alexa as the highest authority to ranks and all that...

Here's the formula to measuring RealRank, anyway.

Hear ye! Hear ye! I have a good news to all Filipino bloggers. I have received an email today from Advertlets inviting Filipinos to join their money-making site. Advertlets is a blog advertising network for Asians, with pioneering countries as Malaysia and Singapore, and which recently have built interest from Pinoy advertisers. They've launched just eight months ago and although they haven't officially launched in the Philippines yet, time will come that they'll do in the soonest time possible. They fervently hope to have around 500 - 1000 Filipino bloggers when they will do the launching, and as of this date there have only been around 150 who are members of their site, including I, and that qualifies me to receive a special bonus from them. And you too can, when you join now, as the special bonus will be given to the first 1000 Filipino bloggers who have signed up early (I am batting my lashes).

Advertlets have an estimated 10,000 blogger members and have secured blog advertisers as Starbucks, Honda, EMI Music, TV networks, local magazines, mobile content brands and a whole lot more. In Malaysia they even have monthly contests, with prizes ranging from iPod Shuffles, free movie tickets, holiday getaways, free music and CD's and more. Their top bloggers even can earn up to RM1000/month, or around PhP12,000. Nice, right? And if there will be more bloggers who will signed up to them, sponsored post opportunities is projected to come within 1 and a half months.

Join now (click here) and be the among the first 1,000 Filipino bloggers who signed up to receive the special bonus.

Why, the moment I saw those buttons that said PayPerPost on those several blogs I had hopped on when I started blogging in September I was immediately enticed merely by what the buttons spelled. It automatically created in me the urge to join the site, as the words themselves insinuated that I can earn with every post I write (PayPerPost, it says). And with those buttons posted in almost all of today's blog, who would want to be left behind? Not for a Type A person like I, and that is to mean I am an achiever and would do everything to be on top. So I jumped to the bandwagon, not only because it is what's hot but it is what's currently cool.

Now that my blog is finally approved at PayPerPost, I am now geared to dedicate more of my time in it. What I love best about PPP is the chance to earn while writing about the things you love. It is simple, and I have a great flair for writing so that would not come any difficult. Not only will I be earning with PPP while writing about matters that fall into my field of passion but also to be able to connect to other PPP members, make friends with them, create a helping relationship and drive some readers to my site. Now that's a very good package. I know for a fact that PPP is a site with a large community, so I shall be ready to meet my co-bloggers there and hopefully, gain a lot of friends. What's another good point in PPP is that you can actually donate some of your earnings to charities like American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity and Alzheimer's Walk. Imagine that, you can earn while you write and at the same time be able to help those in need?

PayPerPost is one great opportunity for those who love to write, and for those of you who haven't signed up yet, register now and be one of us.

There is one site that actually pays you to take some of their current surveys. It is called dNeero. I had known this site since I started reading my great blogger of a friend Makoy. Once you have taken the survey you just have to post the survey on your blog. Don't worry if you're asking how. They will actually give a detailed instructions how, and it's as easy as ABC.

What's good about this site is that once you have completed the survey, you'll be given pay according to the survey's alloted payment, and you can either keep that for yourself or give some, if not all of it, to some charities that they are supporting. Cool eh?

Why not take the survey? Sign up now by clicking here.
