How to Make Money Online Without a Website

With the ever growing online businesses, money making opportunities without a website are flooding. Yes, you read that right. You don’t need to buy a domain name, secure a hosting and to create a personal website to earn hard cash online.

Here are some of the not-so-popular tips in making money online; they’re quick but not tacky.

Answer surveys

This is one of the easiest ways in earning money online without a website. This is done through participating in paid surveys or market research studies. All you need to do is to search for a legitimate survey site and register an account. Survey invitations will flood your e-mails.

Most of these online surveys need ten to forty-five minutes to complete, depending on the project’s scale. Payment depends on the length of the survey. The bigger the project the more earnings you’ll get.

Write blog articles

This has become a popular way to make money online. At present, there are hundreds of websites looking for article writers. You can earn as much as $1000+ bucks for bulk projects. If writing is your passion, this is your best avenue for earning.

Revise Private Label Rights articles

If you are an average writer and a slow one, you might want to consider this option. Rewriting or revising PLR articles might work for you. Yeah, it might not be the typical job you want to keep for a long time, but it sure does come in handy at times.

Work as a virtual assistant

If you’re into techy stuff, try working as a virtual assistant. SEO specialists and Webmasters perform various tasks to keep their client’s website rolling. Now, this is where you come in – most of the time they hire outsourcers to perform other tasks for them.

You can check out sites like oDesk.com, freelancers.com and Elance.com. There are lots of contractors on these sites just waiting for you to poke them. So go ahead and start stretching those fingers.

Fiverr gigs

At Fiverr, you can sell anything (from total nonsense to absolute brilliance) – they call this “gig”. What’s cool is that you don’t have to monetize and maintain your website. All you have to do is post a gig, wait for clients to find your stuff and wait for orders.

If you have more to offer, then post more gigs. That will surely keep you busy over the weekends.

Ad swaps

This one requires a certain degree of knowledge to pull off. Ad swapping is simply email blasting a list of user emails either to share relevant information or to sell products or a bit of both.

Obviously, you want to do both. You can either search for companies online that’d offer affiliate commissions for promoting their product, or you can sign up on affiliate sites like Amazon, commission junction and Clickbank.

Regardless if you want to do it full time or part time, earning online has a lot to do with what you got to offer. There will always be opportunities online. You just have to throw extra time researching.

Google+ Profits: How To Use Google+ To Make Money

I wonder if Google+ will always seem like the newcomer in town.  They’re kind of like someone who moves into a small town – 10 years later, people will still be referring to them as the new family. 

But seriously – so many people are still sitting back and wondering “if” they should join Google+.  People are even angry, it seems, that they have to learn one more thing. 

While the speed of change has certainly increased with social media, I’m surprised that people seem to take it so personally when a new network comes out or one of the existing platforms makes a change.  I mean – if you don’t want to keep up with it all, you have choices!  Either stop using it (and take the risk that you will slowly go out of business) or do some homework and find an outsourcing solution.  But you don’t have to be miserable every time there’s a change!

Just sayin! 

I honestly think that anyone dragging their feet on Google+ is bound to lose out.  With the way that Google is connecting social media to so many other apps, to search itself, this is another development that will forever change the way we seek and find information online.  Honestly – I think this has all of the characteristics of being big – maybe even as big as the emergence of social networking itself.

But since there are so many who don’t understand how to use Google+ at all – much less how to use it to increase your business, I wanted to talk about a few of the ways that Google+ can help you connect with prospects and customers, boost your business and increase your bottom line.

1.     Complete your profile

This is your first step to using Google+ for business and maximizing the profits you might earn as a result of this network.  Without a complete profile, people will not inherently trust you as someone to do business with.  You’ll look like you don’t care about your own business – so why should people trust you with their work?  And, you’ll miss out on valuable networking opportunities if you don’t include things like your URL in the website section, or links to thoughtfully chosen landing pages in the “pages I like” section, etc.

2.     Business Pages

Once you have created your personal profile, take a moment to create your business page.  It is so easy to forget to do this, but even if you’re branding yourself rather than a larger business with a different name, there are certain features of business pages that aren’t available on personal profiles.   You can create as many business pages as you want to, and you can custom target your marketing efforts to various segments of your niche.

3.     Communities

Google+ communities have taken off since they were introduced!  Anyone can create a Google+ community, and this is a fantastic way to network as well as to establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry.  Be sure to be an active, respectful and polite participant to get the most use out of this feature. 

What are some other ways you’ve used Google+ to boost your business?  Leave a comment below – I’d love to hear!

Google Adsense - my personal experience

is an ad serving network that allows you to create custom ads and ad channels, and display text, image or rich ads using embeddable code snippets.

AdSense ads are easy to customize and configure so that they integrate seamlessly into your blog.

In this post, I’d like to share some of my experience.

1.  How much can you earn from Google Adsense

Last month I placed a Google ads on my blog (http://how-to-make-cash-money.blogspot.com.au/.  You will notice the Google Ads on the top left side skyscraper. When people become interested in the ads and click on it, Google will pay me a small amount of ads fee. 

The revenue does not seem to be astronomical.  But it is a good way to monetise your blog and generate smart passive income.  However, you will get a good sense of satisfaction if you keep a low expectation on the initial revenue generated from Google Adsense.

2.    How to get a Google Adsense account

Lately Google has become quite stringent in granting new applications for Google Adsense.

I have heard quite a number of successful stories by following the above approach:

1) open a new Gmail account, and 
2) create a new blog linked to the new Gmail account, and 
3) post 5 articles in 5 consecutive days, and then 
4) apply for a Google Adsense account. 

However, my test experience in applying for a new Google Adsense account, does not seem to have such good luck. I lodged two subsequent applications for a new Google Adsense account on

https://www.google.com/adsense/v3/signup?utm_content=nsufv1

Google declined both applications on two separate grounds:

Case A: Insufficient content

---------------------
“Insufficient content: To be considered for AdSense, your site must contain
enough text content for our specialists to review and for our crawlers to
identify relevant ads to show on your pages. We recommend including more
complete sentences and paragraphs on your site. We require websites to be
fully launched and functioning, allowing users to navigate throughout your
site with a menu, sitemap, or appropriate links. Once the majority of your
site is complete and functional, we'll be happy to reconsider your
application.”

  Case B - Domain ownership

---------------------
"Domain ownership: To complete our review of your website, we need to confirm that you have access to the HTML source code of the URL you've submitted or were given access to AdSense via a third-party platform.

I. If you host your own website or can edit the HTML code, please complete the following steps:
    1. Access the HTML source code of your website.
    2. Create a separate page on the site and paste the snippet:”
3. Successful Application for a Google Adsense account

After these two unsuccessful application, I lodged a third fresh application using a different gmail address.  This time I filled a comprehensive website of mine (www.hayz.com.au) in the associated website box.

 

 

Very soon, Google sent an email and asked me to place some codes into the html page on the site.  After following the following steps, my Google adsense account was fully approved last month.

“STEP 1: Access your account.

Visit http://www.google.com/adsense and sign in using the email address and password you submitted with your application. If you've forgotten your password, visit: http://www.google.com/adsense/support/as/bin/static.py?page=ts.cs&ts=1054302&sct=app-api. Please also make sure you have valid contact information in your account.

STEP 2: Create an AdSense ad unit.

Visit the "My ads" tab, confirm the product selected is "Content" and click "+New ad unit" or use the guided tour: http://goo.gl/umUzL

STEP 3: Implement the ad code on your pages.

After you create your ad unit, click “Save and get code” to generate the ad code to paste into the HTML source of your website. For help implementing the code, visit our Code Implementation Guide: http://goo.gl/u4pGI
If you don't have access to edit the HTML source of your pages, please contact your webmaster or hosting company.”

4. A tip on where to place the Google Ads

Once you get your Google Adsense account approved, you can actually place your Google ads on different websites and blogs from your initial application.  For example, I used http://www.hayz.com.au in my Google Adsense application as the intended site to place my ads.  Once approved, I have now placed the Google ads on my blog (click on Layout -> AdSense)

So this is my experience with Google Adsense so far.  Do you want to share your experience in the comments box below?  I look forward to hearing from you.

Happy money making with Google Adsense!

Setting up and running an online store is easier than you think. If you know a lot about a focused niche (it could be anything from nail clippers to fighter jets), then you stand a good chance of being able to dominate the search engines, and market intelligently to your audience.

Not only are there great online store builders available, but there are also drop-shipping companies that can manage logistics and delivery on your behalf. All you have to do is sell.

Almost any business owner will regale you of stories of how difficult it is to collect payments from customers, clients and other businesses. A lot of the time, payments aren’t forthcoming simply because it is inconvenient for people to get it done – it’s not a priority.

There’s now technology that allows you to accept mobile payments on your iPhone, or other mobile device. Why not start a payment collection agency in your town?

Alternatively, offer businesses the facility to handle mobile payments if, as and when they have occasion to do so.

To make money, take a cut of each transaction, or charge a membership fee.

Get started

There’s not much to this small business in terms of setup. Your main obstacle will be meeting business owners and establishing your service. A blog, and online marketing should form an integral part of your overall marketing (i.e. door to door, flyers, etc):

1.     Get mobile eCommerce facilities using Intuit’s Gopayment

3. Free software trials and promotions

There are a lot of software companies that need to generate new business. They are often happy to offer promotions and discounts in order to generate buzz for their products and services.

In addition, many software companies are moving their software to the cloud and offering it as SaaS (Software as a Service). Why not start a blog or website that tracks and promotes great deals, free trials and free software?

Get started

1.     Pick a niche (i.e. games, accounting software, small business software, etc)

What’s nice about this business is that often there are free trials for the software you are about to review – this makes life a lot easier than having to buy it first.

Check out Top free trials, software & services for business for ideas on how to get started.

4. Local listings directory & service

Many businesses do not make an effort to ensure that their local SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and local data are properly implemented.

But, rather than trying to compete directly with Google Places for business, why not offer a directory service that also provides a local SEO boost by completing business listings in all applicable directories, as well as your own.

Charge businesses for a listing in your directory and the SEO service of updating and managing their local listing and SEO. This is a great way to earn a sustained income as you can charge an annual amount for maintaining clients’ listings.

There are a lot of guest bloggers looking to place their content on other websites.

Creating content is one of the hardest parts about building an online business, so using guest bloggers is a great way to build it up. Your job then becomes editing for SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and working out the best way to generate revenue from that content (i.e. Google AdWords, direct advertising, affiliate links, etc).

While, it’s not hard to set up your blog, it is a bit harder to learn SEO and how to make money from online content.

Facebook Rolls Out Social Search Feature

by Cadie Thompson

Source: Facebook.com

Facebook launches the new Graph Search icon.

Facebook unveiled a new social search feature Tuesday that will allow users to search their friends' content on the Facebook platform.

(Read More: Facebook Live Blog )

"Our mission is to make the world more open," said CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the event which was hosted at the Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif.

(Read More: One Thing We Know Facebook Is Working On (We Think) )

Facebook's stock took a hit on the news, while the search giant Google's stock got a bump. Yelp's stock also fell on the announcement.

"I think what you have here is a natural sell the news reaction, however, the stock has been one of the better performers of all the Internet names in the last couple of months," said Jordan Rohan, managing director and senior analyst for Stifel Nicolaus on CNBC Tuesday. "And I think as people realize that there are infrastructure achievements that may need to roll out first before the businesses can be built on the back of those, that's what matters."

He said that Facebook has a lot of upside in the long-term, in the near-term he said that mobile ads will help boost the stock.

The new feature is called Graph Search and is a social search tool, not a global web search engine like Google, that will allow users to search Facebook's social graph. However, users can only search content that has already been shared with them.

Facebook's 'Graph Search' Moving the Stock

Facebook shares are selling off on its "graph search" announcement, with David Fitzpatrick, author of "The Facebook Effect, and the CNBC's "Power Lunch" crew.

"You can only search content that has been shared with you," Zuckerberg said.

The new feature delivers information with exact answers, Zuckerberg said. For example, if a user searches for friends who live in San Francisco, it will deliver only friends that fit that search.

Hinting at a possible move into the global search business, Zuckerberg said that while the Graph search currently only focuses on people, places, photos and interests, there will be more additions in the future.

"Facebook aims to be central in many, many ways, not just for playing games and looking at photos, they want to be much more useful to their users, which is just about everybody on the web." Rohan said. "In the Internet, being central is the first point of importance, once you're central you can do what Google has done and be the Internet's great toll-taker."

(Read More: Wah? Facebook Wants You to Pay $100 to Message Zuckerberg )

Rohan said that Facebook is currently only central for social endeavors, so the new search feature will help make Facebook's platform much more central for other realms, like recruitment, dating and recommendations for shopping.

Taking a cue from Google, the social network also plans to implement auto-complete search results, where the search engine will try and guess what the user is searching before the entire search is finished being typed.

Graph Search is currently in beta, however, the new feature will eventually appear at the top of each page as a larger search bar.

Facebook users who want to sign up for the waiting list for the beta version of Graph Search can do so on Facebook's website.
