Possibililties for EVERYTHING online

Don't buy in to all of the ads that say you can make money ONLY by clicking here, reading this or that and then you'll collect money. The ones that imply that 'All You Have To Do Is...'

Also - Don't buy all the crap that says you can NEVER earn REAL MONEY with clicks and read-for-pay programs.

Please beware of statements that are far off to one side of the Always-Never continuum. There are always possibilities in the middle!

Though there are even very LEGITIMATE read for pay sites out there, they usually don't provide each individual with enough reading material to make a really decent payout possible on a regular basis.

The Solution(s):

1. Basic email marketing tactics to gain referrals and build a mailing list
2. Forum promotion tactics (posting in forums and displaying the URL of your choice program in your forum signature) - combined with list-building, email follow-up
3. Traffic Exchanges, both manual and auto - combined with 'email capture' methods
4. Word of mouth, combined with email follow-up
5. Banner exchanges - combined with leading to a squeeze page for 'email capture'
(* Hint - all LIST-BUILDING TECHNIQUES, and all about EMAIL!!)

There are a lot of other methods for promotion, too, but I didn't intend this post to be about every method of promotion. I intended to make a post to alleviate some of the 'ABSOLUTE' statements that go around online all the time. Also, I thought it best to show how important EMAILING is for making money online.

Basically, you CAN TOO earn money online with ONLY "Paid To Perform" programs, however, you must still learn some of the same 'marketing tactics' that other kinds of businesses use online.

You will rarely see a windfall with just clicking, reading emails and signing up for trial programs. This is the 'scammy' part of program advertising (being told that small actions and minimal effort are all there is to making money online), however, if there wasn't a way to really earn online, all the PTC (Paid to Click), PTSU (Paid To Sign Up), PTR (Paid To Read) and PTP (Paid To Promote/Participate) programs online would just fall away completely.

The TRUTH:

These programs DO PROVIDE people with ways to earn good money.

The part of TRUTH that is missing from most promotions:

These programs require EXPERIENCE in the field of (email) marketing for individuals to actually make good money.
(*Another hint - think 'autoresponder').

Most programs only give out the 'possible' outcome of participating in the program but will not show you how to accomplish making money with the program.

In this - most PTC, PTSU, PTR, and PTP programs make a KILLING on user upgrades from NEWBIES who still don't know how to promote effectively, build a referral base and market themselves and their programs online. The sites will take the money and run. They're not breaking any rules - they're just putting out the 'opportunity.' It is up to clients, users, members to learn how the programs work.

Because of this, I am still involved in a few PTC, PTR and similar programs but I don't promote to full extent. I have other interests and am much more interested in Product Creation, Proof reading and Editing, Writing, Resales and Hard-Copy products.

The PTCs, etc., that I'm still involved with provide me with some affordable advertising opportunities, exposure for my other interests, and are beneficial to me in other ways - even if I don't upgrade and market an entirely PTC-based affiliate business.

I'm providing this information because I have had some emails recently from members I chat with in PTC/PTR forums who like my blogs and KNOW that I am present in PTC/PTR circles but they always wonder why I don't put PTC/PTR information on my blogs when I'm obviously having some success with the programs.

The truth is - because PTC/PTR isn't my main earning interest. I use these programs as part of my 'toolbox' for earning online, not as my main source of earning online.

I have made a choice not to participate fully in marketing these programs, simply because my interests and skills lie elsewhere. Frankly, I'm not very good at keeping organized with the number of PTC and PTR programs that I feel I would need to be involved with in order to earn a good living. That's my downfall - I don't organize my sets of programs well, so it would be a disaster for me to make these programs my main source of online income. I engage more with 'already organized' programs, downline builders, and affiliate centre programs instead. These programs keep everything organized FOR ME.

People who do well with PTR and PTC-ing seem to be very VERY good organizers! A few of my acquaintances are still baffled as to why I don't 'get on their boat' but the truth is - They are more organized and more creative with organizational methods than I am. They have organized their autoresponders, PTC/PTR Lessons for referral training, and are organized with providing help to the participant of the programs they promote.

I caved and looked for easier programs, plain and simple. I post on blogs and 'wing-it' with whoever comes by to read my material. My PTC/PTR Peers stay in better contact with their 'list' of readers and participants.

Which brings me around to the first points on this blog post. My acquaintances who are earning good money with programs that most people label as 'distasteful' and 'total scam programs,' are doing so in legal, organized ways. They are using the same kinds of tools and methods that many other fields of marketing and money earning use:

Autoresponders, email marketing, list-building.

I'll let readers think about this for a bit while I go check my email - I made sure to send out a few emails to 'friends' to let them know that I finally posted on my blog about the validity of PTC/PTR-ing. Hopefully when they visit the blog, they will feel supported now!

Nu Url : Program Review





Nu Url is a site that has an affiliate program while offering the benefits of shortening your ref-links, blog links, website links, and other links so that they won't be tampered with.

Their site is very easy to navigate and the shortening of URLs involves a simple process of basically only 3 clicks. (Only 3 more clicks to make SURE that you are organized in your members area).

You can't get much simpler than that!

Nu Url .us - Turn Your Long URL into a Nu Url !!

After you log in, just:

1. Click the 'Create Nu Url' link
2. Enter the Url/ref-link that you want to protect/shorten
3. Click the 'Create Nu Url' Button....

Voila! Your link is created.

Okay okay - so you want to stay organized?

Click on the 'Members Area' link and your newly created URL will be in a list. You'll be able to 'edit' your link here - meaning - 'Name your link' using the edit feature so that you can easily tell which link is 'which-from-what-not' among the list.

From your Members Area, you can also 'reset' your link-hit count by clicking on the 'reset' icon directly beside each individual item. This won't reset everything, so it's great for tracking specific ref-links but not others - it's up to you.

Maybe you want a daily count on one site but a weekly count on another. If so, only re-set the daily onces that you're interested in tracking that way...simple

Beautiful!

Nu Url .us - Turn Your Long URL Into a Nu Url !!

Also, from this area - you can view the Nu Url-made link or your original link so that if you forget where in the heck you put your ref-link data , you don't have to worry. Both bits of info waiting for you in your Members Area.

Did I mention that Nu Url will PAY YOU for using their program? Yep - they pay out, too, which is a bonus with this program. I would use their tracker service even if they didn't have an affiliate opportunity! The Nu Url system is just SO EASY to use!

So, that's my review...

I love the

LOVE THE PROGRAM!

Nu URL ROCKS!!!

Nu Url - Turn Your Long URL Into a Nu Url !!

If you're not tracking your links yet, how are you going to know how much traffic you're receiving to your site, blog, program, etc?

Start Your Online Business Today





It's not secret to those who know me - that my favorite program for MONTHS is the Resell Rights For Newbies program by Liz Tomey and John Hostler.

Resell Rights For Newbies

I mean - even if you find that 'Resell Rights' aren't for you - the free videos that Liz and John have made available are second-to-none! The videos walk the viewer through every stage of what it takes to set up a simple online Reseller business. You can change the 'reseller' part anytime you want and do some other 'niche' or area of business online.

The plain truth of the matter is:

In order to become really successful with a sustainable business and online earning, you'll need a website.

Luckily, Liz and John's videos show you how to deal with getting a website set up - right from selecting your web domain name and gaining a web hosting account - right on up to how to upload files to your new website, make pages where people can download from you and - best of all - how to make sure you get PAID automatically from the download page!

This program is something that you shouldn't pass up! It's free for the time being, but I'm not sure how long Liz and John are planning on allowing all of this advanced information to be had for free!
