Making Noise With Zip And Email Submits

by Melvin · Nov 8, 2008

LOL… I got tired of titles with “make money online” phrase types so lets use a different one. So probably a lot of you mostly kids have never ever made a thought of jumping into affiliate marketing because of its big risk. Well I don’t want to do it too before and I just kinda started because I think I have earned about $450-$600 online then with different methods so basically I just had the startup income.

As days pass by and more and more people are jumping w/making money online, some people can say that it became more competitive and saturated as well and no doubt its true. But I can say that it has become a lot easier nowadays. Just look at email and zip submits. There are offers paying $7+ for an email and while $7 is not that big, its certainly huge for an email.ย  The great thing about promoting zip and email submits is the fact that its a low risk type. Maybe you couldn’t make 20 million in a year w/it but certainly it doesn’t take much effort on how to do it. And also there are a lot of instructions there that I have read and I believe has done a great job of really teaching people how to do it. Anyway here’s a screen shot of how I did it with Copeac(It’s not a big amount, anyway…)

If you’re out trying to learn the circles of affiliate marketing then try email and zip submits. I mean a lot of advertisers and affiliate companies are slowly embracing it and wherever you go there’s always this type of offer. But anyway Im using Copeac with it and well there’s no harm on trying their network. ๐Ÿ™‚

Sponsored Review’s Publishers Are Retarded (OverPriced)

by Melvin · Aug 20, 2008

I was surfing at the Sponsored Reviews one time and had a great look at all blogs filtered by the price of the review in descending order. I was amazed to see that many blogs listed there are overpriced and have even gone beyond $9,000 for a single review. The bad thing is that the blogs are more like junk blogs or some others have really bad rankings. Take a look: (click for larger images)

sponsored reviews retarded

Well I have about 4 blogs there and I just recently included this blog in it. I don’t really serious aboutmelvin blog taking reviews there, I just placed mine there for added exposure. For me a review is very painful and I cannot really endure it that’s why I let my cousin do it for me. But well as many people always say, paid post is one of the easier way to get some money and startup income. I can say I pretty made over a hundred there just this year.

Back again to those overpriced oxymorons, I don’t really have anything against them. I mean I can say it’s easy to game the advertisers in sponsoredreviews. I remember one time I even had a bid accepted at my multiply blog so I guess advertisers are lenient about spending money in there. Maybe someday If i need a big money so hard, then I’ll try my luck on scraping them. ๐Ÿ˜‰

What Makes You Rich The Most?

by Melvin · Aug 7, 2008

So obviously you didn’t came here saying blogging is your primary source of income right? Also you’re not planning to do it by blogging. I was looking at different blogs and different people and seeing they were making a lot of money doing things very far from blogging. We all know it’s impossible to make a living out of blogging. Yes, some people do it, name them, Darren Rowse, John Chow and more. But the thing is its very hard to duplicate the feat they have achieved. When they started, they were not so many people doing it so they were getting a lot of attention and exposure. Today, you can always write a great post and no one can still read it. That’s how www is very competitive right now.

Back to the question, what’s the thing that had made you tons of money? or maybe the most money? Some do well in joint ventures, freelancing, offering professional services and so. As many of you know, I had made some success with Affiliate Marketing. Isn’t really big, but a three figure income a month is always better than nothing. And besides that is doing it part-time. You can see, people get what they want based on how focused and determined they are. Most people fail because they tend to do tons of things at once and the result is they never accomplished any of them. My word of advice is, do what you think you’re strength is! You code superbly, then why linger with affiliate marketing? You write like a god, then why not go with freelancing? For me it’s just how those things work. Many people see always the value of having multiple streams of income but what they never see is if they can sustain positive results from them or just waste their time and effort.

How bout you? What makes you rich the most? I know you have blogs (and you won’t be reading these if you don’t have one) and that’s what you share with your readers (and that’s what pay your bills and hosting). Maybe you can share it.

The Shoemoney Shirt

by Melvin · Jul 17, 2008

Well Jeremy Schoemaker held a contest in his blog wherein one per day will win a shoemoney shirt and will be shipped to the winners house for free. Know what? I have been dying to have a shirt of him. Actually I love shirts the promote prizes, remember wtw shirt? Yes that’s true. Actually I had visited his Shoemoney store and have seen the shirt is not available for shipping outside US and Canada. Also I have looked at Ebay and didn’t find it either. Basically it’s hard to buy his shirt when you’re in Asia so I felt this is the best way I can get one and for free! ๐Ÿ™‚

Right now, I am aggressively trolling commenting at every post. Wish me Good Luck.. ๐Ÿ˜‰
