Earn Dollars, Not Cents...
Previously I wrote about Yuwie.com paying its members to join and refer friends to the social networking site. Yuwie pays $0.15 for each referral on the first level and even lesser on the following levels. The same goes for Zenzuu so you'll only see a decent sum of money earned after like 1,000,000 page views! That's too much - who's got the time? Well, if you join Yuwie through my link, I'll show you how ;)
So I scoured the web for another worthy opportunity. And I found 6dgr.com (read: 6 degrees)!
This one pays $4 per referral on the first level, $3 for those on the second level and $2 for the third level and so on until the 6th level. That's right - 6levels!
So think of the system in numbers of 5; each person refers 5 friends and in turn all 5 friends refer another 5 friends and it goes on to the 6th level. Who doesn't know at least 5 people who wants to get paid to socialize?? Ok, even if you don't want to bother them with this kinda stuff, you can always refer to one of my *free traffic programs to kick-start it. Fair enough?
Hmm...now take a look at the earnings potential:
Just head down to it and check out the buzz! Oh, again it's free to join. Add me as a friend http://www.6dgr.com/hedaia. I'll share pointers and help you get around :):)

Freelancing Scam Alert!
I have been a freelancer for the past 4 years providing admin and secretarial services, internet research, article writing, some internet marketing support, transcription and translation services while building my Virtual Assistant business. I joined various freelance marketplaces to get as much exposure as possible before declaring myself a full-fledged Virtual Assistant.
Most of the freelance marketplaces are free to join since we get a small percentage of pay cut in exchange, while others impose a low membership fee. The freelancing community is growing fast and has seen a rising need for programmers in particular, as well as data entry, virtual assistant and SEO-related services.
However, what I want to discuss today is about an 'work at home opportunity' which required US $49.99 to sign up for. Sounds pretty normal to you? Except that for this one, you are paying just to get information on where to get freelancing projects, specifically data entry and 'simple form-filling' or emailing assignments. Like duh! Please don't insult my intelligence - what's the use of search engines??
With more and more fast money-making opportunities online, we should all make the most educated decisions before paying for anything. There is no such thing as overnight success and please don't dream of making big bucks since the first day u sign up on anything. Be realistic!
For starters, you may wish to read up on my take for a newbie's strategy - if you are into online marketing - freelancers, check out the sites to join below. Kindly note that all the following uses time-tracker softwares so you won't need to worrying about billing - they'll process it for you.

For most people, getting high-quality targeted visitors to their site is probably one of the "hardest" things to do ... unfortunately it's also the most important.

How To Earn Money Online - The Cost Effective Way
Are you new to affiliate marketing or simply want to try internet marketing? Then this is the article to read to help you get started. We're all aware that there are endless opportunities offered to everyone, young and old, to earn money online and grab a piece of this $8 billion industry.
The problem is, there are a multitude of scams, targeted at you, the newbie. So allow me to give you a good starting point with focus on free or low-cost methods. Regardless of the amount of money you're willing to invest in affiliate marketing, starting out with these low-cost methods is definitely wiser. The learning curve in affiliate marketing may take weeks, months or years for you to understand, depending on the effort you put in as well as the system and support of the programs that you join. Until you have learnt the principles of affiliate marketing, I humbly suggest that you start with small investments before moving on to more expensive programs with bigger pay-outs.
Where to start affiliate marketing?
This blog focuses on low-cost and considerably the cheapest options there is:-
2) Splash Page
What is a splash page? Oh, I bet you've seen it before! It is a page designed to "do the selling" for you where you see all those write-ups on how the program works, what freebies they'll offer when you sign-up, testimonials and at the bottom of it, is where the check-out link is.
So in essence, it is a sales page, designed to entice your prospects to buy the product(s) you are promoting. Most of the affiliate programs that you join from this blog have pre-designed splash pages with your affiliate id included in the url. You just need to include this link in all your advertisements whether through Pay-per-Click or Traffic Exchanges.
I highly recommend the latter since they're free to sign-up and your audiences are targeted so what you get are FREE TARGETED TRAFFIC!
3) Social Networking Sites
Social networking sites have thousands and millions of members worldwide and are good sources of free traffic. The fact that they create a naturally viral effect makes it easy for you to spread your word around. It is also a good platform to connect with friends with similar interests and interact with other affiliate marketing communities. Some of the sites I recommend actually pays you to refer others to join you. How good is that? :)
4) Article Directories
Submitting your posts or articles to various sites provide back-links when you include the source - your blog and this'll increase its traffic. Hubpage and Squidoo allows you to submit your articles and build a fan base from which you can get more prospects.
5) Traffic Exchange
The problem is, there are a multitude of scams, targeted at you, the newbie. So allow me to give you a good starting point with focus on free or low-cost methods.

Where to start affiliate marketing?

- Blog
- Splash Page
- Social Networking Sites
- Article Directories

1. Blog
There are a lot of sites offering free blog platforms, most popular are Blogger and Wordpress. I prefer to use Blogger for its super user-friendly interfaces as I have basic html knowledge and it'll be great for newbies as well. Wordpress is fast gaining popularity and suitable if you are comfortable doing your own fancy changes to it since it's more flexible.
Before you start promoting your blog, you should at least have a few pillar posts which will provide information to your readers. If they find that your posts provide the information they need, they'll stay for long enough to check out other deals on your blog. Update your blog regularly and submit your articles to search engines until you get traffic coming in.
Next, you can focus on monetizing your blog. There are plenty of options here like Google Adsense, for which you display ads by Google and you get paid for the click-throughs from your blog. Another popular way is to be an affiliate and sell other people's products and/or services. Popular sites for this free to join are Clickbank and Amazon. Once you have established both traffic and list, you may want to consider earning more by offering advertising space for other products. Say, $10 per small banner or text link ads for each space for a start.
The best way however, is still to advertise affiliate programs which you signed up for. Gentle reminder, start with proven low-cost programs to start with. See the links at the bottom of this post which are free to join and provides great resources for newbies. Some of which even create your own splash pages, give free rotator software and great e-books!
Any affiliate marketer would agree that having a blog is definitely essential; for free advertising and building up your list and followers.2) Splash Page
What is a splash page? Oh, I bet you've seen it before! It is a page designed to "do the selling" for you where you see all those write-ups on how the program works, what freebies they'll offer when you sign-up, testimonials and at the bottom of it, is where the check-out link is.

Traffic exchanges are great for free advertising. Created by affiliate marketers for affiliate marketers, you can be sure that your audiences are interested in what you have to sell. My favourite is Traffic Swarm since it's been helping me bring in lots of traffic and sales. Apart from that, it's really easy to use and comes with your own ads rotator software plus lots of great tools for starting out. Another fav is LeadsLeap where you can place your free text ads in the first ever viral blog.
