Christmas is the season of giving and receiving presents(The actual holiday means much more then that, but for this blog, lets assume this.). Its kinda too late to give presents, so we will focus on making money from the presents you received this season.
If you received the present you like, then this post is not for you. However, if you received the present that you don't like, keep on reading.
According to ebay pulse, the most searched for item this month was Iphone. Following that were Ipod, Nintendo Wii, car insurance, Xbox360, PSP, Coach(not sure what this is), PS3, and laptop.
If you received any of those presents, and don't really like them, you can sell them for money. You can either offer the item to your friend, put it in a local newspaper ad, or the preferred method would be to sell it on Ebay.
Ebay is not only used to make money, but you can actually get the presents you want by selling your unwanted present(s). I will post tips on how to make a better sale on ebay later on, so keep on checking back.

Unique Making Money Idea - Dumpster Diving
Ever heard the expression "One man's trash is another man's treasure"? Well this idea is heavily based on this expression. Dumpster diving is going through the dumpsters to see if people threw away anything decent.
Before you laugh yourself silly, I would like to say that I remember reading a news article about a woman finding a rare painting in the dumpster. The painting was worth a lot of money, I am talking about over $10,000. So as you can see, dumpster diving actually works.
Why you can make money with dumpster diving?
The answer is simple, not everyone is smart. Lets face it, people don't know the value of the stuff they keep in their house and when its no longer needed, they throw it away. For electronics, it could be that the item malfunctions and the person doesn't know how to fix it, so they throw it away. The problem could be a simple blown fuse. Even if that is not the case, you would be surprised how much stuff Ebay has thats labeled "for parts/repair".
Things to look for when dumpster diving
There are certain things to look out for when searching through the dumpsters.
1. Popular Electronics - things like game consoles, handheld games, game cartridges, Ipods and stuff like that. Don't bother with CRT tvs or CRT computer monitors they are worthless. The only value these have is spare electronic parts.
2. Paintings - I am not really too sure about paintings but if you know about them, then pick them up. You can always throw it away later if its not worth anything.
3. Antiques - This one surprises me as well, I mean why would people pay big money for something thats old? The answer is either they are rich, or they can resell the item later at a higher price. Not really sure what to look for in this category, but if it looks interesting pick it up.
4. Collector items - These sometimes wind up in dumpsters, things like collectible cards, magazines, books. You might not need it but someone else will.
Ok, I found the item, whats next?
Well, your first choice of action would be to clean up the item from any dirt(trust me, the dumpster dirt stinks.) Next search Google for the item if you know what it is. Afterwards check eBay if someone sells something similar. If its antique, you can take it to your local antique store and ask the sales person to tell you a little about the item, mainly the price.
Well, hopefully you found this article of some use. Till next time, bye bye.

Top 4 Survey Providers - Get paid to do surveys.
Before you hit the "Back" button, understand this: It is possible to make money doing surveys.
Why? Because the companies that make these surveys need people like you to take them. The manufacturers need the opinions of average person to know what his/her interest is, and they are willing to pay for the time and effort of that person. If survey sites didn't work, I doubt people would be promoting them. After all, who needs a product that gets lots of refunds? No one does. So without further ado, I present you clickbank's top 4 survey products(at the time of this writing, and of course they include my affiliate link)
#1. PaidSurveysETC - Weekly income potential: $1,125.00. A bit costly in comparison with the ones below, but is worth it. They provide the list of online surveys that you can take which in turn allows you to earn money from them. They also provide easy to follow instructions and the webmaster is there for you every step of the way. Cost: $69
#2. SurveyScout - Get paid to drive,eat,watch, etc. Has great customer service, the webmaster is also there for you to answer every one of your questions. New members can get their first job which gives $25 right off the bat. Cost: $34.95
#3. ExpressPaidSurvey - The new kid on the block, Get paid to take online surveys, participate in online focus groups, etc. Cost: $34.95
#4. PaidSurveysOnline - Same as the ones above, get paid to take online surveys, participate in focus groups, etc. This one is probably the oldest and well established survey site on the block. The site helped 1000s of their customers to make money doing surveys. The site and directory are easy to navigate. You should definitely try this one out. Cost: $34.95.
Of course you can try to find the sites for yourself but I guarantee you are going to loose a lot of your time. Why reinvent the wheel if its already there?

Adwords Campaign suspended for PSPGamesWorld
I wanted to promote the psp games and movie download product that ClickBank has. Apparently
Google didn't like the ad so they disapproved the two ad groups. The product link is this: AllPSPgames.com.
The sucky part is that there are other Google campaigns that actually promote their product. Perhaps my ad's wording was not good, who knows.
Here is the exact words I used for the ad.
1st line: Download PSP Movies
2nd line: Unlimited PSP Movie Downloads!
3rd line: Get more out of your psp
The reason the ad was canceled was copyright. So ye, apparently they probably thought that I am promoting illegal content, however the site appears to be legal(although I have no clue how downloading any psp game is legal in itself).
The upside to this is that I haven't lost any money on this campaign.

What NOT to do with AdSense
Ok. You launched a website and decided to put some AdSense ads on it. Great idea, that means you got exquisite website thats bound to bring you a lot of money(never hurts to dream).
Where you place those ads is your decision, google has a sort of a heatmap that shows where ads are going to be doing the best.
Now here are some tips of what NOT to do with adsense account and ads.
1. No fake credentials when opening AdSense account- It means that if your name is John Smith, put in John Smith, don't use "yudo nothavetaknow" or something that isn't your name. Also use your real address. It not only will get you in trouble with google, but also IRS(or your local tax authority. If you don't have to pay taxes on this kinda thing, you are a lucky person). Treat AdSense as you would treat any other job out there.
2. Dont be a hacker or cracker - Google lets you change few parameters of their adsense code, you can only change those. Google isn't your typical "I am a leet hacker" website. You mess them up, you might as well as become a homeless bum. They have money, lawyers, and programmers that can track you down and beat the hacker out of you.
3. Don't click the ads on your own site - Unless you want your account banned. Trust me, thats a big no-no for Google. If you want to make money out of AdSense, then create interesting website with interesting content. Make the ads blend in with your site(but make sure people know the ads are from Google and that they are ads and not part of your content).
4. Don't ask people to click your ads - Same as above. If you want to beg, then dress in rags and go to New York or some other big city. You will get more money that way, and you won't be chased out of the city.
5. Don't use auto content generators - Sure Google lets this one slide for now, but you never know when they will put a lid on it. If you are out of ideas, ask a freelance writer to write articles for you. Another thing you can do is buy PLR articles(I might make a post on these in the future).
6. Don't make a page without content - Example of this is a page that has only ads. It not only looks gross, but also might get you in trouble with Google.
7. Don't use misleading labeling - Meaning if the ads are ads, label them as ads. You do not want to confuse people, as it will drive the potential customers away.
8. Do not put AdSense on the registration, thank you, or confirmation pages - Lets just say that you do not want to show people more ads after they decided to go with what you have to offer.
Well, I am sure there many other tips on AdSense, but that is all for today's post. I hope it was informative to you. And as always, my quest to make money online continues.

Adword campaign for 2 products started, plus tips that I have learned.
Well I decided to give adwords another try so I started adwords campaign for 2 products.
One product is health related, if you are interested, its called Cure for Bruxism and another is money related called Project Quick Cash. Well so far its been about 2 days and I am guessing that not a lot of people are interested in those products. I have also learned couple of cool things with adwords.
Here are my tips when using adwords
1. Don't use content network - sure you are going to get a lot of impressions, but the only thing those impressions are good for is raising the CPC of your keywords. So if you are going to use content network, then don't use search network. If you are going to use content network, then create a separate campaign for it and don't bid more then 10 cents per click.
2. Don't use broad search - again you might get a lot of impressions with this, but they are not going to convert to clicks. And if you are trying to get targeted traffic, don't use broad search.
3. Use ad groups to separate your keywords - Create an ad group for each main keyword. Lets say if your keyword is "stop tooth decay" you would create an ad group for that keyword and then add different variations of those keywords. Example: "stop tooth decay", [stop tooth decay", etc. Again, ad groups were created for an easy ad management.
4. Start with a low budget - Lets say $4-5 is more then enough. If you see that you are getting good amount of clicks, you may increase the budget to $25 or more. For max CPC, set the default to 30-50 cents, don't go overboard with this. I don't particularly care about ad placement, but if I get into 5th position or higher, then its good enough for me.
Hopefully, this was educational, I am going to run this campaign for couple of weeks, will keep you posted.

Made $113 with freelancing!
Well guys, I promised a proof that I did make money with freelancing.
Here is the actual screenshot from my paypal payments recieved.
That would be $113 in November from just 4 jobs. The jobs were pretty easy, one was to enter
messages into autoresponder, one was to post tags to forums, one was to create 10 social bookmarking accounts and finally one was to translate an email message from Russian to English.
Mostly all of them took less then a week to complete, 2 of them took only couple of hours.
Well hopefully you learned something new. Till next post, see ya.

Adword campaign finished for Affiliate Elite
Well I finished my campaign for Affiliate Elite. It was a waste of time advertising and not to mention waste of $1.87.
I had 54,961 impressions and only 23 clicks. I am guessing either too much competition, or its just not as popular of a software as I first thought it would be. Still, would have been nice to make at least 1 sale. Would have put about $70 in my Clickbank account. Oh well live an learn.
My quest to make money still continues, and I better come up with a better product to advertise next time. Not to mention writing better sales letter, and doing some keyword research, product research. Guess this just proves that there is no such thing as easy money, except maybe for adsense. Thats an easy cash right there. But this is for another topic. Hopefully this taught someone something. Till next time, peace!

Working as a freelancer guide and tips
As I promised in my previous posts here is my guide to make money freelancing. You can read more about freelancing in this Wikipedia article, but the one I am going to write about is computer programming freelance work.
First of all, there are many companies on the net that provide leads for freelance work. I mean type in “freelance” or any form of the word in google search, you are going to get a lot of results, I mean over a million. As you can see, it is one way to make money on Internet.
My experience in freelancing
I have started freelancing two years ago, but only got seriously into it about 4 month ago. During that time frame, I managed to get about $200 which is pretty good in my opinion. The jobs that I did weren’t very hard, mostly data entry. The project that paid me the most was entering messages into auto-responder. I mean the job was easy, took me only about a week to complete. I managed to get $90 bucks from the project (well I had to pay 15% to the lead provider, but I think it was worth it).The lead provider that I get my jobs at is http://www.rentacoder.com, they have pretty good customer database, and is easy to navigate the site. They do take 15% for each lead or $3 whichever is higher. But the good part is: no membership fee for coder or buyer. They only charge per completed work.
Tips for new freelancers
1. Whenever you place a bid, don’t just write, “I can do this job.” That line almost never works, especially if you are just starting out.
2. Be ready to back up your bid, perhaps have some examples of the previous work. The average amount of bids a buyer receives is about 50, so you really need to stand out.
3. Start out low, do couple of cheap jobs to get at least 10 ratings. Afterwards you can bid high.
4. Try to complete the jobs to the best of your ability, that way the customer might hire you for another job.
Well, hope this was informative. In the next post I will post a Paypal screenshot of my earnings (and yes, rentacoder has paypal payout option). Till then, see ya.

12 Days Since Creation and $1.07
Well, as of this writing, this blog is 12 days old, and has 8 posts. Not too bad if you ask me.
As for visitors, it had about 72 in the past 12 days. I managed to make $1.07 with this blog so far, so I think its not that bad, considering the lack of traffic. I will try to get more traffic to this blog, so hopefully when I do, I can make a decent amount of money from it.
My goal is to get at least $10/day with this blog. Think its possible? Check back to find out.

Adword campaign started: Update
Well, like I mentioned in the previous post, I started a campaign for one of my posts here, promoting Affiliate Elite.
So far it had ~40k impressions and only 22 clicks. I must say it sucks. Out of those 22 clicks, only 1 or 2 clickthroughs. Thats approximately 9% CTR, pathetic isn't it? I am willing to bet that if this post had 40k views, it would have at least 20% CTR. Even if no one bought that software, I would probably still make money from adsense. So all in all, adwords campaign for this product is going downhill.
Well hopefully you enjoyed reading this post. My quest to try making money online continues.
PS: I know I have been promising to write an article on how to make money with freelancing, but I just can't find the time to write it. But it will be here one day, I promise you that.

My reasoning for the above
Perhaps there is too much competition for this software, or perhaps my description of the software sucks, or its just plain too expensive for people. Whatever the case is, I am running this campaign for couple more days just to see maybe, just maybe I will get a sale.Well hopefully you enjoyed reading this post.

Adword campaign started
In my quest to try to make money, I have started an adwords campaign to advertise one of my posts. Specifically, the Affiliate Elite one.
So far it is not doing so good, I mean as of this writing, I have 5,321 impressions and only 5 clicks. And the clicks came from content network rather then keywords. I am running 11 keywords for now, but will add more later.
Well this is it from me, keep on reading this blog you might learn something.

Making money with freelancing
This is just a mini article introducing my freelancing website. The site is My freelance advertising site and like the title suggests, its a site where I introduce freelancing, and where I advertise my freelance services.
So far the traffic to that site is how should I say it, low. I mean, type in "freelancing" in google search and you will get like 5,010,000 results. As you can imagine, the competition is fierce.
I did submit the site to couple of web directories, but so far its a very little response.
In the future I will write an article about me actually making the money with freelancing.
I will post proof of my earnings and other juicy details.
Well look forward to it.

Good seo tips for blogger

LearnHowtoMakeMoney by Noii167 review
I was browsing eBay one day (actually this month) and I stumbled upon this listing:
LEARN HOW I MAKE MONEY $20,000/month within 4 MONTHS and I bought it. When I downloaded this item I found out couple things that are not pretty.
1. The ebook is only 25 pages long.
2. Poorly written. Absolutely no grammar skills whatsoever. I mean the book puts my poor grammar to shame.
3. The tools he mentions don't work anymore(at least couple of them don't)
4. The information he provides is common knowledge for any affiliate marketer.
So I did what anyone would do in this situation, I requested a refund. So far, I have yet to get it.
This money making experience was bad. It taught me two things.
1. If the ebook is cheap, its probably is bad.
2. Never buy ebooks from ebay sellers. At least when you buy from ClickBank, you can request your money back and know that you will get them.
Hope this was informative. My quest to make money on the net continues.

How to NOT make money with your blog
Third post, yay!
Ok, I was browsing through the list of blogs on blogspot, and I have noticed that every once in a while there comes along a blog that just screams "delete me". I am talking about the blog that has a hover type pop-up ad, a "nowstat" banner at the top, and bunch of adult related ads throughout the page. I am not saying its not ok to do that, but please keep the number of ads to a reasonable amounts. At least learn the proper placements for those ads.
I also noticed that there are at least five different variations of the type of blog mentioned above. And guess what, it doesn't have google adsense. There is a reason for that as well, and the reason is that google probably rejected him.
Then there are blogs that just flood their pages with adsense. I am talking about five or six adsense packages on one page. That is just plain wrong.
So here are some tips:
Ok, I was browsing through the list of blogs on blogspot, and I have noticed that every once in a while there comes along a blog that just screams "delete me". I am talking about the blog that has a hover type pop-up ad, a "nowstat" banner at the top, and bunch of adult related ads throughout the page. I am not saying its not ok to do that, but please keep the number of ads to a reasonable amounts. At least learn the proper placements for those ads.

So here are some tips:
- Keep the number of adsense packages to a minimum. Three variations is good enough amount.
- Read google's ad placement tips, they are a big help. The tips show where adsense is more effective on the page.
- If you are going to place another ad provider's advertisements, again learn proper placement, don't just stick them wherever you please. It not only looks bad, but it might get google to close your adsense account.

Shameless plug #1 - Affiliate Elite.
Are you in the affiliate business and never manage to get any sales? Well, you are not the only one. Many affiliates struggle to make a decent sum of money, and mostly all of them fail. Only a few smart affiliates actually make a decent income. Yes, I hate to tell you this but its true. Affiliate market is a struggle to outwit your competitor and snare the customer for yourself. If you manage to outwit your competitor, then you can get by in this business.

1. Find Profitable products to advertise - Does this by retrieving data from ClickBank's database and keeps track of this data for as many days as you like.
2. Reverse google search - Exactly as it sounds. Lets you visit the sites, and see what adwords they use to bring traffic to them. Also lets you see natural search phrases the sites use.
3. Analyze adwords competition - This lets you check the adwords ads your competitor uses, their landing pages and more.

If you use all 4 features together, the possible income is limitless. So give yourself an unfair advantage for once, destroy your competition!
This tool costs a measly $176 + monthly fee of $39, but its nothing compared to the money you can make with this great tool. As the saying goes, "knowledge is power," and trust me Affiliate Elite will give you that knowledge and power.
For more information and videos, VISIT the site.
I haven't tried this software myself, but I do plan on using it once I get into affiliate marketing.
The demo videos that are located on the site are pretty informative, and if the software does what it says it does, its going to make someone a lot of money.
One other reason that I am am not buying this software yet is that I want to do more research on affiliate marketing and such first. Once I feel confident enough, I will give this software a try. Plus they give you a refund if you change your mind, so there is really nothing to lose here.
Update: I just learned that the price is going to increase, so hurry up before its too late!

About me and this blog.
Welcome to my Blog.
Now I am not going to give you my real name or anything personal. The reason behind this is that I don't want to let people know it. Its for my safety purpose, you guys understand, right?
This blog basically will be about making money on the net. I will prove to you that it is possible, with some knowledge. Now, I am not going to claim "become millionaire" or any bull dookie like that. Why? Cause I haven't become one yet. When, and if, I do become "internet millionaire" I will be sure to make a post about it.
As the title suggests, I will be posting various ways that I have found to actually make a spare change on the net. Depending on your knowledge and effort, I am sure you can make more then a mere change.
Well, keep on checking, as I will be updating this blog quite frequently, or rather "as I have free time" frequently.
Thanks for reading.
