Google AdSense – Another Method
Welcome back! Have you joined my mailing list yet?
My Google AdSense account has slowly been increasing in monetary value. I'm sure many of you have noticed the AdSense stuff on this site, and you have all heard that it's a good thing to have for making some money. Today, I want to talk about another way to use your AdSense account to make money - by using other people's resources. No, it's not some black-hat method. Just keep reading.
I have been noticing several forums (including WiseBread and Digital Point) have a feature known as Ad Revenue Sharing using Google AdSense. The way it works is when you reach a certain number of posts, the admins allow you to ad your AdSense for Content code (which can be found under your Account Settings page in your AdSense account) to a special field in your profile options, and the forum uses this code to generate the ads, which help you earn money when they are clicked. Nice, eh?
A quick search for 'revenue sharing forum' should help you find several different forums to join. Be sure to use valid post responses when responding to a thread. You don't want to spam a forum just to reach your AdSense enabling threshold. Besides, most of the forums I have seen have rules against that.
Now, keep in mind it's not a rapid influx of cash, however it's something. With just one forum, I will get the odd click every now and then, which adds a few cents to my AdSense account each time. Remember, any money earned is good money.
If you are a member of a forum with these features, but don't have an AdSense account, I highly recommend getting one. They are free.
Have fun!

Is Squidoo a Viable Way to Make Money Online?
For those of you who have no idea what I have done, I decided to check into the Squidoo zoo and see what the buzz was all about. I know Squidoo has been around for a while now, but I'm slow. Really, my laptop is running Windows 98 (and it a Pentium 133), hence the attempts to make some extra dough.
My lens, How I Get Money to Burn, has been online for about 2 days. With only the 20 or so visitors, I have earned affiliates in a couple different programs (just a couple signing up for a few programs can make a difference). Of course, these programs aren't designed to make anyone rich (except their founders), but the fact is that a little money CAN be made with them. The trick? Don't focus on completing thousands of offers. Instead, get tons of affiliates and let them do the work for you. Lazy? Not really, because affiliate marketing, as I am learning, takes quite a bit of effort and critical thinking. But one way to give your marketing a kick in the pants is to start a Squidoo lens about whatever it is you are marketing. Naturally, people will find it, and eventually (if your page is motivational enough), you will start seeing some outclicks to your stuff.
Personally, I like the idea of being able to set up a free mini-site in a matter of minutes on a reliable host where you can make money, not only from what you are marketing to your viewers, but also through royalties based on what Squidoo earns via your lens.
Squidoo seems to be a very good way to help promote your affiliates and/or services, and is definitely a good tool to help boost your revenue.

How I Make Money: Fun Cash Online
It's no secret, I like making money online. It's like a sick hobby, finding new ways to make money on the internet, with little or no investment at all. And since this site is (almost) all about finding and sharing ways to make money online, I feel it is important to pass this along to my readers.
I've found a new way to make money. Keep in mind, it's not the secret password to riches untold, but it can make you an easy 10-20 bucks in a week or two, which is great if you are just looking for some extra cash to by some old Blondie albums (at least that's what I would do with the extra cash).
So what is this new thing?
Well, Ryan (from Blogging4Everyone.com) has started a new site, similar in concept to MyPoints, except instead of earning points for completing offers (or just submitting email addresses, doing surveys, etc.) they pay you cash. So what site is this? FunCashOnline.com. Dare I say, it's addictive.
But what about my info? I'm stingy with my information...
Great. FunCashOnline has something for you to, you paranoid tinfoil-hat-wearing person. It's also the best way to increase your earnings from the site and maximize your income while minimizing your effort (sort of). That's right...an affiliate program. FCO will pay you 20% of your Level 1 referral's earnings, and 5% of your Level 2 referrals (people referred by your referrals). That's a pretty sweet deal, especially if your friends all sign up and get as addicted as I have.
OK, what about payout?
FCO pays out (I presume) once per month via PayPal. And for those skeptics out there, yes, I have been paid for my submissions.
I'm too stupid for something like that.
Nonsense. Ryan in his infinite wisdom has taken a step down from his better-than-us-at-marketing throne to give us affiliate noobs a helping hand.
Surely you must have found something to criticize?
Not really. So far the site seems to be an altogether good deal. However, I would love to see something in the PTC (pay to click) category...hint...and the banner doesn't match the table width. Other than that, I can see nothing really wrong with the system.
Conclusion
Ryan has done a great job setting up this site, and I personally would like to see a massive influx of new subscribers to it. So if you are reading this site or the feed, go check it out. You'll be doing yourself a favor.
