A brief rundown on some of our Current Favourite Sites:

Here is our selection of what we consider to be some of the better earning programs currently around; For all the latest news and programs visit our new Blog!

Bidvertiser is a get paid per click program. If you have a website or blog, you can display ads. When people come to your site and click on one of these ads you will get paid. You earn varying amounts per click, but the good thing about this program, unlike say Google Adsense where their minimum payout is $100, Bidvertiser offer a minimum payout of only $10. With more and more people running their own website's and blog's, these kind of programs really are a good source for earning a little extra cash.

GlobalTestMarket is an online paid survey site. We get a good handful of surveys every week. They offer points for completing surveys but these points are exchangeable for cash.

AdPaid is has been our favourite paid email program for some time now. We're sure many of you have seen the hundreds of this type of program around on the internet. But this one, in our opinion is by far one of the best. Has a $3 minimum payout threshold which is very easy to reach, with or without a downline.

And so if your new to all this, here's a brief overview as to how it all works....

Yep, you can actually get paid from companies for doing various things on the internet, such as read email, surf, take surveys, write reviews and so on. This site by no means represents the many companies out there, only a selection. I know........ so you're asking what's the deal, why on earth do these companies want to pay us? Well simply put, advertisers are increasingly using the internet to market their products/services and the companies share the money they make with their members.

How much you make will depend on how hard you push it, this is not a 'get rich quick' thing, you have to be persistent. The more people that you refer to these sites and the more regular that you use their services, the more you make.

All companies will have different specifications, like with the paid to surf programs you are more than likely required to download software to enable you to see the ads that they are going to pay you to view. Paid to Read Email programs will send you lots of emails so having extra email accounts is essential. Check out the FAQ sections of the different sites if you have any queries. Most companies also have a minimum payment amount which you have to reach before they will send you a payment. The odd one or two companies however may pay monthly regardless of what amount you have earned, again check out the site in question for details.

Most companies are US based, but not all, we list programs from the UK, Europe, Australia among others. Many though, will only make payments in US dollars, there are many online payment services around these days, click on the link below to see them, and most will also pay via cheque. Cheques are easily exchangeable at the bank, some banks may make a small charge, others won't

What's on the site & ways to earn online!

Now don't get us wrong, your not going to end up a millionaire, or 'get rich quick', because these aren't the kind of programs we list here on The Earn from the Internet Site. But you will certainly find something on the site where you can earn, or even win, a little extra spending money - and we all know any extra cash from time to time is always handy!

There are many various ways around to earn a little extra cash online - and have a little fun whilst your at it! You can get paid to read email (which is by far our biggest section!), take surveys, write reviews, surf, make searches, visit websites, click on banners or links, sign up for offers, play games and even chat.

There are also sites that allow you to surf for free website traffic if you have your own site/affiliate opportunity etc, that may need some extra promotion or hits. You can even earn some cash by affiliating with advertisers looking for people to sell their product or opportunity.

We also have a section which aims to give you some ideas of where to find advice if your looking to work from home and/or freelance. We offer some simple tips and hopefully, useful links.

For those of you not familiar with the world of making a little extra cash via the internet, below we have compiled a short overview which gives a bit more of an insight as to how it all works. So please take the time to have a look around. Our site is packed with reviews and information of the various programs you can earn and get paid from. Remember the site is an ever growing resource, so be sure to check back on us from time to time, besides we really would like to see you again!!

Placing AdSense on Your Blog

Placing AdSense on Your Blog

Let's do a quick recap up to this point in case you have some catching up to do.

1.) Do you know what AdSense is?
2.) Are you familiar with the terms: blogging and bloggers?
3.) Have you successfully setup your very own blog with the Blogger service?
4.) Do you have an understanding of Google's Terms of Service so your account doesn't get banned?

If you answered no to any of those questions, simply follow the link to my post explaining in more detail before you continue on. Otherwise, it's time to put AdSense on our blog and start making money (with some patience, of course)!

The great thing about Blogger is it makes it dead simple to get started. First, head over to Blogger and log into your account. When you do that, it should automatically bring you to your “Dashboard”. Here's a picture of my current dashboard:



To get started, simply click on the “Layout” link on the bottom right of your Dashboard summary and you'll see something similar to this:



What you're seeing here is a high level breakdown of your web design. Most sites (like my own) are composed of a header, menu, content, and a footer (not shown in my picture). To get AdSense up and running on your blog, click any of the dotted areas that are labeled: “Add a Page Element”.



Once you do that, you'll get a pop up (make sure any anti-pop up software is disabled) with many options to choose from. From here, click on the AdSense section button: “Add To Blog”. The icon is marked with dollar bills (Oh yeah!).



We're almost home...

Now you have a screen that let's you choose format options and colors. It even gives us a nice little preview to save us time later on! We'll dissect these options more in future articles, but for now keep the defaults.



Hit the “Save Changes” on the AdSense window - it should close automatically. At this point you are all set! You can click on the “Preview” button on the original page to view your changes or simply refresh your blog. You also have the ability to move the AdSense up or down - or move it to a completely different page element altogether! (Just make sure you preview your changes before you save)

I wasn't lying when I said you don't have to be a web guru to get this setup, was I? Now you have the tools setup to pull in some extra revenue (hopefully a steady stream). Well, not quite. This isn't a get-rich-quick-scheme. It's going to take some time, patience and hard work (I saw you roll your eyes). Nothing comes easy, but if you stick around we can get there together.

Five Ways to Drive Traffic to your Blog

Five Ways to Drive Traffic to your Blog

When you blog for money you need to create your own content (and lots of it!), implement advertisement programs like Google AdSense and WidgetBucks, and last but not least – you need traffic.



In our offline lives we dread it, but online we embrace it. I want to give you 5 ways to start driving traffic to your blog today. With a little time and patience, you will slowly start to increase your viewer ship.

(In no particular order)

5.) Post comments on other blogs.

Blogs are everywhere – there’s certainly not a shortage of them. You should have no problem finding other bloggers in your niche that are popular and interesting. Bookmark those that you like, follow their topics daily, and if you find something that sparks your interest – comment.

Become a participating voice in the community. The more interesting your comments are, the more likely your peers will follow you to your blog. And who knows – you might stand out among the crowd and be recognized by the author, which can spin off into better opportunities.

4.) Register with blog networks like: Technorati, BlogCatalog, and MyBlogLog

It’s important that you get your blog out there for others to see. You can start the process by submitting to search engines, but that’s just the beginning. Technorati, BlogCatalog, and MyBlogLog are just a few of the high profile blog networks on the web. Register with them, network with other people in your releated area, and get your word out.

When you register with these services remember a couple of things:

1.) Create a detailed profile. Let people know a little bit about you and draw them in. Without that personal interaction people may flee quickly.

2.) Tag your blog properly. Tags are very important – they’re usually one or two word descriptions of your blog. So for example my blog would fall under categories like: Money, Business, and Finance. Dig around the specific service and look for popular tags and try to use those for your blog. It allows people who are interested in these topics to easily find your site.


3.) Register with several forums.

Do a Google search for forums that are related to your niche and register. Try to be an active voice in the community. People will flock to you if you’re interesting. Not only that but it allows you to find out what others are doing and what makes them appealing.

When you register with a forum, make sure to fill out the profile, similar to the blogging services. And equally as important – make a signature that is a direct link to your blog. Your signature is shown in every post that you make – helping you gain visibility. This is all the more reason to create thought provoking discussions.


2.) Social Bookmarking and Article Submission.

Social networking, bookmarking, and article submissions are all the rage today – don’t let it pass you by. Some of the major networks include delicious, Furl, and of course, Digg. These sites will allow you to tag, bookmark, and submit articles that you think are interesting. What’s more interesting than your own work? People should know about it so go spread the word.


1.) StumbleUpon

StumbleUpon really falls into tip #2, but I decided to break it away from the pack because it provides quicker results. Like the rest of the social networking sites, you create a profile and network with others. But what makes StumbleUpon so darn unique, is that you can “stumble” thousands of sites that you’re interested in by the click of a button. So what does that mean for you? Well, you can stumble your own site. By doing this you get into the Stumble rotation, and any people that you network with can stumble across it as well.

In my experience StumbleUpon can bring great surges of traffic for short periods of time. Due to the nature of the service, you’re likely to get overlooked more than not; however, those that do stop – tend to stay. And if they like the site, they can rate it and review it for all the friends in their network to see. Are you getting the picture here? Your viewer ship has the potential to explode!

As with most things in life, there’s no silver bullet for getting traffic. It takes a lot of research, careful planning, networking, patience, and time. If you have what it takes and start using my recommendations, you will definitely start to see an increase. Hopefully that increase in traffic will help you blog for money.
