Hello everybody. Today i'll be explaining to you how you can make money from writing articles. You maybe thinking that this is similar to my guide on ebook writing, but it isn't the same, although there are some similarities between them. What i mean about writing articles, is that you should write about what you're passionate about and what interests you the most, otherwise you won't likely complete your article(s) and not doing so would mean you don't make much, if any money at all.
Article writing can come in many different focuses, such as being a freelance writer, which means you write for companies or individuals on a project-by-project basis. Writing articles as a freelance writer has both advantages and disadvantages to it. The advantages of freelance writing is that you can write when you want, where you want, and however you want (as long as it isn't plagiarized) at the comfort of wherever you find suitable. Being a freelancer will also allow you to negotiate and make deals with your employers so that you could earn more and have a flexible schedule. The disadvantages of freelance writing is that you have to personally manage your finances very well and save enough money to pay taxes, bills, etc.. Another disadvantage is that your employer doesn't provide health benefits to you or your family meaning that you have to purchase your own health insurance. A disadvantage to some people would be that there is no boss or other employees to encourage you or to compete with you. Without competition or encouragement, you are less likely to be motivated to do your work very well.
If you're just interested in writing a few articles in your spare time, then you should join sites such as Hubpages, AssociatedContent, EzineArticles, Bukisa, and Triond. These sites pay you upfront depending on the quality of your article. They will pay between $2-$10 for a decent article with over 400 words, and will continue to pay you more for every thousand views. Most of them pay around $1.50/1000 views. Do not bother trying to view your own articles to increase view-count because it won't work out well. When you submit an article to these sites, they will take a few days to review it before posting it on their website in order to check if there were any copyrighted content. Once they accept your article, the money will come slowly and steadily unless you were writing about a niche, in that case the views would most likely fluctuate depending on the whether or not the people search it up.
If you do not wish to work for a company, you can easily set-up a simple resume on a forum such as DigitalPoint. You can also hire people to write anything for you at DigitalPoint, but it isn't recommended because it often costs around $5 for 500 words. Most professionals will charge around $3 per 100 words, while high school and college students often write articles for around $0.50-$1.50 per 100 words. Forums like DigitalPoint don't just hire someone once; employers often hire people to write many different articles on a wide variety of topics and pay you according to the number of words you write and occasionally, the time it takes for you to write it. Some employers require the writer to write an article containing over 300 words with key words within an hour on a topic that the writer might not have even heard about! So it is recommended that you're very skilled on finding reliable resources quickly and knowing how to put it in your own words.
Overall, i think writing articles is a great way to make money if you're efficient in gathering resources and thinking out of the top of your head. Making money writing articles will only make you a decent amount if you can write quickly, clearly, and correctly. You also have to balance speed with quality because if you rush through your writing, you will often have grammar mistakes that you may not have seen.

In-Depth: Youtube
Now you're probably thinking, "How can Youtube make me money?", well, you're partially right. Youtube is a large place to find almost any kind of videos. There are many people who post videos frequently, as often as daily, then there are people who occasionally post videos that go viral. Today, i'll explain to you, how you can make anywhere between a few pennies a day, to potential hundreds.
Here is how you get started:
1. If you are new to YouTube and like the idea of posting great video to earn revenue with YouTube the first thing you need is a FREE YouTube account. Simply login to YouTube and sign up, they will ask for basic information including a user name and password.
2. Once you have your account you need to become familiar with how to upload videos, title videos, and market your videos with relevant keywords, category selection and content. So if you have a nice for making a certain type of video and have lots of them to share this could end up being a great source of online income for you. Many of YouTube's most successful partners are young adults and youth. And they are earning big money!
3. After you have uploaded a variety of video you can now go to YouTube's homepage and click on the link that says partnerships under programs. From here you can apply to become a partner, this is where some people get frustrated and confused. To become a partner with YouTube you must apply, once you apply YouTube will review your account. YouTube will look at your total number of videos, how often you submit videos and how many views your videos have received. All of these factors in to whether or not you approved for partnership. So I would suggest building up a nice "portfolio" of video that have success in views before you apply.
4. Once you’re a partner YouTube then allows you to get commission off of ads that are seen by your videos. So let’s say someone watches your YouTube video and noticed an ad to the side of your video. If they click on that ad, YouTube shares earning from that ad click with their partners. For some people on YouTube this has generated a lot of money.
My final tip is to make videos that are interesting in pop culture, such as "OMG Justin Bieber DEAD!!" or "New video game console coming soon READ MORE HERE!"
You may not always succeed, but it is well worth a shot. If you can make it as a Youtube partner with a dedicated following, you can make a living doing nothing more than what you love.

In-Depth: Ebook Writing
Hello, this guide is on how to write an ebook and why it is a great way of making money. An ebook is basically a book written online that you could put up for sale, an ebook can take many hours to write but will earn you at least $5 per book if you've written a few pages of quality information. The benefits of selling an ebook is that you don't necesarily have to accept cash payments, checks, or even Paypal money. You could put a password on your .pdf file and upload it to ShareCash or similar sites so that your customer would have to complete a survey in order to access the file & password. The downside of uploading it to sites like ShareCash would mean some people would get frustrated and some people would copy your site and upload it to a place like mediafire which doesn't require any completions of surveys.
To start writing an ebook, you have to think about what interests you the most and what you know a lot about. It could be about fashion, computers, cooking, absolutely anything! You should then proceed to create a title that would appeal to your target audience. An interesting title would really help draw attention to your ebook and increase your revenue. An example of a good title would be, "MAKE $100/Day FREE!", while a not so interesting title would read, "Make money online" because there are already plenty of articles related to that and it doesn't catch the readers' eyes and show the readers how much they can earn.
After you're done the introduction, you have to start on the dreaded introduction. An introduction is crucial to maintaining your audiences' attention because if it doesn't, they may just stop reading and automatically label your ebook useless, or worse, they might write a terrible review for your ebook. Your introduction should consist of important details such as how long the ebook would be and how optimistic the ebook is. Your introduction should also summarize everything that will be detailed further in your ebook.
The middle of your ebook is just as crucial as the beginning, you could easily lose your audience sometime during his read because he or she might lose interest. To make the reader stay focused and content, your ebook should contain detailed steps and the constant reminder that your reader could make lots and lots of money! The ebook should also contain easy steps so that your reader is not confused at any point.
The conclusion is also very important because it would summarize everything and should have a lasting impact on your reader. You could have a really bad introduction and middle, but as long as the reader makes it to the very end, it should give them a lasting impression. Your conclusion should contain optimism and hope. You should always tell them to try hard and that they'll earn their ways to riches in no time.
That is all i have to say about ebook writing, thank for reading.

In-Depth: CPALead
Hello viewers, i will now be explaining to you how CPALead and sites similar to that are great ways of making money while putting minimal effort. CPALead will help you make money by locking your site to viewers unless those viewers fill out a survey, which will make you money. This method is sure-fire way of making money and income as long as you have a decent website and a steady flow of traffic.
Here is how you can get started:
1. Create a website or blog that you think consumers will likely be attracted to. Such as a gaming website/blog, a film/game review site, software site, etc.
2. You have to find a good host so that your website doesn't crash or lag or have any limits depending on your needs and choice. I cannot recommend a web host because certain sites needs better hosts while some sites require the bare minimal.
3. Make your website seem as attractive and comfortable as possible for the visitors.
4. Go to CPALead and fill register so that they could put ads and surveys on your website, they may not accept you, but remember to try again and again until they do.
5. Once you're accepted, it is time to bring in the visitors
Attracting Traffic:
To attract many visitors, you should make your site about something new and popular, some people have already capitalized on making a Justin Beiber fan site, so too bad. A common site would be to host films or videos because everybody loves to watch films privately at their own house for free. To do this, you should upload videos onto Youtube. You should just upload a 9 minute length video with a picture(s) of the movie you are hosting. Then you should write in the description box that links people to your website and tell them that a short and simple survey needs to be done before they could access the movie. An example title would be:
"Watch <Movie Title> <Movie Year> Online FREE, Part 1/15, Full Length Movies, HD"
It doesn't have to look exactly like that, you could remove or add a few parts, but it should look similar to this and should be in that format.
You can make around $50/month if you manage to get a few thousand views on your video and some people visit your site.
Thank you for reading, come back often for updates and further in-depth content!

In-Depth: GPT Sites
Hello, welcome to part 2 of my series on making money. Today i'll be talking about GPT sites. What is a GPT site you may ask. Well, GPT is an abbreviation for Get Paid To. Example of a GPT sites are PrizeRebel, and Swagbucks, . These sites pay you to complete surveys, sign-up for prizes, and writing comments. At first, you may think these are scams, but let me tell you that these sites are definitely NOT scams. Each of these sites have a forum in which people can show-off their earnings/prizes to people. I have personally seen thousands of posts and threads showing stuff people have earned, such as an Xbox 360, Playstation 3, gift cards, clothing, and a wide variety of electronics.
Now i'll be going through each site and explaining to you how much you can make:
PrizeRebel:
This site is my personal favorite, many people have won prizes and i have personally won an iPod Touch. This site does, however, favor Americans than people of other countries in that there are many more surveys for Americans than for Canada, United Kingdom, or Australia combined. There are approximately 13 pages that don't require cellphones for Americans with each page giving approximately 5 points each, which gives a total of around 65 points. Each point represents $1, so if you complete every free survey, you will get $65. If you aren't already satisfied with those number, referring to other people can also earn you points. If a person registers under your referral, then you will get about 20% of what they earn on their account. I would highly recommend this site.
Swagbucks:
This site is similar to PrizeRebel in that you can earn points by completing surveys, but you can use their search engine to earn points. They often randomly give you points for visiting their site or visiting one of their pages. I've gotten a few Amazon gift cards from them, but afterwards i soon lost all my points from their Swagstakes. Yes, the Swagstakes are exactly what they sound like. It is a like a sweepstakes in which you gamble some if not all of your points to potentially win a prize that costs much much more. The thing that irritates me most about this is that people with thousands of points would spend all of their points for a chance to win something that they could've gotten if they gained a few more points.
Your total earnings can range from $30/month to $100/month depending on how many referrals you've sent.
That is all i have to say about GPT sites, please visit next time for updates & further in-depth content!

In-Depth: ShareCash
Hello, today i will be explaining in-depth on how ShareCash can help you earn money. The amount of money you can make range from $0.30 per download to $0.60 per download. This could rake up around $5.00 per day if you put a little effort into it. Many people use black hat methods in order to to gain money, but what i'm showing you today is 100% safe and legal way to earn some spending cash.
The most common way of gaining money from ShareCash is getting to upload something people want, such as a new album, a new movie, new software, etc. A common way of obtaining this software is to download them from torrent sites and upload and distribute the link to the torrent site on forums and on your website. It is not advised that you upload the file because it is illegal to do so, but not to just spread the link. This technique also applies to new albums, movies, and other entertainment products. DO NOT under any circumstance upload files to your website because your hosts will remove your website.
Using Forums:
There are many forums that share files over the internet such as Warez. The key to getting many downloads is to twist the content to favor the consumer. For example, instead of titling your download, "Adobe After Effects CS4 Download through this link!", you should say "Adobe After Effects CS4 Download!". If you were to title your product the same way as my first example, the consumer would likely scour the internet in search for the product to download, whilst if you used my second example, the consumer would likely go through your link instead. To successfully get downloads from forums, you would have to post your link on many major forums so that when somebody uses Google, the search engine will automatically bring your download near the top of the list.
Video Sharing:
Some people find it safer to use Youtube to search for their product they want. It is advisable to make your product as appealing as possible, using bold titles and putting the word 'FREE' in the title would greatly benefit you.
Blogging & Article Writing:
I know this seems to belong in a different section, and i will be going more in-depth about this topic later. But you can essentially write an ebook and distribute them for "free" by uploading it to ShareCash and making it password-protected.
Adf.ly:
Adf.ly will help make you a few dollars if you manage to get a couple of thousands of downloads. A trick to maximize profit is to keep putting the adf.ly link through the generator so that your link will loops and 1 click would make you more money. A tip is to cloak your adf.ly link with a bit.ly link to ensure that consumers click your link.
The amount of money you make per month with these sites can vary greatly and which combinations of methods you've used to make money. You will definitely make at least $30/month if you just spread your link on the forums.
This is all the tips i have for you, please return for updates and more information about making money online!
