Things to do while you're making money

Here are some things I like to do in my "downtime" when my revenue is rising and I am getting bored.

1) Play poker

Ah, one of the funnest things to do online. Full Tilt is the poker room i recommend to all! Lots of players, VERY QUICK payments, and a great set up. Join FULL TILT!

2) Forex Trading

Yes, risk is involved as always, but the chance of profit is even greater! My personnel favorite, Easy Forex, has been doing the trick for me lately! If you like economics, and like making money, Easy Forex is the program for you.

3) eBay


Good old eBay. Whatever you want, or have to sell, you can make money from them. Join this program and learn how to make huge profits, without even having anything to sell!

4) Shopping
Shopping is always fun, here are some products I think are worthy of checking out just in time for the holidays!

SpoofCard's unique calling card allows users to place secure and anonymous calls by changing the number that appears on a recipient's Caller ID! SpoofCard also offers a realtime voice changer and free call recording.

Incentive Marketing - The Great Debate

I am sure you all have heard about the "incentive" side of affiliate marketing, and I am sure you have heard Hydra, Neverblue, Max Bounty and Click Booth and many others not accepting, or very selectively, accepting new incentive publishers. Why though? Well, sadly enough, there are some incentive publishers that generate poor leads- whether that consists of fraud or duplicate completions.

So you may be saying, "Okay, so stay clear of incentive marketing"... WRONG. There is no reason to stay away from it, if you are ready to put in the time, incentive marketing can make you, if not more, money than regular marketing. COPEAC, CPA Storm, Instant Dollarz, and Revenue Universe are some of the biggest incentive publishers and still gladly accept new signups. It is YOUR JOB to keep fraud from happening. If not, your affiliates will drop you, withhold payments, and other things until you can prove that you are ready to combat fraud.

The thing with incentive marketing is that it is more customer interaction. You HAVE customers to cater too now. Your customers sign up, complete an offer, refer friends, and you have to compensate them for doing so. They may ask you questions, ask for help, and you need to be polite and help them as much as you can, or there is a possibly they won't refer to your site, causing you to lose customers, and profit.

There are scripts that set up incentive sites for you, the one I use is http://www.scripts.freebielifescripts.net. Very helpful, and its looks nice too! For example of incentive sites, you can check out http://www.anyfreepaypal.com, http://www.100.thefreebielife.com, http://www.key2free.com/prizes or http://www.anyfreehdtv.com. There are plenty of other incentive sites, but thats just to name a few!

So has I said, incentive marketing can be very profitable, if done correctly. You will see at first, it may be very time consuming. You need to advertise, advertise, advertise! Good luck!

PPC Advertising - Does it work?

I personnely am not a fan, but i see this forum of advertising affiliate links growing more and more each date.

Sites like Hydra, Neverblue, and Click Booth are now running campaigns and GIVING you keyword lists to use.

Though I am not a fan, I have tried my share at PPC (Pay per click for those who don't know) advertising. I really don't see what all the fuss is about. True if you want to target your ads it can be helpful, but be ready to have to spend to earn (few posts down).

I recommend.. Google Adwords. Surprise surprise. As much as Google is taking over the net, this is a great service I must recommend. But like I said... you need to spend to earn. Make sure to read my previous post about money management. For another great Google related product, check out Google SEO Supervisor. I truly enjoyed what this product had to offer.

So yes, PPC advertising can be profitable, but it would not be something I would focus on as my number one priority of advertising.

Review of Hydra Network

Join Hydra Network Today!

One of the oldest affiliate sites out there, yet still, one of, if not.. THE BEST.

Recently, I had some issues with payment, and spoke to my AM for hours in order to get it resolved. At the end of the day, it was, and in a kind fashion as well. Hydra Network has been great towards me, no matter how annoying I can be.

There offers, a lot of exclusives I may add, are some of the top paying in the industry.

Hydra's interface is also very well done, and their reports are by far some of the best I have seen.

If I had to give them a rating out of 10, it would probably be a 9.5 (Hey, the day I see a perfect 10 affiliate, pig's will be flying).

So if you aren't signed up with Hydra yet, get to it!
