Is Project Payday a Scam or Legit?

Project Payday Review – Is Project Payday a Scam or Legit?

Name: Project Payday
Website: www.ProjectPayday.com
Price: $4,95 for 7-day trial , after that $49,95/month
Owners: Jeff Walker
Overall Rank: 10 out of 100

Project Payday Introduction

Jeff Walker is a guy who is earning $100,000’s every single month from the Internet and he wants to reveal his secrets how he is doing that. Or at least that’s what he is saying himself.

Mr. Walker is talking true when he explains that earning real money from the Internet requires building a business. He says that “Click, click, click and earn $10,000/month” – strategy is false. He promises to teach you a real business that can generate a big income from the comfort of your own home.

He warns you about the online scams saying that they promise quick riches without any good business.

But is Walker’s own business, Project Payday, another scam program? Let’s find out!

(At least he wants to arouse our attention by showing the pictures of his paychecks. See the image below)

How Does Project Payday Work?

You have two options to earn money in Project Payday:

1.Fill out Cost Per Action (CPA) offers
2.Refer other people to join Project Payday

Project Payday has so-called CPA (Cost Per Action) products. Different advertisers will send you their forms and information and you need to do a the certain action to earn money from them. For example, watch their video or receive their sample products.

They will send you different offers and you can choose which one you want to accomplish.

As you keep on filling their forms many times you need to put your credit card information also. You need to do that in order to earn money from them.

Let’s imagine that you fill out 5 offers and you put your credit card information 5 times. Then you the same also the next day. Is it fun to leave your credit card details everywhere? That is what you need to do in Project Payday.

After completing two offers you can join their referral program.

In their referral program, you refer other people to join their program and you will earn commissions when someone joins and pays the membership fees.

But honestly, I wouldn’t like to refer people to join this program. They don’t provide really significant value for the members. Just some “try to make money easily” -tricks that don’t even work well.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• You may earn some money
• You will get the opportunity to try various products

Cons:

• No free trial
• No good training
• “Smelly” business model
• You need to put your credit card details in so many places
• Some companies may share your information with third parties
• It’s sometimes difficult to return the samples from the advertisers. When you don’t manage to return the sample, they think that you have bought it and charge you the money.
• You will get a lot of emails, junk mails, and even phone calls.

 

Is There Any Training in Project Payday?

They have some kind of training…

BUT…

The little training mainly teaches you how to earn money by filling out the forms and how to get the other people join to their program.

I believe that the main reason that there are some people who talk in a positive way about their program is mainly because they want to earn money by referring people to join Project Payday.

Project Payday Pricing

Like in the many other “MakeMoneyOnline” -products, Project Payday doesn’t provide a free trial. 7-day trial costs $4,95 which is quite typical for many programs.

I personally prefer products that offer a free trial like Wealthy Affiliate. Because you never know about these “Project Paydays if they are real scams and after you give your bucks you don’t receive anything in return. Even though $4,95 is not a big money, imagine giving it many times for different scammers. I guess that you would have better use for your time and money?

After their 7-day trial, the membership costs $49,95/month as you can see in the image above.

Who is Project Payday for?

In my honest opinion, Project Payday works well for the companies who are providing their samples if you join their program.

They will send you their advertisements so it will totally be beneficial for them.

But I don’t recommend to join the program. It’s not for the people who want to earn money online with the good business model.

My Final Opinion of Project Payday

Is Project Payday a scam? In my opinion, yes.

You may earn some money with Project Payday but very probably nothing very significant.

Project Payday doesn’t teach you great business models even though they promise so.

If you are really interested in earning money online I recommend learning how to do it in Wealthy Affiliate. They will provide you a comprehensive training how to create your own online business and start earning passive income from the Internet.

What Does SERP Mean and How Can You Use it to Your Advantage?

SERP, SEO, HTML, etc… All these abbreviations and interesting terms can be confusing for the new internet marketers. Today I am going to explain What Does SERP Mean?

Then I am going to help how you can benefit from SERP in your own keyword research.

(I have already made a post about SEO and keywords so you can become familiar with those terms if they are new for you.)

SERP – Definition

SERP stands for Search Engine Results Page.

You search something in the search engine and click “search”. Then you receive a page and that is called SERP – Search Engine Results Page.

Let’s take an example.

I write “How to earn money with a blog?” and then I click search.

By the way, use “incognito”-window to get more accurate results for your searches.

I get the Search Engine Results Page where I see the results of my query. (see the image below)

Above, in the Search Engine Results Page, you see the results for your query.

If you have a business and you want to earn money from the Internet you very likely want to get ranked on the first page in Google. Using a little “SERP” -research can help you.

Using SERP to Your Advantage!

If you want to get ranked in Google you can use SERP to your advantage. Let me explain how.

First, when you make your keyword research, you find for the proper keyword. You want monthly searches in Google to be more than 50 and QSR less than 30 (less than 50 is also okay).

You find a good keyword which perfectly makes sense, QSR is less than 30 and monthly searches are less than 50. Should you use it right away? Yes, you can BUT there is one extra thing that you can do.

Search your keyword in Google and see the SERP!

When you are using the certain keyword, you are always competing with the other websites that are using the same keyword. Your goal is to outrank those websites and get ranked better.

But it’s quite challenging to outrank certain sites. Those are

• Big e-commerce sites like Amazon, Ebay and others.
• Big authority websites like Wikipedia
• A lot of videos in SERP

If you search your keyword in Google and all the results on the first page are from Amazon, Ebay and Wikipedia I would suggest choosing another keyword. Of course, it’s possible to outrank some of these sites but very probably there are other keywords when it will be easier to get on the first page of Google.

So know you to avoid competing for too much again above-mentioned websites.

When you search your keyword from Google and you don’t see any big authority websites in SERP you can be happy to use the keyword. The competition is probably not so tough for that keyword.

Let’s Take an Example!

Above you can again see our search results for. “How to earn money with a blog”.

You can see four websites ranked in the top, Forbes.com, AmyLynnAndrews.com, TipsAndTricks-hq.com and ProBlogger.com.

Would it be possible to outrank those sites by using our keyword “How to earn money with a blog”? What do you think?

Yes, it is possible!

All of those websites are of course doing their work to stay on the top but I would say that it’s not a stupid idea to compete against those sites. Forbes is a “big dog” and it can be challenging to outrank but it is not impossible.

And 3 other sites that you can see there are not so huge sites even though the sites are from the experienced bloggers.

All in all, you could choose the keyword “How to earn money with a blog”. (if monthly searches and QSR are good)

Outrank Them All!

When you see Search Engine Results Page in Google you know which texts are ranking well on Google. You can use that information to your own advantage.

If you are, for example, writing about the topic “How to earn money with a blog” you can go through what all the other who are ranked on the first page in Google are writing.

Then you can use the same ideas and insights in your own texts!

Read top 5 texts from Google and combine the best ideas you found from them. Include the ideas in your own texts and you are well on your way to outrank all those other competitors.

Get Ranked on the First Page in Google!

Are you interested in getting your own websites to SERP (to the first page of Google)?

There is one shortcut called PPC to get ranked on the first page but it can be expensive marketing if you don’t know how to do it right.

The better way to get free traffic is to use Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and start getting ranked for free in the search engines.

I promise to give you 10 FREE video lessons and 1-on-1 mentoring getting started and start hitting good rankings in Google. Make your free account in Wealthy Affiliate to get started.

This guitarist was convinced that Wealthy Affiliate’s training works because he achieved the first ranking in Google. Read his article -> “This Really Works!“

 

I hope this article helped you to understand what does SERP mean and how you can use it to your advantage.

Was the term “SERP” new for you?

If not, Are you using SERP in your own keyword research?

How to Generate Ideas for Content? – 3 Powerful Tips

Are you running out of content ideas? Are you pondering, “How to generate ideas for content?”

Today I will give you three powerful steps which will guarantee that you will not run out of the content ideas anymore.

First, I will give you the most powerful one

1. Create Content Daily, Publish Daily

“WHAT!?!?!? HOW COULD I PUBLISH DAILY AS I AM ALREADY RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS??”

Let me explain.

When you set yourself a goal to publish something daily in your website/blog, you force yourself to create something. You force yourself to learn.

You are not pushing yourself to learn if you just create content when you just “feel like it”.

When I was writing one post per week I just managed do that but sometimes I felt like running out of the ideas. Then at some point, I decided to try publishing EVERY SINGLE DAY. It was a crucial breakthrough.

Now as I am publishing content every day I feel that new ideas come automatically. I never feel like running out of ideas.

Before I felt that posting once a week was sometimes challenging but now I know that publishing every day is not too hard if you get used to it. Publishing every day will put your brain into a “mode” when it seeks ideas from the environment. That’s power!

I admit that publishing daily is quite an “extreme” but you can try it for example for one week and see how it works for you.

In a nutshell

• Write every day. It will become your second nature.
• Publish every day (at least answering comments on your website).
• Push your limits and reach your potential.
• You can make a test how many texts you can produce in one day (Remember also the quality, not only the quantity).

2.Study Your Niche Daily

One successful online entrepreneur was teaching about the online business and content creation. He saw how some people just study, study and study while they are never doing anything. Working, working and working it’s not good neither. You need to have a balance!

His rule of a thumb was:

Use 50% for content creation (writing, making videos, etc.) and 50% for content consumption (studying your niche)

It’s very hard to generate new ideas for content if you are not studying your subject at all.

As you begin writing something every day, it’s also important to study every day.

“But how do I have time for all that?? How can I write every day and study every day???”

That’s actually quite simple

If you have 1 hour, use 30 minutes for studying and 30 minutes for content creation.

If you have 2 hours, use 1 hour for studying and 1 hour for content creation.

When you study your subject daily you will always get new inspiration, new ideas and expand your knowledge. Little by little you will become the expert in your niche.

If you are really serious about your online business, you will use much more than 2 hours every day. If you want to succeed fast, you will use 8 hours every day. And I don’t mean using 8 hours scrolling Facebook’s or Twitter’s news feed. I mean that using 8 hours doing the real work!

Here are some tips that you can do to study your niche

• Search the blogs/channels from the niche experts
• Talk with the people who are working in your niche (in forums, in social media or “in the real life”)
• Think about the things that you want to learn in your niche. -> Write them down -> Search for the answers (-> Write a tutorial for others)

3.Be Open for the New Ideas

This is one extremely powerful!

There may be two persons. The other one sees the opportunity and gets the idea while the other one doesn’t see anything. It’s a mindset thing. Some people are always willing to learn and they see opportunities everywhere. Some people just live this life without seeing the ideas and opportunities around them. -> Be the one who sees the ideas and puts them into action.

As you study your niche be always open for the new ideas and write them down.

Don’t only sit in front your computer watching a webinar or an article but make notes at the same time. You can use the good old pen and paper or type the ideas straight to your computer.

Then after watching or reading the teaching you have already generated some new ideas for content.

And as you have generated new ideas put them into action.

The success comes to those who work for it.

Be open for the new ideas

• Keep the pen and paper with you (or use your mobile phone/iPad/laptop) to write down the ideas
• Write down ideas right away when you get it.
• Have the attitude, “Let’s see what new I am going to learn and create today.”
• Put your ideas powerfully into action as fast as you can!

Three tips on , “How to Generate Ideas for Content?”

1.Write daily, publish daily
2.Study your niche
3.Be open for the new ideas

How to Earn Money Online with a Blog? 5 Opportunities Explained

There are thousands of ways to earn money online. One of them is blogging and today I’m going to give you 5 relevant answers to the question, “How to Earn Money Online with a Blog?”

1.Google Ads

This is probably one of the most famous ways. When you have enough visitors on your blog you can earn money with Google ads.

Google Adsense is very easy to activate.

When someone clicks Google’s ads on your website, you will earn the little money.You can also contact the companies directly and ask how much they are willing to pay you if you show their ads

Google Adsense is one way to earn money with a blog but not it’s not my favorite. You can contact the companies directly and ask how much they are willing to pay you if you show their ads on your website.

2.Affiliate Marketing

In affiliate marketing, you place companies’ links or ads to your website. But you don’t get the commission when someone clicks the ad.

You get the commission when someone buys the product.

You can, for example, put the link to Amazon. Then someone clicks the link and goes to Amazon’s website. Then he/she buys the product and you get the commission of the product.

There are many good sides in affiliate marketing. For example, when you take someone to Amazon you can earn commission despite what product the visitor buys. Even if your product is a book but the visitor ends up buying clothes, you will get the commission of those clothes.

Many programs teach on the Internet to earn money through affiliate marketing. In my opinion, Wealthy Affiliate provides the best training and the community to learn to become a successful affiliate marketer.

3.Sell Your Own Products

One of the most profitable ways to earn money with a blog is to sell your own products.

Your products can be T-shirts, ebooks, online courses or anything you can imagine.

The good side when you are selling your own products is that you will get 100% of the money while in affiliate marketing or selling ads you only get some commission.

Still, the truth is that selling your own products usually requires more work than selling products from Amazon.

Amazon has already built the trust with the people. But when you are selling your own products you first need to gain trust in the eyes of your customers.

Creating your own products can still definitely be worth it as you are persistent with the marketing.

4.Private Sponsorship

As your blog becomes more and more popular you can find sponsors.

Companies related to your niche become interested in marketing their products and services in your blog.

Or for example, if you have a travel blog, the travel agency may give you a free trip if you write a review of their service and leave ads to your blog.

In order to gain this kind of sponsorship, you need to convince the company that your blog has enough traffic and it would be profitable for them to sponsor your blog.

Many times private sponsors don’t just appear but you need to be active yourself in order to them.

5.Speaking Fees and Personal Appearances

Many people don’t think this possibility at first.

But as you write a blog and gain the expertise in your niche you can have new and interesting opportunities.

You can use your blog as a merit and market yourself to become a speaker at the conferences and different kind of events of your niche.

I know that many bloggers will never become public speakers but I wanted to share this possibility to open eyes to see how many possibilities there really are as a blogger.

Having a great blog can also help you to get a work place because the boss can see your great efforts that you have made in your blog. But I bet that you don’t need to work for anyone else if as you become the more successful blogger. 😉

Conclusion

These were the 5 ideas on the question, “How to Earn Money Online with a Blog?”

1.Google Ads
2.Affiliate Marketing
3.Sell Your Own Products
4.Private Sponsorship
5.Speaking Fees and Personal Appearances

Remember that when you are writing a blog, success doesn’t come overnight. It neither comes automatically.

Sow, sow and sow. Sow little seeds of success in your blog and over the time course you can reap the harvest.

Usually, you will also need to have training on how to market your blog and how to earn money with your blog faster.

In my opinion, the best way to start earning money with a blog is Wealthy Affiliate. They provide a thorough training and the community of enthusiastic people who encourage you to push forward.

How to Embed a Youtube Video in a WordPress Blog? – Easy Instructions

Some people are asking, “How to embed a youtube video in a WordPress blog?”

That’s why today I am going to give you simple instructions how to do it easily.

But first I want to give you 2 reasons why using videos in the blog can be extremely useful.

1.Videos Make the Content More Informative

Usually, the content in the blogs is mainly images and text. But if you use in addition the voice and the video the message can be understood much better.

I made, for example, the blog post on how to get Twitter followers fast. I embedded the video instructions also to help the reader to understand the process more.

2.Videos Can Boost Your Google Rankings

Google wants to provide the most helpful and the valuable results for the searchers. As mentioned above, videos can make your content more informative and more valuable which help to rank better.

The best is if you can leverage your own videos and that way get even more visibility to your Youtube channel. But if you don’t have own videos you can also leverage other people’s videos to make your content better.

See, for example, here how I embedded other people’s Hootsuite tutorials to help my readers to use Hootsuite better.

Now let’s go through step by step how to embed videos from Youtube to a WordPress blog.

Step 1 – Open the Video That You Want to Embed in Youtube

I am going to embed a video to this blog post to show you an example.

So I open the video in Youtube. (see the image below)

Step 2 – Click “Share” – Go to “Embed”

As you can see in the image above the next thing you need to do is to click share.

It will open you the following box (image below).

DON’T COPY THE LINK THERE if you want to embed your video.

Just click embed.

Step 3 – Copy the Code

After clicking, “Embed” you will see the code that you need to copy.

By clicking, “SHOW MORE” you can go to adjust the size of the video. But you don’t need to care about it if you want to use the default size.

Step 4 – Open Your Post in the WordPress Blog

So then you open your blog post where you want to embed your video.

Step 5 – Open the “Text” View

In the text editor, you have two have views “Visual” and “Text” views.

You can change it on the top right.

So, open the “Text” view to see the code of your text (see the image below).

Step 6 – Paste the Code in the Place Where You Want

Then scroll down where you want to paste your video and copy the code there.

As you can see I paste the code of my video in this blog post to embed the video. Just paste the code that you copied in Youtube.

Then you can change back to “Visual” view and see that your own video is copied successfully.

Video Instructions on How to Embed a Youtube Video in a WordPress Blog?

Here you can see the video that I made to help you to embed a Youtube video in your WordPress blog.

Conclusion

Embedding the video in a WordPress blog is quite fast and easy. It takes probably 1-2 minutes once you have learned the process.

Here are the instructions How to Embed a Youtube Video in a WordPress Blog in a nutshell:

1.Open the video that you want to embed

2.Copy the embedding code

3.Paste the code in your WordPress blog post in “Text view”

What is The Best Social Media Marketing Tool?

There are so many social media marketing tools there that for the beginner it can feel overwhelming. When you search from the Google “What is The Best Social Media Marketing Tool?” No one seems to give you the clear answer.

There are texts like, ” 17 social media marketing tools that you can’t live without.” or “30 highest quality Twitter Tools.”

They give you so many different tools, then give 50 words description about the tool and then leave you alone. Very helpful? Not really. I have once started and been the beginner so I know how it feels to be looking for the best tool without a clear answer.

Today I want to give you my honest and clear answer on what is the best social media marketing tool and why. (Spoiler: My #1 social media tool here is Hootsuite)

Tweepi, Manageflitter, Buffer, Hootsuite…

All of these tools are good and I use them almost daily (Buffer not anymore because Hootsuite is better). I already wrote how to get Twitter followers fast by using Tweepi and how to unfollow people on Twitter by using Manageflitter. Both of those tools are great social media marketing tools but they are not the best.

In my opinion, Hootsuite is the best.

Also, the famous online entrepreneur Marc Guberti likes Hootsuite the most.

Use Several Social Medias with One Click

There are Twitter Tools. There are Facebook tools. There are Google+ tools.

But Hootsuite is the social media tool where you can use all of them at the same time.

You can connect all your social medias to Hootsuite at the same time. Once you want to publish a new post/tweet/link in your social medias you can publish in all of them with only one click.

Bulkscheduler – 350 Posts with One Click

I love bulkscheduler! It was the main reason that I decided to buy the premium account in Hootsuite.

With the bulkscheduler, you are able to publish 350 posts with only one click (okay, maybe a few clicks more but still). Actually, you can schedule 350 to all of your social media sites with only one click.

And once you have prepared your social media posts you can use them over and over again without using the time for writing and publishing them again. Hootsuite makes the work for you.

You Can Master the Best Tool!

I remember when I first started to use Hootsuite.

It didn’t feel very simple tool. So many icons and options everywhere. “How could I use this???” was my initial thought.

Then I abandoned Hootsuite for quite a while until I found it again. Buffer seemed simpler so I decided to use it. But it seemed to take too much time. Not very much but still I was thinking that there must a better way to automate tweets.

I kept on looking and after all, I found Hootsuite.

I watched some Hootsuite tutorials from Youtube and I searched Google for the answers. Then I found out that Hootsuite isn’t so complicated after all. I just needed to watch some videos to understand how it works.

So don’t worry if it feels too scary in the beginning. Just use some time for it and you will master it. Then after a little while, it feels like the simplest tool in the world.

Here is one great Hootsuite tutorial for beginners:

Hootsuite Bulkscheduler – The Power in Your Hands!

Hootsuite bulkscheduler was the main reason that I decided to buy the premium version in Hootsuite.

That tool is totally awesome and powerful!

With the  Bulkscheduler you can schedule 350 FB posts/tweets WITH ONE CLICK

Imagine how much time it would take to write your tweets and posts over and over again. With the Bulkscheduler, you need to write your posts only once and then you can publish them over and over again with one click.

Before I earned approximately 1,500-3,000 impressions on Twitter. As I started using the Bulkscheduler a number of impressions instantly jumped more than 10 times! (see the images below)

I started to have the same amount in one hour that I before had in the whole day.

Using Bulkscheduler – Prepare it and… BANG!

When you start using the Bulkscheduler you need to use a little bit of time to write and arrange your tweets.

First, it takes some time but then the effort will pay back itself VERY FAST.

Here is a great tutorial on Youtube that helped me when I started using Bulkscheduler for the first time.

As the woman explains in the video, you can arrange your tweets using Google Spreadsheet. Then download the file in CSV. format and submit it to Hootsuite.

Conclusion – What is The Best Social Media Marketing Tool?

There are many good tools out there and I recommend to use many of them. I use personally Tweepi, Manageflitter, and Hootsuite.

But if I should need to choose only one social media marketing tool it would be Hootsuite.

To get ranked in Google you need to use proper tools and training.

It provides you the comprehensive training and tools on how to drive traffic from all the search engines. In addition, I will provide my personal 1-on-1 coaching for you!

Update!!! 26.12.2016: Today I published  a review about MassPlanner which is also an awesome social media tool. I would recommend to try both MassPlanner and Hootsuite. There is a free trial in both of them so you can try them for free. I have bought the premium version of both and I can honestly say that they are worth it. They are both very cheap and you can get a great value for your money.

What is the Best Domain Hosting Site? Do You Want the Straight Answer?

There are hundreds of different service providers for domain hosting. So the relevant question is, “what is the best domain hosting site?”

The best domain hosting site is Wealthy Affiliate.

Straight question, straight answer. 😉

Okay, I’m going to explain to you why Wealthy Affiliate is superior to other services.

Price

For most of the people, the price is one of the most decisive factors when buying any product.

In Wealthy Affiliate, the yearly premium membership is $349/year = $29/month.

With the yearly membership, one can get hosting for hosting services for 25 sites. 

Let’s see how much the same service costs in the other websites. One big provider is WPEngine which has over 45,000 customers worldwide. Here is the image how much their hosting costs.

25 websites cost $249/month which makes almost $3,000/year! The price is almost ten times higher than in Wealthy Affiliate.

“What If I’m Looking for the Hosting for Only One Website?”

Probably you don’t have 25 websites and you are just looking for hosting for your blog or Internet store.

“Where to get the hosting for only one website?”

Answer: from Wealthy Affiliate.

If you search the Internet you can find several services that provide hosting for less than $29/month. GoDaddy, GoDaddy, Hostgator or Webs.com for just to mention some of these low-quality services.

Sometimes you can see their offers, “CHEAP HOSTING!! $5/month!!” but you get what you pay for. First of all, some of those platforms that ARE NOT specific to WordPress

There are several reasons why Wealthy Affiliate beats cheap services like 6-0.

Here are listed a couple of reasons

• A highly optimized, simplified and continually improving hosting platform
• The ability to MOVE your websites easily from one domain to another IN SECONDS.
• The access to unlimited FREE websites
• The latest and greatest hosting technology (your websites are always hosted on the highest powered servers available)
• Totally automated recovery processes
• Personal website maintenance
• Removal of bad (scam) plugins and themes
• Well functioning spam management

Those reasons are only talking about the quality of the service.

Tons of “Bonuses” Included

When you get your domain hosting from most of the providers you will get ONLY THE DOMAIN HOSTING but nothing more.

The things are quite different in Wealthy Affiliate.

There are several “bonuses” that make WA superior to the other providers and here are listed 10 of them.

1. 24/7/365 The Community and the Live Help
2. Access to Successful Online Entrepreneurs and Industry Experts
3. Weekly Webinars
4. World Class Training on How to Make Money Online (1,000’s of resources)
5. Personal Access to the Owners (This you won’t find in many places!)
6. Unlimited Access to the Website Builder
7. Awesomely Simple and Practical Keyword Tool
8. One of the Most Lucrative Affiliate Programs in the World
9. Incentive Programs
10. Business Productivity Tools (Link Tracking and Stats)

The list is quite convincing.

If You Succeed and Want to Increase a Number of Your Websites…

Let’s say that you end up buying the domain hosting from GoDaddy. The price for 1 website is $6,99/month. Then, for any reason, you want to have another website and you need hosting for that.

If you continue in GoDaddy the price goes up and you pay already $11.99/month.

For the third website, you start to pay $20.99/month. Just compare that in Wealthy Affiliate you pay $29/month for 25 websites and you get the access to all the tools and services mentioned before.

The Main Reason Why Wealthy Affiliate is the Winner

In my honest opinion, Wealthy Affiliate is the winner not only because of their magnificent domain hosting but for their training, community, support, and motivation.

GoDaddy or WPEngine don’t teach you how to earn money online but Wealthy Affiliate teaches you everything right from the start and provides a very motivating and encouraging community.

I tend to think that I mainly pay for their training and all of the other things come as a wonderful extra.

If you need more perspective on domain hosting and comparisons I recommend reading this article.

Conclusion

The best domain hosting site is Wealthy Affiliate. There are other cheaper services that can work somehow but if you are serious about earning money online Wealthy Affiliate beats other services easily.

I have never had any kind of technical problems with WA so I can say from the experience that their service really works.

Is Google Adsense Any Good? Let Me Be Honest.

Many people who want to earn money with the blogs and websites are wondering, “Is Google Adsense any good?” or “Is Google Adsense worth it?”

Today I’m going to give you an answer to those questions and tell what one online millionaire talks about the subject.

How Does Google Adsense Work?

1.You have a website

2.You put the Google Ads on your website

3.You get paid some pennies/cents when the visitor clicks the ad on your website.

(4.The visitor ends up to the advertiser’s website)

So the process is quite simple. Notice that you don’t get paid for everyone who sees the ads but for everyone who clicks the ad.

Then you can see your revenue and statistic from Google Adsense.

Is Google Adsense Easy Money?

No. In the beginning of my online marketing career, I thought that it would be easy to earn some little cash just to put some Google ads on my site. I was wrong.

I had a blog with about 1,000/monthly visitors (which is not very much but still something). I activated Google ads on my site just to see how well it works. Google ads were on my site for almost two months and guess how much I earned.

Nothing. $0!

The moral of the story is that if you are looking for a quick cash, Google Adsense is not the best. You will need a lot of traffic to your website before you can start earning any decent money with Google Adsense.

#1 Google Adsense Tip!

Do you know Pat Flynn? He is a very successful online entrepreneur and he is a real expert in online marketing. His #1 Google Adsense Tip is, “Don’t use Google Adsense!”

You may think, “Why not to use it? Would it be a great way to earn little extra income?”

Look at the image below (click the image to make it large).

As we learned before you get paid when someone clicks on the ad and ends up on the advertiser’s website.

But the problem is that Google is taking some money in between. Let’s say that the advertiser pays $0,20 every time when someone clicks the ad. $0,10 goes to Google and $0,10 goes to you. But what if you could get the whole $0,20? (numbers are just for the example)

What if you could contact the advertiser and say that he can place his ad to your website without Google?

You could easily boost your income because you don’t have the pay Google anymore! The advertiser and you are happy. Win-win.

Don’t be afraid to contact the advertiser straight because he will very probably be happy if someone is willing to advertise his products.

Do People Like Random Ads?

The reality is that we have become quite “immune” to the ads on the Internet. People don’t click them too much.

Google ads can work sometimes but actually more targeted ads are better. When you activate Google ads on your website, you can’t fully control what people see. But when you contact the advertiser straight you can decide what kind of ads you want to show.

My suggestion for you is to put ads that are very relevant to your niche. If your niche is “women’s kettlebell training” put the kettlebell ads.

If your niche is about “how to play piano”, put ads of the piano courses.

A Better Way – Affiliate Marketing

With Google ads, you can only earn pennies per ad but with affiliate marketing, you can earn $100, $200 or $1,400 with one single ad.

In affiliate marketing, you get the certain commission of the products that people end up buying.

It’s very powerful way to earn money. Compare earning $0,05 per Google ad vs. $100 of promoting the product you can honestly recommend and you even use yourself.

Thousands of companies have affiliate programs that you can join. Most of the time you just need to fill out the form and to become an affiliate marketer. You don’t even need to think how to market your website for the “advertiser” but you become accepted almost automatically.

Conclusion – Is Google Adsense any good? 

Is Google Adsense worth it?

You can earn some money with it. I know people who have earned hundreds of dollars with Google Adsense.

But in my opinion, there are better and more profitable ways to earn money online like affiliate marketing.

In Youtube, Google Adsense is a great resource to earn money but in your own website, you don’t need it.

Just contact the advertiser and you will earn bigger commissions ($1,4000/sale).

Here is Pat Flynn’s video Passive Income Streams 101 where he explains his #1 Google Adsense Tip (starts at 4:14).

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

How to Write for Blogs? – 5 Practical Tips

If you want to earn money by blogging you may be interested in hearing the answer to the question, “How to Write for Blogs?”

Today I am going to give you 5 practical tips how you can write for your blogs to increase your traffic, engagement, search engine rankings and revenue.

Let’s go!

1.Think That You Are Writing to One Person

This will help your reader to read your texts. Give them the feeling that there are just two persons, You and the reader.

One successful online entrepreneur Jermaine Griggs gives piano courses on the Internet. He teaches tens of thousands of people from all around the world. Still he can give the personal feeling in his blog posts and video training.

He says for example, “Lay back. Relax. Just you and me.” and then comes the piano training.

Is not a coincidence that this guy is a millionaire.

He is teaching a huge amount of people but still he gives the feeling that there is only he and the student.

Don’t think that you are writing to 1,000 people but think that you are writing to only one person.

It will make your blog more personal.

2.Think That You Are Writing for Your Friend

If you want to earn money with your blog you must be helping people and providing them something valuable. Some beginners in affiliate marketing make the mistake of always trying to sell something without providing any important value.

One useful trick to help your mind to create more useful ideas is to think how would you help your friend. How would you write to your best friend?

Would you sell him/her all the time and try to push all your products in front of him? If you would do that I may ask, how long are you waiting for your friendship to last?

Everyone loves friendly people. People love it when someone helps and does something for them.

3.Give Answers

We love it when someone gives valuable answers for our questions.

For example, I am thinking sometimes questions like, “How to increase the results in the gym faster?” “How to win in chess?” “How to be a better disciple of Jesus?”

If someone comes and tells me the answers for that kind of questions I’m more than willing to hear.

BUT

I am not willing to hear invaluable answers. And neither are other people. So be sure that when you are providing answers that they really answer the questions and give something that isn’t so obvious.

Of course, sometimes “the obvious answers” are good to say out loud because we humans tend to forget the important things. Most of the motivational speeches are just repeating “the obvious things” that people tend to forget in the middle of their busy lives.

 

4.Think About Your Audience

This may sound obvious but still some people tend to forget this one. If your blog is about dog training, don’t talk about your journey in Mexico. Okay, you can tell a story about your journey if you can relate it somehow to your actual topic which is dog training.

If you can tell captivating stories, they are always nice! But don’t talk about the subjects that are not related to your website.

For example, my blog is about earning money online and everything related to that topic. I will not write here the articles about language learning or the gym even though they are my other interests. My audience would be bored.

Instead, I concentrate on the topics that are relevant to “make money online” -subject.

5.Be Straight

Have you ever went to the blog post where the introduction seems to last too long and you just get bored and click for the next post.

I’ve experienced it many times.

Probably the writers are trying to build the momentum but many times the person on the Internet is just finding for the quick answers and you have 10 seconds to convince that you have what he/she is looking for.

• Don’t write introductions of 300 words!
• Go straight to your point.
• Give clear instructions and points
• Give conclusion
