Monthly Income Report: January 2010

I know that it has been a while since I started one of these but I have been really this past few months and have not had time to assess my online work. But, it will be done this month and I hope I will learn from the many mistakes that I have had. I have made several changes to how I work and what I do online and off. Some of them have helped me through a lot and some have not. So, I think I will assess what I have done this month, show you my earnings and then say some ideas I will do for the future.

In the month of December I happened to be on of the unlucky persons to be shut out of the Google Adsense account. So I can no longer make money online using the famous google adsense. I was pretty mad at first but I looked at my earnings and discovered I really wasn't making anything from Adsense anyway. I also can focus more on a few sites to make money rather than several. I will no longer write for sites like Infobarrel because you can only make money through Adsense. I think the adsense shutdown has helped me in getting more focused on a few sites rather than several.

Another crazy thing that happened in the past few months was the launch of eHow's UK site. That site has caused more trouble for us American eHow earnings than ever before. In January, several earners and writers of ehow saw there earnings decrease day after day. People began writing more and more in the forums and soon Rich (one of the community managers) finally wrote what was happening. Basically,eHow was taking out U.S. articles and posting them on the UK site, that sounds good right? Wrong! Because the thing they did not mention was that people clicking on ads on the UK version of your article did not earn you money. So they were taking our articles which have been making us and eHow money for years and not paying us when they posted them on the UK site. People began to protest until eHow got there act together, they soon took all the U.S. articles off the UK site. And, soon we might even get paid (or hopefully reimbursed) for having articles on the UK site.

I started working on triond and squidoo this month as well. I only made a whopping .67 cents but I think I may need to do a bit more research on triond to see what really makes money from it. That goes the same for Squidoo because I have not worked on anything like it before. I want to increase my earnings on sites like eHow and Bukisa before I start on any other site though. I did posts a few articles and Squidoo lenses just to get an idea of each site. But I will do more research and write fro each of them exclusively as my earnings increase.

If you have been following my blog for a bit you may have noticed that I changed it a lot. I have a new wordpress them for it and I think it works better and looks a bit more professional than my basic blogspot ugly blue background. I hope this will attract more visitors and keep them on the site for longer. I think I am becoming more satisfied with the look for the blog but it still may change as my knowledge increases.

Another thing I really started getting into was Amazon Associates. I really promoted amazon links a lot this month to see how I did. I may need to do a lot more research on how to place and where to place an Amazon link so I can really maximize my profit on the site. But anyways, here is my earnings for January:

eHow: $84.93
Triond: $0.67
Bukisa: $6.23
Amazon: $4.50
Regage: 9.33 (total)

Total: $105.66


Not much but I think I need to make a lot of changes this month if I want to increase my earnings. Theproblem that I have had ever since I started was having a game plan before I got to 'work.' If I don't have one tend to get lazy and never get anything accomplished. That is why I have become organized when I start working online. My goals are very specific and it is not in terms of money. Instead, I plan on working in terms of tasks. That will give me something to do every day when I get up and go to the computer. On the weekdays, I plan on writing 2 articles a day on eHow and Bukisa. And, I will also bookmark 5 posts on sites like redgage. Along with that, I need to finish reposting the articles on site like Xomba and Infobarrel to sites like Triond or Bukisa because I can't earn from Adsense. But I will only do that on the weekends. I will also be doing some work on the weekends. That will also include 2 articles a day and 10 bookmarks because I have more time on my hands. So:

Weekdays: 2 articles a day, 5 bookmarks a day
Weekends: 2 articles a day, 10 bookmarks a day

This should keep me on a schedule and really help me focus on the 'work' that I have to do rather than the money. If I do the work I really automatically see the money come in. It is simple as that and I should see some improvements in how I work.

Hope this helps you in making money online. Good Luck. I'll try to keep you posted.

How to Write Articles On Bukisa: Types

Bukisa is still a very difficult site for me in terms of making money. The problem is that you need to figure out what type of article you need to write for the site. Many sites have certain types of articles that each site has. There is one type of article to write on eHow, which is How-to articles. I found an article on the official Bukisa Blog that has the Highest Earner on Bukisa giving tips on how to write and earn. In 2009 he made $2.527.10 with only 198 published online. It is a very inspiring article which you should read. Basically, he tells us that you should write articles that are interesting, entertaining, educational and relevant. If they have atleast 2 or more than you should go right ahead and write about it. If not, than you are wasting your time. If you haven't yet, I suggest you sign-up for a free account at Bukisa and start getting paid to write.

I looked through a lot of his articles I discovered that he has a lot of list type articles. I would say the 3/4 of all his articles are lists about "The Worlds Fastest..." or "The Worlds Largest..." One of his articles is "The World's Fastest Trains." And he has about 10 or 20 trains which are the fastest trains in the world. He simply does the research, includes a picture of it and then writes a paragraph or two on each train. It's a very simple formula, but a very good one. Therefore, I do believe that taking advantage of the List format is important for earning on sites like Bukisa. The only way you earn from bukisa is from how many page views you recieve. The list format or the "Worlds Greatest..." format is a great way to get visitors. They learn something and who doesn't want to read about something cool like "The Most Expensive Cars."

I believe I am going to take advantage of this and see how it works out. I do not believe I am going to make as much money, at first, as this Nobert Bermosa because now that the "Secret" is out many people will copy his advice. I do hope Nobert the best in 2010 but I am definitely going to take advantage of the "Best of" type of articles. The great thing about this is because you can have so many possibilities for articles of that nature. I'll keep you up-dated on how this works out for me. Hopefully this idea will give you a better idea on how to make money online from Bukisa.

Work Smart, Not Hard Online

I have been thinking about the way I work online and if it is affecting how I earn. I have been making money online for a few months and I must say that I do love it. But I do not think I am working in a smart way. I can say that I have been working hard because I wrote over 200 ehow articles in less than a month in the summer. But, I don't think working hard is the best way to make money online. You have to work in a smart way so you can really see your money grow. Writing one really good article every day is a lot better than writing ten short and crappy articles a day. That is why it's important to really think about how you work, I believe the saying is "Work Smart, not Hard."

I work on several sites and I make money from all of them. However the way I work is probably not the best way. As of now, I have been trying to work on one site at a time and just forget about the others. Instead, I should have been working on all the sites so they can all grow at the same time. Neglecting one site while working on another is going to stop for me. Instead, I will work on several so I can maximize my income for each. I think I will have a weekly 'to-do' list instead that will get me to do some work on most (if not all) of the sites. For example, I might say I want to get at least 3 articles, 10 amazon links, 20 bookmarks and 4 blog posts. I don't have to do all of these tasks every day. I might write an article and 2 blog posts one day and the next I could post 6 bookmarks. This will help me avoid burn out and really keep it energized to making money online.

For January and February, I have an idea on which sites I want to work on. These sites are going to be Ehow, Amazon, Triond, Redgage and Bukisa. I think this will be good because I have a good amount of sites so I don't get bored and diversify my earnings. That's a very important thing when you make money online anyway. If you are just making money from one site and if that site shuts down or something happens where your earning drastically decrease you are going to panic. I can write articles one day, put some bookmarks another day or edit articles that I have already written. I'll keep you updated on how this change increases or decreases my earnings. I hope this helps you and gives you some ideas on how you can make money online.

How to Come up with Article Ideas

There are some days when you wake up and sit at your computer to work online when you can write about 20 different topics. Other days you can not think of a single idea to write about. I am writing this article to help me and anyone else on how to come up with ideas to write about. This article came out of a comment I received on one of my blog posts and because one day I just could not figure out what to write. This should be a learning experience for both you and me. Through brainstorming and browsing articles on the internet I cam up with a good solution:

Write Down Topics You Like:
So the first thing I usually do when I am thinking about writing articles online are subjects I like. This is very easy because if you are human you know that you like certain things more than others. Maybe you like to write about basketball, bugs, computers, popular culture, fashion, or what ever else you LIKE to talk about.

Write Down The Subtopics of These Topics:
Once you have your topics try and think of subtopics that you could write about. This is good because you can increase the amount of articles you write and have a focused article which will rank higher on the search engines. Say you want to write about basketball; you could divide that into topics about how to play good defense, shooting from the three-throw line, dribbling, being a team player, how to practice layups, how to shake a defender...There are so many subtopics you can think about writing for your main ones. It may take a bit more time but you will benefit from doing this.
 
Write Down Topics You Want to Know About:
Everyone wants to know about something sooner or later. Think about some topics that you want to learn about but never did. You could be killing two birds with one stone with this method. It can be something as easy as 'how to have good table manners' to 'how to mod a computer desktop.' What ever the topic might be, you will have to do some research on it if you want to make your article any good. You don't want to take too much time on researching or you will have no time writing the article. You should spend about 20 to 30 minutes researching a topic and then start writing. As I stated above, you can even write about subtopics of the subjects you have picked.

Use Google Trends:
If you are really running out of ideas you should give Google Trends a try. It is a program on Google that will show you a list of the top most searched topics of the day and any day previous to that day. The search engine topics will fluctuate throughout the entire day and may drop off at any time. That is why it is so unpredictable and some topics may never be high on the search engines the very next day. So in a way, some of your articles may be a one hit wonder which is not ideal if you want to make residual income online.
