Hello,

I recently found a site, subvert and profit, which pays you to vote on
social media sites, like youtube, digg, or stumbleupon. There are people out there who would give anything to get views for their video, or get their article on the front page on digg. That’s where this site comes in.

You get paid between 60 to 75 cents for each task. Right now I get a minimum of 2, 3 tasks during the day, but sometimes when there are lots of advertisers you can get much more. One night I made 8$ in under 10 minutes.It’s a matter of luck, and how much time you spend online. You don’t have to keep checking the site, there’s toolbar for firefox you can install, which alerts you of any tasks. You just have to keep your browser open.

Apart from task earnings there is a 10% refferal bonus. This is actually very useful, right now refferal bonuses are half of my earnings here. It pays to get refferals because for each task your refferal completes you get 8 cents, rather than 1 cent, like other paid to sites. You can see how this could work to your advantage. If you have only 10 active refferals who each earn you 0.24$ a day you get 2.4$ a day.

There are several ways to make money off the internet. My personal favourite is affiliate marketing but that is just one way.

If you are running a blog the idea is also to run promotions for other peoples products and by referring them to a site such as Amazon then you will get a commission if they buy. There are also sites that will pay you if the visitor volunteers details such as an e-mail address so that they can then send them information.

There are numerous different ways of monetising a website. Putting Google ads on is yet another possibility.

Now to your original question “How do you make money off blogs?” The idea is that to make sales you obviously have to have visitors. These visitors have to be interested in what you have to say if you want them to be regular visitors and you have to offer them what they are looking for if you want to turn them into customers.

To get visitors in the first place you need to have an internet presence that will show up on the search engines.
Just as an example say you were running a website on photography. If people put “photography” into google search then millions of sites would show up (922,000,000 to be precise) and the chances of yours being found would be minute.
However if you included a page on your site describing photography for pensioners then there are actually only 2 sites on google UK that have exactly that term in their title. A lot more show up if you put photography for pensioners but put it in “” and only 2 do. Now you have leverage to get to top of google. No good of course if nobody is searching for that term (Google statistics tells me that no one is) but you get the idea.

You would then describe photographic books aimed at older people (there are some out there) and direct them to Amazon where they could buy them. Each page on your blog would be targeted at a different small part of the market where you have a far better chance of being found.

Google like to see fresh useful content too so by regularly updating your blog and encouraging comment and interaction then you improve your ranking. There is far more to it than that of course but I think I have rambled on enough.

What are you good at say for the sake of argument you are good at carving so you start carving a few figures start a website and start selling them on the Internet it doesn’t have to be carving anything you may be good at would do or you could try buying things off eBay and reselling them
