eBay.com, arguably one of the best known ecommerce site in the entire world, has always been a breeding ground for internet entrepreneurs, marketing geniuses, and other like-minded individuals. With the potential to make endless amounts of money and start your own business without ever stepping out of your house, it’s easy to see why eBay is such a popular subject in the growing arena of entrepreneurs. Still going strong after roughly twelve years of operation, eBay.com is a great place for rookies and veterans of the selling game to try their hands at making extra cash. Below are three ways that average people make money on eBay:
1. Dropshipping. Although dropshipping on isn’t as popular as it was a few years ago due to fraudulent companies and scammers, dropshipping is still widely used and for established sellers, is a great way to make extra income. Basically, dropshipping is a method of selling an item where an individual retailer will advertise the product on eBay, sell, and collect the money for it, then contact a larger merchant or warehouse where the item is actually stored and have them ship the item to the consumer for a percentage of the profit. The consumer usually does not know that the larger merchant is involved in the process, and most of the time the dropshipper will let you include your own business name on the packaging, invoices, and receipts. To successfully dropship on eBay, one must do plenty of market research to see what is selling, and how much it’s selling for. There is usually tons of competition for the same product, so try to find something unique and trendy, and never get too greedy with price, as someone will always try to undercut you.
2. Wholesale lots. Another method of making money on eBay is buying many pieces of one product at a time for wholesale price, and reselling the product individually. For example, a wholesale purchaser may buy 100 Ipod Nanos at $75.00 each, and successfully resell them at $125.00 each – essentially making somewhere in the neighborhood of $5000.00. That was just an example, but many people are having great success doing this on a daily basis. There are plenty of opportunities to buy wholesale products or lots off of eBay or other suppliers, if you’re willing to shell out the initial money. Keep in mind, you need to charge appropriate shipping costs, as you’ll be shipping out everything yourself. Shipping costs on top of listing fees and other related fees can eat your profit margin down to the point where it’s not worth it, so make sure you do the research and find a product that sells very well with less competition. With the holidays right around the corner, many opportunities are out there, you just have to find them.
3. Buy low, sell high. A favorite method of average sellers, there are many different items that you can buy cheap from other sources and resell for a much higher price on eBay. Most of the types of items that fit this category are consumer electronics such as iPhones, iPods, laptop computers, car audio, and things of that nature. One of the best places to find this stuff for cheap is Craigslist.com. Craigslist, especially if you live in or near a major city, can be a real treasure trove of people unloading new and used electronics for dirt cheap. If you’re willing to spend the money up front, with careful research, you can find deals that will possibly makes hundreds of dollars of profit. This is a relatively unused method, but is arguably the easiest way to make money online for the average person with a little bit of investment cash.
There are many more methods to making money with eBay, but the three above are probably the most popular, and easiest to get started with. I hope they help you on your journey to make money online.
As odd as the title of this post sounds, there is quite a bit of truth in it. Think about the last time you though about venturing out onto the internet to make some extra money. I would probably win if I bet that you pulled up Google and searched for something along the lines of “how to make money online,” or “make money on the internet.” Am I right? Even better, what most likely resulted from that Google search were hundreds, if not thousands of blogs that all claim to be the number one source for teaching people how to make money on the internet.
Right away, by quickly analyzing those blogs, and using common sense, you should be able to realize that the types of people that really make money online are the ones that want to show you how to do the same thing! Often, you’ll end up on one of these blogs and with the unbelievable amount of persuasive selling language and presentation techniques; you’ll be spending money on the latest ebook that promises you riches beyond your wildest dreams. This is all a result of a level of trust that was built up during your cumulative time spent on that blog, and with the authors recommendation, you spent the money. This resulted in the blog author making money, as well as the actual author of the ebook or whatever digital product or service you purchased.
So what am I getting at?
When someone starts a blog about making money online, a lot, if not most of the time the actual blog author isn’t making tremendous amounts of money, even though he/she claims to be and freely gives out advice and recommendations on how to do the same. Some might find this unethical or dirty, but in all reality, it’s just part of the whole “make money online” grand scheme. Most of the ebooks you purchase have claims that the author drives sports cars, lives in a mansion, and spends most of his/her time on the beach with a notebook PC on their lap. Sometimes this is true, but most of the time it’s not. By presenting the image that you already make money online and providing proof (even if it’s fake), people gain a false sense of hope and trust, and in an attempt to emulate your success, they’ll usually shell out cold, hard cash to get to the same level.
If you don’t have the skills to write an ebook about a particular method on how to make money online, consider starting a more generalized blog about how you make money online. With a little research and organization, you can quickly produce some suggestive articles that give off the impression that you’re serious and know how to put money in the bank from the internet. It’ll take time, but build up your reader base, traffic, and stats, and eventually you’ll actually be making decent money online, which, if managed properly, can grow exponentially over time.
Bottom line, start making money online (or at least claim to be) and with a good plan, you’ll eventually turn your fantasy into a reality. When you prove your success to the masses, more money will flow, and it will definitely turn your lie into a reality!

Does anyone remember back in the good old days when Napster was nothing more than a couple of a naughty college boys “fighting the power” of the music industry? Yes, way back in the 90s, Napster was the “bad boy” online application that established businesses both resented and feared. So have they been able to keep up this bad boy, outsider image in the new millennia? Not exactly…
Beginning sometime in November, Napster Inc. will start offering “Napster Mobile” to AT&T wireless network subscribers. Customers will be able to download songs over the air from a huge variety of over 5 million tracks.
Yes, it you read that right. Napster, the former feared and hated adversary of big business everywhere, has just inked a deal with perhaps the oldest of the old guard, AT&T. Strange bedfellows indeed.
But it’s a brave — and some would say sad — new world out there, and Napster Inc. appears to be chasing consumers with all the verve of a Fortune 500 corporation. The Napster deal with AT&T is all the more striking when you consider the company began with two friends in a college dorm room helping friends to share music files online.
But the new Napster — Napster Inc. — has virtually nothing in common with its earliest beginnings. Instead of “fighting the power,” Napster now seems hell-bent on “becoming the power.” And the new agreement with AT&T could be just the kind of savvy corporate deal to make that happen.
Under the terms of the new agreement, AT&T customers will have access to five downloadable music tracks per month for the price of $7.49. Another option allows single song downloads for the set price of $1.99 per song. In addition, AT&T users will be offered five songs free upon signing up with the new Napster Mobile.
AT&T vice president Mark Collins says that the new agreement “reinforces AT&T’s leadership in providing the industry’s largest mobile music platform.” The company already has an agreement in place with Apple to use its iTunes music download service, and a separate agreement with eMusic, which claims to be the world’s largest independent music distributor, with over 2.7 million titles in its inventory.
Adding Napster downloads to these previous agreements helps solidify AT&T’s dominance in the mobile music marketplace. The company has even convinced pop group Matchbox Twenty to debut its new album on the new Napster Mobile service.
This type of aggressive promotion bodes well for the new AT&T-Napster Mobile agreement and is sure to keep shareholders happy. The Rebel Napster of the ’90s may be long gone, but the new Napster’s mission statement appears to be, “if you can’t beat them–join them.”

So you’ve started a blog, built up a nice readership, traffic is starting to flow, and links are coming in, what do you do next? Monetize! Making money from your blog is a very rewarding process, because essentially you are indirectly paid to do something that you’ve probably been doing for free just for the fun of it. Revenue from your blog can become (over time) very large, and possibly to the extent that you would need a team to manage it. Of course, this level of success is every blogger’s dream, but on the way to financial freedom, you have to start somewhere. Listed below are five easy ways to start monetizing your blog. Enjoy!
1. Google AdSense
This one is almost a given. Even if you’re blog is an hour old, you can slap a few Google AdSense ads on it. The likelihood of making any money that soon is slim, but it’s just nice to know that you can quickly have a way for possible extra income. The general consensus amongst A-List bloggers is that you shouldn’t consider putting Google AdSense (or monetizing at all) until around the three month mark. This isn’t true for everyone, but overall three months is suggested. This is because by the three month mark, if you’ve posted helpful content regularly, you should have a decent amount of traffic coming in. To make money with Google AdSense, you get paid when someone clicks on one of the ads, so you don’t have to be a scientist to know that the more traffic you get, the more money you stand to make. This applies with every monetizing method available.
2. Kontera ContentLink
Kontera is a great way to start making extra money with your blog because of its uniqueness in how it’s deployed. When you are approved by Kontera to install the ad code on your blog, you’ll notice certain keywords in your posts being double-highlighted. These are ContentLinks, and every time someone clicks on one, you get paid. While it’s not much per click, it can really add up over time, and when you start having thousands of visitors per month, Kontera can be a major chunk of your income. Perhaps the greatest asset in using Kontera is since it utilizes existing keywords that were written by you, it takes up virtually no extra space on your blog. Advertisement clutter can be a big turnoff on most blogs, and by using Kontera, you don’t have to worry about this.
3. Affiliate Links
If you’re interested in making money with a blog, chances are good that you’re at least somewhat familiar with affiliate programs. When you place affiliate links on your blog, and someone clicks through and purchases their product or service, you get a commission. These can be great money-makers if used correctly, and one of the best ways to do deploy affiliate links is to insert them in relevant posts. Let’s say you are writing a post about the importance of article submission; you could quickly find an article submission software that offers an affiliate program, and place that link within the post so that it ties in together. Easy sales can be made this way, rather than just blatantly posting the links on your sidebar, header, or footer. Some of the wealthiest people on earth made their fortunes from capitalizing on affiliate programs.
4. PayPerPost.com or SponsoredReviews.com
Both sites basically offer the same thing. Companies will pay you (depending on how popular you are and your traffic levels) to review their products/services on your blog, and often handsomely. In order for bloggers and these companies to connect, PPP or SponsoredReviews have marketplaces where bloggers can accept review opportunities for cold, hard cash. Usually paid monthly or bi-monthly, revenue from doing paid reviews is often one of the main sources for income each month – especially when your blog becomes popular. It isn’t unheard of for big bloggers to make upwards of $400-$700 per review.
5. RSS Feed Ads
This source is geared towards those with higher feed counts, but simply stated, if you have a decent amount of readers that primarily read your blog through a feed reader, you can actually have ads placed at the bottom of the feed (from Feedburner.com for example) and whenever they are clicked, you get paid. Again, unless you have a large subscribership, the proceeds will be little to none, but over time, and as your blog grows in popularity; feed ads can be another large part of your monthly income.

Having too many distractions at work is really bad, especially for people who are always in a strict deadline at all times. The worst part is, if you’re like me who has an attention span of a seven year old kid, you can’t really get things done. There’s always something in the internet that makes me want to check – the latest scores, the latest news, even the latest gossip of actors and actresses I really don’t care about. Of course, the number one distraction in the world – online games, will always be there to bother me whenever I can’t do something right. Some say it’s one way to relieve the stress but I think they are just distractions.
I think the people that run Mozilla has the same problems. That’s why Mozilla has sponsored a program called WebRunner. This type of program has been called the Site Specific Browser while others call this program a Distraction Free Browser. I think the latter classification really hits the spot. It may get you confused at first but you’ll be able to get the things that you want when you figure out what to do with the program.
Once you install the program, you’ll definitely get nothing at first. There are no shortcuts or programs that will give you a blank page. In fact, the only link you can get for the program is the uninstall part. The program will only run if you have a webapp file. You can either create a webapp file or you can create your own webapp file. Creating one is also a challenge for first time users, but the good news is, there are lots of sites that offer free download of webapp files for this program. These files are usually for productivity use only.
After I downloaded the program, I immediately found a site where it offers free downloads of webapp files. As a curious onlooker I tried out the Gmail version of the site. Without much problem, I’ve downloaded the file, and was able to run Gmail in a separate window. The first thing that you will notice when running Gmail on WebRunner is like running a website in an F11 status – you won’t find any tabs that you can use. But unlike F11 websites, a webapp file on Gmail will only run in Gmail. You will notice there are other links such as Google Docs, Reader and other things. If you click on them, don’t expect that WebRunner will open another site. It will eventually open the site, but not there. It will open a web browser and show the page you clicked on.
You can also create your own webapp file. Mozilla has laid out step by step instructions on how you can create your own file. As a first time user you might get confused on what to do, so the best thing so far is to look for free webapp files.
WebRunner will definitely take away your eyes from different sites that you don’t want to use. Even though it’s a simple program, it’s definitely a must have for any researchers or developers out there.

Sometimes, wading through the countless number of ebooks available on the internet can be a rather daunting task. On the off chance that you are actually looking for an ebook on a specific, legit subject, you’ll often have to perform due diligence to make sure you’re getting a genuinely good ebook filled with the information you seek. Ebooks are widely popular, and for every subject or “how-to” situation that exists in today’s world, you can bet that there has probably been an ebook written about it. With so many ebooks around, especially ones written on the subject of making money online, one has to wonder why so many people are putting these together and selling them, even in a stiffly competitive market…
Because They Sell, That’s Why!
Anyone who has written and successfully marketed a well written ebook knows that the market for ebooks is still untapped, even though it’s seemingly overcrowded. No matter what you write on, there will always be a group of people that want the information, and by seeing it available in a book form, they recognize that as an authoritative guide on how to accomplish whatever it is they are doing. The “become a millionaire in a week” style is highly over-used, yet people still continually buy them! As long as your book is marketed effectively (always plan on spending a bit of money to get your name out there, if you want true success) you stand the chance of cashing in on people who so desperately seek the knowledge that you’ve written in text form. On the other hand, for a better chance of success, try writing an ebook on a specialized subject for better sales results. For example, if you’re a dog groomer by trade, write a book about “How to properly trim a French Poodle for competition.” Some aspiring ebook authors are afraid to get too specific, but little do they know that they will make significantly more money doing it that way. Going back to the dog groomer example, that person could follow up with an ebook on every breed of dog that they’re familiar with, and can become incredibly wealthy by marketing and selling them.
How Do I Make An Ebook?
It’s a lot easier then you think! First, purchase or download a few ebooks as closely related to the subject you’re choosing to write on as possible, so you can get a feel for the flow and how it’s all put together. After deciding how you want the book to sound, open up your favorite word processing program, and simply start writing! You will likely end up with pages and pages of content, add in some pictures or graphics if possible, edit and re-edit until you think it’s done. It’s best to then have a friend go though or even a professional editor to make final checks. Once this is complete, you have an ebook, it’s just not packaged yet.
While there are a few different ways to package an ebook, the best way to do this is to download a free program called Primo PDF, and package it as a .pdf document (probably the most popular method). It’s a simple two step process, and when you have the final product in .pdf form, you’re ready to go to market!
Although marketing your ebook could be extensively written about, the best thing to do for beginners is become a member (if you’re not already one) of some of the big webmaster/internet forums like Digital Point and Warrior Forums, abide by the posting rules in their buy/sell/trade section, and start selling! Write up a simple sales post, and offer your ebook for sale. If it’s a good subject, and you have a well put together sales post, you’d be surprised at the amount of sales you can make off of forums alone. Offer review copies to the more established forum members, and as soon as the positive reviews come in, you’ll be on your way to cashing in with your very own ebook.

There are a few different types of strategies that budding entrepreneurs use to make money by blogging. One of the easiest and more common ways to monetize a blog is to sell advertising space to companies and other websites that want to target the demographics of a specific blog. This is widely popular and more blog authors are jumping on this wagon than ever before, due to how easy it is. Another popular way of making money with a blog is by designing a blog that focuses on a single brand that will improve its image by creating positive images between the blog and the product in the mind of the reader and/or consumer. Each of these methods have the opportunity to make the blogger a nice amount of residual or straight-up profit, especially if they excel in the marketing arena.
If you are among the blog authors that are aiming at selling targeted advertising, there are a couple ways that you can start recruiting sponsors who want to put their ads on your blog; you can let someone else do all of the grunt work, or you can do the work yourself and keep 100% of the resulting revenue.
Within the first group, many bloggers make money by showing ads from the Google AdSense program and similar ad publishing sources. Very little effort is required when you decide to show Ads from Google AdSense, and if you are showing them on a hot niche with good traffic, there is potential for a lot of money to be made. In reality, most bloggers who start showing AdSense ads are disappointed at best when they see their earnings in the beginning. The key to making decent money with Google AdSense is to have a quality, non-overcrowded niche with fresh, unique content. Put all of those ingredients in a blender and give it a little time, and you’ll start noticing drastic improvements in your click through revenue.
If you have the time, patience, and motivation, then selling ads directly to companies that may be interested in your ad space can be very much worth your time and effort. Of course, it always helps to have contacts in the niche that you are selling ads in, so do yourself a favor and network, network, network. Having a sales background helps when it comes time to propose to other companies/sites to buy space on your blog, but if you don’t have a sales background, then find someone in your family or one of your friends that does. Just pay them a small fee to pitch it for you. Of course, the best way to learn how to sell your ad space is to do it yourself, as you will definitely learn a lot along the way. In order to sell advertising space directly, most often you’ll need some impressive stats to go along with it. You can’t just start a blog, and a week later hope to sell ad space for x amount of dollars to a big company. You’ll need to spend several months building up a reader base, traffic, and links from big sites in your niche. Once you are at a level where you can consider yourself a “pro-blogger,” then the companies will come to you to ask about buying advertising space.
Another scenario that can be quite lucrative is one where a company decides to start a blog of their own, which allows them to “keep in touch with the people.” Since blogs are traditionally updated more frequently than actual websites, companies will start blogs to show that they are in touch with the digital world, and will often break important product or service news on the blog before it ever reaches the main website. This can be quite lucrative for the right blogger, because when a company decides to start a blog, they will usually find a blogger who writes in the same niche as the company is in. Many bloggers have been approached by major companies, who offer attractive salaries, benefits, and other bonuses, just to blog! Position yourself as an expert in your niche, and this very well could happen to you someday.

There are lots of article submission websites that could give you the boost that you need for your own websites. These websites are created for the sole purpose of informing people about a specific topic. Even though we don’t know what the true credentials of these writers are, we trust that these articles were well researched and somehow they could give us more street knowledge that we hope for. At the same time, they are also there to give the readers an idea about the writer. It’s some sort of a primer of what will they see in your website.
That’s why when you write an article for these sites, don’t give out everything. You may think this is quite selfish but think of it this way: why would someone go to a site that will only repeat the information? It’s a total waste of time for your end to give a well detailed article in this type of article repositories. When you’re planning to write something, just give the readers a hint of what will be available on your website. For example, instead of giving them all the great sites about a certain topic, why not give them a third of what you have written in your site and tell them to go to your site for complete info? It will even save you time since you don’t have to write a very long article twice.
Another great thing on not giving away everything that you know is you’ll be able to concentrate in one topic only. The topic could be anything that you would like to talk about as long as it’s not too personal. Remember that you’re not writing in a blog, but you’re writing an article that’s supposed to inform your readers regarding a certain point that you support. One hint: talk about something that’s quite the contrary of popular beliefs. It’s just one topic, but it could actually stir a conversation with other members and your readers. Be sure to follow it up in your blog to ensure more visitors to your site.
When you’re writing, don’t write like you’re creating a book report or a dissertation. Too many words in an article are really not appreciated by your reader. Although readers could tell that you’re well versed in something, try to tone it down. Imagine that you’re speaking with your neighbor and explaining to him or her something really complicated but interesting. Remember that the readers are there to look for practical information and not a lesson on how to figure out really complicated concepts.
One of the great additions on some of the known article submission websites is the resource box. More than anything else; be sure to write a little bit something about yourself and the website you’re creating or closely affiliated to. Since you’re writing something that will stir up their interest, your website will provide additional information. In doing so, more visitors will come to your site. All these are happening because of the resource box that complements the information that you have written in your article submission website.

Many new and veteran bloggers dream of paying the bills with their blogs, and it’s not unreachable if you’re willing to put in the blood, sweat, and tears to make it happen. The reality of it is that most bloggers will never pay their bills or buy nice cars with money made from a blog, simply because they lose interest and lack the dedication necessary to make it happen. More often than not, new bloggers are inspired by the big “A-List” blogs that have been on the scene for a while and they think, “wow, blogging is easy money!”, and when they make a total of 87 cents in ad revenue their first month, interest and motivation goes right down the drain. Perhaps more importantly, bloggers who are interested in getting serious about making money need to treat a blog like a business, and a key fundamental into making a business succeed is a plan.
To start cashing in on a blog, one of the main aspects before you even think about it is having a large reader base, and I’m not talking 98 readers, I’m talking thousands. The bigger your stats are (RSS subscribers, traffic, PageRank, etc) the more an advertiser will pay you. The trick is actually getting those visitors and traffic. Building up your base of interested readers is very frustrating and usually takes a great amount of time, but the rewards can be phenomenal. You can be the best writer in the world, and even have the greatest target niche to exploit, but without a solid, long-term plan, failure will always be knocking at your door.
There is a delicate balance to maintain when it comes to updating and marketing your blog. Many new bloggers will concentrate almost fully on writing and content, and totally forget about marketing. On the contrary, a lot of new bloggers are more worried about getting the word out, but they have no real content of value to push. What’s recommended is that you stay somewhere in between these areas – meaning you need content, but you also need to effectively market it as well. Updating your blog often is a great way to keep your blog up high in blog search engines like Technorati, and once you’ve established that you update a lot, readers will likely return more. However, if no one is reading your page, then it really doesn’t matter how often you update! Make sure you spend some quality time each day getting the word out about your blog. Learn who your competitors are, and go comment on their blogs. Of course, you need to keep it clean, but if you make worthwhile interesting comments, you’ll entice readers who are already interested in your niche to come over and check out your blog for similar material. Making contacts, and networking with other bloggers is extremely important as well, because you can draw off of each others failures and successes.
Let us be honest, success with a blog will not come overnight, or even after a few weeks or months. It takes a tremendous amount of steady time and effort to build a popular blog, and usually a bit of luck as well. If you plan on making blogging your sole means of income, don’t quit your day job just yet. Write a business plan that details how you are going to run your blog, and how you plan on making it successful. During the first few months, it will be rough, and most bloggers reach a blogging “plateau” after three or four months. If you can make it past this and continue on steadily, then your chances of success skyrocket. When you get into that sixth or seventh month and you realize you’re actually making money, it can be very exciting, but don’t cash in just yet, you still have a ton of work to do. The more you make, the harder it becomes. Expectations are set higher each month that you better yourself. It’s very common for bloggers who become successful to hire a support team just to keep things running smoothly, and this allows the main author to write new articles instead of keeping up with accounting, advertising, and promotions. It’s very possible to get to this level of blogging fame, but without a plan, you’ll never see it happen.
