Make Money Online By Reading and Rating Articles

I just recently stumbled upon an opportunity that allows me to make money online while I learn by reading articles and rating them on topics that I personally choose.

Clixsense and The Money Making Opportunity
Since I joined clixsense, I have been wondering if the $10 annual fee was worth it. I thought I would be able to get back the investment within a weeks time. I discovered that the flood of ads was only at the beginning, now they are coming just in trickles- 1-5 ads a day. I began wondering if it's still worth my time. But still I persisted.

Today I realized that there is more to clixsense than just clicking ads and making a few cents a day. It was through an ad in clixsense that I discovered the money making opportunity I am talking about here; and it's free.

Readbud
In one of the ads in clixsense, I came upon readbud.

If you like reading, or one who is often hungry for knowledge and information especially practical information, I highly recommend Readbud. You will not only enjoy reading and learning, but also get paid by doing so. You, of course, can choose the topics to read about. Wouldn't that be great?

Readbud pays better, too. I just read 3 short articles awhile ago and have earned $0.19 cents. Not bad really. It's actually great for me because I also learned something new from those articles. Besides I will not be talking about readbud here if I thought otherwise.

Readbud allows you to redeem your earnings once you have reach its minimum threshold. You can opt to be paid via paypal. (See my previous article on how to get a paypal account.)



To learn more about readbud and what it offers, just click here. Don't forget to share with me your experience with readbud here in the "comments" link below.

The Importance of PAYPAL

Anybody who wants to do business using the internet must have a Paypal account.

Why? Because paypal is one of the most secure way of paying and receiving payment online. It makes your online business transaction convenient for you.

If you intend to do both buying and selling or receiving payments over the internet I suggest you create a business account with paypal. It's free. All you need is a valid email account and a credit card that you will need to enroll yourself for a business account. Just follow the instructions as prompted to create your free account.

AFFILIATE MARKETING AND SOME OTHER TIPS ON MAKING MONEY ONLINE

Over the last 6 months I have been trying to figure out how to make money online. These are the things that I have learned...

There is no quick rich scheme to making money online. If you want to make real money online, you have to work on it, give your time, effort and some money (for tools and resources). Sure there are free ways to earn, but even then, you won't earn enough to satisfy you and you'll want more. Thus, there is a need to somehow spend. Of course there are ways to spend wisely and therefore keep it to the minimum.

To succeed online, you have to learn as much as possible about internet marketing and all the related stuff. Your time is definitely a great investment in this endeavor. You'll have to read. learn from others who have done the business ahead of you especially those who are considered leaders in the industry.

There are a lot of scams in the internet. There are many out there who are just after your money and would not care if the products or services they are offering you will actually help you make money online or not. So if you are interested on something- product and services alike, make sure to google it for reviews and what other users may have to say about the product or service. Don't just buy immediately. Be prudent to check out what others have to say about the product or service. Look for honest to goodness reviews.

The best way to earn online and make real money fast is to sell something. Sell a product, service or even just an idea.

The internet is a vast virtual market. It covers the whole wide world! Just imagine even if you're able to capture even just 1% of that whole market.

But what can you sell now?

If you already have an existing brick and mortar business, you can start from that. Check eBay and see what people are buying and also selling there, and you'll have an idea what to may sell.

But what about if you really don't have anything to sell. That's not a problem. This is where affiliate marketing comes in.

What is AFFILIATE MARKETING?

Affiliate marketing is when you sell somebody else's product or services online and you get commission whenever you make a sale. This route to making money online is great for beginners who usually do not yet have their own products.

As an affiliate, you don't need to create a product or service. You don't need to set up a website or make a salespage. Not yet for now.

As an affiliate, all you have to do is drive traffic to the website of the product or service you are selling. When the sale is made, you get commission.

You can for example affiliate yourself with clickbank. Clickbank offers a wide array of digital products from different sellers which you can sell and earn commission from. Clickbank affiliation is free.

Or you might want to be an associate (it still means affiliate) of amazon.com. Amazon sells not only digital products but also a lot lot more.



Another great affiliate program I've found is Low Stress Income. Like clickbank it is also free. But if you wish to fast track your learning you can download the LSI guide for a minimal fee.

Those are just among the sample affiliate programs that you can join.
=========
Tip:
When you land in a webpage, and you like their product/service and want to be an affiliate, just check on the small prints usually found at the bottom of the page. Look for the keyword affiliate and click on it. If they have an affiliate program it will open to a new window where you can find information on how to be their affiliate. Just follow the instructions and make sure you read the agreement.
=========
Once you have chosen whom to affiliate with, it's time for you to drive traffic to their websites using the respective unique links they have given you. Your unique links will ensure that every lead that ended in sale will be credited to you.

So go try it now!

AN HONEST REVIEW OF GDI and/or WS DOMAINS

In my quest to make money online I dared to make some investments here and there just to learn more on the different systems available online.

My general practice is to go for those make money online systems that are free or will only entail me a minimal investment of money for me to start earning something online.

Thus, when I stumbled on the ads for GDI or Global Domains International Inc. which distributes the .ws domains worldwide and they were offering a 7 day Free trial, I decided to give it a try. Besides there was an assurance from the Team from whom the ad I came upon that they will give me the step by step instruction on how to make the most of the system so i can start earning residual income.

GDI offers .ws domain names and web hosting. To sign up with GDI means that I maintain a website and/or engage their webhosting for a monthly fee of US $10. In order for me to make money online and better yet earn a residual income from GDI it is preferred that I use my ws website to promote the GDI business and promote it so that I will earn a commission for every successful referral that I make.

Since GDI espouses multi-level marketing strategy, I as a customer may also receive commission from the referral of those whom I referred and those they will subsequently refer themselves into the business. Moreover, GDI also gives bonuses to those who are able to refer 10 or more in a week's time.

As I mentioned earlier, I took the 7 day free trial and immediately went to implement the step by step guide given to me by my upline.

I paid some campaign ads with Yahoo and did some ads using some free marketing network. I was able to get 2 sign ups within 6 days.

But it was not the result I expected.

On the 6th day of my trial, I decided to end my account with GDI. My foremost reason being- I do not have the financial capability to sustain the monthly fee and the advertising expenses until I get the business to make money enough for it to pay for itself. I estimated it will probably take me around 3-6 months to achieve this.

Thus, I tried to cancel my account online. But unfortunately I discovered through the instructions given on the GDI Homepage website that cancellation should only be done over the phone for security reason.

I immediately called GDI long distance but nobody picked up the phone. Consequently, I wrote an email through the support team regarding my cancellation request.

The GDI support promptly responded and gave me the option to call them again or be called at my convenient time. Thus, I gave them my contact numbers and my preferred time.

I would say, GDI is really professional about their business because they did call me to verify the intent of my email.

Given the chance to do the GDI business when I am more financially capable, I think I'll do it again. It's just unfortunate that my current earning currency is not in US dollars.

Yeah, maybe next time.

Is it for you? If you can spend $10 and a bit more for marketing every month for 3-6 months, why not give it a try. But I don't have any guarantees that you'll earn. It depends on how much you are able to convince others to also sign up and join you in this make money online scheme.
