Earn Money From Monetizing Your Affiliate Links

June 28th, 2007 at

Update: For those interested in this service view the comments for important news on this system

Everyone knows Affiliate links can earn you big money but have you ever thought about adding an additional stream of income to your weblinks. Cashinx is a new service i came across today and although the website is badly designed and the project still in it’s infancy the potential of a service like this is great.

Earn money from uploading

Cashinx offers a whole new way of monetizing blogs and websites, with adverts that can be placed upon any link. The Cashinx service allows two options to display the ads, Static (placing a header advert above your website) and Interstitial (displaying a 10second advert before forwarding to the content) allowing you to maximize your income from your websites.

Publishers payment is through paypal i presume, although there was no direct documentation during the signup process the site requests your paypal email address. The website lacks alot of information and could do with a new web2.0 makeover before they introduce a marketing campaign.

What Cashinx Offers;

  • An additional stream of revenue for any type of outbound links from your website
  • Payout through paypal to publishers
  • Link Approval system to stop system abuse (adult links / illegal content)
  • Two ad options - Static and Interstitial
  • Basic tracking system
  • Up to 70% payout for publishers

While creating a similar service yourself and keeping 100% of the earnings is possible, Cashinx offers those who don’t have the experience to do it themselves an automated process for implementing another stream of income for your website. Please keep in mind that the Cashinx service is in it’s infancy and while i’ve signed up i cannot vouch for the stability of the service.

Suggested Improvements For Cashinx

  • Web 2.0 look with a new signup process
  • Ad system to show only relevant ads maybe by keywords when creating links
  • Introducing an ‘advertisers’ section to display banners / text links

Increase RSS Feedburner Subscriptions Using Firefox Live BookMarking

June 27th, 2007 at

Tip: Improve RSS Feedburner Subscriptions

With Blog Me Famous only in it’s infancy, like any other blogger i check my stats daily and more often than not several times within the day. What i noticed was that i was getting alot of clicks and pageviews on my feedburner subscription page (My blog feeds) but a certain number of them where viewing but not subscribing in a reader.

What if those users did not use a rss feed reader?

Within the first couple of days after Blog Me Famous’s launch i setup my blog RSS feeds to go through feedburner so i could track every person that subscribed not only in a reader but also via FireFox’s Live Bookmarking feature. However checking my stats i noticed that a very small number had subscribed using the Bookmarking feature that was until i introduced a new button, simple but proving extremely effective.

Taking a look at my feedburner page you can see;

feedburner

Here a user is presented by a feeder landing page with various RSS feed readers. To use the Firefox Bookmarking Service a user has to choose ‘View Feed XML’ and then click subscribe, coming to this page as a new webuser or not knowing how to subscribe via Firefox you would immediately close the page.

To combat this, on the right side of my blog i produced a text line named, ‘Subscribe in firefox bookmarks

Since introducing this direct text link to my XML feed i’ve increased my subscription numbers through Firefox Live Bookmarking. I’m not going to reveal numbers but visitors numbers through firefox are improving everyday.  So why not try it out and report back the results.

Social Networking In Your Blog Niche

June 23rd, 2007 at

Social Networking - The importance of linklove for the growth of new blogs

A couple of days ago i received an email asking if there was a particular reason why i was linking to popular blogs and blog posts within my chosen niche and what benefits it has provided, if you didn’t notice this then you can take a look at my Introduction to Blog Me Famous and My template earnings for May here, you will see various links going offsite to other blogs.

What are we talking about?

Social Networking, a valuable marketing and promotions technique that every blogger or website owner can implement in a bid to increase the awareness of a blog within your chosen niche. The technique of ‘Social Networking’ can result in improved RSS subscriber numbers, increased reach for your blog and perhaps most importantly, forming relationships with established bloggers in your niche.

The techniques i implemented on Blog Me Famous?

  • Linking to popular blogs and blog posts across my niche

As mentioned above, i linked to various blogs across the blogosphere in a prominent position on the blog post, usually coming in as an introduction to an article or making up the main content of a post, for instance ‘About Me, The Blogs That I Favor’

The benefits of this?

Creating trackbacks on articles can provide a great means of traffic not to mention getting the attention of blog owners. Increasing awareness of your blog is something that needs continuos promotion and gaining the attention of blog owners in your niche can lead to linkbacks, referral’s and possibly being featured in their weekly link roundups.

The Blog Me Famous results…

The past week i have received comments from Kevin Muldoon , Anthony Feint and Matthew Henrickson along with visits from other established blog owners in my niche. In addition to comments, i received a noteworthy link from lorelle’s weekly digest section for my post on guest blogging earlier in the week.
Although the techniques i have used are fairly simple they have provided Blog Me Famous with the awareness that a new blog requires to survive. It’s something that takes little time to introduce to your posts and when starting out blogging it leaves the reader with a good impression seeing comments or trackbacks from popular blogs.

When starting a blog consider using the various techniques mentioned above to increase your traffic and reach as it will provide you with more subscribers, readers and links. if you liked this post why not subscribe to my rss feeds.
