Educate your children to generate wealth

Posted by youlki22 on April 19, 2008

It might be surprising for some people that internet has become a source of income for young children also. Earning online needs some skills, only you require proper channel or resouces to teach your child about business.

According to a story published at msn, money- written by Abby Ellin:
Story is: “3 kid CEOs making big bucks!”

Leanna Archer, an honor student in Islip, N.Y., was 8 when she first tried to make a batch of homemade, natural hair products just like her mom’s. Soon she began selling them in the neighborhood and then to stores.

Today the 12-year-old Leanna is the owner and CEO of Leanna’s Inc., which sells hair-oil treatments, shampoos, conditioners and deep conditioners. Her products are sold online and in stores across the country, and she expects 2008 revenues to reach $150,000 — up from $45,000 in 2007.

Leanna works seven days a week to keep her business going. On weekends, she makes and packages the products at home with her parents’ help. During the week — after completing her homework — she packs boxes for the orders she receives daily on her site

An increasing number of kids are starting their first businesses while they’re still doing homework.

“Generation Y entrepreneurs enjoy taking risks,” says Sean C. Rush, president and chief executive of Junior Achievement, an organization dedicated to inspiring young people to become successful in business. “Younger would-be entrepreneurs, even as young as 8 years old, indicate an interest in starting their own businesses, in order to use their skills and abilities, to be their own boss and to build something for the future.”

When I first visited the site “Angellica 2017.com”, I thought it might be one of the sites which provide some information on online money making and then show you some affiliate links or sell any other links.

“Rate it all”- An opinion community!

Posted by youlki22 on March 10, 2008

RateItAll-The Opinion Network is an online community which deals in consumer reviews on any topic. It is a revenue sharing site where you can make money as well.

RateItAll relaunched in 2006 to enable the free and unfettered exchange of ideas and opinions.
You can use this Web site to connect with people who share similar interests, find review content for your blog or MySpace page, and find, share, or solicit opinions on virtually anything - for example, consumer products, celebrities, politics, travel destinations, sports, local businesses, and much more.

What you can do here (in their own words):
Build your own rating lists. Share movie, product, and business reviews among your friends. And make a little money for your efforts!”

Making Money on RateItAll
When you write a review, make a list, and add ratings that get noticed and make money you get a piece of the action

1) Publish a Weblist:

Publishing a Weblist entitles you to a 50% share of the Google AdSense advertising that occurs on pages that you create within your Weblist, and on your main Weblist page.

Those RateItAll members who already have published Weblists will be eligible to immediately begin earning money on those lists.

(Note: You are not eligible to earn Google AdSense advertising when someone else submits a new listing to your Weblist)

2) Add a New Listing

On every ratings list on RateItAll, you will find a link that says “Add a New Item to this Topic.”

Adding a new listing to any existing RateItAll ratings list (RateItAll, Weblist, Local) entitles you to a 50% share of the Google AdSense advertising that occurs on that page.

New listings must be approved by RateItAll staff or Weblist publishers to qualify, and must include a complete item description.

3) Create a Profile with a Picture

Creating a user profile that includes a picture entitles you to a 100% share of the Google AdSense advertising that occurs on your user profile page.

4) Refer Friends

When you refer friends to join RateItAll using the Refer A Friend tool on your user profile page, you are entitled to a 10% share of the Google AdSense advertising that occurs on all of the qualifying pages that your friend contributes.

For example, when a friend that you referred publishes a Weblist, your friend would earn 50% of the Google AdSense revenue associated with those pages, you would earn 10% of the Google AdSense revenue associated with those pages, and RateItAll would earn the remaining 40%.

How to Get Started

There are two ways to sign up for a Google AdSense account and join the RateItAll Economy program:

1) When you’re registering for RateItAll, check the box that says “Sign Up for Google AdSense.”

OR, if you already have a RateItAll account

2) Go to your profile page and click on the link that says “Edit/Delete My Account.” Then, click the box that says “Sign Up for Google AdSense.”

It may take a couple of days for your AdSense account to be approved. Once you are approved, you’ll be able to check your stats / earnings from your RateItAll profile page.

A new get paid to write opportunity

Posted by youlki22 on January 14, 2008

This is another online money making offer for bloggers. “Buy Blog Reviews.com”  is in online advertising business since 2000. But as they believe in quality of service, they might be among top advertising companies soon.

To my experiance these kind of sites are playing a good role of Get Paid Blogging
by providing opportunities to the bloggers. Mostly they pay the bloggers on time and bloggers are also satisfied that they get some money for some of their hard work.

Advertisers are preferring Blog Advertising method because they not only get their site or product reviews, but it is a cheap way of getting quality traffic and search engine ranking.
Rules: Get your blog registered FREE and wait until 48 hours. After approval you would get the approval e-mail at your inbox.

Payment: Many get paid to review sites pay after one month, but BuyBlogReviews is paying you every 15 days.
They also use PayPal payment system. They are currently charging 30% from each review. So bloggers get 70%which is the highest pay as compare to other get paid to write sites. They are also paying a good percentage for their affiliates, which is 15%.

Making money writing reviews with “Blogger Wave”

Posted by youlki22 on December 20, 2007

Most of the bloggers are making money from their blogs, either from google adsense or placing ad links at their blogs.
A good opportunity of earning money online may be writing reviews at your blogs. I consider it a legitimate way of earning because there are a lot of “get paid to review” site, which are contacted with advertisers and at the same time they register bloggers who want to make money from their blogs. bloggerwave
is one of the “get paid to write” sites, and pays at the end of every month for their postings.
Their lowest offer for writing review is $1, but I could see a list of top 10 bloggers (who wrote reviews) and the highest earning was $1033, while lowest was $330.
For more information, go to their FAQ section.

Make money by writing reviews at your blog

Posted by youlki22 on July 22, 2007

Making money online with your blog is very easy way to increase your earnings. As time passes more and more sites are coming with lot of offers for bloggers, but most of the get paid review sites play a role of medium among blogger and advertisers. And for this kind of service they keep some percentage of earnings with them. But still these services are doing well.

Most of these get paid review sites accept you blog, if your blog meets these requirements.

* It should be in English
* It should be 2 or 3 months old.
* Length of the review in most cases is 150-300words per review.
* You are required to include the link of advertiser at your post, as provided by the site. May be it can be a post link or any part of the site.
* Your blog is approved after assigning the price to your blog, based on the page rank, and traffic. Good page rank blogs get more money for postings.
* Payment option in most cases is paypal. But you should check the rules and FAQs at the site for it. Some review sites pay within a week and some pay after one month.
* You can earn good amount of money by writing reviews at your blogs. As I have estimated that earning from $5 to $300 monthly is an easy task, for a blogger, having a blog with moderate page rank.
1-Smorty
To approve your blog:
–Your blog must be older than 3 months, and indexed by Google and Yahoo.
– It should be active and have a history of average 2 new posts per week.
I think most of bloggers can fulfill this requirement. So join there and wait for about 72 hours to get approved. After approval, most of the time you get an e-mail alert for the offers from advertisers, but better to check the site often, as many times, without any e-mail alert, you would be able to get offers, at your smorty dashboard. You are given 72 hours to post review, if you accept an offer, and if you reject it, or don’t respond, it is alos mentioned in your account.
Minimum payment offer for every post is US$6, or less.
Depending on the page rank of the blog along with a high Smorty smart score can decide to bring you higher paying ad campaigns, upto $100 per post. In May 2007, I could earn around $90 from few of my posts, because I could get 2 offers, (for each offer I was paid $22-$24)

Payment:
At smorty you are paid weekly by paypal. As compared to all get paid review sites, I think Smorty pays fastest and on time.
Process for bloggers at Smorty
2-Sponsored Reviews
You don’t get offers via e-mail. After submitting your blog. Your blog is given a price, based upon your blog rank and traffic count. After approval you are supposed to click “find advertisers” at the site. There are a lot of advertisers there with some price, and you are free to choose the offers. You have to place you bid in the box provided equal or less to the price of your blog.
You are directly contacted when advertiser accepts your offer.
Payment: You are paid within 14 days via paypal.
Join: sponsored reviews
3- ReviewMe:
Like other review sites, your blog is accepted, and given a price but there is an option at site, where you can set or edit that price for your blog.
You are directly contacted by the adverstisers, but it is advisable to check the site often.
Payment: On the 1st of each month. If your blog price is set at $20, you would be paid $20 for your review.
4-Loud Launch:
It would take 1 week or less to approve a blog. Bloggers select the campaign at the site. Like as other review sites, you are given offers according to the price set by the site. My one of the blog having page rank 4 was offered $7.50 per offer. And second blog with page rank 5 was provided with the offers worth $15 each.
Payment:

5- Indiana web site design:

6- Monetyz:
This site is in its early beta stage, but you can sign up there. As there is no commission taken from the bloggers, or advertisers. There is another offer for bloggers, where you can negotiate your own price.
 Link: Monetyz
7- Blog to Profit:
After approval of your blog, you would start reveiving offers. First time you would be provided some links (may be 5) as a trial. I was offered $5 per post. But there is no choice to make, as you have to write for every subject they provide. I receive offers with the topics surgery and web, but at that time my former blog was only for blogging, so I have to select only one offer.
If you don’t have any restriction, then this site is a good place. As I was paid for a single post, where I was supposed to post for 5 links. And payment was within few days.
Administration is very helpful.
Join: blog to profit
8- Payu2blog:
New site with many opportunities. But I could not accept any offer, as I was bound to write only for blogging topics, and I was offered other topics.
Per topic posting price was $5 for me. You get paid $5.00 per completed assignment. Completing assignments are easy but they have to meet requirements before receiving payment.
Payment:
Every 2 weeks via PayPal.

Dewitts Media:

As in their words,
“Blog Publishers (How its works) - Blog publishers are based on a bidding system, we have wrote a unique database that will uniquely identify who?s turn it is. We also go by response ratings too, generally after a certain time frame we will update the response ratings accordingly to who?s responding to jobs and who is not responding. We will also eliminate any publishers that keep missing jobs, or if we don’t get any replies from them after so many jobs.

The publisher does have the choice to pass the job up, or keep it. When we go through our database to assign links we mainly look at who has a better response rating, and how many jobs they have had, but big majority of it is rotated very well. We can tell who has had the most jobs, and who has not had any jobs. Therefore we can keep the rotation up and sending jobs out more accurately to everyone.”
Payment: They pay $10 for every review.
