How are any of these to you?

A few took up the offer (thanks! you know who you are). But until now the referral had not appear on my account. I want to post this update so that no one thinks that I’m cheating them.

Support email was sent from their contact page and so far nothing was heard from them for weeks now.

If you know any contacts in TLA that could help clarify, please let me know.

If you have multiple sites and have use a number of revenue sources, do you know exactly which sites are doing well and what programs are contributing to your revenue?

I was trying to answer those same questions as well and did a Site Revenue Performance spreadsheet.

It is published and shared on Google Spreadsheets (I’m starting to discover the usfulness of online office applications). Just go to the spreadsheet, click on “Edit this page” to edit it and save it to your account. (You need a Google account.)

Let me know if you find it useful and how it can be improved.

To help solve that I’m starting a project that everyone can contribute - ProNetizen.

Based on the Wikipedia concept, the objective of this project to collect together information about a particular online Marketer, an online Product, an online Service and Websites.

Through these information, it is hoped that newcomers to online marketing will be better equiped to make a better, well informed decision.

Do you have any information to share? Drop by and share your knowledge.

You wanted to start making money online, earn some side revenue online. What do you do?

You did some re-search and found a few programs (often promoted by some self-proclaimed famous marketer). You decided to hold on buying and so signed up for their free information.

Very soon you had signed up for a handful newsletter and you started to receive recommendation almost daily. You sign up for more programs, affiliates, income sources and received more recommendation newsletters.

Now you have an inbox choked full of newsletters you have no time to read.

Sounded familiar?

You are not alone. I had just tagged and archived hundreds of such email and this got me thinking. I doubt I will ever read me, but hey, GMail says archive, don’t delete.

The real challenge of earning revenue online is not that there are no opportunities. It is too many opportunities!

This was much faster than I had expected but the real joy was that it was on FreeBizWare. I’d alway maintained that FreeBizWare is one of the better blog that I had done. Text Link Ads however does not seem to think so and rejected the site a few times.

One thing about Performancing that I do not understand is how they set their auto pricing. Every once in a while I recieve emails informing me that my site has been priced. What was more mysterious was that I sold this first ads for $1 (!) and almost immediate after I approved it, most of my sites were increased to $25.

Well, I’m pretty excited and I hope my $1 advertiser get some business from the ads.

This was pretty old news (posted Oct 2005, a year ago) and it is a surprise that I had not ran across it all these while.

How much truth this piece of information still holds? Maybe my test and some research will show some results.

On the first look, the payout also look much more generous than others such as Text Link Ads or LinkWorth.

• Publisher take 70% of advertising revenue your blog generates.
• Performancing takes 30%
• Publisher take 5% of income generated by any publisher or advertiser referred

On the other hand, the Performancing Publisher program is not a text link program but advertising, so it should be comparable with Text Link Ads terms.

The Performancing Publisher is also be comparable with Adsense since it is not contextual. Advertiser select blogs from the Partner network to advertise on them.

The Partner payouts for referrals is an attractive feature because it generates residual income over time. Residual income really helps when trying to create income over time by decoupling the revenue stream from your action.

Review of week 37 - 38 (11 Sep - 24 Sep)

In the face of success one can get overjoyed and did nothing, much to the detriment of the bigger success.

This was exactly what’s happening to me.

I’ thrilled to announce another month of beating target. Yet at the same time, this is a month that I had done the least. Personal work not withstanding, I had actually slacked in terms of updating my blogs, such as this.

Over the last 2 months I had stopped launching new sites as initally planned. (The original plan was to launch a new site every 2 weeks.)

Plans to build upon the existing sites were developed but never executed.

Just to recap, my goal was to achieve $1000 online revenue by end of 2006. This months revenue was $375. Based on extrapolation, the target ahead of me are

• Oct: $520
• Nov: $721
• Dec: $1000

Interestingly I found this new marketing spin call “The Death of Adsense“

Normally I get bombarded with so many “marketing guru” email daily that I just ignore the pitch. But something about it caught my attention.

First was the graphic, impactful, shocking, got my attention.

Then it was the free report. Yeah I got lots of free reports saved on my harddisk. Wouldn’t mind adding another to the collection. Why not?

Then I found that I was duped! The guy before got paid $0.50 just for me to download it. (That’s Fifty, five-o, 1/2 a dollar, NOT a fraction of a cent!)

What! The guy behind this spin is on drug or he is crazy or both! A viral marketing like this would create thousands if not tens of thousand of download. And he is paying for each download!

Well, what you waiting for? Click here to bust this guy and earn me 50 cents.
