Since this is a question about making money, of course we tackle it here

How to make money

This is a broad question, so we will condense everything in one post, which means for deeper explanations about making money, please ask a more specific question!

1. Let money make more money

• buy wisdom and use it to your benefit!
• buy a product and resell it
• buy a few products, recombine them and sell it (buy water, sugar and fruit and sell it as marmalade)
• put your money in a savings account
• put your money in funds
• put your money in the stock market but make sure you know what you are doing, otherwise go for funds
• pay others to do the work for you and sell their product or service

2. Work hard for the money

• get a dayjob
• start blogging and make money online
• combine the above: get a dayjob and start blogging during office hours to make money online

3. Try your luck

• buy a lottery ticket
• look for a dollar bill in your socks (yes, most likely you will be as lucky here as when buying a lottery ticket )

4. Do things that are not allowed

Unfortunately there are a lot of ways to make money illegally. They look attractive but you risk your freedom. Buying a lottery ticket you only risk your money.

Once you have made your money, you need to spend it wisely. The main killer for your personal wealth are credit cards charging you a ridiculous high amount of interest.

Make sure you earn money for yourself and not for the bank!

How to make money online

In short you can go through the list of 4 money makers above and use it to make money online.

We are making money doing most of the work ourselves and sometimes we ask other people to do the work for us: they write a post for us and most likely they will add their link in their post. If you feel your website can use some extra advertisement and buzz, just write a post and leave a comment over at How to start a blog.

Then I make easy money using the following recommended money makers:

All let you add some code on your blog so you will show some kind of advertisement.

Linkworth and Smorty also let you write posts for money.

Do you want more visitors, yet your budget is small:

"After I gave Linky Love a $10.00 tip, I’ve increased traffic coming from this website to mine. It’s working for me & it should work for you too!" Tip her here! Mae, The Postcard Collector

Having seen all these Edison Chen pictures that suck big time, one wonders who really has the honours of removing Chen’s you know what?

I mean: Gillian Chung comes out in public to apologize, where the only thing that comes to the public from Edison Chen are his Edison Chen scandal pictures.

Meanwhile our playboy is been said to have reportedly attempted suicide after the partially nude images of him with several starlets started circulating in the Internet. What didn’t he like? Never saw the pictures before or what???

According to China Press the singer-actor became depressed over the issue and avoided food lately.

Blablabla….

What’s the whole idea of getting infamously famous?

Right: everybody now knows Edison Chen worldwide!

Great free publicity thank to all the naked starlets that didn’t earn any money promoting Edison Chen.

I mean: do you really get upset as a man when you can brag to the whole world how many gorgeous, silly, naive girls you managed to get into your bed?

You say: in HongKong he will be in deep trouble…

Well: Edison Chen is in the United States in his house there, where he fled to after the controversy erupted.

Simple: getting famous out of the expense of others in a country like America where sex scandals open doors to even more TV and film appearances…

Seems his brains aren’t in his pants after all, but his balls are gone out of HongKong…

Edison Chen and Gillian Chung

Edison Chen and Gillian Chung in 2001

Seems Edison Chen and Gillian Chung were together in 2001 when she was about 20… Now I don’t know about you, but I agree that when I was that age, I also was quite naive and silly. Just like Tammy Nyp was, but again she was taped, I wasn’t

And seeing how many young girls are involved in the Edison Chen Scandal, you can only conclude he must be taking real advantage of young, silly, naive girls. How old is his latest girlfriend Vincy Yeung? They started dating in 2004, so deduct 4 years and you know how very young she was when first dating playboy Chen … Rest my case…

Always use your hands

One a funny note, one could say that Gillian did learn something … Just compare the 2 pictures blow below:

Edison Chen Gillian Chung sex scandal:
silly, naive way of holding a mike…

Edison Chen & Gillian Chung scandal:
matured way of holding a mike…
apologizing yesterday for what happened…

Meanwhile no Maggie Q Naked pictures yet, only Maggie
Q wallpapers and Edison Chen has no more balls it seems, where at least Gillian Chung had the courage to appear in public and apologize.

Tomorrow is the start of the Chinese New Year of the rat. This is a very important festival amongst the Chinese and the Vietnamese as well.

If you ever wondered why so many Chinese are stranded in train stations these days in snowy China: it’s because 200 million Chinese are "going home". That is the same number are there are US citizens…

Now we all know John Chow makes money telling other people how to make money online. Although he does a lot of rambling inbetween, the advantage of rambling is: that there is a topic for everybody.

• that explains why you can find "everybody" on his website and
• why Linky Love divided her website in different topics each day

This strategy is only useful if "for some reason" you want lots of visitors.

• I want lots of visitors so I can monetize my website better using passive income from Adsense, Kontera and any other person wanting to advertise on my site.
• John Chow’s strategy is having a big number of RSS readers (which is loved by ReviewMe and anybody else using "email marketing".

So for once I will add some Chinese New Year rambling link from John Chow celebrating Chinese New year in Vancouver, Canada.

If you go there here, you will notice the Chinese New Year celebration pictures will look very much like in the picture below:

Lunar New Year Dragon Dance

And yes: you will see a lot of people wearing red like Mischa Barton:

you don’t need to be red from top to toe during Chinese New Year!

Mischa Barton in red
This is why I don’t wear too much red at Chinese New Year:
I don’t want to look like a ripe tomato…

Linky Love’s never outspoken goal was to beat Mr John Chow in his own bragging game: ranking high in the search engine for the keyword phrase "Make Money Online".

As by today, me and John Chow rank on the same Google page, be it

Linky Love ranks 4 places higher than John Chow

Make Money Online :
Linky Love ranks 4 places higher than John Chow
(click picture to enlarge)

It’s earnings that counts

After 9 months of Linky Love, we still don’t rank number 1 for Make Money Online, for the same reason John Chow isn’t ranking number one either: just because Google doesn’t like what we are doing.

Anyway, after 9 months of trying and having been on the first SERP when John Chow was ranking number 1, I quit the game that nobody knew about. If you know Sally Chow, you know that there are much more important things in life than beating people with similar names…

John Chow

Nevertheless I love John Chow (not like his wife loves him of course…) as I equally love the evil John Chow .

His blog most likely makes about 100 times more money than mine and his Review Me price is 7.5 times more than mine.

John ChoW Wednesday

Ever wondered why I never gave a name to Wednesday where the rest of the days are covered like so:

Weekly Features:

• Make Money Monday,
• Pets Tuesday,
• ??? Wednesday,
• Gossip Thursday,
• Blog Better SEO Friday and
• Blog of the Weekend.

Because I was waiting to beat John Chow, and take it from there. Yet I hate waiting

So from now on we will make Wednesday a John ChoW Wednesday and summarize a bit what he has been saying about SEO, Internet marketing or Making money online without the miscellaneous ramblings about sweet Sally and the sort…

Unfortunately, Heath Ledger is really death after suffocating in his own vomit after taking drugs… No more making money for him…

You have a brilliant career, yet you get on drugs and get an overdose? What’s the point in working hard for the money when money is not buying what you want?

Yes, you could go in rehab like Amy Winehouse, but then that means you are already in a stage you know what is important for you: your life and your health!

So whatever you do in your life: people first, then make money online or offline…

Since last month we only earned about 300$, (Month 9: $ 288.56) it’s getting time to brush things up a bit.

Evaluation and TODO list needed:

CASESTUDY: Evaluation end February…

How do we make money on the Internet

• Contextual Advertisements
• Writing reviews for money
• What did we forget?
• sponsorship
• text link ads
• affiliate marketing
• …

How to improve contextual advertisement earnings?

1. make sure that a user clicks on an advertising link, not any link
   TODO: get rid of all these links on the frontpage that are not earning any money
2. make sure that your contextual ads are having a nice payout
   TODO: heoretically use Google Adwords and see which ads pay well, then attract those ads on your website.
   Practically: don’t ramble around like I do about Charlène Vanneste if you write a blog about how to make money online. A French subject like Charlène Vanneste should go on my French blog...
   If you ramble about anything and everything, you could end up with a high visitors count, yet a very low payment of the advertising you are showing.
   Stick to 1 topic where the ads are well paid and you have lot’s of things to say about.
3. attract more visitors
   TODO: source new visitors with new SEO ideas, marketing ideas, communities… don’t just do what you are doing now
   (quite vague, best thing is to go and read other blogs and get new, fresh ideas! : step out of your comfortzone!)

How to improve writing reviews for money?

You need to improve your blog according to the guidelines given by any of the paid to blog services.

• Personally I am very disappointed with PayPerPost having a RealRank 1 didn’t give me any big opportunity.
• Blogsvertise and Smorty still rely on PageRank, which for a blog with a high amount of visitors like mine, I love ReviewMe and SponsoredReviews.

Yet, last month there was no money coming in from any of these blogging for money services, so :

TODO: Something needs to be changed, yet I don’t know what, all input is welcome!

How to improve What we forgot?

Again: go to other sites and see what they are doing when it comes to making money online.

1. Sponsorship

By now you must be familiar with the 125×125 image sponsorships like the one on the right : where to find the best smoothies: click on the smoothie image!

TODO: find out:

• where to find these sponsors
• what kind of website do they advertise on

2. Text Link Ads

We do have Google approved Text Link Ads that doesn’t bring anybodies PageRank down. To make more money with it:

TODO:

• advertise on my site that this is a good way for you to advertise your site!
• increase the price

Get your link online on the spot!

Tip $10 here and place your link instantly in our TOPSPOTS!

Hurry! ONLY 2 links of $ 10 left,
once taken,
prices will go up!

Looking for other alternatives like the good old Text link Ads and Linkworth is another possibility, yet it is said that Text Link Ads will kill your PageRank (and the lower your PageRank, the lesser people will want to use your site to put Text Link Ads… it’s a self killing prophecy…)

3. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing works fine on my French Swear Words blog, selling the best online French course out there!

At Linky Love affiliate marketing is not taking off yet, so:

TODO:

• get rid of affiliates that don’t work on your site
• try new affiliates until it works
• read about how to make money online using affiliate marketing

4. …… and we forgot…

• How to let advertisers know why they need your site to advertise on!
• how to attract visitors with Adwords to make money on the Internet
• sell bannerspace

• write and sell an ebook
• sell your own stuff
• sell stuff (T-shirts)
• ebay and auctionads
• get a contest going to attract prizes (money) and new visitors
• … think until you get a jolly brilliant idea …
• read and ask input from others!

Please leave a comment with your inputs what else we can do to make money online?

What’s in it for you? Link Love from me of course!

David Roy Pescatore biography

David Roy Pescatore used to be a not too famous yet international haircut model with haircuts quite short, exotic and punk.

Ok, that was way back in the 1980s… when new wave and German singers Amanda Lear and incredibly talented punk singer Nina Hagen were top of the crop.

Nina Hagen wearing post Harajuku Clothes:
now successfully branded by Gwen Stefani

David Roy Pescatore meets Madonna

David Roy Pescatore becomes more famous by jumping on the bandwagon of 1992 Madonna’s Sex book which accompanied her Erotica album.

DR must have been upset not to have been featured amongst some of the unknown faces in Madonna’s book…

In reality, David Roy Pescatore was against sexual imagery in marketing: no muscular men, no boobs, no gender…

Unfortunately, being glamorous yet sex-less (gender neutral) doesn’t sell well, and David Roy Pescatore digged his own grave in the modeling industry.

David Roy Pescatore meets Canada

Rumors said that David Roy Pescatore got killed by rabies in Canada and David couldn’t care less to set the record straight (straight is not gender-neutral anyways).

Being out of a job, David Roy Pescatore picked up his live by becoming a pharmaceutical salesman. He purchased a home in the Philadelphia suburb of Moorestown, NJ and changed his name. All was nice and quite, just like he wanted it until…

David Roy Pescatore meets John Edwards

Pescatore is Italian for fisherman, and David Roy’s latest catch brought him in the news again:

David Roy Pescatore catches John Edwards and the world’s attention

A few days ago, Pescatore calls a radio station to give his opinions in the ongoing political radio debate about the upcoming presidential elections.

According to David Roy Pescatore: John Edwards is "the only guy out there who’s really willing to put up a fight" against "the elites who do their best to maintain a permanent underclass". During the course of the discussion, however, he left enough clues to spark interest.

An idea that he voiced already many decades ago. On top of that he portrayed himself like:

• David Roy
• having had a career in the modeling industry,
• having spent time north of the border and
• revealing to be from Moorestown.

Shows that the radio show has lots of listeners: some of them assembled the puzzle that David Roy was no less than David Roy Pescatore.

Blog of the day: Malaysia Newspaper

Malaysia Newspaper is a blog from a European expatriate living in Malaysia.

Expat stereotypes get flushed

Some have the believe that westerners come to Asia for the sex of it, but we are quite amazed that the expatriate points out to us how Malaysian ministers are promoting sex in their country…: Why Malaysia has better sex than Thailand

Others have the stereotype that the expatriate with a thick beer belly just comes here to marry a cute looking Malaysian girl, yet again this expatriate points out how in Malaysia elderly men marry girls that could be their daughter, even when the girl is the most famous Malaysian Singer: Siti Nurhaliza:

Siti Nurhaliza Datuk K :
he divorces to marry a girl that could be dating his sons…

News analysis

Malaysian elections gives you an insight in Malaysian democracy compared with emerging democracies in Europe. Or: how one sausage can get you one vote, and better than that: you don’t need to bribe death voters with sausages…

All in all a very small blog from a static website called Malaysia My Second Home : the Malaysian plan to attract foreign retirees to live there retirement days in hot and sunny Malaysia.

Quite interesting to see that there is even a beautiful tropical dreamhouse for sale!

Malaysian high end property in a secure gated community for sale!
