This is my first ever income report, which I plan to continue for the months ahead.

I just want to show you guys what all I’m doing to make money and where my money is coming from.

I believe in having multiple streams of income, so I have quite a few sources that my money comes from each month.

These income reports will only consist of money I earn through my ReplaceYourSalary website, which includes this blog.

September Income Report: 2009

• PayDotCom – $28.17
• Host4Profit – $10.00
• HostGator – $50.00 – Thanks to JP at blogmatters.net.

• SFI – $28.81
• Clickbank – $6.15

Total income is $242.31.

So there you have it. That’s how much I earned for last month. Let’s see how I do this month. So far, things are looking pretty good.

This income report doesn’t include earnings made from my re-writing, proofreading and occasional article writing freelance work.

How much money did you make from your website or blog? Share your results below…

NameCheap.com has become quite popular among internet marketers and online business owners. Their name alone is a good indication of why this is.

NameCheap offers cheap domain name registration. Nowadays it’s not uncommon to have more than one domain or website for your business or just personal interests. Having a place to manage and keep track of all of those domains in one place is absolutely critical.

With close to 50,000 new domains registered every single day (http://www.domaintools.com/internet-statistics/), there’s a lot of money to be made. Joining an affiliate program for a well established domain registration company is a good idea.

I personally can’t think of a better company than NameCheap.com. Ever since I had my domains transferred to them I’ve been more than pleased. Read my post on HostGator web hosting to read about why I use NameCheap and why you should too.

NameCheap has just started an affiliate program that allows you to earn 15% on new purchases that you refer. I’m very excited that they’re offering such a program, and I imagine this will boost their presence on the web even more.

Here’s what NameCheap can do for you:

• Free URL Forwarding – Direct & Cloaked With No Ads
• Free Email Forwarding (No Ads) – you@yourdomain.com -> ISP
• Free Parking Page Included – Your Domain will not go unresolved
• Free Transfer of Ownership
• Free Dynamic DNS With Client
• Free Security Features – Registrar Lock etc…
• Full Control of Your Domain
• Advanced Control Panel – One of the best in the industry
• Custom DNS Settings – CNAME, A, MX, MXE Supported
• Custom Nameserver Registration
• Friendly Customer Support
• Optional Whois Protection – Using WhoisGuard Product
• Geotrust RapidSSL certificates for as low as $9.95 per year

If you’re not yet using NameCheap to take control of your domains, I highly recommend you do. Just go to NameCheap.com and get signed up. If you currently own a domain, or multiple domains, you can easily transfer them. They even offer coupon codes, so you can transfer or buy at a cheaper price.

I would also advise signing up for their affiliate program to start earning your share of new domain registrations that take place every day. It’s free to sign up and only takes a minute.

I would recommend that if you don’t use NameCheap to mange your domains, that you first transfer your domains over to them before signing up for their affiliate program. This way you can give a personal touch with your marketing efforts and have a better understanding of what they do and how they can help others.

People are more willing to sign up for something when they see a review from someone else who uses them. This applies to any affiliate program or product that you promote. It helps establish credibility and allows you to brand yourself in the process. That’s my marketing tip for the day.

Let me know your thoughts on NameCheap’s new affiliate program by leaving a comment below…

I’ve been running Google Adsense ads on my website for well over a year now. I’ve made a decent amount of money from it so far, but not enough to get overly excited about. I know many who make a living from Adsense alone, but there are those who would rather use an Adsense alternative.

If you’re currently using Google Adsense, or perhaps Google banned your account (read this post by Peter Lee to find out how to prevent it from happening to you), and you’re looking for an alternative to Adsense, you may be interested in Yarie.com.

Yarie doesn’t automatically generate content related ads like Google Adsense, but instead, the ad categories are pre-chosen for you based on the niche of your website. For example, my site is geared towards the work from home and make money online niche. The categories that they choose would revolve around the niche, sort of like a sub-niche, if you will.

The best example of this would be on this site. If you go to my Replace Your Salary home page, look at the top right sidebar, and you’ll notice the heading “Real Online Jobs.” Below the heading are online job categories, which are the ads.

There’s not as much customization available to you as there is with Google Adsense ads, but so far I’ve seen good results. I’ve been running these ads from Yarie for two months now, which have actually made me more money than my Adsense ads.

Check out the screenshot below of my earnings for the past two months of using Yarie:

It’s not a whole lot, but consider the fact that this is completely automated, and I do nothing extra.

Setup is easy as well, although a little more complicated than with Adsense. You’ll have a piece of code to place anywhere on your site that you want the ads to show up, just like with Adsense. The difference is that you’ll also have to create another web page and upload it to your server. Details will be given to you and are easy to follow.

Once you’re setup, you’ll want to place the ads as close to the top of your page as possible. The closer to the top, the better the click-through-rate you’re going to get.

Right now I only have Yarie ads on my home page, and as I said, they’re performing better than my Adsense ads that I have on many different pages. I believe Yarie is a very good Google Adsense alternative, and I will continue to use them.

**UPDATE**

Moments after writing this review, I got a check in the mail in the amount of $43.20 for July’s earnings. See scan below:

Are you looking for an Adsense alternative? What do you think about Yarie from reading this post? Leave your comments below…

All of us come across Ads that say: Work From Home, Make Money Online, Get paid for surveys, Get paid to read emails, Get paid to click, Business opportunities etc… Oh my gosh! Is it really so easy to earn money!

Please stop buying those ebooks and make money stuff. Let me tell you that all that you need to know NOW for FREE! Most of us online money seekers have lost hundreds or thousands of dollars searching for the holy-grail OR the single secret to riches!

How many have succeeded ? Very few. OK, now let’s get to the point. What makes money ? Yes, the correct answer is sales. But how do we make sales online ? Yes, using a website that sells valuable products or services. OK, the website is READY. Now what? We need traffic. Lots of it… i.e. Targeted prospects who will give at least a minute of their valuable time to read what we have offered on our website.

Now here is the catch! How to get targeted traffic ? Please don’t buy it using the guaranteed visitors/hits option. Lots of crooks make money selling guaranteed hits to dreamers like us who feel it will produce results. Sorry to say, but that 100,000 hits for $50 doesn’t work. If it was that easy, then at least half of the world would have been RICH. But that has not happened yet because it’s tough to make money till we know how to make it. One more thing to remember, a source of traffic that works for a website does not mean same traffic will work for another website. Otherwise I would have listed all traffic resources here right for you to start using and make instant profit.

These are the only things you need to Make Money Online :

1. Your own email list/ezine. Well, this is like a cash cow. You can milk it whenever you want. Just don’t over do it otherwise the cow will run away! Send emails to the members about your products/services every 3 or 7 days.

You will get sales if the emails build trust and showcase you as an expert & friend. One dollar per month per member is what you can earn on an average. So have a list of 10,000 and you will earn about 10,000 dollars per month. The more members, the more money! Join & promote email list building programs.

2. Join & promote Traffic/click-thru exchange programs.

3. Use network marketing to leverage your income. Also earn residual profits. Residual income is the one that keeps coming for a sale/activity made just once. Leveraged income is earning from other people’s efforts. The day is too short and working lot of time does not make sense. Spare more time towards your loved ones. Help your downline in the MLM earn money. They will work and you will earn. It’s as simple as that. It is better to get paid 1% of 100 people’s efforts then we doing the 100% work.

Got it? OK. Then join and promote a reliable & product driven MLM today. If you have already joined it, then promote it like crazy. But DO NOT spam! Spam is illegal and offensive. Use PPC to get instant traffic. Targeted traffic is like watering a plant. The only exception is that the plant gets drowned if we put 10,000 liters of water but an internet business doesn’t get drowned with that much of targeted traffic. An Internet business prospers. More traffic = more money. Just ensure that the visitors are really interested in what you offer.

4. Do not simply post to FFAs. Do it only after you have your OWN FFA page online. When people will post Ads to your FFA page, they will get an email from you about the confirmation. This is an opportunity for you to get the word out about your products/services.

5. Stay in touch with successful people who have made money online. Regularly communicate with your sponsors/upline in MLM programs that you join.Take their help to learn more about internet marketing.

6. Use autoresponders and lead capture pages to create a profit making funnel which accepts leads & creates downline members who act as leaders and NOT as followers.

Work From Home. Spend more time with your family. Work really hard for at least the first 2 years to live your dreams for the rest of your life. Wish you all the best!

A while ago I had posted a question on the Warrior Forum about how to find a profitable niche. That question received some great responses, and I thought I’d share with you some ways you can find a profitable niche, even during the recession.

One thing I would just like to add is that it’s important to get into something that you have a personal interest in. There’s no point in creating a website in hopes of selling something if you have absolutely no interest in the products or idea.

For instance, I have an interest in video games. I have quite a few different gaming consoles, and I’ll every now and then take some time to play. Because of that, I decided to start a website related to the Nintendo video games niche.

I used some of the responses to my question to gauge exactly what niche I should go into. Here is some feedback (in my own words) of how to go about finding a profitable niche. And keep in mind… you want to make a profit here, otherwise it’s not worth it.

First, you want to find a “hungry” market. In other words, you want to find buyers for whatever it is you’re thinking of selling.

Once you find a hungry market, or niche, you need to gauge how much competition there is for that market. High competition isn’t always bad. That means there is money to be made. Too low of competition could mean there’s not a hungry market. But, that could also mean you have the chance to make some serious money due to the low competition and the need within that market. It requires some research, but more often than not, go after niches WITH competition.

So this brings the question… how do you go about finding a niche and also determining the amount of competition?

Here’s some strategies to find a hungry niche:

1. Search the term in Google, if there are a lot of advertisers at the right column of the results page, it’s likely a good one. These are ads that people are paying for.
2. Search on CBEngine.com. See what products are hot right now and what niche they’re in.
3. Search on Amazon.com. Check if there are books, CDs, etc. that sells to that niche.
4. If you’re looking to sell software, check Download.com, etc.
5. See if there are at least 3 forums in the niche you’re looking to get into.
6. Use Google Trends, eBay Pulse and Yahoo’s Top Searched to find out what people want.

Here’s some advice that would be very relevant to today’s economy. Find a lower priced niche that targets towards people’s needs more directly rather than expensive isolated niches.

How to determine the amount of competition…

I recommend reading How To: Evaluating Competition For New Site Niches as Dennis Edell posted an article by Donna Fontenot that provides some great insight on this very topic.

Also, use tools such as Google Keyword Tool and SpyFu to find out how many competitors you could be dealing with. If you’re focusing on specific keywords, do a simple search in Google and see how many websites show up for that keyword phrase.

Another tool I highly recommend is Detecting Online Commercial Intention: Audience Intelligence: adCenter Labs. This is to see if your particular keywords are profitability-oriented (example: people searching for “acne” want info. People searching for “acne cure” want a solution/product).

There’s a lot more I could share with you, but that should give you a pretty good start in finding a profitable niche you can use to make money on the internet.

If you want to fast-track your learning curve in finding a profitable niche and have all the hard work done for you, I recommend you check out the Niche Power Group.

It is no secret that the vast majority of those who start a Internet home business become frustrated. It has been said that roughly 95% of affiliate marketers will either make no money or lose money and give up. However, there are many people who make a comfortable living from the Internet and a select few who make a fortune.

The vast majority of the people who are making money on the Internet, to include the so called gurus, are just regular people. They are not some kind of super geniuses, and many of them have struggled and been frustrated at some point with their own Internet home business. These ordinary people have succeeded with no special training, and if they can, so can you.

If the vast majority of the those who succeed with a Internet home business are just average people, then why are they so successful? The top colleges do not offer a major in affiliate marketing, and yet so many people are making money even in this current economy. What makes these people so successful while so many others fail?

The key difference is those who are successful with their affiliate marketing are focused and organized. It may seem pretty basic, but that is it. The tools needed to succeed are both plentiful and free for anyone with a computer. However, organizational skills and staying focused are skills that are not easily learned.

Many who join affiliate marketing or start a Internet home business have the misconception that there is little work to do and money will instantly come flowing in. Another segment of those who begin affiliate marketing realize there is work to do and then become overwhelmed trying every marketing method they come across and try every affiliate program they see. Eventually most become frustrated and blame Internet marketing as a whole and not their own lack of organization skills.

Those who are successful realized the importance of first understanding what it is they want to accomplish with their Internet home business and then made monthly goals to work towards. By understanding the what, it is now easier to focus on the how.

Rather than jump from program to program, the successful affiliate marketer will first focus on one or two affiliate marketing programs and then learn how to successfully market them.

Having a daily, weekly, and monthly list of what needs to be accomplished will help many to stay organized and to avoid distractions. It is easy to click that advertisement for the next chance to make money and lose your focus. The successful affiliate marketer knows this and focuses on the daily task and the long term goal.

It is not rocket science to be successful with your Internet home business, it just takes organization skills and staying focused on your daily and long term goals.

With the all the talk about the global financial crisis daily, it might seem difficult to make money during the financial crisis. It’s not difficult to feel anxious about your financial future. While traditional brick and mortar businesses are struggling to get customers through the doors and spend their money, Internet and Affiliate Marketers are asking, what crisis?

Here’s a funny, yet realistic video of how the U.S. got into a financial crisis in the first place…

While making money on the internet falls short of the hyped up claims of making zero to five and six figure incomes after a month, starting your online career has never been easier. If you are concerned about the direction of your financial future as well as the stability of your job, making money online can help take some of that stress away by providing a little extra income in your pocket each week as another income stream. This will allow you to make money during the financial crisis without turning your life upside down. You DO NOT need to become a fully fledged marketer, quit your day job and take the financial risk to both you and your family. What you can do is provide some nice passive income at your own pace.

With all the doom and gloom, it’s important to note that even during times of crisis there are those that will prosper and make money during the financial crisis. We have the tools at our disposal to make the most of the tough time we are in. If you have a computer, an internet connection, which you do as you are reading this, then all you require is to take the next step and decide on your approach. The most popular and lucrative method online is Affiliate Marketing. Affiliate marketing allows you to promote some of the biggest names and products in the world. The beautiful thing about Affiliate marketing is that you do not need to hold stock, place orders, worry about employees or even work set hours; your approach is completely up to you. By simply referring potential customers with products you are paid a commission by some of the biggest companies in the world. Whether you have a blog, love to write articles, post on Facebook and Myspace, your time online can start making you money today.

DO NOT believe the hyped up products that seem to be too good to be true! Is it true that there are thousands of people making an absurd amount of money? Absolutely, but as with any business it takes time to grow. Being your own boss will allow you to dictate how many hours you want to put into growing your business. The flexibility of Internet and Affiliate Marketing makes it such an attractive proposition for most of us that spend countless hours on the Internet, writing blogs, posting on forums and surfing. If this rings home, then it’s time for you to consider to monetize the time you spend online and make money during the financial crisis for you and your family.

Does this story sound familiar? Are you over 40 and out of work? Don’t know what to do next?

Just a few years ago I took the some say crazy decision to leave the corporate world and set up my own business. I climbed the ladder through the organization and was earning a big salary plus the usual benefits such as car allowance, health insurance and pension. The company had set up a franchised operation and like many people, I’d often wondered about being my own boss and running my own company. This seemed like the perfect chance, a business out of a box so to speak. I was sure I’d never get another chance like this again so I decided to go for it.

For three years the business boomed and I have to say that had things continued as they were set up from the start, I’d still be doing it today. Problem was though, that as a franchisee, the franchiser called too many of the shots and wasn’t long before the revenues started to reduce as a result of commission cuts. It was around this time that the opportunity to sell the business presented itself and so that’s what I did.

This left me with some money to reinvest but it certainly wasn’t enough to retire on so I got involved in a consultancy organization but ended up losing a small fortune. I won’t bore you with the details, but as a result I found myself back on the job market and was fortunate enough to land myself a management position in a small family run business. Fast forward to 2008 and crunch, the business could no longer afford me and here I was over 40 years old, out of work and wondering what am I going to do next.

If you’re over 40 and unemployed, no matter how skilled you are, finding employment is going to be very tough indeed. Despite legislation, potential employers will think that you’re too expensive, too old and lacking in the drive that perhaps you had 15 years before.

Like many of you reading this, I looked to the internet in an effort to try and find a new opportunity. One where I could work from home and not have to outlay loads of money to get some kind of return. There are a huge number of make money online schemes out there and as I dabbled with affiliate marketing in the past I was sure I could sort the wheat from the chaff and find a program that could help me become a successful affiliate marketer. You can have a look here at some of the programs that I considered as someone over 40 unemployed and looking to make money online.

I signed up with Wealthy Affiliate University after a great deal of research and have found that the resources, tutorials and research tools are everything you need to get started as a budding internet marketer. Find out more if you’re over 40 and out of work here. Good luck and I hope it works for you!

Out of work and need a solution? I also recommend this program…

Grab competent points of view for web traffic – welcome to your individual guide.

Here are some ideas to make money from your website or blog.

Adsense – Google Adsense is the #1 ad program out there to make a nice little profit on the side. You place these ads on your blogs, Xomba, Your website, anywhere you want where it is allowed, even on Youtube! For every person that clicks an ad that interests them, you get a profit. There are two sides to Google Adsense, Publishers and Advertisers. Publishers put the ads on there content (blog, website, Xomba, Youtube) by signing up for an account at google for free. Publishers pay Google depending on how much they want and Google puts the ads on the publisher’s site when related to keywords on that page.

Adbrite – Competitor of Adsense. If you do not like Adsense try this program. I have heard it has good benefits and a lot less rules. I do not use Adbrite so I would not know.

Chitika – Chitika is becoming more popular every day! It is a search Ad as i call it and only shows up when someone is coming to your page via search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ect). You can post Chitika on pages with Adsense! This is a very good benefit! You can make a lot more money using both these ads. If you are interested in Chitika here is a link: http://chitika.com/publishers.php?refid=Paintballer32

Sell your Website Space!- If your website/blog is becoming popular you can sell the space that you are not using to advertisers that want their name on your site. I would depending on how big you are start off at 1$ per space block and increase it as people buy. I mean, you’re not using it anyways right?

Ehow – Ehow, among other websites will pay you to write useful information that users will like. Depending on how many articles you write and how good they are and if they bring traffic or not will determine how much you will be paid.

Sell things on your website! This is a good way to make profit from your sales. Make a PayPal account and buy items that you can sell for more and you keep the income. Or, sell products as an affiliate through Clickbank or Commission Junction.

There are a lot of programs out there that you can earn quite a bit of extra cash! Not all sites or programs are scams.

These are some things I would start using to get income! If used right you could be making a very decent income depending on how much and what kind of traffic you’re getting.

What are you doing to make money from your site? Leave your comments below.

One way that people choose to make money from home is through a home based business. There are many reasons that this choice is one that makes sense. It offers the owner many options that may not be present in all work from home jobs.

An advantage of having your own business is that of choices. You can turn a lot of things into a business. All that’s needed is a strong consumer demand for your service or product. It’s very possible to take an ability or talent you possess and turn it into a viable home based business. Begin with doing some research to assess the demand for it.

Once you have hit on the perfect product or service to offer, your next step should be figuring out just how much it will cost you out of pocket to get things started. This can be anywhere from very little to having to get a small business loan. It completely depends on what your business is going to be. For example, if you want to begin a house cleaning service, your initial financial outlay will most likely not be a lot.

Examples of home based business could be domestic help. After all you already clean your own house so there are probably already a lot of needed supplies on hand for this work from home based business. As you take on more clients, your inventory can be upgraded but, by then, you’ll have the money to do it.

Something you should keep in mind is that when running a home based business you forego a lot of the overhead that public businesses incur. You don’t have to pay rental fees on an office, for one thing although you will probably want to get a second line installed for business use. Everything you need is right in your home office. There are certain things you must pay for each month, anyway, and while some of these expenses may increase marginally, you won’t be paying them for 2 different places. That is certainly a real benefit of having a home based business.

It is better if you have a room in your home to devote to office space. In that way, the rest of your house remains yours and there is little notice that you actually are running a business out of your home. If you have small children, it’s even better to be able to keep work related items in a separate room so that little hands don’t destroy something, or cause harm to themselves.

When you feel you’re ready to take the plunge, don’t hesitate to ask for advice or guidance from others who are traveling this path. With the right idea, a little ingenuity, commitment, and dedication, you CAN make this work!
