Make Money Online with Facebook and Twitter:

Two of the most popular, most addictive web applications (apps) are Facebook (a social networking site) and Twitter (a social shoutout service). I liked Facebook from the moment I decided to try it – and fell in love with it when they started incorporating add-on apps. Twitter, on the other hand, was something I tried, hated, and now I like again (especially after integration with Facebook and offering a few new tweaks).

For some people, these services may sound like a complete waste of time. And, yes, they can be real time suckers, if you let them. But, now, there may actually be a chance for users to make money online with Facebook and Twitter through a service called Twitcash. How?

Well, first of all, you need to have a Facebook and/or Twitter account. You need to log-in to these accounts using Twitcash. You can then set a Paypal email (so they know where to send you money).

If there are available ad campaigns in the Twitcash dashboard, you can join the campaign. Once you join, you can get paid when you do a Twitter update for every ‘follower’ that you have in Twitter who hasn’t seen the campaign. On Facebook, you get paid when you update your newsfeed for every ‘friend’ that you have who hasn’t the campaign. I believe the payment is 10 cents per follower/friend. Payment threshold is $10 and payable via Paypal.

I signed up with Twitcash just to see how it works. But, after a little poking, I have to admit that I’m a bit skeptical about this. Right now, it doesn’t appear like there are active campaigns for people to join. Facebook, for example, currently has millions of users. So, a single campaign can cost an advertiser a massive amount of money, unless there’s a better way to see who gets to join a campaign and such. And, if there’s no actual sales force behind Twitcash, then attracting advertisers will be a real challenge.

Make money with blog

Google AdSense: is probably the best known and most widely used way of monetizing a blog. It is very simple to setup, offers ads relevant to your content from a large number of trusted advertisers, pays about 60% of the click to you and pays out reliably. Sounds great doesn’t it? Well, AdSense does have some downsides. You can be ‘Smartpriced’ and your revenue per click can drop dramatically overnight. As well as this, there is the possibility that your readers have become AdSense-blind, having been exposed to similar ads on other sites they frequent. But if you want to monetize a very niche-oriented blog, AdSense would be right up there at the top of my list of revenue generators.

Chitika is a new slant on CPC that has really taken off in the last year. Basically Chitika will contextually pick a product and display a price, image and short description. Payout is reliable and can be sent straight to your PayPal account, something which is sure to attract many. While there have been varying tales of success and woeful performance, Chitika is most suited to commercial blogs. If you blog on a topic such as iPods, PSP, gaming, electrical accessories you will more than likely find Chitika generates a good revenue stream. But the one single benefit offered by Chitika is that it is AdSense-compatible. When you generate your code in the Chitika admin panel, simply turn off the contextual mode and enter a string of keywords such as ‘ipod’ or ’sony vaio’. Chitika will then serve ads based on your keywords. There are numerous plugins available that will automatically insert a keyword string based on your title tag, making this a very worthwhile program to sign up to.

Looking to turn your blog into a cash cow? Well here are several ways that you can do just that! Our first way of making money with your blog is called “Flagship Blogging”. This is the most profitable, yet the most time consuming of all the blogging efforts. This method concentrates on just a few of your blogs and monetizes them with direct advertising. This method concentrates on making your blogs popular so that there is more traffic to your blog. It is also very time consuming with all the updating and other things that need to be done in order to keep the flagship going.

Our second way is the pay per post way. You set up either your own domain names and blog or use free hosts and over time, maintain them with fresh content and improve their ranking. Another way to go about this is to submit your blogs to engines such as Blogitive, Pay Per Post and other such engines of that sort. How this works is that you submit your posts to these engines, then you start writing sponsored posts on your site. This is the way that you make money using this route.

Affiliate Programs
Another popular way to generate income from your weblog is through signing on with an affiliate program. Here's how they work. A company lets a website owner place a link or button on your site promoting the company's product. When one of your site visitors clicks on the link or button, the visitor is taken to a landing page to be induced to buy something. If the visitor buys something, you get a commission from the company. Sometimes the commissions are for leads, but most often they are for completed sales.The most popular Affiliate program in the blogosphere is Amazon's associate program. If you are an Amazon associate (www.affiliate-program.amazon.com), when you place a link to a book on Amazon from your site and someone clicks through that link and buys the book, you get a commission.

Advertising:
In addition to Google and various affiliate programs you can also take advertising directly from advertisers for your site. Tom Hespos outlines the steps in Yes, Blogs Are a Great Advertising Environment. One company that operates as a network of bloggers that accept advertising is Blogads. Blogads will take a very reasonable 30% commission of ads it places on your blog. To host BlogAds on your site you need to be invited by someone already part of the BlogAd network.
