Day #2 Triond: Write more and earn more
Triond is another site which shares with you the revenue earned from your article. This is site pays members based on the views earned by it. This site is for beginners and the pay is comparatively lower than others. If you are an experienced writer, you may think Triond as a waste of time. However, if you are newbie to the world of content writing, than this site is a good place for you to start. This site offers a lot of resources which you might get on Google. I like the complete compilation at a single place. Since you are just starting content writing read the resources provided and simultaneously start writing. Once you have published your article it takes approximately 12-24 hours for your article to get approved by Triond team. The Triond team reviews your article to maintain quality on their website. You are not allowed to post personal links. Hence you cannot use this site to promote your blog or for doing affiliate marketing. This is one feature which makes Triond a very informative site with no promotional misguidance to the reader. I think if you are looking for a long term income Triond may turn out to be a good pick. You get paid every time someone clicks to read your content. However, I did not used for a long time as I saw drops in my views after some time and hence my earnings dropped as well. I use this site to learn content writing and see what sells in the market. I wrote articles and studied the trend in the market and then based on this I wrote articles which helped me gain readers. The payout of Triond is very low ($0.5) and hence can achieved easily. Another thing which I like about them is great support. Once I had difficulty in deleting in one of my articles and I posted it in their help section and my query was answered within minutes. Good work Triond team. I would recommend this site to anyone who is starting content writing. In the next article, I will post about marketing your article to the readers.

Day #4 Article marketing part 2: Use Twitter
Last time we discussed that how Facebook and Digg(click here) can be used to get traffic to your article. Digg can fetch thousands of visitors if your submitted article makes to the front page of it. Else, even your meaningful comments to the article which make to the front page can fetch you good traffic. However, you may want to know more ways of getting traffic to your article. In the following part we will discuss about other website which can bring you traffic. Twitter: This micro blogging platform can bring you tons of loyal readers. I have seen writer posting their URL on twitter after writing article and getting thousands of visitors. How attractive you write in the 140 character limit of twitter will decide the number of visitors you will receive. If your article is good, people will retweet your article which means they submit your tweets in their tweets again. Wow more traffic. However, it is not that easy as it may look. We need to discuss twitter in detail. We will first understand how twitter works? Twitter gives each user a space of 140 characters to write in one go (which are called tweets). In Twitter we have something called followers, anyone who like your tweets will follow you. Who is a follower? Follower is someone you can see all you tweets and you can see tweets of people you follow. Initially, follow people hoping that they may be followed. Before following anyone, see its follower to following ratio. If this ratio is high it means that he/she is a known face on twitter and not likely to follow you. Try to find people with fewer followers and start following them. You can unfollow those who don't follow you back. This can be done by using a service called twitter karma. This site will unfollow all those who didn't follow you back. How to get traffic from twitter? Don't expect that posting about your articles will gain you readers. It will never happen, contribute to community before expecting results. What I mean is you should post interesting blogs and article you have read. Once you have reputation of an informative tweeter, people will wait for your tweets. Hence reputation formation is an important step in gaining readers. Click here to create an account on twitter. Rest you can use your innovation on twitter. Tell me you felt about his post.
Qnaads: Get paid Question Answers Ads
I thought that you might have just started writing on bukisa, I should tell you about an interesting opportunity that I came across. Did you know that there are companies which pay you to answer questions? Yes, they exist you can make good money from these site. On these sites like Chacha and kgb, user ask sms question which you can answer on SMS using their facilities. However, these sites accept members from US. I have using a site call Qnaads which pays you based on per as you answer. This is very interesting and each question will have different amount to be paid. This site accepts members from both US and India. This site in very beginning stage and looks promising. I can't assure you, that you will see results within days or weeks. However, there are a lot of advantages of joining such sites at an early stage as you once this site start to pick up you can refer a lot of members and earn money from them. Since this site is just building up their referral system is not up yet. However, think by the time Qnaads referral system is up and you would have received your first few payments which can easily get you a lot of referrals. The payout of this site is $10 and use paypal as the mode of payment. So hurry up and join. If you have websites that pays for answering or similar work do leave as a comment so that others can learn from it. Enjoy reading.

Paid to survey: Your opinion counts

The way I am going, I will have $10 in my paypal account soon. Do you have more offers in this course?" Ajay:" Ya dude, there is still a lot to come. This is just the beginning. What about you Raj? How are you doing?" Raj: "Things haven't been great for me. I worked on PTC. I also tried making referrals but it didn't give me great returns. I think online money making is not for me." Ajay: "Wait. Firstly I told not to give up to easily. Take my tips as a course, try all of them. I am sure something will work for you." Raj: "Give me some tips on other ways of internet money making." Ajay: "Ok. Did you know that you can get paid for sharing for your opinion? What I will do this week is tell you, to make money doing online surveys." Raj: "I didn't get it. Why will anyone pay me for my opinion about their product?" Ajay:"They pay you because your opinion gives them the consumer feedback which they need for making new products. Many company pay people to try limited version of the trial product and get feedback from these people. On the basis of these feedbacks they make changes in the product before launching it. Hence to save themselves from product failure they pay people for product trial and survey of the product." Amit: "How to start in this area? Is there scope networking in this" Ajay:" Networking is the backbone bone of every business. All companies all to have more people in their business while the rewards may not be great. All you need to do is join the site, provide them with all the information which is required and your account is created. Once your account is created, you will have to fill various profiles like your travel profile, income profile and personal profile." Amit: "What is the use of filling these profiles?" Ajay: "Based on these profiles you qualify for survey. The more you provide information the more surveys you get and more money you make." Suddenly there is calmness in the room and everyone is thinking while Ajay is thinking which survey site to tell for starting. Ajay:" I will tell you a site which has worked best for me and accept international members. This site is Global test market. Try this site and I think Raj you will start making money online with surveys J"
PTC: Let’s review some websites
Today we are taking a break from the normal story and we will discuss something about each of the site Ajay has suggested in his course to his friends. I have been making some money from these sites with the help of college friends. These sites pay 100% to its members. I don't want to prove this by posting by my account transaction however; I am not against people who do so. Posting account transaction is definitely not my style. Earning money online from PTC (Pay to click) takes a lot of time. Click ads in it is one part but equally important is to develop a network of people. Networking is something which helps you growing and is required in every walk of life. We shall review each site I have posted till now. If you join under me just leave a comment and I shall give u tips of growing. If you decide to go otherwise, no problem I am still there to help you but you understand that will give preference to my referrals. :P . Just kidding. J Trekpay: I love this site. This site is best rewards of your time. They aim of the site owner is to develop a web search system where they will pay you for every search you make. However, this site is in the beta phase hence you get 15-20 website to click each day and you are paid per click some credits. The value of the credit is decided based on total revenue generated and divided among members based on the credits accumulated. Payout : $5.5 You get approximately up to 3 cents a click which is a good deal. I will also recommend to use the Trekpay advertising as it brings to you good traffic at a very low cost. (click here to join) Bux.gs: Good PTC site, pay it pays you $ 0.015 for each site you visit and $.01 for each site your referral visit. The calculation here is simple. Click ten ads per day =$.15 Make 20 referral you click 10 ads per day = $2.0You You make monthly income of $ 64.50 on internet. This is a decent pay for clicking ads. Another feature which I like about this site is referral buying. You can rent/buy referral in this site. Hence this will help you increase your income. I am not sure how are they gaining from this still I think some of the referral you buy may be inactive. If you wish to join as a clicker click here. You can also use Bux.gs to get traffic hence try it here. Hits4pay Hits4pay is a cool option for clickers, giving clickers $.02 per click which is a good deal. You will have to wait for the site to get yourself approved the admins. However, you will need submit your tax info for receiving your payment. That all for today guys. Hope, you liked it. Leave comments on which is your PTC site.

Ajay:” Yup. This information is for all beginners. All you need to do is hard work. So, let’s start. Do any of you know about pay to click or PTC”?
Raj:” Yes. These are the sites which pay you for every site you visit in their database. I was searching few and found that some pay extremely low and those who promise good money, never pay. They just get hits from us and never pay. I gave up finally.”
Ajay: Yes you are right about the PTC definition. However, about the non-paying PTC site. You never tried the low paying site right? Remember, What I said, money making is overnight rich scheme. I need’s your time. Since we cannot invest money initially invest time. It will teach you patience and to stay cool when things aren’t moving fast.
