Make Money From Artworks

2008-05-30T04:34:00.000-07:00

Sites where you can sell your artworks online.

http://www.artbreak.com/
Artbreak is a place for artists to share (and sell) their work, and a place for art lovers to find (and buy) incredible work from artists all over the world.
The concept is simple. Upload your artwork,set a price you want to sell it and wait for a buyer.

http://www.etsy.com/
Same concept as artbreak. Online marketplace where you can buy and sell items that are handmade, as well as vintage goods and crafting supplies.

http://graphicleftovers.com/

I think this is a great concept. Similar to the above two but specialised more on graphic arts such as logos, digital arts,templates,illustrations etc. But what makes Graphicleftovers really different is that it is a place for designers, illustrators and other creative souls to repackage their "rejects" and sell them on the web. Rejects does not mean second grade artworks but rather those that were not chosen by the clients.( I could be better ones!)

http://www.ebay.com/

http://www.boundlessgallery.com/
You need to pay a fee to join.
The cost varies based on the yearly Member Plan you choose. Warhol plan is $60 per year with a 10% commission rate, Picasso plan is $120 per year with a 5% commission rate and da Vinci plan is $240 with no commission on sales. BoundlessGallery.com does hold a 3% processing fee unrelated to the sales commission

Make Money From Music

2008-05-28T04:01:00.000-07:00

If you have talent in music-singer or songwriter, you can check out the sites below:

arkade
You set the price for your product.
You receive 100% of the price you set.
You retain 100% of your rights.
You have to pay subscription fee of £10

pumpaudio
Founded in 2001, Pump Audio is a new kind of agent for independent musicians, digitally connecting them with buyers in the mainstream media. With Pump Audio, artists can license their music into productions without giving up any ownership, while TV and advertising producers can discover new music ready for use.

youlicense
YouLicense is an online music licensing marketplace. They have developed a platform which enables artists and those seeking musical content to conduct business directly with one another in a safe and secure environment. YouLicense utilizes a unique search engine and provides standardized contracts which allow for a quick and easy process.

magnatune

They sell your music online. How much money does this really mean? The 50/50 split they offer means that a $5 album sale yields $2.50 for you, the artist. A typical record label will pay you 25 cents to a dollar in royalties on a CD sale after they recoup their expenses (if that ever occurs). That means they have to sell 1/10th as many albums to give the artist the same revenue.

TuneCore is a music delivery and distribution service that gets artists' original music (even cover versions) and record label releases up for sale on iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon MP3, eMusic, Sony Connect, MusicNet and Napster without asking for your rights or taking any money from the sale or use of your music.

Emubands

Emuband is a Digital Distribution service which allows independent record labels and unsigned bands and artists to sell their music through major online stores such as iTunes, Napster, HMV Digital, Virgin Digital, Tunetribe and many more.

CD Baby

CDBaby is a little online record store that sells albums by independent musicians.
Cool thing: in a regular record deal or distribution deal, musicians only make $1-$2 per album, if they ever get paid by their label. When selling through CD Baby, musicians make $6-$12 per album, and get paid weekly.

Online Tutoring-2 Sites

2008-05-27T10:32:00.000-07:00

They offers certain advanced features on WiZiQ for a monthly subscription fee. However, basic features on WiZiQ is free.

Buddyschool.

Buddyschool helps teachers and students meet,schedule lessons and take care of payments,but during the actual lesson they use Instant Messaging ( IM) and internet telephony (or VoIP:Voice Over IP ) applications like Skype, MS Messenger or Google Talk. There is no need to install any additional software beyond that

Get-Paid-To Scam sites

2008-05-26T21:51:00.000-07:00

The downside of get-paid-to programs is that there are scam sites. One way to find out if the program is legit or a scam is by joining a forum. You can post a question by starting a thread or just browse through the existing thread to check on the suspected site.

Make Money From Home From Photography

2008-05-25T23:47:00.000-07:00

There are a few ways for you to make money online from photography.
You can join Cafepress,E-Bay,build your own blog/site and earn from advertising or submit your photos to online stock agencies such as:
www.stockphotoexpert.com
iStockphoto.com
www.photosecrets.com/

I plan to post a longer list of the online stock agencies later, so please do come back and check this space. But for now i would like to share with you the opportunity to make money from home from photo sharing. Below are sites that offer the service:

http://www.goodtolove.com/

http://www.flickr.com/

blogs.photopreneur.com/

http://www.larsonconcepts.com/

http://www.photosharing.org.uk/

hoorraycom/

flicksharing.com/

www.livevideo.com/

http://www.shareapic.net/

It's difficult to tell whether the site is legit or a scam, but my advice is that ( this applies to all kind of online business actually) don't commit yourself fully in the beginning. Give yourself time to understand and master the concept-a probation period so to speak.This will normally take a couple of months or wait until you're eligible for a minimum payout.Request for your first payment and see how it goes.A legit or good site would normally pay you without much hassle.

4 Ways To Get Backlinks

2008-05-24T01:42:00.000-07:00

1. Visit Member's Blogs -Read and understand the content and comment if you want to.When i said member's blog, i mean you have to join a Blog Directory. You can start by joining MyBlogLog or Blogcatalog.Thus far,I have a good traffics from both MyBlogLog and Blogcatalog.

2. Market your article/post -Submit your articles to Article Marketing Sites such as Ezinearticles. You'll get a lot of exposures when they publish your article,but don't forget to leave your site link/URL at the bottom of the post for readers to link back and visit your site.Most of the Blog Marketing Sites encourage an original content, but nothing is really original anymore.Having said that i still think that copy and paste is wrong. You can get an idea of what to write but the writing itself has to be truly yours.

3. Join Forum - Forum like Digital Point and Big-Boards.Com is where you want to be.
Big-Boards has large online forums with divided topics. Participate actively because these forums have huge followers with millions of posts and members.At Digital Point you'll find that discussions are generally evolve around managing a website/blog while on BigBoards the 'big followers' forums are mainly on online games forum.

4. Submit Article/post to Social Bookmarker-I have a nice experience with Socialmarker.The first time i submitted my blog, it took them only about 2 days to publish my post on the first page of Propeller,and from it i had quite a number of backlinks.I strongly recommend you to submit to them.

Making At Home - Free Online Dating Affiliates

2008-05-21T23:57:00.000-07:00

Online dating is one of the most lucrative Internet business today. Site like Plentyoffish is making millions annually with just a handful of staff .But let's not start big because you can still make serious profit with a small online dating site with no risk at all. I've done some research on the subject and i personally think that making from home should start with minimal start-up capital if not free.So my recommendation is based on starting your own site with no upfront payments at all.
If you're excited of joining this booming industry, i would first suggest to you to read this article. This article is inspiring because, it tells you that you don't have to be Internet-smart to be successful online!
One of the easiest way of getting your business up and running immediately is by joining a white label Dating Affiliates.
Affiliates that I've listed below does not require you to know everything about technical stuff relating to setting up a site. All you need to do is to register and think of your site's name, what is your dating niche and your target market. Upon registering you can access to your pre-designed site and start editing it. When you're satisfied with it, you can start promoting/marketing your site and you're in business.
It's easy.
I've myself registered with the affiliates below and now busy marketing them:

Love Story Of Tan Hong Ming

2008-05-17T00:54:00.000-07:00

Lets take a break.
Lets not talk about making money online.
Lets talk about Tan Hong Ming And Umi Qazrina. Lets talk about love!
I want you to watch the clip below. Its an ad shown on local TV to celebrate Malaysia's 50th Independent that propagates racial harmony.
Malaysia as you probably know is very much a multi-racial country. The main races is Malay,Chinese and Indian. A failure to understand each other would result in what had happened in May 13, 1969 when there was a bloody racial confrontation between Malay and Chinese. An event that all parties try not to remember and is trying hard to avoid it happening ever again.

Tan Hon Ming is a Chinese and Umi Qazrina is Malay.
The clip shows us that we never knew what race was until we grew up and start looking at each other's weaknesses.
The ad was produced by Leo Burnett Malaysia and conceptualised/directed by talented Yasmin Ahmad. It has won 13 major international awards such as One Show Awards , Andy Awards and APAF.
Yasmin a Malay is married to a Chinese, admitted that this particular ad has cut through all kinds of barriers, because the two are so real.

"Our children are colour blind. Shouldn't we keep it that way?"

Paid To Review Sites

2. Associated Content
Associated Content is slightly different from Review Stream whereby instead of a review you're requested to write a content.A content is basically an article. Your content is included in the AC library, displayed on your profile page, and may even be distributed to partner sites.AC offers upfront payments for some content submissions as well as a monthly performance payment for all of your original content.

3. Ciao

At Constant Content ( CC) you can submit your content (article) on any subject and they will market your content with a price tag. Any customer who would want to use your content/articles for their websites or magazines have to pay.How much your content would be priced is entirely up to you, but CC gives you a sample pricing that you can use as a guide. How much an you earn? If you're a good creative writer, i think you can actually earn a lot !

How to get traffic from blog comment

2008-05-13T19:10:00.000-07:00

One of the simplest way to increase traffic to your blog is by commenting on other blogs.
So, how does this works?
Well, a popular blogs/sites such as John Chow,Problogger, Shoemoney, Doshdosh, BoingBoing etc. have massive followers. So commenting on their blogs can make your blog visible to other bloggers.
If you can get half of those readers clicking on your link, the number of traffic you can expect coming to your blog would be quite substantial.

For it to be effective, i have listed down in a point form what to do and what not:
1. Don't spam by inserting your link within your comment.
2. Spend some time really reading and understanding the article.
3. Comment only on articles that interests you or on the same subject or similar subject as yours.
4. Be genuine in your comment.
5. Your comment has to be attractive and interesting enough to attract other blogger to click on your link.
6. Make it short and simple. Long comment tends to bore readers.
7. Even though this is a free world and we can say whatever we think that is right, it is better to say something positive and constructive. I personally think that if you disagree with what is written it's probably best for you not to leave any comment, but if you want to then packaged it nicely.
8. And the most important point to remember is to visit the popular sites/blogs regularly so that you can be among the first to comment. Being the first few is important for it to be noticeable to other readers hence increasing your link to be clicked. No many readers that would read all the comments, especially if you're at the bottom.

Blog Not Attracting Much Traffic?

2008-05-11T19:37:00.000-07:00

PROBLOGGER posted a question on his blog on How To Stay Motivated As A Blogger when your blog is not attracting much traffic.

I really think that this is an interesting subject simply because it hit me smack on my face.
You think you've done almost every single thing that was suggested and advised by those who have made it. Still, the kind of traffic that you're hoping for is shying away from your blog.
In my case i can always convince myself that my blog is relatively new to be picked up by the main search engines. But for those of you that have been around for quite sometimes now it could be really demoralising and frustrating.

The question here is how to get ourselves motivated?
Reading through the comments received i can safely concluded that the only way to get motivated is to write something that you're passionate about and to keep on reading blogs that inspire you.

I must say that PROBLOGGER has been some sort of guru to me now and what is the best way to get inspired than to visit your guru regularly?

Make Money From Pay To Click -Beware of Scam Sites

2008-05-09T21:54:00.000-07:00

In our excitement to make some extra cash online, some of us would register with Pay To Click (PTC) Or Pay Per Click ( PPC ) programs.

I would say most or majority of the sites are real but there some out there that try to make quick money themselves and disappear or never paid.

I don't think you earn much from this program but i've read some inspiring stories about people making reasonable amount of money from it. But still i think the amount of time that you would spend clicking sometimes does not justify the amount that you will be getting. Even so, there are parties that would take an advantage of your excitement to earn some extra cash into a scam.

If you have registered for this kind of program, it would be good if you could check your program if they are listed under a scam program/site.

Below are sites that offer or give you lists of scam sites:

1. clickfraudscam

2. katebux

3. realptcsite

4. ptcguide

Where To Find Free Blog Template

2008-05-09T07:25:00.000-07:00

I must say that I tend to stay longer on blogs with beautiful simple layout, but I haven't got the time to spare on inserting one myself!( But I'm planning to).
Below are sites that you can get free template.
Just a reminder,before you insert a new one make sure that you save the old one.Just in case you change your mind.

1. pyzam ( a lot of choices on varieties of subjects)

Top Bloggers

2008-05-08T06:29:00.000-07:00

I don't think i can relate to John Chow, Problogger or Shoemoney.

They have thus far managed to convince me that they're in a different league. The gap created between them and a novice blogger like me is too huge.( But i have to admit as well that i'm catching up with them faster than i thought i could :) ).

I'm not saying that i didn't learn anything from the top earners (infact i learnt a lot from Problogger especially) but rather it is much more inspiring to follow the 'not making as much' money bloggers.
Below are the list of what i would say up and coming bloggers.
The number in the bracket is the ranking given by 45n5 .( Problogger is at no.1 spot follows with Shoemoney and John Chow respectively). I've chosen those that i think a beginner blogger like me could relate to.

Observe the layout, subject, ads and their contents and see what we can learn from them:

(74) Aojon

(76) Itswritenow

(78) Dazzlin Donna

(84) Twenty Steps

(103) Etienne Teo

(111) One Mans Goal

(128) The 30 Day Man

(134) Thatedeguy

(269) Rajawang

(272 ) My Journey To One Million

(275) Jonnyq888

Blog Directories

2008-05-07T08:39:00.000-07:00

Apart from the main four Search Engines you can also submit your blog to the Blog Directory. You have to register to become a member and make new blogger friends. Most of the directories have 'social networking' concept and registration is free. I would suggest that you spend sometime registering to some of the directories listed below. The impact of getting traffic to your site perhaps not as good as the Search Engines but you can certainly learn a lot from your 'friends' there. I find the forums to most of these directories are very helpful.
If your interest is purely getting traffic to your blog, i would suggest that you don't spend too much time here.Having said that spending some time submitting to as many as you can won't hurt.

Submitting Your Blog To Search Engines

2008-05-05T07:38:00.000-07:00

I hope this can be of some help for those who have just started blogging.
The next thing you need to do is to register your blog to the Search Engines.
As per August 2006 the biggest in term of number of searches on search engines are as below:

1. Google/AOL 49.6%

2. Yahoo 28.8%

3. Windows Live/MSN Search 12.8%

4. Ask 5.4%

And i don't think the data has changed that much since.That would give a smaller one with less than 4%.
For a start you can start submitting your site/blog to the above search engines and i'll try to post an entry on how to submit to the smaller ones later.

Traffic To Your Blogs

2008-05-03T00:05:00.000-07:00

I think this is a good program because the surf ratio is 1:1. Each time you surf a member site you'll get one hit yourself.
The layout is simple and easy to navigate (which is good for someone who hates to read long tiring standard instructions)
Its fast loading even you have to wait for 20 second before you can click to the next site.
Registration is free and simple.
You can click on the link below if you're interested.

Good Ads For Your Blog

2008-05-01T18:15:00.000-07:00

Adverlets

This is a Malaysian based blog advertising network.
I'm not quite sure if they accept blogs from outside Malaysia yet.
You'll be paid in Ringgit Malaysia ( USD 1 = RM 3.2 ). So if you're outside Malaysia you have to do a bit of conversion there.
But the network is friendly, simple to handle and only image ads is available at the moment.
The difference between this network compares to others is that they have a system that allows the collection of real-time demographics, and also allows bloggers to make their own custom polls.
I have registered for almost 2 weeks now and i can say that the ads are getting more and more interesting (some are animated!).

Traffic Anyone?

2008-05-01T17:27:00.000-07:00

Thought i would share this with you.
Blogexplosion has been around for quite a while i think, because i've stumbled upon it a couple of times while searching for traffics but never really interested to check it out.
What i like about Blogexplosion is that, you don't just get traffics but you get to read loads of good blogs.
I supposed they take time to actually vet through your blog before approving it for it to appear in the window. If your blog is denied, it is still okay because you still have the traffics that you can assign to your blogs.
Registration is free and the community is great!

Hollywood Combo

2008-04-23T08:38:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time Ben fell for Jennifer.

Or was it Jennifer who fell for Ben?

Doesn't really matter. What matters was that they were all over each other professing their undying love for each other publicly.

And they wanted to be known with just one name.

A simple and sweet one. A combo perhaps.

What about Bennifer? That sounds very green and pine ish.

So it was Bennifer until Jenni went back to the block and dumped Benn.

But Ben never gave up and found another Jenni, so its Bennifer again. There's a happy ending after all.While Bennifer sounds green and fresh, Tom was tamed by Kathy and they become Tomkat. Tomkat apparently is slightly notty and nutty. Hence the jumping up and down on Oprah's sofa.
Tom before falling for Kat was Tommi and Tonic respectively.

The formula is simple.

1. Male name has to be in front of female. Or you'll get Jenniben and not Bennifer.Katom instead of Tomkat. In the Clintons case you'll have Hillbillies instead of Billary which sounds very calculative.Ashdem definitely better than DemiAs. So, male name in front.

2.The combo should give you some indication of the couple personalities or should described their relationship. Brangellina sounds very fairy like or ballerina ish and disney. Guymad or Madguy would explains Madonna's relationship with her husband. Jude Law and Sienna Miller will always sound Jusie.

I have a few couples name, why don't you have a go!

1.Hilary Duff & Joel Madden

2.Anna Nicole Smith & Howard K. Stern

3.Pamela Anderson & Borat

4.Jennifer Aniston & Vince Vaughn

It Don't Matter

2008-04-18T21:18:00.000-07:00

History is in the making.
It won't be long.

Next year, for the first time in American history, they will have the first women or black president. Looking at the two-party system, this time around America will choose a Democrats.
Forget about McCain.

But hang on a sec.
Yes, Hillary is a woman but is Barack Obama really black?
MJ is. I mean you can tell.
But Obama is not really black. He's half black or half white.
So let me make a correction, the first half black or half white president of the USA.
But why do we always think that mixed celebrities are black instead of white?
I mean like Halle Berry, Lenny Kravitz, Lisa Bonet and Allicia Keys. We take them as a black celebrity when the actual fact is that they're mixed.

So, just when i thought that America is ready for their first black president, they're actually half ready!

Halle Berry in Obama's T-Shirt.

Just As Human.

2008-04-17T01:22:00.000-07:00

Celebs are bigger than life.
To us they smell good 24/7. They look good even after only 5 minutes out of bed. They don't eat stuff that we consumed and hardly farted.
Even if they have to it would smell and sound nice.

While surfing for some celeb pictures, i stumbled upon the not so nice ones.
The one that are taken when they're arrested by the police; yeah a mug shot as they called it.
I'm sure that if they knew that the pictures will be uploaded for public viewing, they would have used the right for a one phone call to call their make up artists rather than their lawyers.

We are only human after all.

American Idol - Who's next Mr. Cowell?

2008-04-15T22:58:00.000-07:00

I guess when your name made it into wikipedia, you can consider yourself significant.
You're now as important to mankind as thong or Buddha.
Simon Cowell made it.
Yes, that Simon.
So why is Simon Cowell important? Or rather why is Simon Cowell important to American Idol?
Because Cowell is American Idol.
American Idol without Cowell is not American Idol ( and he is a Brit).
The nice thing about American Idol is that you get to see singers being Cowelled week in week out:

-It was excruciating!
-That was horrible
-That was just pathetic
-I've been known to call someone the worst singer in the world...but you by far are the worst singer in the universe..
-Did you really believe you could become the American Idol? Well, then, you're deaf.
-If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.
-My advice would be if you want to pursue a career in the music business, don't.
-Shave off your beard and wear a dress. You would be a great female impersonator.

So, when you're in Wikipedia, what else that we don't know about this man?
The kind of women in his life perhaps?
Well he had a relationship with Sinitta, the British singer.(on the right)

Now with this woman.
So, we can roughly guess Cowell's taste.
So, who's next Simon?

World is A Boring Place

2008-04-15T02:05:00.001-07:00

World is a boring place.

We need some real entertainment. And nothing can beat what war can give.

So someone can wake up every morning with something to look forward to.

But we need a reason.

We cannot just go in and bang! bang! bang!.

So lets think of one.

Ah Ha Yeah!

Weapons of mass destruction!

So in they went.

After 5 seasons the show is no longer fun.

I stumbled upon this fact today:

Spent & Approved War-Spending - About $600 billion of US taxpayers' funds.

For a country with 300 million people, it was only $2,000 each.

And if you divide it with 5 years, it was only $400 a year.

A month, each of you only chipped in $33.33.

What is $33.33 for a world peace?

This year you'll only need to give out $3.33 a month to your country and enjoy thecontinuing world peace.

Since 2003, you only lost 4,021 lives.

That is nothing compares to an average of 42,000 people a year died in road accidents alone( 10%?).

The theory is that, if they didn't go to war they'd die on roads.

So what the fuss is all about?

Its only war.

It happens.
