Cutting Through the Bullcrap -- The Truth About Earning Money Online

It's been a few days since my last post and in that time I've done a lot of research and thinking about the various methods to earn money online. Between pop-ups, traffic exchanges, link rotators and autosurfs -- it can get confusing. So far most of the traffic I have generated to this site has been through the use of TrafficG and WebMasterQuest. In the period of maybe 4 hours of actual "work" I generated over 1000 unique visitors here. The problem is that in those 1000 visits I only had 3 referrals to 3 different programs, and all of those referrals and now inactive. So is the solution just more unique visitors? I think my next step is trying out region targeting; where you only advertise to those from a specific region so you reach a better audience. For example, say you own a t-shirt company that sells t-shirts with funny sayings that are in English. It would be much more beneficial if your audience was from an English-speaking country.

I've had some success with pop-up advertising in the past. Most of the programs online though, for whatever type of money-making scheme, are scams. I remember way back when AllAdvantage was getting popular and I thought they were a big scam. However, I tried their product, referred a few users and before I knew it I had checks coming to me via snail-mail that were legit. However that company has since died, but here's the good news -- some of the staff from AllAdvantage have come together with a few other brilliant minds to, in a sense, revamp AllAdvantage to succeed where it failed. This company is now called AGLOCO and looks very promising. Within 30 minutes of signing up I was able to get 2 referrals under me. Right now the program is still in a sort of "beta" mode but it is strongly encouring it's members to build their referrals up for the release of the viewbar to maximize profits.

My original dreams of someday managing a blog that generates enough revenue to support me financial are still going. No, I haven't made a substantial amount of money yet, but as the old saying goes with affiliate programs...one man with 1000 referrals still falls short of that one man with one good referral. This old saying definitely holds water.

It's really easy to contact me online if any of you ever have any questions or comments, or even just want a conversation. My e-mail address is jeskidmore (@) 321online.net and I use AOL Instant Messenger, and my screen name is UVR. Hope to hear from you soon.
