Google Knol will Help You Make Money Online

Google officially launched a new web authoring tool called Knol on Jul 23. Google Knol is free and opened to everyone. It is a content sharing network where you can write and publish articles in most of the topics. Each article page or content page you created is called a Knol.

Publishing a Knol is quite similar to publishing a blog post except the tone is more formal. You can insert related picture or image to your Knol and once your Knol created, readers are allowed to comment and rate your article in the Knol.

What Benefits You'll Gain from Publishing Google Knols?

AdSense Ads is Allowed in Knols
Google said that the authors can choose to include AdSense ads in all their Knols. So, each of your Knols that attract traffic may earn you some AdSense ad revenue. But, if you are actively creating Knols that share useful content, it is possible to earn a nice AdSense income every month as you will have more Knols gaining traffic.

Get Free Google Traffic
The Google knol homepage http://knol.google.com gained thousands of quality backlinks in less than a week. It is expected that it will gain decent of backlinks just like the other two content sharing networks, Hubpages and Squidoo. Because of the huge amount of backlinks Hubpages and Squidoo have gained, they are now getting million of visitors from search engines like Google and Yahoo every month (I believe most are from Google).

This will happen to Google Knol as well. Google Knol will soon gain huge amount of backlinks and many of the Knols created by different authors will start ranking high on Google search engine and enjoy free Google traffic. Those who manage to get their knols ranked on a competitive keyword will receive steady traffic. They can include links in their Knols to direct these Google traffic to their website or blog or choose to monetize their Knols with AdSense ads so that these Google traffic can be converted into AdSense revenue.

Google Knol has their own content policy and term of service. You should read and understand them before creating a Knol to publishing your content. Google doesn’t allow spamming, any Knol that against their policy will be deleted.

eCovers Photoshop Action Scripts

One of the things I have noticed in the past 6 months is how new people seriously lack many basic tools to be able to perform basic task. No doubt it could not only become overwhelming but also expensive when it comes to acquire all the things we need.

Many of the tools we need are just basic and also a must. In internet marketing you will need graphics, private label products, templates and a solid ebook cover script. Now many of these things you can buy from a supplier for example I pay $147.00 per mini-site and this includes a template and ebook cover with banners. I outsource this for some special projects but most of the time I do myself.

In the next few days I will launch sites that will have products you need but instead of paying huge amounts of money I will make it affordable for you.

Today I will launch eCovers Unleashed (LMAO!! Yeah I know “Unleashed” what can I say) most ecover action script packages run from $47 to $97. Most of you can not afford this. The ecovers Unleashed action script package will only cost you $17 I also added some basic products as bonuses since I have learned that many of you do not even know the basics.

At BU I only try to teach advance things. The stuff you do not get from the 500 shit ebooks. So in every product launch I make I will do my best to try to add in bonuses that provide you the basics to get you going.

I decided to start with the ecovers action script because I was asked over 100 times over both at the live channel and emails where to get cheap ebook covers, unfortunately there are no cheap ones so you either cough up the $47 dollars and make them yourself or you are deeply fucked.

Now you will not have to cough up $47 or $97, with $17 dollars you will have access to the same scripts that the pros use to make ebook covers.

As you folks should know by now I try my best to not only to teach you but to help you in anyway I can to maintain your expenses as low as possible. I decided to use the 7 Dollar Script as my sales software to provide you a way to get your investment back. In other words you can sell my eCovers Unleashed action scripts with an affiliate link and get paid directly to your email. All you have to do is make your affiliate link like this: http://ecoversunleashed.com/index.php?e=you@yourpaypalemail.com in other words all you need to do is replace the email in this example with your paypal email and if the person buys you will get paid instantly directly to your email. You will not have to wait 60 days to get paid it will be done instantly to your paypal account.

In order to take advantage as an affiliate you must buy eCovers action scripts, the affiliate email only works with people that bough the software.

To use this and every other ebook action script you will need Photoshop. Photoshop is expensive as fuck so my recommendation is download the trial which is 30 days and make ebook covers like crazy and hopefully by the time it expires you have made enough money to buy it.

How to Make Money on the Internet - Blogging

The internet is full of ways to make money and there are a lot of different approaches you can take to make money on the internet. Let me introduce you to blogging - more specifically let me explain to you how people make money on the internet with this fairly new method (think back 5 years, not 5 months).

What Exactly Is Blogging Anyway?

According to Wikipedia:

A blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.

In plainer English, a blog is a website that shows the newest entries at the beginning, usually on the homepage. This website is a blog, and for that reason you will always find my newest writing on the homepage, at the top. As you scroll down, you will find the other entries I have written, newest to oldest.

What Are Blogs About?

There are blogs about everything! This blog teaches people how to make money on the internet. There are blogs about sports, news, fitness, cooking, humor, teaching, parenting, celebrities, and everything else you can imagine.

Blogs are a great format for news sites. Since blogs show the newest entries first, readers can easily find the most recent news stories. Bloggers (those who blog) post news about every industry, and provide their own opinions on the subject matter.

When blogs first started, they were created primarily to be online journals, but have now evolved into websites about anything and everything.

How To People Make Money Blogging?

The simple answer to that question is that blogs get traffic and convert it into money. Getting traffic is very possible with a blog, in fact it’s much easier to get traffic to a blog than it is to get traffic on traditional websites. I’ve created an entire series of posts on why blogs are the easiest way to get traffic and covert it into money. The method is called ‘Keyword Sniping’. In a nutshell, Keyword Sniping is the fastest and most direct way for people to pull search engine traffic to their websites and create a steady, low maintenance income.

Because of the immense popularity of the Keyword Sniping posts, I’ve created a free, downloadable report called “Introduction to Keyword Sniping: Your Shortest Path to $1,000 Per Month Online” that breaks down the entire philosophy. You can grab your copy of the book by filling out the easy form below (obviously I’ll never share or sell your information - it’s completely safe with me). The report will take you through all the steps for getting your first Keyword Sniper sites off the ground.

Email:

Blogs can develop quite a following by people interested in the blog’s industry. Popular blogs can get thousands of hits per day. Gizmodo, Engadget, and Perez Hilton are three mega popular blogs which all get hundreds of thousands of visitors per day.

The traffic of most blogs is converted to money through advertising. That probably sounds difficult to you if you’re new, but it’s actually really easy. The primary revenue streams of most blogs are:

• Ad-Boxes
  • Google Adsense - Anyone can sign up for this service and it’s 100% free to use. Google will display ads on your blog and pay you when they get clicked on. This is by far the easiest way to make money with your blog. If you look closely at my pages you will find ad units labeled ‘Ads by Google’.
  • Yahoo! Publishing - Yahoo’s version of Adsense. Yahoo’s version is also free to use.
• Contextual Ads - These are ads that are displayed throughout the text of your blog. If you look closely through my pages you will see links that are double underlined. These are actually ads and if you hover over them, a little ad-box will pop up. The contextual ad company will pay for clicks on the links or the ad-box.
  • Intelitxt - The first major company to offer this type of advertising. It’s quite difficult to get an account with them unless you have over 500,000 hits per month.
  • Kontera - Another player in the contextual ad game. Kontera is easier to sign up for when you’re still small.
• Affiliate Programs - Many bloggers sell products and services for other sites and receive appropriate commissions. There are tons of sites out there that offer free, affiliate programs including:
  • Amazon
  • eBay
  • Shopping.com
• Text Links - Bloggers can sell links from there pages to other websites. Most bloggers that use this kind of revenue stream use a company called text-link-ads.com. Their service is free to use and their company will sell the ads for you. The sites that purchase them pay monthly, and you get paid monthly.
• Direct Sales - Some bloggers sell their own products and services.

How Much Can A Person Make Blogging?

That’s really tough question to answer. Some blogs create $500,000 per year and some make $0. The amount a person can make with a blog depend on a lot of factors including:

• Blogger’s Knowledge and Experience
• Quality and Quantity of Blog’s Information
• Marketing
• Determination
• Longevity
• Luck (This isn’t a joke but it is of course possible to create luck.)

I think that it’s very possible to create an income in the high five and even six figures for individuals that posses the right talent and determination. If you are thinking about becoming a blogger, you should visit this article: Making Money Online - Is This Business For You?

In my opinion, blogging is the easiest of all the methods of making money online, at least for beginners. It is also a stepping stone for those wishing to move onto more difficult online, money-making methods.

Making Money On The Internet Rules
Update: It has now been almost four years that I have been making money on the internet and I can tell you that it’s probably the funnest way to make money ever. I have to say that I freaking love it!

How to Place Google Ads

Another important policy is the limit of placing Google Ads on each of your page. You are allowed to place a maximum of three (3) Ad units, one (1) Link unit and two (2) Adsense for search on each of your page. If you exceed the limit on your page, excess Google Ads will be displayed as blank or whitespace. That will not be a good view in your blog or web site.
Prohibited Adsense Clicks and Impressions

You must also know that Adsense program prohibits to encourage your visitors to click on Google Ads. Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on your Google ads is strictly prohibited. These include but not limited to the following:
