Online competitions can be really appealing to a lot of people – after all, they offer a great opportunity to potentially win brilliant prizes for only minimum effort. Thousands of people enter each competition, though, so if you are going to maximise your chances of success, it pays to enter lots of different competitions. This article looks at how you can decide which ones are worth entering and how you can manage your online competition activity.

Firstly, you need to decide how much effort you want to put into entering competitions. Do you just want to enter those that require you to fill in a few basic details in order to gain entry to a prize draw? Are you also going to enter competitions that require you to make something, write something or otherwise generate some content in order to be eligible? Are you going to do both? Deciding one way or the other doesn’t stop you from changing your mind later on, but it might help you decide which competitions you want to enter in the first place.

Next, you need to set about sourcing likely online competitions. The major newspapers often have prize draws, as do large retailers and other sites. It might be worth finding a central competition listings site that details current competitions you might like to enter. If you are unsure about the legitimacy of a competition website, then never give them your personal details as it is always better to be safe than sorry. You can normally tell a website is genuine because it will give detailed terms and conditions as well as contact details for the organisation running the competition – if you’re unsure, you could contact them to find out more.

It can also be a good idea to keep a record of all the competitions you have entered. Sometimes, they will have a relatively short closing date so you won’t have to wait long to find out whether you’ve won. Other competitions are open for longer and so it would pay you to keep a record of what you entered, when you entered it and when the closing date is so you can keep an eye out for any relevant emails. This is especially true of online competitions that require you to do something (such as writing or photography competitions) and if you’ve put a lot of effort into something, then it might be a good idea to follow it up with an email if you don’t hear anything.

You could also consider setting up your own competitions website. This would act as a central portal where you log details of current competitions and their requirements so other web users could take advantage of it. You could then sign up to affiliate programs or advertising schemes as a way of generating a bit of income from the site.

Overall, it’s unlikely you’ll make a huge amount of money from online competitions, but they are really fun and great to get involved with, so it’s definitely worth investigating to see what’s out there.

When it comes to making money writing articles, either as a full-time profession or for the purpose of making extra cash, the opportunities available in today’s world are plenty.  A few ways by which you can actually do this is through writing e-books, blogging, article marketing and freelance writing.  However, the writer can expect to get paid depending upon your writing skill and the word count.

Freelance writing may generally involve writing articles for those people who require content for blogs or web pages.  Article marketing involves the promotion of affiliate products by way of writing descriptive articles or reviews about them. In fact, an affiliate link will be included in order to track down the purchases done by your visitors. In turn, you will be making a commission out of these sales. Blogging can also be used for making money in many different ways. Writing e-books can also be quite profitable, provided proper research is done.

Writing articles for others

If you are a freelance writer on hire, typically, you will have to write articles on specific subjects based on your assignment.  Your client will be giving you certain instructions and the required briefing on the article such as content, scope, title and other finer details.  Or without much detail, you may just about be given a keyword on the topic to be written for producing an article of approximately 500 words.

Most of these writing jobs are meant for webmasters and internet marketers who always require some unique content to be displayed on their web pages or blogs. The requirement level varies widely between these various webmasters and internet marketers – while some might require really high quality content and might display a willingness to part with top money for the same, the others might just about be a little bit prepared for sacrificing quality over quantity, at a lower price, however, but might also require articles in bulk as well.

Whatever be the situation, one needs to meet up with certain crucial criteria for becoming a successful article writer.  First of all, you need to have a good flair for the language.  Secondly, you need to possess proper presentation skills. Thirdly, proper grammar is a crucial factor.  Fourthly, you need to have a clear understanding of the keyword density.   Fifthly, you should be able to deliver unique quality content.  Last but not least, one should be able to deliver his/her articles on time, keeping up with the schedule.

Getting paid for writing articles might as well fetch you a decent income.  But getting paid consistently for your articles takes some doing. Like consistency in writing on diversified topics with both quality and sufficient quantity.  And, the most important aspect of all, you should really enjoy your daily writing.  So,  be it current affairs or sports or a generic topic – it could be just about anything – right from politics to knitting a sweater or from China to Chihuahua or from Madras to Manhattan – well, the ultimate secret is cultivating interest for the reader by creating interesting content and captivating their attention.

With more and more businesses adopting a blog platform instead of a website to manage their company’s internet presence, they all too easily can become a bullhorn for company announcements instead of an interface between the company and the consumers. Here are a few easy ways to turn your business blog into a tool to better understand your consumers.

Online Survey Software

Building online survey software into your blog is usually as simple as adding the correct code to the correct spot, but despite its simplicity, the results can be hugely important to a business. Specific and targeted questions can be asked of visitors to obtain important information. In this way you’re not bombarding your customers with lengthy surveys, just short, pointed questions whose results can be used to alter or modify existing practices, services and products.

Tracking Visits

When building your blog, add a search box that is clearly visible above the fold, on each blog page. Use this box to search and track what your visitors and customers are looking for. This information is invaluable and may provide great insight into areas that you’re perhaps not currently servicing or providing but ought to be based on demand.

Content and Google Ranking

Using tools like Google Keywords will help you determine which applicable keywords should be used in your articles to drive your page ranking. SEO maximization and intelligent content will allow your site to be ranked higher, resulting in an increase in organic traffic. This way you can capture more market share and increase your customer base. Google Analytics will help you analyze where your visitors are coming from and which keywords they’re using to stumble upon your site. All of this is very important data to the growth of a business and is easy to use from a blog platform.

Blog Design

There is a myriad of free and inexpensive tools available on the internet that interface with your blog to perform a variety of tasks. One such tool is invaluable to business blogs: ClickTale. This tool will give you detailed information on what visitors are doing when they visit your blog. It will show scrolling behavior, where they click or hesitate to click, how quickly they jump from page to page, and how they interact with links, fields and buttons. All of this information can be used to tailor your blog to your customer base.

Business blogs no longer need to be a one-way portal of information or delivering content to readers. Today’s blogs are a two-way street; with the proper tools and analysis of the data, the blog owner can acquire a good understanding of their customers and even modify the site to make it more accessible and friendly to the particular demographic of people visiting their site. Today’s blog savvy reader wants pertinent information in a blog that is easy to navigate, and only then will they reward you with loyalty and become a customer. In order to get to that place you need to be smart and utilize these tips to turn your business blog into a tool to better understand your customers.

These days it seems as if one cannot get through a single day without coming across the term “CMS” or “Content Management System” at least once on the internet or even on TV. There has been a lot of hype on this subject, and perhaps it is time to demystify the whole deal for those who are new to it.

CMS at its most basic level is a program that allows a user to edit and manage their website text, graphics and photos. There are of course much more advanced solutions that go far beyond this, but on a basic level, this is the thread that binds all types of CMS.

Most CMS available online are “open source projects”, which come with their own set of pros and cons. On the plus side, this is freeware which is going to cost you nothing to buy, and you have at your disposal the services of an expert community all patching the system and building your free website. On the negative side, support can be hard to come by in smaller open source projects. As long as you make sure you install a very popular CMS, you should be fine. The open platform and large selection of third party software add-ons make it quick and affordable to add new functionality and fresh bells and whistles to your website. Some of these options include forums, auctions, blogs, ecommerce, photo galleries and so on.

Some big-name CMS services include WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, Dot Net Nuke, Google Blogger and Silver CMS.

If you need something more brand or product-specific, you will need to find a CMS specifically tailored for your industry. For example, many real estate brokers have used template solutions from Real Pro Agent Systems, Advanced Access Real Estate Systems and homes.com.

Some caveats to keep in mind when you choose a CMS:

CMS website applications are not completely fool proof. They are not always easy to use, especially for people who are not tech savvy. You may want to consider hiring a web development expert to do your website maintenance for you in addition to managing your CMS. Unless you use the tools on the CMS every day, there will always be some confusion and frustration, and even the experts often admit that what they do with CMS produces errors more often than they would like. In such a situation, it is always best to rely on someone who knows their way around the code and other aspects of working with CMS.

Disclosing the formula of Adsense through which a publisher can calculate how much they can earn through Adsense. This formula is applicable for all type of publishers – either you are using the Adsense for the first time or you are a big publishers like Shoemoney! The formula is very simple but I would suggest you to become an Adsense publisher to make the formula work best and exact for you. It has been produced by taking the case of 20 blogs including some big and some new blogs, I guarantee it would work for you too.

Let’s see the formula of Adsense for calculating your earning:

Number of visitors per day X 30 X CTR X EPC = Adsense EARNING FOR YOUR MONTH!

OR

Total Number of visitors per month X CTR X EPC = Adsense EARNING!

CTR = Click Through Rate (Percent of visitors from total, clicking the Adsense ads)

EPC = Earning per click (Money which get into account when an ad is clicked for once)

Through formula it is clear that mostly earning through Adsense depend upon three factors :

• Total Visitors Per month – That’s why it is said older blogs earn more from Adsense than newer once because of this factor.
• CTR – Rate of click mainly depend upon the placement and customization of Adsense ads. In my opinion Adsense ads work best when it is placed below the title of posts, but as we know cases are different for different blogs so it doesn’t mean what worked for a blogger will also work for you. So learn placement and customization tricks to increase your CTR.
• EPC – Based on what type of keyword you are using and what advertisers are paying to google, as higher the google is getting means higher you will earn. You can search many higher paying Adsense keyword on net, I would suggest you to take a look on keywordcountry.

Let’s see some examples how Adsense formula works to help you estimating your Adsense earning:

Taking the case of new bloggers :

• Assuming, Total Visitors per day = 500 visitors, CTR = 3%, EPC = $0.05 (5 cent).

Adsense Earning in 1month = 500 X 30 X 3/100 X 0.05 = $22.5!

• Assuming, Total Visitors per day = 1000 visitors, CTR = 2%, EPC = $0.08 (8 cent).

Adsense Earning in 1month = 1000 X 30 X 2/100 X 0.08 = $48!

Taking the case of well developed bloggers :

• Assuming, Total Visitors per day =6000 visitors, CTR = 3%, EPC = $0.10.

Adsense Earning in 1month = 6000 X 30 X 3/100 X 0.10 = $540!

• Assuming, Total Visitors per day =10000 visitors, CTR = 2.5%, EPC = $0.12.

Adsense Earning in 1month = 10000 X 30 X 25/1000 X 0.12 = $900!

So, I think you have now understood how this formula works. Now what you are waiting for start calculating your earning and let us know is Adsense formula working correct for you? leave your comments below!

We have stepped into the world of online business because of the internet’s rising popularity and so many flourishing e-commerce websites. And due to this competitive era it becomes all the more essential to focus on search engine optimization and get the highest rank in the search engines. But the main question arises, how it is possible and what steps one can take to generate and increase the desired traffic to the website. A simple answer to this excellent and right question is to apply and exercise two major tools – SEO or Search Engine Optimization and SEM or Search Engine Marketing.

SEO or Search Engine Optimization is a fantastic way to optimize your website with certain techniques in order to place it among the few top websites and when the visitor search their query on the internet or search engine like Google they can capture your website immediately.

On the contrary SEM or Search Engine Marketing is broader in scope or marketing scheme and covers SEO procedures too. And once both the processes are enforced efficiently, your website will surely get a right promotion in the market. Implementing marketing strategies involves various objectives and theories related to market that actually assists in driving the traffic to your website. Not only visitors get the chance to locate your site easily but quality traffic is also attracted towards your website.

Each online business owner’s main aim is to rank higher in the search engine ranking pages. To rank high on search engines simply means that the features engraved in your website are up to the mark and so your website stands among the top sites of the search engine. Whenever an internet user makes a query on search engine there are search engine robots that look for relevant keywords and respond to the entered query. So whenever a search is made these robots immediately start exploring the relevant sites that are built on the specific keywords typed in the query. And that’s the reason why one needs to implement various search engine marketing strategies in order to generate traffic and rank on top in the SERP. SEO and SEM are the main components of the marketing strategies and once you apply them while creating your website, without a doubt your business will touch the success with distinctive qualities.

The internet universe is crafted with indefinite number of great and fantastic websites and each one is trying to get that highest place in the online marketing world. But still the hard fact remains that not all websites are capable enough to generate traffic plus visitors. And nobody can deny the fact that the real success will only be with the people who truly work on their SEO and SEM strategies. These strategies help in flourishing the online business and can even let the owners achieve new heights of image building. SERP brings only the best marketed websites on top and even assists in determining the effectiveness of these strategies. The top ten websites on any of the Search Engine Ranking Pages or SERP are said to be the best and very informative sites and the users prefer them the most to resolve their queries. As a result the visitors are less keen to visit and browse the web pages sorted with low ranks.

Search Engine Marketing is the finest and most beneficial way to get in the eyes of internet users. The users rely a lot on these sites and the trust is automatically inlayed when your website ranks high on SERP. If you wish to implement these marketing strategies, nothing can come in the way of your success with quality traffic and great customers.

How many times you’ve heard people promising you “ways to make millions with little effort, working from home in your pajamas?” Claims like these are all over the place. The truth is, well…different. Here are some methods of making money that will either a) make you very little money or b) make you no money at all.

1. Blogging For The Sake of Blogging

Stay-at-home moms fall for this often. The basic promise is: You can write on whatever you want and make money! Yes, if you stumble on some profitable niche you will make money! If you write about finance, you’re probably going to make some case. However, if you write about your life and your thoughts, then don’t expect much money. People usually want to read auto-biographies, but only by celebrities.

Don’t get me wrong; blogging works and makes serious money for some people. They question I would ask is, however, what percentage? You’ve probably heard about the statistic that only 10% of products succeed. In reality, having your own product gives you most control and the smallest chances to fail. Yet, according to this statistic, your chances are 10%! Now, imagine what the percentage would be for blogging. Maybe 2%? Less than 1%?

Solution: First, define on WHAT you are going to write about and research whether there are buyers in that market. Eventually, you’ll want to promote some products there. Want to write about dog training? This may be a good choice because there are a lot of products on that market out there.

You also might want to eventually sell your own info-product after a while…for example, I’ve been writing for a while, publishing posts like this one on people search engines and soon plan to also write an e-book on this topic and sell it.

Anyway, don’t expect to make money if you blog for the sake of blogging. Pleasure and freedom? Yes. But money, not really.

2. PTC (Paid to Click) Programs

Bux.to, NeoBux, you name it…there are a lot of programs out there promising to help you make money by just clicking on ads! Now, the truth is, yes, you CAN make money via those programs. The twist is, the best people there make max. $200 a month. That’s WITH A LOT OF WORK. Most people don’t make more than $10 per month.

The ironic thing here is, those people (doing PTC) probably spend the same time clicking on ads that someone would spend on creating his own product or doing affiliate marketing…and make 10x more.

Think about it…the web is huge. If PTC programs worked really well then wouldn’t everyone do it? It’s supply & demand 101, the easier something is to start with, the less money you’ll generally make. Read this section of Barriers to entry by Michael Porter. High barriers to entry = more profit, low barriers to entry = less profit. Now, I’m not saying you should go to markets with a REALLY high barrier to entry, you can go into lower ones, work continuously and make stable profit.

I’m just saying to avoid programs which are too good to be true. This is one of them.

3. PTS (Paid to Surf), PTV (Paid to View) and Other “Paid to X” Programs

How many times you’ve heard marketing messages like: Just install this toolbar and surf…you’ll make money while you’re browsing! Again, too good to be true. Or…watch your favorite movies and get paid! Again, too good to be true.

People will always have this ‘get rich quick’ fantasy. That’s why lotteries exist. That’s why casinos and betting schemes prosper. And that’s why these ‘paid to X’ programs will never cease to exist. But you don’t have to be a part of them.

4. Nothing Works!

This kind of mindset also guarantees you’ll never make money If you have already tried and been disappointed over and over again by those get rich quick schemes, then you’ll probably go to the other extreme and say: Well I have to be innovative (like Google, Amazon and so on) and need a big investment to make money online, I can never make money as the ‘little guy’ online. This is FAR from the truth.

This blog, for example, offers a lot of reliable methods for making money. Here are some:

- Starting to write on a niche that makes money and putting AdSense on your site.

- Doing affiliate marketing

- Creating your own info product (e-book, online course)

- Paid traffic brokering via affiliate marketing (you take an affiliate product and promote it by buying traffic)

- Freelancing

- Offering consulting services for something you’re good at

Now, those things are not guaranteed to make you $$$$$ but they’re far better from the above methods.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

If you’re a blogger, you’ll probably have pretty strong feelings about your blog. You know what you want- It’s getting it right that’s the hard bit. If you’re writing a blog about a subject like computer repairs, you may think that your chances for writing anything fun are pretty limited. Wrong. You can spice up and make any subject fun and interesting, for you as well as your readers.

Blogs can be as much fun as you want

Some subjects are pretty dry. It’s hard to turn the deep technical stuff into fun, particularly if you don’t try. The fact is that fun is a better information source. It motivates readers and it also adds some insights.

Case in point- There’s a whole vein of humor and definite fun in IT subjects, some of which can be downright grim if you do them without humanizing them.

This is a tale of woe from IT-Land:

“We had a code problem. The accounts database kept crashing, and we kept getting told to debug an ancient code which none of us had ever seen until we started working there. This code would break down if someone turned on a light. At one stage it was taking in data and deleting it simultaneously. We had some poor guy literally writing down the accounts data all day with pen and paper so he could enter it when we got the system running again.

We didn’t know what to do. The manager kept telling us to fix it, whatever it was, and didn’t contribute anything else. The actual database itself was practically prehistoric. It could actually crash before it started running. It wouldn’t run after we’d done every line three times. About 3 in the morning, we went over to get a cup of coffee and some food. In the shop was an arcade game, one of those shooter things. We played that for a while, and I swear we both had the same idea at the same time.

We went back and dug through the staff room, and found a game like the game in the shop. We dug out the database code, copied it, and ran it on the accounts database. We never had a problem, after that.”

If you’re writing for people that do  computer support for a living, you’ll find that weird tales and impure thoughts in the IT department aren’t all that uncommon. Code writers get driven up the wall on an hourly basis by things like this. If you’re writing to pro code writers, they’ll get it, in context, and enjoy it. Interest levels dictate learning and communication levels.

Interesting blogs get read

In advertising, the headers are the “grabbers”, and they’re designed to get attention and interest.

Compare these headers:

Collecting Fords               Releasing A Ford Mustang Back Into The Wild

Hairstyle Tips                  Hairstyles for Mad Women

WordPress Themes           WordPress Breakout

There’s no trickery. The interest is practically removed by the titles on the left, and unavoidably created in the ones on the right. If Shakespeare wrote a blog with the titles on the left, he’d be lucky to get readers.

All writers write better when they’re having fun. Open up, and have a ball!

Website copy is extremely important, so it makes sense that the copywriting you do for your site should be considered carefully. There are certain things you need to do and make sure of as you write in order to know that your site’s content will not only please your visitors, but the search engines as well.

Keywords – Too Important to Overlook

It is very easy to forgo any sort of keyword research, but this is a great way to shoot yourself in the foot. Your keywords are what are going to bring visitors to your site. So without them you may as well not even have a site.

Never assume that you know what keywords that your potential customers are going to be looking for. Think up some words and phrases that you think are relevant, and then run them through a keyword search tool. This will give you a wide range of words, and should also tell you just how accurate your predictions were.

During your search you may come across some words that have a high search rating, yet you didn’t think of them. For example, just by switching a couple words around you might be able to get a lot more traffic each day. Also, leaving common misspellings out of your site’s description can keep people from finding you. Just imagine all the traffic you could lose this way.

There are free tools that you can use to find good keywords, so there is really no excuse for not performing this crucial step. Take a few minutes and find out how people are really searching for what you offer.

Placing Your Keywords Properly

Where you use your keywords is almost as important as which keywords you choose. Different people have different opinions on where to put keywords, but it is generally accepted that using them in headlines or sub-headers is a good idea. Also, putting them in the first and last paragraphs will help the search engines find your keywords and key phrases readily.

Keyword Density and Word-count

Keyword density is something else that people don’t always agree on. Some say that you should only use a couple keywords per page, others say you should stuff as many keywords as possible into your site.

It can be confidently said that keyword stuffing has been shown to be a very poor idea, and keyword experts warn against it. Search engines are now being programmed to pick up if a site has too many keywords, and if visitors were to see your site it would seem “spammy.” So moderation is important.

Generally, somewhere between 1% and 3% is what is recommended. This gives the search engines plenty to pick up on, but makes it easy for people to read your content smoothly.

This brings up the subject of word count. 250 words is normally the minimum that a page should have. This gives you room to actually make some good points as well as getting your keywords in a few times without cluttering the text. 250 words really isn’t very much, so this is easy to attain, even for those who don’t enjoy writing.

Know You Have Good Copy

When you are running a website, your content should not be underestimated. It is your lifeline to your customers, and treating it as anything less can spell failure for your site. Make sure that your copy has good grammar and spelling, and that it flows nicely. Finally, keep an eye on your keywords and their density. This will make your site enjoyable to visit, search engine friendly, and more likely to make you money.
