A well over-due update

You'll have probably noticed that there was a barren spell of blogging here, that's because I decided that there were so many money making opportunities out there online that I had to prioritise. In my hunt to make money online, I ended up bombarding myself with ideas and seemed to have little focus. I decided to get rid of the lower earners, one of which was actually this blog.

Later this month, I decided to check my adsense account and noticed that it was flying high - without doing anything this blog and my music blog http://www.jungleofjohns.blogspot.com had earnt me $90, perhaps I'd given up too soon. If I'd been putting care and attention into my blog during that time, I could easily be earning a nice daily sum at the moment.

You'll also have noticed that I have removed the links to the paid 2 click websites, bux.to simply wasn't earning enough for me and that was the best paid website, they claimed to have paid me out $19.00 - I applied for the money in February and they paid me out in June, however it mysteriously never arrived in my alertpay account and they've never replied to e-mails. Having not done anything with it for a few months, I decided to check the account - there was about $79 in it, not bad for my initial outlay of $16 - I've contacted them once again about the missing money and also withdrawn my $79 out of the bux.to account - we'll see how long it takes to turn up, if it does at all, this time round.

Over the last couple of months, I have earned about £650 on dooyoo and think I have hopefully mastered the best way of earning money on there. People tend to take themselves rather seriously on there, it becomes some people's lives and they're not too keen on people who post too regularly, however as long as you do a medium sized review full of your own content, try to keep it concise and effective and rate plenty of other users, then you can make quite a bit each day.

I've earnt about £300 on the travel website igougo.com - many of the reviews were simply used on dooyoo as well. They pay in Amazon vouchers which can be used to buy things on Amazon or sold on e-bay.

Ciao.com and ciao.co.uk are barely worth the effort, the beta site is a bit awkward and the pay is low but I basically just copy and paste my other reviews over from dooyoo now and again and this brings in a tidy sum of around £10-£20 a month. Slicethepie has brought me in around £300 but the current pay is a bit lower than it previously was.

Along with the paid to click websites, Shareapic is another website that I gave up on, there's a lot of money to be made online and it's better to focus your time on the profitable ones.

Oh and as for the experimental diets - it's fair to say I gave up!

Save Money with Good Flight Deals

There are a plethora of search engines out there which can be used to find cheap deals, they often go straight for the direct choices though or in some cases leave out valuable budget airlines. A lot of money can be saved by spending a couple of hours, or in some cases a full day in the airport.

I've set up a blog: wwww.bargainconnections.com which picks out a handful of the best deals on offer and the best ways of getting to a chosen destination with cheap airlines or cheap offers. Be sure to pop along for a visit, if you subscribe to the feed - you'll come across some great offers.

Scam of the day! Superprofits.biz

Checking my e-mails, I came across a google ad for "Paid To Type Ads
Receive $2000-$8000 weekly. Do simple part time online jobs." by Superprofits.biz. Applying the "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is" method, I decided to click on it, see what it was offering and google the site with the word scam next to it.

Basically they claim to be paying $5.00 for you to send out an e-mail to a certain address, why anyone would do that when they could hire someone to do it as a job on a monthly wage is beyond me. The fact is, no one in their right mind would do that and there's a few unhappy bunnies over the net complaining about it, what's more is you have to pay $50 to sign up. A definite scam, stay away!

If only everyday was a weekend

I've seen a dramatic difference in visits during the weekend than on weekdays, I'm not sure if it's the hangovers of a Sunday which sends people on a hunt through random sites or the fact that they look at their bank account on a Sunday and witness the damage of Saturday's fun and seek a way to get it back but what's for sure is that Sunday has been my most profitable day through google ads since I began blogging.

I'm going to try a few things to see if I can re-create the weekend magic on weekdays and let you know what I come up with!

Adsense Channel Update

Well after less than a day the channel option on Adsense has really made a difference, whilst one day's results can hardly show a trend it has definitely given me food for thought. It turns out that the blogs I thought were making money, weren't and vice versa.

Adsense: How can you find out which blog or page is making money?

So you have a couple of blogs or websites all linked to the same adsense account? You want to find out where the revenue is coming from, perhaps to improve or dispose of a certain blog/page?

This is easy but it is something which has to be activated. Log in to your adsense account - go to channels and click on the "guide to using channels", when you are done with that then begin adding the URL's you want to monitor. You can add up to 200.
