The simple checklist below will let you know if the affiliate program does indeed pay as promised.

Reputation – Contact the Better Business Bureau to know if there had been any complaints lodged against the affiliate program you’re interested in joining. Browse the Internet as well for websites that monitor performances of affiliate programs such as the Associate Programs website. Try contacting any affiliate you know who belongs to the specified program and hear firsthand how the program fares. Of course, you should always take what everyone says with a grain of salt unless complete proof is provided.

Paying Methods – It’s safer for you think badly of an affiliate program if it insists on using only one – and lesser known at that – payment processing method. The Internet is a big dangerous place, and it’s definitely foolish for them to expect everyone to be automatically amenable to their choice of payment processor. One good sign of an honest affiliate program is when it allows you to accept payment when and how you want to! Continue reading →

One of the simplest way to get the most out of the method of making money online via affiliate programs is to create a site that is designed to earn you from affiliate programs.

If you want to build a house that will please your bride, you’ll definitely consider her preferences and not just yours, won’t you? It’s the same when building a website if its main purpose is to profit from affiliate programs. You need to consider what e-merchants are looking for from an affiliate’s website.

Firstly, the content of your site must be related to the affiliate programs you’ve joined. It’s better to choose affiliate programs that fall under one product category to have an easier time creating valuable content for your website. If, for instance, you’re joining an affiliate program selling pet gear, your website should naturally be related to pets. Continue reading →

As I promised on my blog goals for June post, here are what readers can expect to be regularly posted on Flood of Dollars:

Make Money Online Blog of the Week (MMOBW)

This is where one fairly new blog (started not later than January 2007) which in some way or another help in informing people how to make money online are given the Flood of Dollars spotlight. 

This featured blog will have a backlink at the end of all the blog posts that Flood of Dollars will publish that whole week. This is similiar to getting free text link promotion for your blog. So if you have a blog or any blog that you know that meets the following requirements, you can either email floodofdollars (at) gmail (dot) com or leave a comment here so I can check if it’s a good candidate for this weekly feature.

- A blog started not later than January 2007

- Has posts mostly about ways to make money online

Just those two criteria.

Affiliate Program Tip of the Week

I don’t know until when I can consume all the tips out there that are available for affiliate program newbies like me. But it’s great to learn a thing or two weekly to improve your chances of earning from this one promising way of making money online, right? If I get to find people to interview about tips, you will definitely find them posted here on FOD.

I think this will be one great feature because I’m planning to make a small project out of it.

Feel free to send me some tips about the two feature projects if you have any thoughts.

Infoproducts can be books or e-books, articles, or videos that teach you something. It’s a bit easier to sell if you’re the author and a bit harder if you’re not. Here are a couple of tips to help you out if your situation coincides with the latter.

Test it yourself. There’s nothing as powerful and convincing as firsthand experience and testimonials. More importantly, critics would hard to refute your words since it’s all about how you experienced it.

Establish your credentials. People are more inclined to buy from you if they know you’re a good and trustworthy person with excellent qualifications.

Use your friends as test subjects. Have them pay for it if you can but if not then give away a few samples.

Their positive feedback can help you sell thrice as much in the end. Encourage them to fully and freely express their comments so that you can capture the essence of what they’re saying. Customers have a way of knowing when a person’s laying it a bit too thick, and that’s why you need to get only the pertinent parts of your friends’ raves.

Edith Yeung, a personality development writer and entrepreneur has compiled 53 ways to Make Money on the Internet.

However, she has divided them into four major categories for easier digestion:

1. Online Advertising

YPN, Clicksor, and Pheedo are some of the online ad networks that Edith Yeung highlighted. It definitely pays to have more options other than AdSense.

2. Affilate Marketing

Clickbank and Commission Junction are two of the most popular affiliate marketing services Edith has mentioned. I have noticed more referral programs that I’m not familiar with such as ShareaSale and Jellyfish. Will definitely try them out when I get the time.

Got an email today from Kristie T. about FusionCash, a get-paid-to-complete-offers service.

Here is straight from its FAQ list:

An offer is an advertiser’s way of gaining customers. An offer may be for a product or service, or merely for registering on a website. Each offer has different terms for completion, which are usually listed along with the offer description. If the offer does not have any “requirements” listed, you may assume that completion requires you to sign up and order the product or service offered.

It has a sign-up bonus of $5. Its offers’ payouts vary from cents to $25. It sends payout via PayPal and check delivery monthly. Like many get paid to complete offer services, it has an affiliate program, too, if you’re into these methods of making money online.

Aside from signing up for a Fusion Cash account, which won’t cost you a dime, the requirements to get started with Fusion Cash include:

1. An access to the Internet
2. A valid email address
3. You must be a US Citizen

The last requirement made me lose hope. But if you’re trying this GPTC service, or if you have any proof that FusionCash is a scam, feel free to inform me so I can get things straight here.

There are so many reasons why you should browse through forum boards and start posting what you can contribute to those forums’ content. Aside from the wide variety of information that you can get from these forums, you can make money from them, too.
