Social Networking


Social networking sites are huge right now and ripe for you to make money online from. They are a part of what is being called web 2.0. Sites like Myspace, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and others have thousands even millions of members, members you can market to. Most of these sites have groups or clubs you can become a member of and sneak your sales pitch into.

YouTube is a great to make money online because people love to watch videos. Reading about something is little work, but having that same information given as a video makes it more appealing. You just set back and let the person who made the video feed you the information. I would say that if given the same information in two forms, one that has to be read and one that can be watched on a video, I would gamble that the majority of people would rather watch the video.

So knowing that you could use YouTube or some other video site to make a video telling about your product, service, newsletter or affiliate program and leave some way for the watchers to contact you at the end of the video.

Sites like Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Yuwie and others sites like these are great for networking with loads of people interested in certain niches making it easy to have highly targeted audiences for your niche items. These also have clubs and groups that are niche oriented making them a goldmine for the niche marketer.

If you are doing any kind of online marketing you are really missing out on a win fall if you’re not utilizing the power of social networking sites to make money online.

Plastic Money


Plastic money is the smartest way of prepaid credit. It offers the ease of easy shopping. But becomes the worst financial demon if used carelessly. The worst thing regarding the usage pattern of plastic money is using it as a borrowing tool.

The monthly credit statement of plastic money mentions the maximum cash limit. That is the extent to which the card user could withdraw cash. But the worrying part of the story is the interest rates. It’s actually a very expensive proposition to withdraw cash as the interest rates are calculated on monthly basis and is around 40% per annum.

Usually, the companies dealing with plastic money mention the interest rate as a percentage per month which typically varies between 2.7 and 2.85% . As the payable interest rate is compounded monthly, the effective annual rate of interest tends to be near about 38 to 40% per annum. These companies also charge the same interest rates for cash withdrawals made through the card and for rolling over balances. But if the card user pays the entire amount on due date, he gets around 30-45 days of interest free credit.

Cash withdrawals from credit card attracts an additional withdrawal fee. This extra charge falls in the range of 3-3.5% of the withdrawn cash and is added along with the interest rate to the bill. Therefore, unless the card user has emergency needs, it is not wise to withdraw cash . In such situation personal loan is a better option. The card user should look at this option as the last resort to meet the needs. If it’s a planned expenditure and he does not have sufficient liquidity then a personal loan should be taken as a viable alternative.

Every credit card statement has a separate billing date. For example, if the payment is due on March 15 then the bill is dated around February 27. So if the card user wants to purchase anything on February 28 or later, that payment would be due only on 15th April. In this case, the customer gets some extra time to cough up that money to pay off the dues. If the card user is unable to pay the outstanding amount with in this period, then the credit card company charges a month rate of 2.95% of the total amount.

What Is PPC Advertising?


The first step of website creation is to find out what keywords it is going to serve. The keywords of the website are those words that best describe the purpose of the website and shall be extensively searched for in the search engine. When a user wants to look for a relevant website in the search engines he will either type the name or URL of the website or will type the most relevant keyword that is closest to the website. For example, if we are looking for a shoe repairing website, well are most likely to type shoe shops or shoe repair shop (location).

This is a tried tested and a successful technique which is also utilized in pay per click advertising. PPC(Pay Per Click) advertising is the paid online marketing and advertising technique which makes use of keywords for ranking the websites in the search engines. When a website is created it is optimized for certain keywords in the meta tags, alt tags, titles and also the web page content. These keywords are also known as the primary keywords and are considered to be the most important set of words in the website.

PPC Advertising works on the bidding technique. Websites bid on the most relevant keyword for their website which is quite searchable and popular amongst visitors too. A trick here is to index your keyword not for high demand keywords, but for comparatively lower ranking keywords that attract a considerable amount of traffic. The reason for this is that the high demand keywords are extremely competitive and it will be difficult to maintain ranking for these keywords. But on the other hand, if you select a comparatively lower ranking keyword, the chances of your ranking for the keyword becomes easier and at the same time, your ppc advertising will be more successful than it would have been for the top keyword, where it will be more difficult for you to rank and sustain.

An important thing in PPC Advertising is that your website should also be optimized for the keywords that are being ranked in the search engine so that when the readers go through your website, they will be able to connect with the content in the site.
