Just enter making money online in google and you will find thousands and thousands of experts willing to tell you how to do it. Some make money by charging you a small fee for an ebook that will tell you stuff you can figure out for free if inclined to spend a little more time trawling through the nonesense that most bloggers write.

I will tell you the truth. You won't make much money online unless you can drive traffic to your site and the internet is hugely competitive these days so you better have something worth saying! Driving traffic takes time and effort and involves simple marketing techniques to get your site ranked on search engines and obtain tons of links back to your site.

When it comes to making money there are also lots of schemes, affiliate programs and so on but frankly it is all about google ads. Its about the only program that really works and it needs traffic and lots of it to pay anything worth having.

The only other program that makes money is TNX - see my articleson it for that.

Good lukc!

It's funny but after over two years of making very little cash I have been telling you all about TNX. I am now making more than $100 a month and counting - steady and reliable income - available via paypal too. So what are you all waiting for - get signed up now! Use the link below and do be my affiliate - it costs you nothing but makes me a few more bucks - a good reward for showing you how to make some easy cash right????

I have been at this game for almost 12-months and I barely make a penny. Anything I try doesn't appear to really generated very much. Searching around the web I find the same old nonsense on all the make money blogging blogs - it is nonsense too. You have to have traffic. It is that simple. Affiliate programs - forget it. Everyone strips out your affiliate code before signing up anyway.

So - if you make money how do you do it? Why not leave a comment here on how you make money and share your tips and trick with the rest of us?

I saw a Google ad yesterday that caught my eye it was a 'loser' who wanted to raise a million dollars by year end and he was doing it by begging for the money. I thought to myself 'outrageous' but does it work? I honestly don't know if begging works but something so outrageous as to set a public begging target of a million dollars just might attract a few folks to donate - who knows?

All of my blogs have a begging message on them. It says if you liked this post why not buy me a beer? or similar. That message has been there from day one and has been seen hundreds of thousands of times by visitors to the blogs but I have yet to have anyone at all buy me a beer. I think that particular approach to begging for money worked when it was first used by someone but now - well its old hat.

I think begging for money online can work but only when it is original and outrageous enough for people to think wow! amazing! Let's donate some money. For the rest of the time I really don't think begging works at all.

I suppose at the end of the day, if we want to make money, we still have to earn it?

Until a few weeks ago, I never bothered with cloaking affiliate links. I mean why would I? Anyone signing up for a program and carrying my links (ie giving me some type of refferal fee or earnings) isn't penalized for it. They don't lose anything be being my affiliate.

Now, its easy to cheat someone of their affiliate earnings. When you hit an embedded url you just delete the last bit that contains the affiliate id and so doing, you stop them getting a referral fee or whatever. Again, why would anyone do that? Except through sheer bloody mindedness right?

Well, a few weeks ago, I embedded some of my affiliate links using a cloaking program available of the internet for free. It just mkeans that when someone clicks on the affiliate program link, they don't see the affiliate code there and so there is nothing to delete to stop me getting my fee or reward for referring you. I didn't code all the links on the site like that - just a few...just to see how YOU behave.

Here is another interesting service and way to make some cash - TNX. You can buy and sell links with this service. It uses points but points have a cash value and can be earned or used. Earned points can be cashed out.

Not only is this a great way to promote your own blog cost effectively but its a good way to generate some extra revenue from your blog by being a publisher. It has a good affiliate program too.
