Earn Money Telling What You Like

I stumbled upon an interesting new site the other day called MyLikes. It’s essentially a way to make money through referring sites that you like. You can be paid for posting the “likes” on your Twitter, blog, or other places. For most of the campaigns, you get paid per the number of people who click on your links. What’s nice is that you can choose from a wide variety of sites to refer, including some nice contests. You don’t have to refer anything that you do not truly like. I’ve only done a couple so far (mainly for contests) but have made a few extra bucks through it.

There are a few things that I am still unsure about and working through. It looks like you get paid for referrals, but only if those referrals have over 500 Twitter followers (which most people do not). You put in a PayPal account to get paid (and I have seen other people report getting paid), but I do not know what the minimum is to get paid. As I figure more of this out, I will definitely post about it! (Edited: I found out that you get paid automatically every Friday that your balance is at least $2)

All Voices Seeking Contributors

I know a lot of people who make money online. Legitimately. From the people who make a little extra spending money through survey sites to the big players who earn their income through affiiate marketing, there is a lot of money to be made. Part of the problem is that if you get into a site too late, you may not have the chance to earn as much as people who got in early.

I heard of a new site today called All Voices that is looking for contributors. From what I can tell, you basically write articles on their site and get paid based on the number of people who read your articles. That’s a simple version. The real details involve the number of articles you write, how many people become a “fan” of your work, etc.

It’s an interesting concept. If you are the least bit interested and have any desire to write for money, you should try it out. It doesn’t cost anything to sign up, so you have nothing to lose. If you do sign up and write anything, come back here and leave a comment so that we can go check you out!

Mom Hits Affiliate Summit

I’ve just returned from Affiliate Summit and am already making plans for Affiliate Summit East 2009 in New York! It will take place August 9-11 at the New York Hilton. If you are a mom who is trying to make money blogging or through internet marketing, attending Affiliate Summit is a MUST. Not only will you connect with merchants but you will learn so much. By biggest take-aways from Affiliate Summit West were new contacts, search engine optimization help, and fabulous ideas about how to drive more traffic to my sites.

Do you need a platinum pass for Affiliate Summit? Maybe not if you just want to hit the exhibit hall to get information. But if you are looking to network, meeting up with people at breakfast and lunch is HUGE! I had an opportunity to have meals with some very important people in the industry, and I just know that I will see results from it.

If you have never been to an Affiliate Summit, you should absolutely investigate the possibility of attending. Affiliate Summit turned my websites from a hobby into a small business. If you book now, you will even get an early bird discount!
