How many hours a week do you spend on your Facebook sharing
YouTube videos, crazy cat photos, and sending pics to Aunt Martha
of new baby?
Some of you out there, the time frame is very short or limited for
whatever reasons.
For others, you are just as much a twitter or Facebook junkie if there
ever was one. ;)
Well now you can earn a little bit of money on autopilot while doing the
everyday routine of checking out your social sites, and bring some good
and interesting up to date content to your viewers.
It hardly takes anything at all, just set up this quick method.
It's the simplest way you can monetize your Twitter, Facebook,
or Linkedin to start earning cash, even while your asleep.
An hour's worth or so of work and you can be up and running.
It's fast, easy, and holds the potential for growth, as you can repeat this
process as many times as you want.
Here's how...
Unless you already have a Twitter or Facebook account with a hefty following,
you may choose to set up a brand new account to try this as an experiment.
(like I did... )
The only downfall to doing it this way are the gains will take a little while longer
before they start being noticeable to you. This is another reason why making 3
or 4 social accounts and doing this with each of them is a great idea.
Initially your hits will continue to raise as your audience reaches further out.
1. First you have to sign up with one, or all three sites if you want
to make money from them all.
Go To:
Twitter
Go To:
Facebook
Go To:
Linkedin
This will probably take you about 20 minutes or so to set up your accounts
and verify them with your email. Probably another 5 minutes adding a picture
to each of them. This way people don't consider you to just be inactive or
a bot. So it is important. Also, make sure your accounts have a general feel
for what your content is that your going to post. For example people will
generally tend follow someone posting joke feeds named JokesoftheDay
rather than billybob65.
So just get creative with it, do a bit of searching to see whats already out
there to get some ideas. Look up other people's accounts with high in
the thousands range for followers. This is where you want to get to with
your posting.
2. Now, decide on some kind of niche or group of people you are trying
to reach, or target your paid links towards.
Funny pictures, most viewed youtube videos, quotes of the day, business tips, news,
or even adult pictures and videos if you set your social accounts up right.
That can actually be a $$$ maker if you do it correctly.
Though i'd recommend if you plan on using this method for porn that you
keep it to Twitter.
This is for 2 reasons:
1. Twitter lets you easily set your profile to mature content posts in order to
keep the younger generation of twitter users away from your links.
2. Twitter is text posting for these paid links.
Text posting also means you'll get a ton of more clicks when people want to
view the link because of an enticing title or description.
Whatever kind of following you choose try to think of digital information
or articles that are going to be eye catching to the people who are following
you.
3. Alright, now that you have your social profiles in place to start
posting, we're on to the next step which is turning your posts into profit.
To do this we need to go set up an account at: adf.ly
The premise of this site is to shrink URL's from something big like:
www.blahlahblahblahblahblah.com
into something more manageable like:
http://adf.ly/MEzsk
Which makes it easier to have a title with description on your posts without
having to worry about how many characters your allowed to use. Of course
it's almost exacty the same thing as using other link shrinkers like Tinyurl.
But Tinyurl doesn't pay for traffic.
And that's just not any fun now is it...
Before i start getting into the "how to auto dump these links from a feed"
portion of things, I'll give you the best advice on how to use adfly and always
get clicks.
This is for those who have never used or seen it work.
Adfly has two types of shrink methods. One adds a video advertisement before
the page URL that was shrunk, or they can also be set as banner bar which
is the less invasive approach but you make slightly less money.
For this kind of method using adfly with RSS feeds
always,
always,
always
use the shorter banner version.
This is because if someone clicks on your link, has to go through a long
advertisement or wait time, or something that looks like spam, there is a good
chance they won't be paying attention to anything else you post ever again.
Which we most definately want to avoid...
Adfly allows up to to 5 clicks from the same unique IP address a day,
so in initially this means each one of your followers can click up to 5 of your
links a day that you'll be paid for.
So even though it might be enticing to go with the longer advertisements to
generate more money faster, the one that is really going to bring cash flow to you,
is the short link. Save the long ads for links to downloads or things people won't
have as much of a problem with it. This is the digital age, people want it now.
I'll show you exactly what I mean...
These are two tester links to www.google.com you can click to check out the
ads adfly uses, and also to see wait time for each type of advertisement.
Also noted, yes I am getting money every time these two links are clicked!
Video Ads - Long
Banner Ads - Short
As you can see, the shorter one is easy to click the top bar in the right corner
skip the ad if they choose to and proceed onto Google without too much clutter.
But this gives you an exact idea of what your readers will have to go through.
So you have to think like they do.
"Less is more..." to the general population, and less "in your face" ads will certainly
mean more for you in gaining the trust of your followers, as well as profit.
Trust the Net Nerd on this one...
