Adsense - The Powerful Passive Income Generator

August 17, 2008 at 2:14 am · Filed under make moneys

Webmasters have a revolutionary new method of collecting income from their websites. Whereas in the past advertising revenue was reserved for those sites with large a coming and going of visitors, now even teenagers are making a quick buck with their online hobby blogs. People place adsense on their online family photo albums, their blogs and their business sites. The minimum you would get, even with a small amount of traffic, is for adsense to pay for your hosting costs.

Adsense revolutionized the world of paid advertising; banner advertising is based on the number of visitors you attract to your site, so the number of “banner impressions” dictate the revenue you receive. Google Adsense is quite different; it is the number of visitors that actually click on the advertising that determine how much you earn.

There is also a great disparity between payouts; because advertisers bid up the price for certain keywords, some ads pay more than others. As such, a site with few visitors but expensive keywords in their google ads can potentially still pull in a hefty payout.

Google really has taken the web by storm; attracted to passive income, more and more people are seriously capitalizing on their Google adsense advertising. Some of the highest earners manage to attract enough visitors to make a four figure monthly income, just from using adsense alone! This is not one of those get-rich-quick schemes and Google’s adsense success is largely thanks to the fact that Google already enjoyed a fantastic reputation before introducing the program. They are a publicly traded company with physical headquarters. This, and the fact that anyone can apply to use adsense for free, has caused millions of people to sign up. For google it was a smart move, because now they extend their presence to countless websites and generate millions of dollars in advertising revenue. People were never reluctant to sign up, because the program is free. Google benefits by more people using adsense, so offering it for free was the best thing they could do.

One of the driving forced behind the program are its relevance to each and every page on a website; the program picks up keywords appearing in the website copy and automatically displays relevant ads. This increases the chances of people clicking through, and the webmaster collecting more revenue.

People are leveraging their income by operating several websites and attempting to attract as many targeted visitors as possible; in many instances we can observe that people work hard at a site, then once it is established they can largely leave it alone, yet still collect significant checks.

A major concern for entrepreneurs was the danger of a competitors ads showing up on their site; thanks to the adsense feature where it only displays relevant advertising. However this problem was solved by offering webmasters the option of filtering out unwanted ads. They can submit the URL of the competing site in their account, and any ads from the website will be blocked.

Google recently came out with a new feature: small targeted keywords based on the site’s content are displayed; then as people click on those, a page opens showing a variety of pay-per-click ads based on that keyword. This gives webmasters the chance of displaying more advertising in less space.

Adsense also adds creditability to your website; the more focused the content, the better the ads will be and this encourages people to built high quality websites. These make the net a better place and generally provide a free service; site owners can afford to share their expertise or passions because they can receive indirect revenue’s. The visitor does not pay for the information; instead the advertisers do, making the website’s existence possible in the first place.

It is no surprise Google adsense is the most widely used form of advertising; they have created a program that is beneficial to both advertisers and users with their “no click no pay” mechanism, or more popularly called “pay-per-click”. Advertisers do not pay for ads that are not drawing visitors, and website owners are paid more for each click than they would if the system were based on the number of people viewing the ads, instead of clicking on them.

All in all Google adsense has developed itself into a powerful tool, used by large corporations and the kid next door. They have truly revolutionized how the web thinks about advertising and made the process more profitable for site owners, while less costly for advertisers.

Converting Customer Doubt Into Sales

August 16, 2008 at 5:26 am · Filed under make moneys

There is a specific problem that occurs in a great majority of sales. Whether you’re a salesman, marketer or copywriter it is not the largest problem you’ll have to overcome but it is big enough that if you don’t spot it for what it is, your sales conversions could stink. And stinky conversions equate directly to a dry bank account, which also stinks.

To carry the mystery on a bit further, this one thing alone can stop a good, about-to-happen sale right in its tracks. It can make an infinitely interested customer suddenly walk away. It is the one thing that makes salesmen scratch their heads and wonder, “Uh, what the hell just happened?” And it’s the one thing that makes marketers and copywriters crumble up version after version of ineffective sales copy.

We are, of course, talking about the dreaded four-letter word:

DOUBT

I know, I know. You astute readers surely know that “doubt” is not really a four-letter word. I’d remind you the “b” is silent, so it might as well be.

Salesmen have a tough job. They spend countless hours perfecting their sales pitches and copy, tweaking each word for effectiveness, interest and even rhythm. In a perfect world each tweak would put them one step closer to making their customers salivate, but the moment they begin to introduce their product they’re instead hit with suspicion.

They use words in their headlines like Greatest and Best, Clearer Skin and Happiness, Fame, Fortune and Rock Hard Abs. In return their potential customers reward them with a smooth blend of disbelief and skepticism, lightly shaken.

Why this is is beyond the purposes of this article, but the next installment will be about how this doubt can work in your favor and very easily.

The Problem With DxInOne Part One-The Great Crash of Summer 2005

August 14, 2008 at 4:24 pm · Filed under make moneys

Last spring in 2005, people across the planet were turning their attention to DxInOne, an online - offshore investment concern based on the tropical island of Vanatu. Although it had visions of other pursuits in the works, at the time DxInOne’s claim to fame was (and is) its role as an emerging e-currency broker.

Why the excitement?

Because people were able to realize tremendous growth in the DxInOne “portfolio” system. Deposits of, for example, $1,000 were growing to ten times that amount in only a couple of months. Not only was that true, but more importantly people were also cashing money out of the DxInOne system. Bigger players were able to move hundreds and thousands of dollars out of DxInOne on a near-daily basis.

These amounts always seemed to be far in excess of what these members had actually put into the system.

This went on for months. As an offshore entity, DxInOne didn’t have to disclose anything of substance regarding how they were able to accomplish this. The notion of taking $1,000 from an investor, and giving him back $5000 in payments over the next several months didn’t seem to make economic sense. But the gig was working. People really were getting paid.

As June hit the managers at DxInOne had begun to assume a near mythological status: they were seen by many as enigmatic geniuses who held their cards to their chest and made the seemingly impossible actually occur (which is to say they paid, and paid big).

Under these euphoric circumstances people signed up to DxInOne in droves. Numerous courses in how to learn the complex DxInOne system were plastered all over investment message boards. Everybody was getting involved, it seemed - even the Rich Jerk.

Why not, when a deposit of a few thousand could rapidly balloon into a hundred thousand or two? At this level the DxInOne system paid out dividends daily amounting to thousands of dollars. This was money that could be cashed out (in about 3 days) or reinvested to increase portfolio growth further increase one’s DxInOne portfolio balance.

An important point: this daily growth was regulated by the DxInOne managers, averaging .30% to .40% daily (or about ten to twelve percent monthly) during the Glory Days of winter - spring 2005. No one knew the formula the DxInOne demigods applied to determine the daily growth, but that was okay - they had, after all, become mythological beings.

But again, whatever the formula was it couldn’t have much to do with basic economic theory - that much was obvious to many. By extension, the DxInOne formula for daily growth was widely presumed to be more a reflection of their secretive business model than it was an indicator of normal market forces, namely supply and demand. Plainly put, you just can’t be giving out thousands in cash again and again to people for doing nothing, at least if if they only put in hundreds to begin with.

Then reality kicked in, which I shall hereinafter refer to as “The Great Crash of Summer 2005″. All of a sudden it was impossible to move money out of the system.

Curiously, the daily growth was only marginally affected. Accounts were still growing by about .20% a day during the worst of times, but soon the averages seemed to find their way back up to the .30% level. This is very robust growth, amounting to about ten percent a month. That kicks ass on just about everything, including the growth of mainland China’s economy.

Now think about this: How can a company grow its investors’ portfolios by 10% a month when it takes months to process an request for money?

Several answers come to mind. The most obvious is that this can happen because the portfolio growth has nothing to do with the actual health of the system: members can’t take their money out in a reasonable amount of time because there simply isn’t enough monetary supply to meet the demand for cash. We’ll return to this question later.

So, things with this company called DxInOne were going well, then there was a crash in the Summer of 2005 to whereby people couldn’t get any money out of the system.
This has been going on for about seven months now.

In fairness to DxInOne, an article like this should cast light on DxInOne’s overall vision as it is an ambitious one that could generate the long-awaited correction. In fact, 2006 will see the roll-out of several new business which will be integrated into the overall DxInOne “economy”. I will discuss these in a subsequent “Part” of this article, but for now I must address thornier matters.

In the next Part of this article I will discuss the thorniest matter: Why The Crash now threatens to completely erode members “Portfolio” balances.
