This is a must, and I can’t believe I have never thought to post about it prior to this…even though I used to mention it frequently on my LIVE show…it is PINGING your blogs. Either you know how or you don’t…and if you don’t – you MUST! Now this is really easy to do and you can even set it on auto pilot so that you don’t have to remember if you wish ; )
How and when to start pinging…
once you’ve updated your blog (in any way), you should let such a service know that you have your blog has been updated. For this, you send a PING to the service. Most of the blog software platforms have the ability to ping on their own. However…pinging a dozen such services could become time consuming.
It is VERY important to ping the big boys like Google, Yahoo and MSN…
I came across an interesting site the other day (www.CreditRoom.com) and thought I would share it with you guys because I found it to be unique and intriguing for women. I myself don’t have many credit cards, because I prefer to pay with cash…but this site made me want to apply. The reason I was so interested in it right off the bat, was because of the sleek modern site design and the focus to serve women.
TNX (actually pronounced like the word “thanks” rather than the spoken initials) is a place for publishers and advertisers alike to buy and sell links on their sites and blogs. There aren’t high page rank requirements to be able to buy and sell links, like many other text link marketplaces on the net today. They are more than likely to approve anyone with a decent site or blog, obviously having good quality content and site information. (more…)
Alright, so I confess. Every now and then I like to take a day off from blogging. Well, you’re probably thinking…when do you do this Krysti? There seems to always be a new blog post here on Moms Cash Blog daily! Yes, but that doesn’t mean that I actually blogged that day! Hmmmm…now I have you thinking huh?!
What I do when I plan on taking a day or few days off…is simply BLOG AHEAD of time. There are a lot of people who don’t realize that the can do this, and it really is very helpful to any blogger. We all need a break sometimes yet we know that if we don’t post a blog post, our readers may disown us…Really.
It is important to keep your blog fresh, interesting and full of good quality frequent posts…so what I do is take a block of time (usually an hour or two…or three) and write or record a few blog posts. Then instead of clicking publish when I am done, I just click save and it gets saved as a draft. So on that day I want to take off, or go on vacation or allow myself the time to be sick in bed on those yucky days…I just access my WordPress admin, go to manage…choose the blog post draft and publish it. Wha-La – I can post a good quality blog post in a blink of an eye and it is awesome! I recommend that if you do not have at least one back up (draft) blog post saved, to do so immediately. Because you never know when you’re going to need a break…and you don’t want to leave your peeps hanging. Just a fun fact from Mom’s goody blog bag.

Today I wanted to talk about ClickBooth, which is one of my favorite Affiliate Networks. In this post I will discuss who they are, the benefits of using them to make money online and what you will need to get started as an affiliate with them. As you may all know, Moms Cash Blog is a fairly new blog. I have not yet reached the one year mark, but in the months that I have had my blog online here – ClickBooth has been one of my top performers. The reason I think they have helped me to make some of the most money over any other affiliate networks that I have used in the past, is the fact that they have many offers available for me to promote. Some of the big names in their network are: Blockbuster, America Online, Efax, Reunion, Dish Network and Vista Print – just to name a few. You can see with that short list of advertisers that I just listed…the wide array of products, sites and companies that you are able to promote with ClickBooth as an affiliate. They actually have about 5,000 different offers giving you many, many choices. I love the ability to have different ads, for each of my different websites and blogs. Each site or blog that I run and operate, has its own theme and reader base. Therefor, I don’t want an affiliate company that will only give me the option of promoting cell phone ringtones, or sexy babes in bikinis (LOL) – I want good quality ads that people will actually click on and be interested in or else I will be wasting my time and eventually I will go broke. Their offers actually range from about $1.50 all the way up to $200 each, depending on the promotion. Plus, ClickBooth has an amazing 2nd tier referral commission of 2%…that means if you refer someone to their network and they become a publisher themselves, you’ll get 2% of THEIR earnings for LIFE! That is awfully generous of them, and I tend to make a great deal just from my referrals hard work each month.
Now keep in mind that as a blog or website owner, you actually own online real estate. That real estate is the available ad space that you have on your site or blog…remember, that space equals money! Just how much money you ask? Well, that depends on the ads that are placed in those areas. For instance, ClickBooth offers many different offers with unique payouts. Some of their top affiliates are earning six figures per month while others are starting out with a few hundred. Either way, I would say that those numbers speak louder than Google Adsense, for most bloggers and site owners these days. Now don’t get me wrong, I like Google Adsense – however I think that most blogs and sites that use Adsense have noticed a drastic drop in the amount of money they are making with them most recently. I am very confident in recommending ClickBooth to you, because I know that their publisher payments are always on time (gotta’ love that), their payments are steady and growing, their affiliate managers (which you will be assigned to your own personal manager when you sign up) are totally helpful and awesome to say the least and no matter what skill level you are when it comes to affiliate marketing – they will be sure that you are successful with your ads. They offer help when you need it and can even recommend their top affiliate programs of the month! One other thing I would like to mention and get off of my chest is the fact that they are honest. This is SO important you guys…because if you are working for an affiliate network that is not established, not honest…nor professional – you could end up losing a lot of money. Just because an affiliate network has a website, a name and a few offers for you to promote – doesn’t make them a good affiliate network that you can trust your precious ad space with. As a ClickBooth publisher, I usually end up making more money than I calculate for the month. It is always a nice surprise to exceed your monthly money goals. Another perk to ClickBooth is the fact that anyone is welcome to apply and join their affiliate network. Believe me, I know what it feels like to be a small fish in a big pond when you first start a website or blog. It seems like most well established affiliate networks only cater to super affiliates. Well…weren’t those super affiliates once that small fish themselves. You have to start somewhere and if nobody gives you that starting chance, of course you will never succeed at making money online. ClickBooth once gave me that chance and now here I stand. An established blog, with quality ads and a full time income coming in. Something I had only dreamed about at one point has now become reality for me! So hats off to you ClickBooth – you are and will remain one of my favorite affiliate networks on the block.

Amazon…is it still a bit undiscovered. I say yes to that question…I don’t think many people realize that Amazon is a big hidden secret waiting to make you money online. I started selling stuff on Amazon, about two years ago. Well, I guess I first started out as a book buyer and one day I was wondering how I could sell a few of my own used book on Amazon myself. I read through Amazon’s F.A.Q section and finally came a cross a link that stated “sell your stuff” – I clicked it! That was one of the best click troughs I have ever had. It has lead me to a great online income selling my stuff full time on Amazon.com – Not just books either – CLICK HERE TO GET STARTED SELLING FOR FREE!
It is free to sell books, goods and products on www.Amazon.com and you get paid daily if you want…no thresholds to reach. I like to cash out daily myself, it is a like a daily paycheck and I love paying myself. I urge you to give Amazon a chance, after all it is free and you have nothing to lose…just money to gain. I know that ALL of you have at LEAST one used book lying around in your house, garage, attic or somewhere that you can start off with. (more…)
