The majority of people currently creating content on the Internet have no idea that they could be getting paid for their creativity only if they knew who exactly is willing to pay them for their hardwork. The few people, who do already know where to go to get paid for the things that they create, may not know about these websites who want to pay them, too.

Not all websites pay the same way and some may pay less than others, so be sure to read everything about a program before signing up. Some websites pay less, but can generate a lot of needed exposure for your work(s) and other pay more, but generate less exposure for your work. No matter which service that you choose to use, it will take a lot of hardwork to generate the kind of results that you may already have in your mind, so be prepared to buckle down and get your best work out there.

  1. BuzzShed

    This is a website that uses a form of reverse psychologyto generate an income for its members by paying them to watch sponsored produced videos. That's right, BuzzShed is a social bookmarking community for videos and the members decided if the videos will receive user generate buzz or not, but the best part is that the users get paid just for watching. How much you get paid is also left up to you, so you have complete control over what you watch and how much you will get paid for watching a video at BuzzShed.

  2. lulu.tv

    Get paid for sharing your videos, music and podcast at Lulu TV a social network that exchanges media created by its members. The more that your content gets played, then the more you will get paid. Lulu TV sets aside 80 percent of the ad revenue into a community sharing pool and then divides this ad revenue pool amongst its content creators according to the total times that their content has been played in a 30-day period of time. So, the more times that the content is played, then the more money that you can make.

  3. Break

    Break rewards its content creators when their video or photography is featured on their homepage. Content creators can earn up to $400 for original videos, $25 for original photos and up to $2,000 for original short films and animations if the content earns a position on the Break Homepage.

Your content will continue to earn money in the months and years to come as long as it continues to receive readers (views) on Triond. I would recommend this program to anyone would has the desire to write and especially if you want to earn an income doing it.

  5. Zadby

      Now, Zadby has created a unique programwhere freelance video creators can earn money by creating viral videos for advertisers, marketers and brand managers who want to commission freelancers to create original videos featuring their products.

It is free to join and there are upgrades that you can purchase if you require more robust features.

  7. Feed The Village

    This is not one of the most profitable writing opportunities that I have seen on the Internet, but the fact that this website is designed to help people it is worth noting. As a content contributor you can choose to share 10% of the ad revenue that the site generates for yourself or donate your share to charity. Help other people by sharing your knowledge or opinions or give advice on the things that you know best and make money doing so.

  8. Niche Blast

    Niche Blast offers writers a program that rewards writers more if they write more articles for their site. The more quality articles that you write then the more share of the ad revenue you can earn in a one-month period of time.

Writers can write about anything (within reason) and get paid every time someone reads the tutorial that they wrote. This is a good opportunity to checkout especially if you want to earn more from what you write about already.

It has such a wide variety from so many different organizations and business from volunteering and paying positions, contract, full time, part time, telecommunicating, you name it, what ever you're looking for. Finding a job because you are changing careers or relocating is a breeze you just simply enter your information and craigslist will get you what you need where you need it. Then it's as simple as sending your resume or you can post your resume on craigslist and let the employers find you, but be sure to make it eye catching and worded in away that is meaningful to the employers showing that you match their specifications.

You can also make friends on craigslist or friends that perhaps could become more than friends. This is what the "personals are for. The only thing about this is you have to be of legal age (18) or over. Just place an ad or take a look see who wants a friend or something more. Maybe you want to meet someone in a different City or even Country then simply go to the craigslist there and post an add. This would be especially good if you were relocating somewhere, why not have friends before you get there. If you post an ad do not try to be something or someone your not, there are rules to using this part of craigslist.

Another feature for making friends on craigslist is the forums or open discussions you can join in on. Here you can find people with similar interests to talk to or maybe not so similar which always makes for interesting discussions. The thing is you can talk to people from all over, make all kinds of new friends and maybe learn something along the way.

The other real popular feature that craigslist offers is its advertising. This is affordable because you only pay a small posting fee. This covers exclusively three areas and housing advertisements in one city. You can sell your services and products and still make money doing this by using this site. It also gives you a much broader selling market at a lot less cost; you only pay the bare minimum compared to other sites.

The exposure for so little cost is amazing you do not need to get people to view these ads. Craigslist does it for you with millions who already view it and generating billions of page views a month, what more could you ask for.

Anything that is legal to sell, you can sell. Not only can you sell anything, you can find anything. From services to houses and vehicles and everything in between. Just write an advertisement you can even put in a picture, if you like. You can post job ads as well, this too is free unless you happen to live in one of the ten cities that there is a charge for.

This is an easy way to make some extra cash. Almost like a big garage sale, you can sell off all your old unwanted items, like they say one mans junk is another mans treasure. You can sell your skills if you have any or maybe you have a hobby making crafts that you can sell. The thing to remember here is that craigslist.org is easy to use, its fun and best of all its free. You may even make some new friends.

The other big thing about craigslist.org is that it is safe. Lets face it when you actually hold a garage or yard sale, not much difference really, you have all kinds of people coming to your home. You don't know whose who and you don't know if you or your home is being staked out. Especially if you are a woman who lives alone or spends any length of time alone, are you really safe doing that, I think the answer would be NO. You also have to deal with getting it all set up, whether the weather is going to be okay or not and the list goes on. With craigslist.org all you need is your e-mail address which is hidden and you can have all potential buyers go through craigslist.org e-mail and then to you. The only people coming to your home are ones you ask or you can meet them somewhere, the choice is yours. You are completely hidden and safe and you are still making money at no cost to you.

When you compare it to a yard sale, or a newspaper ad, which you have to pay for, or even online auctions which also cost money, Craigslist.org is the safest, cheapest and simplest way to go to sell your services or items to a large market for free.

Okay, you've got the facts about using craigslist.org to sell most anything you want to make that extra cash for what ever it is you want or need so go ahead and try it.

]]> Sun, 13 Jul 2008 08:36:48 PST Five Ways to Increase Backlinks, Traffic, and Pagerank http://www.webupon.com/Marketing/Five-Ways-to-Increase-Backlinks-Traffic-and-Pagerank.144867 Here is the prerequisite for this article.

What are "backlinks"? Backlinks are links directed to your website. Also known as Inbound links apposed to outbound links. Not only the quality but the number of backlinks are an indication of the popularity or importance of that website. Backlinks are important for SEO because some search engines, especially Google, will give more credit to websites that have a good number of quality backlinks, and consider those websites more relevant than others in their results pages for a search query.

How Do You Get Backlinks and Increase Them?

There are many ways to get backlinks from developing linking partners, posting blogs, posting comments on forums, participating in Internet community websites, writing articles, writing reviews and finding services and people that help with backlinks.

Here are 5 ways to increase backlinks and traffic in a short period of time. Most of these suggestions are not do-it-in-5-minute tasks. Most require time, intelligence, effort and persistence but they work. It is important to use as many different ways to get backlinks as possible. When developing backlinks, first figure out what type of backlink you want? Quality PageRank increasing backlinks or backlinks that bring unique traffic to sites?

5 Ways To Increase Backlinks in 3 Weeks

Post on a Forum

Post on several forums from business, wholesale, marketing to technical forums. You do not need to be a guru on these forums. You might have found answers to some users questions already in the forum and you can direct them to it. No matter what skills you have, you can usually take advantage of several forums. For instance if you are a web developer, your services are required by the people on many forums. If you have book keeping skills then pretty well all industry can benefit from your experience.

If you do a quick search on your local google for business forums, wholesale forums or marketing forums, you should be able to find many. UK Business Forums, The Wholesale forum and The Sales and Marketing Forums are just 3 great sites to start with. Be sure you do not spam. Write your posts, help, suggestions, reviews or articles in a manner so you can link to your resources as often and naturally as possible. Join around 10 forums. Become assets and valued members on 2 to 3 forums and on the others just follow threads and post replies, questions or comments. It will become apparent which forums you will spend more time on... the ones you like.

Be sure to use your signature and post 3 links in it. If you have 500 or 1000 posts on that forum then you will have 1500 or 3000 backlinks to your resources just from your signature file. The nice thing about your signature is that you can change it and link to different resources or content and all those links change. You can charge to put links to other sites in your articles and write your articles around them. Find companies on the Internet and ask them if they will pay you to write articles or reviews about their services and/or products to establish backlinks for them. This will maximize your efforts.

One thing to keep an eye on is where these forums link to and what their PageRank is. Most browser already display PageRank, as well there are many PageRank tools on the Internet, you can Google one if you don't know what I mean, go to Google and search "Online PageRank Tool." Here is a quick, FREE PageRank tool at SEO Peuan.

Forums can bring you large amounts of traffic and provide large amounts of backlinks. Keep an eye on your stats and you might be surprised that some of the forums that you do not spend much time on bring you the most traffic and the ones you spend massive amounts on bring little.

Post On Blogs

You should have your own blog that you post to but you should post comments or questions to other blogs. Blogs you just comment on such as http://gizmodo.com/, http://www.geekalerts.com/, http://www.techpin.com/ to name a few. Some require you to register and some do not. As you know there are many, many blogs remember to keep your eye on their PageRank and who they link to.

Posting comments on blogs can bring in a fair amount of traffic if you are consistent and post brief comments daily. The more you post the more backlinks you can create.

Website Review Sites

Website review sites allow members to join to look at and review sites and have people look at and review their sites, this option is usually available on forums so take advantage of getting your website reviewed on forums too. Here is one website review site you can try called Linkreferral Once again a quick search of Google can help you find many sites to join. Keep an eye on the site's PageRank.

These types of sites require a lot of effort and you do not get a lot of traffic. What you do get is people visiting your site daily and reviewing it with nice happy reviews. This is great for backlinks. If your marketing is on track and your product is relevant you might get customers, members or return visitors.

Traffic Sites

Traffic Sites, Pay to Click, Traffic exchanges and GPT allow members to post links to their sites and display them to other members. When members click the links, the owners of the link pays some form of credit. To get credit you pay $$ or you click other members sites. So, basically all the traffic you get to your site is from another web owner clicking your link to get credit for his site so someone will click his link.

One of the more popular traffic sites is TrafficSwarm which is effective, fast and free. You start getting traffic as soon as your website is authorized which usually is never longer than 24 hours.

There are thousands of these sites out there. The more popular sites can bring in 100 - 200 unique visitors per day EACH and help lower your Alexa traffic ranking. Having a low Alexa ranking (below 100,000) with a decent PageRank (3-4) can be the difference between a successful linking partner campaign and an unsuccessful one. Once again keep an eye on the PageRank and who they link too.

*** Make sure you do not have Google Adsense ads on the pages that you display on these type of sites because Google might ban your account.

Serious Backlinks

There are many 1-way and 2-way linking services available such as TopSites, Webrings, Add-a-link pages, directories, viral linking scripts and reciprocal linking sites. The problems with these are useless backlinks, no traffic and links to "bad neighborhoods" by Google's definition.

Every now and then somebody comes along with a great idea and it works well. One of these great ideas is Zeriouz.

At zeriouz, you can add your websites for free, and without having to add reciprocal backlinks or registration You'll get unlimited quality backlinks. You can also add code to your site to increase the amount of backlinks you have by referring people to submit their sites. Zeriouz can provide hundreds of "text" links back to your website in "weeks" and even thousands thereafter.

You will be absolutely amazed by the simplicity and effectiveness of the zeriouz network system. zeriouz will send you thousands of visitors, just for placing some free code on your website which contains five links and a referral ID.

Referral Structure

You refer 10 people: 1st Generation: 10 links to your website

Your 2nd generation refers 10 people: 3rd Generation: 1,000 links to your website
Your 3rd generation refers 10 people: 4th Generation: 10,000 links to your website
Your 4th generation refers 10 people: 5th Generation: 100,000 links to your website

Then you will be presented with code that you will paste into your website, as well as a referral ID that you can use to promote your website. The entire system is easy to follow and implement and just takes seconds.

Very often professional movie critics have very different opinions from the general public. That's why IMDb is a great source to see movie reviews and ratings because you can see what hundreds if not thousands of people think of a movie, instead of just one or two critics. For instance, Juno got an average 8.2 stars out of 10 by 58,000 voters, and you can even see the gender and age breakdowns for the votes.

You also won't have a hard time finding what you're looking for: IMDb consists of the largest accumulation of data about films, television programs, video games and other media.

Product Reviews

It's hard to find trusted product reviews on the internet. ConsumerReports requires a costly subscription fee, Epinions.com is unreliable because they pay people to write reviews, and retail sites seem to have 5 star ratings for everything because they want to sell you something.

That's why Buzzillions.com is the most reliable and trustworthy product review site out there - they gather thousands of reviews a day from their 1000+ store fronts including Staples.com, Overstock.com, RadioShack.com, etc., and they show which reviews have been written by Verified Buyers - buyers who have been verified through the retailer to have actually purchased the product. Since the majority of the reviews are written by these Verified Buyers, you can feel assured that the products honestly reviewed.

Local Service and Restaurant Reviews

Ever been caught with an expensive dinner with crappy food, a mechanic that over charges, or a really bad haircut? Yelp is THE site to see what others are saying and how they're rating local services - everything from salons to dentists and doctors to restaurants and shopping. It's also a great way to find great hole-in-the-wall food places you never would have known about otherwise.

New and Used Car Reviews

Edmunds is by far the best site to read new and used car reviews. Buying a car (especially used) can be a really frustrating experience, and Edmunds is great for finding the true transaction price and ownership costs. Edmunds cuts through the chase and offers great reviews and valuable tips on both buying and selling cars. For instance, it tells you how the Kelly Blue Book was originally developed by a car dealer and can lose you a lot of money.

You can also search by zip code to find extensive information specifically for your geographic area. For example, when you've decided on a car to look at, they make it easy for you to request price quotes from car dealers in your area.

Videogame Reviews

Gamespot has been around for 11 years, and attracts some 2 million gamers per day. They have expert and community reviews on every console and pretty much any game you're looking for.

Music Reviews

Allmusic claims to be the most comprehensive music reference source on the planet, having a vast wealth of music information on even some of the most obscure albums and artists. You can find everything from old and obscure to popular and new, and read editorial reviews and in depth details from pretty much every genre of music.

They have an editorial staff as well as hundreds of expert contributors so you can find what you're looking for as well as great recommendations.

TV Show Reviews

While Metacritic has a wide range of reviews on games, books, and other categories, I see them as most useful and valid for their TV reviews. Why waste time trying to get into a TV show if everyone says it's not worth it? On Metacritic you can search for TV shows by season, see the "Best Of" rankings by year, and see ratings for upcoming TV show premiers. You can also see reviews by both critics and by viewers.

Podcasts cover a variety of subjects, and come in either audio or video format. If you have an mp3 player, podcasts can be a great way to get more entertainment then the same old music playlist. Here are some recommended podcasts for people on the go:

  1. News Podcasts

    Every major news network provides some type of podcast, whether it's an audio file or video. Most networks provide their popular new programs in a shortened podcast format. This shortened format is great for people who want to keep up to date on news, but don't have a lot of time to do it. Examples of this are CNN's AC360 podcast and NBC's Today show podcast. But for those who want it all, some shows do offer the entire show in video, such as NBC Nightly News or Meet the Press.

  2. Language Podcasts

    There is no reason to stop learning just because you are out of school. And what's better than learning a new language? Whether you are learning a new language for a trip you are planning to take, or if it's just to learn how to flirt in another language, it's a great and inexpensive way to challenge yourself. Many languages are available, from German to Japanese, Spanish to Italian. Some podcasts even offer websites for extra learning, such as JapanesePod101. Their website and podcast offer a total package for learning Japanese.

  3. Movie Review Podcasts

    Don't know what movie to go and see this weekend? Not sure if some of the classics are worth buying? Check out some of the movie review podcasts available. These podcasts will not only give you movie reviews for those new and exciting flicks, but can also steer you toward the best of the classic movies available on DVD.

  4. Cartoon Podcasts

    Want to relive your childhood? Try downloading a cartoon podcast, such as Vintage ToonCast. Vintage ToonCast allows you to download and view videos of old cartoon that are in the public domain. From the beginnings of Disney to Popeye's crazy adventures, you'll find it all here. Vintage ToonCast also has a second podcast with even more classic cartoons for the kid in you.

  5. Make Your Own

    If the idea of podcasts intrigues you, and you think you have something to say, try creating your own podcast. See if your ideas appeal to the podcast world. It's easy to do, and can be lots of fun.

All podcasts are not created equal. Because of this, it's good to check out many different podcasts and see which ones that you like best. Happy listening!

]]> Tue, 22 Jan 2008 04:24:56 PST The Ultimate Smackdown: Wikipedia Vs. Britannica http://www.webupon.com/Web-Talk/The-Ultimate-Smackdown-Wikipedia-Vs-Britannica.68258 If you haven't heard of Wikipedia , you've probably been living under a rock for the past couple of years. But, here is the quick summary of what Wikipedia is: Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

Sheep dung, Brittanica , oh my!

Now, you must be thinking what most of my teachers are thinking. That Wikipedia is an unreliable, hacker filled, pile of sheep dung. Well, that's what I thought when I first read about, and viewed various Wikipedia pages. But, later on in my life I have come to the conclusion that Wikipedia is a far better source of information than places like Encyclopedia Britannica, and InfoPlease, mainly because of a study that was recently conducted by Nature Magazine. This study showed that Wikipedia has 4 errors to Brittanica's 3 errors in the average science article. But here is the funny part, one of Wikipedia's errors came from a book that was written by a staunch anti-Wikipediaist. So that makes Wikipedia even with Britannica.

Truth vs. Fact

I really love this subtitle, "Truth vs. Fact" that makes almost no sense anyway you think about it. Yet, there is a very subtle difference between truth and fact. That difference is that facts are like mass, it will always be the same no matter what the force of gravity is. But truth is like weight, weight is dependant of factors like gravity to define its total.... wait for it... weight. So, basically my point here is that the people who write Encyclopedia Brittanica can all believe in one truth, even if that truth isn't really practical. For example, to the Nazi's Hitler was correct and truthful about the Jew's being the source of Germany's problems, yet the fact was that Germany was suffering because of the agreements that they made with the Allies after World War I. So, if you see something that is the truth, you can change it to the fact.

User Fixability

As a person who takes great pleasure from getting down in the dirt with beta's, alpha's, pretest's, and the likes of those, when I see that someone is calling the Phylum of an Amoeba "Crudeacrestantus" when it should be "Amoebozoa" I can't change that with school databases, or Encyclopedia Britannica. With Wikipedia it would take me all of 30 seconds that fix the classification of that poor little Amoeba. If you were to suggest a fix for Britannica, you would have to submit a formal error fix form, and back that up with proof, and then back that proof up with testimony from people in the profession. Then show that those people in the profession are actually in the profession. Finally you would have to wait a considerable amount of time before you would actually see the change. So several thousands of people would see it prior to it being fixed.

Community

I love communities. I love forums. I love chat rooms. They are places where I can sit down with a cup of grape juice and enjoy the technological company of others. Wikipedia offers this type of thing with Talk pages, Discussion Pages, and History Pages. But other encyclopedia (especially book copies ;-) ) lack these features. The main advantage of these pre-installed communities is that you can discuss and debate what should be in an article or not, but it is also a great place that you can kick back and chat about what has happened in real life.

Conclusion

So, if you want to get decent information from a reliable source, for free, that spans over 2,138,523 topics, Wikipedia is the way to go. But if you would rather cash out and splurge on boring old Britannica, with its aggrandizing words, complex phrases, formulas, and unhelpful errors, then shell out $69.95 for the online service (or a whooping $1,325.05 for the books!). Or, on a lighter note, if you prefer things that everyone has their say in then Wikipedia is the way to go.
