Make Money from your website through adsense alternative

Most of us only know about Adsense that offers webmasters to earn money by placing ads on their sites. The owner of the site can earn through clicks on those ads. The price earned per click depends upon the max CPC or bid amount for that ad. Throughout the globe adsense has become a source of income for those who have a lot of traffic on their sites. There are similar programs offered by Yahoo and Microsoft’s Bing also. Before I begin, I want to tell that I have confidence in adsense, however programs offered by Bing or Yahoo can also be a source of income. Let me elaborate each one by one.

Make Money

Google adsense- It is most widely used program that lets web site owners to place text as well as image ads on their site and earn revenue when somebody clicks on it. The only condition for earning is that the clicks must be genuine. Invalid or fraud clicks can lead banning of site for lifetime. Here lifetime means you won't be granted other adsense account, no matter what you do. Google adsense uses its tools to figure out people whose accounts have been banned in the past. They save ip addresses linked with each account. If you change your ip by changing the internet connection, they will match the address of payee name. So practically it is very tough to get back your account or get new account once it is banned.

Yahoo Publisher Network- This is the program that is similar to Google adsense except that it is offered by Yahoo. In this program you place ads on your site that are automatically monitored by Yahoo. Yahoo bots see the content of your site and deliver the ad that is specific to the content of your webpage. You are paid when someone clicks on yahoo ads placed on your site. The amount you earn on each click depends upon many factors such as max CPC (Cost Per Click) of ad. Page rank of your webpage. If you have a high page rank and your content is unique and informative than revenue from each click will likely to be more. This is same as what happens in Google adsense. In YPN you also have the provision for generating specific ads. For example, if you want ads for hotels, then you can generate code for displaying ads for hotels. You can also change the appearance of your ads in YPN. 

Some unique features that is not there in Google adsense is that yahoo offers four ways of collecting revenue. Unlike Adsense where you can get your money only through cheque, Yahoo offers following ways of collecting your earnings.

· Direct bank transfer

· Cheque

· PayPal

· Online deposit

Yahoo uses same tools that Google uses for monitoring the genuinity of ads. So you can be banned as in case of Adsense for fraud clicks. Like Adsense Yahoo is open for any one who want to earn some cash.

Latest update on Yahoo Publisher Network-. With the effect from april 30 2010 Yahoo dcided to shut down its YPN business. The closing of YPN is end of 5 yeras long Yahoo Publisher Network. Yahoo assigned that maintaing Publisher Network requires too many resources which otherwise can be used to provide better user experience for its users. So where the yahoo is sending its existing publishers who were making money. Well the answer is Chitika.com. Yahoo is snding all its existing publishers to Chitika well known for providing content relevant ads for websites. Rad on to know more about Chitika.

Chitika- Chitika is another platform similar to adsense or other platform such as pubcenter or YPN. The good thing about chitika is that it has better CTR (Click through rate) and it its pay out per click is much higher than google adsense.

Bing Pubcenter- This is publisher advertising network offered by Microsoft Bing. The program is beta release, so Bing is expecting a lot of feedback from its users. This program is newly launched and is open for citizens of U.S. only. You need to complete a W9 form for applying to this program. Requisites for Pubcenter are

· US tax ID

· Address proof

· Site traffic must be from US only.

Like Adsense and Yahoo Publisher Network, you will earn money only when someone clicks on Bing ads on your site. The amount earned per click depends on factors that are present in Adsense and YPN. Here again, Performance is monitored and you can be banned for invalid clicks. High quality, unique and informative content is likely to be accepted in Pubcenter program. Pages with less use of java scripts and graphics can be strong contenders for this program.

You can place both image as well as text ads. You can also customize the look of your ads. A variety of tools and features are present to monitor the performance of your ads. Most of the features of this program is same as that of Google Adsense and Yahoo Publisher Network.

Adsense vs Chitika vs Bing Pubcenter (which is more Profitable)- There is no direct answer to this question. Which program will give you more cash can’t be predicted. You will know only when you try it yourself. Adsense is said to have more CTR ( Click through Rate, The no of times click is done divided by 100) because of its specific ad placement. Adsense gives you less revenue. However, Adsense generally gives 30- 40 percent of the actual CPC. Here specific ad placement means that the ad shown on your webpage is very much related to the content of your website. Since Google adsense has lot of advertisers they have plenty of ads to show specifically for different content across different webpages. So if you webpage is all about "making money through website" then you might see ad of affiliate or adsense related products.

Chitika on the other hand has much better payout for every click than adsense. Also Chitika click through rate is much higher than its competitors making it one of the best ad revenue generating for websites. Chitika also has specific ad placement related to the content of the website. 

On contrary Yahoo gives 60 -70 of the revenue of actual CPC (cost per click) but CTR of Yahoo is believed to be less because of broad ad placement. By ad placement I mean relevancy of ad to the content of the page. Very specific ad placement means that if your page is about coffee then you will have ads on coffee only on your page. Broad ad placement means that ads of different utility can appear irrespective of the content of your page. To elaborate this point take the example that your website is about "earning through website" then you might get ads about web hosting or some other ads like that which is not very closely related to the content of your webpage. This is owing to the fact that yahoo has less no of advertisers and hence it has less variety of ads to show on its content network.

Since lot of people have already used to see "ads by Google", they know what it is and will certainly won't click out of curiosity. On the other hand YPN and Bing is still very rare so probability of visitor clicking on these ads out of curiosity is much compared to adsense.

Nothing much can be said about ad placement of Bing as it is still very new.

Conclusion- Though Google’s Adsense is most widely used publisher ad placement program, there are other options too that can be used for generating revenue. A experiment spanning a time of few days can be to determine which one is best for your site. The revenue potential through these programs can't be estimated correctly unless it is done correctly.

How to Work as an Online Freelancer

Freelancing from Home

For many people, working from home is the dream--roll out of bed, no commute, and spend the day doing something you love. But if your place of employment doesn't have a work from home program, can you start your own business and make that happen? Is it feasible, and how much work does it take?

One of the hardest parts of starting your own business where you work from home is generating business (and thus profits!). However, working as an online freelancer is not impossible, and many people succeed at it. You will need dedication, determination, talent, and a plan!

Choosing a Field for Online Freelance Work

Once you've decided you would like to be an online freelancer, you will need to choose a field--more specifically, a service-based field. If you have a talent for writing, graphic design, transcription, or editing, you can probably find online work and start building a client base.

So, sit and think about your talents and how you can best apply them to a service-based field. Think outside of the box and get creative--you never know when you'll hit that perfect niche market.

From personal experience: I needed a way to make extra money while putting myself through law school, so I decided to use my English degree and internships in publishing to start an online editing, proofreading, and writing business. I reached out to publishing houses and set up a website, and within a year I had a steady income (not enough to live off of, but enough to get by).

Creating a Website and Building a Client Base

Word of mouth on the street CAN get you business, but networking in-person isn't enough anymore--you will also need an online presence if you're going to work as an online freelancer. If you're short on start-up cash, make your own website through a provider like GoDaddy.

On your website, make sure your grammar and spelling are perfect--you want to present a professional image. Also be sure to list your qualifications and your passion for the work you're doing--remember, your website is to sell your services and yourself as a professional!

Unfortunately, just having a website doesn't guarantee business--there's just too much competition in the search engines. You will have to promote your website on social media--Facebook, Twitter, blogging, etc.
Sites like Guru.com, eLance.com, and oDesk.com are also a great way to build a client base. On those sites, you bid for a project, and the person posting the project picks the best fit (or in some unfortunate cases, the cheapest fit). You probably will not get paid what you are worth on these sites--but if you do a great job, clients will come back and likely be amenable to increasing your rate of pay.

From personal experience: I started editing and proofreading on Guru.com in 2009, and I have several lasting relationships with clients from the site. Though I can't speak to the other sites, I can attest that starting off with the sites is a good way to gain exposure and generate clientele.

Final Considerations

Some final words of advice:

• Don't quit your existing job cold-turkey to work as an online freelancer--it takes time to build a reputation and clientele. Start out part-time in the evenings and see how your workload increases; when you do decide to go full-time, be sure to have a nest egg saved up.
• Don't join sites that pay you a pittance to do menial tasks--you could make more extra money working at the mall, and clicking buttons to make $3 will not lead to more clients down the road.
• Don't do a full project without at least some sort of payment--and develop a contract (or find one online) to bind clients to payment.
• Always ask for a testimonial--nothing will sell your services like the honest, positive opinions of another client.
• It's tempting to work almost around the clock once you get a steady flow of clients, but don't--you will burn out!

Online freelancing can be a great world to enter--it offers freedom, flexibility, and extra income. With a little hard work, you too can join the ranks of online workers!

Elance Success Tips For Newbies

About Elance

Elance is a freelancing outsource site where writers, programmers and other job seekers bid on tasks that clients have posted. The bids and proposals are much like applying for a job where many persons apply for the same job and the client chooses one.

Unlike many other outsourcing sites, Elance employers pay well. A freelancer can earn $8 an hour or more, depending on the client or task. Do the work exceptionally well and the client will repeat.

Of all the outsourcing or freelance sites, Elance has gotten the best review. They make sure the client pays them as soon as the job is awarded and you get paid immediately after submitting your completed status. The only delay might be a few hours while the client authorizes payment.

There are several ways to receive your money from Elance.

1. You may choose to receive your money through Paypal

3. Non US residents have two options, a Payoneer prepaid mastercard directly from Elance and a deposit to a Moneybrokers account.
4. Withdraw your money directly to your credit or debit card

The best thing you can do for your membership is.....

To make your profile stand out.
When someone visits your profile page you want them to spend some time to get to know you. Your page should be very interesting so that the client will want to hire you there and then. Here are some tips to improve your profile.

1. Write a paragraph or two about yourself, your goals, vision and mission as a professional. Highlight your strong points. Remember this is a resume and potential employers will be reading it.
2. Use a real photograph or company logo as your avatar. A photo of your cat or some random cartoon is not very professional and will not sell you well.
3. Add your education and work experience
4. Add portfolio items of your best work or the kind of things you would prefer to be employed for.
5. Complete your profile. Elance will help you along and let you know what percent completeness you are at. They will also let you know what you can do to reach 100%.
6. As mentioned below, do the tests and place the ones you do well at the top of your skills list.
7. Use the tags and keywords section so your skill will show up in search.

Here are some Elance Newbie tips

• When you view a job, check out the lowest and highest bids of the previous bids. Bid below the lowest bid. This is really no guarantee that the client will choose you but as a newbie many clients will pay less to give you a chance.However, don't sell yourself short and work for nothing. Make sure the amount you bid is worth working for.
• Be the first to bid. Try catching the jobs as they are placed and place your proposal and bid first. Half the time the client will pick the first bidder especially if the job isn't too technical or if they are in a hurry to get the job done.
• Make every proposal unique. Never cut and paste a proposal that you have used before. Some clients are able to spot this immediately. Your proposal must be specific to the current position you are applying for. Make it stand out. You are a writer, use that skill to woo the client.
• Use your connects wisely. Read the job requirements before applying. Make sure it is something you can handle easily. Don't experiment and hope it works out, be sure you apply for a job you are equipped to do.
• If you find a job you really, really want, use an extra connect to place you at the top of the bid list. The client will read your bid first and may just choose you. If there are no other bids at the time when you place yours, still use that connect. That will ensure you remain at the top of the list.
• Just in case you change your mind and you want to decline the job, do so courteously after the client has chosen you. Send a message when you "decline" letting them know that you were chosen for another job and you won't be able to handle both.
• Submit writing samples and links. Whenever I check my stats on certain hubs and see traffic from Elance it always pleases me. If you are a writer on HP then submit your link with your proposal/bid. If you have articles saved on your computer, attach a sample with the bid. This way the client will get to see your writing style, the kind of articles you are skilled at writing and how well presented your articles are. Make sure they are error free and interesting.
• After each job give your client a raving review. A client had rated me 4.8 because I made an error in figures. I was referring to how many people search the internet each year and wrote billions instead of millions. So my rating dropped to 4.9. I received an email after a job that asked me to rate the client and I did. I realized that when I rate a client first they are more likely to give me a good rating. So I did it a few times (even at Freelancer.com) and my rating went back to 5.0. Clients are more likely to hire you with five stars.

Other things that will help you!

Take the tests - they are free
When you sign up at Elance in order to start applying for work you need to take the Elance proficiency test which is compulsory. You get to choose one category per month in which you can apply for jobs. In this category there are many tests that you can take to show on your profile.
For example, if you select the writing category, the tests can range from fiction to ghostwriting. These tests will show your proficiency and skill level in certain areas and clients will feel more confident in employing you.
Unlike Odesk and Freelancer, the Elance tests are free. You can take them anytime and the pass rate is 60, which is very low. There is no excuse, take some of the tests.

Upgrade your membership
Upgrading your membership from the free account will give you more connects each month. This way you can more than double the amount of proposals you submit. These connects also roll over, so if you don't use them up by the end of your membership month, they add to your new month.
Free membership only gives 40 connects while paid membership gives 60 connects. Your membership status is also featured on your profile and increases your chance of employment by about 40%. Paid membership for the individual costs $10 per month. It is worth it.
Paid membership also allows you to see the previous bid amounts so you can bid competitively. Seeing your competitors' bids will help you make a decision about the amount you should be charging for the project. This is a new feature.

Change your category
If your skills match more than one category, consider switching each month. Do it early as it takes a while to take effect when your membership is free. Paid members have their categories switched immediately. You can also pay $5 to have another category added to your account.

Bid on multiple jobs
Don't place your bid on one job and hope it works out. Don't wait for your bid to be declined before bidding on another job. Apply for multiple positions which gives you a greater chance of being employed.
