Learn How to Make Money Blogging Free E-course

I want you to be able to make money writing blogs. To make sure you know everything you can, I want to share a free e-course with you today, from a Romanian gentleman that makes money here on the Internet. His name is Codrut Turcanu, and it will help you a lot to get to know his work and his products. He truly enjoys sharing information with you, so you can implement it. This is a free course to help you make a real income, not just a few hundred here or there. He tells what to avoid too, not just what to do. It's dated for 2007 but you'll just have to overlook that part. The best part is that is good info, whether you use it this year, or last year. and it's free. Free is really nice, isn't it?

The more you know, the more you will be able to make, and the more money Codrut will make with you. It's reciprocal, just like this web page. We all can work together to make more income using each other's resources. I want you to use as many of the resources I offer as possible, so you too can succeed.

Codrut also has coaching programs and some challenges to help you get you going. Be sure to look into all this over the next few weeks but for now, feel encouraged to learn with the money for writing blogs e-course from Codrut. You'll be thanking both of us in no time. Enjoy!

Where to Network Socially Online

Are you keeping up with all the new social networking sites and making use of any of them? Have you seen the social networking grid? It's not a complete list, but it's a lot of sites. Choose a few to make new contacts on and get your social networking off the ground. Look for the new ones that are taking off with high numbers like Hi5.
But remember, don't be foolish and annoy your new friends with advertisements, they can get those anywhere. They want to make friends to have conversations with and share interests, then they may want to hear about your information and what you are into online. But be subtle.
Try to enjoy yourself a little ..."all work and no play make Johnny a dull boy." Life is not all about Internet marketing, especially on April Fool's Day. This might be the only foolishness that can make you money.

Blog Money Makers Say Diversify!

In the quest to make an income with your blog, finding new methods to diversify is of extreme importance these days. For example, today I just heard that Google Adsense is changing again. Now you canNot have their ads Match Your Web Site, in any way. Kind of funny since when I signed up at Google's Adsense site, Google told me to choose colors to Match my site. So, to keep yourself happily profiting, even during Google's many mid-life crisis, diversify with other forms of revenue streams. You don't want all your eggs in one basket so have a look at Chitika.
They even have nicer looking ads, which are much easier to customize to your content. Take a look at the ads at this web site for GPS related items. The Chitika ads are at the top and bottom of the web page. So, be sure to look into this and be diversified no matter what Google decides to do.

Traffic Like You've Never Seen - Proven Techniques

Hope you had a nice Monday after the Resurrection Day Easter Holiday. I spent my Monday getting truck loads of targeted traffic from a new system called Traffic Transformer<<==!

This morning as I write this, the fog horn is sounding, since we're in a think fog. I love this time of year. I cannot even see the lighthouse. Slows down the traffic into the harbor though. I couldn't imagine having to navigate through the thick fog guided only by a foghorn. We all need a foghorn that leads traffic to our blogs and websites because really, what good is the best content if nobody can find it to read? Content is king, in most cases so make sure yours is shared by getting the traffic you want with this recommended method.

This traffic system is developed by a new, friend of mine, Mark Flavin, and he has sent over 1,000,000 unique visitors to his websites. Just check out the video on the linked page for proof. What a foghorn!

You realize that when it comes to getting traffic, you've been lied to ...find out the truth, learn how you can drive truck loads of traffic to your site & quickly produce results that will send needed traffic to your site, putting real money in your pocket. It's not just about posting to a few article directories anymore. You need to use as many different avenues as possible. Start with this and don't worry about the cost, it's not expensive. Mark needs to update it a bit (I think that's why it's so inexpensive) but it's still valuable. Mark Over Delivers! You know me ...spending less is more ...it makes you reach farther and try harder. Conquering something instead of just buying something.

It's kind of like the advice you might have heard saying that in each article you write, pretend you have to pay a dollar for every word you include. It will keep you more conservative and more concise to practice that old writer's adage. Still, we all need to spend a little don't we? It's inevitable. So...

If you're looking for more traffic, and most people are! I highly recommend the Traffic Transformer<<== RIGHT AWAY! It's everything I've been learning and so much more. I can't wait to hear from you how much this changes your traffic and your Internet presence. Blow your horn! Blessings to your success,

Create a High Google Rank in Days With This Secret Method

Now you can be one of the first to find out Michelle's secret treasure of a web site back-link builder, to gain a high rank on Google in just a few days. I said it was secret because most webmasters have never heard of this. It's super easy and doesn't take much time at all. In fact, 30 minutes is the average amount of time needed to go through the process! You'll be surprised how easy it is to do over and over, as many times as you want. I could hardly wait to get my hands on these brilliant tutorials. They are formatted for Windows, but Mac users are given alternatives ...Michelle thought of everyone. Have you heard of Michelle's work yet? Wait 'till you see it. She was promoting a brand, new domain of a cool tattoo site she put together one afternoon, and with this tool, she got over 150 visitors each day after only 2 days, for only 30-minutes of promotion work. Oh wait, there are 5 methods she will teach to you, but she only used 1 of them. Even she was surprised at the effectiveness!

You just follow the step-by-step videos, fill out a form with your web address and, poof, you get one-way links in days! All using free sources or free trials. Superb. This should be implemented into any Internet marketing strategy fast. I'm not sure yet if the program will be limited, so you should get right over there now. Then enjoy the traffic next week ...well, in 48 hours! You'll have a hundred plus or so visitors right quick each day using the software. And the program is Guaranteed ...of course.

PS - please make sure you have enough bandwidth for your sites first.

All the best,

Make Web Links Open Automatically in New Windows

It's handy to use the tool that WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors give you to make a link open, using highlighted words. It looks neat and professional that way, on your web pages. But it bothered me that the page I was viewing was replaced with the new link's page. Then I have to go back where I was right away, and Right Click to Open in a New Window; or just remember to go back as many as it takes, to get back to the original page I was reading before I clicked a link. Are you with me so far? I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear enough.

Here's an example:
I want to open this link but it replaces my web page, so when I put on my webmaster hat and edit Html, I need to add a couple of words to my links to get them behaving properly...

Instead of open this link
I want target="new">open this link
So add a -space- after the web page destination quote and type target="new" before the bracket. And now you have edited your Html code to make your links act properly.

One more thing - and this is an important one - whatever words you use for the link, make sure the words are keywords, so the search engines index your page in the most optimal way. So now my link will look like this...
AudioBooks

So, give your links manners and help them open automatically in a new window for your readers, in case they forget to Right Click for options.
If you have any questions, send me a note.
And here's a web site to help you make the most out of your Blogger blog with tips galore.

Mining YouTube For Traffic Back To Web Sites

Most webmasters have heard of posting on forums and other people's websites, to generate traffic back to their sites. But how do we know which sites we should post on? Do they have enough traffic to do our site any good? And do the readers happily click lots of links, so we have a chance of them coming over to visit our site? These are common questions that need answers so we don't waste our time posting to sites that will not generate any traffic for us. Or worse yet, paying for a Google Ad on those sites without any return.

Some have downloaded the Alexa tool-bar to be able to see statistics in their browser, as they go to each site. If you want to get the tool-bar, click on the Alexa link above and then click, get Sparky, for your browser version. Alexa's Sparky tool-bar does not tell us, however, if the people at a site or forum will click our links and visit us. It's a cool tool, but we need more information than only traffic numbers.

Another option is to use information posted on You Tube for "click-throughs" from other sites. Under each You Tube video is the word "Links." When you click on the word, you see where people came from that clicked to see the video. If it's a place you can post an Ad Sense ad or a link-back Forum post with a lot of traffic, you already know what topic interests those people and that they like to click on links. How convenient for web site owners wanting traffic.
So, now you can look up key words in YouTube's Search Box under Videos, and find all the relevant traffic sites you need. Oh, Happy Day!

Want one more little search tool to find traffic from Google? Find yourself a few good blogs with a high ranking at Google ...then read entries and post comments, with a link back to your site. Say something smart and grab attention. Hopefully you are a well-rounded individual and can write on any number of subjects. Many passionate people enjoy knowing many different things and you should be one of them. Read a lot and then post a lot, to get traffic. This is a fun way to get targeted traffic, since the blogs you find should have something to do with what your site customers want. Do this a little each day and all those back-links start building up for you.

If you have any good tips or hints for obtaining free web site traffic, feel free to post a comment to share with Above The Curve readers. Knowledge is good when it's shared and used, so have fun using these simple traffic tips, and enjoy the click-boost to your sites.

Blessings all around,
Cj Kidd


Thought 37 - “My life is out of control!”

Gregory Dickow Ministries

(Are you following along? Here's an example...)

Thought 37

Today we are fasting from the thought that says: “My life is out of control!”

That’s what the devil wants you to think. He wants you to feel helpless and “under” the circumstances. When you think this way, you get discouraged. You lose hope. You give into things. Like a jellyfish, you are carried by the prevailing current. No it’s not!

1. Think above. Stop for a moment and understand what I’m saying here. Think “above” – think from a higher point of view. Look down at life rather than “up” at it. When Elisha’s servant saw from “above”, he realized there were more for him than those against him.

(2 Kings 6:14-17) Notice, God didn’t add any chariots. They were always there. Elisha’s servant just couldn’t see them, because he wasn’t thinking “above.” THINK ABOVE.

2. Don’t see the bigger picture today. That’s not a typo! Think of your situation and your world as small. Think of yourself bigger. Don’t forget – how YOU see yourself, is how life will see you. That’s how the devil will see you. That’s how your mountain will see you. If you see yourself bigger than the mountain (Greater is He that is in you—that makes you big!), then the mountain will respect what you say when you tell it to move!

3. The best day of your life is the day you decide your choices are your own; therefore, your life is your own. No excuses. No one to blame. Remember the lame man at the pool of Bethesda for 38 years. He stayed in his condition because he told Jesus what he had believed for all those years: “I have no one to help me.” (John 5:7) DECIDE TO OWN YOUR CHOICES and you will own the life God wants you to have.

4. Focus on the inside, not the outside. If you’re like me, there are several things on the outside that are not fully under control, but that’s not my job. My job is to get control of the inside. That’s what this fast from wrong thinking is about. It’s taking care of the INSIDE. Deal with your thoughts by continually going over these emails, these verses, these mindsets. YOU ARE IN CONTROL IF YOU CONTROL YOUR THOUGHT LIFE.

5. Take control of your day, one thought at a time. Don’t be overwhelmed. Isaiah 28:13 says that we build God’s Word and God’s thoughts in our lives: “line upon line, precept upon precept.”


THINK IT & SAY IT:

I am in control of my life, because I am in control of my thoughts. I rule my life by ruling my thoughts. My thoughts liberate my emotions, my health, my relationships and my whole life.

I will not stay in a defeated, lonely, sick, depressed condition another day of my life. I focus on the inside (HE is in me, I look up to HIM). I know the thoughts of victory that I am developing will take care of my outside. This fast from wrong thinking is working IN ME, in Jesus’ name.
I think ABOVE beginning today. I choose to look down at life, rather than look up at it. I see it from God’s point of view. I’m bigger than my problem, bigger than the mountain, bigger than any enemy I face today.

Greater, larger and more dominant is HE that is in me, than he that is in the world. TODAY IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE, because I have control of the choices I make.

More than a conqueror with you,
Gregory Dickow

Paid to Surf Links to See, Advertise On and Get Referrals From

Many people use free traffic exchanges (like Traffic Swarm) to get people viewing their websites. (Side Note - Have you seen the Website Tracking Tool offered for Free at Traffic Swarm? Anyway...)
But have you considered the Paid to Surf websites?

Advertising on cash for clicking sites guarantees viewers, since they are paid to visit your site for 10 to 45 seconds each. The free exchanges are not always actually looked at, but many times they are just loaded into browsers one after the other; to hopefully add traffic to their own sites.

Some people use these cash for clicking sites as their work at home job. One recent example is of a lady that made $2930.31 in 2 months viewing Internet sites and signing up referrals under her. The idea behind these paid surfing sites is that eventually the surfers will click on the more interesting website offers, since they are making extra money on the Internet. Advertisers must make their offers hard to refuse and very credible, since these surfers have seen so many sites. Is your offer compelling? Maybe you should test it on these surfers? Or you might want to try it for yourself for extra cash. See my Squidoo lens on Cash for Clicking, to find out more.

And you may want to use the tools offered in this free little gem of a guide for help starting out promoting on the Internet. Indispensable Work at Home Information to Promote Yourself & Your Services. You need to know these fundamentals to start from "Zero" to "Paid Well" on the Internet. It's a Complete Get Started, Get Up and Go Guide! Start somewhere will you?!


Happy surfing! ...and Happy St. Patrick's Day :)
