People who have researched Internet promotion know that it can be a great revenue source if you’re willing to work hard. It can also make a big difference if you can somehow incorporate what you are interested in. For me, that means I use my experience with writing to make money.
One of the ways I make money by writing on the Web is actually fairly easy, once you get the hang of it. I create income writing on HubPages. If you’ve never heard of it, HubPages is a community blogging platform that allows you to earn ad revenue from your content. Each HubPages hub (an individual web page) has the ability to generate as many as 5 types of revenue: Google AdSense ads, Kontera ads, eBay links, Amazon links and text links to virtually any other affiliate program you can think of. As the content creator, 60% of the page views that generate revenue go to you. HubPages gets the other forty percent. The exceptions to this rule, however, are affiliate programs, because all the income resulting from clicks on affiliate links belongs to the authors. It takes a while to learn how to create good, money-making hubs but the revenue potential makes it worth it.
One of the main affiliate programs I use on my hubs is TweetAdder, which is TweetAdder Twittter software. It used to be downright unfashionable in serious Internet marketing circles to use Twitter, but I suspect that may change as a result of in the way Google sees Twitter. Twitter tweets are indexed now by Google, which means they appear in search rankings. They’re subject to freshness, but they can help you get a hot topic ranked in Google very quickly if you have good PageRank and a lot of activity on your Twitter page. Even more significant is Google’s new opt-in social media program: if you list all your social networking connections and your hubs, blogs and web sites, your links will be shown on page one of the Google search results when anyone in your social network searches for a keyword present on your blogs and sites. This program is still in its infancy, but it definitely has potential to make book lovers social networking sites an accepted form of traffic generation.
I optimize these Google gifts by using TweetAdder to post tweets to Twitter all day long. This intense posting activity has caused my Twitter page to become a PR5 in just several months. To seed the automated software with tweets, I just upload a text document with 100s of short posts in it that have bit.ly links to my hubs, sites and blogs. They’re then posted at whatever rate I set it at. It also helps me garner more Twitter followers, when I decide I need to add some, and handle other Twitter aspects, such as sending direct messages to welcome new followers, unfollowing people and other cool tasks. I appreciate TweetAdder, because not only does it help me simulate an active account on Twitter with only moments of effort per day, but it also generates affiliate revenue whenever someone clicks through from my TweetAdder review and purchases it. It’s especially satisfying to be able to generate income from a product I use a lot and truly like.
