Networking is a Key to your Online Money Making
Written by admin on May 29, 2008 – -Networking is a great way of building relationships, getting your name and reputation out there but also, networking can essentially be a path to success and making money online.
Since I started blogging sometime last year, I have built tons of relationships and friendships with other people who have tons of talents, but more importantly, they are willing to help. I used to try to do everything for myself but when it comes down to it, you have to help others to get help yourself.
And no, the A-listers probably won’t help you as much as you think!
But I’ve built my network group who has helped me in more ways than one. I mean, they’ve helped submit my articles to social media and bookmarking sites, helped get my site(s) out there, matter of fact, some of them sent me clients and sponsors/advertisers.
Now, as for the clients, I design cheap banners for people. Wait, I mean, I design banners for a reasonable price, pretty cheap compared to my competition. But a lot of people liked my work that they referred other people to me, and a lot of my blogging friends have done the same.
As for the advertisers, I think they mention me in various posts which attracts people to stop by my blog and if I impress them on sight, they may consider advertising with me.
See, networking can help set a path for you to make money online.
Additionally, when networking, it usually sends you traffic. Traffic = making money. Even if the only thing that is making money for you are PPC ads, then the potential traffic could lead to clicks which in turn, leads to money in your pockets (or bank account).
So, if you think you can make money online just by yourself with no help, yes, it is possible but just image how much more you could make if you had people to help you!

You Want to Keep Your Advertisers and Sponsors Happy!
Written by admin on May 22, 2008 – -Don’t overlook the small things because the more you overlook, the bigger these things will come back to haunt you. But a simple thing to keep in mind is: If you have advertisers and sponsors, you definitely want to keep them happy!
I know some people would think, “Hey, I got paid. The money’s in my back account already, if they want to renew, fine, whatever. If they don’t, again, I already have their money.” But don’t think like that, you want your sponsors and advertisers for the long run.
Think about it like this, if they renew their ad spot or whatever on your blog/site/forum then you don’t have to go through the hassle of looking for a new advertisers. And the more time it takes you to find a new one, the more money you’re going to be losing. And believe me, you don’t want to lose money if you don’t have to!
And if you need help on “How to get Advertisers to Buy Ad Space”, please let me know.
Also, if you have sponsors for a contest, let’s say, then you want to give your sponsors just as much exposure as you would for yourself. I recently held a “Get Traffic” contest on DatMoney.com and I got some good exposure and built up a lot of my stats but at the same time, it helped (or should have) every single one of my sponsors as well. And get this, none of them had to pay a dime because they all donated reviews and ad spots on their blogs. What I did was I made one of the options to write a blog post about the contest and include backlinks to every single one of my sponsors.
I can guarantee you that most, if not all, will sponsor me again in the near future if I ever held a contest.
Overall, you should always keep your sponsors and advertisers happy. It’s almost like that phrase, “the customer is always right!” And that should definitely be true.
Here are some tips on how you could help keep them happy:
- Give them a discount or package deal if they purchase a few months in advance
- Write a post to help give them some additional exposure or help with their SEO
- Put your sponsors before your own personal needs. Again, “the customer is always right.”
- Encourage all your readers to at least visit their site
See, simple things. People tend to overlook the simple things, but there you have it. I’m sure there are more but I’m at work right now and I’m not fully here lol!
