Online Money Making Secrets

Here's the information that you have been waiting for. I ran across this on YouTube. I tried it out and guess what. I made $1000 in less than 4 hours. There are some tweaks that you can do that will allow you to get the money in faster but 4 hours was OK for me.



Seriously, give it a shot, else do you have to loose. Share the love!

 

Twitter?

I went ahead and set up a Twitter account just for the heck of it. I was seeing "follow me on Twitter" on a couple of blogs and I read some posts about it so I decided to sign up. I figured you can't do enough marketing right?

I AM a little confused about it though. I guess I don't get it. Am I missing something?

This is the function of Twitter as I see it. Periodically you write up to 140 characters of whatever in this little box. People can opt to follow you on Twitter and you can follow them. When you reply to their short posts and that shows up on your "main page." You also have the ability to do a little customizing to your page. The way I look at it, it's basically like a mini-blog. People can subscribe to you (follow you), leave comments (reply to you), and read your posts.

So is there something that I am not seeing? I have never claimed to be the smartest person on the planet...just the 5th smartest.

 

Myspace or Yours.

In a new survey from Future Labratory, close to half of 18- to 24-year olds prefer spending 15 minutes of free time on social networking sites instead of watching TV, reading, talking on the phone or playing video games.

Web Pro News reports, "The survey found that women usually spent more time on social networking sites than men, and that the sites were increasingly being used to make money. Fourteen percent of users had made money from social networking sites selling T-shirts, artwork, and jewelry. Looking for romantic relationships and finding friendship were named as other uses for the sites.

This new generation of connected users are figuring out how to use these sites to explore new levels of creativity and develop new ways of doing business online."

I have run across several examples of blogs that tell you how to make money on Facebook or other social sites. Evidently there is software and other ways to amass a huge friends list and market to them as a way of driving traffic to other sites or affiliate links. I have both a MySpace account AND a FaceBook page. I set them up just to understand what they were all about. I guess it was a matter of continuing ED for me.

The main benefit that I have seen from both my Facebook and MySpace pages is that I have been able to receive countless, spammy or inappropriate friend requests. Granted I don't check them that often but I do see where the it could be time consuming. Now for me, Entrecard, StumbleUpon, MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog suck much more time from my coffers. I think I am going to have to do a better budgeting of time when I am engaged in my social media endeavors.

As I was looking through my stats the other day I noticed a new site that I had never heard of before. It's called SiteHoppin and I have received little bit of traffic so far this month. Anyone hear of it or participate in it? What social type sites are you participating in?

 

What Our Society Has Sunk To

I don't even know what to say.

The Mockery of The Last Supper.

And there's Miller Lite at the head of the line. Kudos to you Miller Brewing Company.

Sad, simply sad.

 

Digital DNA on Your Photos?

Did you know that a photo you take with your digital camera can be traced back to you? Apparently the person that leaked the new Harry Potter Manuscript didn't know. A few days before the release of the New Harry Potter book, you could get a bit torrent of the book on the Internet. This clearly violated several copyright laws and the person, who laboriously photographed each page, is now being sought.

The Times Online says that, "Every image that is taken on a digital camera contains Exif data, which holds information about the picture such as zoom, contrast, focus and 'distance to subject' measurements. It is typically used for 'trouble-shooting', so an owner can ascertain why a picture may not have worked, but it also enables a court, for instance, to establish whether a picture has been digitally altered."

"The Exif data is like the picture's DNA; you can't switch it off. Every image has it. Some software can be used to strip or edit the information, but you can't edit every field..."

This information brings a new dimension to social media. If you email or post an incriminating photo of someone or something on your MySpace, FaceBook or other social media site, beware, you run risk or getting caught.

Interesting information for sure. Just in case you didn't already know; "Big Brother" is always watching.

Do You YouTube?

Well apparently someone is. Jason Miller just reported on WebProNews that "YouTube Comprises 10% of all Internet traffic."

Social media like Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and other similar sites are getting more and more traffic every day. As Generation Y moves up in years, they are continually turning to the Internet for entertainment. The transition from simple web browsing to viewing streaming media will continue.

I agree that this trend will continue and lead the way for new applications, transforming the way we use the Internet.

According to Jason Miller, this recent YouTube traffic trend has surpassed, the once leading, P2P traffic in bandwidth consumption.
