There are so many ways to make money online, and the numbers are still growing. In this post, let’s talk about earning money online via forums. Yes, you can actually earn money just by being a forum member. If you don’t know it exists, take a look at Digital Point Solutions’ forum and Web Master Talk.
How exactly do you earn money? By revenue sharing program.
Revenue what? Revenue sharing program is a system that let’s the ad revenue be shared between all active members of a forum. As of now, I have yet to see a revenue sharing system other than the Google AdSense enabled program.
Is this legal? As of this writing, there’s nothing that states that it’s not allowed. If you are worried about the legality of it then the best thing to do is not to participate. Just to remind you, Google pays AdSense publishers on a per click basis as well as per impression so that means if you join a forum with a large number of users and has AdSense revenue sharing that goes with it, then it only points to more money, right?
Where to start? Revenue sharing is best enjoyed when you start a thread and by being the last poster in a thread. Which means, the more you talk the more AdSense impressions you’ll have. If you’re a Filipino then I suggest you start with our local forums like TalkPH and SEO.PH. Lately, I’ve been having a good with World Money Forum, so check it out, too.
If you really want to make a decent amount of money online, you need to have a dedicated amount of time for it. How much time? That depends on you, on what you’re going to do to earn, on how you would do it, and on how good are you doing it.
There are too many ways to make money online right now, some of them requires you to spend some amount of money in able to earn while some opportunities does not require you to pay anything, which means you earn your money absolutely without shelling out cash.
Be warned though, while there are many ways to earn, there are as much ways not to. To be on the safe side, be sure to get involved on the trusted ways on how to earn money. I hope this article will provide you with just that.
Provide information. One easy way to earn money online is to offer what you do best. Doing what you do best eliminates the need to learn too many new things. To give you a better view, if you are a sports journalist, you may want to join a sports news site and write for them or if like, you can put your own site and be your own boss. Same goes with a software developer, if you are one, then you may want to put up a site and let people know that you are offering your skills in software development, you can also sell your already made programs and let them pay you per download, by giving development support and by being an online consultant. A digital artist can sell his media, a writer can sell his book. Virtually any product can be sold on the internet, giving you big number of prospected clients.
Join an affiliate program. This program lets you get paid once for a sale or pay you for each members you refer to their network. Depending on how good the program is, that will define how easy you can refer a sale or a membership.
Display relevant advertisement. If you have a web site and your site has some good numbers of great content then placing advertisement on it could earn you a lot of money. You get paid whenever someone clicks to your ads or just by displaying them. Note that you should not click your own advertisement to earn money, they’ll know if you’re doing something.
Take get paid to opportunities. There are some companies that gives you monetary compensation when you do something they need you to do. There’s a long list of get paid to opportunities - Get paid to complete a survey, get paid to surf a site, get paid to post in a forum, get paid to discuss a topic, I could go on but you know where I’m getting to.
Put up a business online. If you’re going to take this one, you need to shell out a fair amount of money first. The question is, what business can you do online? For starters, you can be a web hosting provider, a domain name reseller, a SEO company, or a buy and sell shop. If you already have a business offline, you can bring it online. By bringing your business to the internet, more people can see what you have to offer and thereby giving you more prospective clients and may only bring you more revenue.
Caveat. If you know someone making a huge amount of money and if you want to do what they’re doing, always remember that not all things that provide good results for others may bring in good results for you. And because making money online needs a lot of time, patience, and sometimes technical skills, finding partners may help you achieve success in a shorter time.
How about you, how do you make money? Tell us about it below.
Domain market have come to invade bloggers. Short and English word domain name with high traffic are sold at a high price. Since good blogs generates heavy traffic, domain marketeers buy blogs for a decent amount of money.
There have been some notable blog sales, and one of the primary way of evaluating the price of a blog is the number of its subscribers. On average, people are paying to buy blogs for 25-35 dollars per subscriber.
I did some query on some of the popular blogs in the Philippines and grab their feedburner subscriber count then I multiplied the subscriber count by the going value of a subscriber at 25 dollars and here’s what I got.
Blog Subscriber Count Estimated Value (In Dollars)
From the list, Jehzeel Laurente could make 1,540,800 pesos if he’ll sell his blog today while Yugatech could make 934,800 pesos for his blog if it’s going to be sold today.

Another popular question from the blogosphere is “What blogging software should I use?”.
To answer that question, you’ll need 5 essentials things to consider on how to choose the right blogging system that fits you. Those are: Features, Cost, Control, Support, and Usability.
Here’s a rundown on the three best blogging platform available to you - for free.
Movable Type is simple, let’s you have total control, search engine optimized, looks good, and let’s you connect to dozens of social networks.
One caveat on choosing Movable Type, you’re free to use Movable Type so long as you’re the passionate individual blogger. That means, you’re limited to just one author and you can not have it for business.
Just so you know, Movable Type is blogging platform used by 12 of the Technorati’s top 100 blogs.
Probably the easiest if you’re the totally uninitiated. When I was just introduced to beautiful world of blogging, I opened up one Blogger account that until now the blog still stands. Hooray! Seriously, you simply sign up and you’re blogging within the next five (5) minutes. That’’s the reason why there are approximately 4.5 Million Blogger users in the world.
Be warned though, by using Blogger, you don’t have the level of control that you’d be getting if you’re using the other two blogging platform from this post. But if you”re just a newbie, I think it won’t bother you much.
Just so you know, Blogger is blogging platform used by 3 of the Technorati’s top 100 blogs.
PHP based, lots of support, almost all features of the two platforms mentioned above can be found here plus more, and the most important thing, you’re in absolute control of your blog.
Back by people with the passion for blogging, this platform has gone a rapid development since its release in 2003.
Just so you know, Wordpress is blogging platform used by 27 of the Technorati’s top 100 blogs and 0.8 of the total web sites.
That’s just the three of the most used blogging system. If you know a better one other than the three, let us know below.
A frequent question that comes up from a recently initiated bloggers is “Where do you get inspirations from blogging?”. My honest answer to that is, that depends. Why? There are a huge number of good bloggers out there - not to mention that there are approximately 70 Million blogs! We need to break it down a little bit.
First of all, know what niche you would like to blog about and then from there you can find the right inspirations for you. Decide whether you love writing about blogging, food, making money online, sports, and/or travel.
For starters, I’ll start this blog by posting the ten great blogs that comes to my mind right now that inspires blogging.
When it comes to sports, I almost always head to Yahoo! Sports and the Ball Don’t Lie section but Bleacher’s Brew is closer to my heart. The Brew talks about Philippine sports and everything the revolves around it. What I really like about the blog is that the person behind it, Rick Oliveros, knows what he write and you can tell that he loves what he’s doing.
A Photo Blog that deals with a wide range of subjects and topics. Chrome Asia, as claimed through their blog, is a work in progress. How much more could those [images] be more beautiful?
Content is King. That’s one of the prime things that I learned throughout the years of blogging. Copy Blogger is one of the coolest place on the web that teach you how to use the right words in the right way. If you need an advice on online writing then it’s a good inspiration for you.
The title tells it all. This blog about blogging is one of the more frequently (but very useful) updated blogs out there. Daniel Scocco’s blog ranks among the hundred most popular blogs in the world. You’d know why if you haven’t yet.
Aside from Smashing Magazine, when I need tips about technology, design and blogging I head over to Hongkiat. Hongkiat delivers great articles that are truly inspiring.
Why do you blog? Or, if you’re the uninitiated, why would you blog? Will you blog just because of money? Fame perhaps? Or will you write because you want to change the world?
When it comes to blogging about my favorite blogging platform, Wordpress, I check Justin Tadlock’s site. The articles on this site will help you improve your Wordpress site.
A clean sheet of paper. That’s the title of Seth’s latest post and that’s as clean as he gets that he has the most powerful blog about entrepreneurship, marketing and business.
Smashing showcases the most inspiring graphics, fonts, design tools, and tutorials. Since 2006, Magazine is delivering useful and innovative information for designers and Web Developers. They are what they say, they’re making your life easier.
Talking about Philippine Politics and History, I regard his opinions very valuable. Through his words, I’m having a better view of what’s happening in my country.
Sure there are other great inspirations out there. If you like, you can spit it out below and we’ll talk about it.
