Tonight I watched a new form of infomercial that aired on Canadian TV. It is run by a company called CallTV.com and they have this type of infomercial running in over 40 countries. This program is like a game show where large dollar amount can be won. The presenter puts up some sort of quiz or puzzle and then people call in on a 900 number for $1.99 a pop for a chance to answer the question. The catch is that not all callers make it to air to answer the question, yet they are still charged $1.99 just for calling in. The company that runs this program makes money on premium telephone calls most that never get answered by the host. The company either will buy air time on a local station or split the revenue. In a hour many people will call and only a few might make it on air. The amount to be made in a hour can be huge. The viewer is told about the cost up front and how the program works, but the odds of winning are very low. This company has managed to run a good scam on TV and in a legal way. If you Google Call TV scam you can see that in the UK they have many complaints. Now let me know how I can get some of this action, because it seems there is a lot of money to be made.

One thing I learned very early on with doing business online is to diversify. What I mean by diversify is to have more then one source of income online. If you do any affiliate marketing, then make sure the offers you run are available on more then one network. If for some reason an offer is pulled on one network then you have it on another network and do not lose your source of income. When I first started selling online I had a CD shop. All I sold was CD’s and this was fine for awhile, then Napster happened. You know what that did to my CD shop it almost put me out of business. Luckily this happened at the same time the DVD’s were taking of and I was able to move my business in that direction. As the trend for DVD’s died out I got into other items to sell online and realized that if you do not have more sources you can be out of business very quickly. Now when I set up a business I know the risk and I try to have more then one source of income. If something happens to one source I have a few more to make money online. If you follow the old saying don’t keep all your eggs in one basket you should do well online. Try to reach out to new sources of income, study trends and be ready to move when opportunity comes along. You do not want to miss new sources of income keep you a journal write down any ideas that come to mind. You want to get more back up plans ready to go as some of your businesses experience decline. If you follow this and make it a habit to have back up sources of income will not be without income when one of your business slows down or dies out.

There is a new way for Twitter users to monetize their account. If you have more then 200 followers on Twitter you can use a service called Sponsored Tweets to make money. Once you sign up for you free account you will be added to the Sponsored Tweets listing. When an advertiser wants to reach your followers you send out a Tweet written by the advertiser, or some advertisers let you write the ad to fit your followers tastes. When an advertiser wants to work with you a direct message in Twitter appears letting you know about the offer. You also have the option of not sending out the tweet if you feel it does not match your standards. The best part is you can make some serious money. The top bloggers are getting paid hundreds of dollars for just one tweet. The more followers you gain on Twitter the better the payouts. You can also use Sponsored Tweets to advertise. There are many celebrity Twitter users that reach large number of followers and for some advertisers these numbers are well beyond what they would reach with traditional advertising. The Sponsored Tweet service has been approved by Twitter and you will not have your account blocked or banned for using the service. The service also makes sure your followers know that you are sending a sponsored tweet by adding #ad or something similar in the tweet. This might turn into a revenue model for Twitter in the future or at least give the company ideas on how to make money with Twitter as they are still without a revenue model. Over all I would recommend anyone who wants to make extra money from their Twitter account to sign up for Sponsored Tweets and try running a few ad’s your audience will not mind if you do it every few days and send targeted messages.

It is not that hard to make money at blogging. If you have a passion about a certain topic then you can make money by blogging about it. Time and time again we find people online making money with the stuff they enjoy talking about. If you have built up any knowledge on certain topic others are looking for your reviews and advice. If you become a trusted source for the topic people will return to your site and you will soon start to have a following. It takes a little time to get to a profitable level, but it can be done. If you look at the blog of the more successful bloggers it did not start over night. The first post were not that great and it took time for their writing to develop.


Once a blogger found his or her voice people referred the site and return often to catch up on any new posts. You have to think of your blog as a business and also a community. Without the community you have no business. You want to build trust that what your are saying is truthful and that you want to share the best information with your audience. If you achieve this then when you do mention something that can be monetized on your site your readers will have more trust. If you are recommending then write a fair post that covers the good and the bad on the topic and your true opinion if this is worth your readers time and money. These are just a few steps that you can take to make your blog not only a true community online, but also a profitable business for the blogger.

It’s been awhile since I used Craig’s List to make money online. At one point I was making $500 a month from listing stuff on Craig’s List. With my efforts all going to affiliate marketing Craig’s List fell through the cracks. Looking around my storage area I have a lot of stuff I used to sell on eBay and a few odd’s and ends that are just taking up space. This weekend I spend time organizing and figuring out what I wanted to sell. Once I had a pile of stuff ready to go I took pictures and started to write the descriptions. The amount of stuff I have should bring in about $300 to $600 I am flexible with prices since this is stuff I just want to get rid of anyways. This is a great time of the year to get rid of some of your stuff. With the summer behind us more people are back online looking for deals and shopping. Go through your home and start looking for stuff to sell. You never know you might just might come into a fall fortune.
