Poker is one of the most old but popular games in my hometown, and the guys all love play , no matter old or young. It is really fun, and interesting. My father, mother, my brother and I used to play poker at home. But after I went to work, a city far away from my hometown, I find it really hard to have time and opportunity to play poker with my family.

So, we decided to play poker online twice a week. We choose the Pokerstars.com to play.

Direct Advertising

    This is great way of making some quick cash. Maybe you’ve already heard about service like Sponsored Tweets or adly.com. They both works the same way. You just need to make a tweet in your own words with a sponsored link. Before to join to these service I suggest you to increase the number of followers to your site. Many companies have certain requirements such as followers count, follower to friend ratio etc.

    2. Affiliate Marketing

    Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to generate income through your Twitter account. Just putting some affiliate links in your tweets(my favorite affiliate networks are: Clickbank, Commission Junction, Shareasale and Pepperjam). If you’ve already experience with affiliate programs through your blog, then facebook is look like. You need to place a link or ad and you earn only if you bring people to click on the links, and then make a purchase.

    3. Pro-Twittering

    Pro Twittering works like direct advertising but the whole tweet profile becomes an advert. In a nutshell, you actually tweet about products, and company pay you for tweeting reviews on their products, or by setting up a tweet account on behalf of a business or company.

    4. Brand Building

    Twitter account can be done to build a brand and promote a particular product. Rather than use it to direct review or advert, your tweets are intended to build a brand.

    In other words, you will be tweeting a concept which will be created around a particular brand. In this time of tweet for money, you could even pretend to be that ‘product’ creating its own tweets. This is a popular format for brand-building products.

    5. Pop-ups

    I don’t like popup as system of monetizing because annoying my readers too. Anyway, I’ve noticed somebody use this system to make additional income from twitter.

    The the concept behind pop-up ads is very simple. When reader move the mouse over the link rather than being connected directly to the site, they will see a small ad, either popping up in another window, or running for a few seconds which the reader may choose to click on before re-directing the person to other page.

    6. Get Sponsorship

    As almost everyone has some kind of social networking page, it is possible to try for sponsorship from a company or business using Twitter or Facebook account. Set up your Twitter page, and then try to get a good number of followers. Once you have a satisfactory count, you can then appeal for sponsorship through a tweet or you can approach the company directly. You must be really lucky to get a sponsorship.

    7. Use Twitter Profile Background

    Another utilized way to make money through Twitter is to place an advert on the background of your Twitter Profile. It is a method much used by company that want to publicize and grow their brand. A service I use is twittad. Just set price you want to sell your space, and the tool do the rest.

    8. Use Your Bio

    In your Twitter profile, you will find bio. This is the place where you put a few personal details. It is possible to use this area of Twitter to plug different product messages. Simply insert sales messages into the bio. This should be done with the company’s permission, of course, and they may offer you a sum to plug their products on your profile.

Even if a company is less involved directly in social media, its customers almost definitely are, and their conversations can end up a big story.

    According to a survey of business technology professionals by InformationWeek Analytics, most companies are relying on relatively low-tech solutions to the social media monitoring problem.

    A majority of companies were using tools like Google Alerts to monitor discussions of the firm and its competition across social media sites. Outsourcing the task or using a dedicated application for the purpose was relatively uncommon.

    Respondents’ approach to dealing with online comments suggested many were not ready for potential negative buzz on social sites.

    About a third of companies had a formal process for posting announcements to social networks, and more than a quarter had a plan for dealing with employee postings deemed inappropriate. But many were unready for the comments of outsiders: Just 21% had a process for responding to complaints on ecommerce sites, and even fewer knew how to respond to problems on Facebook or Twitter. More than two in five respondents had no processes in place for any social media content that might turn up in a monitoring program.

    While negative buzz can be a headache for brands, social media also offers an opportunity to be responsive to customers, show off good customer service policies, and even improve products or services based on legitimate complaints and suggestions.

    Meanwhile, a lack of a plan for responding to comments leaves marketers vulnerable. If a bad customer experience spreads across the web, an unprepared brand may be tempted into a knee-jerk response—likely not the most effective option.

The search engines are good tools for your searching, but if you are a business man, especially you start a internet business, you will find that negative comments can effect your business.

    I will tell you a real story, one of my friends who make WordPress templates with low price and good service. But one of his competitors write a post in a WordPress forum and said that he is my friend’s client, and find that the template is very bad. Unfortunately, this post comes first when people search my friend’s name in google, and really effect my friends business. And he had no idea how to remove this search results.

    In fact, there are many reputation management companies, and they provide seo services remove unwanted attention from your personal name or business. If you get the similar situation, I suggest to find them to resolve the problems.

With the changes in the Google adwords rules, you will not be able to promote your affiliate links directly.

      So if you want to promote your affiliate products, you will have to send the traffic to your own website url which will be your squeeze page. This is the fastest way that you can use to send traffic to your website which you will be able to build your own list at the same time.

      Although this method is the fastest way to get traffic, you will need to invest some money into the advertising. In order to have an effective pay per click campaign, you will need to test on your adwords campaign. All these testing will cost you money. It can be the fastest way to get traffic but it can also be the fastest way for you to lose your money too if you do not know what you are doing.

      So the best alternative to using Google adwords will be to use article marketing. It is one of the best way to get targeted traffic for free or very little price. Once you have earned some money already from using this method, you will have the money to do the testing to get the most out of your adwords campaign.

      If you have the money that you are willing to invest, it will be worth your efforts on learning how to do an effective adwords campaign. One thing that you have to take note is that you will actually need to squander some of the money before you will start seeing results. If you are not ready to invest, the next best alternative will be article marketing.

This article will give you a big head start over most.

      This is a PPC ( Pay Per Click ) system. You only pay for advertising when an interested person sees your AdWords ad and clicks on it. The amount you pay per click is dependent on many factors.

      Some of the factors that go toward deciding the price per click are:

      1. The amount of competition bidding on that keyword.

      2. The site value that Google may give your site.

      3. The amount of clicks on your ad itself compared to the amount of exposures your ad receives (CTR),

      Even though a keyword may start at a high price per click, its popularity will bring the price down. Popularity is the result of people using Google to search a term or phrase and choosing your ad. As your Click Thru Rate (CTR) rises you will see the price per click go down. I’ve had keywords start at over one dollar and fall to about five cents a click.

      Some tips to lift your your CTR and thus lower your PPC (Price Per Click) are:

      1. Use the keywords that you are bidding on heavily in your ad.

      This will make the keywords in your ad show in bold and stand out when someone does a search on Google using your keyword.

      2. Encasing your keywords in [square brackets} or the use of “talking marks” will ensure your ad relates to what is being searched. Without the [square brackets} or “talking marks” around your keywords, your keywords will cover a larger unrelated area giving your ads more exposure but less clicks. This will force down your CTR (Click Thur Rate) and force your price per click up. Not a good thing.

      3. The use of negative keywords. Negative keywords really bugged me because I read all about them and their use but didn’t know what they were, the articles never actually explained what or how to make them. Just that it was the thing to do.

      Negative keywords: if you were looking for people searching for the keyword “pink” but don’t want people who are searching for “light pink” then you would ad the negative keyword -light to your list of AdWords keywords the same way as you add the keywords you are bidding on.

      Did you notice the minus sign (-) next to the keyword above? Here it is again, -light. You put in as many negative words as you can think of to narrow down searchers to the ones you want.

      4. With AdWords you can go locally or globally. You can limit your ad to only viewers in a particular city, state or country. If you live in New York City selling meat pies, then you may not want to sell them to china. Limiting your ad to a specific location, country and language will increase the likely-hood of great targeted traffic clicking your ad and bringing the average price of your clicks down.

      With AdWords your aim is to get highly targeted cheap traffic to your website and to make sure you are profiting from the use of AdWords. To see if you are profiting you have to answer these questions:

      A. How many clicks does it take to get one sale?

      B. How much do I profit from one sale?

      Divide A by B to see if you are in profit using AdWords or losing money! If you are in profit great, if you are losing money your keywords, negative keywords and your ad need more fine tuning or changing. You may even have to reconsider what you are trying to sell or your sales copy. A customer follow-up auto-responder will help improve copy sales. People don’t often buy the first time they see a website, but you are off to a much better start then most.

      AdWords gives us the ability to give people what they are searching for and to profit from that service. Start slowly with a small daily budget and have fun.

      The opposite side of the AdWords coin is AdSense. For more information see my AdSense article. Read on:

I am hear to tell you that it is not that simple. Building a website for PPC is a much different process than building a search engine optimized website. Although a profitable website should be balanced to function well for PPC and SEO, since with PPC you’re spending your hard earned money on traffic, you need to make sure that your web design is achieving results.
      However, if you can understand Google AdWords (and really master it), you can achieve that best targeted traffic in the world and have the greatest control out of any other advertising source on the market today. It is my goal to teach you to master this difficult task in this chapter, so you can prevent making the same mistakes 99% of internet marketers make when they start out.
      Introduction to Google AdWords
      Before you get started, you need to know the nature of a Google AdWords campaign. First, and I know that what I am going to say might be controversial, Google AdWords is NOT Pay Per Click. At one time, it was Pay Per Click, but Google has made significant changes to its system in the past few years.
      The reason Google is not Pay Per Click is because the prices you pay are not directly related to a set amount or what others are paying, but rather the amount of traffic you actually send to your website. In other words, you could be paying $0.50 cents per click one day (for maybe 10 visitors per day) or $0.10 cents another (for maybe 500 visitors per day). Basically, you’re not paying per click, per say, but per 1,000 impressions. This is called Cost Per Mille (CPM).
      The amount of clicks and impressions your ad gets do not solely determine your cost per click, however. Google determines the price you pay with a technology called a Quality Score. Not only does it affect the price you pay, but it also effects the position of your ads and the amount of impressions people see your ads. The quality score is made of the following elements (and in my experience, in the following order):
      Your keyword’s Clickthrough Rate (CTR)
      The more people that click on your ad, the lower you’re going to pay per click. If you are targeting a specific keyword, you should get your CTR up in the beginning, even if that means going outside your budget a little, so that you’re cost per click will stay low. This is important so that Google trusts your “relevancy”.
      Your daily budget
      Believe it or not, having a low daily budget will result in a high cost per click. Sometimes, when I’m first starting out on a campaign, I will change my daily budget to $1,000 in an effort to get lower prices on clicks. I know that I will never reach $1,000 dollars because the keywords I bid on are pretty targeted, but I always watch my AdWords account all day long in the beginning.
      The relevance of the keyword and ad text to its ad group
      This is one of the most important things, because it is directly related to your CTR. Your keywords need to me directly related to your ad text and each relevant keyword or set of keywords should be organized into their own ad groups. This is the number one mistake internet marketer’s first make, you must separate all of your ads into groups. Google will initially charge you more per click if it knows by past performance of the keyword that it will fail with the ad/keyword arrangement.
      Your landing page quality
      Finally, your landing page does make a significant impact on your CPC. The days of throwing AdWords on Google straight to sales pages are over, you need to have a content driven website or you will not survive at this business. Even a small articles section will make a huge impact on your CPC.
      Now, if you dive into Google AdWords right now with no experience whatsoever, you will most likely loose thousands of dollars, trust me, I made the same mistakes everyone else had in the beginning and I’d like to give you some tips to ensure that you don’t go broke.
      Not having a keyword appropriate display URL
      In Google AdWords, there are two URLs: the display URL and the hyperlink URL. The display URL is restricted to a small length and can be any URL of your choice (even if it’s not the same one you are using to send the user to). The problem is that most people simple type in “www.yourdomain.com”, which is common sense to do. However, by doing this, they are missing out on some valuable advertising space. Remember, Google will bold keywords in your advertisement that the user searched for, so you need to have the keyword scattered in as many spots as possible. So, instead type “yoursite.com/YourKeyword” or “Keyword.yoursite.com”. Also, remember to remove the “www” because it is not necessary and also capitalize beginnings of words in a phrase or domain name.
      Not separating Google Search Advertisements from those on the Content Network
      You need to have an entirely different campaign for advertisements that are used on the Content Network (a.k.a AdSense). You should also bid differently on the Content Network than you would on the Search Network. Unlike the Search Network, the Content Network does not place relevancy based on your quality score, rather, what content is on your website.
      Not turning Optimized Ad Serving off
      Google, by default, will serve your ads using their algorithm so that you maintain your budget and not run through all of your money all at once. Although it’s beneficial, because it automatically determines the effectiveness on how their served, it’s a better idea to turn the option off so that you can make the decision yourself. Remember, Google is trying to make money, that is their bottom line.
      Not organizing your keywords into Ad Groups
      This is the mistake most people make. By default, Google creates one campaign with one Ad Group and all of your keywords go into that one Ad Group. The problem you are not able to stay organized so your ads are created to be vague enough to work with every keyword BAD IDEA! I recommend having hundreds of Ad Groups if you have to, so that your advertisement is as targeted as possible. This will lower your CPC, lift your Quality Score, increase your CTR, and hopefully increase your conversion rate.
      Not split-testing your advertisements
      Create two advertisements for every Ad Group. Google will automatically rotate them and choose the one that performs best. Continue to change out your lower performing ad for a one better than your higher performing ad until you achieve the results you’re looking for. You can also turn this ad serving capability off and rotate 50% of the time and you can almost instantly see which one performs better.
      Not using negative keywords
      Negative keywords allow you to not show your ad when the negative keyword is in the search phrase. This is important when you want to weed out disqualifiers, such as “free”.
      Not having a relevant website
      So many beginners think they can create an ad, set up a page to collect e-mail addresses or make a quick sale, and throw AdWords money at the website and make an income off of it. If you do this, Google will penalize you almost immediately In fact, if you do not have relevant content on your website, good luck getting that past Google because in my experience it ALWAYS lowers your Quality Score. Even though you’re selling a product, it is very important to have a website full of quality content that people want to read. This could be fixed by creating a blog on your website that is free and full of great articles. Just make sure it’s updated frequently!
      Allowing the campaign to continue when you’re not making money
      If you’re product costs $20, spending more than $20 on one Ad Group is causing you a significant loss. Keep your conversion rates high by fixing what breaks quickly. Remember, you could go through a significant amount of money before profits begin to rake in.
      Not split testing your website content

      People have been using Google Adwords now for years. There are many people who have reported making six figure incomes or higher by simply using Adwords to drive traffic to their website. On the other hand, there are those people who complain on a daily basis that the price of Google Adwords keywords have gone up substantially since they were first offered and it’s now getting very difficult to become profitable using Google Adwords. It really takes a marketer examining his offer, marketing funnel, and advertising costs of Adwords to determine whether or not they are not making any profit at all, turning a small profit, or banking huge returns using Adwords.
      Since the birth of Adwords there has been many other avenues of advertising that social networks and search engines have tried to create using Adwords model.
      In this article, I will specifically look into Facebook. The huge social network of high school students, college students, and many other individuals has grown by leaps and bounds since it was first created. Now that Facebook has a considerable amount of traffic they have decided to try and turn a large profit by offering advertisers the chance to advertise their offers on their network.
      At first, they used a platform called Facebook Fliers. The platform boasted to be able to show your offer per thousand impressions. The rates were very cheap and on first looked it seemed as if it was going to be a very promising program. Well, as months went by, Facebook Fliers proved to be very ineffective for marketers. The main complaint now was that Facebook was charging only for impressions, and instead they should switch to clicks. The reason being is if a user “clicks” an offer it shows definite and genuine interest in the marketers offer.
      With the advice of internet marketers all over the world Facebook switched to its newest program, “Facebook Ads.” Facebook Ads now charges each marketer per click instead of per impressions. With the birth of this program, marketers all over the world are boasting huge returns now using Facebook Ads. The CPC (cost per click) is low due to their not being much competition in niches and it seems as if this is the best model Facebook could have switched to.
      The internet and advertising is constantly evolving, and it seems as if Facebook is right on top of the trends and how quickly things can change. I suspect that this social network will be around for decades to come and will be able to monetize itself very well by showing advertisements to its audience of close to 100 million people.
      Now, it’s time for YOU to cash in on the huge returns of Facebook Ads. My tip to you is to find an uncovered niche and take full advantage of it before someone else does!
