Earners Club

On my previous entry, Free Reseller Hosting Program, I have introduced ResellersPanel which allow you to start your own branded name web hosting business without or only a little investment. Today, I just received a notification though email about a new company that offers almost the same to ResellersPanel - a free reseller hosting.

Introducing ResellerCluster (Beta) - a new company that also offers free reseller hosting. Compared to ResellersPanel, ResellerCluster let you have a web hosting business that offers both free and paid hosting. This is the main advantage of ResellerCluster againts ResellersPanel. Offering FREE hosting will easily drive traffic to your branded site which leads to countless sign-ups - more traffic, more profits.

How To Earn

1. Commission from professional paid hosting accounts sold via your hosting store is the main source of your income. The free hosted clients is also counted because when they upgrade, you will also get paid.
2. Place PPC (Pay Per Click) Advertising on your store such as Google Adsense. This is how you can easily convert your traffic of FREE Web Hosting users into money.

ResellerCluster is still in beta and I hope more and more improvements will be implemented later such as affiliate program, new templates and among others. They will pay your earnings via PayPal, MoneyBookers, Bank Wire & Cheque..

Again, on my previous post ” Monetizing Your Blog: Paid Reviews“, ReviewMe, PayPerPost, and SponsoredReviews are the big names mentioned that unite both bloggers and advertisers - helping bloggers earn money and advertisers to gain more exposure on their products and services plus a lot of benefits that the blogosphere are enjoying.

However, there are some want-to-be-advertisers (most likely bloggers also) that cannot afford to pay for the service. reviewback just get in and probably the best solution for those who cannot afford to pay bloggers at ReviewMe, PayPerPost, SponsoredReviews and other companies that offer similar service.

While traditional advertising and marketing is still affective, in today’s blogosphere the easiest and most effective way of promoting your content and website is by having fellow bloggers write about and link to your site. reviewback takes all of the work out of tracking down and negotiating with fellow bloggers. Instead, we provide a marketplace and trading ground where bloggers and copywriters alike can get in touch with one another and help each other increase their exposure. All you need to do is sign up, add your site into our directory, and begin swapping reviews with networked bloggers.

How It Works?

First, register at reviewback. Next, add your blog so that it will be listed in the marketplace. You can now have two options to get reviewed, either you request a trade reviews or just wait for others’s request. There is no limit to how many reviews you can receive as long as you are willing to review for others, they will also review for you. This is really a great idea - the more you get reviewed equals more link backs and more visitors.

On my previous post, Monetizing Your Blog: Paid Reviews, I have talked about how you can earn money from your blog by posting paid reviews. The previous means of monetizing your blog involved a third-party service that served as a bridge between you and the advertisers. In return, the company will take a cut of your pay.

With OIOpublisher WP plugin, you now have the choice not to used third-party paid blogging services such as Text Link Ads, ReviewMe, PayPerPost, SponsoredReviews, etc. With this awesome plugin, you can sell your own paid blog post and text links directly on your blog, therefore, you will keep 100% of your sales. What makes it even more better is that it has an option to let the advertiser itself write the post - you do nothing and yet you still earn money.

OIOpublisher is aimed at blog owners and webmasters. It allows you to sell paid reviews and text links directly from your own site. You retain full control over prices, sales volume, and how you conduct sales. What does this mean for you?

• No commissions taken by greedy middle men
• Full control over what an how you sell
• Keep 100% of your earnings

Yes, it’s quite possible for you to use this system and keep all of the revenue. Registration is free, the plugin is free and opensource, and there is no requirement to signup to the marketplace.

• Only Wordpress Blogs supported at this time
• View the Roadmap to see where we’re going
• Create and share your own modifications

There are a number of sales options for you to choose from, all of which you can view at a glance here. The plugin allows the sale, directly from your blog, of any combination of the following paid links and posts:

• home page, site wide, and specific page text links
• contextual links, automatically put into post content
• paid reviews, written by either you or the advertiser

You may want to see the live demo of this plugin and the screenshots on the Admin area. This plugin is FREE and you can download it here.

OIOpublisher is only good for popular blogs thus I don’t have to use it now in this blog. It’s because this blog is less than a month old and nobody knows this blog exists. Who will purchase a paid post if no one knows EarnersClub? Even though OIOpublisher has also its own marketplace, it is not much crowded as of the moment, thus there can be less potential adverisers there. Within a couple of months, if ever I want to put paid reviews here, I will still use those third-party paid blog posting service such as ReviewMe or PayPerPost. Using them will gain a little exposure of this blog to potential advertisers.

Most bloggers mainly used Google Adsense to make money from their blog. However, there are a lot of other methods that are more profitable and there’s a known value of your income. One of the hottest money maker for bloggers today is to accept and provide paid reviews. I know this way of monetizing your blog when PayPerPost was posted in frontpage at TechCrunch a year ago.

The process of paid reviews works almost identical to each of the company that offer these services, but they have different terms and requirements that you must follow. How you get paid? You will be paid by the advertiser if you post a review about their products or services on your blog - as easy as that. The amount of money you can earn depends on which paid blogging company you choose and the various parameters that your blog has, including but not limited to Google PageRank, traffic, Alexa and among others. Below is a list of some of the big name in paid blogging services.

ReviewMe
You get paid to review products and services on your blog. You have the ability to control what you will review since you are able to decide to accept the review or not. You will earn $20.00 to $200.00 for each completed review that you can post on your blog.

PayPerPost
Same with ReviewMe, you will get paid reviewing websites, products, services and companies. I think this company was responsible for making the paid blogging service popular to both bloggers and advertisers alike.

SponsoredReviews
There’s a little difference with SponsoredReviews with the two mentioned above. First, you have the ability to determine the price for a review with a minimum of $10. Next is they accept both positive and negative reviews. And they have also a longer time for the completion of accepted reviews, which is 7 days.

In addition, I listed below some companies that also offer the same kind of services or somewhat similar to them, which is “Paid For Blogging“.

• Blogsvertise
• LoudLaunch
• Blogitive
• Weblogs, Inc
  
• Smorty
• b5media
• bloggerwave
• PayU2blog
• Monetyz

If you have a new blog just like this one, it will take time before search engines will pick you up in their index. Therefore, you should expect 0 or a very little visitor that comes from search engines for a couple of months. One way to gain fast exposure and drive traffic to your newly created blog or content site is to use one of the many Web 2.0 tools like StumbleUpon and social bookmarking sites such as Digg, BlinkList, del.icio.us, Furl and among others to bookmark your own entries. This method seems a self-promotion, which is not good I think, but it’s the fastest way and is viral.

However, submitting to social bookmarking sites is time consuming - you have to visit and login each site and made few clicks to submit the same content which is a boring task. To simplify this process, OnlyWire comes to the rescue.
