While AdSense Publishing seems to be an easy task, it actually involves a lot of work and a lot of time: registration, setup, content creation, directories/search engine submissions, promotion, links exchange - all this could take months/years before you'll make your $50-$100/month . Why? because traffic creates revenue. Your hope for high revenues does not increase your traffic. About a month ago there were no good PPC coupons, so I decided to try MSN AdCenter. I was too lazy to build landing page, so i decided to use some product that has "in-house" or simplified affiliate program. I chose one of those automatic ad posters to craigslist. The one i chose had a free demo, several different versions priced from 67 to $99 and 40% affiliate payoff. Here is the result of 1st month referring to this product from MSN: Pic1:1/2 month of my advertising budget at AdCenter Pic2: My sales total for 1 month Pic3: This is my profit. My "investment": $5 to activate AdCenter (and get $75 credit) + 15 minutes of time. I spent about $10 of $75 and generated $264 I didn't built create anything valuable (like domain with tons of links which i could sell), but i didn't waste too much time and got paid. Here is a short "how-to" Step1: Find a product Linkshare Sign up: linkshare.com The following merchants could be found at Linkshare: Wallmart, Macy's, Office Depot and others. CJ Sign up: cj.com Discover Card pays $40-$100 per sign up Blockbuster - $38 VistaPrint has tons of free offers and it pays $3.50 for each free order Plimus Sign up: Plimus.com Software, scripts, databases - most items have high referrals Affiliate network is not the only place where you can find good opportunities. For example this new money transfering service pays you $25 for sign up and then allow you to refer your friends.. Each friend will receive $25 and you will receive $10 for each referral. Also, troll through abestweb.com forum and snoop on what people are talking about. Step 2: Decide if you need site Site might or might not be needed depending on the network you chose. Some networks require you to register domain with them in order to sign up for for affiliation (ex. CJ.com), others -do not (ex. Plimus) If you need a domain/site, jump on this deal: Free domain, free site, free hosting for 1 year (cancel after or renew for $14.95 - from Microsoft Office Live) If you don't need site, you could use your affiliate links "as-is", or find some ShortURL service/establish your own.
