Increase Your Bukisa Earnings

I have been a member of Bukisa ever since the Summer of 2009. I do enjoy writing and posting content on the site but I am having trouble making a significant amount of money each money. Don't get me wrong, I have been paid by Bukisa several times and it is a great addition to earning passive income. However, I want to get my earnings much higher than they are. Which is why I am writing this article. It is very important to understand something before you can utilize it to the best of your ability. Which is why I think I have taken enough time writing and earning with Bukisa in order to understand how you can earn more with Bukisa.

A very important thing you should remember is how you make money online using Bukisa. As of now, you can only make money through page views. That is why page views are going to be the only thing you should focus on when writing for a site like Bukisa. Don't worry about writing to get a click on the ads because you will not earn anything from it, at least for now. It's important you know what you need to write about so you can get a good amount of page views.

First, you need to make sure what you write about is popular enough that people (several people) will want to read. No need talking about something that only your friends joke about because it will not earn you squat at Bukisa. The best things t to write about is what is trending. What ever is the big talk that is happening in pop culture, world issues or anything that a huge ratio of people might be interested in.

Things to keep in mind are: is the topic interesting, relevant, entertaining or informative. When you are thinking about writing a bukisa article you should keep these four attributes in mind. If they have all four of them you are on the right track to having a great article. You don't have to have all four to write a popular article but at least 2 of them should be related to your article. You could use a great program like Google Trends to find ideas on topics you might want to write about. Or you could simply look at the front page of a newspaper or online and see what the big news scoop is. You shouldn't write news articles just use the news to get ideas on an article you can write about. For example, maybe there's a news article on how expensive apple laptops are getting. Then you could write an article about where you can find cheap apple computers.

Another thing that is important when writing Bukisa article is to place related content at the end of the article. The key to getting money from Bukisa is by how many page views you receive which is why it's important to keep readers on your articles. If you have 2 articles about how to make money online post it them on bukisa and put one in a related content section of your article. More views equals higher earnings.

Always use the social networking system for you articles. Bukisa has an OK traffic rank but it can use all the help it can get. Join sites like StumbleUpon and Twitter and post a link of your article on them. It will increase your earnings drastically if you do.

CashCrate.com Review

I wanted to take this time to write about CashCrate. It is a website that is claiming to pay you for doing services, signing-up for free services and products. I have signed-up and have been using CashCrate for a while.

It's free to sign-up and you never have to pay a membership fee to be apart of the site. If you are familiar with making money with online surveys than you will enjoy CashCrate. It works with the same functions as sites like Treasure Trooper and Deal Barbie Pays. Basically, you sign-up for free memberships and offers and in return you will earn commission on it. I really do like CashCrate in that it is a very simple premise and you can make money online from it. The layout of the site is also not as annoying as others so you won't start to get a headache why completing surveys and what not.

The site has several free offers and surveys that you can earn money from every day. A great part about CashCrate is that it will tell you which offers require your credit or debit card information and which are free. You can do the free offers and still make a good amount of money each month from CashCrate. I should keep in mind that you won't be earning $2,000 a month from completing free offers on CashCrate or any survey site. But you can get a nice pockets worth of money each month.

The minimum amount you have to earn to receive your check is $20. As of now, you can only get the money from a check so make sure your address is correct. They will send you a check the next month if you earn at least $20 in previous month. For example, if you earn $80 in January, you will receive your $80 check in the mail in mid February. If you want to make some extra cash online I suggest you give CashCrate a try. It's free to join, it costs you no money and you can get free products.

How to Write Articles On Bukisa: Types

Bukisa is still a very difficult site for me in terms of making money. The problem is that you need to figure out what type of article you need to write for the site. Many sites have certain types of articles that each site has. There is one type of article to write on eHow, which is How-to articles. I found an article on the official Bukisa Blog that has the Highest Earner on Bukisa giving tips on how to write and earn. In 2009 he made $2.527.10 with only 198 published online. It is a very inspiring article which you should read. Basically, he tells us that you should write articles that are interesting, entertaining, educational and relevant. If they have atleast 2 or more than you should go right ahead and write about it. If not, than you are wasting your time. If you haven't yet, I suggest you sign-up for a free account at Bukisa and start getting paid to write.

I looked through a lot of his articles I discovered that he has a lot of list type articles. I would say the 3/4 of all his articles are lists about "The Worlds Fastest..." or "The Worlds Largest..." One of his articles is "The World's Fastest Trains." And he has about 10 or 20 trains which are the fastest trains in the world. He simply does the research, includes a picture of it and then writes a paragraph or two on each train. It's a very simple formula, but a very good one. Therefore, I do believe that taking advantage of the List format is important for earning on sites like Bukisa. The only way you earn from bukisa is from how many page views you recieve. The list format or the "Worlds Greatest..." format is a great way to get visitors. They learn something and who doesn't want to read about something cool like "The Most Expensive Cars."

I believe I am going to take advantage of this and see how it works out. I do not believe I am going to make as much money, at first, as this Nobert Bermosa because now that the "Secret" is out many people will copy his advice. I do hope Nobert the best in 2010 but I am definitely going to take advantage of the "Best of" type of articles. The great thing about this is because you can have so many possibilities for articles of that nature. I'll keep you up-dated on how this works out for me. Hopefully this idea will give you a better idea on how to make money online from Bukisa.

Work Smart, Not Hard Online

I have been thinking about the way I work online and if it is affecting how I earn. I have been making money online for a few months and I must say that I do love it. But I do not think I am working in a smart way. I can say that I have been working hard because I wrote over 200 ehow articles in less than a month in the summer. But, I don't think working hard is the best way to make money online. You have to work in a smart way so you can really see your money grow. Writing one really good article every day is a lot better than writing ten short and crappy articles a day. That is why it's important to really think about how you work, I believe the saying is "Work Smart, not Hard."

I work on several sites and I make money from all of them. However the way I work is probably not the best way. As of now, I have been trying to work on one site at a time and just forget about the others. Instead, I should have been working on all the sites so they can all grow at the same time. Neglecting one site while working on another is going to stop for me. Instead, I will work on several so I can maximize my income for each. I think I will have a weekly 'to-do' list instead that will get me to do some work on most (if not all) of the sites. For example, I might say I want to get at least 3 articles, 10 amazon links, 20 bookmarks and 4 blog posts. I don't have to do all of these tasks every day. I might write an article and 2 blog posts one day and the next I could post 6 bookmarks. This will help me avoid burn out and really keep it energized to making money online.

For January and February, I have an idea on which sites I want to work on. These sites are going to be Ehow, Amazon, Triond, Redgage and Bukisa. I think this will be good because I have a good amount of sites so I don't get bored and diversify my earnings. That's a very important thing when you make money online anyway. If you are just making money from one site and if that site shuts down or something happens where your earning drastically decrease you are going to panic. I can write articles one day, put some bookmarks another day or edit articles that I have already written. I'll keep you updated on how this change increases or decreases my earnings. I hope this helps you and gives you some ideas on how you can make money online.

How To Make Money on Redgage

Redgage is a website where you can make money online by several different ways. You can either create bookmarks of other sites, write a blog post, post pictures or upload videos. There are also extra ways to earn money on Redgage which I will go into detail about. My point is that with all of these ways a person can really make a good amount of residual income online. That is why I wanted to write this post. To give a better understand of how you can make money online with Redgage and really maximize your income there. I have done a great deal of research on the site and I think I found some great ways to almost double your earnings. In a few weeks I will let you know if these ideas worked for me. The first thing you need to know before I get into detail is how you earn. You make money from pageviews, bonuses and if you win a daily contest.

Submitting Content: You earn money online from Redgage every time someone views your content. That means every time someone just goes to your content you will make money. As of now, it is about a $1.00 every 1,000 page views. Which is good. Some people on the internet are able to earn 1,000 page views a day and even more. The type of things you can submit to Redgage are links, blogs, writings, pictures and videos. If you write on other sites you can bookmark your articles on Redgage. It will earn you more page views, give you a backlink and make extra money online from using Redgage.

Make your Content Popular: Now that you have it posted you should try to get visitors to check it out. You can post your links on social marketing sites like Twitter, StumbleUpon, Facebook or Digg. Also, make sure you have good tags on your Redgage content so it will be easier to be searched for. If you have a site, post your profile link on it and just have people visit it from there. The key to getting more page views (and essentially more money on redgage) is by promoting your work.

Do the Daily Contest: Another way to earn quite a bit of money online is through the Daily Contest that Redgage does. Never have I been apart of a website to gives away so much money every day. They will offer you $25.00 if you are the winner. They do this contest every day and each day someone has successfully one. How this website finds the money is behind me, but people have been winning and earning money online through the contest. As of now, you have to get raffle tickets in order to win the contest. The person with the most raffle tickets at the end of the day wins the money. This is how many tickets you get for each task you do (taken from Redgage site):

You can raffle tickets for doing any of the following:

• 2 raffle tickets for Submitting Knowledge Based Content¹ to RedGage
• 10 raffle tickets for Mentioning RedGage² on other websites
• 20 raffle tickets for Inviting a new user³ to RedGage

Knowledge Based Content are Blog, Document or Video Posts that add knowlege to Redgage. Anything from a How-To article to a Review is accepted. As long as it teaches or informs the reader you will earn the points. For a better understanding, I took this from the Redgage Site aswell:

¹Knowledge Based Content is any content (blogs, videos, or documents) that teach, inform, or add knowledge to the RedGage Community. Knowledge Based Content must be considered informational. Examples of knowledge based content are How Tos, Reviews, Articles, etc.

²A mention is when you reference RedGage on another website and you include a link back to any page on RedGage. To get credit for a mention, you must fill out and submit this form. The submission will be evaluated by the RedGage team, only after the submission has been reviewed and approved will points be awarded. Any reference to RedGage that is negative will not qualify as a valid mention. You may only receive credit for a maximum of 3 mentions per domain each day. Any mention written by someone else is not a valid submission. Each submission must be new and unique.

³Invited users must be active in order for the raffle tickets to be valid. Invites may be deemed invalid at the discretion of the RedGage Staff.

Featured Bonuses: If your content is featured on the front pages of Redgage you can earn a bonus of anywhere from $2.00 to $8.00. There is no real technique of how to earn a bonus yet. The staff basically browses through Redgage and picks whatever content they think is suitable. So in that, anything you post on Redgage has the potential to earn you a Bonus, which means bonus money.

Other Ways To Earn: You can still make money online by using Redgage even if not directly from the site. If you are an affiliate marketer you can post a few affiliate links on Redgage. Maybe you can sign-up to be an Amazon Associate, ClickBank member or an Ebay Affiliate. And even if no one makes a purchase on it, you can still earn money by using Redgage. So either way, you have the opportunity to make money online.

How to Write a Good Ehow Article

I have been writing for eHow for a while and I am still learning so much about it. I am starting to understand what really makes money on eHow and what does not. It is a very simple formula and it needs to be followed if you want to start making a solid income from eHow. There are a few ways to earn from eHow as well as ways you can use it to earn from other sites. I will share with you what I have learned so far.

You probably have heard this before, but keywords in your article are very important if you want to make money online. Without good keywords and proper seo optimization, you will not see any page views. If you don't see any page views you will not see any money. That is why it's important to use sites like Wordtracker and Google Adwords Keywords Tool to find words related to the topic of your article. Your keywords should be in your article as well as in your title. Doing this will increase search engine optimization and you will be ranked higher on sites like Yahoo and Google. This is very important because the bulk of your traffic will come from search engines.


Another important thing you should do is make sure your articles are long enough. You can not have short articles because search engines will not pick them up. A good article will probably be anywhere from 400 to 800 words in length. That is enough for the search engines to pick your article up and start making you some extra money. There is no use to writing articles of 100 to 200 words because no one will want to read them. You want readers to spend a good amount of time reading your article so it gives them a chance to click on the advertising.

Speaking about advertising, it is highly important to write articles that are ad friendly. Meaning, you need to write articles so readers will almost have to click on an add or to. The way to do this is by not writing articles that simply give the reader the answers, or all the answers. You still want the readers to keep searching for the answers which makes them want to click on the ads. An example of an article you should not write is "How to tie your shoes" (this is a bad example but it still is clear in helping me get my point across). Writing artilces like this may get your a great number if page views but no one will click on the ads because they have the answer right there on your article. A better article to write about might be "How to invest on the Stock Market," which is a bit more broad in scope. You may not be able to answer all of the readers questions about investing in the stock market but some of the ads along the side of your article will.

You can also add related articles at the end of your eHow article. This will increase your page views and it has the potential of increase your residual income. It will keep the readers on your articles as well so. Another thing you can place in the Related content is affiliate or even referral links. If you are a member of affiliate marketing sites like Commission Junction or Amazon Affiliates you can try and make some income using eHow. For example, after you write your article about how to invest in the stock market you can put affiliate links to books on the stock market from amazon or commission junction. Or, maybe you have reviewed a site which has a referral link, you can place your referral link at the end.

When you think you are not making any money or increase in funds from eHow, keep writing? You need to persevere and just keep writing more articles until you do start earning $400, $700 and over $1000 a month in passive income. Set smaller goals for yourself and keep raising the bar when you reach it.
