How to monetize your blog

Everyone wants to know how, but only few manage to do it. What am I talking about? Monetizing your blog! In this post I’m sharing some tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way and some general advice if you’re considering to take your blog to the next level.
First of all I’d like to tell you a little something coming from a personal perspective. I’ve been running this blog since a good two years. I’ve build up an engaged audience that grows steadily every month and I’ve also build up a pretty good social media following, if I may say so myself.
Per post I spend on average about 4 hours, from shooting it, editing, writing the article, including relevant links and posting on social media channels. The blog marketing posts I’ve been writing lately probably take even longer. It might sounds like I’m bragging, but my point is: If I have an engaged readership and I put time and effort in creating high quality posts, then the brands that want to get featured have to pay for it. Receiving product in exchange for post isn’t sufficient: a wardrobe full of clothes and the newest beauty products isn’t going to pay my bills.
Before I’ll talk about blog monetization more detailed, you have to know that it’s not possible to demand payment from potential advertisers from the very beginning of your blog existence. You have to be able to look at yourself to judge what your blogs value is. I’m the first one to admit that one year ago my blog didn’t deserve as much on a monetization level as it does now. Play212 lacked consistency and my English wasn’t nearly as good as it’s now. This is a bit off topic, but do you know how much more time it takes for a not native English speaker like myself to write articles? Probably twice as much. That said, let’s get on to the ways you can earn through your blog and more importantly how to communicate money with advertisers. If you didn’t already notice, I’m extremely passionate about this topic, because I feel many bloggers out there settle with less then they deserve.

1. Make a media kit

Having a media kit is fundamental when you start working with brands. It’s a bit like a resume when you apply for a job, but a Media Kit represents everything that has to do with you and your blog. A few important things to mention in your media kit is your stats (unique visitors, page views, social media followers), brands you’ve previously worked with and a little bit of background information about yourself and your blog. You can either make this a separate document or attach it with your media kit, but brands that are interested to collaborate with you would want to know the prices for certain services you offer. Let’s say I’m offering the service of a sponsored post, in which I promote a brand or product by writing about it or wearing it. Besides writing down a price, it’s very important that you specify what a sponsored post includes. If you’re going to promote the post on your facebook page, Instagram and a daily tweet for a week, then mention that.

2. How to Talk Money 

Opening the subject of money is never easy when you’re working with people. The first thing that should make it easier for you to determine where you stand, is to know your blogs value. Find out how many unique monthly visitors your blog has, how much time you spend to write a post from A to Z. What have you got potential advertisers to offer? Once you’ve got that figured out and you get an email from a brand that would like to work with you, kindly ask them what budget they have in mind for the opportunity. Then soon enough you’ll find out whether it’s a paid opportunity or a collaboration on the basis of product-in-exchange-for-post. You can decide case by case whether it’s something you’d like to take part in for the given conditions. 
When you’re starting to treat your blog like a business, you shouldn’t wait until collaborations come to you. Reach out to the brands that you think suit your blog and you never know what it might bring you. It’s important though to always approach brands with a very self-started attitude. If you reach out by email, then explain briefly what kind of collaboration you have in mind and how that would benefit them. No one has got time for vague emails with “I thought maybe we can collaborate” without giving any further details. 

3. Commission programs

Probably one of the biggest breakthroughs in blog monetization are commission programs such as Rewardstyle. If you’re not familiar with it: Rewardstyle enables bloggers like myself to earn a commission over the links people click and buy things of. When you’re using those links consistently in your outfit posts, it can bring you quite some income. I’m personally only familiar with Rewardstyle.

4. Media agencies

From a personal point of view, I believe that media agencies are the future for bloggers who want to monetize their blogs. These agencies are basically the ‘middle man’ between bloggers and brands, and connect the two of them together. Let’s say I’m in charge of marketing at a brand and a new collection is going to launch in two months. I know that fashion blogs offer a great way of advertising, because they often have an engaged readership that respects and follows the sense of style of the blogger in question. However, I don’t have the time to research the market and find bloggers that are the right fit for my brand. At this stage I’d approach a reputable media agency that represents bloggers. Each of those bloggers that are signed at the agency have a media kit available, so I have a look to see which ones suit me best and then I come up with a budget that I’ve got to offer. The media agency takes a percentage and so does the blogger in question who will do a sponsored post for my brand.
Negotiating the price and the collaboration itself is time consuming, that’s why it’s great if you’ve got someone to simply give you an offer with all details provided and it’s up to you to say yes or no.

5. PR agencies

If you’d have asked me two years ago what a PR agency does, I wouldn’t have a clue. That’s why I figured giving a short explanation wouldn’t be bad. PR (public relations) has everything to do with enhancing and promoting brands. If I would start my own label, it would be best for me to have a PR agency to help me to get media releases out there, make sure newspapers and in this new age, blogs write positively about me. The reason why PR agencies work with bloggers, is because they like to see the brands that they represent featured on blogs to gain more exposure. PR agencies play a role in the circle of blog monetization and it’s important to maintain a good relationship with them.
I hope these insights in the different factors involved in blog monetization were helpful. Do you have any thoughts on this subject? Please don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments below. You’re also more than welcome to ask any questions that you might have.

3 Keywords Important to Affiliate Marketing: Responsibility, Transparency, Leverage

I have been in the affiliate marketing business for a very long time. It’s initial appeal is still just as appealing to me today. Mainly that involves the idea of “limited (or no) responsibility.” Let’s face it. There are more exciting things to do than to sit in front of a computer all day, or than just working in general.
You see, I have been in the position of sourcing products, buying (and getting delivery of) stock, storing, finding customers, fulfilling orders, etc. and it’s more involved than I want to be day to day. I am in a large part a one man show, and the less parts that I have to be in control of, the happier and more efficient I can be.
Affiliate marketing has changed and evolved over the years… significantly in fact. There is an increasing need to be more transparent (both for legal and ethical reasons), and as a result, more responsibility became important. Is that a bad thing? Depends how you look at it. To me, that extra bit (it’s not a lot) of responsibility meant the opportunity for more leverage.
Read the rest of this article for a full explanation of the above.

Let’s Take a Deeper Look at Responsibility

I’m going to deviate slightly from affiliate marketing for a minute and discuss drop-shopping because many people I talk to think they are exactly the same thing. But as you will see, getting into drop-shopping is slightly more involved than affiliate marketing. This should put into perspective how little responsibility affiliate marketers do in fact have.
I really love the idea of drop-shipping. It eliminates the need to buy stock and store it in a warehouse. You can “sell other people’s products” and they will ship it for you… just like with affiliate marketing… but there is some added responsibility. There is a key advantage in some cases over affiliate marketing which many may not have thought of, and I will discuss that in a second, but let’s talk about the added responsibility first.
In some cases with drop-shipping you may have to manually enter orders into a system that the vendor provides. Many will have digital automation for that process but in the case where you are selling products from multiple vendors, it’s less likely.
The big thing here though is you will need a secure system to collect payment and credit card information, and also handle customer support. And you will also have to analyze activities like cart abandonment and make attempts to improve on that process. This may be considered a step up from affiliate marketing, but I feel it’s a pretty big step. Your job/life can be easier than all that.
However I will say this… with this scenario you may be able to tap into niches that you might not otherwise be able to get into with standard affiliate marketing. You see, there are a lot of products still not easily available for purchase online. The vendors may be short-sighted and feel that only “in-person physical purchases” are reasonable for the given product. Or even if they are available online, it may be that only bulk purchases are available or even that they are in a marketplace that hasn’t opened the doors to affiliates.
These scenarios are ideal for those that want to get into the drop-shipping business, albeit with a little added responsibility over affiliate marketing. Sure the barrier of entry is slightly higher but this could mean a lot LESS competition. Let me give you an example.
I have a friend who runs a successful web site using the drop-shipping model promoting products that were once only available in retail stores. The products are very specific pet accessories. In the “offline” scenario, pet shop owners would become resellers and would have a catalog of products and a few samples in the store. The customer would make the purchase through the store and the owner would order the customized accessory through a digital interface and get a commission. The product would then be shipped directly to the customer.
Can you see how a digital version of the catalog could make for a great opportunity for an online marketer who is comfortable with the extra responsibility that comes with drop-shipping?

At any rate… let’s get back to affiliate marketing shall we?

What’s Your Responsibility to the Customer as an Affiliate Marketer?

Now, with affiliate marketing, you can essentially provide a link to someone and “refer” them to a product. The link is unique to you, as you probably know. The rest (sales process, order fulfillment, customer service) becomes the responsibility of the merchant or vendor.
However… with the need for more transparency initiates a need for more responsibility, even if just a little.
A very simple, completely hands off approach to affiliate marketing could be accomplished in the following scenario:
You write an article that discusses a problem that someone has. This article could just be black text on a white background. At the bottom you can describe a solution. Add in a blue link (an affiliate link) to get the solution. The link may be tagged in such a way that it auto-adds the product to the merchant’s cart and the sale is credited to you as an affiliate.
After they left the page that had your blue affiliate hyperlink, the customers were no longer your responsibility. This practice still works and is still in effect to a large degree. The customer was not aware of any middle-person in the transaction. Well, truthfully, we as consumers know that there are always many many people that “profit” from a single transaction. There’s usually always a middleman or two, then there are the employees involved with design, creation, delivery, and on an on… but there are laws online that require some added transparency requiring you to let the potential customer know that you will profit from any sales made after clicking your link.
With that transparency my friend, comes some added responsibility. So now the scenario changes. Somewhere near the hyperlink it must be stated that you may profit from the sales. And this may bring up some questions or concerns for the potential customer. Here are a few:

1) If you are getting a commission, am I paying more?

2) Who the heck are you?

3) Why should I let you profit from my purchase?

How to Become a Responsible Affiliate Marketer?

Ok… so now you are letting potential customers know that you may profit from their purchases if they click your link. Now what?
A practice that I am seeing more and more of, something I feel I may have initiated… is letting the customer know right away that “you are NOT paying extra if you buy through my link… I simply get a ‘cut’ because I referred you to the product.” Say something like that… but more eloquently.
Does this distract the “flow” you had going. Certainly, but it has to be done. I can’t speak on legal compliance, but it is more ethical to be transparent don’t ya think?
Now… a lot of times people want to know who you are and why they should be listening to you in the first place. Yet, many others don’t care. If what they read resonates with them, they may not care who delivered the message. However, for those that want to know, link to a profile.
Beyond that, if discussing the problem and referring them to a solution isn’t enough, give the person even more value (or someone else will). How can you do that?
Offer the customer some complementary products (in the form of bonuses perhaps) or information that is pertinent post-sale. But wait, once they click that link, they are gonzo, right? Yeah usually… but here is where leverage comes in.

Use Leverage With Your Affiliate Marketing Business

At this stage we are discussing a problem, describing a solution and telling the kind folks that this is a business, and although we care about you, we also want to earn a living… but before handing them off to the “other person’s” cart or sales funnel or what have you… let’s first get some info so that we can stay in touch.
Now we want to say… “hey, before you buy, give me your email so I can stay in touch with you. I have a really cool product that goes well with the one you are about to buy that I’d like to give you for free. No strings. I want to earn my referral commission and intend to over-deliver. I will also send you a series of emails every few days that will help you make the most of your new purchase. I will send how-to videos and articles, and send some inspiration messages. Oh, and I might suggest more stuff later down the road when it’s relevant.”
You might even want to add in extras like what other people thought of your bonuses or complementary content (the social proof aspect for YOUR “product”).
From there, you grab their email, and redirect them to the product. Then let the auto-responder (automated email delivery system) work it’s magic.

In Conclusion

You have to be more transparent in your marketing. With that though comes added responsibility. But before you think that takes the allure out of affiliate marketing, please understand that this added responsibility offers the opportunity for more leverage (in the form of repeat sales… er commissions… from the happy customers).
Affiliate marketing is a value added business. Do it right and you will be rewarded. And you *may* become extremely wealthy from your efforts (no guarantees of course). Put yourself in the customer’s shoes and decide how they should best be treated. Decide what would give them the most value from their current position, then deliver it (in an automated and leveraged way).
Leaving product creation and order fulfillment, and for a large part, customer service, to someone else is what makes affiliate marketing so attractive.

List of Sites to Earn Lots Of Money Online Easily And Without Stress

Hi Everyone!  

All the sites i have listed below to make money online are legit sites verified after extensive research. You can earn a lot of money from each of them. I have joined these sites only after going through lots & lots of reviews and payment proofs posted on these sites as well as the forums and all these sites have good reputations. They are all free to join and no investment is required.

And the best part is its quite easy to earn from all these sites and doesn't take much time.  I have also included online games in the list which you can play to earn real money! Yes you heard me right:). I have given separate strategies for each site to make lot of money from each of them.
Click on the images or links on each site name to join the site and start earning money.  All these sites pay through PayPal. I recommend you join at least THREE sites below to have the maximum earning potential. Well here it goes:-

1) Paidverts

Paidverts is a very high paying free earning site. You have to view ads for 30 seconds each. Sometimes there are very high paying ads, even more than 1 dollar for just one ad. All countries are accepted. The minimum payout amount is just $2.00 to PayPal.
You can earn a lot from paidvert and the best part is that its a highly trusted site and payment is guaranteed. Paidverts is owned by "Mytrafficvalue" which is a very reputed established site and has been paying its members on time from many years. You can easily make $2 in a short time and cashout to PayPal. Click on the image above to register in this site and start earning.
Earning is very easy in this site but you need to understand how it works. The ads are assigned to you only if you have BAP (Bonus Ad Points). To get BAP, you need to see activation ads of 30 seconds each. One activation ad will give you 50 BAP and you can see maximum of 8 "activation ads" in a day.

Strategy:
So here is the strategy. After logging in everyday, watch all the 8 activation ads to get 400 BAP. After some time, ads will be assigned to you. Watch these ads to get paid. When each ad is assigned to you, your BAP will decrease. So remember to click on your 8 "activation ads" everyday. If your BAP becomes zero, you wont get any more ads, till you watch more "activation ads" next day. As soon as you make 2$, dont cashout. You should invest it to make much more by buying the 1$ advertising package.
For every $1.00 advertising package you purchase, you get 3100 BAP free which will assign you ads worth $1.55 in the next few days. So for every $1 you spend, you will get $1.55 back and along with that you will also get 50 user visits (for 30 seconds each) to any site you want and also around 125 banner impressions. To do this, go to "Buy Ads" and click on "Create Campaign". Now enter your site/blog there to get 50 free visits from others and also 1.55$ worth of ads in the next few days. So everytime you make a dollar, buy the 1$ advertising package to get 1.55$ back. As you keep doing this, your earning will keep increasing if you are active on the site.
Also know that once an ad is assigned to you, it will be available for only 18 hours. If you dont click it in 18 hours, it will be assigned (recycled) to someone else.
It may take some time for you to get ads even if you have lot of BAP. After i registered to this site and got my 400 BAP on the first day, i did not see any ads that day. But next day i had many ads and one ad which paid me 20 cents to watch it for 30 seconds. So just be patient and check the site again before 18 hours are over. The higher BAP you have, the higher paying ads you get. Recently i got ads which gave me 5$ for watching it for 30 seconds. This is because i have collected a lot of BAP in this site.

Also there is a very useful feature called "ad filter" using which you can get only higher paying ad. If you really want to earn a lot from this site without viewing a lot of ads this is highly recommended. It costs 10$ to set it once and it is for lifetime. But its worth it and makes earning easy and fast. I used it one time by paying 10$ and set my minimum ad value at $0.25. So i get only ads which pay above 25 cents. You can set it higher too. For example, you can set it so that you only get ads above 40 cents, 50 cents etc. This ad filter is highly recommended and you will make that 10$ back in short time. If you dont use the ad filter, you may get more low paying ads and you have to click more ads to make the same money.
You can earn still more by getting referrals. You will earn 10% of all ad purchases your referrals make and also earn 5% of the value of all ads your referrals watch. 
Note: Once you click on an ad, you get 3 boxes with 3 sentences. You need to just copy those sentences and paste in the boxes. Then you will be able to see the ad. Copying and pasting those sentences is very easy. This is done so that the members have more exposure to the ad and this is the reason the advertisers are ready to pay such high prices for the ads. Good luck :)


2) Marketglory

Marketglory is a free game from which you can earn a lot of money. Sounds awesome right!! This is a very high paying game. In a week u can earn more than 2 euros by spending two minutes everyday.

3) Ayuwage

Ayuwage is another high paying well established site that has been online and paying since February 2010. This is a very popular and a fan favourite site since you can make atleast 30 cents a day clicking ads alone. You can get a lot of ads paying 0.015 cents and a few even paying 0.025 cents. Also the ads have a short timer and you will get credited instantly. The site is very quick with payouts too. Once you reach 5$, you can cashout and you will have the money in your paypal within 2 days.

But be careful. They are very strict with rules and if you are found cheating you will be banned after 3 warnings. But there is nothing to worry if u can just follow the simple instructions of viewing an ad for a specific number of seconds.

There are many other options to earn too. All countries are accepted. It pays through Paypal & Payza. The minimum amount is $5.00 which you can reach easily since you can earn a lot in a day. There is also an auto surf option to earn in which you can just open your browser and it will keep earning by itself (You dont have to do anything.You can just leave your computer and go outside.)

Note: You may not see any ads to click, when you first login. This is the reason many people quit the site thinking ads are less. But they are missing the opportunity to earn from one of the best sites online due to lack of info on how the site works. Please just check the site multiple times a day and then you will hit the jackpot. You will get all ads to click one after another and make more than 30 cents at one go.

Strategy:

The ads are very high paying compared to other sites. Lot of ads are available and new ads keep coming throughout the day. Just from clicking all these ads we can make a lot of income. On top of this, we can make unlimited money through referrals. The site allows unlimited direct referrals which makes our income limitless. 10% of your referral earnings go to your account and so you can keep on referring people to this site and keep making more and more profit from each of them.

5) SportsPlays

What if I tell you I know a site where you can bet on sports completely free of charge (first of all sport betting is pure joy for anyone :) ) and you get to keep your winnings in real cash. And if you lose, you get more free money to bet on. Too hard to believe? You can checkout their forum section to see payment proofs. For the smart ones out there who might challenge me with the question of how they are getting so much money to give their members, the answer is quite simple. :) They are funded through advertising revenue i.e. all the advertisements they are showing in their site.

SportsPlays is a free sports betting website where you can bet for free, and you can win real cash. All it takes is a little luck, or skill, or intelligence when it comes to predicting sports outcomes and you can end up with atleast 100$ in your PayPal account. You do have to reach the $200 dollar mark to cash out to PayPal which is not that hard if you make the right choices. :) Everytime you reach 200$ in your FreeSportsBet account, you can cash out in the ratio of 2:1 i.e you are paid 100$ to your paypal account.

Strategy:

Here is how to make money from the site. You are initially given some amount of money to start placing your bets. You can use this money to bet on matches of NFL, NBA, college basketball, MLB, NHL, soccer, tennis, boxing MMA, WNBA etc. You can make plays on sides (up against the spread), moneylines (straight-up) and totals (over/unders). You can put straight bets, parlays and also teasers.

As you keep winning, you will have more money to bet, thereby making larger profits. Even if you lose all your money, Freesportsbet will just keep reimbursing you some amount of money to start playing again! Also, if you make bets for 7 consecutive days in a row, they will add 70 cents to your bonus account. Aside from betting, there are other ways you can add money to your account in freesportsbet. They have a cash accelerator where people can sign up for offers to make more money. You can also watch videos and take surveys, all to add more money to your account so that you have more money to place a bet. If you are quite lucky, you will reach 200$ in a short time.:)
 

6) GoalTycoon

 

GoalTycoon is a new game by the makers of marketglory. With the continued success and growth of Marketglory, they introduced a new free football management game which pays real money just like Marketglory. All countries are accepted. When you reach 20 € on your account you can withdraw this money to your PayPal account.
A new player will receive a predefined team from the start, composed of 11 players and 9 reserves, as well as 2 trainers. You will get a football team and a club park, which consists of a stadium, hotel, restaurant, clinic, parking lot, administrative building and training field. You will also have a team of advisors that will help develop your club, giving information about the necessities of the club stadium and other things.
Popularity is an important factor in GoalTycoon. As your popularity level becomes higher, so will your incomes, becoming substantial. A higher popularity entails more ticket paying fans that will come to your team’s games. Therefore, your club will be making more money. The popularity of your club will keep increasing as you win more matches.

Strategy:

You need not do anything. The matches will be automatically played and you will get paid after every match played in your home ground. Just remember to login daily.

You will get paid from fans whenever a match is played in your home ground which is usually once in two days. Keep converting all the money you earn in local currency to gold and then to euros. These euros are added to club funds and when you make 10 euros in your club funds, you can transfer it to your manager funds and then use that money to buy more seats for the stadium. Each seat bought from market gives 100 more seats to the stadium and they will increase the money you earn from each home match. When you have more euros, upgrade the "Hotel" to higher levels so that you get more energy each day and you will win more matches.

You can start earning higher ticket incomes from the beginning itself if you invest some money and use it to buy more seats for your stadium. Otherwise you will have to just wait for some time and earn that money from the game and then upgrade the stadium.
Also you can earn more from referrals. Your referrals will pay a tax of 10% from each of their incomes. Along with that, you will be also be paid by the game every month in gold for all the active referrals you have. 

 

7)  GoldenChase

Goldenchase is another game where you can earn a lot and is very easy to play because you dont have to do anything here and you will keep earning money passively. In this game you have to just buy dwarves who will keep mining crystals for you. You can collect these crystals anytime you want and they will keep producing them without stopping. These crystals can be converted to real money (USD) which can be cashed out. These dwarves are for lifetime and they wont die. So they will keep making you money forever and you can keep buying more of them so that you can keep making more money.
The minimum payout amount is just 1$. All countries are accepted. You can cashout only to Payeer account. Payeer account is free and very easy to register. From your Payeer account, you can easily transfer money to other payment processors like Paypal. So just signup to a payeer account here - Payeer
 
Strategy:
You can earn from goldenchase for free without investing any money. But if you invest some money you can earn a lot more money very quickly. If you dont invest your earning will be very slow. I will explain the earning srategy for both cases but it is highly recommended to invest some money in the beginning.
If you prefer to play  without investing money, then just login to goldenchase everyday and click on "Daily bonus". You will get anywhere between 10 to 100 gold. You can collect the daily bonus once every 24 hours. So after a few days when you have collected atleast 100 gold, go to "Dwarf cave" and buy one "Grumpy Dwarf". Once you buy it it will keep mining you 10 crystals per hour for lifetime. So keep collecting daily bonus everyday and when you have enough gold buy another dwarf. These dwarves will keep collecting crystals which you can convert to gold and buy even more dwarves. So as you keep buying more dwarves your income will also keep increasing everyday and after some time you will be earning good money. But in the beginning your earning will be less and slow.
To convert crystals to gold, go to  "Trade shop". 100 crystals will give you 1 gold. And 3500 gold will give you one dollar (USD) which you can cashout to your Payeer account and then to Paypal. But dont convert the gold to USD and just use them to buy more dwarves so that you can earn much more.
To earn a lot of money from the site much quickly, you should invest some money. The good news is that currently goldenchase gives 55% extra bonus with your first deposit and also free dwarves if you invest 3$ or more. Use the invested money to buy more dwarves. So you will have a lot of dwarves in the beginning itself if you invest and they will be producing a lot of crystals everyday. You will make your invested money back in a short time and after that you will be making good profit. The income you make per day will keep on increasing everyday.
Also you can make more money when others join the game under you. You will get upto 30% of money whenever your referrals deposit in the game and also from the referrals of your referrals upto 3 levels.
Note1: To convert gold to USD (real money), you need payment points. You get payment points whenever you or your referrals invest money and also from special type of dwarves. To convert gold to 1 USD, you need to have 1 payment point. So ,for example, 100 Payment Point allows you to withdraw 100 USD from the game. To get more payment points, buy the dwarf "Sleepy" which produces 1 payment point everyday. This dwarf is a bit costly and you can buy it much quickly if you invest money. You can buy more of this dwarf later (or also the dwarf "dopey" which makes 2 payment points per day) so that you get a lot of payment points and so you can cashout a lot of money from the game.
Note2:  In the main page of goldenchase, it says that "Paypal payments are temporary stopped". This is just temporary but dont worry, you can still easily withdraw money to paypal from this game. To do this first open an Egopay account. It is free and very easy to open. Having egopay account is very useful because there are many other earning sites which only pay to Egopay. So now you can withdraw money to Payeer account from this game and then send the money in your Payeer account to your Egopay account. From your Egopay account you can easily send money to your Paypal account by going to the exchanger section in Egopay.
Same way you can use Egopay to invest in Golden chase. For example, Paidverts allows you to withdraw money directly to Egopay and you can invest that money in Goldenchase to make good money here too. Good luck :)


8)  Neobux (MiniJobs)

Neobux is one of the oldest and most trusted site which pays instantly to Paypal as soon as you request payout. All countries are accepted. It pays through Paypal, Payza(Alertpay) and Neteller. The minimum amount to cashout is just $2.00 on the first cashout. You can easily earn a lot of money from Neobux through "minijobs". You can easily make $2 in short time and cash it out instantly to paypal/payza.
Note: The higher paying jobs will not be available to you in the beginning itself. You need to finish 100 low paying tasks/jobs. Once you finish more than 100 tasks well, you will be considered as a reliable member who follows instructions properly. Then the high paying jobs will be available to you.

Strategy:
After you log into neobux, go to "View Advertisements" and watch the 4 orange ads. You need to do this only once and this will unlock the minijobs section. You can continue viewing more ads if you wish. Anyways then go to Offers=>Minijobs. There you can see high paying jobs but they are disabled for you. You need to complete 100 low paying tasks to qualify for the higher paying ones. But these low paying tasks are not always available. So keep checking the minijobs section and whenever you see some jobs available to you, do them. Follow the instructions properly. They will be easy to do. Once you complete 100 tasks like this, you will be promoted to a higher level and the higher paying jobs will be available to you. 
The higher paying jobs are also easy to do and you can make money faster. For example, there are very simple tasks like doing a google search or classifying objects into categories which pay a lot of cents for each page of task done. But know that there are a lot of people doing these tasks. So they can get over quickly. So do the tasks as soon as you have free time and dont keep them for later. If you find any job difficult to do, just skip it and do another job or wait for a better job to come in the next few days. The minijobs are available throughout the year and so you can earn a lot of money easily like this. Have fun! :)

9)  GoldenBattles

GoldenBattles is another online game where you can have fun and earn money at the same time. All countries are accepted and minimum cashout is 15 euros to paypal. It is a very interesting game and quite addictive.

It is quite easy and simple to play where you fight against aliens with a click of a button, and for that you earn money. You can work once per day, and later you can buy your own company, become president/minister of a country etc. This game has a very active social community and the chat section is always filled with fun conversations! :)

Strategy:

Here is the strategy to make good money from the game. During registration you can choose to be a citizen of any country you like. Choose "Hungary" because the bonus is high in that country and you can make good money there (Dont join Indonesia because its currency is weak). If you join as my referral (by clicking on the image above), after you login, i will send you a welcome message explaining everything about the game and how to play to make good money. Anyways, in short, you need to fight till your stamina is over (stamina recharges 1 point every 20 minutes). Then work at night before you go to sleep. Do this everyday and in a few days you will have a good amount of money and you will be able to cashout 15 euros in a short time. You can make much more money by having some referrals. You could use the money you get to earn still more through a lot of ways, for example by opening companies. Have fun!


10) Probux

ProBux is a Paid to Click (PTC) website i.e. the website pays you to click on advertisements. You earn money for clicking on advertisements daily. 

Probux is a very popular PTC site that was officially launched on August 28, 2012, and has demonstrated great potential and rapid growth, standing out well ahead of tons of other PTC sites. 

There are four daily fixed high paying ads and a lot of other ads available throughout the day. You can earn hundreds of dollars from this site without any investment and just with few minutes everyday. The strategy to do that is explained below. All countries are accepted and minimum cashout is 5$.

Strategy:

Here let me explain the ProBux earning strategy in brief.  You can start from zero and end up with hundreds of dollars with a bit of patience and daily clicking.  ProBux lets us rent referrals. Rented referrals are those referrals which can be rented from the game for a limited time(30 days in the beginning which you can extend later). First thing to do is to click all the ads daily (Atleast the 4 yellow ads which pay 1 cents each). You will need atleast 60 cents in your account to rent the referrals. You can reach this goal faster if you do the "tasks" along with clicking ads everyday. The tasks are quite simple (classifying posts & tweets into categories, identifying images, google search etc) and they pay good money per page of work. 

Once your account balance reaches atleast 60 cents, preferably 1$, you can invest it on renting referrals to earn much more. Transfer that money to your rental balance and rent 3 referrals. You will earn a certain amount of money for each click by your rented referral. For renting 3 referrals it will take $0.60 ($0.20 each) for 30 days. Keep the rest of the money in your rental balance. This money will be needed to manage your referrals (recycle any rented referral in case they are not clicking). Everytime your balance reaches $1 go for 3 more rented referrals. Manage your referrals by renewing the ones who are clicking often and recycling the ones who havent clicked from 5 to 8 days. Continue this process and after a while you will be making good money per day. When you have enough money upgrade to golden membership which will earn you much more with each referral click. You can cashout your money whenever you have above 5$ but i recommend you use that money to rent more referals so you can earn much more. Also try to get some direct referrals (other people to join under you). They will help you to earn money much quicker since you get a percentage of their earnings for life. Happy Earning :)

11)  GoldenTowns

Goldentowns is another very fun and addictive browser game which pays real money or 24k real gold. The graphics of this game is the best i have come across in any paying games. In GoldenTowns there is only a limited amount of virtual gold (100,000 GoldenTowns Coins), which is distributed gradually in a steady pace by players. The entire amount is covered by a growing amount of real gold in bullion 24k. The easiest way to win real money is to sell virtual gold for real money to other players who pay to your paypal or other account. Each gold you sell, will get you a lot of euros to your paypal/payza account. You can also change your in-game gold for real 24k gold which will be sent to your address by the game company.
So in  goldentowns there are only 100,000 gold in circulation, 100% backed up by real gold. They constantly keep increasing the real gold reserve indefinitely so your virtual gold is more and more precious every second.
Your goal is to to build a great city, that has production, and military capabilities, and ultimately to earn lot of virtual gold that can be transferred into real cash, while having a lot of fun throughout.

Strategy:

Every new player gets a town. In the beginning, focus solely on developing infrastructure and increase production. You earn gold from bonuses, from selling resources, from wars and also from your referrals.
Start with the production of wood, stone, vegetables and food. Iron and clay is not needed much in the beginning of the game. Produce some unskilled workers in the city hall. You should upgrade stone, wood, meat and vegetables production factories to level 2 whenever you can and for this you will need to upgrade the connecting roads to level 2 too. Mainly build a gold mine and you can keep extracting gold from it everyday. Simultaneously start upgrading the road between the city Hall and the lower right corner of your town. Then build a market right below the middle bottom house . This will allow the three bottom houses to be upgraded to level 2 which will increase your happiness level. Then you can build a school and then train some police officers and other skilled workers. Upgrade your resource buuildings (wood. meat etc) to level 5 when you can. Continue like this and you will have a strong city soon with troops and weapons and then you can conquer other cities & countries if you want. You can also invest in the game if you wish to speed up earning money.
Also get some referrals and they will give a good extra income every day. Players referred by you will pay you 10% of all revenues, including gold forever. You can even sell your referrals for gold. Have fun and happy earning!

12) Ipanelonline

This site is exclusively for people from India. In this site you complete simple and short surveys to earn money. The best part about this site is even if you dont qualify for a survey, you will always get paid atleast for trying it! :)

All you have to do is share your opinion to make money. They conduct market research studies through online surveys that are completed by everyday consumers like you and me. For each survey you complete you will receive cash and even bonus entries into competitions or sweepstakes draws giving you the chance to win further cash & prizes.

Strategy:

Just attempt to do every survey available. Your earning for each survey varies, and they depend on the length of the survey you have taken. The points from surveys are immediately credited without delay to your account. If you complete the survey, you get the entire money for that survey. If you do not meet the condition, you still get some money. Also you can refer others to join under you and make more money. Have fun!!

13) Clixsense

ClixSense is one of the most well established PTC sites and has been online and paying since February 2007. Restricted countries from where you cannot join are Afghanistan, Iraq, Antarctica, Cuba, Iran, N.Korea, Nigeria & Vietnam. All other countries are accepted.

Clixsense offers the highest paying ads to view compared to other sites. There is an abundance of ads available for viewing every day. People make hundreds of dollars with clixsense and so the site is very popular and respected. You need to stay with it for the long haul. With a few minutes a day you can really generate a nice income stream with ClixSense. There are several ways to earn money with ClixSense : By viewing advertisements, completing tasks, participating in surveys, winning in ClixGrid, downline click commissions, upgrade commissions, commission from referrals's purchases and so on.

Strategy:

Here I will brief you on how to make money from clixsense. Start clicking all the ads daily. You keep getting new ads throughout the day and some of them are high paying. You can play ClixGrid every day for a chance to win up to $10 USD per day. As soon as you reach $17, upgrade to Premium Account. This will make your earnings skyrocket since a lot more high paying ads are available to click, you earn much more when your referrals click, you will be eligible for the 8-tier referral earning and you will have double chances of winning clixgrid. The key to success in ClixSense is through referrals. You are paid for referring others and you also get paid everytime your direct referrals click on ads, purchase advertising and everytime they and their referrals upgrade to premium through 8 levels! After you upgrade to Premium, you should get some people to sign up as your direct referrals.  Even with a few direct referrals you can make decent money. But more the merrier. People are making hundreds of dollars because they were able to get a lot of direct referrals. 

Also you can go to "tasks" and do some minijobs to earn more money. These minijobs are the same ones which are there in Neobux. So in case you did not qualify for a minijob in Neobux, you could give it a second try in Clixsense. Good luck and happy earning. :)

I recommend once again for you to join at least THREE sites listed above. Each of them has a lot of earning potential. You can give your feedback about this post in the comment section below and ask any general queries you have. I will try to answer them as soon as possible.  I'll keep updating whenever necessary and add new sites if they have good earning potential.  

 

Goodluck & Happy Earning!!
