Adult Affiliate Programs Payment Proof



I don't want to spend too much time talking about adult content because I know it may offend some of my readers, but in an effort to show full disclosure of my various online income revenue streams I though it was necessary to show payment proof from my adult affiliate programs as well (Two sources from last week are shown above). These checks tend to be smaller, not because sex doesn't sell (because it most certainly still does!), but because the payouts are more frequent.

CCbill, which is the largest payment processor for this type of content, will send out a check every week as long as you meet the $25 minimum threshold. The nice thing about them is that they do the processing for many sponsors and they all can be combined, which means if you don't make the payout threshold for one sponsor you can still get paid by combining several of them! I get about $100 each time, so it's a cool extra $300-400 a month with little effort.

I have a simple page set up explaining some of the best adult affiliate programs here and the newest player in the field, adultaccessnow, is worth a look if you already have a site set up that you want to monetize easily.

Fire off an email to me if you need any help getting started!

Offerpal Earnings - $4500 In 4 Weeks!!



For the past couple of months I've been earning a steady $200+ a day online ($561 was my best one so far this year) and I wanted to show an example of a recent 4 week period of income showing that. The picture here is a scan of 2 Offerpal earnings checks back-to-back (they pay every 2 weeks) in the amount of $4493.44 earned with them.

That's from just ONE network. Once I add all the other CPA networks and affiliate programs I earn from online, the figure averages the $200 mark almost daily for this most recent time frame. Again, as I've stated in the past, I'm not telling you this for bragging rights, but rather to stress the point that ANYONE can acheive this, including YOU!!

FAR too many people are stuck in some dead end program without realizing the amount they COULD be making, if only they changed their way of thinking. We've all heard the phrase "think outside the box", and many people believe that quitting their 9-5 to work online is doing just that. The problem is that the first thing they do online is start promoting some generic affiliate page that everyone else is promoting and then they give up 3 months later after making maybe 10 bucks, or nothing.

STOP DOING THAT!!!!!!!! I'm telling you right now, from my experience and the wisdom I've gained online that you will NOT make anything significant from promoting someone else's program and making THEM rich!! You may as well stay at your 9 to 5 job if you're going to do that!

Someone on the LR forum just yesterday asked how many programs others were promoting and he proudly stated he joined 10 of them. There's another person who will be gone in a few months, frustrated after making 6 dollars a month online. My response was that the REAL money is in OWNING the sites, not joining what others have made!

Let me give you an example. There are many social networking sites out there that offer money for you to join and promote them. Sites like Peoplestring and Yuwie became popular fast because it sounds great to get "paid for doing what you do anyway, such as read emails, make friends, etc"...blah, blah, blah...

The problem is that you're not REALLY doing what you would normally do, as you are actually spending time specifically on their sites, making pennies, and promoting more gateway pages that everyone has already seen before, so after a few months you notice you've only made a few dollars. That time could have been spent making far more running your OWN social site instead of making the owners of PS et al rich!

So, now you're thinking "I can't do that!!"...sure you can! Yes, the above sites cost a lot to build, and I'm not suggesting sinking your life savings into that. I'm merely trying to get you to THINK differently. There are many social networking website builders that you can use that are FREE, such as the Dolphin community software and various Youtube clones to build a video network complete with profiles and commenting enabled for YOUR site members...yes, YOUR SITE!!

Like any site you start, be sure to base it around a niche and do the proper keyword research to get the SEO right. Build your site around a community of people who love sharing recipes, or how about a dating site for people who like a certain TV show? What about a video sharing site with cute puppy tricks? The possibilities are endless!! THINK!!!!!!!

The formula to success here is simple: Create a social niche site, then put some CPA offers and affiliate banners on it and you'll have earnings checks like mine in no time! Plus, you'll be promoting your own website for a change, so every hour you put into it is for yourself and not to benefit someone else!

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

WPRewards Wordpress Rewards Plugin

I don't very often directly sell, endorse or recommend products and, to be totally honest, it's because I think most things sold to webmasters online are just hyped filled crap. I'm sure you're already on several "guru" mailing lists where they email you constantly with recommendations on what will make you a lot of money, but there's only ONE person getting rich there, and you can guess who that is!

Well, I'm not like that at all. You'll notice there's NO list to sign up to on my blog anywhere. People who like following what I write can simply grab my feed and read what they like...I never spam anyone with crappy offers, EVER! I prefer to talk about ideas, methods and products that work "out of the box" to earn money for you right away. I think I've only recommended maybe 2 or 3 purchases in the entire 3 year history of this blog!

Today is one of those rare times where I'm going to suggest making an investment in something that will earn a great deal of money for you. It's called Giel WPRewards and is a Wordpress rewards plugin that will turn any WP blog into a reward site! If you've been reading my previous earnings posts you'll notice that around 70-80% of my income is from running CPA offers on these types of incentive sites!

It's extremely easy money to make, as you are straight up offering something in exchange for a visitor to complete your advertisers offer. You don't have to worry about whether or not your traffic clicks on your ads or buys anything...you are being upfront in telling them "Do this and I'll GIVE you something!". This is MUCH more effective in making money from your site! Just make sure that what you give them is of lesser value than what you make and the difference is your profit made!

The WPRewards Wordpress rewards plugin is very easy to install and is activated like any other plug-in addition simply by uploading 1 file and then activating it in your dashboard. Then you just add descriptions of whatever items you are giving away in trade to your users for completing your surveys/offers. It uses incentivized surveys provided by the CPALead Network (read and sign up on that page and your application is instantly approved so you can start right away!)

You can view a demo of this Wordpress rewards plugin in action at my free Godaddy gift cards site. Check it out! Users register to the blog, do a few surveys to add credits to their account and then use them to "buy" whatever it is you're offering as a reward. Simple as that! They get free stuff and you get paid!!

Future updates of the WPRewards Wordpress rewards plugin are FREE to all buyers and, as always, you can contact me if you have any problems, questions or concerns. To your success!!

Always Check Your Links!!

This is a very basic bit of advice, but I have noticed that far too many people have broken links on their sites. You should always check your links when posting them to make sure they work and go where they should!

I'm not just talking about old, dead links to sites that no longer exist, as we all miss a few of those from ancient posts we haven't seen in months or years. I'm referring to fresh, new posts and site links in forums where you typed in the wrong url or missed a letter somewhere and now the link goes nowhere.

I've seen several of these in LinkReferral lately and it amazes and disturbs me that someone would go through all the trouble to set up an account there to promote their website and then not check to make sure the link to their site even works!

This mistake happens far too often on blogs as well where someone is promoting an affiliate url or download page and when you click on it there is nothing, so you lose the potential customer. Don't let that happen to you!

Always check your links when posting to make sure they all work!!

Free Facebook Money Making Ebook

I know I've been talking a lot about how lucrative Facebook is lately, but I haven't really given any specifics to follow. That's mostly due to the fact that making money on Facebook isn't about any one technique or method but, rather, taking advantage of it as a viral marketing windfall.

FB is the largest social networking platform on the internet and, as such, it's millions of members are your potential market...you just have to get their attention! That's where viral techniques come into play to get your offer or website seen by as many Facebookers as possible, and get them to tell their friends, who tell THEIR friends, etc...you want them to "like" your site and then share it with as many others as possible.

To help you understand this concept and to get started in turning this very lucrative money making field of dreams into reality, I am giving away a free ebook to explain it in simple terms to anyone who wants it. No catch...no mailing list to join...just a freebie for you to enjoy!

I hope you do well with it!!

Contest To Celebrate My Best Month Yet!

I just tallied up the figures today and last month was my best yet for total online income earned at $5477.86!! Sweet!!

For those of you who follow this blog and my monthly earning statements you'll notice that's DOUBLE what I usually make online! I'll be providing the usual check scans as proof as they come in throughout May, but for now I wanted to celebrate by holding a contest here. I've never tried this before, so please be gentle with me :)

The rules are simple: Tell everyone about this site by linking to either http://adegreeofsuccess.blogspot.com (the "earn money online" homepage or any individual post you like) and the person who sends the most traffic by the end of the month will receive either a $10 USD Amazon egift certificate or the same amount direct to your Paypal account (your choice). To be eligible you must email me at the address listed in the sidebar to let me know your email and what site(s) your traffic will be coming from.

You may NOT send visits from any PTC's, exchanges or anything like that because it would be too easy to cheat simply by buying 1000 hits for a dollar and winning that way. I want to be recommended by people who sincerely believe in what I write and who want others to know about it too. That means the links to my blog should come from your own blogs as "recommendation" posts or links directly placed on your own websites.

When you send me the email I will add the sites you list to compare with my referrer stats to see that everything checks out. The one listed as the top referral during the 30 day contest period will be contacted by me to arrange payment to them. Just so everyone knows I run a fair game, I will request that the winner post a comment here in June to let everyone know they received their prize.

If everything goes according to plan, then I'll run more of these contests in the future for higher amounts, but this is basically a test run to see how it turns out. Good luck all!!

This Blog Does Not Make Money!!

I've had a few people contact me recently about how to earn from their blogs and the simple answer is "you don't". Blogs are traffic magnets because of the constant writing involved, so the best use of one is to bring in lots of visitors through it and then point them to your sites or products that DO make money!

Oh, sure, there ARE some exceptional cases of pro bloggers making gobs of dough, such as John Chow and Shoemoney and I'm sure you've heard of those people as well. Why? Precisely because they ARE EXCEPTIONAL! It's like a late night infomercial where the small disclaimer on the bottom says "these results are not typical". There are only a select few people who actually make money online by showing people how to make money online, because most people will never acheive the followers that are needed to make that strategy work.

When you have 10's of thousands of loyal followers, like they do, then you could sell bags of dirt on your blog for a dollar and at least SOME people would buy it, if you told them it would somehow benefit them. Well, I'm not like that. I have a small following who seem to appreciate my down-to-earth, realistic approach to earning online, without all the hype and promises of riches, and I prefer that too.

But, of course, that also means that this blog does not make money. My reward is simply in helping others succeed through what I write. If I've helped even just a few people make enough to survive in these tough economic times, then that makes me the richest person on the internet! To your success!!
