WorkFor3Dollars Payment Proof



Well, it's Tuesday and that's payday for the WorkFor3Dollars (WF3D) list builder program, so I thought I'd continue with my earnings posts and show theirs for today. They don't pay by paper check, so I had to show my Alertpay screenshot for this one.

My WorkFor3Dollars payment proof is only $3.12 USD because the cashout is at only 3 bucks, so it never gets very high, and this is from an account under my main one. Still, it's an easy way to make a few dollars and they do payout on time, like clockwork. Even when the admin was away on vacation in the summer a few months ago he still made sure everyone got paid!

Since this program works best by members helping to promote each other, here are a few affiliate links to join under, and rather than ask you to join me, I simply ask you to pick someone else from my team and we can all help each other to succeed!

If At First You Don't Succeed...

The old saying "If at first you don't succeed, then try again" is even more true when trying to earn a living online. There are literally so many opportunities to make money on the internet that it can sometimes feel quite overwhelming! I know when I first started years ago that it felt like my head was spinning just figuring it all out.

Much of the learning process involves simple trial and error. However, that can get expensive if you start investing a lot of time and money into things that just don't seem to be working out for you. My general rule is that if I don't see a positive return within 3-4 months, then I abandon that project. I know some people will get on my case about that one, saying that it can take YEARS for something to pay off, and while thats true, there is also a saying along the lines of "you can always get more money, but you can't buy more time".

In other words, my time on Earth is limited, and there ARE ways to get more income that don't involve the long wait. So, keep trying, but don't waste too much precious time on something that clearly isn't working for you. Everyone is good at something, so it's a matter of finding out what works for YOU personally. Just because someone else claims to make $1000 a month selling affiliate products does not mean that it will come easy for you. Perhaps your strength is in promoting an idea, or writing content, or running a forum online, or any one of a number of things...try and you'll succeed at SOMETHING eventually!!

As a final note, this all applies to anyone trying to get accepted into a prestigious CPA network like CPALead as well, since they reject more applications than they accept, now that so many people are trying to get in. I can't stress this enough: It IS worth the effort!! I'm making more with them every month and the latest affiliate who joined under me is already up to $37 earned so far today, which is awesome for a newbie!

Even I got rejected the first time I applied, but that was because my site was down at the time they checked it (bad hosting and I moved the site right after that). Almost always when someone gets denied it's simply due to lack of information on the form. Put down as much as you can about your internet marketing experience and qualifications (like a job application), and make sure there are no mistakes (Jacqueline, if you're reading this: you put your email addy where your website url is supposed to go, so there was no site to see!). Everyone can simply apply again...there's no shame in making mistakes, but don't give up!

If at first you don't succeed...you know what to do!! :)

Cpalead Payment Proof


As promised, here is my Cpalead payment proof in the form of a scan of my latest check for $441.72 USD (as referenced in my monthy online earnings post). The vast majority of this comes from just a couple of main sites that I have their survey offers on right now, but I'm launching a few new ones, so I expect to hit $1k a month early in the new year.


UPDATE: See a newer earnings check from them here!


Cpalead is an easy way to make money online without selling anything because it's CPA lead (cost per action) based and not through any sales commissions payout structure. Therefore, you don't have the usual concerns about sale ratios and conversion rates. All you have to do is give your website visitors something for free and you get paid! If you don't have a product to offer as a freebie already, then simply get a cheap PLR item or anything with reseller or giveaway rights and use that.


It's really easy to do and, as always, anyone who signs up under my own Cpalead affiliate page can email me at any time to get mentoring at no charge until you are earning on your own each month. You can't lose with that deal!


You WILL succeed if you try!!

Cpalead Help

There seems to be a lot of people looking for Cpalead help lately, so I thought I'd offer my assistance to anyone with specific questions, such as "How do I add the Cpalead gateway to Blogger or Wordpress posts?", "What kind of sites work best with Cpalead?", how do payments work, etc.

If you are completely new to this way to monetize a site then read my Cpalead network post first to get an idea of what you're missing. I'll be posting my payment proof in a few days when the latest checks are issued, but it's fair to say that the average person online can make an extra $XXX amount of money on top of what they already do and there are MANY affiliates making well over $1000 a month (some even per DAY).

I'm not to that point yet, but my earnings have increased with them every single month since I started and it's now my biggest earner online! If you need any cpalead help then feel free to leave your inquiry in a comment here or email me directly through the address listed in the sidebar if you'd like a personal response, and I'll try to answer as soon as possible.

Here's to your success!!

Yottacash Affiliate Earnings Proof


I thought I'd post my Yottacash Affiliate earnings proof today because I've noticed that there isn't a whole lot of information about this program on the net yet, so I wanted to do my part to assure my readers that they DO pay on time.

Payouts are made every 2 weeks, once you have made at least $100 in commissions, but you should be aware that they deduct and hold back 10% of your earned amount in case of any future chargebacks or refunds issued from your sales made. The held percentage is then released and paid to you after 6 months. It's no big deal to me, but just something you should know in case your total seems a bit less than expected.

The $148.50 check shows the money I earned in September, which was issued in mid October (a few days ago) and I received it in the mail today. You only need 3-4 sales (up to $40 commission!) to reach payout, so it really didn't take very long at all. The bank numbers and my address have been cut off for legal reasons (I'm not allowed to show it in Canada, where I live, due to our privacy act laws).

The Yottacash affiliate program is perfect if you have any sort of entertainment website traffic, as they sell games, music, and movie content that appeals to that sort of audience. Just put their ads on your site and watch the money add up...simple as that!

Unlimited Bandwidth Hosting

Today's post goes back to the basics because sometimes it seems so obvious that people actually miss it. You NEED a web site host if you are truly going to succeed online. Yes, there are lots of free hosts out there, but they can only take you so far. These services are great for "testing the waters" or trying out an idea before investing any money, but you're going to need unlimited bandwidth hosting if you ever want to make it big on the internet!

Why? Because to earn money online you want to be taken seriously, and that comes from having your own domain on paid hosting. There is only so much you can do by going the freebie route and there are many drawbacks, such as not being able to control your own advertising space, limited design potential with "cookie cutter" templates and, most importantly, being on a subdomain (ie. yourusername.weebly.com) limits your ability to do well in the search engine results, since you are not on your own top level domain (TLD).

I learned this myself the hard way. I had a few websites when I started years ago that were hosted free and they were not doing well in the SE's (Google buried them), so after 4 or 5 months of going nowhere I decided to take the plunge and ordered Hostgator unlimited bandwidth hosting for just 10 bucks and to this day it was the best decision I've ever made online.

Their hosting packages include easy installation of many scripts to give you a professional design and presentation, such as full blown site layouts, Wordpress and other blog software and forums, plus informative webstats and your very own email address (which is miles better sounding than a Hotmail one!). It simply elevates you to the next level of success at a very low cost.

Literally, within 2-4 weeks all my sites then started moving up the search results page and I was rewarded with many page one top 10 listings! I was now being taken seriously as an online business (because that's what a website is!) and I've been successfully creating profitable sites ever since that time. You can too, really!!

Monthly Online Earnings

Another month has just ended, so I thought I'd give a breakdown of my monthly online earnings for September to show you that anyone CAN earn money online, if you do it the right way and are willing to work for it. So, here it is...

- $845.51 in affiliate sales (includes Yottacash and others)
- $441.72 from CPALead survey gateways
- $128 in payloadz site scripts and websites sold
- $126 through selling adspace (includes ppc like Adsense)
- $201 from mystery shopping (internet based)
- $300 of misc stuff (many small things like a buck or two here and there from the odd ptc and other networks)

- $2042.23 Total ($68.07 daily average earning)

You can have the same results, if you only set your mind to achieving it and STOP promoting all those nonsense affiliate programs with a generic gateway page! Nobody buys into that stuff anymore and the net is so full of scams that everything has become too much of a hard sell these days.

It's almost 2010...time to think outside the box for a change!!
