Crazy Ways To Make Money Selling Online

There are a million and one ways to make money on the internet and the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. Business ideas range from the conventional, to the downright bizarre and you don’t even need to be talented. If you are keen to create a career where you work from home or you just want to make a little extra for the bills at the end of the month, why not try one of these crazy money making ideas.

Act as an Imaginary Girlfriend/Boyfriend

This may sound crazy, but there are people who advertise their services as imaginary girlfriends who communicate with their clients on Facebook and other social networks. People who want to make their ex-partners jealous use these fake relationships to boost their confidence when ex’s drop them like a lead weight.

Record a Voice Mail for Answer Machines

Believe it or not, people actually pay to have someone create a voicemail message. These are not just people like you and I, businesses need someone who can speak clearly and has a great accent. You can also record a silly voicemail for people or advertise both types. Check out sites like Fiverr and you will see wild ideas that are making people money all over the world.

Draw a Caricature

If you have any talent at all, you can draw for customers. Caricatures are usually the easiest to draw and many people buy as gifts for loved ones. All you need is someone’s photo from their Facebook pages and you can draw a comical image of them with exaggerated features. This is an unbelievably quick way to make money online and all you need is a pencil paper and a scanner or very good camera to transfer the images back online to send to your customers.

Create Video Testimonials

All you need is a video feature on your camera phone to create a video testimonial that people will use to encourage their website visitors to purchase their products. This is an in-demand service for website owners, particularly those who sell services and online. People often look for a review before purchasing and your video testimonial could show up at the top of search pages because videos rank well in Google.

Write a Review

Website owners need to get their reputation in tact to enhance the chances of people visiting and buying their products or services. Alexa is a well-known website that ranks websites, but they have a review service that people use to recommend particular websites. This is a great way to make very good money and if with just a laptop as your tool.

Sell Hand Made Goods

A lot of people who have time on their hands, like to use their hands to make homemade craft products and sell them on websites such as Etsy and eBay. If you know a great way to make Valentine gifts, Easter or Christmas decorations or even greeting cards, you will be able to make anything from enough to pay your bills to enough to make a full time living. Seasonal gifts are always a big winner with customers because people are always looking for something different to give and something that is not available in shops usually sells well. Birthdays are not seasonal, so there is scope to have work throughout the year if you find there is enough demand.

Increase Your Engagement on Facebook and Twitter (tips and tricks)

You have now entered into the world of Social Media, and more than likely it was because a person or many people told you that it would be a good way to sell yourself or your business. They were not wrong. Right now, social media marketing is utilized by 73% of small businesses today, and that number is rising at a rapid rate. Why? Social media is the new best way to connect with more people. Facebook currently has around 901 million active users, and Twitter has 100 million, and these sites are free to join. However, joining the Social Media Marketing revolution is only the first step. Once you’re in, you have to start engaging an audience.

There are a million sites that boast a million different ways to increase your engagement with your consumer base on Facebook and Twitter. The basics of such a task include getting your posts liked, commented on, shared (on Facebook), and getting favorited or retweeted (on Twitter). Seems simple, but it may not be as simple as you think. There are ways of getting it done. Here are some basic tips and tricks for connecting with a consumer base and letting it grow organically as you engage the social network.

First thing is first on Facebook: you have to make friends. In order to do this, you have make yourself attractive to the people you want to connect with, the people at whom you are aiming your marketing strategy. It all comes down to content. You can’t expect people to get and remain interested in what you are selling if all you do is post text updates on your Facebook page. You can boost interest in your page and product by simply posting videos and pictures to your page. Make sure the content you post is, first of all, within the context of what you are selling and, possibly more importantly, interesting. Humor is one of social media’s biggest draws these days. Try creating a meme about the services you provide. You can make your own meme online through free meme generators. Meme’s are fun and tend to go viral very quickly, and you want your content to become viral.

Also, on Facebook, as well as on Twitter, you have to remember your followers and friends. One of the reasons so many people use social media is that it creates a feeling of community. People feel like they are being heard and that what they say is important when they make posts to these pages. Therefore, in order to add to the general well being of your followers and friends, pay attention to what they are posting. Respond to everyone that posts on your wall. Share the information they are sharing if you feel it is along the lines of your marketing goals. If you are having a hard time figuring out what kinds of content your followers find interesting, you are in luck. All you have to do is ask them. Make a post that asks specifically what your followers want to see and share. They will answer.

The rules are somewhat the same when you’re working with Twitter, although some of the language is different. When adding to your fan base on Twitter, you want to start with people you already know. People you know will probably like you, and will be more likely to like and retweet your content. You also want to follow locals, others in your industry, and those in your target audience. Once you’ve done this, and you still need more people to follow you, you can always send them a direct message asking them personally to add you. Include followers on Fridays when you post a “follow Friday” tweet. These tweets begin with this: #FF and are followed by the tags of people you follow that you find interesting. It feels good to be included in a #FF tweet, but sometimes the only way to receive is to give.

Once you’ve built up your base of followers on Twitter, you’ve got to maintain them while still encouraging them to share and help your network to grow. Again, engage with your followers. Respond to what they are saying and share content they post that you find interesting. Ask questions to the “twitterverse,” and join everyone in a specific conversation by using hashtags. You can even host conversations and invite people to join the conversation by using a specific hashtag.

Social Media Marketing is a way to increase sales of a product or service through engagement with a consumer base. Engagement requires the sharing, discussing, and forwarding of information. Remember, the only way to truly boost engagement is to work with what you have and remember that, in the world of social media, it really isn’t so much about you as it is about them.

Top 10 PayPal Alternatives

PayPal is an online bank. It allows you to receive payments, save money, transfer money and gives you a chance to shop online. PayPal is very effective, good, strict and very harsh. Security is their main concern, when you open an account with them you will have to pass through many verification processes before they allow you to run an operation in your own account. Being rated the world’s leading online payment processing website, their terms and conditions are somehow wicked. Through various reviews from many PayPal users, if given an alternative they will never use PayPal.

We all understand that internet is full of scams. However, before freezing someone’s account it is good to give them a notice. It is also impossible to open a PayPal account when in Nigeria and other African countries. Here is a list of top 10 PayPal alternatives.

Payoneer-
This is one online payment processing website being used by many users. Even though the opening verifications are many but there is not much headache like in PayPal. Payoneer is one of the best alternatives of PayPal. When you open an account with them a credit card is given to you. You can use the card to shop online and withdraw money from any master card ATM across the world.
Escrow.com-
This is another alternative of PayPal. It is mainly for people who want to buy things such as cars, computers, boats etc. After funding escrow, you can order for a product where escrow will hold your funds until you receive the goods. Once you receive the goods escrow releases the money to the seller of the product.
Payza-
I believe that this is the best alternative of the stubborn PayPal. It has a friendly service with a good transform. Here it is possible to make account transfers. You can also withdraw directly with your bank account.
LibertyReserve-
This is a useful PayPal alternative especially for Forex traders. Through this service you can receive online payments, transfer funds and withdraw funds in your local bank through exchange. It is very popular and very useful.
Digital River-
Through customer’s reviews you will be able to tell it as a good PayPal substitute. It is a company located in Eden PrairieMinnesota and with few years of being formed it has over 40,000 online shop charts. It has played a big role in the growth of e commerce.
Perfect Money-
For those people who perform online investments, this is the best payment process for them. There are not much hurdles like in PayPal and you can withdraw money through an exchange just like Payza.
Certpay-
This is a PayPal alternative for people in Canada. It works with many companies like eBay. You just have to link your account with your bank account where you can easily withdraw your funds.
Merchantic.com-
This is a PayPal alternative for US residents. Their charge is low and offer services such as payment gateway, eBay shopping integration and merchant account etc. This service has a back up with National Merchant Bancard.

Go&Pay-
Even though this service has not been signed by eBay but it can be a good PayPal alternative since you can buy and sell on eBay.
Allpay.net-
This service is available for those who live in UK and some Western European countries. It is signed by eBay company therefore it is a good substitute for PayPal. The services it offers include Swipe card payment, direct debit among others.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio elected pope

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 76, from Argentina was elected as the Catholic Church's new pope Wednesday night. Thousands of Catholics gathered under umbrellas outside St. Peter's Basilica, eagerly listening to the church's 266th pontiff, who addressed the faithful from the balcony.

Dressed in white, Bergoglio, who is now the first pope from Latin America, recited the Lord's Prayer.

The new pope replaces Benedict XVI, whose surprise resignation last month prompted the 115 Roman Catholic cardinals to initiate a conclave, a Latin phrase meaning "with a key," to pick a new leader for the world's almost 2 billion Catholics.

Bergoglio, a Jesuit, is the first pope ever elected from Latin America, a region of the world with 480 million Catholics. He won the necessary two-thirds vote after only two days of the conclave. Bergoglio was archbishop of Buenos Aires, but stepped down last year.

Several other candidates were considered front runners, including Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson, who would have become the first African pope in modern times.

The new church leader takes over an organization many say is in crisis, from damaging allegations of internal squabbling to the cover-up and abetting of sexual abuse, though the latter issue came to light before Benedict's papacy.

Some sources say the Catholic Church in the U.S. has paid out as much as $3 billion to settle sexual abuse claims, though others estimate a billion less. At least eight U.S. Catholic dioceses declared bankruptcy protection. Benedict said in a 1998 U.S. visit that he was ashamed of the sex abuse scandal, and assured that the church would not allow pedophiles to become priests.

The Pope Emeritus also faced criticism for his role in overseeing the church's reaction to the sexual abuse crisis, as well as revelations from the "Vatileaks" incident. The pope's butler was implicated in the leaking of documents that included what Italian media first characterized as evidence of blackmail and disarray among church leaders regarding how to address growing concerns about money laundering.

Though Benedict basically dismissed those allegations as exaggerated, he remarked that the leaks and results of the ensuing investigation he commissioned had saddened him. Church outsiders have speculated that the results of Benedict's investigation may have led to his decision to resign from the papacy, a move unprecedented in six centuries.

The new pope will also face pressure to modernize the church on issues from reforming the clergy to allowing contraception. It's unclear if the cardinals will pick a pope who will change the church or a conservative leader who will remain dedicated to its current principals.

SEO Resolutions for 2013 that can Make You a Better Blogger

It is that time of the year when most  of us  get engaged
in   brainstorming  to  choose  something/things  as  our 
New Year  resolutions. Whether or not we keep up with
the  resolutions  each  year, we  still  start  off with high
hopes  the  next  year. We  make  resolutions   related to 
our  persona, our  habits,  our  work, our    relationships 
and our hobby. Most probably blogging is either  your
hobby or your work. As a blogger myself, I have made
certain resolutions related  to   my blog’s  SEO,  that fit 
well for  blogging in the  year  2013,  which happens to 
be  right  after  the year of  learning  and  surprises  for 
bloggers (2012). I’m going to share the list with you as
I   believe  that       these  resolutions  if  followed  with 
dedication will ensure better search engine ranking of 
your blog.



Before we proceed, it’s better to know what SEO is and how it matters in blogging (especially if you
are a newbie. If you are not, skip the next paragraph).

SEO is the process that helps you improve your website’s ranking in the search engine. In other
words SEO gets you to the first pages of a search result, thus improving your blog’s visibility. SEO
has grown through the years and is now one of the most important facets of blogging and requires
expertise. You need to either learn it through trial and error, or hire a SEO expert to handle it.

Now that you got a brief idea of SEO, let’s get into action. Jot down these SEO resolutions for 2013
for better blogging –

1.  Will Produce Better Content: Content is king. This is a famous saying in the field of
     blogging; the value of this saying has increased multifold after the Google Panda update last
     year. So it is undoubtedly the paramount resolution in any smart blogger’s mind for 2013.
     Your content can always be made better. There can be no end for that. So embark upon
     making better content every time as compared to your last time.

     Use bullets, header tags, paragraphs and fine tune your titles, grammar, writing style. Making
     people connect emotionally with your content is the key. All this forms a part of content SEO
     for long lasting ranking results.

     Also ensure that you provide wider range content; not just words, but go beyond words with
     images, videos and infographics.

2.  Will Be Really Social: Newbie bloggers often mistake being social to having accounts,
     groups and pages in various social networking sites and blogging directories; and then
     publicizing each post in those sites not caring to know if people really bother to see the posted
     content, only with the goal of doing well in SEO. Being social in the real sense is interacting
     with your fans and followers. Some ways to interact could be conducting captivating polls,
     offering giveaways, triggering interesting contests and sometimes simply asking them how
     they are doing.

     What is the point if your presence in social networks is no different from a newsletter leaving
     a chunk of posts? You need to differentiate between the two, Right?

     After all social networks are meant to be entertaining.

3.  Will Diverge My Links: The earlier a blogger learns this, the better he gets. This is a vital
     learning from the last year’s Google Penguin algorithmic update. Otherwise also, this strategy
     is a good choice, as it gets your blog link juice from various blogs (better be it from the same
     niche), through various links (posts/pages) and various keywords (I meant anchor text). If
     you feel that link building is not your cup of tea, better resort to SEO experts who can do the
     hard work for you, so that you can concentrate more on other aspects of blogging that you are
     good at.

4.  Will be Informed: It is always better to be informed about the latest news and happenings
     in (and to some extent out of) your niche. This helps you take informed decisions.

     Would you dare to buy unnatural links after being educated about the Penguin update? You
     may otherwise. So save yourself by keeping yourself updated about all that you and your blog
     are involved in. Taking uninformed decisions may land you in trouble. Some stuff you must
     follow as a blogger are- Google’s official blogs, PRO bloggers in your niche and newsletters
     of services you use for your blog (like plugins). It’s always better to follow updates from SEO
     experts because the valuable information shared by them can help you rank well in Google.

 These are some SEO resolutions I feel are immensely relevant to 2013 (due to major changes in
 the way search works). Do share your SEO or blogging resolutions in the comment box.

 If you are not much into SEO, your best SEO resolution could be hiring an SEO expert.

 Happy Blogging. Happy Ranking.

10 Steps to Jump Start Traffic to a New Blog

There are plenty of  ways to get  traffic  to your blog,
but the tips on this article are concerned with getting
traffic for your  blog  posts now,  as  oppose  to  later. 
That is why there is little  advice on  how to improve
your blogs SEO, etc, because climbing up the search
engines  results    pages   takes  time. These  tips  are 
things  you  can  try  today  in  order  to  get     traffic 
tomorrow.

1 - Participate in forums and online chats

This is the first piece of advice that Google gives when you set up your first website and sign up
to their Google webmaster tools. That is why it is point number one, because as a new blog you
should be participating in online chatter. You may not gain a lot of direct traffic but it is a good
way of ingratiating yourself and your blog into the online community.

2 - Set up a Facebook Fan Page

This is a good way to get a little extra attention to your blog. People are going to stumble across
your Facebook fan page, and if you are good enough at promoting your blog on it then you will
gain extra traffic. The good thing is that unlike building up your blog’s search engine ranking,
your traffic from the Facebook Fan page can start pouring in immediately.

3 - Tweet about your Blog at least once per day

Tweets are great ways to grant a little bit of publicity to your blog. Most of your Tweets will be
ignored but some of them will get through and affect your traffic numbers if you post at least
once per day. Simply add an informative snippet of information about your blog post and try to
peak a few people’s curiosity.(Twitter Traffic Driver For Your Site)

4 - Upload at least five blog posts to start with

When you first create your blog you may start with the honorable idea of posting a new post
every week, however if you want to get your traffic score rising you will need to start off with
more than one post. Add five posts to begin with, and then start adding one post per week.

5 - Affiliate advertise your most shocking blog posts

It is going to cost you a lot of money if you wish to boost your blog attendance via affiliate
advertising; however, you could try advertising a few of your more shocking or high quality blog
posts. If you advertise the ones that you feel will turn viewers into loyal viewers, then it may act
as a good jump-start for your blog.

6 - Comment on other related blogs and link up

Other blogs that are related (in theme or genre) to your blog are going to be attended by
people interested in your blog topics. Add comments to other blogs, and if they allow links, you
should link to your website or blog. It is a good way to gain a little bit of direct traffic.

7 - Pay for links pointing towards your blog

There are legitimate directories that you can use to pay for a link to your blog. This will improve
your blogs SEO and help you gain a little bit of direct traffic too. You could also pay a private
blog owner to allow you to install a link on their blog.

8 - Participate in areas where your target audience gathers

There are forums and websites that your target audience are bound to congregate. If there are
any interactive elements at all then you must participate. Even if you cannot add a link into the
fray, you must at least try to stimulate a little bit of interest for your blog, and mention your
blogs name so that people search for it.

9 - Specifically target certain keywords in your blog

You are going to need to do a little bit of keyword research and pick between three and five
keywords. You then need to add each one at least three times to your blog post, as well as
trying to add a few synonyms too. You should also put these keywords in your tagged keyword
section. Targeting specific keywords may help to jump-start the traffic you gain from the search
engines (organic traffic).

10 - Use question and answer websites frequently

They allow you to answer questions whilst adding a link. If you pick the questions that relate to
the topic of your blog posts then there is a good chance that the people reading the questions
and answers will follow you link. The good thing is that you can answer questions that are
based around any of you blog topics. You can answer a question today about a topic you wrote
a blog post for years ago. You can point the new link to your old blog post and people may
follow it and read your blog posts that you posted years ago.
