Well it’s the holiday season,
As I’ve already discussed, you can easily take advantage of the increased buyers on the net during this time with shopping sites such as Amazon Affiliate, ShareASale, Shopping.com. I have seen an increase in all of my sites which are selling physical products via affiliate links.
But, as we all know, the promotion of these sites is one of the most difficult methods to accomplish. We want traffic to our sites because we know, without traffic, there is no money!
There are various methods which I’ve gone over in the past to help you bring in traffic to your site but I want to talk about a particular technique you can use during the holidays.
The HubPages “Holidays & Celebration” Section
In the last few weeks, I’ve been posting like crazy to HubPages “Holidays & Celebrations” topic. Why? Well so many people are searching around there looking for gift ideas and reviews.
I take advantage of this by doing two things:
- I utilize HubPages ability to insert Amazon products into a Hub and display the product.
- I link back to the particular page I have on the product to help enhance Search engine rankings and get some valuable direct traffic from the Hub
What do I talk about in the Hub?
Well, that is easy…
I simply explain why the product is a great Christmas/Holiday gift. I list features, how kids would like it, how adults would find it useful, and its costs in comparison to other gifts.
So what are you doing here? Start getting your Hubs done! Click here–>HubPages to go to HubPages.

Venture outside your niche
3 Comments | Posted by cashschool in Quick Money Making Articles
Quick Cash School’s main niche is how to make money online and how to make make money in general, that’s plain and simple. So then why was my last post how to Stand out in this economy? That post had nothing to do with my niche, or did it?
When it comes to blogging, a lot of thought goes into what I plan to write about. I don’t just think of a topic out of mid air and then write about it. Instead, I think about how helpful the topic will be for the reader and also how much traffic can this topic drive to my site. If a topic comes to mind that I feel will be helpful to readers and beneficial to my traffic,regardless of whether it fits in my niche or not. But in the case of my previous article, it does fit in my niche, regardless of how much it seems to counter act how to make money online.
I thought your niche was make money online?
Make money online is my niche but if you think about it, learning how to stand out in this economy can directly tie into my niche and help me gain traffic after I’ve helped my readers. If you think about it, who will be the people most looking to stand out in this economy? My guess and I hope your guess is those looking for a job. The reason someone is searching for a job is because they need money. So what do I do? I provide them with the information they are looking for in terms of finding a job and what not but I also plug the fact that I can help them make money online as well. The fact that I can show them how to make money online peaks their interest and hopefully I provide enough valuable information to them that I not only gain a loyal reader to my blog, but they refer their friends.
So, when deciding on a topic to write about in your blog, don’t be afraid to venture outside your niche to a topic that can tie into your niche all the while driving in new and fresh traffic that may have never been exposed to your niche! Get creative! You never know what topic will drive hundreds of visitors to your blog which in turn makes you money!

Don’t care about the number subscribed to RSS
0 Comments | Posted by cashschool in Quick Money Making Articles
I know the haters are going to say, “he’s only saying this because he doesn’t have many readers.” Well, it’s true I don’t have many readers, but it is also true that my site is very very young. But, regardless of how many readers I have, I don’t care for a variety of reasons.
My most important reason is probably most important for you too. A good majority of your readers are there for one reason only, to see what you’re writing about and copy it and use it on their website as content. Now, most of these copiers are lazy bastards who wind up linking to your page accidentally which may seem good. However, these sites are rarely even indexed by Google and if they haven’t already been, will soon be flagged as a spam/duplicate content site. What do I do with these people? I report them to Google Spam. It is an annoying and constant process but I have to do it to preserve the integrity of Quick Cash School.
The second reason is that I don’t post to this blog with the sole effort to gain traffic and readers and you shouldn’t either. If you’re posting just in hopes of encouraging hoards of traffic to come to your page and subscribe to your RSS feeds, keep dreaming. You need to have passion and enthusiasm when you post, not only in the article you’re writing about, but the subject of the article as well. Viewers can easily tell when a post is lacking any passion and seems to just be slapped up onto the page with no thought behind it. If you do that, guess what? No one will want to subscribe to your RSS feed because they don’t want to read your helpless articles.
I post because I enjoy writing about the subject of money and helping others get to where I’ve gotten. I don’t write with hopes of making millions off this page. All of my most successful sites have been profitable when they were about subjects I was passionate about. My failures came when I just made sites on a subject I had no idea about or wasn’t passionate about. So, write for your own aesthetic pleasure, not because you want money, traffic, or RSS readers. Do that and the money will follow!

Top 5 points to make money online in 2010
0 Comments | Posted by cashschool in Quick Money Making Articles
With the end of the year approaching we have to start thinking about next year and how we will make money online in 2010. Each year, new and intriguing methods are brought public on how to make money online, how to increase your traffic, and how to improve your search engine rankings. While most of these are labeled a complete money draining scam, with some effort, a majority of them actually do work. But that’s another post, we are here to discuss the questions, problems, and potential for us to make money online in 2010.
What to worry about in 2010 to make money online
- What will happen with BANS? The guys who created the number one way to make money online, BANS, recently sent out an email to all of its forum members saying that their domain BuildANicheStore.com was up for sale. About a week or two later, they sent out another email in which they decided to reevaluate their stance and took the domain off the market. They then went on to say that the BANS program needs to be updated and that they will be most likely moving the domain to another domain and starting all over to keep up with the times and gather thoughts and opinions of other BANS users to provide the best possible service.Now, as I’ve mentioned plenty of times before, BANS is the first program I’ve ever successfully used to make money online so when I heard that it was being sold I was disappointed. When I got the second email, I was happy to hear that they were going to revamp the program. With eBay’s new Quality Click Program and so many Search Engines falling in love with blogs via WordPress sites, phpBay had become the more suitable program over BANS. I’m confident in the fact that the guys at BANS will work hard to really improve the program and I expect them to release an amazing product in 2010.
- Will the Acme People Search Engine continue to make its affiliates money? The Acme People Search program was introduced in early 2009 and was claimed to be the most profitable way to make money online.As it goes, 30% of all searches on Google, Yahoo and MSN are for people searches. Tissa Godavitarne decided to take advantage of this information by creating an affiliate program in which you create your own people search that is advertised for FREE through Google, MSN and Yahoo ads for the first 30 days. All of those advertising expenses are paid by Tissa.The program is free to sign up to and it is recommended that you get your own Global Domains International domain name, although not necessary. The great thing about this program is it becomes linked to your ClickBank, HDPublishing, and MyLife accounts. If you decide to purchase your own domain, you can also post your own AdSense ads on it.I decided not to get a Global Domains domain because I received mixed reviews on it so I wasn’t able to maximize my profits through AdSense, but I have made some very good money as the website is on auto pilot. I just set up my Acme People Search Engine and left it alone after doing some of my SEO methods. I then linked it on one of my highest PR sites and from there I let it all take care of itself.
On top of this, the referral program is one of the best around, with the possibility of being paid up to $30 per referral. So, lets see how this all works out. A lot of times people don’t want to put in the work necessary to make the page popular and get the word out about it. If they don’t do that, they don’t make money and then cry out scam. If a majority of the people are unwilling to put the work into Acme People Search engine they will say it is a scam and ruin the programs reputation, killing any chances of it being a great way to make money online in 2010.
- The fads need to either prove effective or cease to exist all together. Every year you hear of a new and innovative way to make money; free royalty rights, FOREX, etc. Some work, most don’t. The problem with these though is that they stick around for a year or two and convince millions of people they work because they persist for a length of time and then disappear completely from the face of the make money online world. So those millions of people who failed to make money online completely give up and reject any other methods. Why does this happen? Because inconsiderate people just create a program that sounds enticing for other people and sell it with little to any experimentation with the method. No money is made by the customer, but the producer collects.So, we need to weed out what is useless in our quest to make money online in order to maximize our profits. I ask that you do this by posting a comment on this post about what you’ve experienced as ineffective and what has worked for you.
- How will the algorithms of top search engines change and how will it effect us? We’ve seen it before. 10 years ago, your title, meta description and meta keywords determined your search engine results ranking. As years pass, search engines get more and more particular as to what they deem worthy of being in the top ranks. Link exchanges were once effective in building back links. Today, one way links are highly effective and link exchanges are obsolete. With the search engines fascination with blogs, I can only suggest that guest authoring on blogs and blog comments will show presence in the community and help your search engine rankings. As more information is published, I will keep everyone updated.
- Digital media needs to be incorporated into sites to make money online. How many times a day do you send someone or does someone send you a video on YouTube? Using video clips on your site will not only enhance the interactivity of your site and the viewer, it will soon be recognized by search engines and boost your rankings.
Times are changing in the make money online world
The times are changing and in order to make money online, we have to keep up with or stay out in front of the requirements to be profitable. Don’t be afraid to be bold and try new and unusual methods of making money, you never know, you may discover the next BANS program.
