How to Make an Internet Magazine

1. Create a concept for your Internet magazine, and be as specific as possible. If you want to create a fiction magazine, decide on a genre and a focus. For example, you might decide to run a romance magazine focusing on vampire romance. Nonfiction magazines should be even more specific: a magazine focusing on tools for beading jewelry crafters, for instance. Sharply focused magazines are easier to run and market.
2. Choose a title, and at the same time, buy a domain name. Don't agonize over 'the perfect' domain name; just pick something close to the title of your magazine. The vampire romance zine above, for instance, could be www.love-bytes.com or www.dark-love.com.

3. Choose a commercial (not free) web host that offers unlimited storage and bandwidth and that has received excellent reviews. Your website should have, at minimum, a cover page home page, a table of contents linked to stories and an archive section. Many online magazines also run forums for writers and readers, and some also offer an email version of their magazine that readers can subscribe to. You may not know everything you will want to do with your ezine yet, so try to keep your options open.
4. Decide how you're going to monetize your magazine. Even if you're just running your zine for love, it's smart to try to turn enough profit to offset expenses and maybe even pay your writers a little bit. The simplest and surest way to make money from your magazine is by running advertisements provided by Google's Adsense program and by signing up to do affiliate sales for Amazon.
5. Create your website template and the logo for your website. Keep it simple for your first launch: home page, story/article pages, advertising slots, a table of contents.Develop a writer's contract. Writers will need to assign you electronic rights to publish their stories, and you will need to inform them of exactly how long their stories will remain electronically available, as well as what your future plans for their stories are. You will also need a page outlining submission guidelines. The easiest way to develop both these documents is by visiting online magazines that are similar to yours and using their guidelines and contract as samples.
6. Advertise for submissions to your magazine. Post advertisements at writers' websites and on Craig's List. If you offer to pay for published stories, you are likely to be swamped with submissions. Give yourself plenty of time (ideally, about six months) between requesting submissions and launching your first issue, as it will take time to wade through manuscripts.Before you're ready to launch your magazine, you should have enough submissions lined up to fill two magazine issues. Generate, acquire or find graphics for your magazine, as well.
7. Once your first magazine is in place and you have user-tested it to ensure your links work, you're ready to launch. Have a marketing plan in place so you'll have good traffic from the very beginning. Advertise using Adsense or Yahoo! ads (many web hosts give away a limited amount of these when you first sign up), and create a Facebook page so you can advertise there, as well. If you have any famous writers publishing in this issue, write and distribute a press release to the appropriate industry media. Put up fliers in your local bookstores and libraries. Ask friends and family to advertise your ezine, and ask writers in the issue to advertise, as well.Then start preparing your next edition.

How to Make Money From Creating Your Own Website

1. Decide a topic for your website. To make money with your website, focus on a particular topic, or niche. Your website has to provide information for people that they can't find anywhere else. At the very least, it must provide information that few other websites offer so you won't have too much competition.
2. Find a domain name. This is what people type into the address bar of their browser to visit your site. For instance, you may have typed eHow.com into Internet Explorer to get to this page, because eHow is the domain name. Your domain name should have some type of connection to your website's topic so people have an idea of what to expect when they hear or see it. Next, register it. You can do this for a small annual or monthly fee, depending on the company you use.

3. Find a host. A simple online search will yield numerous hosting services. Most of them charge a monthly fee based on your bandwidth and the amount of space you use. Other hosting companies, like Google, offer free hosting for basic websites.
4. Design your website to attract people to the products or services you offer. If your website is mainly a blog, make it easy to read and pleasing to the eye. Flashing ads and neon colors are hard on the eyes and will cause people to click away in a matter of seconds. But a well-organized, viewer-friendly website will keep people looking and clicking around your website to see what it's all about.
5. Post products or services relating to your topic. Your website can be anything you want it to be, but you won't make money from it unless you offer products, services or advertising related to your topic. If you have a website about wrestling, find affiliate programs and advertisers related to wrestling. If you have a website that reviews your favorite movies, find ways to sell DVDs and movie-related merchandise that will generate income.
6. Generate traffic. Traffic is the lifeblood of a money-making website. If nobody visits your site, it won't generate any income because advertisers won't see the need to place ads on your website and nobody will be buying the products or services you offer. Market your website by visiting relevant online forums and chat rooms. Visit websites that are like yours and leave comments with links to your website. Ask other website owners if they would like to enter into an agreement in which you help promote each other's websites through trackbacks and other methods.
7. Add advertising to your website. Google AdSense is one of the most common and utilized methods for creating income through your own website. When you have an AdSense account, Google places ads on your website and you can configure the appearance and placement of the ads. Once your website becomes popular, search for other advertisers that are willing to place their relevant ads on your website to create an entirely different stream of income.

How to Add an Expanding Banner in Google Ad Manager

1. Open and log into the DoubleClick dashboard for your account. If you want to create a new campaign with the banner, click 'New Ad Unit.' If you want to change a current banner, click the ad and click 'Edit.'
2. Click the 'Browse' button in the New Creative section. Select your animated file, such as a Flash banner or GIF image that expands in the ad space. Click 'OK.' Type the click-through URL and click 'Save.'

3. Type the cost-per-click information in the next window. The cost is what you charge customers when a user clicks the ad. In the Price Priority text box, give a priority for the banner. If you get paid more for this banner, set it with a value of 1 so it will show more often.
4. Click 'Save' again to save the settings. Open the URL that contains the banner ad to verify that the ad expands and runs properly in the ad space.

How to Increase Website Exposure

1. Bring up the URL submission pages on Bing, Google, Yahoo! and any other major search engines you prefer (see Resources). Enter your website address in the 'URL' field and click the 'Submit' or 'Add' button to enter your URL in the search engine directory, which helps your website come up in search results.
2. Sign up for social networks, including Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, and add your website address to your profile. Performing this task enables your friends to see your URL on your member page and access your website. See the network's 'FAQ,' 'Support' or 'Help' page if you need assistance adding the information to your profile.

3. Join discussion forums that relate to your site's topic and add your website URL to your signature. When you create a discussion thread or reply to an existing one, this signature appears underneath your post and gives readers the opportunity to discover your site.
4. Write articles pertaining to your website's content and include a paragraph at the end that has a link to your pages. Submit these stories to free article directories. These directories have a high page rank with major search engines, such as Google; therefore, your articles have the potential to show up on prevalent search result pages, which gives your website more exposure.
5. Comment on relevant blogs that allow feedback and include a link back to your site. High-ranking blogs have lots of visitors that can discover your URL from your notes. Be sure to leave meaningful feedback on these pages so the website author is more likely to publish your comments.

How to Increase Earnings Potential

1.

Improve your educational credentials. Even if an MBA is not a solid requirement for your career, obtain one if you are in a business-related position. Statistically speaking, the higher your degree, the higher your pay. If your company will not adjust your pay based on an advanced degree, consider alternative positions or companies.
2. Research salaries for your career and position. Make copies of the data to provide to your supervisor. ('How to Get a Pay Raise,' linked in Resources below, provides advice on this meeting.) Before taking this route, however, ensure that you have been performing well, so the boss cannot find an easy reason to turn you down.

3. Present your case, with salary survey data, to your supervisor. Tell him you would like to be considered for a raise out of sequence. If this is not possible because of your company's compensation rules, ask to be given a larger increase at the normal salary review. You may also wish to consider other, more lucrative careers.
4. Apply for promotions. If the new job involves supervising others, get experience by volunteering to head teams at work and taking the initiative to oversee new projects. Be sure supervisors take into account any experience you have supervising outside of work (such as military, prior jobs or community service).
5. Take a part-time job at night or on weekends. Contact employment agencies and local stores or businesses to advise them of your availability. This solution can provide a temporary boost to your cash flow problems..
6.

Make money online by doing surveys, writing blogs or selling on eBay. If you have a little spare time each week, you could find these money-making ventures helpful and can work from home.

How to Make Money from Advertisers when Selling eBooks Online

1. Trial Pay is a new payment platform that increases your customer's willingness to pay for your product.
2. Here is the concept. You create a special offer or make your item free to the buyer if the buyer completes an offer with an advertiser. An offer is something like a free trial at NetFlix, 25 free music downloads from eMusic, a free audiobook from Audible, or a free membership to Blockbuster.

3. If your customer completes the offer, he gets your item for free or at a discount, and the advertiser pays you anywhere from $10 to $25 or more. So, instead of the customer paying you for the product, the advertiser pays you more than the customer would have.
4. To try this program, sign up for Trial Pay and create an account. (See the resources section below.) Then create an offer such as 'Get this eBook free!' Add the HTML to your product pages on your website.
5. Why does this strategy work? A customer willing to pay the full price for your eBook may be worth more to an advertiser than your retail price. Think of the big picture. Many online advertisers have customers with lifetime values that range in the $100 to $1,000s. For example, let's say your customer signs up for the NetFlix free trial. He decides likes the service, and converts to a paying customer. NetFlix can make $100s or $1,000s of dollars from that one customer over the next several years. NetFlix's investment was only $20 or so they paid you to get that customer through your website.
6. The customer gets a good deal, gets your eBook free, and gets to try a new product or service for free. You get paid a nice referral fee, and the advertiser gets a new customer. Everyone wins.
7. This type of passive income is much more efficient and can pay much more than pay per click advertising on Google Adsense through affiliate programs. You will still want to do those programs, too, but, the advertisers on Trial Pay will pay you much more.
8. Trial Pay is also a great way to acquire new customers that might not want to pay for your product. In essence, you can make more money from the advertisers than you make selling the actual eBook.
9. See the resource links below for more information on Trial Pay, how the program works, and to see an example of it in use on a website.

How to Earn Money Online With Proofs

1. Build a website. There are many online companies that offer free website-building tools you can use to create your own professional-looking website even without having technical website-building skills. Visit websites such as Webs or Weebly and create an eye-catching website for free.
2. Create content for your website. Write short articles on topics you know a lot about or enjoy participating in (your niche area) from travel advice tips to best cooking practices to include in your website. Share the information, pictures, videos and photos relating to your niche area in your website to build an audience and gain a steady number of visitors to your site every day. You may also use sites like Yahoo Buzz to find out what topics are popular and write on them, to try to bring more traffic to your site.

3. Promote your website. Purchase pay-per-click search engine text/word ads, such as Google AD Word or Yahoo Sponsored Search. Search engine text/word ads display short messages that point to your website along with search engine results. You pay a certain amount every time someone clicks on the link. Also include links to your website on social media websites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.
4. Enroll with a pay-per-click program such as Google AdSense or Adbrite and acquire a code for your website. The code will enable ads relevant to your website content to be displayed on the pages of your website. You will earn a certain amount every time someone clicks on the ads.
5. Sell products on your website. Join an affiliate program to sell or promote another merchant's products for a commission. Choose an affiliate product to sell from affiliate networks like Clickbank, Click2Sell or PayDotCom. Get the affiliate link associated with the product and insert the link in your website. Each time someone follows the link and purchases the product, you will earn a certain amount. Sell your own products by listing the products on your site and setting up a payment method, such as PayPal, for accepting online payments.

How to Create a Free Blog and Make Money With It

1. Select a platform for your blog. Blogger, WordPress and Tumblr are free websites that provide the Web hosting and software needed to start a blog. Alternatively, Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.org are platforms that you can use to start a blog on your own Web server. Although usage of these platforms is free, you will need to pay to register a domain name and start an account with a Web hosting provider.
2. Choose an advertising provider or an affiliate partner to monetize your blog. For example, you can add Google AdSense to a blog and begin earning money with little effort. Some free blog providers may have limitations that you must abide by when displaying advertisements. WordPress.com does not allow AdSense advertisements in free blogs. To display the advertisements of your choice on WordPress.com, you must upgrade your account or sign up for Ad Control. Ad Control gives you half of the revenue earned from advertisements, with the other half going to WordPress.

3. Establish a niche or theme for your blog. If your goal is for readers to click advertisements or buy products, select a theme that a person interested in buying products may search for. For example, someone interested in buying a new video card may search for a blog about computer hardware reviews. You can potentially earn money from a blog with any theme, but you may find it difficult to earn money from a blog that is not product-focused.
4. Add content to your blog to begin building a reader base. Readers look for content that can't be found elsewhere. Avoid reposting content that you find on other sites and create posts that are fresh and original. Original content results from conducting extensive research or selecting article topics that you have extensive knowledge about.
5. Optimize your content to help people find it in search engines. It helps to think of one main keyword phrase for each article that you write. For example, 'make money online' is a keyword phrase that may be relevant for an article about earning money from blogging. The most important keyword phrase in your article should be in the article's title and within the content. Search engines will use the text of your article to determine its topic. Your text must contain the words that people use when searching for that type of article.
