Marketing For The Work At Home Experiment

Just a couple of things to update on today.  Nothing extraordinary, but very useful.

I mentioned in previous posts that I had finally signed up with Facebook.  I have been going through setting that up and adding a few "friends" and what-not, trying to get that marketing fire going.  I'm sure it will take awhile, so better to start now than later.

Checked my in-text advertising service, Infolinks, and already have about $0.24 in my account !  So I know it is being registered and started.  And again, I have to say, it is soooo very cool that they pay through PayPal !  I wish Google AdSense would do the same thing as an option, at least !

Speaking of Google AdSense, I looked around for a place to communicate with Google on that issue of the spike in impressions and CTR (click through rate).  I wanted to make sure I contacted them because, since I am just getting started with this journey, I don't want to be shut down before I get to first base.  That would REALLY suck.  I did and sent them a message with the date and states and my concerns.  I also heard other
people talking about it in the forum and FAQ section.  Fraudulent CTR is definitely a bad thing, and can get you shut down.  Once it is shut, you do NOT get it back.

Thus far, though, I have made about $3.65 in estimated earnings at this point.  Low, but I will take it.  It can still only go up from there !

Next in the earnings area is my myLot account.  If you recall, this is the social networking site, like Facebook and Myspace, but actually pays you for your participation.  I participated in a couple of small "tasks" and posted about six statements and so far (drum roll, PLEASE !) $0.27.  I have to add that I AM really excited about this site because of the 25% referral commission one can receive.  If you play your cards right, and have QUALITY posters that are participating and are your referrals, you can probably make a good $50 - $200 a month over time.  Just don't expect to get rich quick and don't get frustrated when you your posts are too long and you think you should receive a big tidy sum for your efforts.  Just go there, have fun, and get paid over time !  It IS worth it to spend a little time there everyday.

So far, it looks like a grand total of  $4.16 !  Not counting profits from Second life.

In the next post, I think I will give an update on my Second Life sim experience.
