How would you like to make money doing something you do every day?

A new website called Mahalo is willing to pay you money to do something you know how to do – search the internet.

Mahalo is a human-powered search engine that creates organized and comprehensive search results for the popular search terms. In essence it is a mix of Google, Wikipedia, and Squidoo all rolled into one.

Mahalo aims to incorporate the human element to search, based on a concept that there is a difference between human generated content and automated content in it’s ability to identify what is valuable to a web surfer and what is junk.

There are some paperwork you must fill out and send in to Mahalo in order to be paid. Before you can be paid for the accepted SeRPs you create, you must complete the Master SeRP Purchase Agreement (MSPA) and send it to Mahalo.com. You will not be paid for your work until we receive your Master SeRP Purchase Agreement completely and correctly filled out. You will also need to fill out tax information before you get paid.

Do They Pay?

From what I’ve been told, Mahalo is very strict in accepting search pages, but once they are accepted they pay their guides well.

Mahalo Greenhouse Guides are paid for the search results pages (SeRPs) they create that are accepted for use on the Mahalo.com website. Each search result page is paid at the rate stipulated on the Most Wanted List at the time of acceptance.

Mahalo Mentors and Mentor Directs are paid for the search results page they create. They are also compensated $10.00 for each reviewed search result page from Greenhouse Guides ranked PTG-New and PTG, and $5.00 for each reviewed SeRP from Greenhouse Guides ranked PTG-Plus.

What do you think?

I am interested to know what your experiences are being a Mahalo Guide. Since it is a fairly new program, there is little feedback from current guides.

So, you want to make money online, eh? It’s not as easy as some folks make it out to be, you know.

Well, let me rephrase that…

It IS EASY make money online, but it takes HARD WORK in order for you to make enough money to quit your day job.

Do you honestly think you’re going to make some money by making a junk website filled with Adsense and banners? Seriously, you might make 10 cents — if you’re lucky.

If you are really serious about making big money online then you need a product then you need to promote that product. Sounds easy enough right?

Lets break down the process a bit more.

3 Steps to Making Money Online.

Step 1. Creating A Product

Info products are hot hot hot! I recommend you buy a PLR product from a trusted individual on forums and use what was taught inside. The best place to get a TON of PLR products is PLR Membership Online . PLR Membership Online provides it’s members with 650 new fresh PLR articles EVERY MONTH! What’s even better is that for a very limited time, you can get instant access to a ton of Unique PLR articles that you can use to build your own product for only $9.75 a month. That’s probably less than your hosting costs each month.

Anyway, once you’ve found a good PLR product, read it then rewrite it from your own point of view.

Step 2. Figure out Your Method of Attack.

Are you going to sell your new eBook or give away a sample page, or just give the eBook away for free. Both methods have their advantages.

If you’re going to sell your eBook, then you are going to have to price it just right. You don’t want to price your product to cheap, but at the same time you don’t want to charge an arm and a leg either. When figuring out your product’s price, ask yourself, ‘How much would I pay for this eBook?…. not ‘How much can I make with this eBook’. You will be a lot more successfull if you put yourself in the shoes of the buyer!

Another strategy is to give a way a sample page of your eBook, in hopes of luring prospective buyers into buying your entire ebook.

Step 3. Get traffic!

There are several very effective ways (and free) ways of getting traffic to your product.

1. Submit your site to high ranking Social Bookmarking sites
2. Articles Directory. – Write articles everyday promoting your product and you will see results quickly!
3. Advertise on classified ad sites such as Craigslist.

Be creative! You just need to get your message out to as many people as possible.

If you’re not willing to take the time to work hard, then you will not make more than a quarter online. Don’t be afraid to be a little different and think outside the box!

Cashing In with Google Adsense

No doubt about it, Google Adsense is a very hot topic on forums, newsgroups, and ezines. Does it seem as if others are making a killing with Adsense each month except you? With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense has become an instant hit.

But how is it that some publishers are making $1000 paychecks each month, while you’re lucky to get $1 in clicks?

There is a simple formula to Google Adsense success.

Traffic + Content +Proper Ad Placement & Format= More Clicks & More Income $

1. Targeting high traffic is a very important factor in getting more clicks to your website. The more traffic, the more clicks….it’s really a numbers game.

Check on your stats. What are your daily impressions? What are your monthly impressions? Most importantly, what can you improve these numbers?

2. High Quality Content will help you improve your traffic stats. People surf the Internet to get free information. By providing quality content on your site, you are giving your visitors what they are looking for.

The key is to provide quality, targeted, and unique content. Never think that by copying and pasting articles from free article directories is enough to get by. Your best bet is to write your own articles or at least rewrite PLR articles.

3. Proper Ad Placement and Format can improve your click through rate. The biggest mistake I see with newbies is poor Google Adsense Ad placement and format.

Step back for a moment and look at your website through the eyes of your visitors.

Placing an ad unit after your first post will likely catch your readers’ eye. Google also suggests placing a Skyscraper (120×600) or vertical link unit on the right side of your blog. But remember, these are just suggestions. To

To increase the likelihood that your readers will see and click on your ads, blend your ad units into the background of your blog. Choose a bold color for the ad title to help draw attention to your ads, then make sure that the background and borders of your ads are the same color as the background of the area where the ad is placed.

There is one more thing to keep in mind with it comes to your Adsense income. Some keywords pay higher than others. For example, the keyword “cat toys” most likely pays a lot lower than the keyword “debt consolidation”.

What I’m trying to say here is that if you run a site based on low paying keywords, you won’t make a lot of Adsense revenue UNLESS you get A LOT of traffic.

The key to success with Adsense is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your site. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits.
