My last post about 12 Daily Pro laid out the basics of the program. It's very simple. You join. You purchase upgrade credits. You surf for just a few minutes each day. 12 days later, you cash out your earnings. For each day that you surf a minimum of 12, you earn 12% of your upgrade purchase price. If you surf the required number of sites for 12 days, your total time investment is 48

For a little while, now, I've been seeing links to the traffic exchange called 12 Daily Pro. I looked into it, but couldn't bring myself to jump in. The big stopper for me was that they REQUIRE you to upgrade your account within 7 days by spending $6. If I'm going to spend even $6 on a traffic exchange, they're going to have to convince me it's worth it. No thanks.Then, I talked to my friend

One of the most important aspects of running a website is that you have to get traffic to your site in order to do anything. If nobody is looking at your site, then you'll never be able to interact with anyone, much less make any money in the process.Enter TrafficSwarm. TrafficSwarm allows you to visit other websites, most of which are business related websites. In the process, you earn 1-5

Have you seen StormPay yet? It's a payment processor that allows you to make payments or accept credit cards, much like PayPal, but with some other differences that set it apart. For one, they have an auction system with free listings. There's also an affliliate program that allows you to earn money by gaining referrals. I'm seeing them more and more around the net as an accepted form of

This stuff is fantastic. PurJava is a bottled concentrate of a high-quality coffee that you can make whenever you want. What's great is that you don't need to make a full pot of coffee to have a cup. What's even better is that it is GOOD coffee. I don't know about you, but I'm a serious coffee snob. At work, I can always get a sub-standard cup of coffee (and I do mean sub-standard. Usually,

What's the best way to make a small fortune in blogging? Start with a large fortune. It's an old joke, but it's still appropriate. If you're looking for a way to make a lot of money with a blog, you should probably consider another line of work.That said, it is possible to make money with your blog. That's what this is all about, right? There are advertising programs, referral programs, and

GreenZap is a new electronic payment service that is currently in pre-launch, similar to PayPal. They are promising a Summer 2005 launch, and they're currently accepting signups ahead of that launch. I point this out, because they're offering an interesting incentive to get new customers. GreenZap will put $25 into your account just for signing up.When I first heard about GreenZap, I thought

Sorry for the lack of posts through the weekend and yesterday. Real life intrudes. I've had a busy weekend, and yesterday brought me an emergency job that took up a large chunk of my day. I'm back, though, with a good question that needs answering. If you want to start a blog, where's the best place to go?Blogging services are popping up all over the place. Blogger/Blogspot is the host for

Just a quick post here. If you thought that the HonestyHits 10,000 free credits for joining plan was good, then you might want to try RaginHits. It's virtually the same plan. Heck, it runs the same software. Sign up, assign all those 10,000 credits, make sure you set it to only allow manual surfers to see your site, and step back. Same caveats apply as before. All RaginHits or HonestyHits

After writing a post about how you should blog every day, I proceeded to miss a day. It didn't go unnoticed. I don't know how I could have proven my point any better than by missing yesterday, but I assure you it wasn't a test of my theory.After not following my own advice, I'm here to revisit the same advice. Another great reason to blog regularly is that blogging is all about content. It's

I've written a few posts about how to GET viewers to your blog. If you're looking for traffic, I can't say enough about how you should join BlogExplosion, BlogClicker and TrafficSwarm. My last post also talked about how you can get 10,000 free visitors to your site from HonestyHits. These are all great tools for getting viewers to come to your site.Now that you've got some folks coming to your

This tip may not be for everyone. On this blog, I'm glad to demonstrate how the code works, so you can determine for yourself if it might be a tool you're interested in. The tool is called WordLinx. The basic idea is that you sign up for a membership and display small text ads on your site. If you look to the right, you'll see two text ad links below the Google adblock. The first of these is

The last couple posts have talked about traffic exchange systems. They're useful, and valuable ways to drive users to your blog. I've found a great system that's designed to help automate a lot of this process, and make it easier to get MORE traffic to your website. TrafficHoopla has a funny sounding name, but it looks like a fantastic way to track your memberships in traffic exchange programs

In my past post, I suggested TrafficSwarm as a great way to generate traffic to your site. Since I target this site directly toward bloggers, though, I thought it would be nice to point out a couple other traffic exchange services that are just for bloggers. With that in mind, check out these two services. Join up, and surf each of them for a while. They'll bring traffic to your site, and
