Making Money with Marketing Networking

I believe in "networking". When using Marketing networking, you are creating an interconnected group of people for the mutual benefit of all participants.

When an advertiser wants to promote their products, web sites and services, they need distributors to get the word out. With the use of the Internet, they gain additional exposure.

As I surf the net and read blog after blog, there is always someone looking to make additional income or providing a source that will enable you to make money.

Sponsored posts on blogs is certainly a creative way to network, plus it benefits the author of the blog. I already know that sponsored ads work and readers do click on the posts that are of interest to them. It's a good feeling to be able to help someone find information, a product or service they wouldn't have had the chance to find if they didn't read it on your site. This also gives you the chance to write often. Maybe you'll find that writing reviews or opinions is your niche and you can earn a decent amount of income each month.

Blogvertise is another forum which benefits all participants. Once your blog is approved, you will receive opportunities via email. It is your choice to accept or not. The payment of posts are varied: $5.00 - $24.00 for new accounts. Let's say you had 10 approved posts. You can earn $50-150

The popularity and traffic of your blog does play a role in how much you can earn, but this might also increase your desire to write quality content and promote to bring extra traffic to your site. Blogvertise gives you the opportunity to contact them and request an increase of payment after 5 tasks were completed and approved.

It's a simple process to register.

Blogvertise's site is easy to navigate and offers a question and answer page if you would like to learn more.

Blog For Money

If the thought has ever crossed your mind about including blog advertising on your blog, I want to make you aware of a great site. Smorty.com allows a person to get paid to blog.

Smorty is the middle man so to speak...bringing advertisers together with bloggers. You simply write opinion posts about a product, service or website. Once the post is approved, the blogger gets paid. That's it !

You can choose subjects that interest you or pertain to the topic of your blog. If you have multiple blogs, you can include your opinion posts on all of them and while doing so, earn money and build unique content in your blog.

It is Free to sign up with Smorty...Simply, easy, and get paid weekly for your efforts.

I have found this is an added way to make extra money from blogging. We all have opinions and this is a easy way to share them and get paid in the process.

There are unlimited ways to make money online, but if you already have a blog, signing up with Smorty and deciding to blog for money is a win-win situation.

If you have any costs associated with having your blog; such as hosting, this is a great way to absorb those costs.

Why PayPerPost?

You may have noticed sponsored ads appearing on this blog. I was first introduced to payperpost after reading a blog I came across on the mybloglog community. This blog reviewed payperpost in a positive way and my curiosity got the best of me.

I thought about including these sponsored ads on this blog for awhile and after weighing the pros and cons, decided it was a good idea.

I have become a member of payperpost due to the ease in which you were able to join and the wide variety of opportunities available to me. Membership is free.

I believe in a win-win situation, where everyone can benefit. The Sponsor, the Blogger and the Reader. With payperpost I can pick and choose a company or product that will benefit my clients and/or readers.

We should take every opportunity to learn what is being offered if it is of interest. Networking is extremely important and it's effect is what we all strive for. Whether it be word of mouth or blog marketing.

As with television that brings you sponsored ads for sales, new products,etc... I will be able to bring attention to certain products and/or web sites that some would not ordinarily be exposed to. I myself learned about web sites that I can benefit from when I filtered through the opportunities on payperpost .I doubt I would have had the chance to know about these sites had I not found them on the payperpost site.

I also believe that this will tune up my writing and communication. These sponsored ads are reviewed and they all have guidelines which must be followed, so the posts must be of quality.

The addition of Sponsored ads is an added perk to me as a blogger.I have already become addicted to writing and look forward to writing posts. I have been getting positive feedback, so I know I have been successful in bringing information to my readers and/clients that they found useful.

I hope I am able to bring a post that will interest you and can benefit from.

How Well Do You Communicate?

Have you ever felt communicating with someone can be difficult or challenging? or When speaking to someone, whether it be at work,home or in our personal relationships, messages can easily be misunderstood, misconstrued and mistaken for something they're not? Surely that can lead to confusion and frustration.

We have to remember people have different goals, tempers, backgrounds, perception, ideas and personal rules. I think if we keep that in the back of our minds when communicating, it will make it easier to get our point across.

A person can be successful when communicating if you have the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as your own.

Think of how many times you've said, or heard others say: "But I thought you meant...." or "I assumed you were talking about...." or "No, you've completely misunderstood what I was saying."

These little phrases come out of our mouths daily. We're so used to saying them we don't think about the wider implications: that it sometimes requires really hard work to make ourselves clear and to get ourselves understood by others.

When someone is talking to you, listen with the intent to understand first, not impose your ideas. Once that person feels heard, he or she will be open to then listen to you.

Effective communication occurs only if the receiver understands the exact information or idea that the sender intended to send. Most successful leaders have one thing in common...strong communication skills. They have the ability to effectively communicate and connect with all different types and kinds of people and personalities

Snapshot Report

Insightfulness
_____________74 (out of 100)

Your results indicate that you are fairly adept at interpreting other people’s words and actions and seeing things from their perspective - although the rare misunderstanding may occur. Overall however, you seem to realize that empathy is an essential part of good interpersonal skills and therefore, will do your best to place yourself in other people’s shoes in order to better understand them. For the most part, you can sense what others are thinking and will likely adjust your behavior accordingly if a person you’re conversing with seems confused or perhaps uncomfortable. There may be the occasional time when you pay more attention to the message you’re sending rather than how it’s received. With some time and experience, you’ll likely be able to improve your insight even more.

Social Networking Sites

If the phrase "Social Networking site" brings to mind only giggly teenagers or finding a date, think again.

Entrepreneurs are using these sites to get advice and recommendations from other business owners. They're also finding employees, meeting potiential clients, investors and attracting customers.

These sites may offer limited marketing tools, but they are worth looking into.
You can create a profile, link to other profiles and networks. Members have a fair amount of control over how much information you want to reveal to other members.

You can post to various discussion groups, bringing attention to your company. Reconnect with past clients, business associates, or former contacts.

Thinking of starting a new company? Check out JumpUp. Created by Intuit, it offers many tools, including templates for business planning and financial calculators

If you have a business plan and looking for investors. Look at Go Big Network, which aims to connect start-ups, investors and job seekers.

Entrepreneurs wanting to broadcast their business might want to check out iKarma. Customers can rate and review services.

LinkedIn is the largest social networking site for business. Reconnect with former clients/colleagues, forge partnerships, hire new employees or attract customers.

Ryze's strength is probably as a source of advice from other business owners. It has 19 groups for entrepreneurs and 10 for small businesses which include those specifically for women entrepreneurs, start ups and even entrepreneurs with attention deficit disorder.
