A Guide To Making Money On The Internet

I’ve just about recovered from my weekend which I spent Saturday rocking with the Arctic Monkeys and 1000’s of fans at their biggest gig to date. The location was Lancashire Cricket Ground, the weather was perfect and the show was amazing. Billed as a mini festival it really did live up to it’s hype. I’ve been a huge fan of the Arctic Monkeys well before their first album came out but have never got round to seeing them but I must say it was well worth the wait. Joining the Arctic Monkeys were a host top bands hand picked buy the Monkeys themselves. Opening the show was Japans top Beatles tribute band The Parrots. Now I know that doesn’t sound appealing but there was something strangely appealing about them. Then came Amy Whitehouse ending speculation on weather she’d turn up or not. The Coral were up next and then Supergrass before the long wait till the main event.

Bangbros is the biggest adult website network on the internet with around 18 websites to date. With their yearly turnover in the millions it’s a great affiliate program to get involved with. Before you dismiss the idea because you don’t want to get involved with adult content, you have to remember that its business and a key factor to success is finding a affiliate program that sells well and with Bangbros that’s exactly what you get. It’s a well know fact that sex sells well on the internet, gone are the days where you’d see some old guy trying to hide his face as he walks out of a sex shop with a brown paper bag full of videos. Now he can purchase it anonymously in the comfort of his own home and because its so easy he’s like to buy more.  Bangbros affiliate program is free to sign up too (as are just about all affiliate programs). Once you have signed up and been approved you can log into your affiliate control panel for the first time which can simply be described as the best I have used. The features that it offers are firstly a stats page that is constantly updated with how many clicks your links are producing, number of sign ups and amount you have earned. You also get a huge amount of promotional banners and free content (about 70% to 80% of the full site content) to incise people to sign up. Payment wise bangbros is one of the highest paying affiliate programs that I have used. They pay $35 per sign up and then further payments for any renewals that your original sign up provides. They also pay $200 dollars per webmaster referral (so if you find this review helpful and intend to sign up please do so from here. I would do the same for you). I find that the sign up rate for me works at about 1 sign up per 80 clicks so if you can increase traffic from your links to about 500 clicks a day your talking a nice profit of about $175 (£87.50). 

I’m rather fussy when it comes to selecting affiliate programs. Before I sign up I make sure they tick all the boxes. Pays well, is a product that will sell well and has a good control panel to keep you up to date with happenings. Bangbros has all of this. So if your new to the affiliate market or a true pro I really suggest trying Bangbros and like I said earlier please sign up from one of my links. It won’t cost you anything and it will enable me to carry on bring you useful information via Monty-blog.com instead of getting a real job. Hope you’ve found this useful.

In my time I’ve set up many websites and used various different web hosting packages so I feel confident to give advice on the subject. Today, I’m going to talk about Bluehost Web Hosting:- 

Bluehost costs $6.95 (£3.45) per month, which I think you’ll agree is a great price. If you want to know what you get for that price read on. 

Bluehost offers 2000 GB of bandwidth, 200 GB of storage space and 2500 email addresses. Bluehost, does not host as many accounts as some of the top products, such as iPowerWeb but they are growing. First and foremost, Bluehost offers a large amount of storage space and a contending bandwidth, making it a powerful host. They also offer several free script plug-ins such as, chat, blogs, polls, web auctions and bulletin boards and for those of you wanting to use Wordpress for your blog Bluehost, have it already pre-installed. They also provide a powerful website stats tracking system so it’s easy for you to keep up to date with your sites traffic. 

Bluehost offers email, telephone and chat customer support and has a huge help section that covers most questions you may have. On a personal note I will just say that the Bluehost customer support has been fantastic. Any emails I have sent have been answered with in 30 mins and their replies haven’t consisted of look at the help section (if I’d have found what I was looking for I wouldn’t have emailed you!) 

The Bluehost control panel is the best I have used. The entire menu is on one page, so you don’t find yourself searching through page after page, to find the tool you want to use. 

To sum up Bluehost offers exceptional bandwidth and storage coupled with excellent customer service for a low price.

I’m a huge fan of playing poker online, so I thought I’d post a series of reviews of just some of the choices out there.  I thought I’d start with Ladbrokes seeing as it was my first taste of playing poker online. Ladbrokes Poker is the busiest poker room in Europe, which considering that Americans aren’t allowed to join, is quite an achievement. Ladbrokes has some great features, such as it’s tournament leader board – where the most successful tournament players of the week, month and year are rewarded with (very) big cash prizes. The Ladbrokes graphics are ok but far from the best. The table design is very basic, but on a positive note it makes it simple to navigate. The main factor when looking for a good online poker vender is playability and Ladbrokes delivers on that front. As I’ve said above it’s easy to navigate. The software used runs very smooth and wide arrays of stats are provided to keep you up to date. Ladbrokes Poker provides many games such as Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 card stud and 5 card stud, as well as a terrific range of tournaments. As you’d expect from a well known name like Ladbrokes the payment option is easy, because they accept all major credit and debit cards. Ladbrokes also provide some handsome promotions such as 25% cash back on your first deposit up to a total of $100. In order to claim the bonus you simply need to stake the initial value of your deposit within 14 days – which will not be hard if you play regularly. All in all Ladbrokes Poker is certainly up there with the best of them. If you’re more about game play rather than graphics, this is the Poker site for you.  

Overall                   8/10

I’ve been earning money on the internet through affiliate programs for a while now. As with everything it starts slow but if you put the work in it will soon grow and believe me you will be over the moon with the return. The other factor to success is choosing the right affiliate program, so I’m going to be posting reviews on just some of the programs out there. Here’s my first:  Huge traffic is an American affiliate program that covers Fling.com. If you haven’t heard of Fing.com, it’s an adult dating site that was launched in 2006. As you can see from the site here it’s a very attractive and well designed, so if people are looking for those types of services there more likely to go for fling rather than the not so attractive competition. That factor alone spells high conversion rates (as long as you put your affiliate links in a place they will get high traffic). I probably should have started with how much they pay per referral because lets face it when signing up to a new affiliate program it’s the deciding factor. Well you’ll be please to know that they pay $35 per sign up and a whopping $200 per webmaster referral which is a fantastic price just for someone signing up to their site from a link with your code in. Not only do they pay well but they also have one of the best stat manager’s that keeps you constantly up to date with hits, joins and earned. This enables you to optimize your earnings, for example if you aren’t getting many hits you need to move your links to a location that will get more traffic through. It’s free to join as are all affiliate programs. Many people think affiliate programs are to good to be true or a con. I can assure you that their neither. Look at it this way, making that much a sign up does seem like it’s too good to be true but they make a lot more than that for each sign up. So they can afford to pay you $35 for your efforts. With regards to being a con I’ve never signed up to a program that has failed to pay and you don’t have to hand over credit details etc. So it’s all very safe. 

As affiliate programs go Huge Traffic ticks all the boxes. Promotes a product in demand, pays (very) well and keeps you up to date. If your looking to start making money on the internet through the affiliate market this is a good place to start. Take a look for further information Huge Traffic
