Did You Know That You Can Make Money By Sharing Your Blog Links?

I began blogging at a point when so many things on the internet were still in infantile stages. A lot of folks were still going haywire over the music sharing applications and file sharing softwares at the time. It seemed as if every other website I saw was some sort of audio website.

This is where I first heard of sharing links for a profit. At the time I tested it out to see how well it would perform. To put it straight forward, it was a absolute waste of my effort. The only website this was profitable for was the pirating sites because they were sharing such a large number of download links, that it was easy for them to get an extremely large number of clicks, thus making real money.

Honestly I had all but put this idea out of my head until just a couple of weeks ago. At the time I was sitting on twitter when I person who posted it was using a link sharing profit program, only this one was masked as a “twitter profit” program.

I thought about it and came to understand that sense I had last tried link sharing profit programs, a whole lot about the internet has changed. One notable thing and the whole reason for this article, is the fact that microblogging has brought link sharing to almost a routine activity on the internet.

Sites like stumble upon, tumblr, and twitter are popping up on a day by day basis and are created for one real reason, sharing thought of social marketing. With social marketing you are sites and programs.

You are letting your acquaintances know exactly what you are doing on the internet. You are talking to partners getting them to signup for programs and services or getting them to buy products. All these things are about sharing links.

So I decided perhaps it was time to give this whole link sharing for profits concept thing a try again. The program I decided on is called link profit advertising. I chose this program for a couple reasons. First of all, unlike the twitter version of this program, link profit advertising has been in the game for a long time. They are well known in the area of music sharing and file sharing.

This means my likelihood of making money and actually getting a paycheck was much greater believer in trusted long withstanding companies in an industry. Second, they have what is commonly known in the seo world as search friendly links. Each link you create with link-profit is created with search engines in mind.

Lastly, they give you click based tracking, which is always important.

Now if you are lost and confused and have no idea what link sharing for profits even means, let me explain. Link-profit is a company that pays you $.0006 everytime someone clicks one of your links.

You create an account with them and are presented with a textarea to insert your own url’s. Then you submit and a list of url’s are given back to you. Each of these url’s adds a banner over your site and you get paid every time someone clicks your link.

Now if you are doing your math correctly, that means it takes hundreds of clicks just to earn a few pennies. Thats correct! However you are already sharing links!!!

Let me show you a real world example. For this example I am going to use blog advertising – my blog link: theda420.info

First I logged into my link-profit account. I then added my url theda420.info to the textbox and click submit.

A link was produced theda420.info.srm.link-profit.com

You can see by the created link that they keep it seo friendly. How? By leaving your url untouched – theda420.info remains exactly how it is, they just append more to it.

theda420.info.srm.link-profit.com Now if you visit the link you will notice a banner over top of my site. This is how I get paid.

So I retested the program 15 days ago. Not knowing exactly what to expect I only tested it on one of my microblogging sites, my twitter bots. On twitter I have 6 bots set up that post my links over and over to about 5000 people.

Now in the past 15 days I have generated $0.67. Doesn’t seem like its worth it right? But wait hear me out before you stop reading. First of all $.67 is not a lot but I as I just said, this was only one of my social sites. What if I had also been posting these links to facebook, myspace, tumblr, stumbleupon, delicious, or any other number of sites.

This $0.67 would easily turned into a few dollars. However whats great about link-profit is that it is set up to be a residual income. See I bet that you, like myself, also know people who share links on facebook, twitter, myspace, newsletters, emails, and a great deal of other places.

Thats what really makes this program so profitable, they allow you to make money off signing up friends who can also make money sharing links. They pay you 20% of the earnings of all your friends.

Basically what I am telling you is if you can get 10 or so people to use the service, and you also actively use the service to share links with others, you can easily have an additional $50 a month.

And if anyone is doubting I use this program myself, open my tweetboard or visit my twitter account and click any number of links you see. They all use the service because it works.
