Earn Money By Pictures

If you have a digital camera or a scanner to upload your photos to your computer, share them with the world and earn two incomes at the same time.

The ability to usephotographs online has evolved from simply uploading them for your own use to actually publishing them for an income source. Digital cameras come with the software to get your pictures on your computer. A simple “photo sites” Google search will supply you with plenty of places to highlight your photos such as Flickr. You can add them to your social network sites like My Space and Facebook.

You can actually get paid to post your photos online. There are sites to sell your photos outright called stock photos. You give up ownership. The other alternative is to post to sites like Squidoo, Flixya, Hubpages, and (my favorite) Triond. You maintain copyright this way. The way these sites work is to pay you so much per view, on the order of around $1.00/1000. You won’t get rich this way but with steadily adding content and promoting your own publications, it will add up over time. The submit sites are free to join. They earn the income to pay you through advertisements on your posts. Some work by letting you earn the income generated by clicks on Google Adsense ads and Chitika ads that have been added to your posts though your own accounts with these advertisers. Others share revenue generated through their own accounts.

Once you have published content, especially photos, you can upload the urls at Redgage for another income stream for the same work, around $.70/1000 views. In addition to earning for views, you can earn bonuses for being featured. Feature bonuses on photos run around $4.00 as compared to articles at around $2.00. There are also daily contests that pay $25.00. Payout is at $25.00 through a site-issued VISA debit card. Redgage also earns its money through ad clicks of its advertisers. It is not uncommon to reach payout on a monthly basis especially entering the contests.

Keeping Your Account From Being Disabled and Useful Books About the Program

How Can I Make Sure That My Account Will Not Be Disabled?
Google Adsense Program Policies make no allowances for deceptive practices. The most important thing a publisher can do to ensure the integrity of their site is to be aware of what is happening on your site.
Google has made it abundantly clear not to click on your own ads or ask others to do so. But what about practices a publisher may not purposely carry out?
Make sure that ads associated with Google never appear in an unrequested pop-up. Don’t be talked into purchasing traffic for your site that may contain adware.
Respect the Google trademarks. Don’t use any Google trademarks or logos without their consent.
Don’t change the Adsense code. If you’re a pro at html, don’t assume you can add your own code. If you’re new to html, simply copy and paste the offered code. Don’t mess with it.
Provide a good environment for advertisers and a positive user experience. Don’t try to be deceptive in any way. Google’s rules may sound strict, but believe me, protecting the integrity of the Google Adsense Program is in your best interest as well as Google’s. After all, a positive, honest Google Adsense program means more money for all of us.

Picking a Good Web Hosting Company

Picking a good web hosting company is important to keeping your website open and your costs down. There are many to choose from, as well as different pricing plans to look over. Depending on the amount of sites that you intend on building, you may want to consider a larger web space in the long run.
You should start with the smallest web space that you can get to test the waters, just incase niche website Internet marketing does not work out for you. You may want to add on later, so make sure that your provider offers that option.
You will want to choose a provider that has a reliable service. If your site is down or takes to long to open up when visitors are trying to get in, it may lead them to click out of your site and move on to the next one. They will also more than likely not visit in the future since they will remember their bad experience. For this reason, it is probably best to stick with a well known company who you can check reliable references on. There are many small hosting providers that offer space for as low as $.50 to $1 per month, however, you never know what you will be getting and many of them want you to pay for at least a years worth in advance.
You will also want one that has the most affordable hosting. If you can create your own small site or have one made for you, then you will probably be able to find space for as low as $3 to $4 per month. However, if you need to choose a company that offers a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) website builder, then you will probably end up paying $10 to $15 per month for the smallest amount of space. But if this is the only way that you can build a site, then it is necessary.
Some web hosting providers may also offer a deal on a yearly URL or other products when you make a web hosting purchase.
Ultimately, whatever web hosting provider you choose will depend on your individual needs and what you can afford. Hopefully you will be able to snap up a well known provider at a low price who will allow you to upgrade your service as needed.
