Information on Revenue Sharing & A Few Top Sites.

Revenue sharing sites allow you to earn money due to Google advertising that is placed on the site. The site then shares it's revenues with those that post on the site. At some sites, you can also earn additional money by referring friends - If they become members of the site and post good content also.

Just like it used to be here, on Aidpage, those that made good posts, gave information or offered advice received a portion of the revenues that Aidpage got from the Google Adsense program. If they chose to be in the sharing program and had given the Aidpage team their Adsense code. Those that didn't opt in didn't get a share of the revenues.

But due to some issues, (caused by transparent backgrounds & Google ads not being shown properly) on a few homepages, Aidpage almost lost it's Adsense revenue. This money is important to Aidpage so it can be here. So they've discontinued the member revenue sharing program on here, this week.

Because some members here were negatively impacted by this decision. Even though they have the rignt to protect their own earnings, I felt that I needed to reach out to those effected the most. Especially those that count on the extra money they earn each month here.

I've decided to offer a listing of other revenue sharing sites that I've researched. I've picked out those I think are the best, but you can look for more sites if you like. This is just a list to get you started.

Bukisa.com
Burkisa allows you to earn money on the articles you write, but also allows you to earn money on those that you refer to them as well. Buksa has a two tiered system where you can make money from the articles that the people you refer write. Plus you making money on the articles from all the people that they refer too!

All writers are paid the same amount. All writers on Bukisa are paid according to an index. If the index is 3.95 each writer will get $3.95 for every 1000 views. But you don't need to get that many views on an article to be paid. You can make a little bit from each article you write. You are paid through Paypal when your earnings reach $50.

Currently, as of today, the index is at 4 - but you'll have to check the site. The index changes as the ranking of the site increases.

Bukisa is going to be adding a category for photos soon. This will offer the same opportunity for revenue as articles. It will give two opportunities to earn some money. To get more information and become a member at Bukisa.


Xomba
Xomba is another excellent revenue sharing site with a referral program. You earn ten percent of the revenue from any writer that you refer. You both still get the same amount, which is 50% earned revenue from Google Adsense ads on the site.

You need to have an Adsense acccount so you can enter your code on the Xomba site. If you don't have one, you can sign up for Adsense right on the Xomba site.

Xomba has only two types of submitions - articles of substance called Xombytes and smaller ones which describe a web page or site, called Xomblurbs. You can earn the same off either one. For those that you refer, you earn an extra ten percent off of whatever they post.

The Home page displays the higher ranking articles, which in turn tends to earn them more money since they are often viewed more. They share 60% of advertising revenue with users. To find out more check out the Xomba website.


Hubpages 
Hubpages is one of the top ten Adsense revenue sharing sites. It's currently one of the top 250 most visited sites on the web. The site has a good page rank and an active community of members that rate and comment on each other's articles.

In addition to sharing Adsense revenue they share Amazon Associates, Ebay and Kontera income from the articles you write. This multi pronged approach makes the site a real winner with writers seeking to build a stream on income from articles. They share 60% of advertising revenue with users.
 
Because it is a hub and not a blog, you can write a hub on any topic without worrying if it relates to anything you’ve written previously or anything that you plan to write in the future.  Write just one hub or write hundreds of hubs.  It’s up to you.To find out more go to the sites home page.


The Info Mine
In addition to 80% revenue from your articles you can place your own Amazon Associates links in the text of your article, as long as the article does not read like an advertisement.

If you just want to participate, they share 100% of Amazon Associates revenue sharing you don't even have to have an Adsense account. You can write about almost any subject, such as how - to articles, stories, travel blogs, etc. There's more information on their website to check out.


eHow 
For those that love to write how-to articles this is the best choice to make some money. Cook, decorate, fix, plan, garden, budget or update your wardrobe…that’s just the beginning of the kind of advice and inspiration you can find at eHow.

The more articles you write, the more your income will grow. They pay you monthly, directly to your PayPal account after you make $10. Your payments are directly linked to how much traffic your article receives, as well as the quality of the content. To find out more and become a member, visit the eHow website.


Squidoo  
Squidoo is all about lenses. What's a lense? Lenses are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest--and snap it all into focus. Like the lens of a camera, it's your perspective on something.

You could make a Me lens about yourself! Or a lens about your blog, website or social network homepage to help get more traffic to it. How about a lens for your eBay store or CafePress shop. Have a Hobby? Make a lens about it! Whatever you are interested in or have a passion for, you can make a Lens for!

Squidoo puts ads on lenses, plus you have the ability to recommend products via affiliate programs with Amazon, eBay, CafePress and others. The revenue that the company receives is split 50/50 - which you can have paid out in cash via PayPal or donate to charity.

Many earn more than $1,000 a year from Squidoo. Some have made $10,000. Others are just as happy with $40 or $4. It's your choice how you get your money for your contributions to the site. To find out more about Squidoo, go to their website.


Helium
Helium is a good place to start writing. They have a good community with articles covering many different topics. Other members also rate your articles and the community is fairly large. You can even publish your article on other sites, like Bukisa.

You get paid and keep the copyright of your article. But there is an option to sell your articles directly to Helium for exclusive rights. They pay $2-$15 depending on topic.

On the Marketplace you can directly sell articles for magazine publishers who can pay from $20-$200 per article.

Helium also has writing contests. There are usually around 10 active contests running for 2 weeks each. The top 3 ranked authors win $50, $30 and $10 respectively. If you want to check out more on Helium, visit the website.


There are many more out sites out there and many different ways to share revenue with a website. Try to join more than one so that you can get multiple income streams to guard against one not earning as much or maybe not being there anymore. Here are a few others to look at:

http://www.oondi.com/

adsence not making me any cents

Hi friends. Well it's been almost a year. I have Google ads all over the place on my blogs, websites, bla bla... and I haven't received any payments.

I think its more hassle then its worth. If I were actually given incentive to have advertising on my pages I might consider keeping it but to be used as free advertising? I dont like it.

*LEGITIMATE* WAYS TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE

So many people visit my blog page about "100 ways to GET money without a computer". So I thought I would write this one as well. I'm not on as often as I used to be, because the Lord blessed me with employment, so I will need everyone's help. And Please 

*****IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT YOU OR A FRIEND HAVE DONE AND MADE MONEY AT IT, WITHOUT AN INVESTMENT MORE THAN $5, OR WITHIN REASON*
 
I have made money 3 ways, not significant amounts, but I can see persistance would have payed off.
The first I tried was Ebay. I made $2.50 LOL laughable, but it was something. But you have to pay to sell something, which I didn't like, because I had zero dollars to my name. Number two was, I started my own website, and taught myself simple html, I really had fun with that, but no money. I became affiliates for everyone, but without exposure or an interest to the public, nada! I found aidpage, google-ing links for my website. I started blogging, and I joined "the team!" I really wanted to help people here after reading all the stories, so that's what I did and I forgot aobut making any money. Then I did! I made 5 dollars =O, I was tickled. So I created a sister blog, and another website (all free with google adsense) redirecting traffic from one site to another, but also sharing good info on where to find help, as I found myself finding the same information for person after person. It took me over a year, but I have made just under $300 . It has taken a long time, and it's hardly anything, but it's something. So I guess I just could have said GOOGLE ADSENSE! LOL
 
Now I want yours!!!!.....................

The Google Adsense Program?

So many posts from people who want to be able to work from home!  I checked my previous blog posts and I found that I didn't mention the Google Adsense program even though it has been mentioned here on Aidpage time and again.

What is the Google Adsens Program?  If you have a website or blog then you can sign up for the Google Adsense program by going to their official site and signing up for their program. 

You have to have a site to submit - meaning they will ask for the web address of your website or blog so that they can review it.  Once your site has been reviewed and approved you can then go through the steps to start putting the adsense ads on your site.

Once the ads appear on your site you will then earn money when visitors to your site click on the ads.  How much you earn per click is going to depend on the content of your site.  I have gotten individual clicks that earned as much as $4 and on the other side I have gotten clicks that earned a penny .  So how much you earn is going to vary.

On of the good things about the adsense program is that this is something that you will be able to do from home!  Just start a website or blog about something that you are passionate about and apply for the Adsense program.

Once you start seeing how much you are earning you will be curious about how you can earn even more money with the program - you will start experiment with your site to see how you'll be able to earn even more money.  And there are tons of websites out there with advice on how to earn even more Adsense money - and yes there have been people that have made over a million dollars with the Adsense program!

Some things to know - 1st you have to earn at least $100 a month before Adsense will send you a payment - either by regular check or by bank transfer.  Another thing to know is that Adsense is very strict on "click fraud" - meaning do not click on your own ads!  Once Adsense cancels you for click fraud it is very hard to get your account back - only a few have managed to do so.

But the Adsense program is something relatively easy to try so if you are looking for a legitimate way to be able to earn money from home than Adsense is definitely one way of doing it!
