Information
My project is about depositfiles, hotfile and sharedimages.
Depositfiles and Hotfile is a file host which pay $4–$15 for 1000 downloads from WorldWide.
Sharedimages is a picture share site where you can earn money share your pictures to visitors from USA and EU, 1000 views = 1$.
So how can we do these two sites together.
All we need to do is make a post like following
I guess you see the post like this very much,
we make a post like this in forums or your blog, we will earn money will the viewers come in, the sharedimages will pay you when viewers click the sceenshot,
depositfiles and hotfile will pay you when viewers download the videos. You can earn money easy when you make some post in some forums with high traffic.
And next,
how can we make these post? All we need to do is copy a post from one forums to another forum, it is easy to do.
But read the forums’ rules before you post in forums, and don’t post spam.
Now, I show you how to do.
There are 4 steps in this guide.
1. find a post with depositfiles link or other filehost.
2. download the screenshot to your computer and upload to your sharedimages, and then you can get a bbcode for this screenshot.
3. upload the video to your depositfiles or hotfile, you can upload files from your computer, but it is very slow and difficult.
So you had better upload by url. In this step you need to be gold member for depositfiles to get direct links. Then upload it on hotfile.
Or you can upload from another filehost to your depositfiles or hotfile. It’s called remote upload. It’s very fast upload from filehost to filehost using direct file link.
4. make a new post. You will earn money when viewers come in. You can find some for you.
Best regards
Good luck

Get a free PR 10 back link
I ain’t kidding about this! You can get a free PR 10 backlink at no cost! and guess where does the link comes from? The same place where Page Rank does – Google.com!
First of all, let me clarify that this isn’t black hat or illegal. This is a plain simple way of getting a PR 10 backlink, just like you get a back link normally.
Have you heard about Google Profiles? Yes the service which allows you to create a web page with your details. Guess what? It also allows you to add a do follow link! This can’t get any better! I’m not sure if Google yet knows about this, but you can definitely take the benefit of this till then ;)
Steps to get a PR 10 back link
- Get a Google account (skip if you already have one)
- Create your Google profile
- Add a url to your profile
Done! You now have a backlink from a PR 10 website, Google.com. The benefit of this is, whether your have other websites linking to you or not, you will definitely have a PR1+ rank for sure! ;)
10 Ways To Make $50 a Day
One question that seems to never get a really good straight answer is "how can i make $50 per day online?". So I thought I'd give it a shot and show you a few ways to make 50 dollars a day by making small dollar amounts with multiple sources. Makes sense huh? I'm saying 50 dollars because it seems like a pretty reachable goal for most people. There's so many situations where beginners are handed the information on how to make money but they never do anything with it because they're either overwhelmed or just too darn lazy. Let me attempt to lay this out for you.
For example, we're going to set a goal to make $5 a day using 10 different ways. That equals to 50 bucks a day if you do the math. Now, the first part is reaching the goal of 50 a day. The important part is keeping it or increasing the dollar amount through out the month. You don't want to decline. If you achieve this, then you'll make roughly $1500.00 a month.
Materials needed:
- 10 programs or sites (I'll suggest some)
- Some marketing skills
- Strong desire to make a steady $50 a day.
- Computer, food, coffee and trucker tablets.
Recommended programs/sites/ideas
GPT Sites - You might say to yourself if you're a GPT site user: "Hey I can just make $5 a day on 10 different GPT sites every day". It's not exactly that easy. Why? Because offers run out and don't credit at times. That means that you're going to have to refer plenty of people to them. So I do recommend that you use your favorite GPT site with the best referral program. If you're not a GPT user, you can find some GPT sites here.
Offer your services - DigitalPoint has a great section where many people offer services to others and get paid for it. For example, you can make a thread offering to submit someones articles to social bookmarking sites and get paid for that. Easily make $5 a day. Some more examples are:
- Forum posting
- Article submitting
- Submitting to directories
..and more
Affiliate Programs - If you own your own blog or website, then you need to join some affiliate networks! You can promote sites and earn money by writing posts about them and by putting banner or text link ads on your site. When people sign up, you get paid. You're going to need traffic for this to work out, but not much because you're only looking to make $5 a day from it (or more). MAXBounty and NeverBlueAds are two of my favorites.
Adsense - Another nice income source but you need traffic for it as well. Get paid by Google everytime a visitor to your site simply clicks a text ad. A free blog at Blogger.com allows you to put Adsense on it. also, Blogger blogs tend to do well with search engine rankings. Sign up.
Sell stock photos - If you're pretty good with photos then this could be something good. Sell your photos on photography sites such as Shutterstock, Dreamstime or Fotolia.
eBay - People make loads of money on eBay everyday. Why don't you get your share? Remember, you can sell just about anything on there. If you have nothing to sell. Try Doba or another similar company. You can sell information such as ebooks as well.
Reviews for money - If you think you're no writer, think again. Anyone can do it. I'm willing to bet there's many people that would let you review them for $5. That's cheap! Use a free blog at blogger.com if you want. Get your site a little established and do the sponsored posts for even more. Try using services such as Payperpost and Reviewme. Do a paid review everyday or as often as you can. Also check out DigitalPoint again to find people to review.
Freebie sites - These types of sites are fairly popular. Ever heard of getting a free iPod? They're basically GPT sites except you get a reward for completing offers and referring some friends. Not only do they offer you a reward, they also give you the choice to take cash instead. They tend to payout much higher than a GPT site. Also, you can actually charge people to be your referral. People pay you from anywhere between $5 to 30 or even 50 bucks just to be their referral. A good place to find these people is at the Freelunchroom.
Opinion Outpost - These people are a survey company. The good thing about them is the referral prgram. Refer just 5 people to the site a day using your referral link, and that's $5 you make everyday. They pay $1 for each sign up, which is why I'm suggesting them. Register.
Par per install - A little about ZangoCash - When users visit your website and try to access protected content, they are prompted to install Zango. ZangoCash pays web you for every new install and each user is able to gain free access to content. They also have a referral program.
There you have it. 10 ways to make 50 smackers a day. Of course some programs will be easier to make 5 dollars or even way more per day. But eventually you can increase income as you gain traffic and knowledge.
For example, we're going to set a goal to make $5 a day using 10 different ways. That equals to 50 bucks a day if you do the math. Now, the first part is reaching the goal of 50 a day.

Paid Surveys: Payment Proof
First I want to start off by saying that any website that is asking you to pay to make money from surveys is the scam site of the century. Paying to take surveys online is the equivalent to paying to start a job, which is absolutely absurd in the real world, but thousands of people get taken by this ploy everyday online. What these sites are offering instead is a view of a webpage that has a database of survey companies that you can sign up for. To their credit, the only advantage they add is the convenience of seeing all of the companies in one place, but that convenience is not worth the $35 bucks they charge you for it.
Ok, so the last 6 surveys I've taken since the start of the month. Sometimes you will have invitations for the larger surveys that payout 500 points, but mostly you will get invitations to the smaller surveys that payout an average of 75 - 200 points. So the next question you probably have is about the time it takes. The 500 point survey required about 30 minutes but in general, the surveys will take about 10 - 20 minutes to take based on the topic. From this picture you can also tell that Lightspeed Panels is pretty good at sending invitations pretty often. These are just the surveys that I have qualified for and taken, but there are many others that I have received invites for, but I have not fit into the demographic of people they are looking for. If you have a family, this is great because anyone in your household can take surveys so that if they are looking for a particular group of people (for instance a child, a parent of a minor, or a female over the age of 40) they might be present in your family. Any who, enough of that, here is my payment:
Moving on, I just wanted to post some payment proof that I received today from Lightspeed Panels today. This paypal payment is from about the last 3-4 weeks of surveys. What I like about Lightspeed Panels is the many different prizes that you can get. In addition to paypal they have a ton of popular DVDs and other small gadgets. But money is my favorite thing to redeem my point for. Which brings me to my next point...Lightspeed Panel operates on a point system. The smallest about you can redeem (for Paypal anyway) is 575 points for $5 in paypal. I am telling you this to give you an idea of the payment per survey. Looking in my account for the last 5 surveys I've taken this is what I see:
If you are looking for other survey companies that help me earn some extra cash, check out
Opinion Outpost is another really good company. In general they pay $2.50 - 3.00 for surveys and they use a point system as well that is a little easier to understand than Lightspeed Panels'. 230 points translates to $2.30 and so forth. I can say that the majority of surveys that I receive are right around this range or higher. The one thing that I do not like about Opinion Outpost however is the payout, which is only in checks. I wish that they would make the move to online payment and I look forward to that change in the future. Where I cannot fault Opinion Outpost is the amount of survey invitations that I receive. I will get about 4 - 5 invitations a day and while I may not qualify for all of them, I am glad to be given the opportunity to make more money. Check out a screen shot I took of my backoffice:
Granted this was a time when I had not signed in for some time, but regardless they ar
e pretty good at sending invitations often. One thing that sets Opinion Outpost apart is the termination rewards that they give, while another company that I take surveys with has termination rewards (I'll talk about it later), Opinion Outpost gives you three options. If you have started taking the screening portion of the survey that you find that you do not qualify you will be taken to a page that offers you three options for your termination reward - a thank you for taking the time to come to the site and try to take a su
rvey. You can 1. Make a donation to a charity 2. Enter into the sweepstakes 3. Play an instant win game. You would think that many people only choose the instant win or sweepstakes, but I often find myself clicking the donate button and something like $40,000 has been donated by members (at $0.10/click thats pretty great), although I most certainly try the instant win every once in a while. And the great thing about the Opinion Outpost is that they give you enough surveys to do both. Here is another shot of my backoffice and and idea of the money I've made with this company:
Sorry, no nice pictures of these next few companies, but they are still great earners for me
3. SurveySavvy
SurveySavvy is similar to the last two companies discussed, where they are different is in the earning system, the surveys that they send are based on dollars and cents so that you know automatically how much you will be earning when a survey comes along. I like that this SurveySavvy generally has short and sweet surveys that take about 10/15 minutes to take. Also SurveySavvy spends some of its own revenue on incentives for its members, so that in addition to the surveys they also send different booster surveys, and other tasks that its members can use to earn. Looking at my backoffice since my last payment I have taken 9 surveys and I have a balance of$18.50, so that is generally about $2.05 per survey. Although Survey Savvy does not send invitations as often as Opinion Outpost, they are paced with Lightspeed Panels, but what I can say is that they invitation that they do send are pretty accurately matched based on your profile surveys so that you have a pretty good chance of qualifying for the surveys that you are invited to take.
Nothing really to say about this company, they are again the same as the other companies. They utilize a points system as well, but it is much harder to understand, so that a 20 minute survey will be something like 8 points. Like Opinion Outpost, Ipsos also has termination rewards, but instead of just clicking a button they have fun games to play that result in extra points or more recently entries into sweepstakes. The game that they have running currently is a "Guess the Percentage game". They ask a question like: "What percent of American males smoke a cigarette in the morning?" You guess the percentage and based on where your guess is to the actual amount you are given sweepstakes entries that can be spent on a number of 4 different sweepstakes prizes that have been anything from a backyard makeover to $1000 AMEX gift card. What I will say about Ipsos is that the prizes on which you can redeem points are excellent. They have anything from gift cards to just about every major online retailer from Amazon to Sephora to Target, figurines, and electronics that range from small stop watches to 52" Plasma TVs (which I am currently working toward, lol).
If you are hoping to get involved with surveys online I would say that it is best to open a separate e-mail account separate from your personal account and use that to sign up with the companies. Be careful now, the compulsion here is that you will begin to use this e-mail account for other things, its so fresh and new, unadulterated by spam, and it will be that way if you use it just for the survey companies as well, but when you start to use this new e-mail for other things, spam will slowly begin to flood your inbox and can crowd out your survey invitation so that you might miss some good opportunities.

Adsense Earnings
I have been a member of adsense for some time now, but I have only recently began to utilize my ads more efficiently, in terms of placement, colors, channels, etc. If you are a member of Google's adsense program then I would highly recommend that you take some time and read the optimization reports and suggestions so that you can begin to take better advantage of Adsense ads. After a bit of testing and optimization, I am making around $3-4/day on average, and growing. Here is a screenshot of today's earnings up until about 2:00:
Today I am going to talk a little bit about Google adsense and ad testing. When internet marketers and advertisers talk about testing ads, they are reffering to tracking the performance of certain ads, altering their colors and placements to track changes in performance and then making the necessary changes so that their ads are fully optimized. There are the different ways in which you can test your Google adsense codes:
1. Color Testing
There are two ways in which you can feature the adsense code on your page. As a part of the page in the sense that the colors correspond or in stark contrast to your page. Featured on this page, you will see that the adsense code is colored as part of the page. The colors match the colors of the page and there is more seamless intergration. You can also try a color scheme that is contrasting to your page. For a site like this, I would perhaps try Adsense code that looked something like this if I wanted to try and test contrasting code:
2. Ad Placement
Adsense makes it possible to take advantage of any and every unused space on your page. But adsense overkill can be a problem, and finding the right places on your page that will help to drive visitors to click on your ads is important. Playing around with adsense position can help you to optimize your earnings. I have found that inserting small bits of adsense code at the bottom of some posts help my earnings because visitor focus is already at the end of the posts, so that the next logical step for them is to click on an ad that might interest them. Placement in the header, footer, or sidebars, or even all three places will help you to maximize your earnings, and altering the placement of the ads can change the way that you earn.
3. Ad size
Ad size goes a long way in your page formatting and adsense earnings. Large and bulky ads that are not properly placed can not only ruin the flow of your page, but turn visitors off from staying on your page and clicking on ads. Finding the optimal size of the ads that you place on your page can also have a profound effect on your adsense earnings.
In these three ways, you can begin to take control over your adsense earnings, and by altering your ad color, placement, and size you can do major damage, or damage control. Testing your ads can only help you, and once you have begun to understand what works and what doesn't, you will be able to make the most out of every one of your ad placements, whether they be Google or otherwise.

How to Make Money Blogging: 7 Strategies to Help you Get Started Immediately
You can make money from blogging. It can pay for your bills. It does work for everyone. There’s no secret and you’ll just really need to know how to get started and which blogging framework to follow.
It’s not a difficult process at all and this post will provide 7 distinct methods you can use to generate substantial income from blogging. These seven methods are strategies you can adopt right from the beginning, preferably before you set up your first blog.
You can think of them as guidelines which point out the different options you have, if you’re serious about using blogging as a method of making money online.
1. The “Flagship” or Big Blog Route
This is simultaneously the most profitable and most time-consuming blog venture. The flagship method directs all your focus on a few blogs in order to make them incredibly popular in their niche. Flagship blogs should have a large audience as well as high daily visitor traffic numbers.
These type of big blogs have a wide variety of monetization options with direct advertising sales being a big part of it. Know that not everyone can successfully create a big blog so attempt this route only if you absolutely believe that you have the networking skills, niche knowledge and marketing know-how that’s needed.
* Benefits: Fame as well as more monetization options/potential for your blogs, alongside personal satisfaction. Another advantage is that big blogs usually market or promote themselves automatically once a certain level of fame has been achieved.
* Disadvantages: Very time-consuming especially if you are not outsourcing the content creation or marketing duties. Expect a lot of work and experiment with creative promotional ideas if you decide to go this route.
2. The “Pay per Post” or Get Paid to Blog Route
This is rather simple. Set up multiple niche blogs on either your own domains or free blog hosts like Blogger. Maintain them over a period of time and focus on writing content and building up their Google PageRank, link profile and Alexa Rank.
Submit all of your blogs to multiple get paid to blog websites like Blogitive, Blogsvertise, Review Me, Sponsored Reviews, PayperPost, LoudLaunch and then start writing sponsored posts. I highly recommending using PayperPost as they simply have the largest amount of paid offers available.
* Benefits: The greatest strength of this method is that you don’t even need a large audience to make money. 20 people could be visiting and reading your blogs everyday and you’ll still be able to make at least $15 a day from each blog. If skillfully done over multiple blogs, this method can allow you to easily make over $1.5 K a month.
* Disadvantages: No passive income. You’ll need to spend time writing multiple sponsored blog posts, which can be boring and time consuming. Work will also be needed to maintain your multiple blogs, although that will be minimal after they have been optimized and running for some time.
3. The Automated Blogging or Splog Route
Automated blogging involves the setting up of blogs which automatically pull content from RSS feeds, search engines and news sources to serve as content on your website.
Some bloggers set this to pull partial excerpts of RSS feeds, which does go against some copyrights and one can choose to only include excerpts with a link back to the site in question. Monetization for automated sites is usually done through contextual ads like Google Adsense or affiliate programs.
* Benefits: Very little work needed to maintain these blogs as they do not need you to actively generate or write content. You might need to do a little SEO and regular maintenance now and then. Try if you are adventurous.
* Disadvantage: A weak potential for profit unless you understand the entire process perfectly and if you have quite a large number of blogs.I estimate that a fully automated blog will make you around $5 a month although the actual value depends on the niche and your skills. Assuming that this is so, you’ll need 1,000 blogs to make around $5000 a month. Splogs dwell in ethically gray areas as well.
4. The Text Link Selling Blog Route
The main bulk of your income through this method comes from selling text links to various webmasters and businesses who want to improve their site ranking in Google. While text link selling works for the flagship or other blog models as well, sites can be primarily built for text link sales as well.
The overwhelming emphasis here is on Google PageRank and niche relevancy so you’ll need to focus on these two factors. You can either convert a domain into a text link and sponsored post selling blog or you can purchase a domain with existing PageRank to sell text links for a quick buck. I suggest looking for link buyers directly through webmaster forums.
* Benefits: Selling text links or contextual text links is rather easy and doesn’t involve much work. Potential for profit will correspond to your Google Page Rank and niche. A site with a high PageRank and a profitable niche (mortgages, credit cards) will be very attractive to link buyers. Like paid review blogs, traffic is not a factor in these blogs as well.
* Disadvantages: Over Reliance on the Google PageRank algorithm means that your income may rise or fall depending on your actual Page Rank. There may also be a limit to the number of links you can sell which leads to an income ceiling.
5. The Made-for-Adsense or Made-for-Affiliate-Program Route
This involves setting up a blog around a specific topic with moderately high priced keywords (e.g. teeth whitening, car loans). You’ll only need to create around 25 keyword rich articles on the topic, optimize it for search, set up Adsense or affiliate programs and then leave them alone.
The main emphasis is on building links to the specific webpages, according to the long tail keywords you want to target. Search engine visitors will then find your blog and either click on the ads or convert on a product.
* Benefits: Not a lot of time involved as you can usually contract an experienced writer to develop the keyword rich articles. Not much time is needed to update the blogs as well and new material can be added on a bi-weekly or even monthly basis.
* Disadvantages: There might be a lot of competition in a profitable niche and search traffic might not lead to sufficient income, unless you go for volume and set up dozens of similar websites in other niches as well.
6. The Blog Network or Contract Blogging Route
This involves joining a blog network and getting paid to maintain and create content for blogs. You’ll get paid according to the amount of pageviews, possibly receive a token base fee in the hundreds or a share of the blog’s ad revenue.
* Benefits. Relatively stable monthly income because of the base fee. Contract work usually leads to more freelance blogging or writing assignments because of your proven ability or association with a specific organization.
* Disadvantages: Why bother? If you’re that good at creating and promoting a blog, set up your own website and keep all the profits. However, it is useful to note that a lot depends on the type of network or contract agreement you receive.
7. The Blog-as-Marketing or Branding Route
This method will only apply if you own an online business or provide a freelance service like web design, copy writing or marketing consultation. A blog can be used to help promote your personal or business brand and attract more customers.
This is an indirect method of making money. Ideally, this sort of a blog shouldn’t be plastered with ads or paid reviews because it can tarnish the image of the brand.
* Benefits. A blog can help your brand or business to develop much more search visibility because it allows you to easily create more fresh content that caters to specific demographics as well.
* Disadvantages. Your blog will only be as useful as the quality of the service or product you are pushing. The amount of money you earn doesn’t entirely depend on the quality of the blog but the value of your service/product as well. Income is therefore indirect and can be inconsistent.

Conclusion
As you can see, there are several strategies you can choose if you’re interesting in making money from blogs. You can experiment with several of these methods in order to develop a better grasp of how blogs work or you can zero in on a strategy that appeals to you the most.

As always, be sure to pick one that suits your personal schedule and interests. Good luck!

About Me
- Legit Online Jobs
- I am a regular person just like you. When I got laid off and couldn't find a job at first, I started to look for ways to make money on line. I tried lots of different things and wasted a lot of time an effort on sites that didn't work. That's why I have decided to list sites that are free to join and actually pay. I also wanted to show proof of payment to make people more comfortable and show these sites are legitimate.
