Myspace is one of the most highly visited websites on the planet, so it’s no wonder why internet marketers, from beginner to guru, attempt to make money on this flood of traffic every day. There are hundreds of millions of Myspace users, so even you only converted a small fraction of the total Myspace population into sales, you would make a ton of money.
Having said that, it’s easy to assume that all the internet marketers have already jumped on to try and cash in, so the market is over-saturated. You might also think that you couldn’t possibly tap into the hoards of traffic unless you had a massive friend’s base and/or know the right people. Sadly, part of that is true, but the optimistic side says that there are still plenty of possible ways to make money on Myspace.
The trick is finding out how.
Making money on Myspace may not be as easy as it was in the beginning, but as an internet marketer, you should know that the best way to do something is to take an existing model, and improve it. Re-inventing the wheel successfully takes lots of research, resources, and stuff that most average internet marketers don’t have. Improving on an existing idea only takes a great idea, and action.
Great ideas and action is free. See what I’m saying?
Let’s take a look at a few ways that internet marketers are cashing in on Myspace:
1. Account Farmer – Yes, there is quite the demand from people who want accounts with tons and tons of friends already in it. I’ve personally seen accounts with thousands of friends sell for hundreds, sometimes even thousands of dollars on different webmaster forums. So you can make money doing this. Growing these large Myspace accounts with thousands of friends is no easy task (unless you have a script that will do it for you), but it can be well worth the effort. I wouldn’t consider selling one until it hit around the 5000 friends mark – at the very least. Most of the big ones have tens of thousands of friends.
2. Bulletin Advertisements – Sending out bulletins isn’t quite as popular as it once was, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make a few bucks off of it. One of the main reasons people buy and build accounts with thousands of friends, is so that they can send out mass bulletins, which usually refer the friend to some sort of affiliate or cost per action site. This can be a tricky one, because many bulletins these days are spam, so if you’re serious about doing this, hire a sales copywriter (or learn how to write good sales copy yourself) to write your bulletin and make it extra catchy. If the ad is presented right you could make a few thousand dollars (or more) in no time.
3. Start a Myspace Resource Site – This one never fails to amaze me. There are tons of resource sites out there, but it seems that they are still a very hot commodity to own. These are basically sites that people have stocked with funky images, girly text, layouts, and all of that stuff you see crammed onto people’s pages. There are turnkey Myspace resource sites you can buy and just promote, but the best way is to build a unique one from the ground up. If promoted right, it could make money pretty easily!
There you have it, three great ways to make money with Myspace. Take these ideas and add your own twist to them and you could be cashing in on Myspace in no time!

Beginners Make Money Online With Yahoo Answers
How to make money online with Yahoo! answers.
Yahoo Answers came on the scene a while back to provide a user to user help site that deals with pretty much anything you can think of to ask. With the amount of people online, pooling everyone’s knowledge is a fantastic way to find answers to questions that maybe you couldn’t find the answer to in more traditional means.
Yahoo Answers is a very popular site, and has millions of users who ask and/or answer questions every single day.
As with any other social or peer site that has a large audience – it drew the internet marketers to it like stink on shit, and a number of creative internet marketers have found some very lucrative ways to make money from other people’s problems.
The last sentence is probably the “golden key” to any internet marketing strategy that has ever existed – find a problem that people have, and present an easy and quick solution. Viola! If you can do that on a regular basis, you can make a lot of money in no time at all.
Yahoo Answers provides the perfect venue for presenting solutions to problems, and there is an almost never ending supply of opportunities to make money from this. Here is a quick step-by-step guide on how to do just that:
1. Find A Question To Answer – Head over to YahooAnswers.com, and start browsing through the wide array of questions on their site. The trick is to find questions that have zero answers or very few answers, that way you’ll get your answer towards the top of the list – so that every time someone finds the question and reads the answers, yours will be first.
2. Tying in to step one, you not only want to find a good question, but you want to make sure it’s one that you could somehow tie in with an affiliate program. For example; somebody asks, “How do I fix the red light error on my Xbox 360?” This is a prime opportunity to cash in for two reasons:
- Many other people will probably come across this and also want to know the answer.
- I just happen to know that there are a few guides on Clickbank.com explaining how to fix this very problem.
So, now that you’ve found this opportunity, you need to work fast and act on it so you can make money from the question.
3. Head over to your favorite domain registrar, and pick up a cheap .info domain for a couple bucks, and try to have one that is related to the problem, e.g. www.xbox360redlighterror.info – or something like that.
4. Log in to your hosting account, and forward the domain to the affiliate ID you got from the website that sells this guide. In this case it’s Clickbank.
5. Go back to the question, and this is important – give a real honest and good answer to the problem, but leave them wanting more. At the end of your answer, suggest they visit the domain that you just bought and had forwarded to your affiliate URL. Also, add it into your resource box.
It’s really that easy! Now every time someone comes across that particular question, the first answer they’ll see is yours, and they will almost always click through to the site you recommended (which is your domain that forwards to your affiliate URL). If they buy the product you recommended you instantly make money!
This type of scenario could make you a very nice passive income for months and possibly years to come. So what are you waiting for? Start using Yahoo Answers to make money online right now!

Make Money Online: Selling Art
Before the internet and online stores came about, artists used to have to rely on contacts, luck and local shops to get their work to buyers so they could make money. While some people managed to move to New York or Los Angeles and become well known as artists, far more were stuck trying to sell their art to local shops, galleries and at art fairs. Making money off your art was much more difficult before the internet.
With the internet at your disposal, however, you can show your work to the entire world. You no longer have to rely on Polaroid's sent to far away art dealers or the local art festival to show people your work. All you need is a simple website and whatever your art is (crafts, painting, photography, woodworking, sculpture, etc) - you have an entire globe of buyers at literally at your fingertips.
So how do you sell your art to make money online?
The first thing you want to do is to create an online presence in the form of a website. Your website does not have to be complicated. It only needs to be a place where you can display photos of your work and a way for customers to contact you. Thanks to blogs, creating your own art site can be done in a few minutes and you could start making money online quickly!
Once you have a website, you will want to start promoting it. How you promote your website is up to you. If the focus of your website is selling your art, however, you will want to start visiting sites that are geared towards art and artists. Join a few online communities and learn about making money online through marketing art.
Don't be afraid of eBay. eBay is a great way to make money online selling art. While you might not be in love with the idea of eBay, it is one of the best ways to sell your products. Just about everyone has used eBay at one time or another. You can use eBay to auction off a few items or you can set up an entire eBay store devoted to your products. This is an especially good place for people who are still developing as artists.
If you have a fair amount of experience and know how to put your talent to good use, you should look into Etsy.com. Etsy.com is an online shopping portal for handmade goods. It is where people sell any matter of things from hand painted note cards to quilts to handmade clothing and toys. If you have confidence in your work, Etsy is a great way to sell your work and meet other artists!
It might take some time, but eventually you will build up a name for yourself and you will be able to make money online selling your art through your website!
