I make no bones about the fact that I love Wordpress and you really have to go a long way to finding a better open source publishing platform for the web. Because of this I’m always looking for Wordpress plugins to manage different tasks on my websites and sometimes I come across a plugin that really blows me away. WP Affiliate Pro is just that!
Monetizing your website or blog is key to its long term success and just like many tasks it can take a lot of time to do effectively. In addition affiliate marketing from my personal experience is one of the best ways to make money online. This is where Wordpress Affiliate pro comes into play as it makes it incredibly easy to create and manage your affiliate links across your Wordpress site.
So how does it work? Well like any Wordpress plugin its a simple case of installing the plugin and activating it via your Wordpress dashboard. Once activated you will be able to add an affiliate link to any chosen keyword that appears in any blog entry on your site. Now this feature alone is a massive time saver but WP Affiliate Pro goes a long way beyond that by providing the several more advanced features. I’ve listed these below for easy reference;
It automatically hides your affiliate links from visitors so they don’t see anything in the status bar and can’t right clock on the affiliate link
It allows you to control how many times you want each affiliate link to show up in a post
It allows you to track how many times each link has been clicked by visitors
You get product support
100% compatible with AdSense and other forms of contextual advertising
It allows you to change the colour and style of your links
So this is all powerful stuff and as you would expect this comes at a cost. Now to be honest you can get free plugins that provide similar functions and if you google for “wordpress affiliate plugins” you’ll no doubt find something however these have nowhere near the power of WP Affiliate Pro and personally, I’d rather pay a small fee ( currently $97) to get the real deal.
WP Affiliate Pro comes as one one our recommended Wordpress Plugins and you can make up your own mind by visiting the official website.

Automated Cash Formula
Make Money Online; Do Nothing! The Automated Cash Formula:
Again I spent $37 on a IM product. This time it’s called “Automated Cash Formula” by Dave Gale. After reading the ebook I searched on the net for its review. I could only find lots of bogus affiliate reviews. So I decided to write this unbiased review ( as always)
The Claim:
Make money on the internet without a website, a product, investment, traffic or marketing. Just spend few hours for research; send few mails and see cash rolling to your bank account- hands free!
The Formula:
JV brokering: In simple words “two tier affiliate programs.”
The Concept;
Recruit an army of sub-affiliates in any niche market; leverage your sub-affiliates effort; make small commission from sales made by your sub-affiliates.
If you are an experienced marketer, by now you should have understood this concept. And I cannot reveal exact step-by-step details of this concept as it is a paid product.
My Opinion:
This NOT a new concept as the author claims. This concept has been discussed on most of IM discussion forums. And I know few people who make pretty decent money doing it. This formula “may” work for you. But personally it’s not worth my time. And if you are one of those very “fortunate people” you would probably make a small fortune.
As you probably know, 5% marketers make 95% of the money. To make this formula really work you have to recruit those 5% marketers; that’s a tough job because those top marketers always get tons of JV proposals and deal requests. And you’d be very lucky to recruit 1 out of 100 proposals. But if that one person can make you hands-free money why not?
The Pro’s:
Reasonably well written step-by-step document on how to find a niche market; how to find a good affiliate program which pays decent two tier commission in your niche; how to find potential sub-affiliate who got high traffic site/list…. in a wizard format. It also contains a sample proposal letter for affiliate recruitment.
The Con’s:
I have already mentioned it in “my opinion.”
Scam Alert…Fake Income Claim!
I know many people would visit this page searching for “Automated Cash Formula Scam” etc… that’s a recent trend!

Blogging to the Bank
Blogging to the Bank was a very popular make money program some time ago, but then seemed to fall off of the map. Then, the owner released Blogging to the Bank released version 2.0 that is making more noise than ever before.
Before we get too in-depth into this, you should know one thing: part of the reason that Blogging to the Bank's new version 2.0 has been so wildly successful is because people had success with the first program. Those who have had success with it are obviously biased and are likely pushing the product for that reason.
There is something very special about using blogs to make money on the internet. If you are unable to keep your own website, blogs are a perfect alternative. Blogging to the Bank shows its users how to use blogs to make full time incomes on the internet. There are several reasons why blogs are perfect for this type of venture:
First, blogging does not require you to spend a dime. There are plenty of sources that allow anyone to keep a blog (like Blogger), and they are very easy to maintain. In fact, utilizing publishable articles and free lancers allow people to maintain blogs without even writing the content themselves.
Since there are no costs in keeping a blog, one can leverage this idea and make lots of money online. Many work from home programs teach good methods to make money, but one of the things that makes Blogging to the Bank so attractive is the fact that users don't have to spend money when starting and keeping a blog.
Second, blogs are very quick and easy to set up, and this allows you to leverage your time. Instead of spending weeks into developing a single website, you can put together a blog on a given subject in a matter of minutes. Just as with a website, you can promote affiliate programs and earn Adsense revenue straight from a blog. And, in the time that it would take you to create one good looking website, you can create a hundred blogs. This gives you a greater spread and more income potential across the board.

What's the best feature of Blogging to the Bank?
I might sound like a broken record here, but there is something special about blogging that you don't get with websites and articles (which are other ways to make money online). Blogs are so easy to do, and you don't have to be a good writer to make them. They can be created almost instantly, and there are plenty of resources that not only get blogs free and immediate traffic, but can help them look professional as well.
People often ask me, "What is the quickest way to get started?" I almost always tell them to start a blog. I tell them this because, if they can make a successful blog, then they can also make a successful website. If they can make a successful blog and/or website, then they can be successful at a lot of things. If you aren't successful with blogs, then you have wasted nothings, because blogging does not cost a dime - nor is it time consuming. Blogging to the Bank uses these factors to help its users make a lot of money.
I personally have two friends who have built their internet businesses from blogs alone. In fact, a friend of mine from college set up his website from utilizing only blogs, and I was so impressed that I built a site that shows the strategy that he created. See it here: The Joel Method. My other friend created his empire solely from blogger blogs and the advertising that comes from them. He generates up to $3,000 a month solely from free traffic on free Blogger blogs. See it here: Blogs and Adsense. Because I have friends who have made money using blogs, I personally know that the strategies in Blogging to the Bank are effective.
Where does Blogging to the Bank lack?
Perhaps I'm being picky here, but there is one thing that does bother me about Blogging to the Bank, and it is something on the front page of the site:
Two thirds down the page, the members of Blogging to the Bank are promised some cool bonuses. While that is all well and good, I wouldn't sign up just because of the cool bonuses that come with the program. Anyway, the thing that really gets me is that it says beside each bonus, "Next 100 people only!" However, we all know that that just isn't the case. That just seems misleading to me, and it irks me.
A good program like Blogging to the Bank should sell their services based on the strength of the program. Therefore, it bothers me to see this "hype" on the sales page. I know that they have a good program, but little things like that can reflect a negative image on the company.
My Recommendation
Blogging to the Bank has had great success not only because its users have had success using the program, but because it provides very easy to understand and free methods to make money on the internet. Blogs are a perfect solution for anyone who cannot or does not want to manage a website, and they are a very easy way to get leverage your potential on the internet.
Blogging to the Bank is very inexpensive, and it comes with an eight week money back guarantee. I am a believer in blogging, and I recommend that you at least give the Blogging to the Bank website a read. Not only have I blogged myself, but I have taught others the opportunities that exist in blogging, and I have seen complete internet marketing newbies have success with them. One of my friends has made $3,000 a month strictly from blogs!
Visit the Blogging to the Bank Website
Summary
Blogging to the Bank capitalizes on the power that is in blogging, and it teaches its members how to leverage the benefits of blogs into a system that generates thousands of dollars every month. Blogs allow even the most novice internet marketer to implement an easy strategy that can make anybody money. Blogs are easy to set up, easy to manage, and take very little time or effort, and this allows you to leverage your time to have a lot of exposure.
If you are new to making money online, Blogging to the Bank shows you methods to get started that don't cost you a dime. The easy step-by-step format will help you get started quickly and will have you generating an income solely from the free source of blogs.

Make Money Blogging
The question "How to make money blogging" sits high on every blogger's mind.
In fact I received many questions on "How to make money blogging". You can make money Blogging in a number of ways, and in this article I share with you up to nine ways in which you can make money blogging.
1. Make Money Blogging by Selling Advertising Space
Before the advent of Blogs, we have e-zines and selling advertising space on ezines was a popular way to earn extra money. If you run your own Blog, you can let others advertise in your Blogs with banner ads, solo ads, sponsor ads, classifieds and so on.
Now that we have Blogs, you can repeat the same business model that e-zine publishers do, that of selling advertising space.
One popular advertising company that helps Bloggers look for advertisers is Blogads (www.Blogads.com).
Besides placing advertisers ads on your Blog, you can also make money Blogging by placing Google Adsense into your Blog.
2. Make Money Blogging by providing technical services such as Blog hosting or setting up Blog
You can also earn money blogging by providing technical services such as helping people to set up their Blogs or providing your own Blog hosting service.
One example of this is www.typepad.com . This is a Blog hosting service provider that charges a monthly fee. Typepad lets you create your Blog and they will host your Blog for you, and provide you with a number of Blog features.

Joint Venture marketing is a powerful marketing strategy employed by many top online marketers.

6. Make Money Blogging by swapping blogs
You've heard of ad swapping when it comes to e-zine publishing, where publishers publish each other's ads in their own e-zines. This way, you save on adveritising costs.
You can repeat the same model to Blogs, as swap ads on Blogs as well. So instead of paying up front, you get to save, which means more money for you to spend!
7. Make Money Blogging by turning yoyr blog content into RSS feeds and sell it as premium feeds
Your blog contents can be turned into an RSS feed. If the content is good, you can look for web businesses that are looking for good content for related topics and sell their feed to them.
