Darren at Problogger is having another Group Writing Project, this time on Top 5 posts.  There’s a cool grand up for grabs, so hopefully I can get lucky and snag first prize.  I decided to put together my top 5 money makers.

Google Adsense - Still far and away, one of the best ways to make [...]

There are lots of posts here about how to make money online. Heck, this here blog that you’re reading is focused on that topic. Well, for the most part, when I’m not off talking about llamas or some such thing. Anyway…. What if you’re looking for ways to *not* make money online? [...]

(guest post by Alex)
We’re all paranoid to a certain degree.
Bombarded by endless sales messages and claims that seems too good to be true, our subconscious brains use certain mechanisms to steer us in the right direction.
One of those is figuring out what the “catch” is.
19th century philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer puts an interesting spin on [...]

I was reading a post just the other day that Mitch wrote on Harpzon.com, about the downside of monetizing a blog too early in it’s life. He has some good points, especially about progressing from publishing free information to selling ebooks.
However, I have trouble agreeing with the whole concept. When you first start [...]

There’s been some discussion about lately, about whether third party advertisers such as Text Link Ads, Review Me, and Sponsored Reviews are really needed. Here are a few people’s differing points of view:

John Chow thinks that the relationships are important, and we need to continue using them. Without these services, John says, we [...]

Making money online is a tricky business.  The key word there is business - if you’re trying to make money online, you are essentially running a business.  Now whether you’ve taken the time to actually set up an LLC or a corporation is irrelevant at this point.  The fact is, you’re in business, and you need [...]

Perhaps against my better judgement, I just installed the code for Kontera ContentLink.  This site normally wouldn’t qualify for ContentLink due to traffic, but I have John Chow and his partnership with Kontera to thank for the opportunity.
Kontera ContentLink ads are the blue double-underlined ads you now see sprinkled throughout the content here.  I will [...]

Daniel over at Daily Blog Tips ( one of my favorite daily reads, by the way ) recently posted on the concept of “Underpromise and Overdeliver“. The concept is one that I’m very familiar with, and make an effort to put into practice every day.
The concept is especially important when dealing with customers or [...]

This post is a sponsored post, as part of the SponsoredReviews.com program. Though the post is sponsored, my comments and opinions are honest and unedited. I have never, nor will I ever, participate in a paid posting program where I’m required to review a service positively.
Another paid posting service recently launched - this [...]

One of the phrases I learned in another life as a car salesman was “DIMM”. DIMM stands for “Does it make money?” It was a question that we were supposed to ask ourselves when looking over our daily activities.
The concept of DIMM is very simple. Take a few minutes today and look [...]

Text Link ads is one of my favorite online revenue sources. It provides a solid, predictable income every single month. Perhaps the best part about Text Link Ads is that the revenue tends to increase every month as your site grows.
What is Text Link Ads?
Text Link Ads is a company with two sides [...]

Review Me launched their affiliate program just the other day, and it’s something I’m going to keep a close eye on. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Review Me, basically it’s a non-shady version of Pay Per Post.
All reviews require a disclosure that the review is sponsored, and it’s not required to [...]

February is the shortest month of the year, which usually means it’s one of the toughest in terms of making money online. For me, that was just not the case. After a record-breaking January, I crushed the short-lived record in February. Total net profit for all my online ventures was [...]

If you’re looking for a good, inexpensive way to promote your site, you can buy a link here on the Green Llama. Text Link Ads is one of my favorite sponsors, and that link there will give you a $100 coupon to spend how you will. So sign up, and buy a link here [...]

If you’re like me, you’ve already gotten about 8 emails promoting the Day Job Killer, the newest way to make money online.  If you’re one to believe they hype, then you already know that Day Job Killer will allow you to beat the system by using proven techniques perfected by industry experts. 
If you’re like me, [...]

The first month of 2007 is behind us, and all I can think is what a year this is going to be! Across the board, and without exception, January was my best month with regards to making money online. Total net profit was up a whopping 71% from December 2006. That’s [...]

The United States Senate Banking Committee wants to discourage people who are financially responsible. If that sounds inflammatory, perhaps it is. But that’s the bottom line of the latest foolishness that our government is discussing. Basically, the Senate Banking Committee feels that people who pay off their credit card statements in full [...]
