Skimlinks is a UK affiliate network which you can tap into a large database of affiliate programs from nearly 18,000 merchants and 33 affiliate networks. Even if you had trouble in the past applying for them. This works very well on high traffic sites like most advertising and you can generate product links on product related keywords that already exist in your content. All you do is add the code to your blog or website and the code works automatically by placing auto generated affiliate links in your product related content.
I've tested this out on some of my Wordpress blogs and so far made a few spare bits of cash here and there. There is a vast network of Merchants that you can sign up for instantly and as soon as your links appear online you can earn from some clicks and any sales originating from an interested customer.
I'll be continuing to test out Skimlinks further as they add more features to the fastest growing affiliate earning tool around.

Becoming A YouTube Partner
YouTube Partnership is an attainable goal which many YouTubers seek to attain, but how do you get there and what does it mean to be a YouTube Partner?
Well this article I wrote on Hubpages should explain things quite clearly - How to become a YouTube partner
UPDATE: Everyone now has a chance of becoming a YouTube partner if you have at least one video and you have an Adsense account so you can earn from the revenue. The application process has been abolished. Although there are certain Countries that aren't allowed entry into the Partnership program, so it is best to do a bit of research into this at YouTube itself.

Experimenting With Revenue Sharing Sites
Revenue sharing sites are fun to be involved with, because mostly they have people who want to earn an income from them, no matter how small the income stream, they want to be a part of the site and create content for it and drive traffic to their other money making web pages, but some people I guess get bored of endless backlinking, instead of sticking to a simple plan of creating new content and back linking between other sites that you are allowed to per revenue sharing site.
I've been experimenting with revenue sharing sites for years, with Squidoo and Hubpages primarily, but have ventured off into other rev share stes, such as Triond, Shetoldme, Revver and mixing them with advertising referrals and affiliate marketing., but this is a constant experimentation really that will culminate in all of my hard work and this is what you should do is best a revenue sharing body of work that all interlinks somehow and creates a search engine ranking that is high up on Googles first page.
The more I do this I can see how keywords relate and how you can target the long tail keywords that will drive more traffic to your site, in fact I make a point of researching keywords weekly, to see if there are any changes in certain niches or any new keyword phrases that I can add to my lists, also I check my Google Analytics for the keyword phrases that people have used to reach my sites/blogs.
I don't know about you, but I am excited by using revenue sharing sites to create a separate income stream and you should be too, just put it into your marketing plan and work on it any chance you get, gradually over time you will build up earnings.

Facts About Making Money Online
It's a fact that making money online is quite difficult for some with around 97% of people failing to make any money whatsoever and the 3% are reserved for the top earners or the part time earners who are making money online through online marketing, affiliate marketing or some other revenue sharing sites that they have joined.
The fact is that with a bit of learning you can have results for making income online, it may take awhile, depending on your commitment and the time and effort you put in, but it is possible, I'm not making vast amounts, but it is a part time income that will one day become a full time income as this is a goal that I will get there in time, I just know it.
And that can be your goal too, many people are trying to make money online, through whatever reason, they have lost their jobs, or had to give up work for a medical reason, whatever the case, people are actively looking for money online and that can be earned literally overnight, which is just ludicrous, but I definitely thought the same when I first started out, mainly because of the clever marketing types that put that illusion in your mind, that you can make money overnight, well they can, because they have email lists with thousands of subscribers, so it's a tale of not telling the truth.
Making money online is as much about being aware what the customers want and also how to monetize your web promotions, so the knowledge can be found, when you look for it, if that means paying for something that will show you the money making path, then all well and good. I do follow a couple of good marketers that don't over hype things in their promotions, they just show what is possible and provide the actual content that will help you and the information that they give you is fairly straight forward, it's just the bit about applying what you know to make it work and that's another reason why most fail, they don't treat it as a proper business.
Fact is with any money making activity online, you've got to work at it and bring all the elements together of your marketing and advertising, so what are you waiting for, just get on with it.....

Clickbank Online Marketing Highs And Lows - 3 Basic Strategies
Over there at Clickbank there are many who are not making any money whatsoever, but of course I know why!
They do not apply the 3 basic principals of proven online strategies that will take them far beyond their regular promotions and campaigns.
Number one
Never give up, always stick at your promotions, advertising and everything else, the moment you give up it's time to keep your regular job and become one of the robot drones of the modern world.
Always learn what you need to, research other clickbank users, ask around for feedback and tips, see other related blogs, you can always find some great tips if you just look!
Number Two
Always test your strategies out, split test them, and test them again. All of your online marketing and advertising like adsense needs to be optimized fully to your sites content and whatever you are promoting has to relate to that promotion, always remember this!
Especially in articles and blog posts, your titles are the key factor in drawing traffic from the search engines, as well as properly placed keywords and other content within the article post.
And finally Number Three
Research all available marketing strategies and technical points you really need to know about, because if you skim on anything, then others will beat you to the biscuit and earn sales and commissions that you should have earned.
Free reports are a great starting place, there are lots of free ebook directories that you can download some free content to read in your niche market or that relates to clickbank.

What Do I Do To Make Money Online?
When it comes to my money making online, it is a collection of different types of income streams that collectively form my part time earnings from the internet, to earn a part time income could be the sign that you could aim for higher earnings, so try and diversify your income like I am and am going to even further throughout this year.
For instance I write many articles on hubpages which is a revenue sharing site that pays you 60% of adsense,amazon,ebay and Kontera impressions and clicks, so it is really worth going into something like a revenue sharing site and try to build up your content libraries so that they are geared towards the search engines, but also human visitors too, because they are the ones that get the main benefit out of reading your useful content, if you want to sign up to hubpages then you can right here Hubpages
But I don't stop there at one revenue sharing site, I build up a portfolio of revenue sharing sites that I am able to link to and add some bookmark style backlinks to my other pages online, such as Squidoo lenses, Ezinearticles, Blogger posts and wordpress blogs, such a link network is only useful if they are highly relevant and each link is targeted to a great amount of relevant content.
Some revenue sharing backlinks sites that I use:-
Shetoldme - A bookmarking site were you can place bookmarks to your websites or other relevant URLs and you can earn a share of Google Adsense and Chitika impressions too, this is best if you backlink the backlinks if you know what I mean.
Revver - A video uploading site that shares it's ad revenue with you, the more you share your videos th better revenue you could create, it's all about views and clicks it seems, but it's worth building up a video library now rather than later on.
Wordlvillage - Worldvillage is an online writing community were you get a share of the Google Adsense revenue for each article that you write, of course it is dependant on traffic and you will need a lot of it to make some serious income and also a lot of article content on each Village that you create.
And I am testing other sites here and there, what I like to do is test what works and what doesn't I leave out and that's the way it should be, ofetn though you do have to work hard and push yourself to make money online. capturing email addresses is a great way of making money, all that is required is that you provide good content in your email marketing messages and promote a product every now and then to really be successful. Other affiliate marketers and internet marketers promote you everything under the sun and I hate this, if I'm subscribed to marketers like that I unsubscribe quite quickly, because they have to add value at least that's what we are told by other top marketers.
Currently testing out the Ejunkie affiliate and seller option to which I've subscribed, this involves promoting affiliate digital products and also selling your own digital products to which other affiliates can promote and earn to, bringing you more sales. you can check out the Ejunkie Money Making Opportunity Here

Squidoo Marketing - What I've Done So Far And What's Next
Squidoo when it first came out, it was heralded as an online marketing tool that would generate lots of traffic to your sites or blogs and with everything that is marketed this way, there are usually spam rules put in place, because other internet marketers who began to use it as a marketing tool because others recommended it ended up spamming it with useless promotions of products, almost souless promotions that just existed for some small profitable gains.
Squidoo has survived the infamous Google slap, which was the effective de-indexing of high ranking squidoo lenses, due to endless spam of the site, first of all they used to have adult articles on there and thankfully they have got rid of these, because they hurt advertising and now they have also got rid of low quality content that just had a few lines and then a link to some product or other, these have gone now and the future of Squidoo looks great, but how do you market your Squidoo lenses?
Well it is an easy process and one I've been testing out for awhile, although I need to step up more of my back linking to promote my lenses further, essentially what you do do is to create a series of lenses that all relate to one central topic and link them all together, with one lens being the sort of content index where all the rest link to, if you think about it, this type of strategy is a well thought out one, because if you look at other lensmasters who just create the odd lens about a tpic and then they move onto another topic completely, this could not be a good strategy, so the niche collection of lenses is the best way to do it.
I've got around 70 lenses so far, with another 70 in draft that really do need working on with more content added to them and so this is what I am working on, creating more pages of content that will also link into my articles over at Hubpages, so that each sites web pages will feed some traffic juice into each other.
So far I've done some seasonal squidoo lenses such as Halloween costumes and masks that have been fun and because you can earn from each lens depending on traffic and the way you write and produce your Squidoo lenses, Amazon and Ebay are good earners, but also you get a share of Adsense and Infolinks which is very dependent on large amounts of traffic that you get on your lenses.
The plan is to really connect up some of my newer article pages with the older ones and create my own small network of quality content. Of course creating something like this is time consuming when you first start out, because obviously paying for outsourced content costs money and plus I like to do this myself, on the principal that creating my own content is mine and what you can do with your own content is repurpose it for other things later on down the line.
The key is when writing your squidoo lenses is to write useful content that will never grow old for it to be successful and effective, how to and easy ways to type lenses seem to get the traffic, as do topics that show you or explain certain things in detail with unique photos that also show the steps to get there.
Try Squidoo and write some quality content
