An Experiment

Well, this is my first official post here at BlogEvolve. This is part of a mass experiment I'm working on. I've worked with revenue sharing sites before, and though I've never made oodles of money with them, I've made a little here and there.

So, here's the experiment. I've joined several sites such as this, and I'm going to see just how much I can make between now and Christmas. Between sites like this one, and my own blogs, I'm going to try and make enough to do all my Christmas shopping. So, we'll see what happens.

I was very happy to see that I already know a couple names around here. One of which I was very happy to see. (Hi Jellen). The hardest part of joining sites like this is trying to be as creative as possible without looking like a total moron. The good thing is that I already know the rules around these types of sites, and I dislike spammy content as much as anyone else, so no one has to worry about that from my posts. LOL

So, here's to the future and the hope that I can make this work. If nothing else, this will be a fun learning experience.

Welcome to BE...

as far as money goes, dont worry. Adsense has just turned my 'penny machine' off a few days ago. They dont give you any proof of supposed self-clicking(which I have never done intentially in any case)but you have the right of appeal, which I have done. I've only earned an average of 50 cents a week in any case.Will hve stick to Kontera for my Blogger sites now. I write for enjoyment in any case.

Hey Huttriver

Submitted by sapheyerblu on Tue, 2008-08-05 23:00.

I remember you too. I was a member of BlogFest before it went by the wayside. Plus, I still hang out at Sire's blogs. LOL

Well, like I said before, this is just an experiment. For all I know, this could end up being the worst idea I've ever had. No, maybe not. LOL

Anyway, I'm sure I'm going to have a blast here. It was almost like De'ja vu

Thanks Elly

See, this is what I like about certain sites. I've joined a lot of sites where you pop in and say hi to the world, and nobody even spits out a hello. Then, there are sites like this one where every one and their dog run over to great the newbies.

I like that in a place.

Oh, I know I'm not gonna make a fortune, but after spending the past year and a half in the full-time blogging world, I have picked up a couple pointers. It all comes down to keywords. Anyway, that's what I'm counting on. LOL

Even if I don't make a bloody dime, I'm gonna have fun trying. :)

That's the spirit!

Submitted by Jellen on Mon, 2008-08-04 10:49.

Yes, keywords and content rule. If you can marry the both well, you will make some money. Remember the extra block to put inside your post. That's where I made most of anything I've made here - create a special channel to manage it.

Are you writing in a particular niche?

Not sure yet

Submitted by sapheyerblu on Tue, 2008-08-05 23:03.

I'm seriously thinking about going the Ancient History route, but really haven't made up my mind yet. I'm one of those people who know a lot of stuff about absolutely nothing. LOL.

I'm a trivia freak and know a lot of useless information. But I'm really good at Trivial Pursuit. LOLOLOL

Welcome to BE, but ...

Submitted by Ken Korczak on Mon, 2008-08-04 10:06.

... I've been posting here for a couple of months, or so, and must say I love the friendly and interesting people here.

However, as far as I know, I have earned 0 dollars and 0 cents from BlogEvolve. Most of my posts get decent hits -- just about al of them 50, or more, and some topping 100 hits -- yet, no clicks at all that have generated any revenue whatsoever. (I haven't tracked all my posts, but I'm sure BE has generated a big goose egg for me).

I currently contribute articles to about 10 or 12 revenue sharing sites -- when I first started out, I was pleased to be earning $5 or $6 every day -- but as time goes on -- and even though I get more hits than ever and have posted many dozens of items, I today make 0 money on any given day.

So, although fun and somewhat rewarding, this is no way to make money -- unless some of the more experienced bloggers here can advise me as to what I might be doing wrong?

Hi Ken

I also find that the revenue from this site is not what I would like. I think there are several reasons for that. I'll post on the topic.

I've already gotten my adsense set up, and thanks to BlogFest, I know I'm not going to make a fortune here. But like you said, with all the sites put together, I might do ok. We'll see. LOL

You will like some great folks here, but you may not be happy with the sploggers and hoggers who happen at times. BE's problem is an admin who doesn't seem to be around as often as needed.

BE's benefit is that we are allowed a 3rd Adsense block within our posts...if you know how to go into Adsense and set it up. But truthfully, I don't think I have ever made over a buck a month blogging. Maybe you will make more spread out over more sites.
