Blog Marketing

One of the harder things to do is figure out exactly what type of affiliates and advertising will work best for different types and styles of blogs. Sure for some blogs it is very obvious, for example its fairly straight forward that if you visit my sons Ben 10 alien force blog you are going to find Ben 10 products and merchandising.

However what if you have a personal blog all about you. For example what if your blog is the type of blog that is filled with surveys about your likes and dislikes, contains applets for your favorite online games, and perhaps some sort of virtual pet.

What type of products would you advertise on this type of blog? This is a problem many personal bloggers face. A lot of them settle to just put google ads and similar pay per click advertising on their blogs and let the ad companies select the ads for them and this is fine. However there is not much to be had in the way of residual income this way.

Residual income is income that comes in monthly with little to no effort, or more likely, it requires a lot of work in the beginning but less and less as time goes on, but the money keeps coming.

If it sounds confusing just ask yourself this. If you are using google adwords to generate money, each month you get paid based on the number of clicks you get. If for some reason your blog goes offline for an entire month, how much money do you make? Nothing right? No one can visit your blog therefore no one can click on your ads. If no one can click ads, you can’t get paid.

With residual income its a lot different. With residual income you get paid on many different factors. For example you may get paid a certain percent of the income generated by others you bring into a program. Therefore if your blog goes down, you are still making money off others. This is residual income at its finest.

That’s what I want to talk to you about today. A unique fun way to make some residual income that is perfect for personal blogs. Please note this program is meant for personal bloggers and is not a get rich quick scam! If you read about it on other websites people often make false claims about how much can be made or has been made with the program.

The program is actually a two part program called trek pay and trek advertising. First trek advertising is an advertising and marketing solution for websites. The way the marketing solution works is that you pay for advertising, and trek advertising sends you the exact type of traffic you need for the exact type of reason you want.

If you are looking to increase clicks on you affiliate links, trek advertising sends you traffic that will click on your third part links (aka affiliate links). If you provide your own products and content, trek advertising sends you traffic that will seriously read and be interested in your products and content.

All you have to do is simply tell the system what type of ads you have on your website and then people will find your site using the trek pay search feature.

For those with affiliate advertising the way it works is members of the trek pay system visit your website, they are encouraged through the system to click your ads. When they click, your advertising revenue will sky rocket and the searchers find what they were originally seeking. The charge is $.02 per click. Therefor as long as your ads pay you more then $.02 per click, you are going to make GREAT money.

If you do not have 3rd party advertising on your website the trek advertising solution sends only those interested in your services. So they will only check out your own sites material and not advertising. This is quality traffic! Real people looking through your website!

What really makes trek advertising work is understanding trek pay. Trek pay is an easy system of generating extra cash. The more active a member is, the faster they get paid. A member is awarded credits each time they do one of the following:

1. When a member does a search and visits a client website, credits are given to the member.

2. If a member refers another person to TrekPay or trek advertising they are also awarded credits.

The idea is to build up as many credits in a week as you possibly can.
Each week trek pay puts a dollar figure on those credits based on the amount of advertising slots paid for and the amount of members clicking on various ads.

When trek pay does this, they replace your weekly credits with the dollar amount they are worth for that week. The more credits you have, the faster you can get paid and the more money you make. Using this system you can generate up to $50 a week (anything after $50 from the credit system will not be paid).

After the weekly $50 you can generate there is an additional way to earn. This additional method is based off sales commissions. When a member is credited with a sale from trek advertising they will receive an immediate deposit into their account.

This means its very important for trek pay members to advertise thier referral pages! A member may earn $50 dollars per week with their credit system. However, earnings for commissions are unlimited.

Currently trek pay will allow you a 12.5% commission rate on each sale directly to the original referrer. In order to request payment you must have at least $5.50 in the account and you must also have PayPal Account.

Joining trek pay is free and the more you use it and the more you get others to use it the more profitable it becomes. I spend about an hour a day on the site and bring in almost $85 extra a month just through this program.

Also by adding a link to trek pay on your website, when others visit your custom affiliate landing page and make a sale, you generate commissions.

Like I said in the beginning of the article, this type of advertising and generating money is not easy at first and its certainly not for everyone. However for those with personal websites and a little dedication, this is a great additional residual income. Just get friends and family to sign up and use it and you will be making some money very quickly.

By the way trek pay and trek advertising are both very new projects to the internet. They are actually in pre-release beta version still. However they are continuing to pay out every week! Whats even better is they already have over 53,000 members and that number is increasing by thousands a month (meaning there is still time to get in on this and make money).

I strongly encourage checking it out. There page is not very enticing or informative, but the program is good and does work. Best of luck!
