Make money traffic monsoon

Traffic Monsoon 

Traffic Monsoon is PTC + Traffic Exchange + Revenue Sharing site. It is one of the high paying PTC sites which is paying at the moment. Some people think it is a Ponzi site, but it we think it is not because if it has been Ponzi then it should have been shutdown already by concerned authorities because it is online from more than one year. Its sister site Adhitprofits is also almost with same business model and that is online from more than 2 years. So, if concerned authorities think it is Ponzi site, then they should have shut it down by now. More than that, Ponzi are those sites where people invest money only to earn back money and they get paid from investment of other members after them. There won't be any product to sell for that investment. But in case of Traffic Monsoon and Adhitprofits, those who invest money will get back advertisement credits instantly to advertise their website/referral links. So, people here is not only invest to earn back money, but they are using their investment to advertise their products. Traffic Monsoon doesn't only sell those Adpacks from where members can earn back 10% profit, but it is also selling banner ads, credit ads, cashlinks ads from which it is generating good profit and generating revenue. Once it generate revenue, it will share that to those who have invest in Adpacks. If they didn't generate revenue for today, they will not share anything to their members for that day who are on sharing position. So, they are only sharing when they are earning.

 

More than that, even it is not necessary to invest in TrafficMonsoon in order to earn money. You can simply work as free user and earn from viewing Cashlinks without investment. You can refer your friends and tell them also not to invest and only view ads, then they will also earn as free user and you will also earn 100% commissions from their each click value. So, without investment also you can earn in TrafficMonsoon.

Detail Strategy to work in Traffic Monsoon

There are 3 different ways you can earn in Traffic Monsoon. Those are as follows:-

1.  Paid to Click and Traffic Exchange:-

 

This is best option for those who want to work as free member in Traffic Monsoon. Free members can get 10 and even more cash links ads (PTC ads), each worth from $0.01 to $0.02. So, free members can earn upto $0.1 per day just by clicking 10 cash links ads which take total 5-10 minutes within Traffic Monsoon. Throughout the day, you can get those cash links anytime. Sometime you will not find any cash links. But you no need to worry about it. Just, keep on checking Traffic Monsoon’s account 2-3 times a day in order to find those cash links so that you can click as many PTC ads as you can. 

 If you want to advertise your website free in Traffic Monsoon, then view the traffic exchange ads by clicking “Start Surfing” button. As free member, you will get 1 credit for 2 traffic exchange advertisement views in Traffic Monsoon. Those credits you can use to advertise your own website or referral's link. (Free advertising) 

2. Revenue sharing:-

 

This is the way to earn in Traffic Monsoon by investing money in the program. In order to do so, you have to buy an “Adpack” costs $50 which gives 1,000 ad credits plus 20 guaranteed banner clicks.

But you can buy same amount of credits in cheaper price within Traffic Monsoon. 1,000 ad credits are available at $5.95 and 20 banner clicks are available at $5. So, you must be clear that you are purchasing an Adpack at $50 from which we can get $10.95 worth of advertising.

So, what is the point of paying $39.05 more for Adpack than the advertising value?

  

This is the real twist and this is what makes Traffic Monsoon program unique and stable. It is because when you purchase Adpacks, it will unlock a sharing position in your account. When you unlock the sharing position, you will earn money hourly from the revenues generated on Traffic Monsoon because Traffic Monsoon will share its revenue between the members who unlock the sharing positions. Each of the sharing position will earn you money until you earn back 110% ($55) on it. Means if you invest $50 in Adpack, then you will get back $55, so at the end you will get free advertising and even will earn money from it.

So, every time you earn back your money, you can either cashout so your ad credits will have been free at the end, or you can repurchase new adpacks without adding any fresh funds from your processor.

The current daily earnings average per adpack is $1 which may be increase if Traffic Monsoon can generate more profit in the future. It means you get back $55 in 55 days from your $50 investment. So, like this every $50 you purchase, you will get back $55 in around 55 days. Which means you will earn $5 in around 55 days. So, if you can take much more risk, then you can invest in as many ad packs as you like.

Best Strategy only if you can take risk: Invest $500 to buy 10 ad packs in Traffic Monsoon from which you can earn (10X5= $50) pure profit in around 55 days. But, if you can take risk, then you can increase your adpacks by using earnings that you will earn from that 10 adpacks. From 10 adpacks, in average you will earn around $10 per day as per present scenario. So, you will earn back $50 every 5 days from which you can again buy one more adpack. Like this keep on increasing ad packs till you satisfy from your earnings. For example:- If you want to earn $100 regularly around every 50 to 55 days, then keep on buying new ads packs from earnings till you make total 20 ad packs. Like this you can keep on increase your earnings. If you start from low investment, it takes time to rise. If you invest high amount, then it is risky. So, only invest that much amount in Traffic Monsoon which you can afford to lose.  Also remember that you are investing in Adpacks not only to earn, but to advertise your website as well.

Based on that current earning statistic, one adpack purchase could mature 6 times in a year. You could buy an adpack, get your money back in 55 days, then buy a new one, etc., 6 times in a year. (6 x 55 days = 330 days). So by following this strategy, you will get continuous stream of traffic to your websites from only 1 initial purchase and also will keep on earning as well.

But, this return time will be up or down according to the profit made by Traffic Monsson. If it generates more profit, you will get return more fast, if it generate less profit, you will get return slow. This is the another plus point of Traffic Monsoon in order to make system stable because they return back investment to their members when they make profit from it.

3. 100% Referral Commissions
  
You can earn 100% commission from your referral click. Like we tell you before, you can earn upto $0.1 as free member daily in Traffic Monsoon. So, if your referral also click as you, then he will also earn $0.1 and you will also get $0.1. Means, if you have one referral and if you can click all ads, and your referral click all ads, then you can earn upto $0.2 per day. Like this if you can make 10 referrals, then from your own click and from your referral's click, you can earn upto $1.1 daily.

 

Not only that, you'll earn 10% commissions on all purchases that your referral made. For example, if your one referral buy $50 Adpack, then instantly you will earn $5.

But, in order to qualify earnings from your referral click, you should surf at least 10 traffic exchange ads everyday, otherwise you will not earn from your referral the day you miss to surf 10 traffic exchange ads.

You can refer as many people as you can. So, in this way you can increase your earnings in Traffic Monsoon and will start to earn good amount.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

 “Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts”


Basically, you as a publisher will be rewarded when you help a business by promoting their products or services. So for example, if you sign up for Tips and Ticks HQ’s affiliate program and promote it’s products then you will get a commission when the visitor you send from your site makes a purchase.
Affiliate marketing is probably one of the quickest and cheapest (not the easiest) ways to start making money online as you don’t have to create any products yourself. You simply link up a buyer and a seller, and you take a commission on the sale that has been referred by you.

How Does Affiliate Marketing Work?

When you join an Affiliate program and choose the products that you want to sell, sellers provide you with a unique affiliate code that you can use to refer traffic to the target site. Most affiliate programs will offer ready made text links, banners and other forms of creative copies whereby you only have to copy the code and place it on your website to start referring traffic. When interested visitors click on these links from your site they get redirected to the product site and if they purchase a product or subscribe to a service you as the referrer make a commission.
The sellers can track your performance through your affiliate ID and the affiliate softwares (eg. WP Affiliate Platform) that they use. You also have complete, real time access to all sales and commissions stats.
You don’t need to sell products all the time to make a commission. Different affiliate programs can use different payment terms such as:

• Pay per Sale: In this program a merchant pays you a percentage of the sale price when the purchase is completed.
• Pay per Click: In this program you get paid based on the number of visitors you redirect to the Merchant’s website from your affiliate site, whether or not a sale is made.
• Pay per Lead: You get paid once the referred visitors provide their contact information on the target site by filling out a simple contact form.

Why be an Affiliate Marketer?

Affiliate marketing is considered to be one of the world’s fastest growing and best internet marketing techniques to earn money online and I will explain why:

• Cost effective: Marketing on the internet is cheap and you don’t have to worry about the production cost as the product is already developed by the seller. You don’t need a physical business location or hire employees either.
• Global Market: Online marketing gives you the opportunity to reach people all over the world easily.
• No Fees: You don’t need to pay anything to join affiliate programs.
• No Storage No Shipping: You don’t need to worry about storage, packing or shipment of the product. They are all taken care of by the seller.
• No customer support: You don’t need to provide any customer support or deal with consumer complaints as the Seller does that for you.
• Passive income: A regular job can give you a fixed income as long as you continue to work. Depending on your marketing skill Affiliate marketing can create a steady flow of income even when you are not in front of your computer.
• Work from home: If you make enough money then you don’t have to worry about going to work at the same time every day or getting stuck in traffic. You can work in the comfort of your own home.

Tips on Becoming a Successful Affiliate Marketer

After reading all the benefits of affiliate marketing if you think you will be rich over night by selling affiliate products online then you are wrong. Affiliate marketing is definitely an excellent way to make money online but it’s highly competitive too. In order to be successful in Affiliate marketing you need to know the market needs, learn how to promote products, what works and what doesn’t. The following are a few tricks on becoming successful in affiliate marketing that I have learnt over time.

1. Only Choose a Handful of Good Products

The first mistake a lot of affiliate marketers make is that they register with too many different affiliate programs and try to promote everything. Pursuing affiliate marketing down this path can become very overwhelming and you won’t be able to promote any product properly. All you need in order to be successful is a handful of good products to promote. Try to understand the market needs and look for products that align correctly with the topic of your site.

2. Use Several Traffic Sources to Promote Products

Most affiliate marketers put up the ads only on their sites. There is nothing wrong with this approach but know that there are many other traffic sources that you can tap into and promote the products simultaneously. The more targeted traffic you can send to the sales page the more your chances are of making money.
Google Adwords can be used to drive targeted traffic to a sales page. You simply make an ad in your adwords account then use your affiliate link in the target page URL of the ad. Obviously, you will have to continuously measure the conversions and see if the campaign cost is less than the campaign profit in order to keep the campaign running but I am sure you get the idea.

3. Test, Measure and Track Your Affiliate Campaign

It is a very good idea to use different product promotion strategies so you can figure out what is working and what is not. Try to do split testing and measure the performance of each campaign then take actions accordingly. Changing a few things here and there can increase your profit dramatically. Make sure to place the banner ads on different areas of your site’s pages. Some positions will make the ads more noticeable than others.
Most affiliate programs will give you basic stats that you may need but there is nothing stopping you from using your own conversion tracking software too. There are many conversions tracking sofware out there that you can use to track your affiliate campaign.

4. Research the Demand of the Product

If you try to sell a product that is in low demand then chances are that you are not going to get many sales no matter how hard you try. So it is a good idea to spend a bit of time researching and finding out if a product that you are thinking of promoting is a product that your audience needs. If your site gets decent traffic then you can conduct an online survey and easily get input from your visitors.

5. Stay Current with New Methods and Techniques

Affiliate marketing is a very competitive field and people are always coming up with new techniques. Try to stay current with these new techniques and market trends otherwise you will fall behind.

6. Choose the Right Merchant

When you promote a product you also promote the person or the company who is behind the product so try to choose wisely. You don’t want your visitors to go and buy a product following your advice then come back unhappy. Do you think that this visitor will come back to your site and take your advice again? Most likely no; this can hurt your credibility in the long run. Usually, websites/company that offer good customer service will have better customer satisfaction so try to stick with promoting their products.

How To Monetize Your Website

Do you have a website or blog? Do you dream of working from home? If you answered "yes" to both those questions, you may be closer to getting paid to lounge in your pajamas than you think. See, many people attract thousands or even hundreds of thousands of visitors to their website(s) each month, but they don't really know how to make money from that traffic. Luckily, new technologies and services have made monetizing your website easier than ever before.

Building and Quantifying Website TrafficThe first step in monetizing any website is quantifying the website's traffic to get an idea of what type of advertising would work best. For instance, websites that attract a large amount of traffic or a highly specific demographic may opt for different monetization methods than those that attract lower traffic numbers or more generic demographics. The two best programs to quantify and analyze your traffic are Google Analytics and Quantcast.

Google Analytics
Google Analytics is an industry-standard free analytics program that provides statistics like the number of page views, time spent on a given page and keywords that online visitors typed into search engines to reach your pages.

Quantcast
Quantcast is a free service designed to provide demographic information based on a user's location.

After these programs are up and running, the next step is to build traffic to the website over time. The best way to do this is by writing strong content and optimizing that content to be easily accessible to search engines.

Search Engine Optimization
SEO is the process of building a website to enhance its visibility in search engines like Google and Yahoo!. Often, this is done by properly using HTML and identifying keywords with high traffic and little competition.

Strong WritingWith catchy headlines and interesting content, you can increase the likelihood of inbound links and reader sharing.

Google AdSense and PPC ProgramsThe most popular way to monetize a website that receives little to modest traffic (less than 200,000 visitors per month) is by using a pay-per-click (PPC) advertising program like Google AdSense. These programs pay website owners a variable amount of money each time a visitor clicks on an advertisement that's automatically generated based on the page's content.

Selling Ad Space on Popular SitesPopular websites attracting more than 200,000 visitors per month, or ones that target desirable demographics, may be better off directly selling ad space. Often, these ads are usually sold on a CPM basis, but some can choose a blend of CPM, PPC and CPA advertising methods. Ultimately, the website owner should test and see what works best. Those looking to setup their own advertising systems can checkout programs like OpenX or inClick.

Parting Thoughts on Monetization
The techniques listed above are certainly not the only ways to make money from home through monetizing a website. For instance, websites or blogs with highly desirable premium content may also want to consider a subscription-based model where readers pay a monthly fee to access certain content. This can be done with programs like MagicMembers or MemberMouse. Also, website owners can attempt to sell products as affiliates and earn a commission if viewers click on the provided link and buy the products. There are many sites that allow affiliates to promote their products. ClickBank and Amazon are two popular ones, but there are many alternatives.

The Bottom LineIn the end, the best solution is usually to try different options and see what works. Google and others provide very easy ways to get started, while more complex systems can be implemented as the website grows larger. Unique ideas like subscriptions and affiliate marketing can often be hit-or-miss, depending on the visitor demographic being targeted.

How To Make Money With ClickBank

If you'd like to make money with ClickBank, you're not alone. ClickBank facilitates around 30,000 digital sales each day and has over six million registered users who create and promote digital products. There are two main ways to make money using ClickBank: one is to create your own product and list it, and the other is to skip the product creation step and list other people's products while taking a commission from each sale. ClickBank commission rates range from 5%–75% depending on the product being promoted.

Selling Your Own Products on ClickBank

If you have an e-book or online course that you'd like to promote, ClickBank makes that easy. Once you sign up as a vendor you can list your product with them and set the commission percentage you are willing to pay to anyone who chooses to market and promote your product for you. Once your product is listed, other ClickBank users will start promoting it on their own websites. This will drive traffic to the sales page on your website and hopefully result in sales.

What to do with the Traffic ClickBank Affiliates Send Your Way

If you're selling a product on ClickBank, you need to make sure that your landing page (the page all your affiliates are sending traffic to) is user friendly, sales-oriented, and has a clear call to action. Otherwise, visitors will simply click through and then bounce away, leaving you with lots of traffic but very little in revenue.
It is also better to view ClickBank as a tool for generating leads, instead of hoping to sell 100,000 copies of your e-book immediately. Use ClickBank to drive visitors to your website, then get them on a newsletter list and market to them repeatedly. You may want to offer a contest or freebie along with the newsletter to encourage people to sign up with you.

Selling Other People's Products With ClickBank

Once you sign up to become an affiliate with ClickBank, you will immediately be able to browse the different products available to sell. ClickBank has tens of thousands of products available, so in the beginning it's helpful to search by niche and commission percentage until you locate offers that you want to promote. Make sure you take the time to look at the vendor's sales page before promoting their product. They might be offering a 75% commission rate, but if their website doesn't look trustworthy or put together you aren't going to generate many sales, no matter how much traffic you drive their way.
