How to make money online with affiliate links

One simple answer: Persistence.

As reported here, you can (and should) make money with affiliate links in your blogs.

I've been using affiliate links in a couple of my blogs for about 6 months now.  I've yet to make BIG money...or that much, really.  But, I'm seeing sales and earnings, so that's a positive.

You should promote affiliates you enjoy -- and that you use.  Readers trust you when you establish that YOU really use the products you are essentially selling. 

Don't just choose random affiliates because you think they are neat.

Target your affiliates to your audience and to YOUR actual taste.  This will attract readers and encourage them to click.  And that's half the battle!

So, add affiliate links to your mix of income streams.  Along with ads, they can be a great source of income.  But, only if you PERSIST.  You have to keep at it, pay attention, and constantly engage.

Can losing weight help you make money?

If you start losing weight, will you start making money?

Well, you can.  First, losing weight will likely increase your confidence.  That's a key factor in persuading people to hire or promote you.  Confidence is attractive.  So, even if you're not rail thin or model attractive, if you lose weight and start feeling better about yourself, you'll present as more confident -- that's attractive.  And it can get you hired.  Which means money.

Second, you can help others.  If you write about your weight loss, you can help others through your experience.  And doing so can help you earn money.  Peer to peer counseling online -- via blogs, chats, etc.  can be a great way to network. 

So do what it takes to start losing a bit of weight.  Eat smarter.  Exercise a bit more.  And reap the rewards -- you'll be healthier and feel better -- which is a great reward in itself.  In time, these benefits will translate into your outlook and you'll project confidence -- which could certainly increase your earning power.

Big Bird vs. Mitt Romney

That's right.  Big Bird is taking on Mitt Romney ... or, rather, Romney is rather explicitly taking on Big Bird.

Can you make big money with Big Bird?

Let's face it.  Big Bird is hot right now.  Ever since Mitt Romney mentioned cutting PBS -- and specifically called out Big Bird -- the yellow feathered muppet has been a hit.  He's made an appearance on Saturday Night Live, been the subject of some Jon Stewart segments, and even appears in a new Obama campaign ad.

Big Bird is hot.  Which means people are looking for him.  And if they find him near you, it could mean more traffic - and cash -- for your website.

So, yes, you can make some money with Big Bird.
