Time to get paid

Find ways to Monetize your website is hard enough in this tough market but imagine working in a smaller more specialist niche. Find advertiseres must be almost impossible and the actualy demand is a low lower.

So how can you get paid if you find your self in one of these niches or if you cannot keep your head above water in a much larger niche?

The answer could be Speak-ToMe.com who offer a new method of earning via the comfort of your own web site and expertise. Imagine you are a remote control car enthusiast who tunes engines on the small race cars, you know what you're doing and you blog about it. You struggle to get paid as the niche is fairly small and advertisers want a larger audience than the handful of visitors to your blog or twitter feed. This is where Speak-ToMe comes in - it gives your handful of visitors the chance to speak one on one with you. How many times have you had a problem that would have paid anything to fix at that moment rather than wait the hours/days or even weeks to get it fixed or sorted.

By adding a simple widget to your site you will enable your readership to have the opportunity to connect with the people they really want to.

Portfolio Growth

I have recently been adding sites to my portfolio and now have around 10 blogs that are up and running. I have started to monetize these blogs using both adsense and other means.

Although I have not had great success to date with affiliate marketing I am currently at break even or in profit with most sites. The next step it to make these sites earn a small sum on a regular basis, an auto pilot if at all possible. With them being blogs it looks like there will always be the content generation side of things that needs to be taken care of but that is fine with me.

The next step for me it to look at possibly flipping some of these sites to make a profit.

TNX vs Text Link Ads

These 2 services are both about selling links on your sites.

Basically with Text Link Ads you sign up, submit your site, the review it and accept of decline your site and then crawl your content for keywords and phrases that advertisers are looking for. If they find one the will offer you the chance of this ad and pay you a % of the monthly price (50% i think).

TNX works slightly different, you sign up and add your sites, but you ad some code to your site where you would like the links to appear. Once sold you will see a line of text appear in that section of the site. TNX pays you for these links in tnx-points.

So how do they compare for making money?

Well I've had them on the same sites for a couple of months now and have just cashed in my tnx points for $19, in the same time frame text link ads has paid me just over $10 with another $11 due. This basically puts them neck and neck.

The advantage of text link ads though is that for slightly more money, they place a lot less links on your site. Have you used either service? What is your verdict?
