How to Make Money Writing on Seekyt



For writers who know how to put a decent article together, Seekyt is a great writing platform for writers that want to diversify how they get paid. It has similarities to Examiner and other sites that pay based upon page views, but it is quite different in how the money is earned.

Instead of paying a percent of a penny for each page view, Seekyt pays their writers a percentage of ad revenues. However, as page views translate into purchases, there is a direct correlation between page views and earnings.

Seekyt requires original articles with a minimum of around 250-300 words. Writers can earn money by incorporating one or all the following ad types into their articles: Google AdSense, Chikita and/or VigLink. Product-based articles like reviews and how-tos seem to work best on the Seekyt site.

VigLink

Seekyt now uses an affiliate  program called VigLink. One reason signing up for VigLink should appeal to writers is VigLink is a good fit for international writers as well as Stateside. VigLink is affiliated with over 30,000 sites, including big name retailers like eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Macys, Nike, Home Depot, Forever 21, Neiman Marcus, Dillards, etc. Writers can earn by letting VigLink create links to specific product names or by copying and pasting links to specific merchants. VigLink has a referral program that enables writers to earn for referring friends and readers: Click Here for Details.


Referrals


Using the affiliate advertisers mentioned above, Seekyt pays writers a percentage of all ad sales on our articles. Writers increase their ad share by writing articles, by referring new writers, by gaining new followers, and by interacting on the site in other ways.  Seekyt also pays bonuses for followers, comments and other activity on the site.

By the way, if you ever see anything you are interested in buying from Amazon on one of my Seekyt articles,  it won't cost you any more to use my link to purchase, but I will earn a percentage of the sale.

Earn Money Advertising on Twitter with Sponsored Tweets

SponsoredTweets referral badge

Try Sponsored Tweets to make money on Twitter. You control which ads you select, what you charge per ad and how often they go out.

My Earnings with Sponsored Tweets

What could you do with an extra $200?

These are the earnings from one of my Twitter accounts. On this particular account, I am asking a  little more per Tweet than most advertisers, so I don't get as many offers. In spite of turning some advertisers away because I charge more than average, and although I turn down down about 1/3 of my offers, my total sales are $208.08, just for Tweeting posts related to topics I already post about on this one Twitter account. I have earned $166.53 from my own Tweets, I have declined $56.12 worth of ads, and I have made another $41.55 from referrals. Only 1% of my Tweets are ads, so I am careful not to spam my followers.

Make Money on Twitter with Sponsored Tweets



Twitter is fun. You can share photos, updates and links with your friends and follow your favorite celebrities. But did you know you can actually earn a little money on Twitter?

Through a program called Sponsored Tweets, if you have more than 200 followers, you can sign up to run occasional ads on your Twitter page. You set up a quick account, select some topics you Tweet about, select how much you want to charge per ad, and Sponsored Tweets will contact you when advertisers want to target your followers. You can chose to accept or decline each ad as you see fit.

I have more than one Twitter account because I write frequently about several specific topics. Since I don't like to spam my followers, I have separate Twitter accounts so each group gets to read Tweets on topics they care about. I am very picky about the ads I send out, and I decline about 1/3 of the ads sent to me because I think they will be of little interest to my followers.

After tweaking their program over the past couple of years, Sponsored Tweets has become a nice platform for earning a little extra money.


My Earnings with Sponsored Tweets

These are the earnings from just one of my Twitter accounts. On this particular account, I am asking a price for ads that's a little higher than average, so I don't get as many offers. In spite of turning some advertisers away because I charge more than average, and in spite of declining about 1/3 of my offers, my total sales are $127.82, just for Tweeting posts related to topics I already post about on this one Twitter account. I have earned $93.79 from my own Tweets, I have declined $36.19 worth of ads, and I have made another $34.03 from people who have signed up under me.


Sponsored Tweets also has a "pro" program you have to pay to sign up for that is supposed to provide even more opportunities, but I just use the basic free service.
