TripleClicks – Hobby or Business?


Tripleclicks is a great way to get in extra money. You can start slowly by selling a few items you have been meaning to get rid off and grow until eventually you’re buying and selling items in bulk through your own Tripleclicks store!
There certainly are no limits to how much money you can make on Tripleclicks it all comes down to how much you want to get out of it – if you treat it as a hobby then, well you’ll make pocket money. If you treat it like a business and think big – then you’ll be an entrepreneur on your way to success. Remember Gery Carson (the founder of SFI,Tripleclicks and Pricebender ) and SFI-Dream Big. Aim High!
If you haven’t yet sold an item on Tripleclicks, have no fear it isn’t too difficult to set up your own store or auction. Tripleclicks themselves have a whole section with tips for making the most out of Pricebender penny auctions and your Tripleclicks store.
As mentioned, you can start small with a few items you no longer need and grow from there. One thing to keep in mind is that feedback is extremely important on Tripleclicks. You want to make sure you have a positive interaction with all your buyers and that your feedback is spotless.
The best way to ensure good feedback is to make sure you describe your items as accurately as possible so there are no misunderstandings (if something has a scratch then say so), if it’s refurbished, say it out, contact the buyer right away after an auction, ship the items promptly taking all the necessary precautions and you’re courteous and provide feedback.
It’s not rocket science but merely good customer service skills. Always go beyond what’s expected and people will recognize that.
Once you’re ready to go BIG with Tripleclicks you can think about a situation where you don’t hold or ship any stock. You can also make provision for a buyer to come down and pick the product from your end if such buyer is within your locality. All you get to do is to package it the moment you get to know the order has been placed.
You can also think of opening your own Tripleclicks store and really expanding. The possibilities with Tripleclicks are endless it’s simply up to you whether you treat Tripleclicks as a hobby or really commit to building a full-time income around it.

Blogging for Fun and Profits

Blogging provides you with a unique tool to communicate. And while
creating an online identity and blogging as that person or company
image can be great fun, it can also be profitable. (And making
money is certainly fun!)

Here are just a few ways you can monetize your blog:

Advertising Revenue: Whether you choose to sell ad space on your
blog (and a blog with high traffic numbers will definitely be able
to capitalize on this) you can also participate in AdSense or other
PPC campaigns and make money from clicks.

Affiliate Revenue: Blog owners can publish affiliate banner ads,
text ads and of course you can write great content with internal
affiliate links to generate an additional income. In fact, many
affiliate marketers use their blogs to do this exact thing.

Product Promotion: Finally, though certainly not the least of all,
you can promote your own products or services on your blog. Just
remember to keep it balanced. About 80% of your blog content should
be valuable information and about 20% of it can be promotional.

Stand alone blogs can generate tremendous profits; they don't need
to be part of a bigger business selling products or services. To
learn a step by step approach to generate huge profits from
blogging visit...

"If you don't do it excellently, don't do it at all. Because if
it's not excellent, it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're
not in business for fun or profit, what the hell are you doing
there?"

-Robert Townsend

What is Affiliate Programme?

Affiliate programme can simple be define as a great channel of making extra money on the internet. There are so many ways of participating and achieve success from affiliate programmes but I’ll rather concentrate on what works best for me. You write good content and then link it to the products that you talked about in your blog/website and when one of your customers or readers clicks on the provided link and eventually buys the product, you receive a commission for the sale.

The simple reason why affiliate programmes work so well is simply because you don’t have to rely on match up advertisement the content you provided by a computer. Instead, you do it yourself. And this is because you simply know the best advertisements that would work best on your content and also which products and services to recommend. And when your readers and customers see that you've taken the time to review a product or service, they'll eventually feel more comfortable buying that product. But note that it is always helpful when the product or service you are advertising is often used or has personally been used by you, this helps you in writing good content regarding such product or service. Such experience also assists you in having a good review of the said products and services.

How Do You Get Paid?

Most affiliate programmes have specific rules and policy about how they pay their affiliates, but there are two common ways that you can expect to see:

· Pay per click - This means you get paid whenever someone clicks on the link, button, or image you placed on your site. Pay per click is similar to most online advertising, and it usually pays low.

· Pay per action - This mode of paying affiliates is quite different from pay per click method of payment. This method tracks what the customer does once they leave your site, Instead of paying you every time someone clicks on a link from your site. You might be paid a percentage of any sales they make or you might get paid every time someone moves deeper into the target site. This method can be very lucrative especially when you get a percentage of sales.

How Much Do Affiliate Programs Pay

I know this question rings bell in your mind but to be honest with you, there are so many factors that determine how much you’re paid or get paid. This is because there are variations from site to site and programme also varies from other programme. I know some programmes where people made thousands of dollars per month and others where you hardly made any money. Also, it all depends on what you put in form of investment or the number of hours you put in working to make everything work well for you and your affiliate business.
