Ways to Make Money Freelancing Part 2

I posted last week about ways to make money freelancing, and thought that I didn’t get quite enough information in that post to really help you make money so I am doing part 2 and continuing on. You may see a part 3 part 4 and so on in the weeks to come so be sure and subscribe to the feed so you never miss a single post about how to make money freelancing.

You can make money freelancing any service that you do for your own websites. If you know how to effectively place ads on Craigslist.org and get them to stay listed for a long period of time, people will pay you for it. If you are good at link-building with web directories, people will pay you to do that for your site. Just think of the possibilities of making money online when it comes to all the skills you actually possess.

If you are a writer struggling to get content to write, start thinking outside the box as far as what you can actually offer to webmasters in order to make money. You may find yourself writing descriptions of products or writing the descriptions webmasters will use when they submit their site to web directories. The possibilities of what your capabilities actually are could be endless depending on what skills you possess.

Make a list of all the things you can do for websites and list the benefits of what it will do for the website. If it is meant to gain traffic, then write that down. If it is meant to get the website ranked better with a search engine, write it down. This will help you when it comes time to advertise your services. Knowing what they can do for your clients when they ask will help you to know your service better and sound more professional. Being professional and offering a good service to people will keep them coming back to you when they need help. Webmasters will also tell their webmaster friends about your service and soon you will have more freelance work than you ever dreamed of.

Good luck with whatever service you choose to offer and if this post has inspired you to try some new way of making money, leave a comment letting us know about it. Leaving a comment also helps me to get the feedback I need to continue writing about how to make money freelancing.

Google Announces a Follow-Up on Changes To Referrals

I guess if people make a big enough stink, Google will listen. It is apparent with Google’s recent announcement that they are listening to disgruntled webmasters who don’t like the changes that were recently made to the Adsense referral program. They have listened to the feedback received and decided to make an amendment to the original pay structure to be dependent on where your referral comes from and not where you are located at. I’m sure it had something to do with Gnet’s post about Adsense Referral Units, when Gnet talks Google listens.

This means that you can still live in any country and make decent money referring those who live in North America, Latin America and Japan.

This gives webmaster a reason to keep targeting quality traffic and to be able to get quality users to refer to Google.

It makes sense for Google to structure it this way instead of cutting you out of the money altogether if you live outside those certain areas, after all it’s the new referrals that mean the most to Google no matter where you are referring them from.

It’s nice to know that Google is listening to it’s publishers and referrers to the program.

They also mentioned that it has been reported many users don’t have any Adsense referrals showing in their stats. Google reports this is just a display problem and that it will be fixed as soon as they can get it done but your earnings are still there adding up, they just aren’t displaying.

You can read about it for yourself at the Google Adsense Blog to find out in more detail what changes have been made to the recent announcement made by Google.
