Made a few changes to the homepage of the website. Changed the archive list in my sidebar to be by year rather than by month, to shorten the laundry list of items on the side. If you would like to make yours by year as well, change the code in your sidebar to read:
<?php wp_get_archives(’type=yearly’); ?>
I also added a new page - Monthly Archives. Used the manage feature to make a new page and then used the phpexec plugin to copy this code onto the page to list the archives monthly:
<?php wp_get_archives(’type=monthly’); ?>
Next I copied the link to my Monthly Archives page and added it under my yearly archive list, in case someone looking in the sidebar under Archives would like to see the monthly list instead of yearly.
Next, I got rid of my ShoppingAds ad box in my sidebar. It was making money but just a little too bulky for my current theme/layout. If you are looking to make a little extra money you should check it out, sadly its just not for me right now. I may add it back when I redo the look of the site.
Last but not least I added a new section in the sidebar - Where I get great deals! There are three links there now, go check them out. This area will grow over time!

This is the beginning of a multi-part post about making money with your website or blog.
First off, you should probably have a website or blog to monetize (check out some of my earlier posts that can help you get started: Create an Icon / Favicon for your website; Discount on Hosting; Simple Guide to Website Promotion; Optimizing For Search Engines; 5 Ways to increase Blog Traffic; Blogging Guide Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3)
In addition to the tips and instructions regarding SEO and Promotion above I’m going to each day outline 1 income source of mine.
Today: ShoppingAds
How does it work? You display a small ad (you have choices as to the size and display style). This ad will show ebay ads (pick keywords and it shows ads tailored to those words).
How do you make money? As users click on the ebay item ads, and purchase them, you get paid a % of the purchase price.
Does it actually make money? Yes. There have been days where I have made $13 just on one click/purchase.
Try it out!

A few months ago I came across a service called Predictify. In my quest to spend all day wasting my time in some sort of “productive” manner I have found yet another venue… The way the service works they have hundreds of questions or polls in a few categories (politics, sports, pop culture, etc) which you can answer. Once the correct answer or outcome is determined you receive your payout (depending on if you were correct and how early you made your prediction). Your answers also give you a ranking (apprentince, scholar, etc.) which determine your payout bonus levels. Not all the questions have payouts, but its fun to test how accurate you are regardless, and you can use free ones to bring up your ranking and payout bonus levels! In addition to these features you can post your own polls/questions for everyone else to answer (you can answer too).
Best part is, it is all free. Registration is free, predicting is free, posting questions is free. The only time you would need to pay is if you posted a question that had a payout.
When you start accumulating a payout, the minimum to pay your account is $20.
Good Luck! Get Predictifying!
