MoneyBookers.com announced yesterday his re-brand name. The new name is Skrill. For now you can access site on both address.
Also they announced a lot of new services and opportunities:
Our next evolution is to rebrand as Skrill, the first step towards offering you massively enhanced payment facilities to attract and convert even more customers. Skrill is going to better represent what we are and what we will become, as well as differentiate ourselves in a crowded marketplace.
Skrill was an informal term for money. But we – and you – are going to make it more than that. In the same way you ‘google’ something or ‘skype’ your friends, people will soon ‘Skrill’ money.
Skrill means a safe and innovative way for consumers to pay for their online goods. Skrill means choice. Skrill means flexibility. Skrill means reliability and peace of mind. Skrill makes you online safe.
Will wait for this new facilities and hope will be a real concurrent for PayPal.com
A lot of people say about the page rank of a website is no longer important. And yes doesn’t affect SERP positions. But if the pagerank measure the importance of your blog, is not important to have a “important” website.
The page rank is not important for guys who make money only from adsense. But if you want to sell advertorials and make money selling banners directly is more easier to go to possible clients and show your page rank and traffic data.
You don’t need to be a maniac and try to have the biggest PR in the word, but have an eye to this, too.
A lot of people get earnings from their blogs. There is no doubt about it. You can make money with your blog if you follow the next easy steps:
1 ) Make at least one article per day on your blog. Try to have every day a new article on blog. If you can write more article but no less them one per day.
2 ) Put ads on your blog. Google AdSense is o very good choice but not always the best choice. For Adsense you have few wordpress plugins who insert ads very easy.
3 ) Search for people interesting to buy advertorials, in this way you can increase your earnings with extra cash.
4 ) Focus to drive traffic on your blog. More traffic means more money. One of the best traffic si from Google Search. You must be sure your site is indexed by Google. You can do that very simple, just type in Google Search Engine field site:your_domain.com
5 ) Use Google Analytics or any other system to view data about your traffic. Try to understand this data, loot at the time spent by your visitors on your site, look at the page where they leave the site, and all indicators you cant get from a traffic analytic system.
6 ) Make a plan or a strategy about your earnings. At first pun a target of 1 euro per day and post one article every day on blog till you get that target. If you get target of 1 euro put a new target of 2 euro per day and try to reach new target. You will see is more easier to reach new target.
7 ) Put comments on another blogs but try to avoid to make spam and don’t exaggerate with this method.
8 ) Search for hot topics and think at the newest things on the market like i Phone, Laptops, different gadgets, stars, etc. You can use Google Hot Trends to get inspired too.
9 ) Also Social Media is important for you blog development. Try to know another people who have the same hobbies like you, tell about your blog to this people.
10 ) Look on another sites/blogs and learn how other have earning from online business.
Let’s talk a little about an editorial that explains why we can’t make money online blogging, made by Daniel Lyons, known for two years as “Fake Steve Jobs”.
Big traffic, no money
When his identity was revealed in New York Times, more than half-million people visited his site in a single day. For that traffic he got about a hundred dollars with AdSense and entire month he made more than $1.000. Not enough for what he expected and after some time he gave up. So the following quote from Newsweek it’s eloquent for our work in blogging:
I learned the hard way: while blogs can do many wonderful things, making huge amounts of money isn’t one of them.
Fake Steve Jobs
The expert weighs in
Another interesting article was made by Paul Verna, an analyst with eMarketer. He is adopting the following issue: “the lack of a clear business model that can generate substantial revenues.”
If our business model is “ I want to make money on the Internet” you won’t go very far with it. But of course there are few fortunate situations when people made some good money from successful blogs.
So to sum up, like Fake Steve Jobs said, if you don’t have a good business model you won’t make any money.
Blogs are not television
In television, if you want to watch a movie, than you have to watch also his ads. When someone visits your site, if the ad isn’t something that he is looking for he won’t click on it, he won’t even look at it. So if you have huge traffic this doesn’t mean that you will earn huge money.
If you want to make money in the real world, solve real problems
The following quote explains the best what ideas you should have on your blog:
If you don’t offer customers something they dearly want, whether it’s to gain some great pleasure or escape some great pain, you’re not going to make any money.
We, bloggers, we must be as creative as musicians to make something special, else no one will take a look at it.
It’s time for online business to grow up
We all thought that if we made a site, than we will be rich. This kind of “business” worked for a while, but now it doesn’t. Now we must focus on what works, what always worked. Valuable content, solving problems, fix what’s bugging people.
