I personally run a number of blogs and websites filled with advertisement through several affiliate programs, and I still don’t make enough money to cover my monthly grocery bill. I have heard of one blogger in Singapore who is very successful by making roughly $800 per month, but he got there through very hard work and he got there after years of creating websites.
Much has been written about creating income through your website or blog, and, as many posts on my blog prove, scammers profit heavily from the desire to earn money through the Internet. After all, almost everybody has a high-speed Internet connection and creating your own website or blog is easy.
Just a fair warning upfront: Creating sufficient income through advertisement on your website or blog is virtually impossible!
I personally run a number of blogs and websites filled with advertisement through several affiliate programs, and I still don’t make enough money to cover my monthly grocery bill. I have heard of one blogger in Singapore who is very successful by making roughly $800 per month, but he got there through very hard work and he got there after years of creating websites.
The boom of making money through websites or blogs is over! Click rates are declining, i.e. readers are more and more reluctant to click on online ads.
Note: Google is still very successful, but not necessarily based on a few, very effective websites. Their success comes through volume, i.e. the vast number of not-so-effective websites producing a few clicks per month.
One of the Affiliate programs I had joined mentioned that you need a minimum of 30,000 unique visitors a month to create sufficient income, which is very difficult to achieve on a long-term basis, i.e you need to maintain that level through frequent updating of your website(s).
Let’s apply some realistic numbers based on my experience with Google Ads: CTR – Click Through Rate = 0.5% and $0.50 per click. Assuming 30,000 unique visitors per month, you will create 150 clicks per month and create an income of $75 per month.
Yes, you can increase the income by adding advertisement from other Affiliate programs, but 1. creating 30,000 unique visitors per month requires extraordinary work, and 2. excessive use of online ads may have a negative impact on your website’s acceptance.
The following represents my personal experience with a number of Affiliate systems:
- Google Adsense - Click Through Rate (CTR) is roughly 0.5% with roughly $0.50 per click. These numbers will vary from website to website depending on content and value to the Internet community. Needless to say, their ads are usually of good quality and are clearly adjusted to the website’s content. Payment options are very flexible, and they pay quickly. Over all my rating is “Good.”
- Infolinks – CTR = 2+% with roughly $0.12 per click. It seems that visitors are much more inclined to click on “inline” advertisement, but the downside is a lower income per click. In the end, Infolinks evens out with Google. Advantage: You can easily mix Google and Infolinks on your website, and it doesn’t look cluttered. The ads are not well adjusted to the web page content; I assume their variety of ads is limited compared to Google. What I don’t like is their payment policy. They don’t offer direct deposits into your bank account. Payments per direct deposit require a minimum of $400(!); PayPal $50; Recommended payment is per prepaid MasterCard. Also, you have to apply to add more websites, which is more or less a formality, but takes up to two days. Nevertheless, I am very satisfied with the daily income created through them. My rating: “Good.”
- Kontera – No data available; I only tested them briefly and discarded them quickly. Their pitch is that they’re better than Infolinks due to better “inline” ads, a statement that does not match my experience. Their ads are very limited and are by far not relevant to the website’s content. They allow only three inline ads per page, and they load very slowly (Infolinks shows a lot more ads without looking intrusive). Their payment options are very flexible, and you don’t need to apply to add more websites; you just add their code to any website you run. My rating: “Don’t bother.”
- Amazon.Com – Tough to compare with Google or others, since Amazon doesn’t pay per click. They pay a percentage of an actual sales made through the online ad, which can be up to several Dollars. Amazon provides a great number of different ads and different products, but they require more work to set up than other programs. This month I managed to create more than 300 clicks, but created only one sale (which is not typical). My rating: “Okay.”
- AdBrite – To say it upfront, I removed all AdBrite ads from my websites. CTR was 0.13%, and they paid in average $0.06 per click. You can choose between two levels of advertisement, the better one being the “family-friendly” version. “Family-Friendly” means you get ads from, for instance, Toyota or Porsche, which are promoted as high-quality, but in reality nobody clicks on their ads. The non-family-friendly version allows ads of the worst kind, including weight loss programs and other questionable services (to put it diplomatically). If you don’t care much about reputation, you can use them as a Google alternative. My rating: “Two thumbs down!”
- ClickBank – Terrible! Terrible! They work on the same principle as Amazon; they pay you per actual sales, which is acceptable. However, the quality of the product and service ads represents the lowest level I have experienced so far. First, they only provide you a link to the actual product page, which also includes your specific ID. You, as the ad publisher, are responsible to create a dedicated page for the product and include the hyperlink, meaning there is quite some effort involved. They offer a great number of products you can write about, but most of the product pages are maintained by what I consider to be scammers. The web pages are longer than my arm, filled with all kinds of success slogans, and you can’t leave the website without specifically clicking on the “Okay” button. My rating: “Stay away from Clickbank!”
I wish I could report two other services that seem to be the best when it comes to creating income:
- Text Link Ads – They rejected my website within 24 hours. Apparently, they have very high standards in regards to the website traffic you create. My 400,000+ web site hits per month didn’t do it for them.
- Chitika – The response from Chitika – four weeks after I applied- was especially interesting:
“We would like to apologize for the delay in your Chitika application review for account. As we prepare to transition to a new upgraded version of Chitika, we are temporarily holding off on approving new domains and accounts. Note: We are currently running an exclusive beta test on the new upgraded Chitika ads for large/ComScore 500 domains. If you are earning more than $10,000 USD per month from advertising on your domain (with AdSense, direct advertisers, etc.), please send us an email, or give us a call to speak with a Chitika team member.”
It is amazing how many websites you find these days promising you heaven on earth. Let me say it again: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t!
Welcome To Another Scam!
It is amazing how many websites you find these days promising you heaven on earth. Let me say it again: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t!
Fast Net Learning is offered by the same company who operates the Web Profit Club, another scammer service. To put it in a nut-shell, Fast Net Learning “teaches” you how to start a web site and run Google Ads on them. There is nothing sophisticated about this; this is common knowledge in the Internet world, and you don’t need to pay to run Google Ads.
If you sign up with Fast Net Learning you will spend money for a useless service. For more information see also my posts on making money from home. The whole Internet scam business started with a fictitious Kelly Richards and articles written about her such as “Work At Home Mom Makes $6,397/Month Part-Time” (If you still need more convincing, have a look at the comments below the article). A great number of people, not only within the United States, but all around the world, have already been scammed and lost their money!
My Advice:
- Visit a good bookstore (Barnes & Noble has a good selection) and look for “Google Adsense for Dummies” (no insult meant; I love the Dummies series!). Also, look for books on running your own website or blog (FrogenYozurt.com is a blog). This is a one-time investment!
- In order to run your own website sign up for an Internet Service Provider (ISP) such as GoDaddy.com, BlueHost.Com, or others (FrogenYozurt.Com is hosted by BlueHost).
- Read my article Does The Google Adsense Get-Rich-System Work?
A Few Comments:
- I checked out the FastNetLearning.com website, and under FAQ I found: “…most people make at least an average of $369 dollars per day…” – Well, call me picky, but if this was a professional service such typos wouldn’t happen. This is probably a one-man operation, and the guy is busy creating websites (which also proves that you can make money through the Internet).
- On the Privacy page, which contains the same wording as the Web Profit Club website, I found: “We can be reached via e-mail at privacy@fastnetlearning.com or you can reach us by telephone at …” – No phone number was listed; the sentence ends without a period.
- The Terms & Conditions page (again, the same content as under the Web Profit Club) is set up in an amateurish way, and they might not hold up in court. I assume, the guy just copied a standard text he found somewhere and modified items like company name and address.
- On the same page it shows “emailing our cancellation department cancel@webprofitcoach.com” which indicates they are running yet another website called WebProfitCoach.com.
- When you switch to the page to “Join Now,” you don’t sign up for the Fast Net Learning program, but rather for the Web Profit Coach.
- Under Terms & Conditions the company’s name is listed as “Media Hub LLC” while under the “Join Now” page it is “Cool Serve Corp.” On all other pages on the website the company name is FastNetLearing.com, LLC (Note the “Learing” instead of “Learning”).
- When it comes to support they give you a phone number and an e-mail address, support@fastnetlearning.com. Be aware that creating such an e-mail address is an easy task for an expert, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that there is a whole support department at work.
- I dialed the phone number as listed on their website, and I got the message, “The number you have dialed is not in service…” – I tried several times, making sure I didn’t dial the wrong number.
If you are earning more than $10,000 USD per month from advertising on your domain (with AdSense, direct advertisers, etc.), please send us an email, or give us a call to speak with a team member.
I have to admit that I am not immune to all the scams that happen on the Internet. Back in March of 2010 I discovered yet another website on blogging: Problogger.net.
According to their website: “Problogger.net is where bloggers worldwide go for advice and information on enhancing their blog’s presence. Whether you’re just starting out or have been blogging for years, these two professional bloggers show you how to turn your passion for blogging into extra revenue. This practical guide to creating and marketing a blog with the potential for generating a six-figure income shows you how to choose subject matter that works for you, handle technical issues, and evaluate your blog’s success so that you can use your blog to generate income indirectly.”
I usually am reluctant to recommend literature that promises the safe path to riches, but I did check out Darren Rowse’s web site, and everything I saw made sense. His book, ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income, is a compilation of his blog entries. I liked the section where he explains that only 1% of bloggers will be able to reach a six-figure income. He has reached the level where he currently is with hard work and perseverance. Whether or not his advise makes you rich is entirely up to you.
Initially I thought that reading this book was worth the money and time, but in the meantime I have changed my opinion about 180 degrees. Yes, his advice on blogging is solid, but he fails miserably when it comes to recommending income resources. First of all, the Google Adsense Getting-Rich System does not work as he claims – at least not for the blog starter. My blog experiences increasing web traffic (150,000+ hits in May), but after fifteen months of hard work the monthly income through Google ads does not even fill the tank of my car.
I also followed the advice to apply at other affiliate programs such as Text Link Ads (they rejected me the next day) or Chitika.
The response from Chitika – four weeks after I applied- was especially interesting:
“We would like to apologize for the delay in your Chitika application review for account. As we prepare to transition to a new upgraded version of Chitika, we are temporarily holding off on approving new domains and accounts. Note: We are currently running an exclusive beta test on the new upgraded Chitika ads for large/ComScore 500 domains. If you are earning more than $10,000 USD per month from advertising on your domain (with AdSense, direct advertisers, etc.), please send us an email, or give us a call to speak with a Chitika team member.”
I guess this proves the point that only the rich are getting richer…
Sure enough, after entering an e-mail address they switch you to a screen where you are asked to pay an initial low fee of only a few Dollars. In the end they will charge you a lot more, and these scammers know all the tricks to delay or prevent cancelations.
Just a while ago I “signed up” for a program to create income from home by writing articles and getting paid for it. I did this for the mere purpose of proving a scam. Sure enough, after entering an e-mail address they switch you to a screen where you are asked to pay an initial low fee of only a few Dollars. In the end they will charge you a lot more, and these scammers know all the tricks to delay or prevent cancelations. Needless to say but I did not sign up; I merely made some screen shots of the website.
Today I checked my spam filtering system, and, sure enough I had received multiple e-mails from info@trustedmailsender.com – doesn’t that boost your trust in them…? Well, it only shows how clever scammers act.
Needless to say, Rebecca Kingsley and the Work at Home Group are a scam!
The following represents a few e-mails I received lately:

Hello Wilfried,
Helping people work at home & create successful
financial futures is quite rewarding. With the
current financial crisis we are having right now
& our troubled economy looking to make a turn
for the worse its making it very scary
for a lot of people:
- People are losing their jobs.
- People are losing their retirement.
- Its just not a good situation in general!
Anyways the reason why I love my job is because
the Internet is virtually unaffected by all the
financial chaos going on in the ‘offline world’.
In fact, the demand of at home writers is
greater than ever due to many companies downsizing
their labor force and looking to cut costs
by hiring remote workers through organizations
like this.

Making money from home is not easy, and you can’t be cautious enough about the offers you find through the Internet. I started my article series Making Money From Home after almost falling for the Google Profit Library scam, and I received many comments from people who almost fell for it, too. One of these comments was more pro-active than the rest, because the commenter recommended what I believe to be a legitimate solution: Selling candles.
Making money from home is not easy, and you can’t be cautious enough about the offers you find through the Internet. I started my article series Making Money From Home after almost falling for the Google Profit Library scam, and I received many comments from people who almost fell for it, too. One of these comments was more pro-active than the rest, because the commenter recommended what I believe to be a legitimate solution: Selling candles. See the information below.
However, first of all, a disclaimer: I have published this comment in the belief that this is a legitimate business, but I have not engaged into any research, and I cannot vouch that this is not a scam. I do, however, know that several of my friends are creating income through selling candles. As always, please do your homework and do some research. Last, but not least, I cannot stress enough that success comes only with blood, sweat, tears, and time… a lot of time! If somebody promises you instantaneous success, it’s most probably a scam.
Here’s the comment:
“Thank you for the information. My husband and I were looking at this last night. We’ve been scammed a few times, so we also search something with the word scam after it. For those of you looking for something to do from home, I can tell you a few. I am an independent consultant for the company who supplies the candles for the white house. It is not a get rich quick, but I personally know people who make over $1000 a month. You do work, but you can start by having friends/family over for an evening or afternoon of fun. They are on Facebook. Also, their website is http://www.partylite.com. There are also serious jobs out there as secret shoppers. Google it. You do have to check the companies out, some are not legit.”
If you have any experience with selling candles through PartyLite, positive or negative, please fell free to post a comment here by responding to my post – See comment box below.
A No-Nonsense Guide to a Professional Blog
Last, but not least, if you want honest information on how to start a web site or blog and make money from it, check out my book, A No-Nonsense Guide to a Professional Blog (There is also a preview of the book). Honestly, I wrote it after learning about the so-called “Google Profit Library” and reading the book “New Path to Riches” by Nick Usborne (Don’t buy it. It’s a huge waste of time!). I deemed it was time to stop the nonsense. The book shows you step by step how to set up a professional blog with some advice on how to run it, and maybe even make some money from it. The difference is, you don’t pay me at all (I would appreciate that you buy the book, paperback or PDF), and the required investment of roughly $120 per year goes to your Internet service provider for running your web site. Also, check out myprofessionalblog.com. This is the web site I created to write the book, meaning I created the web site, made screen-shots and included them into the document.
The principe is easy: You create a website or blog, then you add Google ads. As I explained before, the Google Adsense service is free of charge and is available for everybody who runs a website. As soon as somebody comes to your website and clicks on one of the Google ads, you will have created an income between a few cents and a Dollar depending on the ad. Adding these ads to your website is fairly easy; the Google website will provide you the code that you just copy and paste. Also through the Google website you can keep track on your income, and Google pays you on a monthly basis.
Lack of money is the root of all evil.
- George Bernard Shaw
Just the other day I received another comment on the current Internet scam, may it be the Google Profit Library or the Web Profit Club, famously promoted through the “success” of Kelly Richards, a.k.a. Michelle Richardson, Melissa Johnson, and other names.
Let me quote the comment:
“I made the mistake of “fooling myself” and submitting my info for the internet scam fraud you wrote about in January, but because your article popped up, I called to cancel my account. They have an address, a billing department and a customer service department. I was able to cancel my account and avoid the $139 charge, but is the company valid? I see from your article that the advertising is fake, but what about this business? Are people doing this?”
1. Is the Company valid?
Yes, companies offering a getting-rich-system based on creating income through Google ads, despite a despicable business attitude, are valid – as far as I can tell. In turn, the services and advice they offer are are valid as well.
The Web Profit Club, for instance, is located at 11136 Ferragamo CT, Las Vegas, NV 89141, if you can believe their web site information. The first warning sign, though, is their very limited web site where the majority of links lead to the same page. The disclaimer, terms and conditions, and the privacy policy on their web site are written and presented in an amateurish way, and, when push comes to shove, they might not hold up in court. My estimate is that this is a one-man operation, proving that you can make money through the Internet… It is easy to set up a web site like this and pretend you have a customer service department, You just set up an e-mail address such as support@webprofitclub.com, and everybody is convinced that the service department, in fact, exists.
So, what’s the real scam, you may ask?
What these companies sell you as a service is common knowledge in the Internet world!
The scam starts with the simple fact that you don’t need these companies to start your own website and add Google ads. The Google Adsense service is free of charge, and it is available to everybody who runs a website. You can avoid services, such as the Web Profit Club, by buying Google Adsense for Dummies (a much better and at the same time cheaper investment for the same thing), or even use the vast information on the Internet, or even have a look at the Google Adsense tour.
The scam continues with promising fast cash and getting rich very fast. All you have to do is paying their monthly fee – an initial $2.97 sign-up fee plus a (hidden) monthly fee of $49.00 and $139.00 for additional services. The service description and charges may change, but the pattern is the same: You pay good money for something that doesn’t work for 99.99% of the users. On top you don’t need their services and you don’t need to pay them to go through that kind of experience.
2. Are people doing this?
I interpret the question as: Are people using the system as offered by the scammers? I don’t have any solid information, but I am sure that some users actually are using the system, and they may even make money out of it.
The question arises again, why should we not sign up with the Web Profit Club?
The answer is very simple: First, as I explained before, you don’t need the Web Profit Club (or whatever term they use these days; there is a multitude of similar services out there) to create your own website with Google ads. Secondly, the system will not work for the vast majority of users, and I will explain why.
How to get rich through Goole Ads – or not
The principe is easy: You create a website or blog, then you add Google ads. As I explained before, the Google Adsense service is free of charge and is available for everybody who runs a website. As soon as somebody comes to your website and clicks on one of the Google ads, you will have created an income between a few cents and a Dollar depending on the ad. Adding these ads to your website is fairly easy; the Google website will provide you the code that you just copy and paste. Also through the Google website you can keep track of your income, and Google pays you on a monthly basis.
Sounds easy enough, but there are a few obstacles; the most serious of them is creating web traffic. The other problem is that you cannot create sufficient income through only one website or blog; the average income will not be sufficient to pay for your monthly grocery bill, let alone a mortgage.
Okay, the solution is to create more than just one website, let’s say 500. Let’s apply some math to calculate the possible income: You run 500 websites, and each website draws 2,000 visitors per month. You assume that 2% of these visitors will actually click on an ad (it’s called the average CTR – Click Through Rate, and 2% is low). With an average payment of $0.25 per click and 40 clicks a day you will have made $10.00 per day per website. With 500 websites you make $5,000 a day! That’s $1,825,000 a year!
The saying is, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t. On the other hand, you may say, it’s not about getting filthy rich, and maintaining 500 websites seems a little out of reach. We just want to make a reasonable second income, and even if we are not quite as successful, we just might make enough money to keep us happy.
Okay, rule #1 in any business: Success comes only with blood, sweat, tears, and time – a lot of time. It doesn’t come with working 15 hours a week, and the rest of your time you sit at your swimming pool sipping your martini. Even if you spent 80 hours a week you will not see instantaneous success. As I wrote before, creating a website and adding Google ads is easy, but you will have trouble creating web traffic. Your web site is only one out of countless others in the world wide web.
My personal blog, at the time of this writing, attracts 4,000+ unique visitors a month. I got there by adding to my blog on a constant basis plus applying a ton of measures to attract attention. I reached the 4,000 mark after roughly 14 months. I, too, use some Google ads, but I have to admit my main focus is on promoting the books I wrote. The income through Google ads on my blog is roughly $20 a month. It could be more if I filled the whole place with ads, but, again, that is not my intention.
My advice, in case you still want to jump on the wagon:
1. Do not sign up for the Web Profit Club or similar services promising you the ultimate path to riches.
2. Open an account with a reputable Internet service provider such as GoDaddy.com, BlueHost.com, or others. Believe me, it’s easy. The costs will be around $120 a year, but it’s money well spent on a legitimate and honest business.
3. Create a website or, even better, a blog. My recommendation is to install WordPress on your website. This very website you are looking at was created with WordPress.
4. Sign up for a Google Adsense Account at adsense.google.com.
5. Don’t expect to get rich overnight.
Start out with a blog in a niche, about a topic you are knowledgeable and passionate about. The main rule is to create unique and valid content. The next rule is to create as much content as you can, and you need to do that on a regular basis. If your blog runs well, you can think about starting another one, and another one, applying the same principle. Nevertheless, the process will take time, and, still, there is no guarantee for success.

Recession Buster
Working online provides great jobs in stale marketWork At Home Mum Makes £4,397/Month Part-Time
Online News 6 Investigates Online Work at Home Programs…
Have You Ever Thought About Working Online?
Melissa Johnson never thought she would have a job working at home until one day she filled out a simple form online. Before she knew it, she discovered her secret to beating the recession, and being able to provide for her family while at home with her two children.
I read Melissa’s blog last month and decided to feature her story in our local job report. In our phone interview she she told me her amazing story. “I actually make about £3,000-£5,000 a month using the internet. It is enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 10-15 hours a week from home.
Working online has been a financial windfall for Melissa, who struggled for months to find a decent job during the struggling economy. “I was afraid of losing my job after the recession hit, I needed reliable income, I was not interested in the “get rich quick” scams you see all over the internet. Those are all pyramid scams or stuff where you have to sell to your friends and family. I just needed a legitimate way to earn a living for me and my family. The best part of working online is that I am always home with the kids, I save a lot of money.”
I asked her about how she started her remarkable journey. “It was pretty easy, I filled out a short form and applied for a work at home kit. I got the Kit and within four weeks I was making over £4,000 a month. It’s really simple, I am not a computer whiz, but I can use the internet. I post links that are given to me, I don’t even have to sell anything and nobody has to buy anything. They are constantly recruiting people to post links, you should try it.”
Working online has changed peoples lives overnight. These great companies have been helping people to work from home and give them new jobs. There are plenty of scams on the internet claiming you can make £50,000 a month, but that is exactly what they are scams. From my conversation with Melissa, “I am making a good salary from home, which is amazing, under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank god every day that I filled out that form.”
Quickly, Melissa Johnson was able to use a simple kit to make it out of the recession.
Melissa had never shared her story before, and with her permission, we are putting it public

@Thomas, I’m using it now and it’s working pretty well actually! I paid a dollar for shipping, got it in a few days, signed up for my account and have been cranking along ever since. My first week I made a whopping £288 and the second week I doubled that then it kinda snowballed to £500 a day! I’m gonna grow this puppy as big as I can. Here’s a screen shot of my stats, my wife is in shock.

Is this for real? I tried one thing and it didn’t pan out. I made about £500 a month but that was 2 years ago. I’m going to give this a shot.

Just a quick notice about this thing. It does work but you have to be able to use a computer at least somewhat. If you can use email, etc. then you’ll be fine.

Does anyone know if you have to have any programs or a certain computer to make this work?
Justin

Hey Dan, the answer is No. Any computer you have will work, I currently use this system on an old laptop and it works great. You just need the kit that the author named in the article.

I’d just like to add my story; I think others would like to hear it. I too was always leery about work at home offers because they always seemed to be scams. But after the recession hit, I was a little frightened. I wanted to have a backup plan just in case. So, I took your advice and got my free kit. It worked like a charm – I was earning money right away! I eventually did get laid off, just as I had feared, but since I had been using the online kit, I had money to fall back on. Now I’m doing better than I had at my job!
