Paid surveys online is an easy thing to start making money with when you are in need for some quick cash. There are a few things you will need in order to start doing this in the right way though.

Today I would like to go over some things that can get you on your way of being successful with paid surveys. Some people do not have the essentials in order to be successful with this and make a full time income.

Computer

Obviously, the first thing you will need to have is a computer. A computer of your own is the best way to go because you will get a lot more work done this way. Using a public computer will only make you dread actually going to the place you need to and then starting to do your work around people you don't know. With your computer you will also need internet, which high speed is what I recommend that way you can get through the surveys quickly.

Create a Business Email Account

When you start signing up with companies for paid surveys, you will be receiving many emails from them. Sometimes these emails you will get sent will pay you to even read them. So, before getting confused as to what is spam and not, you should separate your business emails from your personal emails. You can get a free email account with hotmail, yahoo, or Gmail.

Finding Paid Surveys

You will need to start searching for companies that you can take paid surveys from. You can do this by doing a search online for surveys that you would like to take. Most companies will tend to pay you the minimum at first for taking surveys. When they see you are getting serious with it then they will start sending you the high paying ones.

Another way you can find paid surveys is by joining a paid survey site. These sites usually only require you to sign up once and then you will be sent a list of surveys you can take every day.

Dedication

The most important thing that can either make or break your business is how well you stay dedicated to it. You will never make a full time income with this if you keep getting frustrated or taking breaks from it. You must treat it like it is a real job with deadlines. Keeping a dedicated mind will get you far down the road.

Always keep your trading systems simple. Too much information at one time on your trading screen could confuse and delay your decision to trade.

Broker

A lot of Forex brokers are in business only to make money from yours. Read forums, blogs and chats around the net to get an unbiased opinion before you choose your broker.

Sample the Trading Environment

It is important to remember that many registered and online trading agents have fictitious platforms which mirror the real-time, live platform clients register and trade on. It is not only advisable, but it is also actively encouraged to initially open a 'dummy' account where fictitious Forex trades can be undertaken that closely reflect what real trades may be like when they are eventually undertaken. Such platforms are designed to give those that are new to Forex a feel and an idea what real trades on live markets will be like when the decision is made to begin trading.

Buy low, Sell high

Forex trading does not involve the physical purchase of the currencies, but rather involves contracts for amount and exchange rate of currency pairs. The potential for profit comes from the fluctuations in the currency exchange market. Regular daily fluctuations in the value of one currency against another give a clear advantage over conventional stock market equities and instruments.

Manage Losing Positions

Trades will sometimes inevitably on occasion go against you. It is important to accept them as an inherent part of trading. Cut your losses and move on having learned from any mistakes made. Always remember however that you will not be able to trade without losing some positions. It is important to manage these well.

Trading Patience

Do not over-trade your account. Good money management practice is important and will help with profitability. This will go a long way in helping you develop a strategy which fits with your personal trading capital. Operate a trailing stop loss policy say 15 to 20 pips behind the trade. Minimize your good trades as long as you are confident.

Flexible Mindset

Don't set yourself false targets and expectations. Experts will tell you trading is not an exact science and setting oneself unattainable targets will only lead to frustration and feeling of failure when these targets are not met. Always maintain an open mind. The market is a constantly changing environment tunes your mindset to understand this.

And lastly but definitely not least, it is most important for all market participants to remember that unique experiences and past performances do not guarantee future results. Trading results can vary in any combination of circumstances. If you do not have extra capital that you can afford to lose, you should not trade in the foreign exchange market.

Invest wisely and take advantage of the resources and technology available to you in the market.

Online money making is very hard lately especially if I have Yuwie on my mind. First few months my earnings and referrals were increasing around 100% every month. Till they reach peak on New Years Eve. After that everything went down.

February was my worst month with Yuwie program. I reached only 44,483 page views and earned $1.39. I think that is too low for my 1196 referrals (money and page views). So, I guess people don't visit Yuwie anymore.

I totally understand everyone! Who would visit the site which offers you cents for tens of thousands page views!!! I certainly won’t!

I just hope that I will receive minimum payment from Yuwie, which is also set very high - $25 is minimum payment and I am at $12, 65 now.

Don't get me wrong! Yuwie is very good program, but administrators appetites are to high. Instead sharing real money with its users they share pennies and cents with them and that are certainly not the best way for online money making success!!!
Yuwie needs some payment policy changes real quick if they won’t to exist in the future! In the name of Yuwie members I hope one of the administrators will read this: Share the money!!! February earnings worst so far!

Keywords are the words that web surfers enter in search engines to find websites about their search terms. If you want to get in front of your potential audience, it's important your website has good search engine rankings for your keywords that are related to the theme of your website.

Knowing what your target audience wants and how they are looking online is crucial to your online success. Optimizing your web pages for keywords that nobody uses in the search engines is useless. In addition, in order to get targeted visitors, the keywords must not be too broad or too general. Your copy and metatags should also support the keyword phrases your market uses and entice them with copy that meets their needs and compels them to action.

The Right Keywords for Your Website

The first step in successful SEO copywriting is choosing the right keywords to make them very specific to your market. You can survey your target market for their keyword usage or use more thorough keyword research tools. When conducting the keyword research and analysis:

1. use keyword phrases containing two to four words
2. be specific - geographically, topically, or by product
3. only use the keywords that are important to your web business
4. avoid very competitive keywords or general keyword phrases
   

Use focused and targeted keyword phrases that are common enough so the web searcher will use them, but selective enough that they don't return millions of matches. Most web surfers use a two to four word phrase when they search online, so phrasing is very important. For example, if you are offering a service like photo sessions or Internet Marketing, you wouldn't target the key phrase "photography school" or "SEO", but something more specific like "Canon experts review" or "Adsense Search Engine Optimization". Very specific keywords generate highly qualified, targeted traffic that increases your sales opportunities.

The Wrong Keywords for Your Website

Single words cannot promote ranking or sell effectively, for example you wouldn't want to target "review" as a Canon expert. Avoid the most popular keyword phrases or general keyword phrases because you'll be competing with millions of other web pages for a search engine ranking.

It's unrealistic to think that a new web site could rank number one on a popular phrase like "Marketing". You are better to target "Internet marketing strategies" or even better, "Internet Marketing Strategies New York". More established companies who have been on the Internet for several years will have the advantage of link popularity and a high Pagerank and therefore better rankings in the search results for these broader or general keyword phrases.

Feeding the Search Engine Machines - SEO

Another critical factor to help drive the targeted traffic to your site is optimizing the site using metatags. Metatags, often overlooked and misunderstood, are elements of HTML coding on a website. Search engines use these metatags to help them determine what the site is about and assist with indexing a website. Most metatags are included within the 'header' code of a website. The most important tags are the title tag, description tag and the keywords tag. Different search engines have different rules about how these tags are used and how many characters they should contain. Of importance to the process is if you know how the big three - Google, Yahoo and MSN - review the tags, then you'll be targeting 90% of potential web surfers.

To make good use of your metatags use your targeted keywords that you found during your keyword research and analysis in the site copy and the metatags.

By reviewing or crawling your website content and metatags, search engines will find out what your web site is about. As soon as search engines consider your web site relevant to the topic or search, the easier it is to get high rankings for your keywords and key phrases.

Microsoft just announced a proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of Yahoo! Microsoft's proposal to Yahoo's board of directors represents $31 per share (a 62% premium over yesterday's closing price) or about $44.6 Billion.

Steve Ballmer, CEO and big fan of developers, says, "We have great respect for Yahoo!, and together we can offer an increasingly exciting set of solutions for consumers, publishers and advertisers while becoming better positioned to compete in the online services market." Apparently, the deal was laid out in a letter sent by Ballmer to Yahoo's board just yesterday. Seriously. The letter confirms that the two giants have been discussing the topic since late 2006. It also appears to be a direct response to the Google threat as outlined in the following paragraph:

"Today, the market is increasingly dominated by one player who is consolidating its dominance through acquisition. Together, Microsoft and Yahoo! can offer a credible alternative for consumers, advertisers, and publishers."

The deal, of course, rests with the two coming to a "merger agreement" and Microsoft (and Yahoo to a limited degree) having the time to conduct the required due diligence. Microsoft is ready to begin immediate discussions and have a draft merger agreement ready for consideration. So Yahoo, ball's in your court. The world is wondering... what will you do?

Yahoo! Board of Directors and management team unanimously concluded that the proposal is not in the best interests of Yahoo! and its stockholders

After careful evaluation, the Board believes that Microsoft’s proposal substantially undervalues Yahoo! including our global brand, large worldwide audience, significant recent investments in advertising platforms and future growth prospects, free cash flow and earnings potential, as well as our substantial unconsolidated investments. The Board of Directors is continually evaluating all of its strategic options in the context of the rapidly evolving industry environment and we remain committed to pursuing initiatives that maximize value for all stockholders.

But Microsoft responded and seems persistent on the deal.

We are offering shareholders superior value and the opportunity to participate in the upside of the combined company. The combination also offers an increasingly exciting set of solutions for consumers, publishers and advertisers while becoming better positioned to compete in the online services market. A Microsoft-Yahoo! combination will create a more effective company that would provide greater value and service to our customers. Furthermore, the combination will create a more competitive marketplace by establishing a compelling number two competitor for Internet search and online advertising. The Yahoo! response does not change our belief in the strategic and financial merits of our proposal.

Google seems very concerned about the future of the Internet

Microsoft plus Yahoo! equals an overwhelming share of instant messaging and web email accounts. And between them, the two companies operate the two most heavily trafficked portals on the Internet. Could a combination of the two take advantage of a PC software monopoly to unfairly limit the ability of consumers to freely access competitors’ email, IM, and web-based services? Policymakers around the world need to ask these questions — and consumers deserve satisfying answers.

It seems Yahoo! is seeking to restart merger talks with AOL as a means of defending itself against the $45 billion hostile bid approach from Microsoft.

My personal perspective is, that we don't need such big market giant (Microsoft + Yahoo), because it won't brings us nothing good! That's for sure!

[Deleted - Prohibited Uses] (You shall not) display any Ad(s), Link(s), or Referral Button(s) on any error page, on any registration or “thank you” page (e.g., a page that thanks a user after he/she has registered with the applicable Web site), on any chat page, in any email*.

2. You may place the AdSense for Search box on web pages that have no other content.

[Deleted - AdSense for Search] Each Web page(s) that contains a Google Search Box must also contain other content related to Your Site.

[Deleted - AdSense for Content] You agree that while You may display more than one (1) Ad Unit on each Site Web page, You shall not display any Ad Unit on a page that contains Ads associated with another Google AdSense customer (e.g., Your Web hosting company), unless authorized to do so by Google.

4. AdSense Referral products (like Firefox, Google Pack, etc) can be placed on web pages that contain no other content.

8. AdSense Publishers probably need to add a new privacy policy to their website disclosing information about ad cookies to visitors.

[Added - Program Participation] You must have and abide by an appropriate privacy policy that clearly discloses that third parties may be placing and reading cookies on your users’ browser, or using web beacons to collect information, in the course of ads being served on your website. Your privacy policy should also include information about user options for cookie management.

Important: If you are an AdSense Publisher, you are required to accept these new AdSense Terms and Conditions before May 25, 2008 else you may not be able to continue using your Google AdSense account.

Disclaimer: The above is based on my understanding of the AdSense terms document. I may have misinterpreted some of the lines so please consult your AdSense rep before taking the next step.By Digital Inspiration team.
