How to Become a Youtube Celebrity
1.
Find your niche. Decide what it is that you are good at. Can you deliver the news in a funny way. Do you aspire to create a comedy show. Youtube offers limitless possibilities. You can upload videos of literally anything you want. Creativity is key. Find something you are passionate about and decide how to express it through video.
2.
Become familiar with Youtube celebrities. Have you ever heard of 'sxephil'? How about 'Fred'? To view the most subscribed to users on Youtube go to http://www.youtube.com/members?t=a&p=1&s=ms&g=0. Become familiar with them. Most have to do with news, music, and especially comedy.
3.
Create a username that is catchy and relevant to your Youtube venture/persona. 'Communitychannel' and 'sxephil' are good examples.
4.
Start uploading your content. Display your mission statement, your bio page, and your first videos. The actual quality of the videos is not extremely important, but if it is bad people are less likely to enjoy it.
5. Be consistent. Set goals of how many videos you plan to make and when you plan to upload them.
6.
Become an active Youtuber. Comment on others' videos, choose your favorites, and converse with people. This will familiarize you more with the Youtube community while drawing more traffic to your videos.
7.
Advertise. Myspace, Facebook, Twitter. Do all you can to get the word out. The more views your videos receive, the more they are likely to receive.
8.
Monetize. Put Adsense on your video pages. Create a website and link to it. Many Youtube celebrities sell their merchandise on their websites as well as have affiliate sponsors to earn even more money.
9.
Move onto other ventures to increase your celebrity. The top users on Youtube are offered tv deals, merchandising contracts, etc. Good luck!
How to Make Money Blogging For Free
Contextual Ads
Allowing advertisers to display promotional ads is a common way to make money from blogs. The Web offers a variety of contextual ad programs that automatically show dynamic advertisements targeted at your website’s niche. Popular programs include AdSense, Chitika and ADBrite. After you sign up, implement the designated code provided by the program through your blog’s general settings or HTML editor, then allow for compliant ads to populate.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing consists of products or premium services where you receive a commission with each successful sale. Programs such as LinkShare.com and CommissionJunction.com are prominent examples, allowing you to earn from hundreds of niche products and services. Select from the promotional banners typically available and insert it into your blog. Each sale successfully earns you a specified amount of money.
CPA Offers
Cost per Action, or CPA, is similar to affiliate marketing models; however, you receive payment for completing a task for companies and advertisers. These may include having users provide their contact information to receive future offers, as well as downloading a program to their computer. Much like other promotional methods, select the offer you wish to advertise on your blog through hyperlinks or through banner ads as provided by the advertiser.
Products and Services
If your blog receives a steady amount of traffic, sell your own products or services to loyal visitors. Establish a trusted relationship and offer any particular gig such as writing services, Web design or photo editing. Provide examples of your work to impress potential customers or approach other tactics such as one-time free services to new clients.
Blog Networks
Join paid blog networks and earn money by writing for fellow bloggers or promoting their content on your blog. Your job generally consists of writing about any particular topic based on the advertiser’s criteria. If the post is accepted, you are subsequently paid a specified amount. Prominent blog networks include PayPerPost.com, Blogsvertise.com and SponsoredReviews.com.
Donations
If you consistently provide valuable information to your readers, consider adding a way to receive donations from users. Many bloggers practice this method successfully, as people generally appreciate the information you provide to loyal readers free of charge. Prominent ecommerce sources such as PayPal and Payza offer customizable donation buttons you can place into your blog’s HTML editor or main widget screen.

How to Install a WordPress Ad Code
1. Create one or more ad graphics, measuring 125 pixels wide by 125 pixels in height. Use a graphic design software application to create this artwork. Save these ads in a high resolution such as 600 dpi and in a .jpeg or .gif file form. Save them to your hard drive with short but clearly identifiable labels such as 'jonesad' or 'bakeryad.'
2. Open your FTP program and connect with the remote server containing your WordPress blog files. Navigate to your root directory or create new a file folder where you want to store your ad art images. Load all your ad art images to this file using your FTP tools.
3. Download the WP125 plug-in or a theme or widget that creates or features 125x125 ads. Free ad widgets are available on several widget websites, including widgetbox.com. WordPress design studios like Press75.com offer several themes for sale that include ads. The WP125 plug-in is free. Download the plug-in, theme or code file to your hard drive and extract the files to a folder on the drive.
4. Navigate to the appropriate folder on your WordPress server using your FTP program. If you are installing the WP125 plug-in, place the files in the 'wp-content/plugins' folder. If you are installing a theme, place the files in the 'wp-content/themes' folder. If you are using an ad widget however, do not load this onto your server; load it directly into the Widget area on your WordPress dashboard.
5. Open your blog dashboard. If you loaded the plug-in, navigate to 'Appearance/plugins' and find the new WP125 plug-in and click on 'Activate' to install it. If you loaded a theme, navigate to 'Appearance/themes,' find the new theme, and click on 'Activate' to launch it. If you are using a widget, navigate to 'Appearance/Widgets.' Create a new widget box by dragging a 'Text' widget from the 'Available Widgets' over to your widget sidebar. Open the widget box and paste the widget ad code into the box.
6. Configure the plug-in, theme or widget so the code 'points' to the location of the ad art images you've stored on your server. Any of the three options will provide you with this ability to 'point' the code so it knows where to find the corresponding art. Type in the URL of the art location, such as 'http://myblog.com/ads/bakeryad.jpeg.' Save the changes.
7. Set up the WP125 plug-in with some further instructions and refinements. You can schedule several different ads to 'play' in the ad box at different times. You can also place a timer on ads so they will stop showing on the page after a certain date. This plugin will also allow you to use double-width ads, 250 pixels x 125 pixels, without further special modifications to the code or the page.
How to Sign Up for Google AdSense
1. Navigate to google.com/adsense. Click the button that says 'Sign Up Now.'
2. Fill in the required information, including primary URL for the website on which you will advertise, account type, name, address and phone number. Verify that the information you input is correct so that you will receive your Google AdSense money when it is time for your payout. Click 'Submit Information.'
3. Connect your Google AdSense account to an email address. It is best to use a Google email, or Gmail, address so that you can log into all of Google's services at once. Enter your email address information and click 'Continue.'
4. Log into the email address you entered in Step 3 and open the email from Google AdSense. Click the confirmation link to activate your Google AdSense account. You will now be able to log into Google AdSense and create ads to place on your website.
How to Blog for Cash
1. Sign up with a paid blogging site. Some blogging sites pay you to blog. They pay a fixed amount for your first post each day and an additional amount for traffic to your blog. Your payments can go up if you increase the traffic to your blog. To be hired by one of these sites, you will need to submit a writing sample and idea for a blog.
2. Sign up for a Google AdSense account. If you already have an unpaying blog, sign up for a Google AdSense account and add the widget to your blog. You will be paid by Google for the traffic you bring to your page. The longer your traffic stays on your page, the more you will be paid. You earn more if your visitors click on the Google ad links.
3. Sign up for a pay-per-post (PPP) advertising site. PPP sites give you topics to write about and then pay you to write a post on your blog about the specific topic. You will need to have had a blog open for at least 90 days in order to get approved for PPP blogging. Apply to one of the many PPP sites out there, and sign up for their assignments. You may wish to let your readers know that you are doing this, since the subjects you will be writing about may have nothing to do with the subject of your blog. Look into PayPerPost.com and other PPP sites.
4. Sell advertising space on your blog. If you have a popular blog with a high volume of traffic, you may wish to sell or lease advertising space on your blog. You can decide what size the space is (this will depend on the widgets your blog service offers). You can post placeholder widgets on your site letting your visitors know they can rent that space for a certain amount per month.
5. Add an Amazon widget to your blog. If a reader clicks on the Amazon widget on your blog and buys a book or CD from Amazon, you will earn a commission.
