How Do I Post Affiliate Links on Blogger.com?



1. Open a blank document in your favorite word processor and copy and paste the affiliate code into it. Make sure the code you copy has your unique affiliate code inside of it. This code or user ID number tells the website where its traffic came from as well as whom to pay should a customer purchase one of their products because of the incoming traffic. Save the document for later use and open your Web browser.

2. Go to Blogger.com and sign in using your email address and password. Select the blog you want to use the affiliate link on and click on the 'Design' link. This page is an overview of your blog's page elements. However, before copying the code onto the blog, you'll want to back it up.

3. Back up you blog by clicking on the 'Edit HTML' link in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Click on the 'Download Full Template' link on the following page to back up your blog. This is just in case the code doesn't work or if you'd like to change the blog back to the way it was.

4. Go back to the 'Design' page by either hitting the 'Back' button on your browser or clicking on the 'Page Elements' link in the upper left-hand corner. You're now back where you started.

5. Click on the 'Add a New Gadget' link where your sidebar is located. A Gadget will allow you to add things such as widgets, HTML codes and images without harming the rest of the blog. Look through the list of gadgets for one called 'HTML/JAVASCRIPT.'

6. Select the 'HTML/JAVASCRIPT' widget to open a new page. Add a title to the widget if you like and then go back to your word document where you saved the affiliate's special code. Copy the code from your word processing document and past it into the content box of your new widget.

7. Hit 'Save' to close the pop-up window and then click the orange 'Save' button in the upper right-hand corner of your blog's elements page. After saving, you can check and see how the new addition to your blog looks.

8. View your changes by clicking on the 'View Blog' link at the top of the screen. Make sure the widget with your affiliate code is in the right place and is centered. Click on the link to see if it goes to the right page. If you get an error or a page not found, look over the code in your widget, your word processing document and the affiliate's website for any differences or errors.

How to get paid for independent films on YouTube



1. Visit the YouTube Rental Partner Beta website and fill out the application form. The success of your application will depend on how many page views your current videos on YouTube have amassed

2. Check your email for confirmation from YouTube on the success of your application. This can take up to two months to process.

3. Configure your video settings in your YouTube account once you have Partner confirmation from YouTube. This includes 'Claiming' and 'Enabling' your target video for the Rental Partner Beta program.

4. Set a fixed price for a video, as of May 2010 between 99 cents and $19.99. Gauge the competition in the YouTube Store before choosing a price level.

5. Select the time frame a viewer is allowed to rent out your video. As a guideline, most videos headlining the front page of the YouTube Store are available for only 24 hours. However, you can increase this to 1 week if you wish to offer your users more flexibility and generate more purchases.

How to Develop Sell Turnkey Websites



Developing Turnkey Websites

1. Determine which open source web programming software will best suit your needs. For instance, Joomla is a great content management system that can be used to easily create magazine type websites and subscription based sites. While Wordpress is great for developing a quick blog type site with easy-to-build content, thanks to a great admin area. Then there's Drupal and PHPFox for social networking type sites, and so on and so forth. OpenCMS offers a great resource for finding the best software for your website building needs.

2. Install the website building program you decide to use. For some applications, you may be able to use a one button installer known as 'Fantasico,' so you'll need to check with your provider to see if simple installs are available. If simple installs are not an option, read the readme file that comes with your download.

3. Choose a 'template' for your program. Most applications such as Wordpress and Joomla offer free and premium templates that can be installed to give your website an immediate professional or fun look.

4. Write content and upload it to your site. A basic niche website should contain at least 5-10 pages of original content, while larger websites will obviously require more work. The content should focus on a certain topic that gives the website a certain focus.

5. Publish the new content to the website.

Selling A Website Once It Offers Content

6. Visit popular website selling sites such as Sitepoint and forums.digitalpoint. These sites allow users to list their sites and what they offer.

7. Make sure to include important site information with your free listings such as: Number of Visitors, Whether the content is original, Revenue currently being made, and any other pertinent info, such as the platform the site is based on and the host currently being used, along with terms of the sale.

8. Set a BIN (Buy It Now) price for the website. If it's a quick site you set up in a few hours you probably don't want to go to high with the price, but make sure to include in the pricing structure all of the work that went into the website.

9. Accept payment from the winning bidder and then transfer the site to the winner and make sure they accept the transferred files. Set up terms as to when you can delete the pages from your own server.

How to Start A Blog for Free



1. Browse to one of the sites listed in Resources.Blogger is integrated with Google Adsense, which can make you a little cash on the side if your blog becomes popular. Google also allows you to claim a domain name for your blog. Instead of myblog.blogger.com, it could be myblogsite.com. On the downside, Blogger doesn't offer much in the way of simple customization. Beyond the basic layout changes through their admin interface, you'll need to dive into the HTML and CSS to change things.WordPress, on the other hand, is free to install on any website you already own, which means complete customization. They host blogs on their site, but these have fewer options for end users. Integrating ads into a WordPress blog isn't as quick as with Blogger, but you can use any ads you like, instead of being restricted to Google Adsense.Tumblr is a little different from the other two – it's minimalistic and there are fewer personalization features, but the simple interface and follow system (similar to Facebook's like and repost system) has appeal for some users, especially more casual bloggers.

2. Sign up with the site by choosing a name for your blog, entering your information, username, password and email.Try to be descriptive when choosing the name for your blog – the name will help readers find your blog in search engines.

3. Choose a template or theme for your blog. Themes and templates can always be changed later, if you're in a hurry.If you're having difficulty picking a theme, consider your readers and the subject of your blog. The most obvious difference between blogs is the theme – a technology blog rarely looks like a home gardening blog, for example, in part because of the theme. If you understand what your readers will find most appealing, choosing a theme along that line will add some extra flair to your blog.

4. Make your first posting or customize your blog.

How to Use HTML in WordPress Text Widget



1. Visit yoursite.com/wp-admin and log into your WordPress dashboard. Click 'Appearance' and then 'Widgets' in the left-hand menu. On the right-hand side of the screen are your website's sidebars and other widget-capable areas, named things like 'Sidebar' or 'Footer Widget Section.' These names usually describe the section of the page they effect. Click on the one you want to work with to expand it.

2. Find the 'Text' widget in the middle of the 'Widgets' page and drag and drop it into the sidebar of your choosing. You can add as many 'Text' widgets to as many sidebars as you like.

3. Fill in the title if you wish a title to appear over the widget's content when you visit the site. Leave it blank if you do not want a title. Paste your HTML code into the bottom input field of the 'Text' widget. Check that the checkbox at the bottom is not checked, because automatic paragraphs will interfere with your HTML code. Click the 'Save' button to update the widget with your new content.
