How to make money at APSense.

This is the first thing many new members ask right after joining.

Do I have the magical answer? Am I the Harry Potter of APSense? I wish I was. But I am just a regular member like you. I happen to be involved in projects at APSense here and because I am the biggest APSense maniac.

So, what is my answer to the question: "How do we make money at APSense?"

First of all, let me reassure you, I have made money at APSense. Enough to quit my day job? No. Not yet anyway. How have I made money? How can YOU make money? Here are a list of things you can do:
  • Write articles ( please make them informative and put one sales link in it, you will brand yourself better )
  • Write RevPages ( same advice as for articles )
  • Use the APSense Traffix TE
  • Publish an eZine
  • Create campaigns for your products, services, programs
  • Put your URLs in groups that allow you to do so

These are the shortcuts, i.e. the ways to make money in the next few days. It probably won't pay the rent, but done right, you can get some results.

One more NEW way is to join campaigns at Team Promote. Or, even better, CREATE campaigns to advertise a product that has you excited. :)

Let me now talk about the not so fast ways to make money at APSense. 2 words:

Build Relationships

Oh no. Not that. But it takes time. Why can't I make a small fortune in 30 days? APSense is so popular, there are so many members...

Yes. True. And what do all these members want? Same thing as you: make money by getting attention to products/services/programs/themselves.

Throwing links at everyone and their mother won't cut it. Not for long anyway. Most people will label you a spammer and ignore you. For a simple reason. Imagine if we all threw links at each other in every private message, comments in articles, posts in the APSense.me Live Stream, etc... It can't work because of a human weakness we all have:

Limited Attention Span

We are all bombarded with information from so many directions, not just APSense, but from TV, other sites, radio, friends, colleagues...

Who do we believe? Who do we trust?

Building relationships and trust takes time. How can we proceed? Well, we have:
  • Private messages
  • Comments that add value
  • Helping each other
Articles, RevPages, groups, the APSense.Me Live Stream, the communities, the business pages, all these used correctly can help us.

Think about it. A business is not a hobby. It takes time to have it be sustainable.

Share your thoughts on this, let me know what you think.
