Making money online – It’s a numbers game

How can you make a living online when you see numbers like $0.02 on referral sites and other similar deals? Let’s take Hits4Pay as an example.

Hits4Pay is a website that you can join that will pay you’re a share of their advertising revenue when you read e-mails from their advertisers.  Now, that sounds like a pretty good deal. All you’ve got do is click on the emails, stay on the advertiser's site for a minute or so and Hits4Pay credits your account with $0.02

They send me, on average, 6-8 emails per day and it takes me no more than ten minutes or so to read the Hits4Pay advertisements. So that’s, let’s be conservative, 6 X $0.02 = $0.12 per day.

I can’t live off that! I hear you cry. But hold on, that’s £3.65 per month for doing virtually nothing, for ten minutes a day. So, whichever way you play around with the figures, this alone is not going to pay your bills.

The real power of this type of scheme is the referrals though. AT Hits4Pay, they will also pay you $0.01 for every email read by every person who you refer to them, and, they will pay you the same for every 2nd level person that is recruited under that.

So, let’s say that you place a banner ad at the top of your blog or website and, over time, one thousand people register with Hits4Pay and they are registered under your affiliate link. And then let’s say that each of those 1,000 people gets just ten of their friends to register too.

That means that you would earn ((1,000 X $0.01) + (10,000 X $0.01)) * 6 or a total of $110, every time that Hits4Pay send out six emails. That could be $3,300 per month for doing absolutely nothing!

Now, this blog is not about making false claims or setting unrealistic expectations, so let’s be honest here.  There is no guarantee that Hits4Pay is going to send emails every day, there is no guarantee that you will be able to refer 1,000 people easily and there is no guarantee that even if you do, those people will actually follow through and read the e-mails.

Having said that, this would be only one of the many different strings, to your online money making bows, it costs nothing to join, and in time, you will be earning money from it.

Basically, it’s a no lose situation and just one of the ways to begin to earn a living online. As your online presence grows with blogs, websites and other platforms, you will be able to advertise this and many other opportunities to more and more people. On the internet, you are always thinking about what may appear to be low individual margins or earnings but with a potentially very high volume.



As I said, it’s a numbers game and you have to start somewhere!
