Thoughts on social networking

Social Networking Advice

I want to give some advise on social networking.

On those sites that allow you to place google adsense, you want to do what you can do to increase your earnings.  On Lazzeo you can place 3 standard ad units, 3 link units, 2 search boxes and one video unit.

Take the time to fill in your content boxes.  If you do not add anythng, you are limiting your earning potential if you intend to make any money with google adsense.

Remember this is your personal website and not a "bandwidth stealing profile page".  Therefore, adding banners, music players, videos, etc is nice but slows the load time and most people will not wait for your page to load.

Do not advertise your referral link.  Advertise your profile link. By doing this you are not limiting yourself to just those who are looking to join a social network, rather giving them other options they might want to join.

Below is a partial list of the free social networks that I belong to.  This list will be constantly updated.  It is impossible for me to visit each one each day.  I personally believe the key is not to see how many friends you can accumulate (although that is important)  but a well designed profile page. 

(a) Myviewwin Open an account and get $5 instantly added to your account. You can make money on this website by joining, updating your profile frequently and especially referring other members. They give you points each time a user is viewing your profile, photos, videos, music, blog, groups, etc. At the end of the month these points are transferrd into money.

(b)YuwieYou get paid based on your number of page views. 

(c)Impeers    This site has a google adsense revenue sharing component where you earn a portion of what the site earns.

(d)6dgr  There are two one time payments for signups and a third residual component in which you get a percent (from .125% to 2.00 % of whatever your referral tree spends out of the checking account attached to 6dgr.

(e)Apsense You will Get Paid when Apsense displays "Ads by Google" and "Ads by Apsense" advertisements on content pages that belong to you and people in your network.  So the more business centers you have and the people in your network have, then the more money you make. 

(f)Big Crumbs This is a social networking site with a twist.  You make money on your purchases and the purchases of those in your downline.  In essence you are getting a rebate.  The big one is ebay where you get a rebate of 36% of your fees and 4% of your referrals' fees on ebay.

(g)Bizpreneur Sister site of Lazzeo.  You earn money by placing ads on your profile(Google Adsense, Yahoo,AdBrite, etc.) Plus refer new members and earn $1.00 for each one!

(h)Hubpages.  This is another social networking site that allows you to earn money by placing ads on your profile.  These ads are already placed for you (all you do is input your id number) and they are from google adsense and kontera. The beauty of this social network is that these ads are on every page you create, unlike some of the other google adsense networks.   To sign up go to the sign in section.

(i)Flixya This is another social networking site that allows you to earn from google adsense ads placed on page you publish including all your blogs.

(j)Lazzeo Sister site of Bixpreneur.  You earn money by placing ads on your profile(Google Adsense, Yahoo,AdBrite, etc.) Plus refer new members and earn $1.00 for each one!

(k)Hub Pages This site allows you to earn from google adsense ads placed on pages you publish including all your blogs.
