About the most asked question: how can I earn from APSense

by Paula van Dun TE Owner & Graphic Designer
How to earn form the affiliate program of the Business Network APSense?
As I have written in other articles, it all starts with branding yourself by contributing in a positive way. If you have no business of your own find a legitimate opportunity, preferable a niche you have affinity with and where you know something about. Write and publish your own content about your niche and related niches. Share your own content but also content from other members to build connections. Be selective in what you share and who you endorse because these actions reflect on your profile. A well set up profile will help you get sales and valuable connections. In my opinion the best way to earn from APSense is indirectly by promoting your own business. Are there good other ways to earn from APSense?

However above question I read all the time in APSense questions relates to "How to earn money from the APSense Affiliate Program". Would you like to know the answer to that?

The fact is that it is not simple to build an income from APSense alone simply because APSense has 180K members already and many are promoting APSense. Yet it is a good idea to promote APSense because it get more people in your direct network and as a free member you can earn an upgrade for a month if you refer 5. If you are lucky some of them will upgrade which would allow you to pay for your own upgrade at APSense. What is the best way to get referrals in APSense?

To benefit from APSense (This article also applies for networks) you need to gain insight in how APSense works and how all the APSense add-ons work. The beauty of them is that they all work together enforce each other. This may cost you some time to figure this all out but you will see a great improvement when you have and apply this knowledge. However I would like to point out that spending time earning credits for campaigns cost time to and the effects of those are only short term. To gain this insight and learn to apply this I recommend reading APSense Wiki and join existing support groups for several features; you can fin them on this BizOpps Pinboard.
Did you know you can promote you own business, contributions from others and get referrals in APSense at the same time?

This are 2 very simple ways to do this and it requires only a bit more effort than sharing automatically.

Method 1: use the APSense URL Shortner

Method 2: extended affiliate link

Take a look at this graphic:




This way you can share any content on APSense and embed you affiliate url. If you are sharing content form other members it is the polite thing to ask the poster of this content first if he/she has no objections. I used links created this way in this article also.

Specifically to gain referrals for APSense you could think of writing about APSense features, or an APSense group. Ok, so now you have created an extended referral link. What next?

  • Write a short introduction in the live feed or in an APsense group and as link use the extended referral link. Check the linkboxes before you share. Make sure your share settings on APSense are up to date
  • Find or create a suitable graphic to illustrate where the post is about. Post this graphic on pinboards like Pinterest, PinOpps and others.

Although this article was written specifically for APSense, it also applies for many other other networks. For any network you join I can only recommend to take time to explore the features and how they work together.

Very informative and honest post about making money with Apsense. I have never used the "extended" Apsense referral URL but I will in the future.

Very well said Paula, I like it! So many ways to get referrals it could fill a few thousand ebooks, oh wait! LOL! The extended URL is brilliant. Must give that a good run and see what happens! RE: upgrade, in comparison, I feel Apsense is the most affordable of them all and it pays well without complication. Some costs and pay plans are plain NUTZ! :-)

Paula..your reference to personal branding and niche marketing are to be well observed by many as the technology and drive of marketing online will be about the stayers with foundation...and not what was once the norm.
I will add that Apsense as I have stated so many times is a powerful marketing tool and it has proven itself by lending page#1 search results back to my profile for certain keywords... Apsense has Alexa Page rank...so get your seo to work for you... piggybacking a great tool people...work those articles and reviews

Thanks for all your comments. The great thing about it is that free members can do all these things. I believe they can even earn an upgrade if they refer 5 people in a month. The methods I described take some time but so does earning credits. Although a credit campaign is great for promoting a special offer or event the effects are short term in most cases.

Very good info here, Thanks Paula.
P.S. I am curious to know more about the advertising space on Apsense pages as I recently read in an email that free members earn from their advertising space from within their own Apsense pages. Thanks for the hint on APSense Wiki.

You can use html in your ABC in additional info. I.e. you can put a banner ad or banner code there. Upgraded members can also post user ads. they show i.e. next to your articles
