Blogrush is a hot, innovated, and easy way of attracting targeted traffic to your blog, therefore increasing readership.

But what is Blogrush?

BlogRush is a syndication network where other related blogs are advertised on your blog while yours is advertised on theirs. It is FREE to join and works on a system of “syndication credits”.

You earn “syndication credits” based on each time your blog loads the Blogrush widget as well as each time any of your referrals (users that signup after clicking the “add your blog posts” link on the widget) loads the widget. You also earn additional credit based on all the activity through 10 generations of referrals. 1 Syndication Credit = having one of your recent blog post titles served inside the widget on another member’s blog.

Here’s the process:

Note: This setup is for a blog using WordPress with a widgets capable theme.

1) Signup for a FREE account at BlogRush. Be sure to choose the most relevant category for your blog. (Business, cooking, hobbies, etc.) This is very important for presenting your readers with relevant article headlines and ensuring your headlines are displayed on corresponding blogs.

2) After registering your blog and providing your feed URL you will be given a code for a widget that you install on your blog.

1. Login to your WordPress admin interface.
2. Go to Presentation then Widgets and create a new Text Widget on your sidebar.
3. Find and click on the small icon in the right hand corner of this new Widget and put the Blogrush code into it.
4. Save your changes. You can move the Widget up or down accordingly.
5. Bingo! You’re done. It may take a little time for Blogrush to display. It has to go through their approval, but that usually happens within 24 hours.

3) After installing Blogrush you’ll need to start actively promoting it. Working on a system of syndication credits, the more bloggers you refer to the Blogrush network the more credits you get. More credits from blog traffic and your referrals’ traffic means a tremendous amount of exposure for your blog!

4) Be sure to create headlines for your posts that make people want to click! These headlines (and only the headlines) will show up on the Bogrush widget. This is your chance to get readers to your blog.

Question:
What is usally the first thing that catches your attention when reading an article or scanning a sales page?

Answer:
The Headline – of course!

I would dare say that most columnist, internet marketers, and authors would probably agree. A headline that yanks your eyes to it and seduces you into reading the copy is worth its weight in gold!

You can have one helluva good article written, but if your headline is boring chances are your article won’t get read.

Well here’s a FREE tool that let’s you analyze your headline by calculating its Emotional Marketing Value (EMV).

According to Advance Marketing Institute, creating headlines with high EMV reaches your reader at an emotional level. Invoking their deeper thoughts and getting them involved in your copy.

Being able to create headlines, that get your articles read, is a skill not all of us are born with. Using this tool will help you mix and match combinations of words that will provide the right emotional balance.

Take a look at the screen shot below. I’ve managed to create a headline for this post with a good score of 37.5%. Take a look though at the bottom of the picture where it says “perfect balance”!

After playing around with the EMV tool for a while I came up with what appears to be an above average title for my “Free Targeted Traffic to Your Blog!” post. Does this mean I’m a professional headline creator? Well, not quite, but it’s still pretty cool!
Tip: Try using words like Hot and Free. They usually score pretty high on one or two of the three EMV levels. Can you think of any more?

Here’s a slick video from Jim Cockrum.

If you’ve never heard of Jim Cockrum then you must be living under a rock - just kiddin’.

Jim is a pro eBayer and the author of the best selling ebook “The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay“.

I bought the book about three years ago when it contained about 50 pages, now its up over 100 pages. When you purchase this book not only do you get great information you can actually use, you also get free updates!

Lately Jim has been commenting on the profit potential of using eBay’s classified ads to drive traffic from eBay to your own website.

So without being redundant go ahead and watch the video and let me know what you think.

What did you think? To me it gets the ol’ creative juices flowing!

Online surveys, can you really make money from taking them? Simply put, yes.

I’m sure by now you’ve probably been exposed one way or another to the survey craze. It’s every where you look. You get bombarded with emails from people wanting you to join some survey program promising you big bucks. Well here’s a news flash…

You’re NOT going to get rich filling out surveys!

But, when done right you can make some money or win some prizes. The money can be good, but don’t quit your day job in hopes of making a full time living from it. Don’t fall victim to the hype of making hundreds of dollars per hour or thousands of dollars per week/month.

The right way to make some extra cash is to sign up for as many legitimate surveys as you can, participate if you qualify, then collect payment or hopefully win a prize.

Surveys can come in a variety depending on the company you sign up with. There are online surveys, surveys that pertain to watching video trailers, taste tests, product use and evaluation, and more.

Here’s the tactic:

When you sign up for surveys plan on getting a lot of emails from companies. It’s the nature of the game. I would suggest not giving out your primary email address to keep it from getting over loaded with emails.

Instead sign up for one or maybe even two free yahoo accounts. Go to http://www.yahoo.com , find where it says email, click on it and follow where it says sign up for a free email account.

Sign up for Surveys:

To really get a feel for survey taking I’ve included a sample of survey sites. Choose as many sites a you want and give it a try.

Get the free site samples here. FREE Survey Site Samples.

The surveys are based on your age, sex, hobbies and demographics. Basically all you need for filling out surveys is a little time and an opinion.

If you find you like filling out surveys and have made some money from them then I would highly recommend joining SurveyScout.

I joined SurveyScout awhile back and have actually made some money - around $75.00. Due to my other online ventures I don’t participate as much any more.

SurveyScout has a large database and the site is nice and easy to navigate.

You can join here:SurveyScout. Yes, this is an affiliate link, but it is a product I’ve actually used and profit from. In my opinon they are the best.

Give it a try. Make some money and have fun! You’ll see the fun really comes when you start collecting some checks.
