Earn a Sideline Income from your Website
If you have your own website - and in my view every writer should - here's an opportunity to earn a little extra from it.
I should say at once that this opportunity, Money4Banners, does not require any financial outlay. Rather, you are required to place three small advertising banners on three different pages of your website. In practice that just means copying and pasting a bit of code supplied by Money4Banners into your website HTML.
Assuming your site is approved - and it almost certainly will be - you will then receive a fee of 10 UK pounds ($20 US) on acceptance, and 5 UK pounds ($10 US) every month for as long as you keep the ads running. Payments can be taken either in cash (via Paypal) or in Amazon vouchers.
I admit five pounds a month might not sound a fortune, but that's 60 pounds a year, every year, that you wouldn't otherwise have. I've been a member of the program run by Money4Banners' parent company for over two years now, so I can testify that it really is that easy, and you really do get paid. You can see a sample of the sort of ads they use on the homepage of my anti-spam website (it's the insurance ad about half-way down).
OK, if you don't have a website or you faint at the sight of HTML, this opportunity might not be for you. But if you have a site and don't mind adding a few extra banners - in locations of your own choice - this scheme could cover all your hosting costs and a bit more besides.
By the way, I asked and was told that the Money4Banners scheme is available to anyone, anywhere in the world.
P.S. If you don't yet have your own website, I highly recommend The Newbie Club First Website Builder, which will show you everything you need to know to build a professional-looking site using free tools.

Try this one as well to make moeny from a site:
Matched.co.uk, a site that matches advertisers with publishers, launched in August and is a great way for advertisers to get their name out there and for publishers to make money through placing ads on their sites.
Matched has been up and running for over a month now and already Publishers are reaping the benefits.
Publishers receive a £5 sign up bonus plus £3 per month for each ad they place on their site. Matched.co.uk also has an affiliate scheme, offering publishers a £5 bonus for each friend they introduce.
Hi Nick,
I've recently been looking into the idea of placing ads, etc. on my blogs but I don't want to help promote certain kinds of companies and activities.
Do you know whether Money4Banners allows you any kind of control over which ads they place?
I've just posted a similar query on the very wonderful My Writers Circle forum at http://www.mywriterscircle.com/index.php?topic=10994.new#new

Hi Xerika
I don't really know the answer to this, I'm afraid. Money4Banners list lots of sites they won't accept (gambling, porn, etc.), but say nothing about their own advertisers. Obviously you can see the ad before you put it up, and once it's there it doesn't change (in my experience). I was given ads for an insurance company, which I couldn't see any objection to. You could simply apply to them and see what ads you get before deciding whether to proceed, or you can of course contact M4B with any queries via their website.
Hope this helps!
Well, I think that it's a good opportunity to earn money for those who really want to do it. It is one of different ways of earning money.
Hi Nick,
Just been hyperspaced here via your excellent newsletter. Two quick questions, is this a licence to print money albeit in very small amounts? Say set up 10 static websites via Mr Site, at around £30 a pop, adding Money4Banners to them all and pocketing 70 per year, so say £400 return in a year? Can't find anything on their basic site about multiple websites.
What I did find on their site is that if you refer people who then use the application you get £10 in Amazon vouchers, don't know how much trade this blog post will create but still worth getting those Amazon vouchers!
This is Ian, by the way, have just set up a single parenting blog on blogger, hence the id tag.
Hi Ian
Great to "see" you here! I did try what you're suggesting, but was turned down. As far as I can see, they will only accept one site per person, though I'd guess there might be ways around that if you're determined enough.
And yes, you get bonuses if you refer others as well. Again, you can take these either in cash or Amazon vouchers (the latter being my personal preference).
Just asking, is this banner program still paying?is it not scam yet?thanks b4
Well, I'm still being paid every month, and have been for the last two years, so I don't think it's a scam. Anyone who's joined more recently - perhaps as a result of this post - care to share their experiences?
You guys should really try adbrite to make money. I think they're even better than adsense and they do send you your money. you can make about 200$ a day if you really work on it and have a good strategy.
