Make More Money online for FREE !!!

This week's resources/tools/websites which you can use to build your business are really wonderful...They include a few revenue sharing websites, a couple of FREE tools that you can use while you're drafting up your killer articles or posts, for your new online internet marketing business, a banging membership site that you will find to be invaluable for building your online marketing business and a tool that will help you track your social media marketing efforts...All in all, I am hoping that not only will this weekly update of FREEBIE must-haves will not only help you not only make more money online, but also help you to build a true residual passive income online...

The first three finds for this week are terrific for developing your content in your article marketing empire... Numbers 4, 5 and 8 are some of the best revenue sharing websites around...So, without further ado here's the "Top 8 List" for this week...


1) Before you begin writing your article or posts or even before you begin a new niche marketing venture, you must know what the keywords are that will pay you more money or convert your traffic from browsers to customers...That's where The Keyword Academy comes in...Even though the membership is reasonably priced, they offer you a FREE 30-Day trial of their system...They truly are teaching people how to make money online...The Keyword Academy provides a checklist for your first 100 hours of work with their blueprint system... The "First 100 HOurs" is what you will use to succeed at selecting keywords and building websites for your targeted niche...Their goal is to help as many people as they can to earn $1000 per month...Will you be next???...

2) The Google AdWords Tool is FREE to use, but you will need to sign up for a FREE account...The Keyword Academy  will teach you how to use this tool to select the keywords and keyword phrases that will help you make more money online...

3) FREE Word and Character Counter:  Just copy and paste your draft post or article into this tool from notepad and click either the "calculate words" or "calculate characters" button to find out if you have reached your goal...FYI, it is typically recommended to have your article lengths be at least 400-500 words long...

4) Best-Reviewer.com is one of the coolest AdSense revenue sharing websites around...James Colin has come up with a true gem with this one...You simply come up with your top ten (or so) list of things that you want to talk about and write a quick article about it...It is genius because from what I understand Google and perhaps the other search engines LOVE "Top Lists"...So you can expect a lot of traffic coming to Best-Reviewer.com for no other reason than this...So you just have to be crafty in selecting your topic or niche that you want to talk about and then be even more selective in choosing the right keywords and keyword phrases to get noticed by the search engines, to get more traffic and hence earn more money through ads on your "Top List"... So now just spring back up to the number one resource for this week for more on choosing the best keywords...

5) YouSayToo is really the best thing that's happened to my blogs this week, because just as they say it has increased traffic to my blogs...You consolidate your blogs there and you get more exposure and more money through revenue sharing from AdSense and Amazon Associates to boot...The best part for me is that I didn't have to go there and come up with new original content for YouSayToo, they just automatically feed directly from my blogs all the new posts as soon as they are published...Isn't that cool?...

6) Get your FREE Amazon Associates affiliate account here...Not only can you earn money through revenue sharing sites like InfoBarrel and YouSayToo, but you can build out your own stores and pick and choose to sell anything from the vast selection of products that are available on Amazon.com including: books, DVDs, toys, electronics, kitchen tools, food and spices, jewelry and much, much more...

7) Bitly is a great little tool that you will use for Twitter or anywhere that you like, and the basic account is FREE to use...It's easy to use too...You just sign up for your FREE account and then paste your long URLs into the box that says "Shorten your links and share from here" and then click the "Shorten" button...And then not only will your URL be shortened, but it will also be logged into your history link list where it will be tracked so that you will know exactly how many times it was clicked...It's convenient to use this tool to shorten your URL for the Twitter service because they only allow 140 characters...

8) Squidoo...need I say more...Well, I actually did already and if you missed it go here...


And that's a wrap for this week's Top 8 Business Building FREEBIES...Come back next week for another list of the top business building freebies...Have fun and make more money online with Shelley!!!
