Earning Money Online In Pakistan Is Difficult

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Today I though of doing a post for my fellows Pakistanis out there. While you might be thinking that why I did not mention some other country or better yet, the whole world. The reason is simple, earning money in Pakistan is more tougher than earning money if you were in a country like the U.S or Canada.

Don’t get scared. I’m not saying that it is impossible. There are still loads of ways to make money online in Pakistan. I’ve already touched a lot of parts on how to make money. I’m just going to be briefing a bit about how different it is in Pakistan and how you can overcome those problems.

I remember how frustrated I used to be when I started off with making money. My initial strategies also included trying to sell stuff at eBay. Unlucky me, you need paypal for a good functional eBay account and paypal doesn’t offer services in Pakistan, which is pretty much messed up. :(

The bad thing is, eBay does not make use of any alternative to paypal. Which means if you’re in a country like Pakistan, you’re absolutely left out. In the coming days I’ll be writing about these issues and more on how you can earn money online if you live in Pakistan (like me, :D).

I’ll be talking about eBay, paypal, adsense, any other request I get or anything else I can think of. After all, Pakistan is a great place to live. Many people might disagree with me on this because of the recent security issues here but it sure is and I will teach you how to earn money from this country of ours. :)

Beginner Blogging Mistakes - Promoting For No Reason

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Back in 2007 when I started off as a blogger, I was totally off-track. As you might already know that I started off making money on the internet with paid to click websites. Yes, what a waste of time. But since I was quite enthusiastic about making money back then, I wanted to create a blog to promote my referral links.

In paid to click websites, you look for referrals who can come, click ads and make money for you forever. Since posting a whole bunch of links at places to let people know about it was kind of a tedious job, instead I created a blog, filled it with reviews and my referral links and then promoted the blog instead.

My initial aim was to get visitors to it and then have them to sign up for the paid to click website. It wasn’t long until blogger disabled my account with all of the blogs including the one I was using to promote the referral links. However, I was doing that for a reason, I was actually making money by the efforts that I put into getting visitors to the blog.

These days, I see a bunch of fully seo loaded blogs with no ads. The thing is, there is no point in doing SEO on a blog if you don’t have intentions of making money from it. Straight up. Unless you have other aims for the blog.

This thing gets even more emphasis when your main source of traffic is referral traffic. You can always play around with organic traffic because you know that more will be coming later on and you aren’t really losing a lot of money in the long run.

But usually the referral traffic comes and goes. You don’t have a chance of them returning or more of them coming in to your website after you’ve done the promotion. In that case, it is complete nonsense to have no monetisation on your blog which completely makes it promoting for no reason.

The most widely know fact is: Traffic is money. However, you need to learn how to convert that traffic into money else you’ll end up in the blues with no money and probably a loss in form of hosting fees.

My advice to all new bloggers is that: Monetize your blog from day one! There is no harm, I repeat, no harm whatsoever from monetizing a blog. If you think it will discourage visitors, no it wouldn’t. If that was the case, Google wouldn’t have been the number one search engine. There are thousands of other search engines without advertisements.

It will have no impact on your SEO. Why it will have no effect on your SEO is because Google will always be in benefit if you have adsense on your blog. Since, when Google sends traffic to your website, it clicks the adsense ad. Not only do you get paid but Google gets paid as well. I know this theory sounds totally absurd but it was just to diversify your minds from not monetizing a new website. So yeah, you can laugh! ;-)

Big Earners Don’t Look For A Consistent Income

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Ever since I started making money online, I only looked into ways that could actually promise me a good amount of money on a consistent basis. This excluded all ways that could not make money for me on a consistent basis. For example, many times I have refused web deisnging projects just because I think this is a work that would not promise me a consistent income.

The fact is, there is hardly a chance that you actually build a consistent income. The way I built consistent income was by creating a team of website including this one. There is an average amount of money that I make from these websites every month which is quite consistent. It involves a lot less risk.

However, what I learned from a few famous money makers on the internet was that you don’t have to look for a ’set-it-and-forget-it’ kind of system if you want to hit big. In fact, you can hit big cash lots of time and actually make those ‘big hits’ consistent.

One thing that has been bothering my mind for a while is PPC. Most of the internet marketers I know of are making deadly profits using this little advertising tool with Google, Facebook and other social networks as well. The biggest thing this involves is: Risk.

Risk is not something that I’d be willing to undertake at this level. Moreover, PPC involves a lot of money. For example, there is a guy Jon who recently made a net profit of $1.6 million in 30 days. This was his come back after a long time.

However, he had totally grossed $2.2 million and the rest $0.6 million was the expenses of PPC or other advertising that he used for making that money. Usually people use offers from CPA networks to publicize on these and then make affiliate commisions per offer completed or per lead generated.

I started with CPA networks a while ago but so far haven’t really gotten the gist of it. I have set up campaigns (not PPC) and tried getting them some traffic but so far have had no luck. This just made this whole PPC craze look a little unachievable for me. However, I intend to learn more about how CPA offers work.

I’m doing a little reading around other blogs and I will also be sharing some good reads that I find on this topic. Meanwhile, if you have any good articles or blogs to share, please let me know about them in the comments. Thanks in advance. :-)

Free Money, Is There Really Such A Thing?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Free money, the name itself is fascinating enough to draw attention. I actually found myself looking for this on Google last week when one of my friends told me about a few clever websites. Well if you’re going to be looking for free money, I’ll save you a few minutes of ‘research’.

There have been stories around of the United States government giving away free money or shall I say money grants for small business owners. This was way back in the late 1990’s and the early 2000’s, to save me some words Business Week already busted this myth back in 2000.

Of course, even if it existed it was only for U.S. citizens and as I checked the most people looking for free money are from India. So they are definitely not looking for free money grants from the government. Maybe they’re just putting out an urge to make money in this way.

Free money

Free money scams are out there. So be careful.

Let me tell you something interesting. When I first got onto the internet on high-speed internet was in mid 2006. There is a different way that everyone puts forward their urge to make money. I used to search ‘earn money’ or ‘earn money on the internet’. So basically, all of the following terms lead to the same thing:

  • Make money online
  • Earn money online
  • Make money on the internet
  • Earn money on the internet
  • How to make money online
  • Ways to make money online

Get the idea? This is because I just happened to check a forum that I used to be active on around 2 years ago. The guy who started it was referring to make money online as making free money.

Now, I don’t challenge their definition to it and I wouldn’t say that this isn’t free money. I might have mentioned it multiple times before but in case you missed it I’ll give you a recap of my earnings on the internet:

  • To date I’ve made $x,xxx with this website.
  • My total expense to make this money was $102 ($5 x 18 for hosting and $6 x 2 for domain)

In this case, although I spent very little money to make the big amount but it really wouldn’t be called free money since I did spend some money to make it. Let me put it this way for a free blog on blogger. I made $210 from in the last three months. As we all know blogger blogs are free, so that in a way could be called free money.

Although you have to put in some effort to get that free money, so you can call it free money, earn money or make money. It’s all the same thing. I know that the whole thing got confusing for the bit and I’ll explain the whole thing in a paragraph below:

Making free money through the internet means that you can use the internet to make money without paying for it. That can be done. You can make money on the internet for free and I already mentioned an example of how it can be done.

So, in case you were looking for ways to make free money online, you can check out the links below that teach how to earn money online:

Furthermore, you can check out the make money on the internet by blogging series. There are tons of other articles that are either directly or indirectly related to making money that can be found on this blog.

I’ve Been Busy, Yet Making Money

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

This is the thing that I love the most about making money on the internet. It is just quite reliable. Unlike normal jobs, this one pays even when you’re not working. Although there are some ways to make money which might stop making money for you as soon as you stop such as surveys but mine works great.

Recently, I’ve been way more than busy with a number of things mainly a major social event at my school. I could hardly use the computer for 15 minutes a day which was obviously only for checking the stats.

After that, I got busy on a few projects I started on the internet. I always have these *awesome ideas* at night. I wake up, get a domain, do hardcore php coding and put the website in place before I catch sleep again. It’s a pity that I lose interest in it the next time I wake up. :(

However, my income has stayed normal. In fact, above the normal. That doesn’t in any way mean that I should stop working but it’s an accomplishment. Meanwhile, I am working on projects that are completely different than my older ones. I’m experimenting and although I haven’t really have had any success till now but hey, it was experimenting in the first place which got me into this ‘make money online’ scenario.

I also noticed that I have been neglecting this blog a lot lately. I always fail to stick to the posting plan I design for 3arn.Net but oh well. I will try to write more for newbies. In fact, if you have any questions that you’d want to be anwered just hit me up a message through the contact page and I might even address that in a post.

For all those wondering about the rest of the contest winners, I mailed the winners directly so you might want to check your mailbox if you participated because you might find a surprise. Although, I sent out the mails around 3 weeks ago. ;)
