What makes an ad eye catching

Take a look at the above advert. What makes it so good? It's eye catching, fast paced, exciting and makes sense. There's no doubt about it Honda makes good adverts.

The above advert is for a Honda Accord a well known brand of car famed for it's high quality.

The advert's catch phrase is Difficult is worth doing and explains how they are always trying to push the design of the car to get better and better - It's a phrase that could refer to us bloggers as well.
They see problems as challenges and enjoy beating them – there is a solution for all problems it’s just finding them that is the issue.
Most of us could learn from Honda’s adverts, it’s about being relevant, clever and memorable.

Level 3 - Social Spark - Blog Sponsorship

As you may have noticed I'm trying some blog sponsorship, which was an opportunity through Social Spark.

The first time you visit the site you will see a large advert but after that you should just see a small advert bar along the bottom of the screen - Initially I'm trying it for 5 days and then I'll post my thoughts

Social Spark is run by the same people as Pay Per Post, and they offer a fair amount of blog sponsorship and Sponsored Post opportunities - I'll let you know more about them after I've tested them for a bit longer.

What's hot on the net - Wednesday 23/04/08

The Internet is massive and has something to appeal for everyone, but what are the masses looking at one the web.

Google trends is a tool which displays the hottest searches currently on the net.
I became aware of Trends thanks to this brilliant post over at Mikes Money making mission.

Current hot on Google is Palmyra Islands. There are currently 12 people stuck on the Islands due to Plane Trouble.

The Islands are ~1000 miles southwest of Hawaii and has a special coral runway so a special plane is needed to help them.

The island does have huts so no-one is in danger, but they should be rescued soon.

Level 1 - ReviewStream.com - Get paid for writing simple reviews

Reviewstream is a great site that I came across very recently.
On this site you can write a review about absolutely anything you want and get paid for it whether you like the product or not.

Just write a review and submit it - and it doesn't have to be a masterpiece either - as long as you use relatively good English your review can be quite short.
Click here to see one of my reviews

You can see that it's not a masterpiece but it earned me 40cents and it only took 5 mins, with a little more time you can earn up to $2 per review.

With a little time you could earn good money using Reviewstream, imagine if you only write 5 reviews a day, for 5 days of the week, then that's $50 a week or $2600 per year.

Click here to Visit ReviewStream

Level 1 - SlashMySearch - get paid for setting your home page

SlashMySearch was one of my first earners, and it's so easy to use that until recently I almost forgot that I was still using it.

To use SlashMySearch you set their portal site as your home page so that it displays each time you launch your Internet Browser. Their site displays Ad's and they pass on a percentage of the revenue onto you, so you get paid for simply using their site.

They provide several facilities for you to use including a collection of the latest news headlines and a decent search engine.

So instead of using Google or Yahoo as your search engine try SlashMySearch and get paid for it.

Level 1 - CentSports - Sponsored Betting

We all know that gambling and betting is risky business, and I will never recommend that anyone ever takes them up as a source of income - It's dangerous and addictive.

This site is different - YOU CAN NOT USE YOUR OWN MONEY. It's impossible for you to transfer any money from your bank account to this site. However you can withdraw any money that you win (after you balance is greater then $10).

So how does it work.
When you first join the site they give you 10cents just for joining (paid for by advertisers), they have a sports book and you can bet on any event in the book. If you win the winnings are added to your balance.

So what happens if you lose?
When ever your balance is $0 they give you another 10cents and you start again.

I know 10cents doesn't sound like a lot but with a few well placed bets it soon adds up.

In addition - when you place a bet you are given the opportunity to watch and comment on a commercial, if you accept the opportunity then your betting stake is gambling

CentSports will never make you rich BUT it is just a bit of fun, and whilst it will never cost you anything to enter you stand the chance of making a little extra pocket money

To join CentSports click here.

Level 3 - dNerro Social Surveys - get paid to share your opinions

You don’t even have to write long posts - some posts are as short as 50 words.

If you have blog that is at least 3 months old then it’s definitely worth signing up. This has been a big earner for me.
