Making money from Social Networking (Orkut)

Lets learn how to make quick money using any social networking website. In this example I have taken Orkut.

Introduction

With the launch of social networking websites more and more people are getting online. The best part of a social networking website is we find lots of people with similar interest at the same place. We will take this for our advantage. You can call this method as spamming, but I call it a quick method to make money. Even though I have never used to method myself, but thought it might be helpful to starters. If you have already been in Orkut you will know how much it is spammed.

Get an account

It is time you sign up for an Orkut account, remember to choose the gender as Female. Choose your age no more than 25, choose a decent name. Once you are done creating you account, it’s time to add friends. Before you start adding it is very important to choose your niche. The choice of niche is completely dependent on you, but don’t choose a serious niche for Social Networking website as most of the kids are way too “cool” for your niche. Choose a niche like Bollywood news, Wallpapers of some actress or anything for that matter. Now depending on your niche, search for the communities and start adding friends. Add as many as you can, guys will never reject your friends request . We are done with our part of selecting a niche and selecting the target audience.

Build a Landing Page

It is time to take them to place where we want them to go. The page where we will take them is called as the landing page. A landing page is a highly targeted web page made specifically for target audience. Now the obvious question is how to make a landing page? If you already have some basics knowledge of web designing you can go ahead and create a web page, if you are still uncomfortable drawing your layout but can mange editing the html codes then I recommend you download a free template from these websites OSWD, Six Shooter Media I recommend you to use Six Shooter Media templates because they fit our purpose better. I have downloaded this template(Godetia). If you have absolutely no knowledge of HTML, I recommend that you learn some HTML before getting started. Now it’s time to choose the product we want to promote. I chose to promote is Trendy.in .To get the contents for the page, I get it from wikipedia.org. Once contents go in, I add my referral codes and start promoting it.

Promoting your Landing Page

This is the most important phase in your quest to earn money. We had signed up in Orkut and made friends with similar taste. The niche I chose here is Trend, fashion. A very happening niche for young people. Now I will go ahead and send my landing page to all my friends and the chance of them checking the landing page and signing it up is very high. We can also motivate them to promote our landing page to there friends. More people sign up, I earn more. If you planning to promote your landing webpage seriously I consider you register a domain name and buy some server space ( You can contact me, I can provide you server space at competitive prices ).

Conclusion

Now you would have got an overall idea on how to go about making a referral website and earn some money promoting your advertiser. By using this method you won’t be rich in a day or two. You will need a network of such websites to earn your decent amount of money.
