Youlikehits.com - a Fun Source for Traffic?

-


Whilst wading through the flotsam and jetsam of "make money on the internet" videos on YouTube, I stumbled across one, ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az40wFyaf_k ) that introduced me to a site I had never heard of, namely youlikehits.com .  

The idea behind this website is that you acquire "points" for viewing other people's websites, or retweeting one of their twitter posts, and then in return, you can use your points to "pay" other people to view your website, or retweet one of your twits.  ("Tweet", "Twit", "Twitter, Twitter"  -  I feel like I'm speaking to Tweety Bird!)  Ideally it's a great way to get some free traffic.

Realistically I'm not sure how valuable the views or retweets you receive will be, (for all I know this site is infested with bots), but it's kinda fun, and I view "making money on the internet" these days as more of a form of entertainment than a serious profession. 

So I dusted off my long neglected twitter account, and created this tweet: https://twitter.com/PhinPhred/status/1286453845959282688 .  Yes, it's a promotion of the "State Bird (Mosquito)" T-shirts I've been attempting to sell via Teespring.   We'll see if sales of these T-shirts increases now.  (I'm not holding my breath!)

Speaking of those T-shirts, I logged into my Teespring account for the first time in a long, long time today, and "Surprise!", I had sold more of the T-shirts than I thought.  My total, all-time profit is still just a bit over $60.00, but it makes me wonder what results I would of had if I had put more effort into marketing.  (And, to be honest, if I had even the tiniest bit of marketing competence.)

So it is true that money can be make on the internet, and that you too, whoever YOU are, can make money online.  Just don't expect it to change your standard of living without a lot of patience, and a lot of hard work.


Yes, boys and girls, this is another post filled with affiliate links.  As an added treat, here are some surprise links:  link1, link2, link3.

Phooey on Making Money Online!!

  Well poop!  With the latest make-money-online fiasco, (coinpot.co turned out, after two years, to be a scam), I've pretty much given up on all these "instant online riches".  Yeah, if I had listened to my own advice , I'd be better off.  But no one has ever accused me of NOT being hard headed.  (Hey, wanna buy some really cool mosquito t-shirts? ) Since the goal of raking in vast globs of wealth via this blog seem to be nothing more than an illusion, the question arises: what the heck should I do with it? Well ...... just because I absolutely SUCK at all forms of sales and salesmanship, doesn't mean I can't use the internet to increase my wealth.  I'll just have to stick to investing, (or speculating, as the case may be). Another blog on investing?  Ugh.  Listen, just buy a good, low cost mutual fund, (most Vanguard funds are safe choices), and use dollar cost averaging to add to your investments.  Do this faithfully, and you'll eventually be wealthy

Play it Safe, or Shoot for the Moon

One of the dilemmas anyone attempting to make money online will eventually face is whether to play it safe, and make a guaranteed, but tiny amount, or go for the big payout, with the risk of earning absolutely nothing. " Slow but steady " may indeed win the race, but if your income is only pennies a day, I don't see how you can't help but be overwhelmed by expenses. At this point I feel obligated to point out that the prudent path in life is to acquire a skill or three people are willing to pay big money for, (said skills are often difficult and time consuming to learn), and then WORK HARD AND LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS .  Ideally then your income will exceed your expenses, and you can blow the excess on wild living place any leftover loot in the stable investments of your choice.  Like they say, it's not rocket surgery .  However, this is a blog about making "easy" online money , so we'll just ignore that sage advice. So you majored in Art Appreciatio

Brief Recap - Novice Affiliate, and a History of Failure

-
The purpose of this blog is to test a few of the multitude of " Get Rich Quick! " schemes on the unholy-tube , and see if just maybe any of them will actually generate a buck or two.  However, before launching face first into this fool's errand, we thought it might be wise to give a quick summary of our " success " generating online income to date. Years ago we managed to snag the fantastic title, " Novice Affiliate " for our fledgling channel.  If you look at our videos , (a sometimes painful task!), you'll discover that we really have NOT done all that well. We did have an Amazon based tea store, using a method we learned about from Franklin Hatchett .  That store was slowly building up a customer base, when the poop heads at Bluehost accused us of introducing viruses onto their servers, and yanked our webpages.  (Beware of ANYONE trying to get you to signup with Bluehost!!)  With the loss of our online tea store our affiliate income basically d
