So, as of this moment, paid text links via Text-Link-Ads.com account for over $70 of the monthly revenue my websites bring in. Not bad, considering I have no involvement in the sale of those links, nor does it require any effort on my part to maintain those links each month.

Here’s a brief history of my involvement with Text-Link-Ads:

• April 12th, 2007: I had just recently signed up for Text-Link-Ads and was now making about $20/month from the service.
• September 3rd, 2007: A few months later, I was at $40/month from Text-Link-Ads.
• October 4th, 2007: One month later, another sale took me to $45/month.
• April 28th, 2008: Present day, and over the course of the last half year, monthly revenue from Text-Link-Ads.com has increased to over $70/month

Aside from the blog posts I’ve linked to above, I’ve spent no time promoting the service or attempting to sell links. Text-Link-Ads.com does that for me through their internal directory of websites that they provide Publishers access to. Essentially, I just sit back and wait for another email from Text-Link-Ads.com, notifying me that I’ve sold another link, adding to my monthly haul.

If you’re interested in trying out Text-Link-Ads, sign your website or blog up through this link. (Here’s the non-affiliate link if you’d prefer a clean entry into the site.)

Enjoy.

Back in September, I signed up for DealDotCom, mostly on a whim to see if I could make any money selling their products.  Well, I’m now making ~$30/month from DealDotCom and I haven’t even sold one product!

How? Easy, their affiliate program which pays out at a whopping 35%! (Read more about their affiliate program in my initial blog post on DealDotCom.)

So, I signed up in September, and by January my affiliates were finally starting to sell products (and making money)! Of course, because they were making money, so was I. And there’s no sign of this income stream slowing down anytime soon.

Anyway, if you’re interested in making some money yourself from DealDotCom, give it a shot. Sign up for the service, try advertising a couple of their daily deals, then write a blog post of your experience. If you’re lucky, you’ll refer someone through your blog post to DealDotCom and make money in the same way I did! I seriously invested only a few minutes writing my initial review of the service and no time actually selling products, and here I am supplementing my AdSense income by more than $30 each month. (If you find this tip helpful, consider signing up through my referral link, or use this plain-old link to DealDotCom.)
