Sold Another Photo

Earnings from photo sales this year have been pretty poor. This is probably mostly due to my disasterous 301 redirect From ages back which decimated my Google Image Search Traffic..

Well, at last I have sold another one for £50:-



And I have another very hopeful enquiry in the pipeline.

So, as I have mentioned before, your photos do not have to be technically superb, and taken with very expensive equipment to be 'sellable', so long as you get enough eyes on your photos...

Forget what your parents, your peers and your business professors warned you about pursuing wealth. Regardless of where you came from, you can secure the richness you always dreamed about, and there is indeed a fast track to financial success. Heres living proof of it

Last month, Forbes magazine unveiled its annual list of the world’s billionaires. This year, 793 people made the cut, representing a 566% increase since the magazine’s inaugural billionaire rankings just twenty years ago. The world is getting richer, and each year more individuals are sharing a piece of that coveted pie.

Contrary to popular belief, however, wealth achievement isn’t a matter of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, nor is it a case of rubbing shoulders with the rich or toiling away one’s life in millionaire pursuit. The Millionaire Money System turns such myths topsy-turvy and reveals the true secrets that differentiate the rich from the not-so-rich.

“Forget what your parents, your peers and your business professors warned you about pursuing wealth. Regardless of where you came from, you can secure the richness you always dreamed about, and there is indeed a fast track to financial success. Heres living proof of it,” states creator Gary McGeown.

The good news is, you don’t have to risk bankruptcy or even devote three years of your life to figuring out to become a millionaire, because Gary and the guys at Life Lasting Success has already done it for you. The Millionaire Money System breaks the process down into a formula that is so easy to follow and implement that it comes with a 30-day, no-questions-asked, money-back guaranteed. This dvd series proves once and for all that achieving financial wealth really is just a state of mind.

Making Money (Not just from photos).

Here is an article from a company I am doing some work with at the moment (in my capacity as a Qualified Google Advertising Professional, They do 'Make Money Online Seminars' in Dublin and Ireland :-

Seven Ways to Make One Million Dollars Online:

The Internet can provide you with great money-making opportunities.

Here are seven ways to make you into a millionaire:

1. Google AdSense:
If you own a web site, you can consider participating in the Google AdSense program. You'd simply need to allow Google to place ads on your web site. Every time a person clicks on your web site, you'll be paid a certain commission that can range from $.01 to $100 per click. AdSense will also furnish you with certain advanced tools that can assist you in making higher profits.

2. Blogs
Blog writing is not only an interesting but also a lucrative way to earn money online. Blog writing has become very popular. You can consider writing a blog about your area of interest. Thereafter, you can put your Google ads or affiliate links in your blog. The larger number of people who read your blog, the higher your chances will be of earning commissions.

3. Article Writing:
This is perhaps the smartest way to attract traffic towards a web site. Many web sites look for good writers to create articles based on the content of their web site. You can consider writing articles for such web sites. You can earn approximately $50–$100 per good article.

4. Trading Domain Names:
You can earn a significant amount of money by buying and selling the domain names. You can also park your domain name until you launch your own web site or blog. Based on your hard work and skills, you can earn up to $10,000 per month.

5. Selling:
You can consider selling your old accessories, gadgets, CDs, or clothes on any of the auction web sites existing on the Internet. In this way, you can earn a handsome amount for your belongings that you don't need any more.

6. Participating in Affiliate Programs:
You just need to promote someone else's products or services and get paid for it. The best part is that you don't need a large investment and the commissions can range from 30–50% and above.

7. Creating a Squidoo Lens:
By doing this, you'll get royalties from Google AdSense that are already displayed on the web page. By having a larger number of lenses, you can increase your chances of attracting a high amount of traffic to your web site.

Resource Box:
There are many strategies to making money, but the quickest and most profitable way right now is to make your money on the Internet.

With Life Lasting Success you can discover how to use the Internet and turn your computer into a cash-gushing machine, regardless of how little or how much you know right now. Sign up right now for the FREE online newsletter for Life Lasting Success by visiting http://www.LifeLastingSuccess.com.

Adsense Earnings - November 2009

I finally made the change from US Dollars to UK Pounds.

So, since Adsense is currently refusing to show the exact earnings in Dollars (you should be able to see it from a link on the 'reports' page), I'll have to start showing my earnings in GBP (British/UK Pounds)...

£216.30

For those of you used to US Dollars, I can tell you that is pretty much exactly what I earned the previous month (even though my traffic is up again).

You may also notice that there is an Adsense unit below this blog post, which I have not tried in a long long time, but I'll try it for one month and let you all know how I get on.

October 2009 Adsense Earnings = $364

The upward trend from September did not continue for long - although I got 5% more traffic in October than I got in September overall.

Quantcast

I like QuantCast.



If you get more than a few visitors to your web sites - it is a good way of showing potential advertisers how many eyes they could be in front of...

It also gives you a rough idea of your traffic at a glance, if you can't be bothered to look at your Google Analytics.

But for some reason it was insisting that my Photos Web Site was getting a lot less visitors than it actually was.

Here is a copy of the email from their very helpful support (most recent at the top):-

No, not if they don’t actually arrive at your site. We count the pageview and the traffic toward your “network”, however, since the user is at “images.google.com” in their browser bar, they are only visiting a site that is syndicating your content.



So, in effect, we count it both ways.

Yes - that will be images.google.com, images.google.co.uk etc..

I get a lot of image search traffic.

So while the syndicator may be images.google.com, it should still count as a 'irishviews.com' page view as one of the pages of my web site is actually being viewed?

(This is how Google analytics would show it).

Thanks.

Hi Jordan --



We are seeing Irishviews as your largest site as well -- however, we are seeing a very large amount of traffic showing up in syndicated frames on Google.

Case description:

The number for the 'JMCWD Network' are about right,



But the way they are broken down is completely wrong.



I know that irishviews.com accounts for the vast majority of my traffic - but Quantcast says it is only a minority of traffic...

So, in summary - if you get a lot of people viewing your pages from Google Image Search - then Quantcast counts this traffic as 'Syndicated' traffic rather than direct traffic...

Lucy Starkiller Review

I got an email recently from Jonathan Timar, asking me to review his 'Lucy Starkiller' Photoshop / PSP script.

Here is an excerpt from his email:-

Hi Jordan,

My Name is Jonathan, I run the blog known as "The Limelight", at http://inthelimelight.net. You may remember it, as you have visited a few times and even left a comment or two.

I am also the creator of the Lucy Starkiller Photoshop Action (and Paint Shop Pro script), which is essentially a no plugin required response to the LucisArts/Dave Hill "look" craze. It became quite popular, especially early on when I was actively promoting it, and most users have been very pleased with it.

With that in mind, I was wondering if you would be interested in reviewing it on your blog? .....


Thanks Jordan,
Jonathan Timar

I would just like to start out by saying that I am long time user of Paint Shop Pro (Currently Paint Shop Pro Photo X2), and at the very least, I think it is great that someone is catering for the Paint Shop Pro users amongst us...

Anyway, without further ado, here is the review...

Installation is simple. Just copy the .pspscript files into your 'trusted-scripts' folder on your PC.

Then it is just a matter of running your chosen Lucy Starkiller script as you would any other Paint Shop Pro script.

Here are some sample images:-
Fordson Tractor Processed With Lucy Starkiller Script (Sharp)

Fordson Tractor Processed With Lucy Starkiller Script (Sharp - Double Whammy)

Fordson Tractor Processed With Lucy Starkiller Script (Silky)

Fordson Tractor Processed With Lucy Starkiller Script (Silky - Double Whammy)

Fordson Tractor Processed With Lucy Starkiller Script(Smooth)

Fordson Tractor Processed With Lucy Starkiller Script (Smooth - Double Whammy)


I think the results look really excellent, and require absolutely no effort at all on your part (have you ever wasted hours trying to make a photo look a little bit better??).

The best part is that the script (for Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro) is only $15.95, and Jonathan is currently offering a couple of special discounts :-

The next 15 people who purchase LSK and use the discount code 'ilovelucy', a 25% discount will be applied. I cannot guarantee how long those will last, but as of right now there are 15 25% off coupons available.

Also - exclusive to readers of this blog - special offer code "mmfplskoctober", gives a 15% discount, and will be valid until the end of October 2009.

If you would like to order 'Lucy Starkiller', please do so at

http://inthelimelight.net/2008/08/08/introducing-the-lucy-starkiller-photoshop-actionpaint-shop-pro-script/

And please let me know how you get on with it!
