As you know, Social Networks are a powerful tool to expand your brand. Besides to make friends and share the content you like, social networks are being used to promote many Internet businesses. This month, someone of my network has been attracting my attention due to his dedication.

Don’t forget this face, he could be the next millionaire entrepreneur.

His name is Patrick Hankinson. With only 20 years old, he is making thousand dollars with his website, with the help of social networks.

In these times, many Internet entrepreneurs present old and overloaded ideas, but not this one. At The Social Millionaire, Patrick presents a new business idea, combining the keywords with the social networks. His website connects consumers from all the major social networks to advertisers who want to reach this audience by keywords. Basically, he drive all the traffic he gets through the social networks, to the advertiser’s websites.

The Keywords

The keyword’s price starts on $5, but you can buy them for any higher price. The more you pay, the more visibility you’ll have in his website. Also, the advertiser who pays the highest price for a certain keyword, will appear the highest. If two advertisers bid under the same keyword for the same price, the advertiser who bought first will appear higher. There are several keywords there, and all them of advertisers who wants to promote their services through keywords, including me. As you can see, the system is very simple.

The Power Of Social Networks

Patrick uses the major social networks to promote his service. Myspace, Facebook and Twitter, are some of the networks where you can find him. Is very interesting how he has promoted his service, let’s take a look in the Alexa statistics:

With thousand daily visits in the first month, The Social Millionaire has a rank of 177k over million sites. In the chart, you can see all these peaks product of the social networks and all the reviews purchased by him.

Personally, I think that Patrick really knows what he is doing. Checking a review made on March 8th, I could noticed the number of friends and sales has increased considerably. In just 19 days, he increased his statistics from 122 friends and $106.5 on sales, to 354 friends and $2522.36 on sales! And I’m sure that this guy will continue increasing his traffic, friends, rank and sales in the next months.

As well as promote your brand, buying keywords in this site you will get a backlink. With the elimination of the Nofollow attribute, you will get a backlink, helping you to improve your rank in the major search engines like Google and Yahoo.

Hello bloggers, I have something for you. This morning I have found a new site which brings free blog promotion, with a voting system where you can submit your posts and start climbing to reach the top.

Blogsvine, in addition to provide you the resources to promote your blog, also it brings free traffic for blogs. You know how work this type of services, at the beginning they are not so popular, but after a time, they are a big community with several members. This mean the more people in the community, the more will be the traffic that you will get from it.

Although Blogsvine still being beta, it provides a good platform which you can interact with the other members of the community.

You can use this service to link the content that really matters to the other members. There is several information out there, and you don’t have all day to find the good stuff because many people work, study or simply don’t waste all their time blogging and researching the web . With categories from TV/Movies to Health, at Blogsvine you can add and share all these useful stuff to the network in the right place.

Also, they provide support for wordpress blogs with their vote button plugin, which you can submit/rate any post externally.

Blogsvine could be another Digg or Mixx, who knows? You could try it and see how it works. Anyways, surely it will give you a good amount traffic and backlinks .

Hey fellow bloggers, probably you have heard about payperpost in other blogs, but anyways, I’m going to give you my first impression about it. If you don’t know this service, let me introduce it: Payperpost is a service focused on blog advertising, which let you earn money with your blog by posting about campaigns. It is provided by IZEA, who host another services for bloggers like RealRank and Blogger’s Choise Awards.

What you will find by joining to PayPerPost ?

This is relative, because you can join as blogger and as advertiser. As advertiser, PayPerPost provide you the resources to promote your Web site, product, service or company, through a wide network of over 50,000 independent bloggers. By joining as advertiser, you will connect with bloggers to create buzz, build traffic, get product feedback, gain links, syndicate content and much more.

As blogger, you will find many opportunities to earn money with your blog. I see it perfect for beginners because there are many opportunities which pays between five and twenty dollars. Don’t feel bad if you are a problogger , there is a place for you in this program too. In fact, the best paid opportunities are available for blogs with higher pagerank, getting paid between $100 and $300, that was what I noticed.

Bloggers, does your blog qualify?

To have your blog approved for Marketplace Opportunities, your blog must:

• Be at least 30 days old, with at least 10 pre-existing posts written in the last 30 days.
• Have chronological archives.
• Contain content that is original to you and the blog.
• Be a text/written content blog, meaning no message boards, websites, IM, photoblogs, vlogs, etc.
• Have only one author.
• Not include ‘no follow’ tags.
• Be a blog written in the English language. We do make note of any blogs submitted in other languages so we may share those as we encounter Advertisers seeking them.
• Not be a blog kept primarily for earning money.

However, you may accept opportunities through PPP Direct at any time by placing the PPP Direct Badge on your blog.

Conclusion

PayPerPost is a good service, for advertisers and bloggers, helping them to get the best benefits of the blog advertising. Promoting your products or earning money by writing posts, advertisers and bloggers win, getting what they want with this program.

If you are a blogger, I don’t recommend you to put all your coins in this program. In my case, I’m not a fan of programs of this type. I could write reviews, but it could not be my main source of money. I’m thinking that I will use what I earn with ppp to promote my blog by advertising on other blogs, but nothing more, what do you think ?
