Start Earning From Your Mobile Phone Immediately

There are many ways one can make use of mobile phone to start making passive income. These days mobile phones are available at cheaper rates and when we’re not using it they can be directed to make passive income and I’ll let you know how in this article.

And I want to make sure you take this seriously as it’s not about earning pocket-money, but a handsome income for the future. Yes, you read it right and am not joking. I promise you that you’ll make huge income out of it if you can be patient for 3 to 5 years time. So let’s get started.

1. Mobile Mining: Electroneum has launched mobile mining. It’s just simulation of mining, so you need not worry about battery draining and all. It just keeps running in the background and consumes little battery power. Every day, on a decent phone, you can mine about 10 ETN coins. If you’re new to mining and stuff, just don’t worry. Just install the application, signup, and then hit the ‘Start Mining’ button. That’s it. Keep it ON almost 24×7. The more its running the more coins(ETN) you’ll get in your wallet. If you keep it running in the background for 3 to 5 years you’ll make:

10 ETN per day means 10 x 365 = 3650 ETN per year. So its, 3650 x 5 = 18250 ETN for 5 years.

In 5 years, 1 ETN coins value is expected to hit above $30 – $50. Some even speculate that it’ll reach more than $100 in 5 years. But let’s be very conservative here and lets assume it reaches a value of $10 per ETN.

So, $10 x 18250 ETN = $182,500 or $182,500 x 70 Rs = INR 1,27,75,000 Rs (One Crore Twenty Seven Lakh and Seventy Five Thousand Rupees Only).

Bonus Tip: You can make even more with this simple tip. Just open your ELECTRONEUM app and click on ‘EARN FREE COINS’ link on the home screen or click on ‘MORE’ or ‘SETTINGS’ tab and navigate to ‘Referral program’. Here enter 377F9B or scan above QR Code. This way, you’ll start making 1% bonus on whatever you earn. So make use of it and grab the 1% additional coins for life time.

2. Browse and earn: All the browsers you’re currently using on your phones, tabs, laptops, desktops etc are not secure and they keep tracking you and keep making money out of your data. It’s better for you to take control over your private data and also earn while you surf the web. You need not do anything extra. Just use this browser as you would use any other browser and over time(maybe a period of 5 years) you’ll make good income out of it – for apparently no extra work and time dedicated to it. Just install Brave Browser on all the devices and start using it. That’s it. You can find complete details about it here: Get Paid For Your Attention: Brave Browser


3. Money Transfer Apps (India Only): We keep visiting banks and keep transacting with friends and family. We pay bills at restaurants and chat centers. We keep paying our mobile bills, electricity bills, water bills, credit card bills, water bills, gas bills. We keep booking cars, movie tickets, flights, bus tickets etc etc. We can do all these on payment processing apps like Google Pay(Tez), PhonePe etc and get great offers, cashback and lucky draws where in we can earn good income for almost every transaction we make. Once you start using it you’ll fall in love with these apps. Its better to use these apps than your banks regular online banking apps for money transfer. When you download and sign up for these services using my link, we both get paid for it.

Amazon Pay: click here (My referral Code: 5WTFIM)

PayTM: click here

Google Pay: click here. (My referral Code: P503K)

PhonePe: click here. (My referral Code: sati4gubj)

Just use the same mobile number which is registered with your bank account to verify these above apps. That’s it. Now start transacting using the app which provides you discount / offers / coupons. For every transaction you’ll also earn some scratch cards and more often than not you’ll win some cash price in it. I mainly love Google Pay(Tez) and I do most of my transactions using it.

You can send me a tip for letting you know about these earning methods. I’ll update this post to include more useful and effective earning methods as and when I stumble upon them.


Tez-google-pay

If you’re new to Google Pay(Tez), you can send me Rs 51 by scanning above QR Code and you’ll get Rs 51 cashback. This way, you can Tip me and not lose you’re money as well !!

4. Crypto betting Sites like Cryptobet has great rewards for their wide range of games. You can give it a try.

5. Use Cashback Sites: We’ve cashback apps and sites. We’ve taken it down and working on it. Once it’s live we’ll announce it on this page and it’ll save you and even make you a lot of money.

Stay tuned .. Happy Earnings!

“I am very impressed with the app( http://technotip.com/report/ ), I think its a great idea and since publishers work with multiple networks they can save time by accessing and managing all their account details via one app. As a network this would be a good value addition we can offer to our publishers for free. I would recommend publishers to use this useful app and take advantage of the many benefits it offers. And yes the developers have taken care of all security aspect and assured me personally that ‘It is 100% safe and no one else can access user information from it except the user himself’.” – Irfan Danawala, Co-Founder DigitalSamadhan

All About ‘Matched Content Unit’: Google Adsense

In 2015, Google launched Matched Content Unit to help increase user engagement and time spent on the site by promoting relevant content present within the site. According to Googles own research based on the real-time data this matched content unit increased number of pages viewed by 9% and the time spent on site by 10%.

Note:
1. You can’t cross promote your articles/contents from 2 different sites. Matched content recommendations that are generated for each site will be internal to that site.
2. Matched Content units generate recommendations from pages that have Google ads or Matched content units on them.

Matched content units work on mobile, tablet, and desktop and are mostly responsive(the images and text within the unit content) in nature. If your articles do not contain images then text only format will be displayed.

Eligibility for Matched content unit

Eligibility What it means
Not currently eligible to use Matched content Your site doesn’t yet meet minimum requirements for traffic volume and number of unique pages.
Eligible to use Matched content Your site meets minimum requirements for traffic volume and number of unique pages.
Eligible to use Matched content and show ads in between recommendations Your site meets minimum requirements for traffic volume and number of unique pages, and it can be well monetized.

It has 2 criteria, minimum requirements for traffic volume and number of unique pages. The exact number for traffic is not known but we believe a site with as low as 400-500 unique visits per day is eligible provided it has enough unique pages – because these matched content units must show relevant related content without which it is of not much use to the visitors.

The Best RSS Reader App

We all loved Google Reader to add, read and keep track of our favorite sites / blogs online. Consuming our favorite content was easy and clutter free all those years we had Google Reader with us. But unfortunately Google stopped the service and many went on to the extent of filing online petition for Google to reopen it.

Our RSS Reader on Google Play

What is a Google Reader?
Google Reader was an RSS/Atom feed aggregator operated by Google. It was created in early 2005 by Google engineer Chris Wetherell and launched on October 7, 2005, through Google Labs. Google Reader grew in popularity to support a number of apps which used it as a platform for serving news and information to people.

What is RSS feed?
RSS (Rich Site Summary; originally RDF Site Summary; often called Really Simple Syndication) uses a family of standard web feed formats to publish frequently updated information: blog entries, news headlines, audio, video. … RSS feeds enable publishers to syndicate data automatically.

rss feed reader

Timeline
Over years I’ve used many different feed readers and many of them do a decent job. But so many are using web page scrapers to fetch the content and display inside the app, which I do not feel as ethical way of doing things. If an author is providing the feed, that means he would like to share his content that way. But no one actually likes scrapping of their pages and stealing the content.

Design
I always feel minimalistic reading apps bring sanity to the already cluttered world of information. I mean, there is an overwhelming amount of information out in the web and it gets distractive very quickly. We start by reading some quotes, we end up on Facebook, spend some hours liking commenting on photos and end up on YouTube watching few dozen videos and then we realize we did not get much of our works done. Spent precious hours browsing the web carelessly.

With minimalistic approach, we can concentrate only on one thing at a time and there will be less clutter and hence we can consume the content with sanity and without getting distracted by the bells and whistles.

Our RSS Reader app
Finally I decided to develop a simple minimalistic rss feed reading application – specially for WordPress(though works with any other sites) sites. I use it for consuming my favorite sites content online. Today I decided to make it public via Google Playstore, hoping it would help some of you too.

RSS Reader on Google Play

How does it work?


YouTube link: RSS Reader Mobile Application

Feed Page
Add your favorite websites feed directly using RSS feed address or Search and add. You can even collectively subscribe to certain topics.

Home Page
We show 4 articles each from your favorite sites on the home page. If you need more you can visit Feed Page and get more.

You also get Bookmarking facility and settings where you can take backup of your bookmarks and feed list and also change device using options present there.

Hope you enjoy using the app. And if you like it, please give 5 star rating and comment on RSS Reader ( Google Playstore ) page.

Personalized Payment Page: PayPal.Me

PayPal has been widely used by freelancers and other businesses to send and receive money. Over years many such payment gateways have emerged and still PayPal is a prominent tool for most people.

Personalized Payment Page
Now you can set up a personal page(Payment Profile Page) to receive money from your clients. Visit PayPal.Me and create a username and upload a profile picture, so that your clients know who they are sending money to. Make sure the username(vanity URL) reflects your business(my personal view) For example: My username is technotip which reflects my business name. If you’ve built or trying to build personal branding, then go with your name(and sure name, maybe) Ex: book authors.

PayPal-Me-Technotip-Satish

Payment: One click payment
Once you create your payment page, you can append the amount along with the URL of your page and send it to your client. For Example: My page is at PayPal.Me/Technotip If I want to charge my client with $25, I would append it with the URL like this PayPal.Me/Technotip/25 and send it to him/her. Client can click the link and pay using his/her credit card or debit card or his/her PayPal account.

Why Personalized Page?
Some times we might type wrong email address / PayPal id and send money – this leads to days of back and forth email exchange to get the money back. I’ve an email ID with .org extension but sometimes(even after explicitly specifying it to clients) clients send money to .com extension and think I got the money. We need to bug PayPal support team to get back the money and channel it in right direction. With Personalized Payment Pages I can simply send the link and they can pay me in few seconds without any hassle.

Google Allo – smart messaging app

Google finally launched its Google Allo mobile app which uses Google Assistant, a feature that Google announced at the I/O developers conference. Its interesting to see how Google will acquire any considerable market share which is already filled with popular messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, SnapChat, WeChat and its own Hangout!

Google Assistant: USP of Google Allo
While we chat with a friend(one-to-one) or when in a group chat, (in the same chat window) we can ask the assistant for the nearest pizza store or find restaurants nearby – just mention @google and ask your question and Google Assistant will do its best to help you out. Remember, Google Assistant takes time to learn about you so that it can answer you accurately.

allo-google-assistant

Google Allo Features
1. You can chat with Google Assistant and its artificial intelligence will try to give you natural looking answers and search results for things you ask for.
2. Once you start using Google Assistant, it’ll learn about you and try to give answers you can appreciate.
3. You can form groups for chat and share videos, photographs etc.
4. You can edit pics and draw random things before sending it.
5. Based on your location Google Assistant will help you locate nearby restaurants, ATM, Banks etc.
6. You can emphasis words by making it capital and increasing its size.
7. Lot of Emoji and stickers to express!
8. Predicts your replies and has texts showing up before you type anything – you can simply select these replies.
9. Other features include but not limited to incognito mode, WhisperShout(text-capitalizing, increasing font size), Ink(doodle the image), end-to-end encryption to name some.



Download
Google has launched Google Allo to both android and iOS platforms simultaneously. You can follow the link below and download.

Google Play Store
Apple App Store

Future
Over time Google would want to enable developers to integrate their tool/software with Google assistant bot and help Google Allo users to get information from your software/bot straight into their personal smart messaging app. For example, if you have pizza store and user types in your pizza store along with name of the pizza he or she must be presented with the price and availability right inside Google Allo.

Going forward we can see some stiff competition from Facebook Messenger(which will also be enabled with AI shortly) and Google Allo. All I can say is, give developers more facility and you’re already a step ahead in the game, step on their foot(like Twitter did), and you’ll feel the heat.

Let us know what you think about Google Allo.

Why I use Infolinks?

Few years back I had interviewed Infolinks on this blog and it has maintained its reputation and has grown even strong in the past couple of years – Lets explore how in this blog post.



Checkout Infolinks

Big advantage over Google Adsense – angular.js
We all agree that Google Adsense is the best ad network and is #1 in providing the best revenue share to its publishers and works best for most advertisers. But the biggest drawback and shame for Google is, Google Adsense doesn’t work on sites which are developed from Google’s own angular. Yes, I know we can write directives and make Adsense ads work on these sites, but read adsense policy carefully, it violets Adsense terms to make it work on ajax sites.

With Infolinks, there is no hacks, there is no directives – simply copy the javascript snippt into index file and you’re done. You can control the type of ad to show on your pages via Infolinks dashboard. Simple.

infolinks

Note: We’ve a good competitor for Google Adsense, which I’ll mention in my upcoming post. Stay tuned. – You’ll love it. I’m serious.

Infolinks is the best adnetwork for websites built with Google’s angular.js

Infolinks Products / ad types

Simply turn ON and OFF the services(products) like – intext, infold, intag, inframe, inscreen, inarticle(beta) from inside your infolinks dashboard and it’ll reflect on your site(s).

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

intext: InText highlights keywords and every time a visitor hovers over them, a related ad appears.

infold: InFold displays ads relevant to what your users are searching for, while infusing another SEO layer to your site.

intag: It displays relevant keywords list at the bottom of the page and shows ads once the mouse is hovered upon the keyword. Looks somewhat similar to Adsense link ads.

inframe: Based on your website’s category, InFrame will display attractive banner ads in the margins of your website’s pages.

inscreen: InScreen, an interstitial ad, is driven both by user intent and website content, resulting in well-timed display ads for your website.


– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Infolinks and Adsense together?
I get this asked many times, so I want to clarify this in this blog post – yes, you can use Infolinks and adsense together on same blog / site and it does not violate either adsense nor Infolinks policy.

Customer Support
I’ve to tell this – Infolinks has one of the best customer support. You need not be their premium publisher or someone getting set number of earnings or traffic, they still treat you like their best publisher.

MobiSphere.in Top Earner
MobiSphere is a discounts / coupons website which is built using angular. I simply copied Infolinks ads to the index page and the ads started immediately on all my pages. No hacks, no directives.

Strong Adsense Alternative?
Even though Infolinks is a very good adnetwork, it is not an alternative to adsense yet. I can say its a complimentary ad network that you can use along with Google’s Adsense.

Caution:
Infolinks takes some time to learn about your website content and the traffic segment your blog/website receives. You need to give some time before you can see better ads and revenue for your site via InfoLinks. You can always mail their support team to ask what you can do better to get good revenue.

Pro Tip:
If you’re using intag Infolinks ads, then make sure to turn on the ‘Revenue Booster’, it’ll increase the click-through-rates and hence your revenue.

SignUp for Infolinks.

Ads Turn ON / OFF
The Infolinks off tag

<!--INFOLINKS_OFF-->
turns off the script. Place it just before the section of text in which you do not want InText ads. You should put the Infolinks on tag
<!--INFOLINKS_ON-->
when you want to turn the script on again (when you want ads to appear).
