Monetize

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.

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!

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.

Check eligibility

Log into your adsense account. Go to Settings -> My Sites -> Matched Content.

Here it shows the domains which work well with Matched Content. You can create a Matched Content unit in My Ads section and use this list to see which domains will show good recommendations from pages on that domain.

Next you can also set its font family, title and background color. You can also set the width and height of the matched content unit or else select responsive unit. Save & Get Code. Paste the code inside your website / blog wherever you want this ‘Matched Content Unit’ to appear.

Responsive Matched Content Unit
Matched content units are optimized based on the container size. You can use the preview tool available inside your adsense account to see how the unit changes across different sizes.

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.

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).

Adsense Alternative: Yahoo! Bing Network

To be honest there are no real alternative for adsense when it comes to relevancy of ads and earning potential. But if we had to list an alternative then I would go with ad networks like
Chitika, Bidvertiser, Media.net etc.

Chitika
When YPN (Yahoo! Publisher Network) was shutdown they recommended their publishers to switch to Chitika, but to my disappointment Chitika was no were near to adsense. Their eCPM was low. But had good results for traffic coming mostly from search engine and on product niche sites.

Bidvertiser
Bidvertiser was yet another ad network which I tried out of curiosity and was better than Chitika on Technotip.org Their ebay ads started converting and I started earning good income!

Other small networks
I tried some other smaller ad networks and none of them even matched Chitika and Bidvertiser.

Yahoo! Bing Network

After long time I signed up for Media.net – it serves contextual ads from Yahoo! Bing Network. The name Yahoo! brought my attention and I finally signed up for it. First 2 days everything looked very promising – RPM of $0.2 But after 2 days RPM turned to be $0 and it continued for 20-25 days. I was deeply disappointed by the earnings and the ads that were being displayed. Atleast I had expected some kind of ad relevancy with the content.

When I wrote to their support team they replied on time and they asked me to wait for a month before I could see some results and relevancy of ads. It seems that, their server was still under learning mode!

After waiting for 35-40 days I checked it once again. This time I was satisfied with the ads and I was surprised with the earnings too. It wasn’t very high by the way, but better than what I had expected from an adnetwork other than adsense.

Cashback and Discounts on Major Brands: MobiSphere.in

We can clearly see the growing trend of online purchases in India. We no more want to move our ass to get to grocery sometimes – with few button clicks on the web we order it online. In 2011 – 2012 online shopping in India saw 128% growth in comparison with 40% growth in 2010 – 2011. More and more brands launching their own stores/hubs for customers. More eCommerce sites facilitating brands to sell their stuffs/products to their audience.

YouTube link: CashBack Application – INDIA

Competition and Benefits
I believe, this is only the start of eCommerce in India. It’ll grow to a large extent in coming years. The huge population of this country and the market potential favors eCommerce sites to sell things/products at a lower cost. Major eCommerce sites like Flipkart and Amazon India compete with each other and the consumer most certainly wins!

Lower rates on products
Look at the cost of a smart phone these days. This revolutionary low cost smartphone market wouldn’t have created easily if it was not for online sales and eCommerce sites like FlipKart. Also the number of people brands could reach without spending a fortune in advertising and hiring a super star.

MobiSphere.in Fits In
Looking at all these positive trend, we thought of amplifying the entire process. We at MobiSphere.in provide attractive discount coupons / vouches / cashbacks on well-known brands. This way helping both consumers as well as brands(producers). More discounts or reduced price for consumers and more customers for brands(producers).

Cashback offer – MobiSphere.in
We provide cashback on Flipkart purchases. You(MobiSphere.in members) purchase products from Flipkart as usual, for same price as listed on Flipkart, and we provide you certain percentage of cashback. Simple. ( We also provide cashback on Amazon India and SnapDeal purchases upon user request. )

Discount Coupons / Offers / Vouchers / Coupon Codes – MobiSphere.in
We also provide maximum discounts on a wide range of products of major/well-known brands. Some brands include – HealthKart, Dominos, Ebay, Jabong, Myntra, Paytm, Amazon, SnapDeal, Printvenue, Yatra.com, Foodpanda, FirstCry, American Swan, FabAlley, Fashion Equation, Fashionara, Ferns and Petals, Fabfurnish, flaberry, Flywidus, lenskart, indiaflowermall, Furnishturf, Lenskart, KFC, Zivame, Trendin, Zovi, Thomascook, Mobikwik, Indiatimes Shopping, Pepperfry, PrettySecrets ..etc to name few.

Future Plans for MobiSphere.in users
MobiSphere.in is not yet another discount coupon site or cashback site. We’re building a real time communication tool for both – brands and consumers. This way, we can eliminate the barrier between producers and consumers.

Consumers can discuss about the product with other members(who might have already purchased it) before making the final buying decision. Consumers can promote valuable products and help brands sell more of those value filled products quickly.

MobiSphere.in Launch
We wanted to hold the launch until the last moment, but then – some of our friends, whom we had already invited to test, started taking advantage of discount coupon offers and cashback facilities and they were so satisfied that they started letting their friends know about MobiSphere and the offers we provide.

Looking at this, we decided – why not let everyone take advantage of all the discounts, cashbacks and save money for them.

You can earn via MobiSphere.in
..so, one last thing! You can start making good income from MobiSphere.in cash back offer. There is a friend of mine to whom I showed MobiSphere in its early stage. We were having coffee in one of my favorite restaurant. He loves being online and checks various offers on eCommerce sites, compares the price and lets everyone know whenever there is price drop!

I told him, he is doing a great job by helping people. I also told him to start using MobiSphere’s cashback offer and order stuffs/products for his friends and family from his account. Or give his link(we setup special, unique link/URL for every user) to his friends / relatives while he lets them know about the offer or discount. This way, they make their purchase as usual for the same price listed on those eCommerce site, and we pay cashback to you!

That’s true. We pay cashback to you for all the purchases made via your link.

Earning Potential
Just look around and see how many people are purchasing products online. How can you offer value to these people and then make them purchase via your link. As I told, my friend lets people know about the discounts / offers and people are more than happy to help him back – as long as they make their purchase for the same price as listed on the eCommerce site.

Yet another tip for providing value
As of now, I can think of another way you can help your friends/relatives/neighbors. Usually, people need to purchase products worth more than Rs 500 to get free home delivery. But not everyone wants to purchase costly items. People can let you know what they want to purchase. You can order for everyone from your account, to your address. If the total order amount is more than Rs 500, you’ll get all those products with free home delivery! (FlipKart provides free home delivery for total purchase of above Rs 500 – for WS Retail.)

Word of caution
We’re not here to trick Flipkart or any other eCommerce site and earn. We legitimately want to help Brands, Consumers and eCommerce sites to sell more. We love the way Flipkart took Indian market by storm and set the trend of online purchases. People of India had trust deficit on companies for making online payments/purchases. Flipkart has won hearts of millions of people in India and it’ll continue to grow – in a rapid way.

For MobiSphere.in users – please read the cashback offer policy and the FAQ section on our site, so that you are not left with confusions about what’s happening behind the scenes. And do not worry, our cashback policy is a short and to the point writing and we’re here to help you to the maximum.
