Samie here,
I recently purchased a course that discussed the money making opportunities present thanks to revenue share web2.0 sites.
One of the main web2.0 properties discussed in the course, was a website called Xomba.
So what exactly is Xomba? Well it turns out that Xomba is a “news” driven community. It works in a show and tell format. In other words you can write about anything that you care to write about.
What you choose to write will either be a Xombyte or a Xomblurb. A Xombyte is to be a minimum of 150 words, while a Xomblurb is to be a minimum of 50 words.
So how do you make money with Xomba? As stated above, Xomba is a revenue sharing site. It uses Adsense as its platform. If you want to get paid for the articles you submit, you will want to enter your Google Adsense publisher ID (this is free to do, all you need to do is set up a google adsense account which is also free)
Once you have placed your Adsense publisher ID, you will participate in the 50/50 revenue share program that Xomba has in place. The Adsense Ads on the site will essentially have your publisher ID half of the times they are shown. For example, if you article is read 100 times, your Adsense Ads were shown 50 times.
As many of you know, Adsense pays for clicks to the ads not per impression. The more views your article/content gets, the higher the chance that someone will click on it.
Is this profitable? I signed up with Xomba a little over a week ago. The first day, I made $4.75 off of two clicks to my Ads. I have not made any money since. The profitability of the platform really depends on how much traffic your articles get. There are many Xomba users that make thousands a month with Xomba as their main income source. It’s possible, it’s just a matter of writing effortlessly and efficiently. Of course, you can always outsource the writing. I don’t recommend this until you at least start to see some return on investment.
A note about Adsense: The amount of money you receive per Ad click with Adsense depends on the keyword you are targeting. Some keywords are worth 1 penny while others are worth up to $10 or more. It is in your best interest that you target keywords that have high paying.
Xomba is a free service. Success really depends on the effort that you put into it. I wish everyone who tries this venture out, much success!
