HOW DO I PUT WIDGETBUCKS ON MY BLOG?

In What is WidgetBucks? We learned that there are more ways than just Google AdSense to make money from blogging. If you know about WidgetBucks and want to sign up go ahead and do that now:



WidgetBucks allows us to easily integrate product ads on our Blogger blog but how? Luckily for us, WidgetBucks and Blogger make it a very straightforward process. Let's start by logging into our WidgetBucks accounts and click on the New Widget button in the menu.




This will bring us to the Customize Your Widget page.




From here you simply create a name for your widget, point it to the page you're going to place it, customize the design, and finally select what type of product you want served. Once you're set just press the Get code button and copy the HTML/JavaScript. Don't worry - like everything else we do around here - you don't need to know anything about HTML or JavaScript to start making money. But you do have to know how to copy and paste!

Now that you have your widget code, log into your Blogger account. At the dashboard go to Layout and then Add a Page Element.

You should have the Blogger form with all your layout options now. Here you're going to click on the HTML/JavaScript option.

WHAT IS WIDGETBUCKS?

WidgetBucks is a FREE ad service that allows us to make money from our blogs - similar to Google AdSense. (Read What is Google AdSense? if you have no idea what I'm talking about.) WidgetBucks is the new kid on the block.

What's great about WidgetBucks is that right off the bat they give you $25 just for signing up! You can't beat that with a stick.

WidgetBucks differs from Google AdSense in that it offers up “widgets” for products like: electronics, books, health and beauty, etc. It does not crawl your content, but it is customizable and they even recently fixed some slowness issues - so it looks like they're heading in the right direction.

Unlike Google AdSense, you only need to make $50 to get paid (AdSense is $100). Payments are expected to arrive in 45 days (keyword: expected - we'll all know if WidgetBucks is the real deal come December). And they already start you off with $25 just for signing up - so you're half way there!

Some of the sites in their network include: Target, Best Buy, and Amazon.com. All early indications point to WidgetBucks becoming a major player in the ad game.

In my next article I will show you how to easily implement WidgetBucks on your Blogger blogs. But for now, head on over and sign up for a FREE account. Tell 'em Earn Money to Blog sent cha
