New ways to earn credits from Entrecard

Entrecard has just developed more ways to earn credits from tehm, now we have the options of buying. We all know that it is too hard to click all day to get those 300 credits limitation a day. From now on, you will see a”Buy Credits” link on your dashboard. The problem is that the credits that sold are very limited on a daily basis. The credits are sold on a first come, first sold basis. You may have to wait for tomorrow if you aren’t fast on buying them.

Another way is to write a blog post on your own blog. You will be earning 25 credits every three days, so don’t worry about writing on your blog every day. You can write just like before. This is handled by RSS feeds so you don’t need to submit it every time you have published an article.

I think that this will be the greatest way to earn credits because you could earn up to 2,000 credits in a day. All you have to do is writing for Entrecard’s blog. You must have some unique idea for them to publish your content and get your credits. The credits depend on how good your writing is. The procedures are as follows.

1. Send a message for Graham at graham@entrecard.com. If he likes it then he will be creating an account for you at Entrecard so that you can login anytime and write your post.

2. Submit your post for review by clicking on the “Submit for review” button. It will go to the hands of Phirate and Graham for review.

3. Get your credits once they have approved your writings.

Here are a few ideas that they want on their blog. Tips for blogging, tools, resources, personal anecdotes and stories, jokes, funny stories, and industry news.

Of course they also want us to subscribe us to their blog so that we can read all about the post. They are willing to pay 50 credits by just subscribing to their blog. You can subscribe be email at http://entrecard.com/blog/?page_id=352 .

Outbreak on Entrecard

I tried to access Entrecard Sunday morning to get some credits by clicking on those banners but I as surprised to see that it just hang out and then leave me to a dead end page. I was disappointed to know that there hosting provider has a fire problem. It said that it will be back within 12 – 24 hours so I did try it but again disappointed. Afeter a few hours I got an email from Entrecard saying that thye are having a problem with their hosting company and will be back on a few hours.

Greetings,

Unfortunately, there has been an electrical fire at the data center housing Entrecard’s servers. The servers have not been damaged, but the site may be down for as long as 12 hours.

Entrecard is hosted with ThePlanet, and this fire has effected over 9000 websites, as many of the world’s most popualar websites are hosted with ThePlanet. They are working around the clock to get their data center back online, and we are hoping that they get it back online fast.

Thank you for your pateince and understanding with this rare and frustrating problem. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing we can do but wait for The Planet to get their datacenter back online.

Please check back with Entrecard in 12 to 24 hours.

Thanks,

Entrecard Team

I’m sure that many have been disappointed by this fire outbreak because Entrecard is the one that has given many of us a free traffic. I’m just hoping that they could come back at all with our data. We have nothing to blame it on here. This is just an accident.

Success from Using Entrecard

I have recently written about how to use your Entrecard properly . Now, I’m seeing the results because most of the traffic I got are from Entrecard. I’m glad that I have tried this because it will save some money on advertising my blog. Perhaps I’m going to combine this with the ppc advertising for better results. Back on the topic. Dropping some credit is just like giving a business card to prospective buyers on the real world. You will need to create and attractive online business car for yourself. Whenever I go visit blogs, I have notice that I’m always tempted to click on business cards which has beautiful girls on it. This is the reason why I have changed my background from a cartoon drawing to a beautiful babe to attract more visitors. I know that some people are finding it hard to create upload their image on Entrecard to be use as their business card. Today I’ll share a tip that I know most of you will benefit from it. Entrecard is only accepting pictures that have a 125 x 125 pixels right. I will show you how to create 125 x 125 pixels from a regular picture. Here are the steps:

1. Open the Paint and go open the picture you wish to edit.

2. Click on the Image tab.

3. Change the width and the length to 125 x 125 pixels.

Another thing that I would want to add is that some people think that once they are dropping some cards on other blog, they thought that their ads will show up. This is not the case at all because you are merely giving your business card to the person. He/She will not advertise it for you. If you want to advertise then got to that “Campaign” tabs and click on the world “advertise here” on any blogs that you may find with the same niche as yours.

I remember that I have started a conversation from BlogCatalog entitled drop for a drop that someone tried to tick me by placing a comment saying that that they already did drop a credit on my blog. I went to entrecard and check it only to find that it is not true because I can’t find it on my drop inbox. We could check the ones who drop us a credit by going to “Drop Inbox”. From there we can know who has dropped a credit on us.

Dropping my way to Success

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you heard of Entrecard? Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is about using it to drive traffic. This article is all about using entrecard’s advertising power to your advantage.

When I first joined entrecard 3 month’s ago, I was so happy that they are sending me some traffic even if I’m not using the credits that have gotten when someone is advertising on my site. I thought that this will do me some favors because I was thinking of suing my advertising credit on a blog contest that I’m planning to have this year. It turns out that when I am not advertising the credits that is needed to advertise on my site will not grow and I also heard some cases that their credits to advertise on their blogs are decreasing because of no participation from the owners. It seems that the more you participate on the site the better you will get some traffic to your site. This is always true to social sites. Not participating on the activities will only mean that you are just wasting your time with them.

When I have found out about this just this month, I decided to use my credits to advertise and I have notice that whenever I advertise I also gain some credits. Although, it is just 1 credit. Those credits will add up to become bigger. I decided to 10 droppings a day to help get some visitors to my site, I notice in my dashboard that I get more visitors when I advertise compared to those time that I’m not advertising. Besides, this is a free way to advertise your site, you don’t need to get into the PPC market when you are just starting, and you can get a free advertising from this site.

Blog Catalog and its Pulling Power

I can’t believe how fast my blog got accepted on BlogCatalog. This is not the first time that I have passed a blog and got accepted by them. The first time I pass a blog took me a week and it also took me 4 times to pass before my blog got finally accepted.

As this post imply on the title so I’m going to explain how it can be used to get some traffic to our site. The first thing that you must know about this social site is that you need to get your blog approved before you can get some visitor going to your site. Once approve then they will display your site’s url on their listing and that will help you get more traffics to your site.

Aside from getting those free traffics to your site, you can also buy some advertisement from them. Basically there are three types of ads to be you can choose your ads to be. Here are the following:

  1. Site Wide Sponsorships
  2. Exclusive Channel Sponsorship
  3. Niche Conversation Sponsorship

They don’t have many details about the price. I think that they have forgotten about on selling this to advertisers.  After you have chosen what are you going to use then you can head on over to filling in the form on the sidebar.  I have provided a picture of the form.

Blog Catalog inquiry form

The other thing that you can do get some additional visitors to your sit is by sponsoring a categories.

1. Category Position – for just $8/month, your blog will show in there category specific directory. This is only a first come, first serve basis.

2. Category Spotlight – for $120/month, your blog will be displayed on the top position of the category page. This will ensure you of more visitors to your site.
