A lot of
people are into Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in order to make a quick buck.
Today’s post is dedicated exclusively to ways you can earn Bitcoins for free or
make money with Bitcoin. Earning Bitcoins Summary While there are many ways you
can make money with Bitcoin in the end there are no free meals. Earning
Bitcoins online take time and money and most methods promising free Bitcoins
will not be worth the time wasted on them. How can I earn Bitcoins for free?

People tend
to think that because Bitcoin is a new form of currency, there is some magical
way you can earn Bitcoins or make money from it easily. I’m sorry to burst the
bubble, but Bitcoin is just like any other currency out there. Just like
there’s no easy, risk free way to make a quick buck there’s no magical way to
earn Bitcoin. While cryptocurrencies in general may hold some new possibilities
for generating income the basics are the same – you’ll need to invest time, or
money in order to make money. I’m going to cover 12 different ways you can earn
Bitcoins in this post. Each method I’ll cover will be graded according to the
following factors: How much effort does it take to use this method? How much
money can be made through this method? How risky is this method? All of the
methods I’ll go over are things I’ve actually tested myself, so rest assured
I’m talking from experience.
2. Micro
earnings – Faucets, PTC, Micro jobs Effort – High Income – Low Risk – Low One
of the cheapest, easiest but also most time consuming ways to actually earn
Bitcoin is through micro earnings. This means that you’ll basically be doing
small tasks and earning fractions of a coin for the time you spend. Some of the
more well-known micro earnings sites are Bitcoin faucets – sites which you
repeatedly visit every few minutes in order to claim a very small amount of
coins. Faucets are actually a subcategory of PTC websites, PTC meaning “Pay to
Click”. PTC websites will usually have you click on an ad or on a button on the
site in order to make money from ad sales. In return you’ll get a small amount
of coins. How small? From my calculations, if you work non stop at clicking
buttons you’ll average anywhere between 5-40 cents an hour. Not sure that’s
worth your time or even the electricity for running your computer.
3. Owning a
faucet Effort – Medium to high Income – Low to medium Risk – Medium While
participating as a faucet user might not earn you a lot of money, owning your
own faucet is a whole different story. Today, you can build a cryptocurrency
faucet relatively easily and earn money from selling ads on your site. At
99Bitcoins I ran my own faucet for almost 3 years until I decided to focus on
other things. Depending on the advertisers you’re using and the amount of
traffic you have you can make up to $1000/month running a faucet. However,
running a faucet requires a reasonable amount of time and effort. You’ll need
to set up your own website, manage users, prevent fraud and also bring some
initial capital to fund the faucet when starting out. Here’s my beginner’s
guide to running a faucet.
4. Running a
signature campaign Effort – Medium Income – Low Risk – Low Somewhere around
mid-2014, BitcoinTalk, a leading Bitcoin forum, started running signature
campaigns. Simply put, you could use your BitcoinTalk signature to advertise a
product and get paid for every post you write. The complete list of campaigns
can be seen on the forum itself. With a signature campaign You get paid
according to your membership level on BitcoinTalk. Usually, anyone with a
status less than ‘full member’ won’t get paid that much, if at all. To become a
full member, you’ll need at least 120 posts under your belt. There are also
limitations on posts; such as length, original content, and more. Sometimes,
there’s also a minimum post requirement per week. From my experience you can
make up to $5 an hour depending no how much you write and your membership
level. This, of course, does not include the number of posts you need to write
in order to earn the required membership level on BitcoinTalk.
5. Become a
crypto trader Effort – Medium to high Income – High Risk – High One of the
fastest, easiest but also riskiest ways you can make money with Bitcoin is by
trading it. Basically you’re trying to buy Bitcoin when the price is low and
sell it when the price rises. However, trading Bitcoin successfully is not a
matter of luck or guesswork. Profitable traders spend a substantial amount of
time learning how to trade and how to overcome the many risks involved with
trading. Successful traders know they might lose money in the short term but
they look at it as an investment in their education, since they are aiming for
the long term. If you want to become a trader make sure you have the time and
capital to invest in good trading education.
6. Bitcoin affiliate programs Effort – High
Income – Medium to high Risk – Low to medium Perhaps one of the most overlooked
ways to make money with Bitcoin is through promoting various affiliate
programs. Affiliates are people who promote a certain business for free but
receive a commission if they manage to bring in paying customers. Many Bitcoin
exchanges, products and services have an affiliate program in which you can
sign up for. You then get your own unique affiliate link in order to promote
that product or service. Of course there are many ways you can promote your
affiliate link – you can share it on Facebook, run ad campaigns on different
websites or even set up your own information site and promote your links within
the content. This is actually how 99Bitcoins got started, and I’ve even
published a book about it called “My Dirty Little Bitcoin Secrets” which you
can download for free. If you want to know more about this method make sure to
download the book and read it from start to finish – only then will you
understand the amount of work needed in order to become a successful affiliate
marketer. Also, here’s a list of highly profitable Bitcoin affiliate programs
which I have already field tested myself.
7. Gambling in Bitcoin casinos Effort – Low
Income – Medium to high Risk – Extremely high A very obvious way of trying to
increase your crypto wealth would be to gamble on it using one of the various
Bitcoin casinos out there. Of course there’s not much to elaborate on this
method but if you do decide to risk your money and try your luck, please make
sure the casino you’re using is provably fair. A trustworthy Bitcoin casino
will know that their “house edge” is enough to make a profit and therefore will
want to prove to their players that they are not manipulating any results. They
do this through a mathematical algorithm involving cryptography. Bottom line, a
provably fair casino will show you how to check that the results of the game
you play are completely random. You can find a list of provably fair Bitcoin
casinos on our site as well.
8. Write
about Bitcoin Effort – Medium Income – Medium Risk – Low If you’re into
cryptocurrencies and have a knack for words you might want to consider becoming
a crypto journalist or article writer. As the crypto industry evolves, more and
more news and information websites are popping up. In many cases these sites
are in need for writers as they are publishing dozens of articles each week.
Since good writers are hard to find, if you can submit quality work you may be
able to earn a nice revenue stream by writing about Bitcoin and
cryptocurrencies from the comfort of your own home. The best ways to find work
as a writer would be to look for the “jobs” section in your favorite crypto
publications. You can also email specific sites you’d like to write for, or you
can create a writer profile on Upwork – an international freelance marketplace.
It’s best if you have some sample articles on hand before applying for a
writing job as many publications would request previous work before hiring you.
9. Sell a
related product or service Effort – Varies Income – Varies Risk – Varies If
you’re not good with words perhaps there’s a different service you can offer.
The BitcoinTalk services thread offers a wide variety of services you can
provide in exchange for Bitcoin. Some of these include developing a website,
marketing an online product or even becoming an Escrow agent for Bitcoin
transactions.
10. Mine
Bitcoin Effort – Medium to high Income – Medium to high Risk – High Many people
that start out with Bitcoin are instantly drawn to the concept of Bitcoin
mining. I mean, creating magical Internet money from your home computer? What
could be better? The fact is, that today Bitcoin mining has become more of a
profession than a hobby. It requires extremely expensive mining equipment, high
electricity costs, hardware configuration knowledge and physical space to
actually store your miners. Mining altcoins (e.g. Ethereum mining) is cheaper
than what you’d need in order to mine Bitcoin. But this only means that the
hardware will cost less. The other hassles of electricity costs,
configurations, maintenance and so on are basically the same. Sometimes you’ll
encounter a website or mobile app that tells you they will mine coins for you.
Most of these services are pretty much useless and will usually consume your
device’s computing power and battery just to give you a few cents in return.
Another option is cloud mining – paying someone else to handle the mining
equipment for you while sharing the profits. While this sounds ideal, most of
the cloud mining sites today are just pretending to use your money for mining
operations, they are in fact scams. Furthermore, while there are a few legit
sites out there, the money you’d pay them to mine Bitcoin is probably better
invested just buying Bitcoin (as can be seen with my Genesis Mining analysis).
Of course I urge you to do your own market research since in the end, it’s your
money.
11. Bitcoin Lending Effort – Low Income –
Medium to high Risk – Extremely risky A very popular way of growing your
Bitcoin wealth is through Bitcoin lending platforms. These sites connect
borrowers that need crypto with crypto owners who lend their coins for an
interest rate. Because these loans are ultra risky the interest rates are
pretty high which initially seems like a good thing. I mean I can make 15% a
year on my coins, what’s not to love about that? Well, since there is no actual
collateral that holds the borrower liable for the loan more often than not
these loans default and lenders are left without their money. I’ve tested out
several loans here at 99Bitcoins, and they all eventually defaulted. That’s why
I recommend to stay away from this specific method. One site that seems to be
working for a relatively long time which I haven’t tested thoroughly is xCoins.
While I can’t vouch for it personally it seems to be getting decent reviews. As
always, please do your own research before investing money anywhere.
12. HYIPs
and coin doublers Effort – Low Income – Medium to high Risk – Extremely risky
Another method I suggest you avoid are coin doublers and High Yield Investment
Programs also known as HYIPs. These are sites that claim to double your coins
every few days or give you unreal interest rates. What these sites actually do
is take money from new users and use that money to pay off old users. This
process creates a lot of buzz around the site that seems to be legit and
solvent. On top of that, they almost always have some sort of referral program
so that users can bring their friends on board. This is how a Ponzi scheme
works. This will go on for around 3-4 months until one day the website will
just go offline and the money will be gone. No more payments will be made and a
lot of people will get mad that they got scammed. I have reviewed several
Bitcoin investment sites in the past 3 years and have yet to find a site that I
can say is safe to invest in. Any site that promises you something that
is too good to be true is probably just a facade for scammers trying to steal
your coins. How can you find out if a site is a scam for yourself? Easy, use
the Bitcoin scam test tool to get a fair assumption about a site’s legitimacy.
13. Claiming
Bitcoin forks and airdrops Effort – Medium Income – Varies Risk – High
(especially for non technical users) Starting around August 2017 Bitcoin began
“forking” into other coins. In a nutshell, forking means a new “Bitcoin
clone” emerges from the existing Bitcoin. Every person who held Bitcoin before
the fork can now also claim the new coin as well. The first popular fork was
Bitcoin Cash, but soon after followed Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond and more.
The process for claiming forked coins (aka forkcoins) is standard but requires
an above basic understanding of how Bitcoin works. You can view my fork
claiming guide here. Keep in mind that if you’re not sure what you’re doing
when claiming a forkcoin you could end up losing your Bitcoins. So for most non
technical users it would better to pass on a fork and keep your Bitcoins safe.
Other alternatives include companies that claim the coins for you and take a
commission – but this could easily turn into a scam that runs away with you
money. Once you claimed a forkcoin you can sell it on an exchange for Bitcoin
or other cryptocurrencies assuming it has a market. Airdrops Airdrops are
similar to forks in the sense that you “get coins out of thin air”. Airdrops
are usually used to spread the word about a certain cryptocurrency. The
currency is distributed freely to the public, although in some cases some
conditions can apply. For example, Byteball was distributed freely to Bitcoin
users depending on the amount of Bitcoins they owned. To conclude, forks and
airdrops may be the highest value for time method you can use to make money
from your Bitcoins but they can be SUPER risky. Additionally you’ll probably
need to have an initial amount of Bitcoins to claim them. I would advise you to
use these methods only after ample research and a good understanding of the
claiming process.
14.
Conclusion I’ve covered a lot of ways you can earn Bitcoins or make money with
cryptocurrencies. In the end each method has its pros and cons, some are more
risky while others take a greater amount of effort. In order to make it easier
for you to review what I’ve just covered I created a table that illustrates the
different methods. As you can see – there’s no easy, risk free way to make
money with Bitcoin. The good news is that it is possible, and if you put some
effort into it you can find a lot of creative ways to create new income
streams. You may still have some questions. If so, just leave them in the
comment section below. And if you’ve tried out one of the methods above and
want to share your experience with it I’d love to hear it as well.
Several months ago I wrote an article on how to make
$200 per day with adsense on facebook + websites. If you
want to know how to add $300 per day more with Propellerads then this
article is for you. When I wrote that article more than a year ago I didn’t
expect it to go “viral“. A lot of people contacted me in 2015 to learn
more about how everything works or simply because they’re putting some work and
wanted some feedback on the results they’re achieving.
2019 update: This strategy has been evolving and our latest
system is to use Facebook Audience Network Ads to monetize our mobile FB traffic.
With over 1,400 comments it’s one of the top 5
articles on my blog and I know the reason behind it is the “simplicity” of the
game.
But as many of you can see, creating a viral website
isn’t that easy. In fact, from over 600 comments I have in that article maybe
just a couple dozens of them are from people telling me that they started their
viral website and made it work. Some of them make $50 per day, and some of them
are making more than $500 per day. The rest is just people asking
questions or commenting about how good it looks but they don’t have the money
to do it, etc.
So first let me explain what this article is going to
be about:
1.I’m going to explain what you
need in Facebook to go viral, WITH REAL NUMBERS, not the shitty articles
that tell you go viral by creating something people love and that stuff that
everybody knows but nobody knows how to put to use.
2.I’m going to explain what you
need in Adsense to make money as it’s not that easy. It’s a math game
and all relies in the numbers
3.I tried different methods and found that
you can generate some extra income with pop
under ads from networks like Propellerads using your
viral website. This will be the final part of the post.
4.I’m going to show you a few tests I
made and the earnings with PropellerAds
That’s it. As always I’m going to try to keep it
short, but you know I normally write 2,000 words per article so make sure you
grab a cup of coffee before you continue reading.
Facebook Ads and going viral
OK so as mentioned, this is a numbers game and
Facebook is the main traffic source to tackle if you want to go viral with clickbait
news and stuff. I already mentioned how I do it basically in the former
article, however a lot of people email me or comment asking for questions like:
·Is my CPC too high?
·Which countries should
I target?
·What do you put in
your interests when targeting people?
·I’m making money but I
spend more than I earn with Adsense
Those are the main questions I think I’ve received in
the last 6 months and I’m going to answer them all so you can understand the
theory behind going viral on Facebook and making money.
This is the first part of the equation and your target
here is to get as many visits as possible with a low budget. Remember we are
using Facebook ads, so you need to invest money to make money and you’ve got to
have some decent budget to test A LOT of campaigns.
What is a Facebook Ads campaign?
In this case, a
campaign would be the news/article you’re promoting, but keep in mind the price
of the visitors could change a lot if you change your headline and image to
something more compelling.
So the first
step is to have a blog and start posting some news in the form of viral
articles as explained before. That should be clear by now. But how do you make it viral?
Well, as
surprising as this might sound, most of your articles won’t go viral. AND
THAT’S FINE. It’s something you have to accept because you’re
not the best copy writer in the world and you might not be expert at marketing
either.
The thing is you
need to test a load of campaigns and news until you find the golden ones.
Sometimes it takes you 10 articles to find a golden nugget. Sometimes it could
take you 30 or 50 until you find one.
Again, don’t
worry. It’s normal to fail a lot of campaigns until you find the best one
and scale it. Not even the best marketers in the world can make every product
or campaign go pro no matter how good they are. However, you need to consider
that if you’re going to test a lot of articles and fire campaigns on Facebook
Ads, you need a budget.
How much do I need to get started?
Something a lot
of my readers told me is why do they need $1,500 per month to get stared?
They just have
$100 bucks and they want to know why they won’t make it.
The truth is
they COULD make it, but most probably they won’t. Here’s the math behind it.
Let’s say this
is your first time doing viral websites and you’ve got a small idea of how everything
works. You write 5 articles every single day of the week and every 20 articles
on average you find a good one that goes viral.
5 articles per
day becomes 35 per week and 150 per month.
You create a
campaign on Facebook ads for each article and pump $5 bucks to test it before
deciding if it’s good or not.
·That’s $5 x 150 = $750 USD in
just a month.
Now, if you
write more articles or if you decide to test with a higher budget or with
different images/headlines you’ll need more money, so it could easily become
$1k per month or even $2k per month just in tests.
If you have $100
bucks to get started you’ll try a few articles and before the week ends you’ll
burn your money without any success and you’ll move to the next shinny thing
you find in the warrior forum. But let’s say you get lucky and find a campaign
with those $100 and from 10 campaigns you launch 1 of them goes viral.
Now you need
money to scale the campaigns and make a lot of money, but you don’t have it and
Google Adsense won’t pay you until the end of next month… By the time you
receive the payment your campaign will be long dead and the initial momentum
you gained will be lost in space.
Now that I’ve
explained the basics behind the budget you need to enter this business let’s
analyze how your campaigns can go viral by answering the most common questions
mentioned above:
1.Go broad and pick up a country. It doesn’t matter
which country it is. Facebook has a ton of traffic from every part of the world
so just pick up a country where you know the language and maybe the slang and
things that are viral at this moment. You can use Google trends to do some
research.
2.You’re going to write viral
articles that appeal broad audiences, so initially you don’t
need to worry about the gender or the ages of people you’re targeting on
Facebook. Later you can go back and check your Facebook reports
to see what’s working better. Initially just gather data.
3.You don’t
need to target specific interests because you’re going broad.
Don’t try targeting people who already liked other big viral websites or meme
websites because they might have already seen the article you’ve written
somewhere else or they are used to those kind of ads in their newsfeed.
Finally, let’s
get technical and do the math so you can understand how to make more money than
you’re spending.
Facebook Ads by the numbers
I’ll make it simple with an example:
Let’s say you’re
running a campaign in France and your average Adsense CPC is worth $0.25.
Initially you
start a Facebook campaign (Clicks to website should be your objective) and your
average CPC is 0.05 with an average CTR on your banner of 1%.
What do you need
to be profitable in this case? Do the math… I’ll wait…
OK so if you
earn 25 cents from every click on your Adsense banners and every click from
Facebook ads to your website costs 5 cents it means you need at least 1 click in
your Adsense banners every 5 visitors just to break even. Right?
So if you need 1
click every 5 visitors it means you need an Adsense CTR of 20%.
Are you going to
make money here? I don’t think so… Who gets a CTR of 20% when the average
Adsense CTR is usually 1-2%? maybe 5%?
Now let’s image this example:
You’re running
the same campaign in France and let’s say your average Adsense CPC is $0.3. You
start a Facebook campaign and with a great image and headline you increase the
CTR of your Facebook banner to 5%. This results into a CPC of $0.01 which is 5
times lower than it was before.
What kind of CTR
would you need in your website to make money? I’ll help you with the math
again.
If you get paid
30 cents per each click in your Adsense banners and you’re paying 1 cent per
visitor from Facebook, then you need at least 1 click to your Adsense banner
every 30 visits to break even. Anything higher than that and you’d be
profitable!
1 click every 30
visitors means you need an Adsense CTR of 3.3%. Is that possible to achieve?
for sure!
So, in
conclusion, what you need to make money with viral traffic is to get your
clicks from Facebook as cheap as possible and to increase your Adsense CTR as
much as possible to earn more money per visitor. The second question is, how do I do that?
The key behind cheap
FB clicks
What you need
here is to split test a lot of images and headlines until you find the best
ones. If you’re not sure how to tackle this go to your Facebook account and
like all the Facebook Fan pages related to viral websites until you understand
the style behind them.
I already
mentioned that writing a lot of articles and launching campaigns is they key
behind this business, but trust me, the same article can perform a lot better
just by tweaking the headline and the image. One image could have a mediocre
CTR (les than 2% CTR on Facebook Ads) while a good image could have a wonderful
CTR (4% and above) and that will lower your CPC costs a lot. That’s simply the
key behind Facebook ads and cheap clicks.
Bonus: You can also use retargeting and custom audiences once you
start getting traffic in your website to launch campaigns that will perform a
lot better (extra ROI) because you know those people already visited your
website. Also, don’t forget to check the Facebook Ads report in your ad manager
to see which genders and ages are clicking your ad more so you can create ads
for them and lower the CPC.
The key behind a
great Adsense CTR
You need to
split test several themes and positions. Do the math and discover what kind of
CTR do you need to be profitable as we did in the examples above and start
testing like crazy until you find the best combination. You can split test
themes (with WordPress this is quite easy), split test colors, positions of
banners, colors of banners, banner sizes and more. Make sure you split test as much
as you can until you find the best combination for your traffic.
Here’s a simple
test that can increase your CTR by 1-2% just by making a small change:
Split
testing between right sidebar and left sidebar can help you increase your CTR
Another
good thing is to split test colors and mix them with the design of your
website. Have a blue website with blue menu and links? test blue ads and blue
links:
What is a Facebook Ads campaign?
In this case, a
campaign would be the news/article you’re promoting, but keep in mind the price
of the visitors could change a lot if you change your headline and image to
something more compelling.
So the first
step is to have a blog and start posting some news in the form of viral

Finally, let’s
get technical and do the math so you can understand how to make more money than
you’re spending.
PropellerAds and viral traffic
Finally, let’s talk about adding
some extra ROI to your earnings by using PropellerAds (sign up here).
If this is the first time you’ve
heard about PropellerAds, they are one of the largest networks and most of
their ads are shown on a popunder (onclick ads, as they call them) format.
What is a popunder ad? Well, you
know… the type of ad that pops in another window behind your original website.
It looks something like this:
Yes, these are the same ads that
most people hate and some of then assure pop under and pop up ads are dead
but they can’t be more wrong. Pop Ads work wonderfully although I
accept they’re very intrusive and sometimes I just hate to see them. But that
doesn’t mean they don’t work.
Anyways, the real reason you’re here
is because you want to know how to make extra money and see how I earned $300
extra per day, so here it goes.
First thing you need to do is to
understand how to install and show Pop under ads from Propeller Ads in your
website. I wrote a guide and a small review about them a few months ago, so
make sure you check it out and come back when you’re done.
Back in September 2015 I started
doing tests with a small viral website without Google Adsense just to see if I
could earn any decent money with PropellerAds and my (already big) Facebook Fan
pages. Here’s what I quickly achieved:
$30 to $70
per day just from popunder ads and Viral traffic with PropellerAds
As you can see, I quickly noticed
PropellerAds had some potential but the first I wanted to try it with a small
website and decided to do the test just with my organic traffic from the Fan
Pages I had grown in the past with my viral websites.
Some days I made $30 and some days
the CPM (cost per thousand visits) was better so I made more than $70 per day
with a CPM of $5.
My next step was to test the
strategy with my biggest Fan Pages so I could make my $200 per day with Adsense
plus whatever I could achieve as an extra with PropellerAds to increase my
earnings and overall my ROI on my Facebook campaigns.
Here’s what I achieved back in
September:
Up to $355 per day just with
PropellerAds and viral traffic
As you can see, I was earning pretty
much the same with PropellerAds compared to Google Adsense, so I decided to
contact my manager at PropellerAds and
ask them if there was a problem if I used PropellerAds at the same time with
Adsense.
My manager told me there was no
problem and Google shouldn’t have problems either, however, they told me to be
careful with Facebook because they don’t like pop ads when you’re running
traffic through Facebook Ads.
WARNING, YOUR FACEBOOK ADS ACCOUNT COULD BE BANNED
If you don’t follow the steps below closely
your FB ads account could be banned. There, I said it. So please read below to see my
strategy before trying anything.
So I decided to check out Facebook
Ads Terms and Conditions and yes, they don’t allow pop ups or pop
unders on the destination of the ads. They don’t have problems with organic
traffic (A.K.A. Fan Pages without Ads) though. So what I decided to do in order
to use both Google Adsense and PropellerAds was to create an specific page with
Adsense banners only for the articles that I promoted via Facebook Ads, and
then clone the same article and put both Adsense and PropellerAds and use that
specific link to promote it to my Fans without paying for Ads (organic traffic
just by posting the links in my Fan Pages).
If you feel uncomfortable with this
situation you can use any
of the other ad network alternatives. Especially the ones that
aren’t focused on pops.
So in conclusion:
1.While you’re searching for your
golden nuggets to go viral using Facebook ads make sure you’re using the URL of
your article with Google Adsense banners only
2.For all of the articles that you
promote to your fans organically (no Ads) use the URL where you have both
Adsense and PropellerAds
What was the final result?
At the end of September and during
October I was making $500 per day overall with my viral websites.
Around $150-200 from PropellerAds and
$300-350 from Google Adsense. Quite a nice bump in earnings just by adding a
second ad network to the equation, isn’t it?
AGAIN, make sure you don’t use the
URLs with PropellerAds when promoting via Facebook Ads or your account could be
banned. DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU!
Anyways, even if you don’t have an
Adsense account, you can still make good money with Propeller Ads and viral
traffic, the only bummer there would be that all your FB Ads would need to be
focused on getting likes to your fan Page instead of website clicks and then
you can promote your viral website with PropellerAds organically to your fans.
Since November I have been split
testing a lot of PopUnder ad networks and found a few ones that sometimes
perform better than PropellerAds. But as always, you need to split test the
networks because what works for me could not work for you as there are many
factors to count in like country of the visitor, operating systems, devices,
etc. One of the best ones I tried was Pop Ads but overall PropellerAds has been
more solid for this kind of traffic.
Conclusions
There you have it.
That’s how I added $300 per day with
PropellerAds and viral traffic and overall how you can make more than $500 per
day just with viral websites.
As always, remember to put this to
test and never forget to split test everything until you find the best
combination for your website/traffic. Don’t quit if you launch 3 campaigns
and fail. That’s pretty common but the ones that persist are the ones who
dominate it and make it big.
If you’re a lot into automation I
recommend you to use the Ezoic Adsense tool to split test and
increase your CTR and earnings. it helped us increase our earnings by more than
70% after a few weeks.

running viral websites, I’d love to hear your feedback and know what’s working
for you.
