BigMarketingOnline is holding one heck of a BIG blogging contest. Currently there are over $40,000 in prize money up for grabs. This is part of the Blogging Idol competition that the blog is participating in.

Don’t waste more time. Just go there and participate!

I expect you have seen what Yaro Starak released  during the previous week. The videos and interview with a million dollar blogger he published to help  us all become better bloggers really impressed a  lot of people - including me. Today is your chance to become the next blogging success story and Yaro is willing to help you get there. His private coaching program has just opened to take on new students. You can join here.

The program, called Blog Mastermind, is comprehensive and includes -

• A step-by-step coaching course delivered in weekly lessons in text and audio formatPrivate members-only forum community and access to regular live training calls with Yaro (you can ask him anything you want about your blog)
• Video case studies of blogs and a ten-part series of audios from Yaro covering the core aspects about what it takes to earn big dollars from a blog
• Access to the social traffic club, a special community of members who help each other drive traffic to their blogs from social media sites
• 5 unique interviews with professional bloggers like Darren Rowse, Brian Clark and Andy Wibbels
• Plus loads more.

You can take a behind the scenes tour and hear Yaro talk about his coaching program if you watch the short video at the start of the sign-up page.

This is definitely the only course I know of that teaches you how to make a full time living blogging only part time, and how to build a real business from a blog, taught by someone who has actually done it.

Yaro’s teaching style is unique, he’s easy to learn from and has an ability to make complex subjects simple to understand.

He’s also one of the only bloggers I know of who really understands Internet marketing and how to build a business that doesn’t suck all your time.

Plus he makes over six-figures a year from his blog, so that’s enough proof for me!

No matter what level of blogger you are, whether you are brand new and still don’t even have a blog, or you are an experienced blogger who wants to take their income to the next level and stop working so hard, Blog Mastermind is for you.

Performancing Ads is an ad marketplace for 125×125 format ads. This ad format is most popular amongst bloggers.

Ads can be bought or sold in 1 week intervals. The price is set by publishers. You can get on the 1st of the following month in which the ad spot was sold. There is no 30 day or 60 day wait period.

Performancing Ads has an affiliate program as well. This is the interesting part. You can:

• Earn $10 for each new publisher or advertiser you refer
• Plus, earn 5% recurring revenue on all advertiser ad buys … for life.

You can read more about Performancing Ads at the Performancing blog.

I have signed up as a publisher on their website and will shortly be having some ad spots available on this website using their services.

We all use search engines. Most of us use either Google or Yahoo! for whatever we want to search. Why not make money while doing so? Is it possible? Absolutely.

Scour is a meta search engine which collates results from Google, Yahoo!, and MSN. You get points for each search that you carry out. Each search gets you 1 point.

Once you reach 6,500 points, you can redeem it for a $25 VISA gift card. It might not be much, but at least its $25 more than any other search engine ;-)

You can add comments to search results and make additional points on it.

TinyMassive has received some good publicity thanks to a review that was done at JohnChow.com.

How it converts for you is entirely dependent on the niche of your blog/website. I’ve been running it on some of my websites and the average CPC is a low $0.11. Do give it a try and let me know if this widget worked well for your blog.

I just signed up for the beta of Ping.fm. It is an interesting service that surely will help you to keep all your friends across a multitude of social networking sites up to date about your activities!!

If you have been looking for a beta code and don’t have one, here is one for you: “pingadactyl”

Enjoy!

That particular website receives 3K unique visitors daily. So over a 10 day period, approximately 30K unique visitors. Uniqueness is measured over a 24-hour period only. I’ve just been paid $2.83 via PayPal of which $0.41 went in PayPal fees.

I don’t think there is a need to do the calculations. The average CPM is extremely low. The quality of ads shown is also quite poor.

Feel free to evaluate CreditBurner on your own website to see if you get better payouts.
