How To Make Money - Week 1 at RedGage

I recently discovered RedGage, a website that can assist me to promote my blogs and articles for free. I signed up to RedGage because I found out that I can build backlinks to my blog articles and make a little money at the same time.

RedGage is a social community site that pays its members to post content. Members are able to add links to blogs, websites, HubPages, YouTube videos, images and miscellaneous articles and make money depending on the number of page views on RedGage each item receives.

Even more valuable to me than the money I make though is the chance to gain a backlink for every piece of web content that I link to on RedGage. Backlinks are useful for promoting blogs because Google assesses a blog's value and relevance based on the number of links pointing to a blog or website gets from site with a high PR of 3 and above the more credible the site will becomes and the more likely that PR will increased as will relevant position of your blog's articles in SERPs

To give you an idea of what I am doing I have posted my activies on RedGage for the first week. Please note I did not try for the RedGage referral bonus which would have doubled my earnings in the first 48 hours.

RedGage - Day One - Sign Up and Post Content

Today was sign up day at RedGage which took only a minute or two. I then spent some time familiarizing myself with the site content and how it works from the excellent help pages.

My first approach to gaining a presence on RedGage was to start building my RedGage community. I did this by first concentrating my efforts on adding content to RedGage. I uploaded four photos taken by me that I consider good shots. I also linked to an article I wrote several days before about how to make money writing on Xomba. I was interested in the kind of response I would get so I just waited to see what unfolded.

I concentrated on adding friends and in particular featured users who were doing well on RedGage because of their level of activity. My plan has been to link up with active users so we can mutually admire each others content.

I was pleased to see that my earnings on RedGage had doubled in less than 24 hours. By the end of my second day I had earned $0.02. Not bad when you consider that all I did was post one new link, link to my HubPages account, one of my blogs Easy to Scrapbook and and invite a number of featured users to be my friend.
