I started the RedGage Make Money 2 Hour Challenge to record the steps I took to build my presence on RedGage. I have found that my readers on some of my other blogs have been interested in what I do to build successful blogs. Rather than answer heaps of similar questions from readers I thought I would directly record what I did to set up RedGage.

Please keep in mind RedGage is an experiment for me. I don't know the outcome or whether I will make much money. I know I will make some money but just how much is anybody's guess. As I have said before in earlier posts making money on RedGage is less important to me than building backlinks to promote my blogs. RedGage has a Google Page Ranking of 4 so links from RedGage to my articles and blogs are valuable.

RedGage Strategy - Add More Content
My money making strategy for day 4 on RedGage has been to continue to add quality content. I am aiming at a mix of photos and links to my blogs. I hadn't intended to add so many photos but I have altered my strategy as I see photos are a good way to attract new friends and develop interest. Being flexible is the key. I respond to what is in front of me and adapt my game plan to suit if I can see a clear advantage.

RedGage Mission Challenge Day 4 - Up to 2 Hours
  1. Add 2 new links to blog articles, Mine are about making money online on Xomba - 10 mins
  2. Add 2 photos (prep time to resize and watermark) - 25 mins
  3. Add 10 friends - 10 mins
  4. Reply to messages on my wall - 10 mins
  5. Respond to comments on my content - 10 mins
  6. Comment on RedGage friend's content - 5 mins
  7. Add 1 site link to another of my blogs. Now have links to my HubPages, my Youtube videos, 3 of my blogs I make Money Blogger, Easy to Scrapbook and Free Blogger Templates blogspot - 5 mins

  1. I linked to 2 of my posts about making money online. I am being selective about what I link to at this stage largely because I am still getting a feel for the community and what kind of articles work best

  2. Good photos are popular on RedGage. I have adjusted my strategy to include posting half a dozen photos per week

  3. At this stage I expect to make at least 10 new friends each day. Some of my friends are now coming from requests but I am also still actively seeking friends

  4. I am now getting some activity on my wall. MrBill who is a very prominent member of RedGage dropped in. I will make a point of responding to all who post on my wall.

  5. As RedGage is a social community it is important to engage with others on the site. If a member of RedGage takes the time to comment on my content I will respond. The RedGage interface is clunky and not set up to easily answer comments. It is a pity that when you are viewing content you can not see at a glance how many comments have been made and if any are awaiting reply

  6. I am continuing to comment on and rate the content of others. This is the fun part of being a member of RedGage

  7. I am gradually adding my blogs to my list of sites. I am working on a drip feed method.

RedGage Statistics
My RedGage earnings now stand at $0.05. $24.95 away from the $25 RedGage payment threshold.

The photos I have posted continue to receive the most page views

The number of friends is expanding and this accounts for the growing number of page views

My RedGage statistics were as follows:
