RedGage Make Money Challenge - Day 1

Today is Day 1 of the RedGage Make Money Challenge. This is a challenge I have set myself to see what kind of earnings can be achieved by spending no more than a couple of hours a day on the online community website RedGage. My mission is to build an online presence on RedGage to drive traffic to my blogs, websites and online articles.

RedGage Strategy
My initial approach to gaining a presence on RedGage was to start by building my RedGage community. I did this by adding content to RedGage. I uploaded photos and linked to several articles.

RedGage Mission Challenge Day One - 2 Hours

1. Sign up to RedGage - 5 mins
   
2. Read self with RedGage - 30 mins
   
3. Add up to 4 images - 45 mins
   
4. Add links to at least 2 blog articles or articles from eHow, HubPages etc - 30 mins
   
5. Add 5 friends - 10 mins

1. Sign up to RedGage took only a minute or two.
   
   
2. I spent some time familiarizing myself with the site content and how RedGage works from the excellent help pages.
   
   
3. I uploaded 4 photos that I consider good shots. I spent time resizing the images and adding a watermark. With so much stealing of content on the internet I considered it a good idea to watermark my images. Also means that people will start to recognise my work. The time was spent writing a concise description of each image and adding relevant tags to facilitate search queries.
   
   The interface on RedGage to add tags is plain silly. You can only add one word tags which makes absolutely no sense
   
   
4. 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.
   
   
5. I added 5 friends today. Several people approached me from the content I posted. I approached several people who willingly approved my friend request

RedGage Statistics
By the end of the first day of my RedGage Make Money Challenge I had surprisingly earned one penny from 41 page views and 5 new friends. My RedGage statistics were as follows:
