What’s New With TipDrop

Jonathan Leger’s new brain child, TipDrop is fast becoming a popular and active microblogging site.

According to Jonathan, “it’s already generated 1,151,449 page views and 3,214 user-created tips on more
subjects than you can imagine! All this in the site’s FIRST WEEK!”

What does this mean for you and me? Well, there are a few things actually.

Let’s start with credibility. When you create a Tip Sheet, you’re declaring that you know something about a given subject and are willing to share your knowledge. Other people can submit their ideas and thus create a very helpful list of tools for your readers. You’re also given a page where you can list your websites and a brief bio.

A list is next. One of the cool new features on TipDrop is the ability to follow other Tipsters (I just made that up, lol.) We all know what Twitter has done for many online and offline entrepreneurs. You can go anywhere, read any magazine, or watch T.V. without hearing about someone using Twitter. I think TipDrop is going to quickly overtake Twitter. That’s my prediction.

Make money. Who doesn’t love this option? Jonathan is sharing the revenue from the Adsense ads on the site with us. You have always been able to earn 75% of the AdSense revenue generated from your TipDrop user pages and tip sheet pages.  Now, though, when you send people to the site through your referral link, you’ll earn 100% of the AdSense revenue from the “house pages” (the home page, search pages, category pages, etc.) and TipDrop’s 25%
share of the AdSense impressions on the user pages will go to you as well.

That’s a BIG deal, because the house pages get most of the traffic from the site.  People are always checking out the home page, the top tip sheets in a given category, doing searches, etc.  And 100% of those AdSense impressions will go to YOUR AdSense account.

Each visitor your send is tagged with a 30-year cookie indicating that you sent them.  That way every single time they return, if they click any of those ads, you’ll earn the revenue.

It’s simple!  Just sign up for a free TipDrop account (if you haven’t already), and send people to your referral page, which is: http://tipdrop.com/ref/Username

Replacing, of course, “Username” with your own TipDrop username.

In fact, why not go create an account now! Don’t forget to follow me!

TipDrop: Is It The Next Twitter?

Do you love Twitter?logo

I can’t say I’m addicted to Twitter, but I do use it. It’s a fun way to stay in touch with people  and find out what’s happening around the world in a flash. But, I do have to say that it’s hit and miss whether I find something really useful in the 5-10 minutes I spend tweeting.

The next big thing in microblogging platforms just hit the internet . . . . it’s TipDrop. Funny name, but so is Twitter and look how popular it’s become. What I love about TipDrop is that it’s focused.

“TipDrop is a place where people come to give and receive tips on just about anything. When you see a tip sheet you know something about, simply answer the question.”

Jonathan Leger has created this new social marketing tip site where you can create a profile just like on Twitter, except you can add up to 10 URL’s in your profile. An unlike the Twitter microblog, you can write up to 255 characters giving you more ability to offer something useful.

Build credibility as an expert in your niche by creating a tip sheet on a subject you’re knowledgeable about. You can also earn money with TipDrop. Just ad your Adsense ID and Jonathan will share 75% of all ad-revenues generated from the tip sheets you create.
