GANGNAM STYLE EARNS GOOGLE $8 MILLION IN ADVERTISEMENT REVENUE

When many people are complaining about unemployment and the recession that has taken a toll on our economic bargaining, a Korean Musician, Psy, is smiling all the way to the bank after hit "Gangnam Style" hit recorded a stunning 1,244,070,049 figures in video viewership at Youtube, earning the musician and Google, which hosts Youtube, a shared fortune to the tune of $8 million.

IT is no wonder that musicians and others usually bargain for the robust Youtube audience, which could earn them a viral traffic which could translate to mind-bogging profits. When converted into Kenyan currency at the prevailing dollar rates, Psy and Google could have earned something in the region of Kshs. 655 million.

One would then wonder, how do I monetize my Youtube account or video? Well, this is a secret to many who are reaping from advertiser revenue online.The first thing one needs to do is upload a video, make it viral by spreading the link and watch as the traffic piles up.Youtube then sends you a monetization request if the said video reaches the viewership threshold stipulated in its policies.

If you choose to monetize the video as per the Google request, you shall earn passive income from the advertiser revenue earned from the video.

Kudos to Psy and goodluck in your earnings.!!!!!!

GENUINE DATA ENTRY JOBS.

Looking for genuine work on the internet may prove to be an uphill task since most of the job offers are scams since they require the job-seekers to pay upfront fees which are exorbitant. What amazes most job-seekers is, why should one pay for online jobs? What takes many potential telecommuting employees aback is the fact that one has to pay for these "free-at-home jobs''.Get it from me that no onme should pay for any legitimate job, since most of these positions are usually non existent.
