This is Part 6 of the series Become a Successful Demand Studios Writer.

Because Demand Studios pays higher than most of the other upfront pay content websites, the company offers freelance writers a chance to make full-time Demand Studios income working from home. However, making full-time income as a Demand Studios writer isn’t easy, especially for those just learning the ropes. It requires time, constant writing, constant rewrites, and patience. As you get more experienced, you’ll learn what makes a Demand Studios writer successful and what dooms a Demand Studios writer to fail. Read about my journey toward full-time income on the Demand Studios Work Challenge.

Demand Studios Strategies for Full-time Demand Studios Income

• Memorize the Demand Studios editorial guidelines. Spend a few hours each day going over the editorial guidelines until you have it memorized. Though this will take up some time in the beginning, it will save you stress and unnecessary rewrites in the long term. This then will increase your Demand Studios income.
• Stick to one writing format until you have it mastered before moving on to another. If you’re familiar with writing how to articles because you were once a member of eHow, stick with that writing format first until you can finish articles under that format in under 30 minutes. If you’re unsure with which writing format to choose, play around with them all until you decide which one works best for you.
• Find titles on topics you already know a lot about to limit your research. If you’re unsure with which category to build your foundation on, think about your daily hobbies or activities and decide which categories they would fit under.

• Learn topics and then write about them. It’s best to write about something you enjoy, so if you enjoy something but you don’t know much about the topic, spend an hour doing pure research to learn more. When you’re ready, look for titles that fit the category you researched. The next time you earn Demand Studios income and write a similar article on the category, you won’t have to do much research at all if the information is already learned. Continue searching for the same topic daily, since new article titles are added continuously.
• Keep a list of references on hand. Once you can find a topic or several topics you can write about fairly easily, whether you had to do the additional hour of research or not, keep a list of references and websites you used to learn about the topic in a file on your desktop. This will reduce the time you have to spend looking for additional references when the ones you already used are sufficient.
• Keep a list of citations that can be used in the articles on your topic. If you want a high score on your scorecard, it’s a good idea to cite your sources. So, keeping a list of 10 citations that can be used in relevant articles is a good way to rack up those points in the quickest way possible.
• Remove distractions and stay focused. Not only will eliminating distractions help you to concentrate on your work, but it will also increase your ability to produce more work, which translates into more Demand Studios income. One way to eliminate distractions is to close all tabs on your web browser besides Demand Studios and Google search. You can also disconnect yourself from the Internet or work offline if you know the topic you’re writing about fairly well. Moreover, there are applications like Focus Booster that will help you to stay focused on your work.
• Calculate how many articles of a certain format you need to write in order to reach your income goal. Once you have a clear idea of how many articles you need to write in order to make full-time Demand Studios income, stick to that number. For instance, if your income goal is $66,000 a year, you’ll need to make $5,500 a month or $184 a day. If you generally make $15 per article written, you’ll need to write about 13 articles a day. If your income goal is impossible for you to reach now because you simply can’t write that many articles per day, divide the goal by half until your experience builds up and you’re able to write articles at a faster pace. So, if it takes you an hour to write each article now, creating 13 articles per day probably would be too stressful. Instead, work on 6 articles a day until you’re able to complete each article in 30 minutes. Then, the goal of 13 daily articles will be a lot easier to achieve.

Being one of the oldest and most successful of most paid to click programs, Clixsense has vastly increased the income of millions of individuals who have used this work at home opportunity to their advantage by maximizing their Clixsense earning potential. If you’re a member and have reached that $500 mark, you know that such an achievement isn’t always easy to accomplish. Chances are, if you’re on this page, you haven’t witnessed such earnings for yourself yet. However, you can maximize your Clixsense earning potential and not just get paid to surf the Web. To do so, it does require some effort on your part, but it doesn’t always have to be back-breaking difficult. For beginners who are unfamiliar with what Clixsense actually is, you might want to read my Clixsense review. If you already have an account set up with Clixsense, go ahead and read further on how you can maximize your earning potential.

1. Upgrade to Premium

The first step to really maximizing your Clixsense earning potential is to get the most out of Clixsense. You can’t do that without upgrading to premium. Premium membership only costs $10.00 a year and, just by upgrading, you receive over 500 advertisments to start with (international users may receive less). Each link usually pays 1 cent a click (some links will earn you 2 or even 10 cents a click as a premium member). So, 500 advertisements earn you $5.00 right there, which is half of the money you had invested for a year. You’ll receive about 15 ads every day after the 500, and will most likely make your investment back in less than a month (I had, with a dollar to spare). If you’re still uncomfortable with upgrading for whatever reason, don’t worry. There are additional ways you can maximize your earning potential in the steps to follow.

2. Take Advantage of the ClixGrid

If you’re relatively new to Clixsense, the concept of the ClixGrid may baffle you. The ClixGrid is mainly a fun “game” Clixsense staff put on there to entertain members, sell advertisement space, and give you the chance to win cash with just the click of a mouse. How does it work? All you have to do is click somewhere on the grid image and you might win anywhere from 1 cent to $5.00. The odds that you’ll win anything, though, are pretty low. If you don’t win, a random website submitted by an advertiser will open on your browser in a new tab. If you do win a cash prize for your click, a page will open in your browser telling you how much money you’ve won. The game is free to play and can be quite addicting. You have 20 chances to win per day if you’re a standard member and 50 chances to win per day if you have premium membership. The ClixGrid can prove to be quite profitable if given the chance and can help maximize your Clixsense earning potential.

3. Promote Clixsense

You can maximize your earning potential by referring others. The affiliate program (or referral program) on this website is a tad different from most paid to click websites out there. Unlike many paid to click programs, you don’t earn money from your referrals’ clicks unless you’re a premium member and your referral also has premium membership. Instead, you get paid each time you refer someone to Clixsense (1 cent if you’re a standard member and 10 cents if you’re premium), each time your referral buys an advertisement package (10% of the purchase), if the referral upgrades to premium ($2.00), and (if you’re a premium member) each time your referral refers someone else who upgrades to premium ($1.00 and 5 levels deep, with $2.00 on the 5th level). Let’s examine the following chart:

On the first level, you’ll earn $6.00 if 3 out of 5 of your referrals upgrade to premium (3 x $2 = $6). Then, if each of those 5 referrals promote Clixsense and 3 of their referrals upgrade, you’ll earn $15.00 (5 x 3 = 15 x $1 = $15). This continues 5 levels deep, though you earn the same amount of money you’ve made on the 1st level as the 5th level ($2 per upgrade), so you’re earnings double on the 5th level.

As you see, you can maximize your Clixsense earning potential just by referring members. But then, how would you promote Clixsense? It’s easier than it sounds.

• Promote Clixsense on money making forums. Taking advantage of forums can be very beneficial and can help maximize your Clixsense earning potential a great deal, since most people on the forums will be interested in work at home opportunities. Be careful though – some forums don’t allow users to post their affiliate links in posts, so it’s important to read the regulations specific to the forums your using before you start maximizing your earning potential. Popular forums are Earn Money Space and Talk PTC.
• Promote Clixsense on Yahoo Answers. Simply browse the categories until you hit “Business & Finance” and then click on “Personal Finance”. Find a suitable question that needs to be answered and put your referral link at the end. However, make sure each answer is unique to the person’s question and never spam. Spamming is against Yahoo Answer’s terms of use and will get your account suspended – if users don’t get fed up with your never ending spamming first.
• Promote Clixsense by participating in link exchanges. Some users of paid to click programs will exchange their referral link for yours. The idea is that they earn money from your activity on their paid to click website, while you earn money for their activity on yours. This can greatly increase your earning potential. Some paid to click websites also have a free link exchange program. This is a wonderful opportunity to show your new referral what Clixsense is all about, while also trying out a new work at home opportunity you’re not very familiar with. Beware of scams though and remember to do your research before participating in any paid to click program.
• Promote Clixsense with your own website. Do you like to write? Why not start a blog? Already have a blog? Blogs and personal websites are wonderful sources of information… and can be wonderful promotional tools as well. With your own blog, you can also share your experiences with Clixsense, post payment proofs of what you’ve earned so far with the website, and answer any questions your readers may have as you walk them through the process of signing up. You can also opt to write for another website directory like HubPages and promote Clixsense that way. How you promote Clixsense matters and can be the difference between vastly increasing your earning potential and not having any effect at all.
• Promote Clixsense on social networks. Social networks, whether it be Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter, are powerful tools when getting your work out there or, in this case, Clixsense. Post your payment proofs up every now and then and you’ll most likely find some interested visitors. You can also use your profile page for posting links and maximizing your earning potential.
• Promote Clixsense on other paid to click networks. You can actually drive traffic to your referral link or blog url by taking advantage of advertisement opportunities most paid to click websites have to offer. However, usually advertisement packages aren’t free, but the fee is usually pretty small. Also, take advantage of any discounts during the holidays. Simply buy an ad package, submit your link and a short description of the link, and watch your traffic grow!

4. Check Back Several Times During the Day

You don’t just get one chance during the day to click ads. Advertisements on Clixsense are added continuously throughout the day, so check for ads often to increase your earning potential. It’s best to keep the tab open and refresh the page whenever you have spare time to see if more ads are available.

5. Follow Clixsense on Twitter

The Clixsense staff actually updates Twitter whenever they have a new ad available to be clicked, so make sure you’re active on Twitter. Using Twitter in this way will reduce the chances of you missing ads, increasing earnings in turn and maximizing your earning potential.
