When it comes to Writing I am confident that I can write on a variety of subjects and have taken writing seriously for the past one year. But when it comes to promoting my content I have not been much aggressive. Result is that I have not been as successful as I should be in making money out of my content. However, thanks to the HubPages system that even without promotion or marketing the hubs gets quite a good amount of traffic and makes reasonable earnings. A fellow Hubber rightly said in one of her Hubs “If Content is the King, Promotion is the Queen.’ When talking about Making Money from Articles one thing is quite obvious. The more the number of page views are the more are the chances to get the readers click on the relevant advertisements in the Article. One of the ways to increase traffic to Hubs or other Articles is by building back links for the content. This realization had me putting some efforts on promoting my content in places like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Yahoo Buzz. My efforts in those sites brought in a good increase in my traffic. One recent addition to these sites is a site called RedGage which is quite different from the other sites and have quite a number of benefits. I have joined this Site only a week back and I have already made $16 apart from the valuable free back links.

RedGage is a social book marking and social networking site that enables you to share what you are doing online. This site is a single location for all your activity on the web. Through this site one can build back links for all your online content like blogs, hubs, lenses, infobarrels, youtube, flickr, websites, ezine articles etc. Relationships also can be built through posting on member 'walls' just like in Face Book or MySpace and through comments. Apart from this Redgage also gives a money making opportunity to its members. This site offers three ways to earn from content.

• Add links, blogs, photographs, videos, documents etc and get paid for page views. In short, when you bookmark your own online content at RedGage, you get paid for views of that bookmark. The rate on which one gets paid is $1.05 for 1000 views. Members can also set their accounts up to automatically post their content links in Twitter and to import items from blog sites like Blogger or WordPress and photos from Flickr thereby getting more exposure for the content.

• Earn Bonus for the content which gets featured in the Homepage which is handpicked by the Site Owners. So far I have not seen any Bonus in the site which is less than $4.50.
• Participate in the contests of the Site. As of now there are daily, weekly and monthly raffles which gives the winners $25, $50 and $200 prize money. You gain raffle tickets and competition points by viewing/being viewed and rating content, commenting on the content, recruiting new members and promoting RedGage on other sites.

The Payout is set at $25. Once you reach Payout you will receive the RedGage VISA Card with this amount credited. Further earnings will be automatically added to the card. The RedGage Visa card can be used anywhere in the World.

So what are you waiting for? We all need to bookmark our Online Content to get some additional traffic and exposure. Then why not get paid to share content as well apart from getting a free back link. On top of that the bookmarks seem to get crawled and indexed in Google pretty fast too and the links are NOT no-follow links which is quite cool. Join me through my RedGage Invitation Link which will make us friends in the Site automatically.
