Amazing but true Digg user makes $100,000 in a year
Digg user makes $100,00 a year “digging” articles
Â
To begin let me explain what Digg is
Some people are not familiar with Digg so I will do my best to explain. Digg is an online bookmarking site. Instead of bookmarking your site in Internet Explorer you actually go online to Digg.com or you have a button in Internet Explorer for Digg. By clicking on this button you are “digging” the webpage you are on or “adding” it to your favorites in the Digg.com system. As more people add it as their favorite it gets a higher ranking. It could eventually be “dug” so many times that it reaches one of the top articles of the day.
What is so great about being “dug” on digg.com
If a website makes it to the front page on Digg.com they will receive millions of visitors to their site for that day. Everyone knows visits mean money and so they could potentially make tens of thousands of dollars on this particular day. There are people out there who have several hundred digg accounts. They digg over 100 articles a day and get their clients up onto the top page. They charge anywhere from $2,000 - $3,000 to do this but it is well worth it to the internet entrepreneurs who make most of their money by selling their product online. Lets say 1,000,000 people view a site that paid a Digg extrepreneur $3,000. Chances are that 2% of the people viewing the article will click on a pay per click ad or buy something he is selling. The website owner stands to make $50,000 from that day alone. This is only a guess as to the money thath is available out there but there are people taking advantage of it and it is quite interesting to say the least.
