INFO: Making money on your MSN Spaces blog

Want to know, in a nutshell, how to make some cash on your MSN Spaces Blog?  It’s weird.  No one’s written about this topic much and it’s such a huge part of the new MSN Spaces 10.5.
 
Making Money through MSN Spaces’ "Sponsored Advertising" module and Kanoodle.com
If you are a Kanoodle Bright Ads registrant, than you can deliver contextual advertising directly within you blog without doing anything other than adding the "Sponsored Advertising" module to your MSN Space and pointing it to your Kanoodle account.  If you are NOT registered with Kanoodle, simply adding the "Sponsored Advertising" module to your MSN Space will get you started.  The module itself will enable you to register with Kanoodle and get you on your way.
  1. Make sure that you’ve signed into your MSN Space and are in Edit mode. 
  2. Click the Customize tab.
  3. Click "Modules"
  4. Add the "Sponsored Advertisements" module.  It may require you to scroll through the different modules drop down box.
  5. Follow the instructions in the module box that appears on your MSN Space layout.
 
Making Money through MSN Spaces’ "Book Lists" module and Amazon.com’s Affiliate Program: 
If you are an Amazon Associate, you can link your MSN Spaces book list to your Amazon Associate ID and earn money for purchases that come from your list.  If you are NOT an Amazon Associate, you may sign up and receive your Amazon Associate ID by going here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html/002-9271857-5617646?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=3435371 
  1. Make sure that you have signed into your space and are in edit mode (One of the two views available to the author of a space in MSN Spaces. Edit mode allows you to customize your space and post new content to it.) .
  2. Make sure you have created a book list.
  3. Click the Settings tab.
  4. On the Space Settings tab, scroll down to Amazon Associates.
