How to make a screenshot in good quality. How to make a print screen using the PrtScr key. Instructions on how to take a screenshot on a computer using a standard Windows program

Judging by Yandex statistics, the topic of affiliate programs is extremely relevant - more than 38 thousand users per month are interested in “affiliate programs”, 35 thousand “affiliate programs” and more than 97 thousand request “earning money on the Internet”.

I have to disappoint newcomers looking for veins on the Internet: You won’t earn anything on affiliate programs and will waste a lot of time! I’ll make a reservation: this is my personal observation and does not claim to be the ultimate truth.

Affiliate programs 2domains.ru and reggi.ru

So my personal experience comes down to participating in 5 affiliate programs. Two of them are affiliate programs of domain name registrars 2domains.ru and reggi.ru. You can read about these affiliate programs in the article. Participation in them makes sense only if the site has good traffic or if the affiliate participant has several sites, because:

The paid commission for registering each domain using a referral link will be no more than 5-10 rubles from 2domains and 10% from reggi. Calculate how many domains must be purchased to generate more or less significant income.
I think it’s no secret to anyone how they are treated in RuNet - they are simply cut off and go directly to the company’s websites. This is our mentality.
At one time I was interested different ways making money online and devoted a number of articles to this about and other services. A separate article was devoted to information products. All of the above applies to the resources listed in these articles. Sites with low traffic cannot make money on them. You can talk about any kind of earnings only with traffic from a thousand unique visitors per day. If you are reading this article, then you are unlikely to be the owner of such a resource.
Trying to make money on all these services, you can hardly avoid the temptation to endlessly check statistics. Time and money will constantly flow away.
If you are the owner of several websites with custom domains, in this case you can compensate at least partially for the costs of purchasing domains. To do this, you need to register 2 accounts on the registrar’s website (one of them for a relative, for example) plus a partner account, and buy some domains using your own referral link. IN in this case It's not about making money.

Ozone Affiliate

The next affiliate I dealt with was affiliate program Ozone. A year and a half ago, I put banners of books from Ozone on two of my blogs. I wrote about this in an article. To date, about seven books have been purchased using my referral link. The money has been credited and remains on the balance sheet. Due to the low cost of books, and accordingly low partner reward, participation in this affiliate program with low site traffic does not make sense. You can, of course, if you wish, use Ozon banners for design purposes for website design. In all other cases it is a waste of time. If you don’t update the banners, as I did, then the income will tend to zero. But even if you regularly offer new products and bestsellers (which will require your time), the result, I think, will not differ significantly.

Affiliate program Netprint.ru

Fourth affiliate Netprint.ru- an affiliate of a company specializing in photo books, photo souvenirs, etc. My experience was negative, so currently I don't do it. I know for sure that a photo book was ordered using my referral link. No money was accrued for it. I didn't even waste time sorting things out. If there is a precedent, then the accrual system is ineffective. In this case, I knew about the fact of the order. When the order is not known, there is a O There is a greater chance that you will not receive a reward.

And finally, the affiliate program Skazkipro. Articles were dedicated to her. You can deal with her. Especially if you have the opportunity to post free ads on resources such as mommy forums, portals free ads and so on. To participate in this affiliate program, I made a website.
Below are my latest affiliate statistics for this program:

Let's analyze it. In a month it will be 2 years since I have been participating in this affiliate program. During this time, I was credited $119 and $120, $60 is on my balance and will be paid when my earnings reach $101. As you can see, you can earn money, but not much.

It is also clear from the statistics that 3 people signed up for me. The terms of the program are such that when the partner who has signed up for me receives his first salary, I will also be paid $100 once. Not a single partner of mine has ever received a salary.

I would also like to note that I don’t make any efforts to promote sites, much less spend money on advertising. The traffic of this site today is about 280-320 unique visitors per day.

Disadvantages of participating in affiliate programs

Advantages of participating in affiliate programs

Gaining experience.
In some cases, creating customer base, which may be useful in the future.

After all of the above, the question arises: should we give up the idea of making money on the Internet? No, I'm still confident that you can make money online . Moreover, I have no doubt that in the future there will be more and more opportunities. We need to try and look for “veins”.

And now I’ll write a seditious thing: today I think the most in a real way make money on the Internet - participation in network marketing. After such words, someone probably wanted to throw rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes at me. And yet, I will repeat: participation in network marketing is a real chance for a beginner to make money on the Internet. But not just network marketing, but one that allows you to earn money through a website. Which does not require selling goods or services to relatives and friends.

I am not a networker and never have been. Of course, I had to periodically buy goods distributed through network marketing. But I've never played these" network games"It just so happens that our public opinion has a negative attitude towards MLM (Multi Level Marketing - multi-level marketing). The negative attitude has not developed empty space, there are reasons for this, and we all know about them very well. I would never consider MLM if it weren't for the ability to run a business entirely online. In this case I’m not looking for clients, but clients are looking for me . There is a difference, isn't it?

It's time for the "heavy artillery" to come in to reinforce my opinion.

Who hasn't heard of billionaire Donald Trump?
Once, in one of the programs, he was asked a question:
- What would you do if you had to start all over again?
Mr Trump replied:
- I would find good company network marketing at the beginning of its activities, which has excellent systems support and training.
The whole hall burst into laughter, and Donald Trump said:
- This is exactly the reason why you are sitting there, and I am here on stage.

"Good network company at the beginning of its activities" - under this definition does not apply most American, Chinese and others"jar-cosmetic" companies widely represented in the post-Soviet space. All of these companies have solid experience and have a largely similar product range. The market is very overloaded with various “health and beauty” products.

Against this background, a company that offers exclusive products and recently celebrated its third anniversary stands out. She promotes innovative peptide technologies for healing and rejuvenation. You can read about what peptides are. To work with the company, I created website. The first articles on the site appeared in the fall of 2012. The first registration of a partner through my website and purchase of products occurred in December 2012. The first salary was in January 2013 and amounted to about $60. Since then I have received approximately the same checks every month, but so far I have not received higher amounts. This is due to the fact that the site is young and the traffic to it is still small. It is still listed in Google, but in Yandex it has just entered the top 10 for one of the promoted queries.

Despite this, I already have 16 people on my team (as of July 2013), most of whom came through the site. On the right is a screenshot with a list of my partners. People are coming and will continue to come. The number in the structure will increase constantly.

Update 11/12/2013
This article was published in mid-July 2013. By November the situation had changed significantly. My structure already numbers 72 people, and my earnings for October amounted to 15,662 rubles. Not a bad dynamic, isn't it?

Update 02/08/2014
The structure employs 164 people. I won’t give any more figures about earnings. And the growth dynamics are fantastic, in my opinion.

Update 06/16/2016
Here is a diagram of the growth of the structure for Last year. Today the number is 988 people. There are still 2 weeks until the end of the month, there will be an anniversary - 1000 people. The monthly increase is significant, because There are already 2 dealership centers and an online store operating under me.

Of course, NPTsRIZ is not the only company with which you can deal. Behind Lately Quite good brands operating under the MLM system have appeared on the Russian market. But, in my opinion, each of them is inferior to this company either in the value of the product, or in the marketing plan, etc. Some of them have not yet entered the international market and do business only within the CIS.
Now let's see why it is beneficial to work with NPTsRIZ.

Why is it worth cooperating with NPTsRIZ

Legality of the company.
The company has serious scientific potential and is itself a manufacturer of products.
The company works on federal level under the patronage of the Russian Government.
It is very difficult to get to Europe with any product. But the company’s products, to the envy of its competitors, were certified in the European Union in record time, which indicates high quality.
About 100 dealership centers of the company have been opened both in the post-Soviet space and around the world.
Demand and highest quality product, wide range. Most of the drugs have no analogues in other companies. Research has been carried out under the leadership of Prof. V. Khavinson for decades, since the times of the USSR.
SPCRIZ is the exclusive representative and strategic partner of the St. Petersburg and Gerontology Institute of the Northwestern Branch of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences under the leadership of Prof. V. Khavinson. Professor V. Khavinson was elected chief gerontologist in Europe in 2011 (for the first time in history, a Russian scientist heads a European scientific organization). In 2010, V. Khavinson was nominated for the Nobel Prize.
The general consumer had the opportunity to purchase peptide bioregulators only in 2010. For this reason, people are still little informed about drugs and peptide cosmetics, which means that there is a real expansion of the market and an increase in the number of consumers ahead.
It is possible to conduct business on the Internet.
The opportunity to receive a salary in cash, and not in products, unlike many MLM companies.

This is not a complete list of arguments in favor of cooperation with this company, but I think we can stop there. I didn't give the most important argument:

Throughout the history of mankind, people have dreamed of longevity and immortality, looking for miraculous means of prolonging youth and gaining health. People have always spentmoney for thisand they will spend!

Today, more and more people are beginning to realize that the world has changed. We work less physically, eat less foods of natural origin. The composition of soil, water and air has changed, GMOs have appeared. Many are beginning to understand that the food they eat is not enough to be fully provided with everything necessary for a healthy existence. A lack of nutrients is a constant phenomenon, and the body is not capable of storing all this for future use. Thus, the vital activity of the body requires constant additional nutrition. There are a great variety of methods, means and methods for this - everyone chooses their own.
NPCRIZ products based on short peptide proteins are exclusive. No one in the world has such experience in studying the effects of peptides as scientists from St. Petersburg. More and more people are learning about them and starting to use them. But awareness is still low, so the prospects here are very good. If you have any questions regarding products or business, please contact "Contacts".

“And then Ostap got carried away...” Basically, I just wanted to say: don’t waste your time on affiliate programs. They won't pay for it. Moreover, the authors can stop developing them at any time or shut them down altogether. And you will remain in your own interests... Look for other “veins”. IMHO...

An easy way to take a screenshot on a computer?

This is the simplest and current method creating screenshots. First you need to find and tap the “Prt Scr” button on the keyboard. You should see it in the upper right area of the keyboard.

It happens that on laptops with a screen smaller than 15.6′ there is a cut-down keyboard, that is, this key can be combined with some other key, in which case you need to press “Fn + PrtScr”. This action allows us to copy a picture from the monitor screen to the clipboard, in the same way you copy selected text using the key combination “Ctrl + C” and paste it by pressing two keys “Ctrl + V”.

To save this image as a file, we will use the built-in Paint editor. It is launched from this way: Start→All Programs→Accessories→Paint. Another way is to type “Paint” in the search bar located in the “Start” menu and click on the program that appears, displayed in the list:

This is the most quick way, since it can be difficult to find a program among a bunch of icons in the Start menu.

After you have entered “Paint”, you should click on the “Paste” button, or use the key combination “Ctrl + V”, this way you will get the contents from the clipboard:

We took a screenshot of our desktop, followed by saving the picture to the computer. We select the “floppy disk” and indicate the path where our file will be located. I advise you to choose from available list The “JPEG” format, because it weighs the least, can also be saved in the “PNG” format, as was originally proposed to us. You can create a screenshot separately for a running application. In this case, press the “Alt+Print Screen” button combination. You can pull a file from the clipboard and paste it not only using “Paint”, but also, for example, in office program"Word" or mail client Outlook.

Here is the simplest action plan:

Pressing "Print Screen" or "Alt+Print Screen". Depending on what you need.
Open "Paint".
Upload the data to the clipboard.
Let's create a file.

Also the simplest way To create a screenshot, use the “Scissors” utility. It will help you copy any part of our screen. You can find it by Start→All Programs→Accessories→Snip.

In the window open application Click the arrow to the right of the “Create” button and select what we need: a rectangular area, a screenshot of the entire screen, a randomly defined shape or a simple window. If you need to save a rectangular part of the screen, press “rectangle”; if you want to specify the outline of the figure, press “ free form" Next, click on the “Create” button itself. The screen will then change color and you can select the area to take a screenshot. It would not be superfluous to say that when the program is opened, it is automatically configured to select an area. Next, a window should open for saving and editing this screenshot:

You will find the Pen and Marker drawing tools here. Erasers can remove all your edits. Everything is saved on a floppy disk. We recommend saving in JPEG format, since this program cannot create a transparent PNG image.

ABOUT transparent pictures will be stated below. And if you decide to create more small size pictures, you can always come back to this later.

Taking a screenshot in Windows

1. Print Screen button

Perhaps the easiest way to take a screenshot on a PC is to use the Print Screen button on your keyboard. Depending on the size of the button (written abbreviated on laptops), Print Screen may be designated differently - PrtScr, PrtSc or PrtScn.

Find the “PrtSc” button on the keyboard and click on it. Usually it is in top row after the F12 button. After clicking it, a screenshot of your screen will be copied to the system clipboard.

Then open “Start”, find the “Programs → Accessories” folder and open the “Paint” application. Everyone knows that Paint is the “standard” Windows drawing tool. After opening Paint, click “Edit” (in Windows XP) and “Paste.” You can use a combination of the "ctrl" and "V" keys on your keyboard.

After this action, the screenshot will “appear” on your screen. Click the “File” tab → “Save As” or the icon for saving the file as a floppy disk and save the image to any location convenient for you.
