roomsDB.net helps Singaporean bloggers earn extra cash!
You’ll probably have noticed that Advertlets is running ads to promote Singapore as a tourism destination recently. With the Formula 1 Race Weekend coming up, and with thousands of new tourists arriving in Singapore, you can pretty much expect that hotels will be full. So, Singaporean bloggers…roomsDB.net offers you a great way to benefit from this situation and make some extra cash! You could either rent out one of your spare rooms with roomsDB.net’s brand new short-term booking system, or, if you don’t have a spare room to rent out, you can join their new referral program and earn by promoting their new idea! But more about that option later.
So what’s this new idea all about? Well, in a nutshell, roomsDB.net helps ordinary Singaporeans to profit from the big events by helping them to rent out their spare rooms on a daily basis. Once the spare room is being listed in their new short-term section, guests can book the spare room just as if they would book a hotel room! The roomsDB.net booking system will inform the homeowner about new bookings, keep track of the availability of the room and send out booking confirmations to the guests. The homeowner can just relax and see the bookings coming in. And for those looking for short-term accommodation in Singapore, there are plenty of benefits too. Rooms are available on a short notice and most importantly: it’s cheaper than staying in a hotel!
RoomsDB.net has a web tour that describes how homeowners can rent out their spare rooms on the roomsDB.net short-term section and maximize their rental income. For example, homeowners might rent out a master bedroom for 1000 SG$/month in the conventional way. But if they charge 100 SG$ for a single night using the short-term booking system on roomsDB.net, they could as well earn up to 3000 SG$/month! So the system is not just for those who want to rent out a spare room just for a couple of days, but also for those homeowners who continuously want to rent out their spare rooms and maximize
their rental income. Check out the web tour here:
It’s a system that makes it easy for you, and takes care of you – guests booking your room have to make a credit card downpayment so you can be sure they will really turn up. There’s also a scheduling feature that lets you change the room availability for specific days or whole time periods with just a few clicks. You can even set the minimum number of nights required for booking a room. Overall, it is a very clever idea!
But now let’s talk about how you can earn extra cash promoting their new idea with your blog!
If you don’t have a room to rent out, roomsDB.net also allows you to earn extra cash via their referral program. All you have to do is write about it on your blog, include the roomsDB.net javascript widgets if you want – and if homeowners sign up using your referral ID, you will earn whenever a guest books that room. Signing up for the referral program is simple – all you have to do is to enter your e-mail, and your personal referral code and password will be generated. You can then log into the internal area and find all your personalized javascript widgets to put on your blog.
To give you an example of how much you can earn, here’s an excerpt from the RoomsDB website:
“Let’s say the homeowner asks for 100 SG$ a night and within the first month he receives bookings so that his room is fully booked for the next 6 months, which is absolutely possible. The overall downpayments that he will receive from his guests are 10% of the rental price. In this case that is 1800 SG$. Since bookings have been made in the first month after you referred him, you will earn 50% of the downpayments, which is 900 SG$! And that was just earned from a single homeowner! ”
So it surely pays out to take part in the roomsDB.net referall program! And with the F1 weekend coming up, it shouldn’t be too hard to persuade your blog readers that this is a good idea and worth it to give it a try and sign up! Please check the roomsDB.net referral program website to find out more and sign up!

RoomsDB & Advertlets Present: Write A Review, Get A 1-3 Month Campaign + Bonus!
Hi all, some of you might be familiar with RoomsDB.net, which has been advertising with Advertlets in Singapore. Since having the campaign, the Singapore RoomsDB site has gained major success – increased traffic has forced Sebastian of RoomsDB to upgrade to a dedicated server, and the site was featured in The Straits Times Singapore!
For those of you that don’t know what RoomsDB is, it is a site that allows you to find rooms to rent. Communication is directly between the buyer and seller, and you don’t have to incur agent fees! In short, you pay directly to the landlord, without any third party taking a commission!
We’re now hoping to replicate the success of the Singapore site with the Kuala Lumpur version of RoomsDB, and we’re welcoming bloggers to join us in a win-win situation.

You will not be paid for the review, but keep in mind that CPM Campaigns are more lucrative than the CPC ads we automatically match you with, as your earnings depend on your site traffic, not clicks. Most excitingly: if your blog is one of the top referrers to the site, you will also get an additional bonus at the end of the month!
* for every 1000 pageviews that kualalumpur.roomsDB.net receives, a certain amount will be added to a “pot”.
* after 1 month, the money in the pot will be distributed among the 100 top referrers that take part in this promotion!
* the money will be distributed according to how many visitors these bloggers referred to kualalumpur.roomsDB.net
So how exactly will it work?
* every blogger who fullfills the requirements (after the review has been written) will be issued a unique referral ID that he/she will include within the links to roomsDB.net. Example:
kualalumpur.roomsDB.net/index.php?ref_id=5
* referrals will be counted and in the end of the month it will be evaluated for how many percent of the overall referalls each blogger is responsible for and receive exactly this share of the money in the pot.
So what do you have to do to take part in this program and get your unique referral ID ?
In summary, these are the steps you need to take:
1. Post a review of RoomsDB according to the specifications below. Feel free to add in your own opinion on the site and point out useful features.
2. When your review is approved, a CPM Campaign will go live on your blog, earning you money based on your traffic.
3. On top of that, you will also get a bonus at the end of the month if your blog is one of the top 100 referrers to the site.
4. The top referrer will earn an additional RM100!
You have time until the 15th of September to write your review and therefore take part in this promotion campaign! After you wrote this review, just use the comment function of this blog to tell us about the URL of your review! That’s all, it is that simple.
