Make Money Blogging – What Is Your Strategy

November 13th, 2009 No comments

Make Money Blogging, Do you have a strategy?

Have you leaped into Internet marketing with your blog and you’re still kind of fuzzy on what’s next? I know if you are new, you probably have. If you have some experience, you might be like me and sometimes get deterred or distracted from your objectives.

I have found that my success has been enhanced by breaking down my strategy in to categories.

Strategy 1 is based on my need to stay on top of the latest trends and products.

  • I keep a list of areas that I feel I need to enhance my knowledge an I am willing to invest.
  • I have a budget that I am willing to pay which is generally under $100.
  • I try to find honest reviews before purchasing on places like the Warrior Forum
  • If  I sign up for the recurring billing items like club membership’s I make sure to save all the contact info so I can cancel if it is not beneficial. Even then I make it a practice to  give it at most 3-6 months if they don’t keep the info fresh and updated with new ideas.
  • I remain on the email lists of the creators of the products I have purchased looking for free stuff that I know will be offered and for new products.  I almost always review what they offer.
  • I use the  The “Cost Of No” Strategy for myself.  The “think it costs too much? What is the cost of not…” strategy tells allows me to analyse if  the cost of not gaining the desired benefit could cost me way more.

Strategy 2 is more like a task list of what I have to accomplish on a daily basis but also involves the strategy I use to market products.

Daily:

  • Morning’s are for putting the schedule together for the day.
  • I modify one of the many articles I have gotten from my purchased from the article products I bought and I submit them to numerous Article directories. 
  • I make a blog post on at least two of my money blogs ( I have 5).  Often I use one of the articles for the particular niche from the thousands I got from my purchases. 
  • I monitor the Warrior Forum for new ideas and product offerings.
  • I check my Google Analytics statistics.  This has turned out to be a great source for seeing what long tail keywords people are using to find my sights.  I use these with the Google Sniper techniques I bought.
  • Post blog posts to various shared directories.

Once a Week (usually Saturday mornings with my coffee ) :-)

  • I read other blogs to check out other ideas and site designs and make comments to obtain linkbacks.
  • I re-read the materials from the products I own for new ideas or things I might have missed.
  • I read through the offerings that I have gotten via email during the week.
  • Check my clickbank accounts for earnings and traffic statistics to adjust.
  • Make note of any interesting looking niches to create a new blog.

Monthly

  • Usually once a month I spend an entire day searching for a new niche to create a new blog within my notes, my purchased sources and clickbank.  
  • I revisit Google Sniper because it has a wealth of knowledge for starting a new niche blog and I always get a refresher.
  • Create a new niche blog using the Blogging to the Bank and Google Sniper techniques.

Basically the key for word for most business owners is discipline.  Get into a routine and be patient.  This stuff works but not overnight!

 There are a lot of wonderful WordPress plugins that are FREE to use that enhance your ability to make money blogging.

You can go to Google or your favorite search engine and do a search for FREE wordpress plugins and there are many choices that
you will see.

One thing I learned from my Google Sniper purchase is that if you want to increase traffic and really make money blogging, there are 2
essential plugins that your need to install into your wordpress blog.  Each on of these plugins also provide installation steps and great support.
 
The First one is named the All in One SEO Pack and helps to optimize your blog for search engines.

The Second one is named Google Sitemap Generator which creates a sitemap for Google and helps with SEO.

These two plugins I found from other sources and chose to use them to enhance traffic to my money blogs.

The first  one is named Sociable which allows users to share posts with the rest of the world.

The second one is named Subscriber2and allows user to sign up easily and receive updates when I make posts.  Check out the sign-up on the right side of this blog for an example.

How Can I ‘Really’ Make Money Online?

November 3rd, 2009 No comments

This is the age old question. Funny to think that anything about the internet could be ‘age old’ but here it is.

Ever since there was an internet for us all to use, people have been trying to profit from it. Many people have succeed, many are still trying.

There are plenty of scams out there promising you instant riches for only $137. The seller of this scam will show you proof that his method works by revealing his bank account. Of course this works for him, he’s selling the scam. His bank account is not proof that his ideas will make you rich. It is only proof that he is willing to cheat you out of your money. Why wouldn’t he be rich, he is collecting $137 a pop to tell his story.

What is his story? Probably something like, create an ebook, market it and watch the money grow. He will tell you that in order for you to create your ebook, you will need his $97 ebook software program. To market your ebook, you will have to buy his $197 marketing plan. It’s as simple as that. Wow, are you rich yet. No, but he sure is!

This is very much like the old mail order scams about stuffing envelopes. How many people fell for that trick? How does that scam work? Well you pay someone $24.95 for their informative booklet on mail order profits. When you get the booklet, you find out that in order for you to make money in mail order, you have to get people to send you $24.95 for your informative booklet on mail order profits. Sound familiar?

The only difference between that old scam and the new internet scams is the price. The idea is the same, it just costs you a lot more to get ripped off online.

So is there really any way for an honest person to make a legitimate income online?

Yes there is!  Google Sniper

It won’t be overnight and it won’t be effortless. It takes time and work to build a business anywhere. Why would the internet be any different? If anyone tries to tell you different they are lying to you. They are just trying to get you to buy their informative booklet, translated = ebook.

If you want to build a business, you will have to be willing to work, research and be patient. Nothing happens instantly and no one is going to hand you the silver tablet with all the answers.

There is a lot of writing that goes into an online business. You have to write website content. You have to write a newsletter or ezine. You have to write articles. If you hate to write, you are looking into the wrong business.

Yes, you will find people who will sell you the special program that will allow you to get rich without any writing. The problem is, how did you find out about that program? The seller wrote a sales letter. Hmm… sounds like writing to me. And remember what we already talked about? There is no super software that will make you rich overnight. If someone were to create such a program, do you think you would be able to buy it for one hundred and thirty seven dollars? Hardly.

Let’s stay on track here.

To build an online business, you will have to own a website. To create this website, you will have to research a topic and write about it. You will have to buy a domain name, (this is cheap and you only pay once a year). You will need to find a good hosting company to host your site. This can be pretty inexpensive if you look around. This is a monthly expense that you will have to be able to afford before you even consider building a website.

Once you have your site built and online, your next job will be to let the world know you are there. This is the biggest job there is. It is a never ending task. No one will even know your site exists if you don’t work on promoting it. Many people will try to sell you information on marketing too. There is plenty of free information out there all you have to do is look for it.

Finally, once you have your site up and running, you have people coming to your site, you will need a product or products to sell or what was the point? The easiest way to get products is through affiliate programs. These programs will allow you to sell someone else’s product and make commission off your sales. You don’t have to stock anything, you don’t have to collect money and you don’t have to deal with shipping.

There are many good companies out there that offer nice commissions on their products. It really doesn’t matter what you decide to create your website about. You will find someone selling something that will compliment your site.

So, back to the original question. How can I ‘really’ make money online? The answer is by working at it. Put your pie in the sky dreams away and start writing.

Making Money Blog;What Value Do You Put On Education

October 29th, 2009 1 comment

What Is Your Budget For Earning Money Online?

I have become amazed even more lately at the people that want to make money online but think they can do it fast and also think they can do it for FREE! I can tell them with all honestly that the simple answer is You Can’t!

So, I have to ask the question. What value do you put on your education. Do you look at a product and while thinking it might help, discard it to find something FREE or cheaper. People spend thousands of dollars going to colleges, seminars and who knows what else so why short change yourself and your education.

I can honestly say that the products I advertise here, I own. I can also say that I picked up new tips and techniques with every one of them.  Afterall, isn’t education ongoing for our entire lives!

So, if I spent a few hundred bucks over time to educate myself, was it worth it. Or better yet, am Iworth it?  The answer is ABSOSULTELY!  You see I believe if we quit learning, we die.  Now I don’t advocate getting in huge debt just to create a money making blog, but I do endorse the products here.  I just bought Gsniper for $77 to learn how to enhance my existing make money blogs, but I also want to learn how to create more of them.  Presto, Gsniper delivers in educating me and it and I was worth it.  Will it be easy?  Heck no!!  Do I know a heck of a lot more than I knew last week?  Heck YES! 

So, I have to ask.  What value do you put on your education!

A note to the wise:  When you buy a product from the good guys, you will always end up with some FREE stuff too!

Make Money Blogging With 6 Red Hot Tips To Get Your Articles Read

October 27th, 2009 No comments

Blogging To Make Money and Drive Traffic with Article Creation and Submittal

There are many people who dread having to write papers or articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads the. To some people, reading articles seems like work to, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, that’s their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.

But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It’s just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that’s why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won’t have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it’s about. It’s just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

To make sure that your articles get read,enjoyed and traffic delived to your make money blog, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

Note:  The blog posts on your Making Money Blog should also incorporate many of these tips.

1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person’s curiosity you’re already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.

Use titles like, “Tips on making her want you more”, or “How to make her swoon and blush” .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Make her yours in six easy Ways”. These types of titles reach out to a persons’ emotions and makes them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don’t over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teacher having a little chat with an eager student.

Blog To Make Money-It’s All The Same Only Different

How To Make Money Blogging

Have you bought other make money or how to make money from your blog products trying to figure out how to make this happen?

Let’s summarize what all  the products and experts say about how to make money online.

  • You either need a product or find a niche and related affiliate product(s).
  • You need a make money blog or website.
  • You need to market and drive traffic ( this is one place that the same things are said but in many differnet ways).  I am a huge advocate of article marketing.  All the ‘experts’ agree with this.
  • You need to build a list.

What steps are you taking to fulfill these steps?

Here is how I take care or plan to take care of these steps.

  • I use Blogging to the Bank 3.0 to build my blogs.  I currently have two that I created using Blogging to the Bank 3.0.  One is Blog To Make Money and the other is Money Savings Advice.  This allows me to create the blog I need with the URL that the search engines love using blueHost to host my blogs.
  • I use Clickbank and RoiRocket to find the products I want to market.
  • I use Mass Article Control for article marketing and content in my blog (also using the hundreds of articles from Mass Article Control) to drive traffic to my blog.
  • Now the next step is to build a list.   The consensus is to offer a free report or product and ask for an email address to receive it.   You will also need to use and auto responder to create the offer page and email capture.  Check out  aweber.com for an example of an auto responder.  You can also check out Master Resale Rights website for products you can offer for list building.

There are a couple other products I use to assist me with my efforts.

One is Keyword Elite which really helps me with keyword research.

The second is Maverick Money Makers Club which gives me ongoing support and ideas for new niche ideas and how to tips. 

Note:  I am having success without a list because of the article marketing and blogging I am doing but list building is my next step.

There are also people who love to grow flowers and loves pets. These things help us to relax and forget our everyday problems and troubles and these things are common to people. But not everyone has a hobby that makes money for him/her except if you love your job.

That is why many of us today go online to start a business; their reasons are either to supplement their income or to gradually replace their offline income from their job. Affiliate marketing is a great way to start in making money online.

Affiliate marketing is a revenue sharing partnership between a web merchant and one or more affiliates. The affiliate is paid a commission for referring clicks, leads or most often sales to the merchant. An affiliate’s advantage is that he can make money in a business where he doesn’t have the upfront costs of creating his own product, and he doesn’t have to worry about e-commerce, bookkeeping, or even customer support for it is the merchant’s responsibility.

Now, for sure you want to be an affiliate marketer with all that benefits an affiliate could get. But, do you have what it takes to be an affiliate marketer? Before you begin your venture into affiliate marketing, you need to decide first which area interest you. What products do you know the most and which products you could do the best job of selling? Once you discover your specialty, perseverance, patience, determination comes next. These are the qualities you should possessed to be a good affiliate marketer.

Too many online business prospectors lose out because they become impatient. You also have to know what your strengths are, the things in which you are good at and your capabilities and abilities related to your chosen streak. And the most important thing is you have to have a strong desire to succeed in affiliate marketing.

To be an affiliate marketer is not an easy task. You have to learn the techniques of marketing your product or service. You shouldn’t be looking at every chance because marketing is all about attracting you to look at this or that particular opportunity. To be a successful affiliate marketer, you should learn how to listen and to be taught because in life we need to learn skills to get by.

For an affiliate marketer, you should know how to market your make money blog effectively, which  will enable you to get thousands of visitors coming to your site which transforms into more sales. This only means that the faster you set up your make money blog, the bigger your chances of making money online faster. You should avoid the same mistakes some affiliates make everyday, they are only building a short-term business where they just make a small sale. Make sure you do understand that you should be building a long-term affiliate business and not just something that makes you a few dollars on one sale. 

It is also better to have knowledge on how to upsell your visitors for expensive services. This will in turn make you become recognized as an expert in your field and making money will be easier. There are some people that think just by having affiliate links on their website will bring them good profits. This can have some truth to it, but then most successful affiliates still believe that making use of strong marketing campaigns for their affiliate programs is still important. But affiliate marketers become much more successful when they treat their customers or online visitors as friends. Make a commitment to establish relationships with your customers and especially with visitors to your site. It is very important for an affiliate marketer to have a good business relationship with customers or visitors.
