What are vlogs exactly? The general term refers to a number of web pages that choose to use videos as journal entries instead of articles. Presented in a reverse chronological order, they find a great support in the use of photos and text; depending on the nature of the videos, there may be need of additional comments to make information relevant. The great part about vlogs is that they perfectly meet the present-day tendency of communicating via the Internet on a very familiar basis: when you see the person behind the text, the blog seems to actually live in from of you.

Most video blogs use some form of web syndication in order to upload and spread the videos online and at the basis of every transmission lies the RSS technology or format. Presently, vlogs, may even be accessed on mobile devices such as pods and mobile phones. Though, the very vlog phenomenon started as a collective attempt, there are many individual video logs that are authored by people who make a hobby out of it. It is a good thing to know that content contributors can get to be paid for their share in the process: on the sole condition that they upload viable material.

Let’s take the case of the Google video blogs that enjoy massive success all around the world, it is a collective effort of keeping in touch with people that are thousands of kilometers away from you. Uploading and sharing videos is an instant procedure on http://googlevideo.blogspot.com/, not to mention that Google also provides a directory of vlogs where you may find whatever you’re looking for. A similar example of a vlog collection that is also administered by Google is the very popular YouTube, which has attracted thousands of users ever since its beginnings in 2005.

The vlog working principles are less complex than those specific to a regular blog, though the basics are alike. For instance, if you join a video blog community, you’ll need your own channel, and signing up is usually required in order to be able to follow the rest of the necessary steps. Once you have a channel, you can simply organize the favorite shows, videos or podcasts from everywhere in the world or simply load and send them across the web. Ipods, iPhones and iTunes are perfectly compatible with vlogs, so that you can pretty much take the web with you everywhere you go.

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.

Follow these super simple 5 steps for making money blogging and get ahead of 95 per cent of other marketers.

*Step 1* Target a large group of people

First you need to research your intended market. You need find a reasonably large number of targeted individuals who have money to spend and a problem that

needs solving. To make money online you need to offer a great product, or service, that solves a problem for them.

You need to research:

(a) What are people searching for online?
(b) How many people are searching online for a solution to their particular problem?

First though, what should you be marketing in your proposed new online business?

Ideally, you should market something that you have a keen interest in, this will keep you motivated. You can find out what people are searching for at Google here: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal and at Wordtracker.com who currently offer a free trial at http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com

*Step 2* Locate a great product

Once you have researched your target market, it is time to quickly locate your products or services. If you have your own product great, if not then there are plenty of options to sell, or resell other peoples products.

There are thousands of products you can find quickly. However, marketing and selling a really good product needs a little more attention (you could create your own but you want to get started fast, right?)

Next…locate your products

You can choose to promote physical products or digital online products. Digital products cover many different areas of interest and are incredibly profitable. There are no delivery costs with digital download products they are a good choice to promote as most offer good margins.

Here are some prime resources for sourcing digital products:

1. www.paydotcom.com

2. www.clickbank.com

3. www.cj.com

There are other resources but the above sites are a great place to start for all types of fast selling digital download products.

*Step 3* Market to your target audience

Now you have researched your chosen market, and located great products you can sell, it’s time to reach out and grab those targeted individuals.

So how are you going to attract your hungry buyers at little or no cost?

You MUST reach your target market in a way that allows you still to make a good profit. There are many ways to achieve this (that is another book in itself) but I’m going to show you the most cost effective way to market almost any product or service online. In fact it is so cost effective it won’t cost you anything (just a little time set aside to complete it).

So what is this free method?

Articles. Yes… article marketing is THE most powerful way to attract ready made buyers to your site for little or NO cost. You basically write something that is informative and of interest to readers of your target market, then submit your articles to directories to get them published.

The links contained within your published articles will point back to your website and they will lead targeted visitors to your product. Articles can also be a major factor in giving any well optimized site higher rankings in search result pages.

*Step 4* Offer a very tempting low cost (or free) product

When someone visits your site you must offer a FREE or relatively low-cost product to ‘hook’ your potential buyer from the outset. The aim is to get the prospect to ‘buy-in’ to you, so that you can start to establish a business relationship. A getting to know you stage if you like.

Make your initial offer very difficult to turn down and at the same capture their email address so that you can follow up if they don’t buy the first time (1 per cent or less buy on their first visit to a website).

Once your customer has bought into your first product, this could be a free email course, a “How to” ebook, a mini report or a cheap $27 intro product, you must then begin to build up trust and offer more expensive products.

The only way you can make a long term profit, and make money online, is by building on that first low margin sale. After the first sale you then follow up by offering ever more expensive products each time.

As long as the products or services you offer are good and deliver what they promise, you will be giving value for money. That’s what we all want when we buy something. That is how all successful companies and individuals make a success out of their businesses.

*Step 5* Follow up and offer more expensive products

Repeat the process over and over again with successful products and services and drop the unsuccessful ones. These simple steps may seem really obvious but guess what, most marketers don’t do it.

When you follow up with your customers you should be offering them related products to their first purchase. Use an autoresponder to automate your communications.

Follow this simple 5 step formula, research your idea thoroughly and you will make money blogging.

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.

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!

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.
