Make Money Blogging

Have you hearth about make money blogging? If you have, then this might be not a new for you. If you go into the make money blogging, you will find there are a lot of bloggers mention that blogging a really can make money. Among them there you will find that whether they make additional income to feed their coffee or snack habit, or whether to a thing where they can be a full time businessman to make money from their blogging – there are hundreds of thousands of people who can make money blogging.

How to Make Money Blogging
Within this post I would like to share several points for newbie bloggers about how to make money blogging. For a really fast and wide visual introduction – read also our previews posts about make money tips which explain many the ways bloggers can make money.

Firstly, I want to share my own best Money Making Formula (will be updated regularly) but here is the point of a few great resources and guiding on how to boost your earnings from blogging.

This is is a brief summary of my basic income streams from blogging. Before you continue to read – remember that each website or blog is different each other relate to how it can generate income for the owner. All of these income streams are working on some blogs which the effectiveness is different on each different blog – the concept is to examine regularly and find out what works best for blogger.

The following income streams (from a number of blogs) have helped me to earn a six figure income each year for the last 5 years from blogging. I’ve ranked them from highest to lowest.

I hope you find it useful to see the mix and variety of ways that I earn a living from blogging.

1. AdSense
I user this income stream on my other blogs that consisting of thousands of posts / articles. I have those blogs set to publish image and text or words based advertisements and they are consisting of 250×300 pixel advertisements zone that work best. I do not focus on their ‘referrals’ program the advertisements are really work good for me and keep to be the greater money generator for me.


2. Affiliate Programs
I join many affiliate programs run my affiliate on my blogs – most of them generate smaller amounts of income which do not really authorize a specific denomination of their own (but for sure it can make additional income).
My best selling of one of their products is a product named Affiliate Launcher. I got the selling page from one of my best affiliate agent. I use also this product to increase my income, and in fact it is really works best for me to generate huge income for my affiliate business.

The good point about those programs is those affiliate businesses provide high quality products and I am being emailed from my followers who bought the product and thanking me for the suggestion to use the system! If you want to know more about the system, read this post!


3. E-Book Sales
Actually, I did not really selling any of my own e-book at all. But, within the last 2 years I have launched 4 E-books which these products sell for they of course increase my income and within a few months it has been my great way of getting extra income. The reason of why income stream is ranking the number 3 is because I did not do a product launch. This is a good one as I see it is growing as I created more E-books to my range.


4. Continuity Programs
This is the second largest category late for me, but it stays to grow.
Continuity of the system is a website where you can get a falling back income people who take the service.

For me, it has two websites. Both programs are account websites and make a monthly income of thousands of their members as part of them.


5. Private Ad Sales/Sponsorships
Sales of private advertising instantly to advertisers have accrued for me in previews year (previously classified as No. 3 in this list.) It is due in part to a change in my own home, but as well partly because of the economy as it is. I must stress that this zone varies somewhat from month to month based on the country, we are asked to run - we had a few months, when actually the number 2 spot in the last year.
It includes advertising sales of 125 x 125 advertisements here at a few of my blogs and a year or 2 at Digital School of Photography.


6. Chitika
Chitka still a good performer in my blog. They have always worked better on blogs related to products, including the ad their Premium now turned into a bigger blog.

While I focused less on chatting in the last six months (primarily as I published my own items and move away from promoting), they continue to do well when I apply them and the time I've been with Chitika they've now made me more than a quarter of a million bucks - a result I cannot recommend them enough!


 7. Amazon Associates
Amazon's affiliate program is one of my big drives in the past 12 months. I applied to get a few dollars of strange - but more recently has become an important job for me (actually now I did more than $ 100,000 when I began applying it). Christmas (and lead) is an especially good moment for the Amazon - in December last year would be # 2 in this list.


8. Speaking Fees
I am asked to talk much and increasingly are paid chances. I am not able to perform as much as I like - but I did two events in April and income was sufficient to include within this list.

Other Income
Besides the foregoing, there are many small incomes. Many of them are marketing programs unless I try, but none big adequate to really judge a note here.

Other money stream which can make real money was in the month of April with my book royalties. These are just paid each six months or so (not April). It’s likely also worth remarking which the authors usually do not make many money by copyright - is not writing books to get rich (unless you are selling a lot of them).

Valuable resources for bloggers to generate money blogging
Many have been composed about money online sites. There is much wonderful information there - but likewise many exaggeration and occasionally dangerous information.

Here are some articles I have written to explore some different strategies which bloggers can make money.

Blogging is Not Easy

Writing activity on the blog it has become a routine for bloggers. The authors may feel tired and bored when they are writing articles and posting it is not useful at all. That does not mean that you write an article on the blog is not interesting, but you probably can not extend your article with social bookmarking or social network. Like my blog, I always try to make a pretty good article and do not steal articles of people. But my article was not interesting to read, because the comments and the social bookmarking and social networks which I attach for ease of sharing my articles there is not much response lol.

Maybe it's just my basic assumptions. However I do not just assume, but I also always look at my blog visitor statistics reports contained on blogger.com features. Most visitors come from search engines, rather than social networks or social bookmarking. It has not netted much into my blog, I just can encompass tens of visitors to my blog from search engines. But my target is indeed able to put my blog on the first page of search engines, because most people use search engines to find some information.

But learn SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is not easy, so it is with blogging. Because blogs and SEO have a relationship in this case. Why do I say not easy to make a blog of the famous and much-loved person? Due to convince people of the articles we write on the blog is not easy. Especially when we want to start spreading our blog link, so many people are familiar with our blog.

Now, I don't want to write some tips or tricks. Because for me, you too bored to read all the tips and tricks about blogging and writing a good article. Things, that make you bored is, because you are very disappointed with all the things you read, because you can not use the contents of the article to guide you in techniques of blogging and SEO techniques. But there is one thing you should know, I think you do not need to be bored to read because the reading you will gain new knowledge about blogging and SEO. In addition, you also should not give up easily and get bored to create an article for a little or a lot of articles you write, if you know the points to be discussed and the topic of discussion in the article are general and attract much public attention, then your article will start was considered by the reader. So, do not give up easily to do blogging.

Blogging Like Making Swallow Nest


 Swallow feeding it childs in the nest
Have you heard about swallow? if you know about Swallow, of course you also know about the swallow nest. Have you ever thought what's special thing about Swallow? certainly, those of you who know about swallow surely know special thing about Swallow. You will spontaneously answer, something special that is swallow nest. Yes, it is the right answer, because the swallow nest or even a dirty look may seem disgusting for some people and look ordinary. However, it turns out swallow nest has a very high selling price. Which makes the swallow nest has a expensive selling price is to swallow saliva contained in the swallow nest.

Maybe you are confused, why do I relate blogging with a swallow nest. Actually this is a simple way of thinking that I use to create an article. Some of the bloggers might know about the privilege of swallow nest, but maybe the bloggers do not know for sure about relations of blogging to the swallow nest. Swallow nest only allusion I made to this article, the swallow nest is an allusion to an article or content that you created in your blog. You know the content is very important for your blog, but most bloggers have not been able to make great content as the master bloggers. Preparation of a sequential way the discussion is very good, eg the composition of the opening - the content - closing. However I do not want to discuss about the opening, contents, and closing the current article.

Let us continue to the discussion topic. You've written an article that you think it useful to read the article, but still the readers who are interested in reading your article? I think ever. You'll never know the selling price of swallow nest is very expensive when you see the swallow nest is usually visible even disgusting, but without knowing what use the swallow nest? surely you only suspect that the swallow nest is useless and only junk.

From here we start the discussion. We know swallow nest look ordinary, even disgusting because it mixes with the Swallow shit. You never know that the saliva in the swallow nest was very valuable, because you do not ever want to know more about the swallow nest. Similarly, when the articles you write, you think it's very useful but still could not attract the attention of the reader. Why readers are not interested in reading your article? because the visitors who come to lazy to read your article and do not want to know more about your article, but in the article that you write is stored on a core of very important and useful. You know, all things are very difficult to be presented to attractive for everyone. However, surely you know the title is an important impulse to the reader curious to read the contents of the article. Then you also have to make an opening paragraph or sentence that makes the reader curious about the articles you write.

I think you just need to change the strength of the title and opening sentence in your article. Because the core is usually always there on the contents of the article you created, and you also have to make an article that is easily understood by readers. So, make articles that have traction, not like the appearance of swallow nest. And make useful articles and has a very attractive value content, such as saliva that contained in the swallow nest.

Blogging Just Like Fishing

Have you ever been on holiday with your family or friends to a place that has a lake that is wide enough. Usually, if we're on vacation to a place that has a lake, maybe you will prepare a fishing pole for fishing in the lake. But what you think if it turns out the bait you are using does not quite attract the attention of fish, of course, you need to be patient to get the attention of the fish so the fish will eat your bait.


Fishing in the evening at parde island
Fishing is no different as it does when you are blogging. Blogging requires patience pretty well, so you can not easily give up blogging. I use metaphor to relate the blog with fishing, fish similar to visitors who came to your blog, whereas the bait is an article you created, and you are the author of an innovative blog that is always waiting for your article (your bait) many of which came and read it.

Actually, the process of attracting visitors is very simple, which is located on the quality of your article (your bait). How can the fish came and take your bait, not just to him. Because if the fish (visitors) just went to your bait is just the same as your articles are indexed in search engines, only seen by visitors but does not attract visitors to click on links directed to your blog. Whereas, if you can make the fish attracted to feed you and eat your bait, then it is similar to those in the search engine click on the link directed to your blog.

It is not easy to compete in search engines, but first sequence on the search engines are not always good. Rankings is not so very important, because the king is the content of your own. Maybe you make a simple article, but the title you use for your article is very interesting and in accordance with the wishes of visitors. So, visitors will be visiting your blog. Everyone needs to specify a topic for an article (type bait) in accordance with the wishes of the reader, you are not a magician (mentalist) who could read the thoughts of everyone. But we can use our analysis to compare the article's more attention, usually articles (bait) is good is the type of article (bait type) that is consistent with the wishes of the reader. Tertuis unique articles that can appeal to the reader to read each sentence of the article.

There are some extracts from an article I wrote above (maybe you already know it), that is:

1. Selection of article topics or in terms of fishing you have to choose the right bait. Selection of discussion topics is very important, so you can know which topics are most in demand by readers and are not interested.

2. Patience when optimizing visitors hooked to our blog, or in terms of fishing we have to patiently await the fish we hook. Patience is the main concern when you want to build a blog from start to success.

3. Trying to analyze the situation. You should be able to analyze what the article most in demand by readers. No matter when you are fishing, you must select the right bait to fish more easily provoked.

Work at Home Jobs for Moms 2: Blogging

 This is the second post in my work at home jobs for moms series. 




How much money can you make from online blogging?

There are thousands -- hundreds of thousands, maybe millions -- of "mom bloggers" who share their thoughts and ideas on their blogs. You're reading one of them right now. While most bloggers blog for personal enjoyment or to share their family news with friends, some do it to earn money. And of those who hope to earn from their blogs, only a small percentage actually succeed at building a significant or even part-time income from their work.

What sets the "earners" apart from the "non-earners"? I think there are a few things that increase your chances of making money from a blog:
  1. Niche: The theme or topic of your blog needs to be narrow enough that you have a definite focus, yet broad enough that you always have topics on which to write and a large enough audience who cares about the topic.
  2. Strategy: How will you make money from your blog while helping your audience? If every post is an overt effort to sell something or promote a paid review item, readers will lose interest and profits will be sparse. A good blog monetization strategy considers first and foremost what your audience is looking for and what you can do to help them get the information or things they need.
  3. Content: Good, original, useful information will draw readers, keep them coming back for more and cause your readers to share your posts through social media online. Dry, stale, redundant posts will have the opposite effect. As a blogger, it's your job to bring fresh, helpful, funny, interesting, or beautiful content to the table whenever you post. 
One of the first things you should do when you start a blog is to write down your plan for each of these three areas. What is your niche? What strategy will you use to earn money in this niche (adwords, paid advertisements, sponsored giveaways, affiliate links)? How will you produce good content for your blog?

To start a blog you need to do a few quick things:
  • Buy a domain name (this should be keyword specific, ie buysilveronline, not marksonlinesite).
  • Purchase a web hosting plan (I recommend using HostGator web hosting).
  • Install a blog platform (with HostGator, you can install a WordPress theme in a few minutes).
  • Start writing. 
The best resource I've found for beginner bloggers as well as more seasoned bloggers who want to increase their productivity and earnings is Amy Bass' blogging course. She has a free report on how she went from 0 to ,000 a month and how to replicate her success. Definitely check it out -- I love that she offers that for free so you can get started without spending a dime .. other than on web hosting, of course.

Once your blog is online, there are four important things you must do to get your blog off to a great start:

1. Create an "About" page. This is such a key part, but often overlooked by bloggers. Let your readers know who who are, why you're blogging, what ties you have to the topic, and what they'll find on your blog. For example, on my About page I introduce myself, include a picture, explain that I'm a work at home mom who is seeing online success and share my goals as well as topics I'll cover on the blog.

2. Use your blog's header to tell what your blog is about. The blog tagline should be descriptive and convey in a few words what your niche is. As you see, mine mentions "tips on maximizing online income while balancing work, home and family." Visitors get an idea right away as to what type on content they'll find on the blog.


3. Include a short bio of yourself on your main page. Mine is on the top of my left-hand sidebar right now, just a headshot and a caption to give readers a sense of whose articles they are reading when they come to my blog.


4. Find related blogs in your niche and network. Start by commenting on these blogs -- look for busy ones with great content -- and link back to your blog. Link to these blogs from some of your posts when something is especially interesting or helpful. Over time, ask if you can guest blog or if the other blog authors would like to exchange links. You can get some great traffic in the beginning by commenting on many other blogs and having readers follow your hyperlink back to your blog.

The answer to my question at the beginning of this post is ... top bloggers earn thousands every month, and even tens of thousands of dollars, just from one blog.Will yours be next?

Blogging for SEO (Satan Engine Optimization)

Probably from the title looks a little scary lol. But that does not means I optimize this blog with a devil, just call one of mammon. The devil this one does have the potential to be in control with the power of greed that has, so you will have prosperity and wealth, if you cooperate with the devil that greedy mammon.


Illustration of Mammon
Sorry I do not want to discuss about the agreement a contract with the devil mammon, but I want to discuss about a unique number in the blogosphere. I discuss these numbers is the number 6 (six), usually people consider this number is the number of Satan. Number 6 (six) is very mystical, sometimes six number could be a potential numbers that could give both of your blog. Six number are usually written in a blog title, eg "six ways to optimize a blog", "six ways increase revenue from the blog", and others.

Maybe you thought I was just making up all these stories, but the fact is that I often see bloggers insert a number six on the title of the article they make. Incidentally, I always visited a blog which is my favorite blog, I learned a lot from the blog and get a lot of good insight from the blog. But in this week I often see articles written by the title of which there including six number. Maybe this is normal, especially blogs that already have names and are well known and many have already acknowledged the existence of the blog.

Maybe six number can increase your blog reputation? Or maybe it had something to do with the contract with mammon to be mastered readers with very greedily. But, I think it's not funny if the blog author in working with the mammon to get success lol. Six number are mysterious, but the six number is nothing that can be said to have mystical and hidden mystery behind the success in blogging. Perhaps these six figures does have the power that could make the article look more attractive, so that they can master the search engines. SEO is very confusing if we do not understand the point that we learn from SEO. The essence of SEO is usually a selection of keyword (usually a keyword is inserted into an article), or usually the most supportive of SEO is the quality of a blog's content, because content is king (I am tired of hearing the sentence in bold is lol).

Actually, it is necessary to optimize your blog for SEO optimizing as well, but do not have to think about and look for an SEO article. Since there is only one thing, you should make an interesting article and very useful for the readers. Maybe you could use six number on each post, because the six may have a hidden magical power lol. Or maybe you need to work with your blog mammon demon endowed the power greedy to get more maximum income from your blog (just kidding). The point is to never doubt the content that you created, you just need patience to succeed in understanding the rule of SEO and search engine, and you never stop to write the article because if you frequently write articles then your blog will always look fresh because there are always new articles every day.

To write an article, you must create an idea and new ideas. So that our blog has a different style and delivery on articles we write. Someone will get bored if we are too fixated on the articles that have been widely circulated and we'd always follow what they write. That is what is sometimes a mistake you do not realize, why do not we create a new innovation when we make a ertikel to our blog. Surely we should imitate the writers who use sixes in his article, maybe six are special number that can help you to make your article more favorites. But we need to know that, insert a number of six articles that this is one of innovation and creative ideas the writers of blogs. Perhaps the number six is also the belle of the search engines (maybe). So, do not give up easily when any success, there are always things we can do to make old things into new and more visible meraik with innovations that you have, because sometimes innovation is always escapes one's mind (no matter how small the innovation).
