The 3 most effective ways to monetize your blog

Today internet is full of multiple blogs making money in various possible ways. But among them one should choose the most popular ones to earn solid amount within a couple of months. Perhaps, you thought that now I will show the google adsense income as one of them. But on this point, not everyone is successful, as for making huge income one need to choose the most popular niche and get paid per clicks more than just a few pennies. So this article is related to the 3 most wide-spread money-making methods with blogging, not including google adsense:

1. Use your blog as an online place for expert consultations and then recommend affiliate products or services.
Do not try to simply advertise this or that product. Here the most important thing is to provide your readers with real valuable and interesting information that they need to hear from a specialist in this area. Therefore before starting any blog, sit down and think thoroughly in what field you are considered to be good, even if not expert. So after you have decided this main moment, then create your blog and choose products and/or services related to your niche. It would be better to choose those affiliate programs that will provide you guaranteed monthly residual income. But you would be better first to test the products yourself and then recommend them. In this way you will gain more credibility of your readers.

2. Create and sell your own info product.
This money-making method is the alternative way, if affiliate programs are not for you, though many people are making a six-figure income every year, just by selling others’ products. Today almost everyone who comes to the internet try to create his own info product, mostly e-book. So why do not you also try? If you think over your experience in this or that field, you will surprisingly discover how many areas exist in which you have some valuable knowledge or experience you could share with others and earn money for that. So why not format this information that can be useful for many people into a unique info product? After having created your own e-book, you can promote it with various methods online and get constant income from the sales. For example, you can sell it on your blog or website, if you have one, or you can promote it on others’ sites or e-zines.

3. Sell ad places on your blog.
Today selling places to various companies for putting their banner on your website or blog is one of the most popular ways to earn passive income on monthly basis. You think it is a very hard job to find the clients to willing to put their advertising on your website? Not at all! You need just huge traffic on daily basis. If you’ll have, let’s say only 100 visitors a day, then companies will themselves find and offer you to advertise their services.

How to Create a Profit Pulling WordPress Blog Today

The WordPress Platform has come a long way since the early days, so much so that you can now easily control every function of your WordPress Blog from an easy to manage WordPress Admin Dashboard ….

Install your WordPress Theme, Install your WordPress Plugin, Install Affiliate Products, Optimize your WordPress Blog.

Now if you have never used WordPress before you may be breaking into a cold sweat just thinking about this ….

Worry not, it is simpler than you may think….. I would suggest following the simple steps before you even start to think about the technical stuff.. now most would tell you get a domain name etc etc

Ok, that is half right, but if you follow the steps suggested below, then the likelyhood is you will get your WordPress Blog setup right – First Time ……

Step 1 – Research and choose a Niche

This is an important first step, this will get your creative thinking head on, just get a blank piece of paper and write down maybe 5 things that interest you. Once you have your list, then you can check how popular these ideas may be by using for example the Google Keyword Tool Anylazer…

Step 2 – Choosing your Domain Name

Choosing a Domain Name could be a two minute job, for example if you want to self-brand yourself, if so it would be a case of registering yourname.com

If you are looking to blog about a certain niche, then some basic research is required. I would also suggest you look to try and chose a keyword rich. For example, if you are blogging about Bonsai Trees then try and have this within your Domain Name.

Step 3 – Registering your Domain Name

There are many Domain Name Registers out there, I have used a few, over the last year I have used Namecheap.com for a number of reasons, they are reasonably priced, offer free WHOIS Gaurd to protect your Personal Details and with their money off coupons you can secure your Domain Name for under $9.00! . If you enter “”Namecheap Coupon Code – July 2009″” then you can save money on the cost.

Step 4 – Setting up your Webhosting Account

It is important you get this step right, I have in the past lost out with Webhost companies disappearing overnight and with it your websites and business. It can be personal choice who you decide to host with, I would recommend Hostgator.com, the reasons behind it they are reliable and cheap, offer 24-7 customer service and to help you get started you could get the first months hosting for only 1 cent!

Step 5- Updating your DNS Nameservers

This step is required to have your Domain Name Register, ‘point’ your Domain Name to your ‘webspace’ so when people type your WordPress Blog Domain Address into their Internet Browser, it will automatically go to where your WordPress Blog is installed. Your Webhosting company will supply your Nameservers Information – for example- ns1.yourwebhoster.com, ns2.yourwebhoster.com you would access ‘Transfer to Webhost’ in your Domain Control Panel and enter the Nameserver Information and Update. It can take up to 24 Hours to propgate the information and point to your webspace.

Step 6 – Installing your WordPress Blog

As I mentioned in Step 4 it is important to choose the correct Webhosting Company for your webhosting needs, one of the reasons being that they will supply a powerful function called ‘Fantastico De Luxe’ , so with a few clicks of your mouse you can have your WordPress Blog installed in under 3 minutes.

The steps above are just the start to creating your profit pulling WordPress Blog.

Five Blog Writing Tips Anyone can Implement

There are plenty of us out there who are blogging and looking to become the next authority blog, but to do that it’s going to take a lot work. One of the most important aspects of your blog is the content, and without useful content you won’t make it very far in the blogging world. You’ll need to be able to offer people that noone else can offer them and you can’t become like most bloggers and regurgitate information that is found everywhere else. I want to spend some time looking at some tips you can implement into your writing so you can assist your blog in becoming successful.

Unique Content

As a blogger one of the worst things you can do is steal content from somewhere else and claim that it’s yours. Not only is this wrong in so many ways, but chances are your readers will catch on eventually and you’ll be stuck with a blog that has no traffic and no resale value. You need to make your blog your own by writing the content yourself so that you can interact with your readers. To gather loyal blog readers the only way to go is by offering unique content that is new and useful as well as interacting with your audience.

Know Your Niche

I’ve seen hundreds of bloggers in hundreds of niches that don’t know what a niche is. If you create a blog to write about airplanes then you shouldn’t ever be posting about recent celebrity news in your blog. Your visitors found your blog because they want airplane information and not celebrity information so make sure you know your niche. It’s important to not only know your niche, but you need to know what you’re talking about. The worst thing possible for a blogger is when your readers start correcting your information because it’s wrong. Take the time to write one good post each day and if you have to spend time researching the topic so that you don’t look stupid in front of your readers.

Keep Readers in Mind

The blog that you’ve created has probably been created so that you can eventually make some money off of it. Before you can make any money off of your blog though, you need a loyal readership that trusts you. In order to gain a loyal readership you’ll need to offer content everyday on topics your readers want to read about. You need to consider the different ways your readers have found your blog and then write content on those topics that are popular. It’s important to write what the readers want to read and not what you want on your blog if you want to have a loyal readership.

Reply to Comments

When someone takes the time out of there day to make a meaningful comment on your blog then you should spend the time to reply to the message. It doesn’t take long to reply to a couple comments everyday and if you do reply then you’ll be showing you care about your readers. A lot of people who make comments will come back to see if it’s been answered so make sure you stay on top of your comments in moderation.

Work with Competitors

Once you’ve established who your competition is you need to become friends with them and share resources. There is plenty of competition out there so by teaming up with a few other bloggers in your niche you’ll have a slight advantage over some of the other bloggers. It’s important to gain relevant backlinks so by swapping links in blog posts will other bloggers in your niche is important. You should also become an active reader and commenter on your competitions blogs as you’ll gain backlinks from your comments.

Writing is a huge part of blogging and if you think you’ll be able to get away without writing much content then you have another thing coming. Blogging is all about being able to offer readers useful content to read on a daily basis, so before you commit to blogging make sure you’re ready to write lots of content. All of these tips can be implemented immediately as long as you have the time, but if you don’t have the time for this then I recommend leaving blogging along and stick with static websites.
