In the past few days I've been busy on working on a new niche blog that I think has potential. My time on the internet is limited, and before starting to "teach" new theory learned from others, I would like to put it in action
Furthermore, I havent been posting as usual because I realised that this blog is going under the wrong direction. The "make money online" niche is fun to talk about but also very competitive
It is competitive because there is money to be made in that niche, there are people willing to spend good money in order to make money online, and the products they get (most part) still dosen't show them how to make money online
There are 3 main (major) ways to make money online:
work for someone else, also known as an employee or slave. This is all the junk like completing legitimate surveys that pay you 1$ for 30 minutes and all other get paid to crap. Now some people are born to work for others, if youre one of them then good,
Other two ways is to have your own god dang blog or website.
You can make money with your website with social traffic ; that you need to do blog commenting 5+ hours a day and other social stuff like adding friends, etc, google adsense pays around 1 cent per click from social traffic because that's what it's worth. Social ppl are only here to hangaround and have 'fun'. Now if you want to chase social traffic if you want to do that then you need to work like 5 hours or more a day with social stuff. If you do blog commenting i suggest you spam comment like that ; hey nice blog post that was very helpfull and I look forward for your next one.. leaving your link. Or start forum discussions but to be honest this is far from the best way to make money (from what ive learned). If you want to loose your time chasing social traffic then read problogger with his stupid 31 days to build a better blog. Also note that darren rowse from problogger does not in hislef practise social marketing, he just teaches it.
Once you know how to make money online, you can make money by LYING to other people on how to make good money online, and in fact telling people the truth for free on how to make money online does not give anything else other than some fake "friends" that youll never see in your life. The popular people who lie to you on making mmoney online are : darren rowse from problogger - liar, John Chow- chineese liar, Yaro Starak - liar, and most other bloggers are also liars.
Again, telling people the truth about making money online for free does not make money in itself and holds no benefits
The best way to make money online is to have your site on search engines for terms that people are interested in knowing about, people that go on search engines want to solve a problem and they are willing to pay for it much more than social traffic. So I suggest you start looking into optimizing your site for search engine traffic, not social
And in terms of optimizing for search traffic, I discovered that my own blog - this blog is a failure for search engines but I didint know this at the time i started it. Now remember my early readers - myra and Chicamom - you could see the description of this blog was 'The kid who wanted to start a wealthy empire of sites on the internet without experience or such'. Well I am one step closer to this as I think I am understanding how to get high on search engines. As for this blog, it is a failure in terms of making money online, and I think that I will disband it (close it down) to make real money with other niche blogs and hubs. However, I feel sorry for chicamom and Myra , (although chicamom has a popular social type of blog I bet she is not making much $) - so anyway wanted to say that these two myra and chicamom you started blogging in same time as me, and i was willing te help you, and you somehow tried helping me aswell in that google forums cofee shop place. What I will do is work on my other niche blog that I'm starting (will report progress in 1 week) and then I will tell these two people how to make money online - (theres nobody else reading this blog anyway - at least i know why!) and after I tell them how to make real money online then I think I will close this blog for good
so anyway the steps ill take - ive been writing articles for a niche blog that I will launch in a few days and will report results in 1 week, then if it works and i think it hsould, i will let you know how to make money online, and this blog will probably be abandonned because its not in the right direction, cheers
edit ; and by the way, happy birthday Chicamom (anne) !!!!!!!
Hello, this is a brief post to inform you that the comments from the last 4 posts were not working. While the comment box appeared as usual, when one would leave a comment, there would be no afterwards message like - "your comment has been sent and await approval" and the comment would not get transmitted back to me.
This problem was probably due to the template change. It has been corrected now and should not be an issue again, sorry for the inconvenience, and if you had posted a comment/question or something then please post it back again and I will respond to the comments, thanks!
Do you want to know how to make money online while blogging on blogspot? Google's blogspot service is free to join and enables you to build numerous money making blogs. If you are a beginner in terms of starting a blogspot blogs or already have experience but are not making money out of it, then read on to get stated. If you've been reading Problogger, John Chow, or other popular "make money online with blogging" celebrities', I honestly suggest that you forget everything that you learned from them and learn the real basics explained here. Before creating the blog
First, head on to blogspot.com and create an account. Once you did that, you can then think about what kind of blog you want to make. Writing articles and blogging in general takes some kind of dedication and a little effort for writing content (articles), therefore I suggest that you think carefully about the topic that you'll write about before even creating a blogspot blog. A good idea would be to make your blog about something you enjoy discussing or your passion as you will be much more motivated to keep on writing and pushing your efforts while earning money, althought not necessary to pick a subject that you like, given that you have a strong will to write and make money.
The title and subdomain name (www.yourblogname.blogspot.com) of your blog should include the keyword you are targetting, the more precise the better. For example, if you are blogging especially about "xyz" brand of laptop then it will come much easier to rank high and faster in the search engines than just "laptops". So when creating your blog, try to get the keyword in the domain nam - for example www.xyzlaptopreviews.blogspot.com , or if it is taken then perhaps www.xyz-laptop-reviews.blogspot.com or something along the lines, just remember to include the keyword in the subdomain name of your blog because it will be much easier to get into the search engines. You should also include they keyword in the title of your blog aswell as description.
When coming at the template style, pick a light background blog template, two good ones would be the minima template or denim template but others can be used as well.
So now you haven't written anything yet in terms of content, but already start with an advantage for the keyword you are targetting for search engine rankings. ps- I will explain how to monetize your blog at the end. Now the factor that makes you properly rank in search engines is
You should start building your own backlinks, or ask for some at last. Do not trade links with other bloggers, ie.you linking to them, them linking to you, as this will not help much. Instead you can write articles on sites like squidoo, ehow, ezinearticles , goarticles , etc... the more links your blog gets, the more authority it will gain on search listings
write articles on these sites and then put a backlink to your blog with keyword text that you are targetting, in our case "xyzlapops" or "xyzlaptopreviews". You should put one backling to your blog's home page and another directly to an article in your blog for every article that you write on these sites. Note that the article you write on these sites should also be related to your niche.
On your blog, every article you write should be related to your niche, ie. do not get tempted to put a blog post about your cat or you will loose somewhat authority. Furthermore, you should regurarly incorporate keywords into the title of your posts, tags, and use them a few times as well as synonyms of your keywords through out the text.
Do not "keyword sutff" your articles, meaning to put your keyword too many times in your article. Once a worker of the google anti-spam team comes across that article, he will click on his deindex button, and your blog will be sandboxed, all your positions in search engines will be lost. Furthermore, I also suspect that he will blackmark your blogger account and your other blogs might also suffer from this.
Another thing to avoid is selling links, or buying links... at least publicly telling people that you are. This is against the terms of service of google, you cannot sell your pagerank. I find it funny when people publicly blog about how they sell links and then they suddenly see their blog drop to pagerank 0.
Lastly and also least, do not waste your time doing that social media stuff, twiiter, facebook, blog commenting = waste of time. What the blog celebrities like John Chow, Problogger etc, are doing is making you turn round in circles till you've spent all your money on their "latest" products. Social media traffic has sometimes been good in rare and lucky cases, but if you want to make the most out of your time, dont bother with it. Traffic on twitter, facebook, etc dosen't even compare in terms of quality with search engine traffic... I will be writing more on this later but trust me on this for now
Monetizing your blog.
Now once you have started doing some of the above, it is time to monetize your blog. I suggest you join google adsense as it works pretty well for most niches. If you have been banned from adsense then a good alternative is Chitika Premium.I have just started using it, as it works well reportedly for targeted search engine traffic, I will keep you updated on my personal results with it. Another good thing to join are affiliate networks. I think that Commission Junction is the best one to join, you might have never heard of it because they offer no referral incentive and nobody is recomending it - but I am part of it and I can tell you that it has a pretty wide range of services and products. Another large affiliate program to join is clickbank, this one is specialized in ebooks, those "get what you want easily and fast" ebooks, but the truth is that they sell somewhat.
Well that was it for today, this brief guide was meant to put you on the right track to make money online using blogspot. This blog post was only meant to be a brief introduction, I will start getting into details on later posts, make sure you don't miss them out - do yourself a favor and subscribe!
Hello everyone! a little time back ago I was writing about my search engine traffic experiment and I can say it has been a success!
For one thing, I have helped one of my readers achieve number 11 ranking on the google search engine for an article by targetting a keyword term receiving more than 600 searches a month. The article she wrote was I think between 300 and 450 words, and after one week that I checked her position again, she came to an impressive 7th place in the search rankings! To note that I asked her to write her article on Hubpages since it has a strong pagerank and thus, better chances to eat the top 10 search rankings for that keyword than her pagerank n/a blog.
And by the way, my traffic has dropped a lot again due to the lack of posts written to appear strategically in search engines... I believe that concentrating your efforts for writing posts that will appear in search engines is much better than blog commenting.
So anyway, I am pursuing this experiment again, last time it looks like only Myra experimented it with he Hubpages account, this time I will offer the first three people or so a chance to rank in the top 10 of google for keywords that receive between 100 and 800 searches a month (low competition so easier ranking). The point of this is that if it takes you 30 minutes to 1 hour to write a post that will get in top 10 of a keyword that receives let's say 500 searches a month and 100 unique visitors to your site, then you can write these kinds of posts over and over, getting visitors on cruise controll, and that my friends I think is the key to making money online. There's more that I would like to say about it but that's about it for today.
So anyway, to participate in this experiment to get your hubpages post (ehow and squidoo works too) or blog post in the top 10 for a set keyword, then tell me you blog's adress here, and I will give you the exact instructions of how your post should be, what title to use, what labels/tags to use, when to repeat the keywords in the text, etc. I will do this for first 3 or so people that request it here, and will post instructions to your blog's comments section.
Just for your curiosity, I got Myra's article in the 7 position of google last time for a term with 600+ searches a month, and btw Myra, I'll be glad to help you do it again for another article, just post here. So anyway thanks for reading and you can subscribe by email if you don't want to miss out part three! Good luck all!
