Start to Make Money from Your Blogging

After you have set up a blog, you simply can start writing, and look into the following 4 ways to make money from your work.

1. Article Marketing – If you like to write, you can make money through article marketing, which means you need to write articles that can generate traffic for your site. At the beginning, it will take your sometime to build up your audience base because your blog is new. And of course, your writing has to be quality focus.

Once you get that done, then you can move to the method 2 and in conjunction with method 1.

2. Text Link Ads – After you created amount of quality content to your blog, you can start to sell text links on your site. These links are non intrusive, and it is easy to implement, plus more people are likely to click on them because they want to know more about a particular subject. Because they are link based, so they won’t make your readers feel as if they have been inundated with advertising.

Some writers can earn upwards of six figures by simply adding text links to a variety of pages and post, or even a home page. You’ll get paid for the implementation and that’s about it, no fuss, no mess.

3. Banner Ads – If you’ve spent any time surfing the Internet, you’ve seen more than your fair share of banner ads. These small rectangular advertisements appear on all sorts of Web pages and vary considerably in appearance and subject matter, but they all share a basic function: if you click on them, your Internet browser will take you to the advertiser’s Web site. A banner ad is simply a special sort of hypertext link.

There are several banner ad networks (as brokers between advertisers and publishers) that you can look into to let you put up banner ads on your blog.

With this method, you can get paid in two ways. The first way that you’ll get paid is by how many views that you get on the banners. You will get upwards of 25 cents per one thousand views. Another way you’ll get paid is whenever anyone clicks the banners.

So check out the banner ad networks that specialize in a particular kind of site (the niche match with your blog content), as when you place the ads on your site, the make money process might become more effective.

4. Affiliate Marketing – The other method you will want to look at is affiliate marketing, you might familiar or hear many people talking about it. This option is as easy as recommending products and services that you already use and showing people where they can buy them via a text or banner link.

For instance, if you read books and review them, you can point people to an online store, they too can purchase and read books, and then you earn a commission.

Making money blogging is easy for anyone to get started with. It is true that there are lots of ways to do it. But if you never start a blog, and never do any writing, you will never see any kind of financial gain.

If you’ve wanted to start a new web project, consider starting today, and utilize the above methods to make serious online money.

In below this interesting infographic, you will see many information that based on the different categories, like 81% of us are using the Internet to check the weather, 71% of them are watching videos on Vimeo or YouTube, 39% of the adults still don’t bank online.

The data and information covers the PEW survey for the past three years on what adults are doing on the Internet.

Take sometime go through it, you might get some great ideas towards to your online marketing business or discover the best niche you want to go.

But who is it you want to attract with your communication? Who are you trying to appeal to? Who are the prospects that spend the most money? Who would be your best customers? Who are the people in it for the long haul? Who will give you a higher lifetime value? Who is that?

These questions are important to think about because in any given marketplace, not all prospects are the same, also not all of them are going to be your prospects.

Example, let’s say you want to approaching prospects group A and set them as your target, by doing this, you’re likely going to turn off another group B of the same marketplace.

Why?

I didn’t mean you can’t target Group B, I mean it is better to focus and concentrate target one segment Group A first, get it successes and then go for next group.

When you approaching your target group, you need to communicate with them, your communication goals and your messages have to be clear.

In terms of communication, it could be anything – it could be emails, a report, videos, articles and blog posts etc. It really doesn’t matter what format you use, as long as it can help you build connection with your market, it can be in any format.

To connect and get your communication deliver successfully, you can through share certain things about yourself, like tell a story with your marketplace, your prospects or clients to make them feel like they know you, to let them feel they connected to you.

No matter what kind of goals you are setting up, ideally, you want your prospects, your customers, your clients and people in your marketplace

• to feel that you care about them;
• you want them get value from the relationship with you;
• you want them know they are sharing common values with you;
• you want them to always be interested in what you’re doing;
• you want them buy-in to your philosophy; your position; your perspective;
• you want to put them in your marketplace, and
• you want to establish loyalty.

As long as you are getting clarity on your communication, sell more of your stuff and grow your business more etc are just time matter.

In some cases, it’s good to try to seek perfection.

For example, a doctor do surgery. It is your obligation to make sure that everything is as close to the perfect as possible, because after all, someone’s life could depend on you.

However, it is different in the business world. The reason is that even if you are an expert marketer, but how your products and service will impact the marketplace are almost impossible to estimate.

On the other hand, in the Internet marketing world, it is almost never do perfect simply. Why? – because you always testing the things out – sales page, capture page and etc, it will never be perfect. If you can get it to perfect, you will have everyone (100% of targeted traffic) comes to your site to sign up or buy things. But, most Internet marketing businesses can only claim between 5 and 30% conversions.

In the internet marketing, constant testing is the key to gain higher conversion rates. The more you refine your marketing pieces the better – you can always find what works and then retest endlessly.

So the better approach is just put something out there – anything – and analyze the feedback you get from it. As it said “Don’t worry about getting it right, Just get it Going”

In the world of Internet marketing, this is known as the “ready, fire, aim” approach. I like to think it like this – it’s easier to make decisions right after the fact than to make the right decisions.

Whatever you put out in the marketplace, you can always improve upon it later. But the first draft is always the worst, hope you already experienced it, if you did, then it is really good for you.

What I mean is, let’s say, you create a product that make you no sale in the first few weeks, you learn, tweak and improve your product, then gradually, you see on average, you can make one sale a week, and at the same time got some feedback from your customers. After that, you tweak elements of your sales page, your marketing schemes and the value of you offer, if you keep of doing this, you will find a way to make two sales a week. Then four, then eight. Eventually, through testing, you will find what works best.

To create and sell a product to a hungry crowd, there is a process needed, just do one thing at the time. If you want to create a product in as little as one day, you should check out the One Day Product Creation System.

Unfortunately, many people never ever create a product, even though they know that this is one of the best methods to making money on the Internet.

The reason for that is because they spend too much time perfecting their product, instead of simply finishing it and putting it out there.

You cannot make money on a product that is not for sale, but you can make money even on a product that is only 60% perfect if it is for sale.

For instance, you release a product and there is, got forbid, spelling errors in it, your business is not going to come crumbling down, simply correct the spelling mistakes, and then upload the new product. See, problem solved.

Forget about perfection – just make it good enough, get it out there, and then improve on it based on the feedback you get from the marketplace.

Take your time to understand the NUMBERS, there are too many ads and ‘GURU’ online that would lead one to believe that their conversions rate are close to 100%, but the true fact is not like that.

All marketing is a factor of numbers and the statistics have held for years.

A simple consistent MASSIVE action plan of telling your story to the target that wants to HEAR will assure success, so use One Day Product Creation System, it helps you get there faster.

Squidoo gives you the tools to make your own webpage within minutes, resulting in an attractive, functional and powerful page, which can get your message, point or ideas across to your audience, example, Webhosting Squidoo Lens.

It’s a vehicle in which you can deliver your pondering, self-written articles, thoughts, tutorials and whatever it is you wish to write. It is a platform from which you can categorise your interests, hobbies, favourites sites even your other online pursuits.

A blog, which is a term for “web log”, is a website in which the blogger makes entries called blog posts, generally listed in reverse-chronological order. As opposed to a static website, a blog is active because blog posts are made on a regular basis, earlier entries or post are archived. It has also been referred to, sort of, an online journal.

A Squidoo lens, however, is a single web page that made up of modules, by using those modules, you can create interactive web pages to engage with your readers. Those modules allow you to structure your lens on a particular topic, it is flexible, you can rearrange its display order as well.

* Poll module – you can survey your readers on various questions
* Duel Debate module – it allows your readers to debate a particular topic
* Quiz module – it enables your audience to test their knowledge on different subjects
* Prediction module – it gives your readers an opportunity to provide their predictions on a particular topic.

Generally several “modules” are needed but there’s a wide choice, advertising revenue is shared with Squidoo or you can give some/all to charity.

From what else I see, Squidoo has potential to go viral and quicker although it did get hit by Google a while back and still seems to be recovering, its worth doing both (Squidoo and blog).

Like any other website or blog, it needs promoting. I’ve found it reacts well to the usual stuff like articles, YouTube videos etc.

For the Links, you can directly point them to your affiliate sites (subject to some generous limits) or your own blog, or anywhere else you feel like.

If you do a search, you will find lots of free tutorials over the place, includes Squidoo itself, but do remember to double-check them out to make sure they’re up to date.

And be aware that they can – and do – change the rules so don’t rely on it as your primary site.

What I mean is that if you make your product offers sound too complicated, you’ll lose most of the orders you could have had. In the other words, you should explain your offer in rather simple terms that don’t scare away potential buyers. And you should always look to make your products and services as push button as you possibly as you can.

That’s especially important with software programs.

Do you know that there no one really cares about how your product works, they just want to know it does work, and they don’t have to do much to get the benefits that your product was promised to deliver.

Let’s face the fact, for the most part, people are feel insecure about their abilities, even when you show them proof that other people have done exactly what you’re showing them how to do, most people still hesitate because they don’t believe they can do it.

In other words, you need to put together “systems” people can just plug into and get results from. Like Willie Crawford’s Easy Push Button Traffic System.

Remember this:

Most people don’t want to know HOW to do something. They want someone who does know how to do something to do it for them so they can either promote your something as an affiliate or buy the rights to your something and sell it without having to put in any real work.

Here are the things to understand.

If you have time and you’re willing to do something constructive, you will always be in a position to make money from people who want the benefits of doing something without actually having to put in any real work.

What does that all mean towards of making money?

Ok, let’s say, you can create a special report, just like This One that shows people how to use list marketing to make money online.

Some people make obscene amounts of money by doing what I just talked about above. They trade a few weeks worth of work for $40,000-$50,000+ in bankable profits.

I remembered one time Allen Says wrote something about it in one of his reports…

“Any solution you come up with that makes it easy on people has a 100% better chance of selling than anything that requires them to work. The majority of people want things already done, and they will pay top dollar to have it done for them.“

So when you learn how to do something, ask yourself and find out if there’s a market of people who would pay to have that done for them or not. Sure, you might not always be able to come up with something good but sometimes you will.

By saying that, you may find this Where to Find Hot Product Ideas helps.

January 2nd is the day when all the business owners stop partying and start panicking about how they are going to grow and build their businesses into an even greater success this year.

No need to panic. Let’s kick off the New Year with an article from Dan, “The Man,” Kennedy –

Dan S. Kennedy is the provocative, truth-telling author of thirteen business books; a serial, multi-millionaire entrepreneur; trusted marketing advisor, consultant and coach to hundreds of private clients running businesses from $1-million to $1-billion in size; and he influences well over 1-million independent business owners annually through his newsletters, tele-coaching programs, local Chapters and Kennedy Study Groups meeting in over 100 cities.

In the article, he shares some dirt cheap ideas that you can use in your business to create “object” or “lumpy” mail that gets opened, gets peoples attention, and gets people to buy. I enjoyed this article. I know you will too.

“Grabbing” Attention – Cheap.
by Dan Kennedy

I like using “object mail” – with things called “grabbers” attached to or enclosed with sales letters – and this should not be a new concept for you. Unfortunately, a lot of business owners and entrepreneurs are too cheap to use many of the ones I get my private clients to use. So, when a party supply catalog arrived in my mail, and I glanced through it, I thought: here are some ideas even a penny squeezing cheapskate’ll love…

I have often used the “Silver Platter” letter in my marketing. This is where an inexpensive silver platter dish arrives in an envelope with the following message attached: as you can see, I’ve sent you this letter on a silver platter. Why? Because I will deliver ___________ to you on a silver platter, too!

But those darned silver platters cost too much, you say. Well, what about paper plates. They’re cheap. There are Happy Birthday paper plates, NASCAR paper plates, paper plates of every imaginable design. As you can see, I’ve sent you this letter on a “summer fun” paper plate. Why have I done this? Three reasons… etc.etc.

How about a swizzle stick? The little red and white striped plastic stick you stir coffee with. Can’t get cheaper than this. Throw a few in or tape one to the letter. Could be: ‘I’m here to stir things up” … .. or… . “I’d like to buy you a cup of coffee and take just 11 minutes of your time”…

Personalized table reservation cards:

Here’s an example how you can use this: Mary Roberts, You Are Seated at Table #4

“Dear Mary,

As you can see, I’ve attached a reserved seating card in your name to this letter.

Why? To invite you to sit at “the new dining room tables,” that just arrived at ABC Furniture. You can sit and an experience what it will be like having this quality crafted table in your own home while you and your husband are entertaining for the holidays.”

Or one of those “HELLO – MY NAME IS” sticker-badges. Your first name scrawled on it. It is stuck to the letter, or maybe even the outside of the envelope.

“Dear John,

If we met in person at the recent Jewelry EXPO, I’d have had this badge on. But I missed meeting you. A shame, because I have the most beautiful jewelry and gems you can take home to your wife to tell her how special she is… ”

Or a big pirate flag with skull and crossbones, that unfurls.

“Yoho, yoho, a pirate’s life you’ll lead — At ABC Menswear, our prices are so low… it’s like it is LEGALLY STEALING… in fact, our competitors call us a damned pirate… ..”

Need I go on.

This is how I think! How do YOU think?

When I get ANY catalog, when I prowl through ANY store or mall, read ANY magazine or newspaper, my antennae’s up, for ideas that can translate for profit. I think most people go through life, antennae down.

Anyway, you need to remember that direct-mail is salmon swimming upstream to spawn; it must survive obstacles and challenges along the way. It must be DELIVERED. It must then survive the A-pile, B-pile, C-pile sort. It must be OPENED. It must be READ. And we don’t often talk about this, but it must CAPTURE INTEREST AND IMAGINATION, it must ENTERTAIN; not to distraction, not so the “fun” overwhelms, but enough that the recipient/reader is engaged and feels good about the experience of handling, reading and considering it.

Getting, opening, and going through a direct-mail piece should be a good experience. When someone opens your envelope, it should be a rewarding experience.

This is THE advantage you have with direct-mail that does NOT exist with any other media. By all means, capitalize on it.
