One of the major roadblocks you might be facing right now is
getting into the mindset that you can be a "blogger." You've
probably read many blogs in your time online, but you might not
have ever thought that you could run one (or several!) yourself.
I want you to stop thinking like that right now, because anyone can
be a successful Niche Blogger.
Take my mom, for instance. She is a 50 year old, single woman
raising a family. She knew NOTHING about making money online until
she saw the success that I was having.
Money was tight for her, so she asked me to show her what I was
doing. I got some material together for her and modeled some sites
for her.
Before she knew it, she is now a successful blogger making money
with her blogs. If my 50 year old mother can go from nothing to
expert blogger in such a short amount of time, you can too!
The fact is that the only real skill you need to have to become a
successful blogger is the ability to write content. This content
doesn't need to be pulitzer prize winning either!
It simply needs to be interesting and relevant to your target
audience. If you really hate to write, don't have the time, or
speak English as a second language you can even outsource this part
of the task. There is literally nothing holding you back from
becoming a successful blogger online.
Part of what the Niche Blogger http://www.TheNicheBlogger.com
teaches you is that it's okay to take baby steps to achieve your
goals.
We celebrate the success of a member who makes their first 1 cent
as much as we celebrate the member who makes $1000! My goal is to
help you achieve YOUR goals, no matter how big or small they may be.
The fist thing you need to do is think of yourself as a blogger. It
doesn't matter whether you've never set up a blog before, or tried
and just weren't successful, you will be successful this time.
This time you're going to have completely step-by-step strategies
that really work. You're also going to be among people who are in
the same boat as you. Together, you're going to move from the
thought that "I'm not a blogger!" to "I am a successful niche
blogger!"
The great thing is that your success will be scaffolded along the
way. If you're just starting out now, there are several members of
The Niche Blogger who have been doing this for a while.
That means you'll have constant access to people (including me!)
who can answer any questions you have and hold your hand if you
ever get stuck. You can consider this your blogging apprenticeship
program where you'll learn all you need to know to make money
online.
Join The Niche Blogger http://www.TheNicheBlogger.com today to get
access to the training blog, guided videos, and an incredible
community full of support and encouragement. This is your path to
finally earning the income you deserve for your hard work.

Can Blogging Lead to Passive Income?
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to just take you kids to the park
right in the middle of the day, only to come back and find that you
made 3 sales while you were gone?
That's the beauty of passive income. Niche Blogging is an amazing
way to get this passive income going for yourself!
Having passive income has literally changed my life. I know that I
could take a break away from the computer for a week, come back and
my blogs would still be earning income for me!
It's a beautiful thing to get to set your blogs up and have them be
your 24 hour sales-people.
That is what makes blogging perfect for:
Stay at home moms or dads
Retired people
People trying desperately to leave the "rat race"
People trying to save up for a special vacation
People trying to pay off debt
The beauty of blogging is that your blogs are always there. It
doesn't matter whether someone is searching for information in your
niche at 2 in the morning, your blog will be there.
When they decide to buy a product through your link or click on
some Adsense ads, it will be there earning you money at all hours
of the day or night.
Now, you will need to work hard at first to get your blog up and
running. After that, you'll just need to do some light maintenance
work to keep things going.
This business model can become quite hands-off in the later stages.
That means you can build more blogs to have your own virtual empire!
So, why isn't everyone succeeding with their blogs? That's easy!
Many people set up their blogs the wrong way and set themselves up
for failure instead!
The majority of new blogs out there fail, in fact. But you're going
to be different because you'll have The Niche Blogger -
http://www.TheNicheBlogger.com
I use a sure-fire strategy to make sure you don't give up on your
blog before it really starts generating some income. This strategy
requires a lot of work while you're motivated, but then you can
just watch and see what happens. You can move onto the next blog
and really start to build your online income to new levels.
Imagine this: A few years down the line you have 40 different blogs
going. One of them has always been a nice little earner for you,
and several of your posts are at the top of the search engines for
the keywords you've targeted.
One day, a guy is looking for a recommendation for an acne cream,
and stumbles upon a post you wrote 2 years ago. Because you've
formatted the ads on your blog the right way, you make a sale!
Now, if you think about all the blogs you have out there, and all
the different pages with ads on them, and all the people out there
who are searching for what you're selling on a daily basis, can you
see how you WILL make money with blogging?
It's my mission to help you set yourself up for success, and

How to Make Quick Money Using the Internet
There are many different reasons why you might need quick money. It might be that your car broke down or you just want a special treat for your family. No matter what your reason is for needing money fast, it's a good thing to know that you can get it!
The Internet provides many opportunities because it is so possible to make money online. It is amazing that so few people realize just how possible it is! Choosing your method is the first step on the way to earning an online income.
Method #1 -- Provide a Service to Businesses
The first method is to offer some kind of service to businesses. There are many out there that are looking for people to drive traffic to their websites and to write articles for them.
This is a good option if you have studied a little bit about Internet marketing and know how to do these things. You'll probably earn a fee per hour or per job depending on how you make arrangements.
Method #2 -- Affiliate Marketing
Many companies spend a lot of money on advertising. Part of this advertising budget includes paying affiliates to send traffic to their website.
You can promote products with your affiliate link and earn a commission of the sale. There are even some affiliate companies that pay right away through PayPal so you don't have to wait for your money! Getting money quick through affiliate marketing is definitely a good thing.
Method #3 -- Selling Your Own Information Product
If you are able to quickly create an e-book or other kind of information product, you can make quick money. You can simply drive traffic to your website through Pay Per Click and begin earning money right away.There are more options other than these, but they will help you get started.
One of the common threads these methods all have is that they are all made possible through blogging!
You can blog about your services and even create a sales page on your blog to entice companies to hire you.
You can add articles to your blog that include links to products you are promoting as an affiliate. You can also sell your own information products through your blog to earn money quickly.
Learning how to blog does not have to be a roadblock. All you need to do is choose a tutorial that will eliminate all the guesswork for you. I recommend The Niche Blogger, created by Amy Bass.
This is hands-down the most supportive tutorial because there are videos and text to help you get your blogs up and running fast. There is also a great and large community that stands behind its members to help that money come in even faster.
Getting started as soon as possible is the best way to make quick money! Don't delay because money really does like speed.

How to Acheive Realistic Income Goal$!
One of the most important things you can do in building your online
business is to clearly define your income goals. You need to know
exactly where you are with your online income right now (even if
it's 0) and know exactly where you want to go.
It's kind of like planning a family vacation! You need to know
where you're going so you can plan the most direct route to get
there.
How much do you want to make from your niche blogs? If you could
get each blog earning $10 a day (easier than you think!), how many
blogs would you create?
The thing I want you to know is that it's entirely possible to
create this kind of income. A mere 10 blogs and you're making $100
a day (perhaps more!) That would replace the salaries of many
people I know who work full-time outside their home.
The great thing is that once the blogs are up and running you just
need to do some maintenance work, but they quickly become part of a
passive income stream.
I suggest that you write down your daily income goal and tape it to
your computer monitor, mirror, or on the dashboard of your car
(where you'll see it on your way to work- that's even more
motivation!)
Make the goal believable, because then you'll naturally start to
take actions that lead you toward this income goal. It might be
that you want an extra $10 a day. Perhaps $200 a day is what you
need to change your life.
The number you write down on that piece of paper is entirely up to
you.
You might even want to declare your goals to friends or family
members. This will make it even more real and give you more
motivation to succeed with your blogs.
I want you to know that it's entirely possible to meet these goals.
In fact, you might meet it so quickly that you need to crumble that
one up (or frame it!) and write an entirely new goal.
It can be hard to focus on your goals if you're easily distracted
or if you lose your motivation.
That's another thing that is great about The Niche Blogger -
www.TheNicheBlogger.com
We have an excellent community full of different people who have
different income goals.
We all work together to achieve our life's dream. The community
spirit is absolutely incredible, and we want you to be a part of it
too. I want to help you reach that number that's on your piece of
paper.
You see, trying to choose your own path involves a lot of trial and
error. I've gone through the trial and error for you, and presented
it in an easy to understand and implement manner.
All you need to do is follow the path I've laid out, become a
member of the community, put in some elbow grease and you'll reach
your income goal faster than you ever dreamed.

Business Idea: Blogging for Profit, No Previous Experience Required
Blogs – it seems like just about everyone has one.
If you don’t know what a blog is, it comes from the phrase “web log”, which is an online diary or journal of sorts. People have all kinds of reasons for starting a blog. They may do it for fun, because they love writing or just to have an outlet to express their thoughts, vent frustrations and more.
But you can make a blog into a money-making business, even if you have no blogging or business experience.
How to Get Started
You can actually start your blog completely for free. There are services like Blogger.com and Wordpress.com that make it super easy. But note, John Yeo, profitable blog and creator of the
Blogger’s Paycheck recommends that those seeking profit should Wordpress, but in a different way than is explained at Wordpress.com and he goes through it in detail in the course.
How to Make Money with a Blog
Simply put, pick a theme or major topic for your blog and start writing. Even if you have no product of your own, you can still make money from your blog by selling and displaying advertising, earning commissions recommending products and other activities. This is also something John Yeo covers in detail.
What if You Don’t Like to Write
Many people think they can’t blog if they don’t enjoy writing or feel they aren’t talented writers, but that shouldn’t stop anyone. A blog is about sharing thoughts and you don’t have to be an award-winning writer to do that. In addition, the growing popularity of online video and audio open up more possibilities for sharing content. You can also hire a ghostwriter if you want a text blog and want to avoid writing.
The Keys to Profitable Blogging
To profit from blogging, there are a few key ingredients:
1. Target a highly interested audience of readers who happen to be consumers. In other words, people who readily spend money to pursue their hobbies, interests and desires that you’ll be writing about.
2. Create interesting content that people are readily looking for, that they’ll talk about to their friends and come back for over and over again.
3. Sign up for the Blogger’s Paycheck course that will take you through setting up your blog, building traffic, making money and more.

Why it’s Impossible to Make Money With Blogs.
I was a little surprised this morning when, after I’d given a talk on business blogging, a seminar attendee asked if I’d seen the Newsweek article this week on why it’s impossible to make money with blogs.
“Guess I’ll give it all back, then,” was my off-the-cuff answer.
But out of curiosity, I picked the mag up on the way back to my room. If you haven’t seen it, Daniel Lyons, a talented blogger known for two years as “Fake Steve Jobs,” has an editorial that explains why none of us can make money blogging.
Big traffic, no money
Fake Steve Jobs’ best month came with a traffic spike. His actual identity was revealed in the New York Times, sending more than a half-million people to his site in a single day.
His payout? For that half-million-visitor day, about a hundred dollars in AdSense earnings. For the entire month, he made $1,039.81.
Not quite what he was hoping for when he became a celebrity blogger and earned an impressive amount of attention and notoriety.
So if Fake Steve Jobs can’t monetize a blog, the rest of us are doomed, right? He worked hard, he created quality content, he had a terrific angle that went nicely viral. He was at the pinnacle, and he’s broke. So we will be too.
It must be true, he said it in Newsweek.
I learned the hard way: while blogs can do many wonderful things, making huge amounts of money isn’t one of them.
The expert weighs in
The article then tapped another source for a little expert credibility, Paul Verna, an analyst with eMarketer.
Verna’s take was that the real issue was “the lack of a clear business model that can generate substantial revenues.”
Verna’s on the right track, but we’re still a long way from the core problem.
If your business model is “I want to make money on the Internet,” you’re not going to get very far. The Internet is profoundly indifferent to your desire to make money with it.
Please notice that this does not mean that “there is no possible viable business model for any blog, other than a few fortunate exceptions that prove the rule,” which was the conclusion Lyons reached.
It just means that Fake Steve Jobs didn’t come up with a working business model, so he didn’t make any money.
Blogs are not television
I’ll confess, I have no idea how to monetize Fake Steve Jobs. His readers aren’t coming to his site to solve any kind of real-world problem, other than “how can I kill 10 minutes before my boss gets back from lunch?”
Television networks produce entertainment. They either make money from advertising or, for premium cable channels, from subscriptions.
If you want to watch Lost, you have to watch ads. Tivo dented that model considerably, but it still works well enough for now.
Advertising can work on some content web sites, but it usually works best when the reader is coming to the site to figure out a solution to a problem. If an ad presents a relevant solution to that problem, the ad can be effective.
For a complex bunch of reasons, advertising isn’t especially effective on most blogs. Unless there’s a terrific message-to-market match, ads on blogs tend to underperform wildly.
If you want to make money in the real world, solve real problems
Too bad Lyons wasn’t a Copyblogger reader. He might have seen Brian’s post about the smartest monetization strategies for blogs and content sites, and why advertising is no longer on that list.
It’s not about trends in advertising or trends in the blogosphere. It’s about returning to a fundamental marketing truth.
If you don’t offer customers something they dearly want, whether it’s to gain some great pleasure or escape some great pain, you’re not going to make any money.
People do want entertainment and relief from boredom, but selling pure entertainment online is tricky. Right now the expectation on the web is that entertainment is free. You’ll have to get creative to escape that context, the same way musicians had to get creative to make a living when free music sharing became the norm.
It’s time for online business to grow up
For a long time, we believed that “online was different,” and that we didn’t need to accept any of the normal rules of business. We’d put something on the web and Magic Internet Dust would come along and make up for our total absence of business knowledge.
“Leap, and the net will appear,” was the mantra.
That sort of worked for awhile, but it doesn’t work now. If you don’t have a solid understanding of who your market is, how they’ll find you, and what problems you solve for them, it’s now “Leap, and the floor will appear.”
So focus on what does work now, and has always worked.
Provide value. Solve actual problems. Uncover what’s bugging people and fix it for them.
The real Steve Jobs sells beautiful, easy-to-use, loveable tools that make his customers’ lives better. If Fake Steve Jobs wanted to make money, he would have had to do some work to figure out how he could do the same.
“Guess I’ll give it all back, then,” was my off-the-cuff answer.
But out of curiosity, I picked the mag up on the way back to my room. If you haven’t seen it, Daniel Lyons, a talented blogger known for two years as “Fake Steve Jobs,” has an editorial that explains why none of us can make money blogging.
Big traffic, no money
Fake Steve Jobs’ best month came with a traffic spike. His actual identity was revealed in the New York Times, sending more than a half-million people to his site in a single day.
His payout? For that half-million-visitor day, about a hundred dollars in AdSense earnings. For the entire month, he made $1,039.81.
Not quite what he was hoping for when he became a celebrity blogger and earned an impressive amount of attention and notoriety.
So if Fake Steve Jobs can’t monetize a blog, the rest of us are doomed, right? He worked hard, he created quality content, he had a terrific angle that went nicely viral. He was at the pinnacle, and he’s broke. So we will be too.
It must be true, he said it in Newsweek.
I learned the hard way: while blogs can do many wonderful things, making huge amounts of money isn’t one of them.
The expert weighs in
The article then tapped another source for a little expert credibility, Paul Verna, an analyst with eMarketer.
Verna’s take was that the real issue was “the lack of a clear business model that can generate substantial revenues.”
Verna’s on the right track, but we’re still a long way from the core problem.
If your business model is “I want to make money on the Internet,” you’re not going to get very far. The Internet is profoundly indifferent to your desire to make money with it.
Please notice that this does not mean that “there is no possible viable business model for any blog, other than a few fortunate exceptions that prove the rule,” which was the conclusion Lyons reached.
It just means that Fake Steve Jobs didn’t come up with a working business model, so he didn’t make any money.
Blogs are not television
I’ll confess, I have no idea how to monetize Fake Steve Jobs. His readers aren’t coming to his site to solve any kind of real-world problem, other than “how can I kill 10 minutes before my boss gets back from lunch?”
Television networks produce entertainment. They either make money from advertising or, for premium cable channels, from subscriptions.
If you want to watch Lost, you have to watch ads. Tivo dented that model considerably, but it still works well enough for now.
Advertising can work on some content web sites, but it usually works best when the reader is coming to the site to figure out a solution to a problem. If an ad presents a relevant solution to that problem, the ad can be effective.
For a complex bunch of reasons, advertising isn’t especially effective on most blogs. Unless there’s a terrific message-to-market match, ads on blogs tend to underperform wildly.
If you want to make money in the real world, solve real problems
Too bad Lyons wasn’t a Copyblogger reader. He might have seen Brian’s post about the smartest monetization strategies for blogs and content sites, and why advertising is no longer on that list.
It’s not about trends in advertising or trends in the blogosphere. It’s about returning to a fundamental marketing truth.

Make Money Online Blogging With A Niche Blog
Did you start your blog to make money blogging or to share a passion without any plans to make money with your blog? Since you are reading this make money blog, I think I can safely assume you are blogging to make money. Starting a make money blog to make money blogging is a big mistake since a make money blog is one of the most difficult and competitive ways to make money blog with a blog.
That’s also one of the main reasons why so many bloggers who start make money blogs fail and give up. A better way to go about to make money with your blog is to start a niche blog with other topics and not a make money blog. If you can find a niche that is also your passion, then good for you. But mostly, if your objective is for your blog to make money, then you need to put passion aside to find out on what people want and focus on meeting that demand.
It’s pointless to start a niche blog about something that no one except you is interested in. You can use your personal interests as a starting point to search for a niche by using free online keyword research tools such as WordTracker and Google Keyword Tool.
See how many searches there are for a particular topic and see if there are any advertisers when you key in the term to do a Google search. If there are many advertisers spending money to sell products and services in your chosen niche, it means there is substantial interest.
You can then use this basis to start your blog to make money and monetize your blog in a variety of ways and effectively turn it into a make money blog. For example, you can sell advertising space on your blog, sell affiliate products by blogging about them.

How to Earn Money by Blogging - The Simple Guide
If you want to learn how to blog, there are some certain things you need to put into consideration. It is possible for you to create money online using niche blogs. You can easily create your own blog and start earning residual income for yourself online. If there is a niche you have in mind it will be better if you focus on that particular niche till you have done well with it, after that you can then migrate to another lucrative niche.

To earn bigger money you need an idea that will outdo other marketers. Blogging requires time and effort in order to test and learn new things.

WordPress Blogging and eBay
One of the advantages of having a blog is that you can monetize that blog with eBay. eBay has an affiliate program, called the eBay Partner Network. If you are a member, then you can earn money by referring people to buy things on eBay. The details can be found at the eBay Partner Network site. But basically, once you are approved, any visitors that link from your site (in this case, blog) to eBay, and make a purchase, cause you to earn a percentage of the fees that eBay makes on the transaction.
An advantage of having a WordPress blog, specifically, is that WordPress supports plugins that make it easy for you to configure your blog to do many things that would be difficult if you had to code them yourselves. You can easily install a plugin (with literally, just a few clicks), and upgrade your blog with all sorts of features.
One plugin that is particularly useful for folks who are trying to monetize their blog with affiliates is called "KB Linker". KB Linker allows you to create linked pairs: a keyword linked to a URL. For example, you could tell it to link the word "articles" to EzineArticles.com. Then, any time the word "articles" appears in your site, it will be automatically hyperlinked to EZA. Even articles that you've already written and published will instantly contain the new links.
So, the way you combine WordPress and eBay is to use KB Linker to assign keywords to your eBay Partner Network affiliate links!
You can create a list of keywords on your site, specifically items that might be found on eBay, and link them to eBay. For example, let's say you have a blog about gardening. Think of any items on your blog that might be sold on eBay: garden trowel, clogs, watering can, hose nozzle, etc. You then use KB Linker to link each of those words (or phrases) to your eBay affiliate link, sending them to the eBay page with garden trowels, or clogs, or watering cans (depending on what they clicked).
eBay affiliate links are long, and made up of several parts, such as your affiliate id, tracking ids, search terms, etc. There is a free tool to create your list quickly at eBay Link Tool. You can download a tool that lets you input your affiliate id, tracking ids, and keywords, and it automatically generates the keyword/link pairs in the format that KB Linker can use.

Reasons Why Passion is Important in Blogging
In real life, passion is the essential reason of achieving things and doing them over a long period of time. A lot of great achievers do excel in areas on which they have great interest. Despite of hardships and shortcomings, these achievers are willing In real life, passion is the essential reason of achieving things and doing them over a long period of time. A lot of great achievers do excel in areas on which they have great interest. Despite of hardships and shortcomings, these achievers are willing to suffer and endure things just do the things that they are passionate about. They don't mind whether other people do appreciate their work but they simply do care about doing what they love.
Blogging requires hard work, whether you blog to share your life or to earn money. Blogging needs you to write a lot about the topics that you want to share with your readers. You need to spend time in social networking to promote your blog and to improve traffic on your blog. You need to monitor your blog statistics to improve your blog site. There are times that you need to research and dig deeper about the topics you are to blog to come up with an interesting blog content.
Blogging is not an easy task. You need to do a lot of tasks to start and to maintain your blog site. And if you will do these tasks over a period of time without passion, you will likely lose your enthusiasm and your blog will soon be dead and will not achieve its purpose.
Here are the reasons why passion is important in blogging:
Passion will make your readers understand you more
Your writings reflect you - whether for personal blogging or business blogging. If you have passion on your writings, your readers can easily understand where are you are coming from. You can easily transcend your message to your readers simply because you are sincere on your writings.
Passion will make your content more sensible
Having passion for a certain thing will make you dig deeper about that topic. You will spend more time in researching and understanding the real essence of it. You will not settle for mediocre, simply because you have in you a lot of things that you can share with about your topic.
Passion will make your blog stand out
Internet is flooded with blogs. More likely, the topic that you chose has been blogged by someone else in the past. The only way that you can gain loyal readers is by giving them quality content. If you are passionate and knowledgeable about your topic, you can share more to your readers and will make your blog to stand out in the blogsphere.
Passion will make you grow on learning
There is only one thing that will happen as you blog after several weeks or months, you will grow. It's either you will grow on learning things or you will grow tired of blogging. If you love what you are doing, you will not grow tired of it. It will give you satisfaction and will want to learn and to explore more.
Passion will keep you blogging more
Some people do not merely blog to express themselves but to achieve certain goals too. There would be times that you will soon get tired of the tasks you are doing. When enthusiasm dies, you might likely grow colder on your writings. If you are passionate about blogging, you can always write about the same topic over and over again, but seeing it in a new way.
Blogging is a tedious task but not if you're passionate about what you're writing. Take a dose of passion in your blogging to help you survive in the blog sphere. You will never get over-dosed with it.

Your writings reflect you - whether for personal blogging or business blogging. If you have passion on your writings, your readers can easily understand where are you are coming from. You can easily transcend your message to your readers simply because you are sincere on your writings.
Passion will make your content more sensible
Having passion for a certain thing will make you dig deeper about that topic. You will spend more time in researching and understanding the real essence of it. You will not settle for mediocre, simply because you have in you a lot of things that you can share with about your topic.
Passion will make your blog stand out
Internet is flooded with blogs. More likely, the topic that you chose has been blogged by someone else in the past. The only way that you can gain loyal readers is by giving them quality content. If you are passionate and knowledgeable about your topic, you can share more to your readers and will make your blog to stand out in the blogsphere.
Passion will make you grow on learning
There is only one thing that will happen as you blog after several weeks or months, you will grow. It's either you will grow on learning things or you will grow tired of blogging. If you love what you are doing, you will not grow tired of it. It will give you satisfaction and will want to learn and to explore more.
Passion will keep you blogging more
Some people do not merely blog to express themselves but to achieve certain goals too. There would be times that you will soon get tired of the tasks you are doing. When enthusiasm dies, you might likely grow colder on your writings. If you are passionate about blogging, you can always write about the same topic over and over again, but seeing it in a new way.
Blogging is a tedious task but not if you're passionate about what you're writing. Take a dose of passion in your blogging to help you survive in the blog sphere. You will never get over-dosed with it.

Affiliate and PPC Advertising For Blogs
Writing a high quality blog takes a great deal of time and effort, so it's only right that there is a financial reward involved. Bloggers use a variety of systems to make money online but the most popular are affiliate schemes and pay per click (PPC) advertising.
Pay per click is by no means the only method of making money from blogs. There are many different revenue raising possibilities including affiliate schemes, paid links and paid reviews. Pay per click remains the most popular system due to its ease of use.
The majority of revenue raising techniques for blogs can be quite time consuming. Unlike these other techniques, PPC advertising is usually a very quick and easy to implement solution. Pay per click adverts come in lots of different shapes and sizes, so the first stage of the solution is to choose the right adverts for your blog. There is often the temptation to hide adverts away in the lost areas of the page, but remember the more prominent your PPC campaign is the more money you will make. Also you should consider how many PPC ads blocks to run.
Most novice bloggers start with a block of PPC adverts running down the right hand side of a page. This is where people expect to find adverts so they may be less likely to notice this area of the page. Experienced blog marketers look at putting adverts in more interesting and less conventional parts of the page to get more people to look at them. They also use multiple pay per click ad blocks in different areas of the page. Using multiple adverts in different page areas can substantially increase advertising revenue.
Placing pay per click adverts on a page is usually a very simple procedure. Typically all you need to do is to choose the right advert size then put a small piece of code in the right place on your blog for the advert to appear. Unlike the more complex ways of making money online that can take hours to set up, PPC adverts can often be up and running in a matter of minutes.

Internet Marketing Tips - What Should I Put on My Blog?
What do I put on my blog? This may be one of the most commonly asked questions by marketers who are just starting out. With the advent of WordPress, the possibilities for blogs are endless. It's easy to get lost in a sea of "What the heck do I do" and end up with a blog that is a total mess. So, in this article, I am going to share with you some simple blogging tips. If you're not new to the game, this may seem trivial. But then again, this article is meant for those who keep asking that question.
Absolutely the most important thing to put on your blog is RELEVANT content. If you don't know what that means, please look up the word relevant in the dictionary. It means something that specifically relates to what your blog is about. So, if you have a blog about acne, you're not going to write articles about surfboarding. People are going to think you flipped your lid. I know, this seems like a duh statement, but trust me...there are some people (mostly blog spammers) who don't get this. I have seen plenty of so called "health" blogs with articles about casino gambling. Huh?
Next order of business. If you're a marketer and want to build a list, then for crying out loud, put an opt in form on your blog. Let people know that you have a newsletter that is, here's that word again, relevant to what they're reading on your blog. If they like the content that's on your blog then there is a very good chance that they'll sign up for your newsletter. Now, where do you put this opt in form? Someplace where they can EASILY see it. Yeah, I know...another duh statement. Again, you'd be surprised how many people put opt in forms in places where I can't find them and I'm looking for them. It's just unreal.
Finally, make sure your blog has the required plugins for SEO and keeping out unwanted spam comments. These plugins, usually invisible to you and everybody else, will make your blog more effective. With WordPress, there are a ton of these. I suggest the All In One SEO plugin as an absolute requirement.
Are there other things you could put on your blog? Sure, such as videos, photos, polls, etc. But make sure whatever you put on it is RELEVANT. There's that word again. It's absolutely the most important word you're ever going to come across when it comes to marketing online.

Blogging For Success
While the blog format has had some ups and downs, there is one truth about it. It is here to stay. Blogging is going nowhere and it remains a potent force on the web. A force that can be used for online marketing, if you use it properly.
The reasons for this are numerous. First off, the search engines still love blogs. They get updated with new content frequently, and tend to accumulate backlinks quickly. Secondly, people love to follow blogs. They are "cults of personality". Lets face facts, people are sheep. They like to be led around and directed. As long as you don't let on that's what you're doing, you will have no problem.
When working with a blog; and trying to make money from it, the key to success is in your wording. How you phrase things, how you tell people about things and most importantly how you sell them things. You must understand the psychology of selling without selling.
The real trick is in the soft sale. Getting traffic for your site is not a problem. The problem is making sure those people count. You need to master the art of selling something to someone, without them really knowing you're doing it.
A blog can be a powerful tool for making money online, but only if you use it properly. A blog is only as good as it's content and the people behind it. If you can master the techniques needed to make a blog succeed, it can provide a source of income for years.

Blogging Tips - Latest 5 Tips to Succeed in Online Blogging!
Absolutely anyone can start their own blog online. Blogging is a fantastic way to share your views and opinions to the world. The beauty of a blog as opposed to a website is that you don't require any programming knowledge to set it up. Setting up a blog is a much simpler process and can be achieved in next to no time with sites like Wordpress or Blogger. There are a few blogging tips it pays to know about before setting up your own blog.
Here are 5 blogging tips that will help your blog get noticed online:
1. Write about a topic you're knowledgeable. There's no point starting a blog on a topic you have no interest in just because you think it will rank well in the search engines. Even if you manage to find a keyword that has low competition, if you're not interested in the topic, it won't be long before you give up on the idea. Make sure you start writing about something you're passionate about. If you don't know a lot about the topic, engulf yourself in research and become an expert as quickly as possible.
2. Update your blog on a regular basis. The more often you can update your blog the better. The important point to note is consistency. It's better to be consistent with your blog posts rather than update 5 times in one week and then again three weeks later. You'd be better off, updated once per week every week on a regular basis. The search engines favour consistent regular blog posts as opposed to erratic posting.
3. Create backlinks through social networking sites. Building backlinks to your blog is an important aspect in achieving high search engine rankings. The more backlinks you have to your blog, the quicker you'll move up the rankings for SEO purposes. It's best to start off using sites like Facebook and HubPages to begin creating backlinks to your site. The search engines are continuously crawling these sites for new content.
4. Ping your blog after every post. A ping is used to notify the search engines you have posted fresh new content to your blog. It works in a similar way to submitting your website to the search engines. Sites like Pingomatic and Pingler allow you to submit your blog post every time you provide new content on your blog, hence improving your SEO rankings.
5. Post a tweet on Twitter for every new post you make. If you haven't signed up for Twitter yet, I'd suggest you definitely look into it. By building a list of followers on Twitter, you can fully leverage your blog posts by updating your Twitter account every time you make a new post. There is a specific plugin you can find for Wordpress that will Tweet your blog post automatically.

Here are 5 blogging tips that will help your blog get noticed online:
1. Write about a topic you're knowledgeable. There's no point starting a blog on a topic you have no interest in just because you think it will rank well in the search engines. Even if you manage to find a keyword that has low competition, if you're not interested in the topic, it won't be long before you give up on the idea. Make sure you start writing about something you're passionate about. If you don't know a lot about the topic, engulf yourself in research and become an expert as quickly as possible.
2. Update your blog on a regular basis. The more often you can update your blog the better. The important point to note is consistency. It's better to be consistent with your blog posts rather than update 5 times in one week and then again three weeks later. You'd be better off, updated once per week every week on a regular basis. The search engines favour consistent regular blog posts as opposed to erratic posting.
3. Create backlinks through social networking sites. Building backlinks to your blog is an important aspect in achieving high search engine rankings. The more backlinks you have to your blog, the quicker you'll move up the rankings for SEO purposes. It's best to start off using sites like Facebook and HubPages to begin creating backlinks to your site. The search engines are continuously crawling these sites for new content.

How to Have a Money Making Blog!
Do you want to have a money making blog? Who doesn't? All you need to do is go to Blogger and create a blog on a topic of your choice, add Google ads to it, and then when someone clicks on the ads you make money. Sound's simple right?
Of course, this scenario could be possible, however, most likely not possible. There's a couple of things missing that would be of great benefit. First of all, you need a product that you know is in demand. Second, you must drive traffic to it. Now, it stands a chance of being a money making blog.
Did I know any of this when I began? No I didn't, so I wasted a lot of time and effort trying to sell something I liked or was 'passionate' about. It's okay to be passionate about something, but it may not be in demand by anyone else and they're the buyers. The bottom line is there needs to be a market for it.
These are simple things, no doubt about it, and many veteran marketers know this stuff, but new comers aka newbies don't know anything about a money making blog. They think like I did, make blogs and the money will come.
Then there's the traffic issue. How in the world do you get people to the blog? You need to think about this and know at least a couple of ways or maybe more. To have a money making blog you will need traffic. No people no money.
The key though isn't just any traffic, but targeted traffic; people who are hungry for your product and will buy it. Where are they and how do you get them? The answer is advertising. You can do it the free way or you can pay for it.
It's possible to have a money making blog and not pay for traffic or advertising, although, it does require time and work. You can write articles and submit them to article directories with a link to your site; this is one of the best ways to get free targeted traffic.
Another way is with the use of forums. You simply join several forums choosing a couple that are relevant to your product. Then join a couple that's make money online focused so you can share ideas and learn new techniques from veteran marketers.
Not knowing how to promote or advertise a blog can be costly I know this from experience. I didn't really know how to have a money making blog until I got a mentor to show me step by step what to do. Coaching isn't free, but it's less than a dollar a day and helps you make money faster and easier.
