Blog Me Happy I don't want to be a newbie any longer.

There are literally millions of blogs on the net. Most people who start blogging do so for the sheer pleasure of the activity. You write about what you know. All of a sudden, you’re receiving responses from people all over the world. These responses naturally fuel your enthusiasm. You write more. More people jump in to have their say. Before you know it, you’ve got a sizeable amount of traffic.

However, you’re not making any money from your efforts and your passion for your subject is taking more and more of your time and more server space than you’d counted on when you began. In short, your blog is starting to cost you in both time and money. Isn’t there a way to generate some income? Indeed, there are many ways.

You need to acquaint yourself with the world of net marketing, if you want to make a profit. After all, people are interested in what you have to say. Maybe now’s the time to consider the leap to your own online business. With good management strategies, you could quit your ‘day job’ and do just fine!

Let’s say you’ve got a successful blog going, with a loyal and growing readership. Do you have any ads running? Do you provide leads to your readers which enrich their knowledge? Do you have streaming audio and video? Any RSS feeds? If not, it may be about time you got more sophisticated. How do you learn how to integrate all of these features and start realizing an income? This is where blogging guides become valuable.

Blogging guides do not generally teach you how to write. You’ve got that down. What blogging guides do teach you is how to market your blog. While you may have an indestructible rapport with your readers, that won’t make you any money. You need targeted ads for products and services your readers are looking for, to enhance their knowledge or skill sets.

For example, let’s say your blog concerns greenhouse gardening. Your readers are hungry for information on building and maintaining greenhouses, books of both a general nature and specific and more obscure facets of greenhouse gardening, such as orchid care, hydroponic gardening or grafting cactii in Minnesota in winter.

You know how to find what your readers want. You need to know how to form affiliate agreements, whereby your link to greenhouse garden products results in a commission for you, when your reader clicks through and buys that product.

If you’re not currently integrating relevant graphics, submitting to directories and social networking sites, you’re missing out on lots of traffic. If you’re not conversant in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), you need to get on the ball!

There are free blogging tutorials to get you started. Once you’ve got a handle on how to make money, invest in a good blogging guide. You’ll make money!

Blogs in Plain English

Google Trends, as many of you will know, is a simple tool for gauging, hour by hour, what is hotly being searched for on the Internet. It’s an incredibly versatile and innovative tool, and it has proved extremely handy for news agencies, Internet users, and Webmasters alike. It tends to focus on news blogs, which is excellent for the smaller Webmaster who is trying to increase traffic to his blog.

I suppose you could class me as one of those smaller Webmasters, and to be sure, I always keep one eye fixed on Google trends. I have learned from studying this mysteriously excellent service that most Internet users are only interested in the three things:

1. Nudity
2. Crime and serial killers
3. Celebrities, celebrities, and more celebrities.

• Health and Fitness – Society is now more aware than ever about healthy living, and many people are looking for quick solutions to daily fitness and health problems. Quality content regarding tips and products can see people visiting your site, and daily updates will see them return each and everyday.

• Celebrity Gossip – The rich and famous are more than ever in spotlight, and hundreds of thousands of people are looking to find out the smallest details about their favourite stars. It may be difficult to find out any new information but it is easy to bring all available information together to ensure that your blog is the central source of information from dedicated fans.

Join a blog network

This is one of the most effective methods on how to make money blogging. You will get paid to create and maintain content for blogs. The amount of money that you will earn will depend on the number of page views you get.

Many successful blogs though come not from writing about a popular topic, after all there is a lot of competition, but from finding a niche that is popular and where no one is writing about. Therefore write about something you know about and keep trying.

BREAKING NEWS: Attention all WordPress Bloggers

About me

Until recently I tested Internet Marketing software and methods and published the results on a number of blogs. Every week I am overwhelmed with questions on my blog from people struggling with Internet marketing. I know a lot of people who are struggling at the moment and whilst I am making a modest income on the net from my work I am more and more doing what I can to assist others to avoid the mistakes, choose the right strategies and get off to a good start.

Sadly a big number of Internet Marketing content and tools I evaluate isn’t very good. Until recently the results of my reviews have been published on a limited number of websites whose owners have asked me to contribute in return for helping me with my evaluations.

Over Six hundred products tested

This represents just over six hundred ‘products’ that I have reviewed over a timescale of nearly five years, obviously a number of them are obsolete and I will only be including ‘products’ that are still available. I have tested all of the products I review and whilst in some cases I know the authors well this doesn’t divert me from telling what I really think about what works well and what doesn’t in each product.

Easy to use and organised index

To help you make the decisions that will work best for you I am going to organise the product summaries into a simple and easy to use directory and every product will be categorised by the level of  experience required, cost, effort and how soon you can expect to see results.

First Review – The ‘blueprint’ for WordPress blog success

I am going to start with WordPress Blogs and what systems you can use to make money from them. Everyone should have a blog and I am passionate about blogging as a major percentage of my income comes from blogs but and however I am fully aware that setting up a blog can be confusing so if you join my list I will show you step by step how to do this.

Create once and replicate

Blogs are cool in as much once you get a blog working properly and earning cash then you simply replicate it. I have a fundamental rule of ‘getting a rope across the river’ before commencing on any large amount of work so I always start with constructing a prototype that I develop into a blueprint that I can test, refine and copy, to do this you have to really understand what products and strategies you need to use.

No bullshit, just answers.

So if you have a WordPress blog or you want some practical and personal assistance with your choice of Internet Marketing products then please do join my list at www.backlinksclinic.com.

See you there

It’s actually pretty easy to make money with affiliate marketing.  There are so many resources and tools available to help you out and hundreds of products for you to market.  Here are four easy suggestions to help you make money as an affiliate marketer.

Educate yourself.  Join a free internet marketing forum like WarriorForum.com or WickedFire.com.  Although you can’t believe everything you read, you can learn a lot by hanging around the forums and asking questions.  However, don’t just sit there with your newfound knowledge.  Implement some techniques yourself.  The only way to learn from your mistakes is to mess up several times.  Once you have experienced a little bit of success, then join a reputable paid membership site.  A site like PPCCoach is a great way to meet like minded individuals who trying to learn pay per click marketing. 

Network.  By participating on the forums and other sites, you will soon start developing new friendships with others.  This is great opportunity to network with others and start joint ventures.  By doing so, you can leverage the experience of others and lessen the risk to yourself on a project.  Having great contacts is an invaluable part of being a successful internet marketer.

Concentrate on one project at a time.  It is so easy to get distracted in the internet marketing world.  News of the latest hyped up products get sent to your inbox every day, and it is really easy to spread yourself thin by working on multiple projects.  When that happens, you end up doing a half assed job on each project.  Finish one project, before moving on the another.  That way you can dedicate all your resources towards finishing it.

Track everything.  A smart affiliate marketer tracks everything he does.  You need to track which keywords people are searching for that come to your site, and which keywords are turning into sales.  If you don’t, how will you ever scale up and make more money?  Use tools like Google Analytics and Prosper202 to do this .  They are both free, so there’s no excuse not to use them.

Everything can be sold online these days, from the best guitar course to the latest weight loss diets.  Just be smart about the way you do things, and you will find that it is quite easy to become successful online.  Once you do so, you will never have to work a 9-to-5 job again.

Picking the right product to sell is essential to succeed with affiliate marketing.  There are millions of affiliate marketing products out around, but not all of them will make you money.  Some products are garbage and don’t work right at all.  Another product might be great, but its landing page leaves something to desired so it is not making any sales.  To succeed as an affiliate marketing, you need to find a product that’s proven to sell well.  Why sell something that nobody wants to buy?

To find that right product to promote, we’re going to use the Clickbank affiliate network.  While there are many good affiliate networks out there, Clickbank is one of the best for those starting out.  They have a large selection of affiliate marketing products to sell, they always send your checks on time, and it is easy to get accepted into the network.  Unlike other networks that make you apply to promote a certain offer, Clickbank lets you promote all offers on their network right away.

The first thing to do when choosing a product to promote, is to think about a niche.  The best way to do this is to brainstorm and write down five or ten areas you think you would enjoy finding more about.  When creating your site around a product, you will be spending a lot of time with it, so make sure the topics are something you can have fun with.

Once you have your topics, go login to your Clickbank account and visit the Marketplace section.  Clickbank has its products divided into categories, so choose an appropriate category and perform a search for each of the topics you have written down earlier.  In the search results, you will get a list of products that Clickbank sells that best match your search term.  Underneath each product description, you will see a number of different metrics.  

The most important thing to look at, is the gravity score.  Gravity basically shows you how many affiliates have made sales with this product recently. If a lot of people are making sales with this product then you should have no problems promoting this product as well.  As a rule of thumb, try and pick a product with a gravity score over 50.  The other metric to look at is the dollars per sale.  If you are going to use pay per click marketing to drive traffic to your product, then pick a payout greater than $25 per sale.  By choosing a high enough payout, you can cover any advertising expenses and make a good profit.

Using the two metrics mentioned above, note down a list of products that meet these criteria.  Now pick the one that you would be most interested in researching about and selling.  You already know that other affiliates are doing well with these products, so the key here is picking the product that will keep your interest so you can promote it successfully.  This is the first step to becoming a successful affiliate marketer.  The next step is to join a program like PPC Kahuna and learn from some internet marketing gurus on how to setup your sites and promote them effectively.
