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

At one point in a professional blogger’s career, his efforts to make money blogging are finally rewarded by steady profit and a loyal reader base.  When this time comes, direct advertising is often the next step, and the best way to draw in potential advertisers is by putting up a media advertising kit, or, more simply, a media kit.  Media kits essentially hold the sort of information that advertisers will be interested in, and are supposed to convince them that advertising on your blog is a great idea.

If you want to start making your own media kit, there are certain guidelines you should follow.  Although media kits can come in various forms, the most effective ones all have a few crucial elements in place.  Here are a few guidelines that you can refer to when you want to start making your own media kit:

1.  Keep it simple
The last thing you want to do is sound like an academic snob on your media kit.  When you start writing for it, string your ideas together using succinct sentences and simple phrasing and wording.  Trust us: advertisers don’t want to decode your media kit, so make everything as short, simple, and straightforward as possible.

2.  Include your blog’s profile and stats:

Make a clear stand on what your blog is all about.   What’s the general theme that your posts are running with?  Is there a specific area within your niche that you specialize in?  What can your readers expect to get from your blog when they visit it?  These are the questions that your blog profile should be answering, since advertisers will definitely want to know more about your site and if they’re a good fit for you.  Don’t forget to include statistics that show just how many visitors you have, and how many backlinks trace back to your site.

3.  Give clear information on your ad packages:
Don’t give advertisers the runaround by being mysterious or unclear about your advertising packages.  Make sure to include information about the size of your ad space, your rates, the terms of payment, and which spots in your site are up for grabs.

4.  Create a page exclusively for it:
Put up a tab or a link on your site with an “Advertise” or “Advertise Here” label to direct potential advertisers to your media kit.  After all, what use is one if they can’t find it?  Position the tab or link in a prominent place, where interested parties can see it right away.

Nothing can be more rewarding than when you finally make money blogging, and creating a media kit is just one of the many ways through which you can kick the process into high gear.  Now that you know what the ground rules for making a kit are, it’s time for you to put up one and begin monetizing your blog more seriously.

Economically, we’ve entered some rough seas, where our money is going out faster than it’s coming in. Well, a lot of people out there have gotten the idea that there’s money to be made on the Internet and they’re right. And you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to earn an online income, either. All it takes is a little reading and a desire to make money blogging.

The Internet’s a veritable Grand Canyon of space and depth. And it grows bigger by an average of 175,000 more blogs with each passing day. But many other blogs fall off the cliff and don’t make a profit, even after a year. This should tell you that blogs are not too hard to make, but that success is hardly a guarantee.

Now that we have an idea of what we’re up against, what should we do first, in terms of dipping our toes in the waters of the Internet “blogosphere?” Generally, the first thing to do is think up something that either interests us personally or that we think will interest others enough to want to know more about it. Something like NASA photography, for example.

Once you’ve figured out something to use for blog content (say, 1950s NASA photography), it’ll then be time to go online and do some studying on the words people are using on the Internet to find out information about those pictures.  This is because people don’t find NASA images by accident.  Instead, they type out keywords in Google’s search bar and go through the search results to get the information they’re looking for.

These keywords are therefore nothing else but the words that people tend to repeatedly type into search engines in order to find out more info or to find out where they can go and get NASA images, and that’s about it. Chances are, there are more than enough good keywords related to those search terms to generate several that can be used on your new blog, and which will attract visitors to it.

The trick, of course, will be in searching for and then utilizing enough of the right words that haven’t been milked completely dry by all those other competitors out there, and then getting a blog up that uses those words to gain visitors (“site traffic”). A great thing is that search engines like Google and Yahoo have all the online tools and help you’ll need to learn how to do this, and it’s all free.

Also, there are plenty of online resources (websites, blog hosting sites and the like) that’ll be ready, willing and eager to help you set up a site and show you how to make money online. Most of the time, they’ll host it on their own servers for little or even no cost, and show you how to set it up efficiently and smartly enough to actually make some money off it.

Keep these tips in mind when beginning to set up a blog with an eye towards making money off it – either by offering things to buy or getting a commission from your affiliate partner.  First, make sure that it’s easy to navigate your blog. Don’t confuse visitors. Also, make sure there’s a constant stream of new and fresh content on it if your site is content-heavy and geared towards informing your readers.  If you sell products, you should have good and clear information about them, and specify details on where and how to buy them.

Although the rewards of blogging aren’t immediate, don’t be frustrated. Blogging in general and is a fun and exciting pastime, so imagine how much more exciting it is to finally earn money just by doing the stuff you love! So dig in, set up a blog that you can maintain in the long term, and start earning more money than your old day job could ever pay you.
