Make Money From Blogging

Make Money From Blogging ?

I still come across a certain set of people who have strong personal feelings in regards to "make money from blogging".

If you think marketing your blog is bad, immoral, uncool, greedy, horribly or everything after those principles, then do quit thinking of "how to make money frm blogging".

Then, if you also have mixed feelings over the monetizing of your blog, then its better you sort out those feelings first. If you think monetizing of your blog is wonderful, that is fine. If you think, it is evil, it is also fine.

But you have to form your understanding, before you consider seriously beginning to start down this way.

Im other words, you have to be congruent or have a definite aim..

Generating income from your blog is challenging enough — you don’t want to be dealing with self-sabotage at the same time. It should feel genuinely good to "earn income from blogging" — you should be driven by a healthy ambition to succeed.

If your blog has and is a genuine value source, then in all aspects, you need to make money off it. If you do decide to "earn income from blogging", then don’t be shy about it.

If you’re going to put up ads, then really put up ads. Don’t just stick a puny little ad square in a remote corner somewhere. If you’re going to request donations, then really request donations.

Don’t put up a barely visible "Donate" link and pray for the best. If you’re going to sell products, then really sell them.

Try and market the best quality products and try providing your visitors with genuine reasons about the product so they are inclined to buy same. If you’re going to do this, then fully commit to it. Don’t take a half-arsed approach.

Either take a full arsed or no arsed viewpoint, but definitely not a half-arsed view !

Now it is practically up to people on what they choose...

Whatever be the situation, have fun blogging and hope you "make money blogging"

One Does Not Have To Blog About Blogging To Create A Winning Blog

There is a huge misconception that one has to blog about blogging to create a winning blog or a blog that brings in money.. In other words, people believe that blogs cannot be successful unless they are about blogging, social media or the usual affiliate marketing blah !

Hogwash..

Just CLICK THIS LINK, and you will note the 50 most successful blogs that have bizarre categories.

I have been trying to regularly blog, since I quit as a full-time blogger about 3 years back. I now have time on my hands and I am back!! Beware…

My new year resolution and yet I could apply it only now... I have reasons as usual...

Must take time off to reach out to lost contacts as well.. important in bringing in traffic.

Besides, if one is NOT ACTIVE, that is a surefire formula for killing a daily blog.

Touche… you just touched a nerve – Yeah, I had reasons for laying off sometime..

Anyways, feels good to be back !!

A day in the life of a link building expert

A link building expert – what is she or who is he?

Most people are a bit taken aback when they hear that you do nothing but link building. So, this is for all those people who ask me what I did all day. I have to explain to them what a professional link building expert’s daily routine was. The below breakdown is for those people to get the bigger picture

5:00 am - pardon the language…….that was the alarm… I lie in bed contemplating the day ahead, meetings, the pending tasks and the deadlines that need to be met.

5.15 am - I take my coffee, mobile, scribbler pad and note book to the loo. Plan my day ahead and check for any messages that need replying to. Asia – why do they have to live in a different time zone? In a way, it’s good. My odd jobs have been attended to. My keyword is still in page #2 of Google – something needs to be done. Feel good, nonetheless, no more fags - those lungs feel clean.

5.30 am - Brush my teeth, shave and go for my quick run, phew! Wished they find something easier to reduce the waistline. Quickly calculate, thirty minutes wasted, that means 1r5 hours a month (multiplied by two) (half an hour in the evening as well) or 360 hours per year or $18,000. Ouch, that hurts. Come on guys find a new akai berry!

6.15 am - Shower – that feels good, news paper and television and some cereal and leave for office by 6.45 am

7.00 am – Office – trying to find a way out of the impending deadline – too many of them and so little help. We link building experts are an undernourished lot. Fantasize the lady in the lift as my secretary – she smiles knowingly – what was that keyword again.

7.30 am - Hit the computers running and check for tweeter messages…. When do these guys get the time? Drop a note to show that I am alive and well and move on to Facebook and Linkedin . Received 10 friend requests and a few “gifts”… Despite our undernourishment, we seem t o be a popular lot. Scribble something and move on.

7.45 am – check mail - must get a new spam blocker. 500 new messages in 4 addresses is way too much. Check all to delete. Identify those messages which hopefully are not spam and delete the rest. Balance total 150. Need further siphoning but time to move on. Where is the java?

8.00 am - First meeting, didn’t have the faintest idea of what he wanted – Wants his keyword out there on the first page and that’s that – they should send someone with something on top – who cares, company gets $1000 in its kitty

8.30 am - Next meeting - A likely professional – needs the services of a link building expert. Has the entire strategy lined up – afraid can’t talk my way out of this. But am going to enjoy the interaction. At least someone in your wavelength. Needs a new link building strategy implemented along with SEO services. A breeze. Collect files, keywords and set a date for the next meeting. One week? What does she think I am - a machine? Anyway, she smiles. That’s enough!

9.35 am - I need a bite – go down to get a hotdog and coffee and rushback – did I miss anything? Two missed calls.

10.00 am – 1.00 pm - Okay, time to get down to some real hard core link building business. Geez, wish it was automated. No wonder they say, link building is one of the most difficult of jobs…..duh! Articles, article directories, search engines, analyze title tags, image tags, link structure, directory structure, keyword density, prominence, and proximity, total words, total words in specific areas, alt tags, input tags, word repetitions, comment lines, domain name, directory name, filename, etc. The list is endless. Is this why they call me a link building expert No, it’s because they don’t want to do it.

1.30 pm – Need some java and find out what’s happening in the market or I’ll be out in the cold. Reciprocal links are out and that settles one issue. Gee, why can’t Google be a bit kinder?

2.00 pm – Time for some lunch with a friend. A Mexican sandwich and link talk. This linking is making my palates go berserk.

2.30 pm – back to desk – make analysis and reports for the meeting tomorrow. Their keywords seem to have hit page 2. That’s not bad, and in less than 90 days.

3.00pm – 4.00 pm – Another meeting. Trying to advise a new client why his site is unable to generate traffic. The biggest mistake is that he is not focusing on generating traffic, but instead, trying every new method out there that can supposedly increase traffic, to his site. If he spends some time on a few of the options, his site should do well.

4:00 pm – Shut down and drive back home. Nope, not staying for the “employee of the year” award. Missed calls – 3 (attended to)

4:30 pm – Need to do some laundry

5.00 pm – 6.00 pm – Some bit of extra time… time to catch some shut eye.

6.00 pm – Need to pick up a few groceries

6. 30 pm – Evening run

7.00 pm - 8:00 pm – Order supper and finish supper while watching Telly – or else the links would drive me crazy. Nice serial – no time for a movie.

8.00 pm – 9.30 pm - Need to do a bit of research for tomorrow’s meeting, make a few notes and work on client projects and do research on their verticals etc. Also go over the pending 150 messages in detail, which gets further reduced to 100. Fire off replies to each and put my two bits on tweeter – 3 messages and 15 followers…. Not bad, although not in the league of Ashton Kutcher. Should reach a million followers within the next 10 years hopefully!

9:45 pm – A cup of milk and a go over Eric Wards and Aaron Hall’s blog postings. On second thoughts, let me finish that book by Thomas Friedman – he puts me to sleep faster

10.00 pm – Time to hit hay – Click!

If the above schedule for a link building expert sounds too good to be true, then it probably is....

Paying For Links

The reciprocal link principle is simple – find websites with good rankings and plenty of traffic, and trade links with them. But when you’re just starting out, why should a big important site give a little upstart like you any kind of link at all?

There’s only one way to find out – ASK THEM. It helps if you have some kind of relationship with the site owner. But even if you don’t, you can sometimes use the time-honored principle of bribery to get a link from a well-ranked site.

Ask for a link. If you get turned down, say “Would you consider linking to me for $100?” You’d be surprised at how many webmasters will take you up on your offer!

This technique works best with privately owned sites that rank in the top 10 for targeted keywords in niche markets. There’s no point in trying to get a link from Kiplinger’s or Newsweek’s or Vogue’s web site. But if you’re selling weight loss products, and $50 will buy you a link from a small web site that’s ranked #1 for “low-carb dessert recipes,” you’re probably better off buying that link than buying $50 of PPC advertising. This also can’t hurt your own search engine ranking.

Make sure you have a simple written agreement about exactly what the link will say (you want your keywords in it) and the duration of the link – 6 months, a year, forever, etc.

Yes, you’ll have to wrap your brain around your site topic and the products you’re trying to sell. That’s what “targeting” requires – being selective. You have to know not only the kind of visitors you want, but the kind of visitors you DON’T want.

A similar technique involves finding all the sites that link to your competitors, and offering them a cash incentive to add your link to their site. You can find these sites by going to Google and typing in link:www.yourcompetitorslink.com.
