Easy Blog Profits - Top Three Ways to a Blog Income Now

Want to make money from your blog? You can - within days. Here are three easy ways to a quick income.

Here’s an important tip: any blog can be an income generator, but you’ll make more when you think of ALL your blog’s content as being helpful, especially the products you advertise.

For example, if you have a dog training blog, then think about your readers. They own a dog, and they want to take care of him. So find products, both useful and fun which will help them to do that, and you’ll make sales.

Now let’s discover the top three ways to a quick blog income.
1. Add advertising to your blog

Everyone adds advertising to their blog, and you should too. When your blog is new and you don’t have much traffic, the income you generate will be minimal.

However, since it’s both fast and easy to add advertising like Google AdSense to your blog, just do it. The advertising income your blog generates will increase over time.
2. Look for affiliate products in your niche and review them

When you sell others’ products, you get a slice of the income. There are hundreds of thousands of products you could review on your blog.

Start with products you already own, if these products have affiliate programs. When you own a product, not only can you review it with authority, but you can also add screen clips, and can even create videos to promote the product very quickly.

To get traffic to your reviews, write some articles pointing to the reviews, and post the articles to article directories.
3. Offer site reviews

Although there are commercial sites which you can join to get site review opportunities, it’s just as effective to find your own.

Contact other sites in your niche, and offer them a review. With a new blog, you won’t be able to charge much, because you don’t have the traffic.

The big benefit however is that you get known among others in your niche, and the amounts you charge for your reviews will increase.

Do you actually want to monetize your blog?


Some people have strong personal feelings with respect to making money from their blogs. If you think commercializing your blog is evil, immoral, unethical, uncool, lame, greedy, obnoxious, or anything along those lines, then don’t commercialize it.

If you have mixed feelings about monetizing your blog, then sort out those feelings first. If you think monetizing your site is wonderful, fine. If you think it’s evil, fine. But make up your mind before you seriously consider starting down this path. If you want to succeed, you must be congruent. 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 your blog — you should be driven by a healthy ambition to succeed. If your blog provides genuine value, you fully deserve to earn income from it. If, however, you find yourself full of doubts over whether this is the right path for you, you might find this article helpful: How Selfish Are You? It’s about balancing your needs with the needs of others.

If you do decide to generate income from your blog, 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. Create or acquire the best quality products you can, and give your visitors compelling reasons to buy. If you’re going to do this, then fully commit to it. Don’t take a half-assed approach. Either be full-assed or no-assed.

How to make your blog churn out hard cash


Making money from your blog these days is not just only very possible, but actually very easy.

July 10, 2008: You’ve got excellent writing skills, and you’ve got brilliant ideas or burning issues you regularly share with the world. You’ve probably got a blog that is generating a considerable amount of traffic. You don’t have to put all that traffic to waste. You could make a decent earning while sharing with the rest of the world.

Making money from your blog these days is not just only very possible, but actually very easy. For starters, you could make use of Internet advertising programmes. The more popular ones are Blogads, AdGenta, Chikita eMiniMalls and Google Adsense.

The most popular and profitable, however, is Google adsense. It’s free and way too easy to use. All you need do is apply to Google’s adsense programme.

They’ll send you an html code which you copy to your blog’s layout and then adverts related to the subject you are writing on would appear beside your blog posts. Each time a person visits your blog and clicks on the ad, Google pays you.

You can also register for an affiliate programme. There are lots of them, including Rocket profit, Incent reward and Amazon associates.

The Amazon Associates programme is the best of them all. It gives bloggers the opportunity to promote any product in Amazon’s inventory as affiliate agents.

Just like Google adsense, all you need do is add a small, identifying code to the links that take your site’s visitors to a specific Amazon product page (books, DVDs, electronics, etc.). If the visitors who clicked on your link buy an item even if it’s not the item you point to — you earn a small commission.

Furthermore, you could sell and promote your products on your blog. Many bloggers use their blogs to promote their books, e-books, branded t-shirts, or the sort.

Your t-shirt, for example, could have a tagline about a strong message or cause about something you are really passionate about, or which your audience is passionate about. Provided it is affordable, you audience is sure to buy.

If your blog has a lot of traffic, you could take advantage of this by approaching a company to become its official online blogger.

An increasing number of companies are paying bloggers with highly visited sites to do write-ups on their products and services. These are called Paid assignments. With your blog, you could write up articles for clients, sensitising your audience about a product or a new service.

This however must be done with caution. When you do it too often you could bore your audience and lose a following. The only thing here is that you, as a blogger must be as transparent, accountable and professional as possible.

Finally, you could sign on to be a blogger on blog networks. Some blog networks which pay bloggers and writers to write include www.creative-weblogging.com, www.payperpost.com, and www.weblonginsc.com. These blogs are always looking for people to write quality articles, and they are willing to pay for it.

You could earn a decent income just blogging on subjects you love. So, get on your computer, work with your skills and let your skills work for you.

5 Advantages Of Becoming A Guest Blogger


You have just created one of the best blogs that the Internet has ever seen. But now what?

How do you expect to get anyone to notice this site?

It may well be the best site ever created, or it may contain the meaning of life somewhere on the page, but can you expect anyone to notice it in the first place?

This is one of the trickiest obstacles to overcome when you first set up your own website or blog. You can’t expect instant search engine traffic or get good SERPS for your site because it is still brand new. Unless your domain name is one which is randomly typed by Internet users, you can’t really expect to get any kind of traffic at all.

One of the best and easiest ways of getting your site (and yourself) noticed on the Internet is by becoming a guest blogger. This is simply when you have some kind of a deal in place with another already well-established blog and you agree to write interesting, related articles in return for a link back to your own blog or website. The blog owner is getting free (hopefully) unique content and you are receiving free publicity for your own blog. Everyone is happy.

Here Are Some Of The Many Advantages Of Becoming A Guest Blogger:

1 You Can Get Your Website/Blog Noticed For Free Nearly Instantly
It costs you nothing to write an article, but will obviously involve a little bit of your time. This should be time well spent though, and guest blogging probably gives more advantages to your site/blog then by paying for some kind of advertisements. Also once you have written the article and have submitted it to the blog it is ready to go live on the site (might take a few hours for the blog owner to check it through and then submit it). This means that you can get almost instant traffic to your own site/blog.


2 You Can Tap Into Related Markets
Say you had a blog which contained dog training advice. You wouldn’t then find a blog about financial advice and ask to become a guest blogger. Why would the readers of the financial advice blog want to read your articles about teaching your dog how to stop biting people? You should find a blog which is in the same niche as your own blog/site, and then ask to become a guest blogger. Then the articles that you create will be of interest to the blog readers, who in turn will be much more likely to visit your website as it is related to the same subject, which is obviously of interest to the reader.


3 Show Off Your Skills And Mark Your Authority On A Subject
Perhaps you feel you are highly talented at writing on your blog, or perhaps you are highly knowledgeable of a specific topic. This is all very well, but if no-one goes to your site then no-one will ever notice you. This is why guest blogging is an excellent way of showing off your skills or your authority on a subject. As a guest blogger you are instantly in touch with the readers of a blog, so you now have a direct chance of impressing the readers of that blog – who should appreciate your work, and may in turn feel inclined to visit your own blog/site.


4 Free Backlinks For SEO Purposes
If you are guest blogging on a site which as a good PageRank and which has good SERPS, you will be gaining some powerful backlinks to your own site. As a guest blogger you should be allowed to place a few links back to your site/blog from within the blog-post you have written, and the search engines will see these links and this will hopefully improve your search engine position. A higher position in the search engines will obviously result in more visitors to your pages.


5 Improve Your Writing Skills
Although many people may not really care about their own writing skills, it is still an important aspect of guest blogging. As a guest blogger you will get (hopefully) a few chances of impressing the visitors of that blog, so you have to make your blog posts interesting and exciting. If your writing is poorly constructed or boring to read then chances are no-one is going to bother taking a look at your blog/site. You should adapt and improve your writing when it comes to guest blogging as you will only have a limited space in which to show off your skills, and if you don’t impress then you won’t gain much from becoming a guest blogger.

Blogging to the Bank 2 - Honest Review

Blogging has been around for a few years now. Most people use blogs to record
their thoughts and lives, while the select few use them as a free way to make a
fortune.

One guy who uses this to his advantage is Rob Benwell. Last year he dished the
dirt on the tips and tricks to making a fortune using blogging. But as time passes the old systems become obsolete and new techniques are required. This is where his brand new, fresh off the press blogging to the bank 2 system comes into play.

For those who know who Rob Benwell is like me, you’ve probably made a killing using blogs.

For those who don’t, he’s the story:

Back in 2005 he was struggling to make any profit online, had dropped out of college and was getting deep into debt. He was trying all the techniques the gurus tell you and wasn’t getting anywhere fast. All of that went in the bin and he started using his own techniques and started making more and more money using simple blogs. In early 2006 he shared this with the world and had a great ebook called blogging to the bank. Tons of people got rich from using these techniques (including me). He then spoke at Online Marketing Legend Yanik Silver’s underground Seminar where he revealed even more of his underground strategies.

But as I said earlier, the techniques used in that ebook are now showing there age. Some of them are not even working in the slightest! This is where blogging to the bank 2 comes into play.

It’s full of great new techniques that work online right now! Everything’s explained in plain English with all the fluff cut out. I got hold of an advanced copy of the book for a much higher price than what it actually sells for and it has been worth every single cent! I got it in the afternoon and by the evening I was creating new profitable blogs. Within a couple of hours of them being active I had made a nice little profit.

Blogging To The Bank 2 teaches you Robs new step by step blueprint to creating highly profitable long term niche blogs using the newest optimization techniques. There’s even a section on advanced Search Engine Optimization. Most people think SEO is difficult but Rob explains this nice and simply so even the blogging newbie will understand it.

Blogging To The Bank 2 is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make easy money online.
