3 Fast and Easy Ways to Make Money

Seems like everyone is looking for the fastest and easiest way to make money on the internet.
Over the last 5 years or so, I have tried literally every technique there is. Here are 3 quick and easy ways to make some money online.

Side note - because these are fast and easy methods, it means the amount of money to be made is somewhat limited. The most money you can make online will be from long term efforts requiring hard work (but who wants to do that?)






The following list is in no particular order as far as ease or money making potential

1) Write website articles and content.

I don’t mean just start a blog and write content that floats around the net like the billions of other websites. By writing content, I mean to get paid for writing content for others.

One thing website owners lack is time. Time to write good, entertaining, educational, and grammatically correct content for their websites. If you have decent writing skills, you can write for many different types of companies and individual website owners (ie - your clients).

A mistake I see a lot of writers make is choosing the WRONG clients. When you decide to become a paid content writer, pick your customers, don’t have them pick you. Don’t go to those freelance sites and beg for work bid for work. You’ll end up getting paid much less than you are worth and have annoying clients that expect you to work for peanuts from that point on.

Instead, contact existing websites that you want to write for. There is a trick to this however, if you want to be successful. Don’t have your first contact be an email asking if they will buy your articles or asking how much they will pay for your content. Those kinds of emails are viewed as spam and will get you nowhere.

Instead, take the higher road and sacrifice your early profits. First, read what their website or blog is about. Try to get a feel for their style of communication. Then, write the most amazing article you could possibly imagine that would blow away their readers. Finally, GIVE THE ARTICLE TO THE WEBSITE OWNER FOR FREE.

What? You mean go above and beyond what the other 75,000 freelance writers will do to get work?

Absolutely! Let the website use your article or blog post on their website WITHOUT giving you credit for it. When you submit the article to them, be sure you tell them it’s a completely original article that is exclusive for their website. Tell them you are a freelance writer looking for a couple extra clients, and this article was to demonstrate your skills which will hopefully lead to more articles for them. They will be amazed by your generosity, and that’s when reciprocity comes in. They’ll WANT TO HELP YOU because you helped them first.

Once they post your content to their website, you can follow up with them to see what they thought about your work. That’s when you can pitch your services to them. Do you see how this technique will get you much better results that shooting an email saying “I write website content, $25 per 800 words. Would you like to buy some articles?” (You laugh but I get emails like this everyday!)

Be sure to pick websites that a) have money to spend on content, and b) will need lots of fresh content to stay competitive in their market. If you do this simple technique, you can easily make $1,000 per month writing for one single website. (based on 40 articles per month at $25/article)

2) Be An Offline Affiliate Partner.

Affiliate marketing is a great way to earn a part time income. The problem is, internet marketing as an affiliate is pretty competitive since there are so many people doing it.

Instead, try promoting affiliate programs offline. Here’s how you do it…

Search online for an affiliate program you want to be promoting. You’ll want to pick something that your local city/town would be interested in. For example, you can go to clickbank.com and search all the various products your can promote from their Marketplace.

Let’s pick weight loss for this example. In clickbank, you can open up their “Health & Fitness” category and see all the programs you can promote. They are sorted by popularity, so typically the first 10 products listed in each category are the best sellers.

This makes your job easy as an affiliate, because you won’t have to guess which products are best and easiest to sell.

Let’s say we decide to promote the first one, Fat Loss For Idiots. Clickbank says we will earn about $30 for each sale of this product as an affiliate. Not bad.

To promote this product offline, it’s pretty simple. All you do is go to godaddy.com and purchase a domain name. Preferably something short and easy to remember since we will be promoting this link offline and people will have to type it in.


Once you purchase the $8 domain name, you need to get your affiliate link. If you are using clickbank, you’ll need to sign up for an account with them and then click the “create hoplink” link to get your affiliate referral link.

Now that you have your affiliate link, you take that affiliate URL and go back into your godaddy account to find the domain name you bought. There will be an option there to do a “redirect”. Choose that option, and it will ask you which URL you would like people to be redirected to when they type in your domain name. Here, you simply enter your affiliate link.

That’s all there is to it. Now that you are officially an affiliate partner, you can begin promoting “your” new website.

You can print up a flier or business cards with your URL on them, and post them on those corkboard message boards in your local gyms or grocery stores, stick them in fitness magazines in your local bookstore, anywhere you think people who are interested in weight loss will find them.

You can place classified ads in you local paper or pay a flier distribution service to put fliers on people’s mailboxes.

Your income will depend on how many people find your marketing materials and how many of those people actually go to the website to learn more. There’s no reason why you couldn’t get 2-3 sales per week from this technique. So, 10 sales per month @ $30 each would put $300/month in your pocket and you can be up and running in about 3 hours from now.

3) Implement The Latest Internet Marketing Tricks For Others.

If you are like most people in the internet marketing niche, you have a hard drive full of ebooks teaching all the latest “tricks” to make money online. Many of these tricks actually do work, even if it’s for a short period of time. The problem is, a lot of these techniques require you to already have an existing website setup or have an existing email subscriber list, etc.

If you don’t have these previous requirements, it can be frustrating for you because you know you can use these tricks if you just had the existing website or just had a subscriber list to start with.

Well, I’ll be the first to tell you that I hardly ever get caught up in the latest tricks and fads of internet marketing. Not because I don’t think they work, but instead because I don’t have time to learn them and put them into use. I’m too busy running my businesses (like most website owners) to get sidetracked by these new ideas.

That’s where you step in. Let’s say you just bought an ebook teaching you how to use Youtube to generate lots of traffic to a website. You’ve read this ebook 2 or 3 times and know this stuff inside out. Guess what? Now, YOU’RE CONSIDERED AN EXPERT.

Becoming an expert is pretty easy. In fact, if you know more than someone else about a certain topic, you are an expert compared to that other person. So, you being the expert on a specialized topic such as generating traffic from Youtube, can come to me as a website owner and propose an offer.

You can word is something like this…

Hi website owner,

My name is Tom and I specialize in generating traffic to websites from Youtube. I think I can generate a substantial amount of traffic to your website from Youtube if you are interested in letting me try.

I don’t charge any upfront fees or anything like that. If I’m not able to send you traffic, you don’t pay me a dime. If I do send new traffic to your site from Youtube, then I’d only charge $0.05 per visitor (about 1/4 what you would pay for pay per click traffic).

Let me know if you are interested in trying this cutting edge marketing strategy for your business.

- Amir

In this case, everyone wins. You get to earn money by implementing your new skills, and the website owner gets cheap traffic without doing any work.

If you can get just 10 clients to agree to your terms, and you send each client 500 visitors per month from Youtube, you’ll make $250/month.

So there you have it. Three simple ways of making some money from the net…

Blog Online Marketing – 8 Great Tips Leading to your Success in Blogging

To build and run the success profitable blogs for earning extra money on the internet, you must know how to do it properly. You will discover basic great tips to build your own blogs, get your blogs seen on the internet and become an outstanding among competitors on the internet. You will learn how to build, run and grow your blogs, as your marketing channel, in this article.





Generally, blogs are also known as web logs. Those blogs are the fastest growing technology on the internet. With there being so many blogs on the internet right now, how do you make your blogs known and get people to read it. How do you have the most often read blog on the niche market that you are promoting? My experiences show that there are many people who are trying to all accomplish the same thing. The big issue is how you can become an outstanding among those people.

There are several things that you can do to make your blog online marketing a success, and I am going to cover some of them in this article. I am going to share you 8 basic great tips to build your own successful blogs.

1. The first thing that you should know is that you should have your blog URL pointing to your niche market. For example, if you are trying to promote and sell sunglasses from your blog, you want your URL to say www.sunglasses.blogurl.com. Doing so will give you an extra advantage.

The free blog platform is rarely in my home based internet marketing business. Personally, I believe that the reliability will realize on your blog platform as well. Many people use the free blog platforms for their home based internet marketing business, which I don't recommend you to use them.

2. The next step you should do in your blog online marketing is to customize your own blog. Rather than having the same old blog interface like everyone else has, make your unique and interesting to look at. There are so many types of blog software on the market that having your own look should not be that difficult to accomplish.

3. Obviously it appears that the keyword research is another very important element of your blog online marketing. If you are not using the keywords on which people search, then no one is going to find your blogs. I recommend you to have variety of niche keywords in your blog. It should not just the same one over and over. Not everyone just uses the term ‘sunglasses' when they are searching for shades to keep the sun out of their eyes. Remember, the effective keyword research is an important factor to drive more traffic to your blogs.

4. In general, using SEO on your blog, which stands for search engine optimization, is a great idea as well. SEO will help get your blog out there and read, and will also help you get a better ranking with Google. Being as high as you can be in the Google search engine results is something that you want.

5. Exchanging the link among other blogs is a great approach to grow your blog's popularity. Find other sites and blogs that are in the same market as yours, but not in direct competition with you to exchange links with. This will help you out a lot as well, especially if you can get some good exchanges with high authority sites. The higher the page rank of your link exchange, the better for your blog.
6. Many internet entrepreneurs do not realize this, but having a different title tag in the HTML code on each page makes a big difference. If you have given the first page on your blog the title of ‘sunglasses', you need to be sure that none of your other pages are named this. Doing so will make Google think that you are spamming that keyword, and that will result in them punishing your blog URL.

7. When you have done your own keyword research, you will want to write content based on the research you have done. Using one or two keywords, make entries into your blog using the keywords will make it easy for your blog to be indexed under those terms. That will also result in people searching on those particular terms able to find your blog.

8. At last, pinging your blog frequently is another great way to have your blog seen. Every time that you update it, use the ping tools to ping it. This will let all of the blog directories know that you have added something new to your blog. This also brings you in some more traffic.

Final thoughts, I strongly believe that blog online marketing is pretty much the same as website marketing. However, if you have never had a website and are not familiar with marketing, the above great tips will help you get started. Be sure that you put new entries into your blog on a regular basis as well. This will help keep you up to date and current and also will keep your readers coming back for more.

Influential Tips to Push Your Video Marketing Campaign

Video marketing is one of the hottest marketing methods online right now, because it's known for helping you get targeted traffic. The following are some hints you can use to improve the quality of your marketing videos.



One of the best advantages of video marketing is the search engines love to rate videos heavier than other content. Yes, the search engines even rate videos higher than text. As a video online marketer, you must advance your rankings by giving the search engines enough videos to put you on top. You can accomplish this by putting keywords everywhere. Beginning with your title, you should insert your keyword in your title because search engines put a great deal of weight on the title when ranking sites.
In addition, you must add the main keyword to the transcipt bext of the video because the search engines also spider this area too. If you make it easy for the spiders to see and understand your video, then your chances are greater for being ranked. You can improve your search engine ranking in many different forms, but when it comes to videos in particular, you should look at the text that is all around your video due to the fact that spiders cannot crawl what is inside of the video. So don't ignore the search engines when you're creating your videos because a majority of your traffic would be coming from them.
You need to ensure that you have your content planned out well in advance, before you begin shooting. The best way to do this is to write out an outline of the topics you want to cover in your video. Since these videos are quite short you won't have a lot of time so make sure to stay focused on the subject. Don't stray off into other issues when you write up your content. Ensure that you know the topic well and what subjects you want to cover in advance and then simply go with the flow. Make a list of everything you will be discussing during the video. To get good results in terms of the response of your audience, you need to spend quite a bit of time in the preparation stage. Lastly, you are not trying to impress your viewer with your artistic abilities and are instead trying to get your message across which depends on creating great content.
Last but not in the least in order of importance: remember to make sure that your video feels like a one on one conversation with the person who is watching it. It is just like your sales letter but you are only talking to one person in this case, not a lot of people. Put emphasis on "you" and look directly into the camera when you are shooting. This shows the viewer that you have lots of confidence in your product.
In conclusion, video marketing is a simple and productive way to get specific viewers to your website, if done the right way.

How Can I Make My Site More Interesting?







Making a site appealing and interesting isn't that hard to do, but it can take a bit of work. In the paragraphs below, we are going to tell you how you can make your site more interesting. 

Think of the home page of your site as a digital front door to your company. When someone visits your "digital front door," you only have around 20 to 50 seconds to capture the visitor's attention. If you are not able to capture their attention in that little bit of time, you may never have the opportunity to gain their attention again.  Follow the following guidelines to grab the attention of your visitors:

Organize Your Site Menu

A site without an organized site menu is like a home without any organization – it gets messy. If you want your visitors to get around your site easily, then you must organize your site menu.Most web-designers use sitemaps to show viewers where to go and categories to help them be more specific with their topics and interest.

Eliminate That Clutter

Does your website look clean or does it have clutter? Get rid of that clutter? We personally cannot stand when a site has clutter. Just as you would keep your home clean for company, you must keep that site clean for visitors.

Post Articles on a Frequent Basis

No one wants to go to a site that is boring and does not have any information on it. Plus, if you really want Google and other search engines to show any interest in your site, you must have articles on there. You need high quality articles that have been written by 100% native English speakers with good grammar. If you are not able to write the content yourself, then you can easily find a writing team who has 100% native English speakers with good grammar. Just remember, if the content on your site is outdated, it could put a damper on the entire site.

Relevant Content

Not only should the content be written by 100% native English speakers, it should also be relevant. For example, if you have a site about dogs, do not post content about video games and vice versa. The content on your site must be relevant.

There you have four techniques you can use in order to make your site more interesting. Your site should do just fine if you eliminate the clutter, organize your site menu, post articles written by 100% native English speakers and post relevant content.


I will be happy to hear your suggestion too.

How to Find Good Topics for Your Blog


It is easy for blogs to lose their relevance once the topics they discuss become stale, redundant, or just simply boring. The problem is that many bloggers, especially those who have been blogging for a long time, tend to produce such sub par blog posts due to various reasons, such as burnout. Thankfully, there are some steps that bloggers can take in order to come up with blog topics that are sure to appeal to their target audience. Below is a simple guide that will teach you how to find good topics for your blog.

Research on Hot Topics

The most relevant blog posts are the ones that are topical. Especially on the Internet, there is always a shift in interest among readers as there happens to be a lot going on online. For your blog to stay interesting to your audience, you need to be updated on what's up. If you are not normally engaged in current events (or even if you are), you must perform a simple research on the current trending topics. Your research can be as simple as visiting social networking websites such as Twitter, Reddit, and Alltop to look for topics that generate a lot of buzz. However, you can go the extra mile and find out the hot search terms in popular search engines such as Yahoo! and Google.

Read Industry Websites

If your blog has a specific niche, thinking of new topics can be doubly difficult. Because your blog has a specific target, you might need to consult other niche websites in order to find great blog topics. You must visit industry websites because they typically publish new content that is considered the most interesting to everyone in your field. The topics discussed and the issues presented in such websites are essentially the ones that your audience is most likely to enjoy. So use the ideas presented on these sites as an inspiration in creating your own content about the same subjects.

Ask Your Audience

If you want to produce content that will satisfy your audience, you have the option to just go ahead and ask them what they really want to know, see, or hear. You can create a forum on your blog that will aggregate suggestions from your own readers. A poll is also a practical tool in establishing a consensus among your audience. Any blog topic or concept that is suggested by majority of your readers is definitely worth working on.

Go Back to Your Archives

Looking back at your own work history can do wonders with your creativity. By going back to hit blog posts, you can be compelled to write similarly successful posts again. You can even spot some articles that you may find particularly enjoyable to rewrite or posts that may need a sequel or an adaptation for the times. Going back to your archives can give you a lot of inspiration, which you definitely need in a time when looking for a blog post topic is a major problem for you.

Five (5) ways to promote your blog for heavy traffic



Having high traffic on your web site or blog doesn't come by chance, it comes by meticulous efforts. High traffic is equal to heavy visitor which can be converted into cash. This is why it is important to promote your blog. How do you achieve that? This article will share five (5) ways to make your blog highly traffic.

I bring this up because when you are analyzing your traffic stats and your conversion percentages and your bounce rates and things like that, you tend to assume that the traffic you are getting is traffic from people who are at least a little bit interested in your website.  But, you might be getting traffic from people you didn't intend to get to come to your site.  In other words you could be getting non-targeted traffic which is pretty much useless.

If you just wanted to get lots of traffic to your site, you could run around placing banner ads that say you have nude photos of various celebrities.   Maybe you have seen that traffic tactic used?  But unless your site actually has those photos on there, people are going to just click away from your site and probably never return to it.  That traffic isn't going to buy your products oric  click on your advertisements.  If they do happen to click on your advertisements, they probably won't convert for that advertiser anyway.   That is why you should pay strong attention to the kind of traffic you are getting.


The only kind of traffic that really matters for your website is targeted traffic from people in your target audience.  Targeted traffic means they are the type of visitor you were hoping to attract to your website.  They are people who are actually interested in what your site offers them.  That is the kind of traffic that buys products, clicks on affiliate linksand clicks on advertisements.   That is the kind of traffic that will get you paid. Below are the 5 means to ensure high traffic.

Strategy 1: Have evergreen content.

Evergreen content, I normally called Killer Content. This content is heavier and loaded by your normal post. This is done strategically to enrich your blog's content. How do you keep evergreen content? Follows the 3 steps below:

(a)  Choose educative and entertaining title

(b)  Make the information relevant to your readers

(c) Highlight the emotional benefit to your readers

Strategy 2: Post Regularly

It is best if you post two or three days to always keep your site fresh. Search engines also like fresh contents. Regular post with relevant content will give your site high traffic.

Strategy 3: Comment and participate in other niche blogs

Blog promotion is a reciprocal thing. As you take interest in other related blog by commenting, participating in others own, the more you build credibility; attract link backs and ultimately new blog readers.

The more you give powerful comments in other people's blog, you gradually win the heart and attention of the users there. Once users read and enjoy your comment, they will be happy to visit your site.

Protect Your Blog from Hackers?


As you all knew that my old domain AZBlogTips was hacked and stolen and this new domain would be my new home where I continue my dedication to affiliate marketing and make money blogging as committed. The task would be rather challenging when there are more and more bloggers joining the blog-sphere nowadys. However, with your continued support, BlogReloaded will rock again no matter when it can ranks high as AZBlogTips now.


After conducting an in-depth investigation internally and talking with my friends who are very experienced in terms of security, I would like to recommend you guys several tools that can protect your blog from external attacks.

Before going into details, let me confirm with you all that I will not be trying to get AZBlogTips back as eNom, NameCheap and GoDaddy have complicated procedures and it took me a lot of time and work for clarifications without any progresses. I feel tired of doing these things and I decided to start my blogging career with BlogReloaded.com.

Many bloggers have mentioned about how to protect your blogs from hackers but I will share with you what I have done after being hacked.

1. Use one time password:

To make sure that your blog is fully secure, my suggestion is to use one time password. You will only be one who can get this auto-generated password for every logins. There will be no fixed passwords then it is much harder for hackers to gain access to your blogs. I would recommend you guys to use One Time Password plugin which seems a great tool for secure logins. Another plugin would also be a great alternative is WP Login Security where all members even Admin would be given a one-time passwords with links to email and you have to click on that to confirm your IP to gain full access.

2. Use secure email services:

There are a lot of free email services out there and it is not hard to find one. Most of bloggers are now using Gmail which is very fast and simple, however, most of security experts advise us not to use Gmail for important things like admin email for blogs, PayPal or Domain…It is highly recommended that you should get a Hotmail account to do this as this email service is considered much secure than any others.

3. Use reliable anti-virus and internet security softwares:

It seems to be confused to all of us that which anti-virus tools are really reliable and trusted with great support. I can not say which is the best or worst but I will follow the crowd by choosing the big brands like Norton, McAfee or Kaspersky. Whatever tools you choose to work with, remember that you must update your tools on daily basis and set scanning schedule at least every 3 days. It is ideal to scan your PC on daily basis to have better monitoring of your activities.

4. Use different passwords for your accounts, emails and blogs:

The first reason that I have been hacked was from using one password for all services even my password was very strong with 20+ digits of combination. However, when hackers got it, everything would be gone. I learnt from what I have lost then I would recommend you that don't use one password for all of services that you participated in. Try to use different passwords for each service.

5. Perform daily scanning & updates for your computer:

This was what I have experienced and you should never make this mistake again. I set daily updates for my KAS tool but forgot perform daily scanning until I found out that my Yahoo email password was changed with doubt. Then I immediately performed a scan and caught 3 trojans. These trojans collected information from my PC and sent back to hackers server. Remember to do regular scanning for your computer!

6. Never click or download email/files that email services filtered as spam:

If you are using Gmail or Hotmail services, you will receive hundred of unwanted or junk emails from someone that you have never known. Some of spammers and hackers are very smart and they cloaked senders' email to spoof you with dangerous attachments. Most of reliable email services like Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo would filter them into spam folders. I made a mistake by clicking on a message with an attachment from UPS service. I guessed it was tracking number for my checks but it was not. It could carry a trojan that affected my desktop.

7. Use password recovery by mobile phone instead of questions where possible:

Email services have several options for password recovery like answering secret questions or using mobile phone. Gmail and Hotmail supports phone features and you should use them if possible. Hackers can guess your secret questions but they can not use your phone to recover passwords. If your countries are not allowed to use phone verification, try to use the most challenging answers for your secret questions.

8. Don't use default WordPress username:

This is very fundamental but many bloggers now still use Admin as username and it is much easier for hacker to find it out. WP 3+ now supports changing admin user at your installation. So, you should change admin username to what you think can be secure from hackers.

9. Never use null/cracked/pirated themes/plugins or softwares:

Many bloggers now can not afford premium or paid softwares and they usually choose cracked or hacked sources to get license. But, they never know that most of pirated softwares has malware and it can destroy your computer or play as a trojan to steal your passwords or credit card information. If you can not afford any software, try to subscribe to blogs where they usually conduct contests or giveaways to get it legally.

10. Never share passwords to anyone:

My advice is not to share your passwords to anyone even your family members. Why? You never know that they can place somewhere or accidentally posted it to their blogs that hackers can find out. Keep it secret for yourself!

11. Check your deleted emails:

Just in case hackers know your email passwords. They usually hack other services like hosting, domain or paypal where that email is used as admin login/user. They will unlock your domains and deleted all notification emails sent by providers to hide their activities. You will never know it until you check your deleted emails and things are then too late. I have been in this situation and I would recommend you not to empty trash but check it first!

12. Locked all domains and use Whois Guard services:

Hackers can not steal your domain if it is locked from your side. I have locked my domain but unfortunately hackers know my pass and email pass then he unlocked that I did not know and performed a quite transfer to other registrar like a legal owner. Keep an eye on your domain or pay some bucks to have Whois Guard service enabled for your domain names.

13. Never share hosting resource with anyone even best friends:

Many of my readers have asked me to share hosting resource with them with many reasons. But, I must say, you should never do this as they can be a messenger to hackers.

14. Be careful with any plugins you use:

Like previous article about WP Status Notifier, you should be careful using any free plugins. Not all plugins in WP directory are secure and safe for use. Take your own risks and check support forums to make sure it is safe!

15. Upgrade to the latest WP version.

Yes, TechCrunch has been hacked by not using latest WP version. You should upgrade to the latest version once it is released to make sure your blog is secure from hackers.

16. Your responsibilities:

You should pay attention to whatever you do to ensure your blog secure and you will never feel sorry for what you have done.

That is all what I will surely do after my blog was hacked and stolen. I have just taken most of these steps and I am going to complete the remaining in the coming time as some of them are paid services while my PayPal account has not yet been restored and refunded.



Good luck and I am happy to hear your suggestions too!

A lot of people and businesses want to get into blogging to gain more online exposure but choose a blog name that is not very relevant to what they are doing.  In this article, you are going to learn how to come up with a great creative blog name so that you can stand out from the rest and be unique!  It's important to think about exactly what your intent and desired outcome is for your blog before getting started. 


Get Clear On The Intention And Purpose Of Your 


You really need to think about "why" you want to start a blog and "what" you want to accomplish.  Write down what your vision is and how you think having your own blog will impact your business or personal affairs.  Be as specific as possible so that you know what both your short term and long term goals are.

This will help you get clear on what you want to obtain and help you choose a relevent domain name for your blog.


Choosing A Creative Blog Name


Now that you are clear about the purpose of your blog and what you want to achieve, you can start thinking about names that are related.  You can write down a list of potential names and use a tool like Domain Tools to see which ones are available.  I like to use their "bulk check" tool to analyze several domain names at once.


Usually you want to find something that nobody else has a domain name for yet (.com, .net, .org, etc) so that it's completely unique to you.  Typically you will want to register a .com domain name but it all depends on what the intent of your blog is.  

If you are promoting a particular product or service you can do some keyword research using the Google Adwords Tool or something similiar and come up with a list of potential blog names.


Other Methods - Creative Blog Name Generator


I kind of like doing the manual method I explained above but there are several creative blog name generator tools out there that you can use to search for a good name as well.  These tools may be very benificial especially if you are looking for a keyword specific blog name or plan on creating several sites.

You can use a combination of blog name generators, keyword research, and your own ideas to find a great site name as long as you are clear about your vision and purpose.

13 Steps to Successful Blogging

Blogs can be a very marketable and very profitable tool if used correctly. Profiting from blogs is just a matter of grabbing the attention of an audience and not doing any actual salesmen selling. In this article you will learn the 13 most essential steps to successful blogging.



1) Where to start?

You should begin your blog with a free blog hosting service such as Journal Home. I don't say that because I'm the owner, but a free blog host is very rewarding for a new blog.  Starting with a free blog hosting service allows you to begin blogging instantly without having any advance knowledge of scripts, hosting, or programming. It allows you to build an audience and buzz for your blog.  It allows you to focus on your content and not the internal maintenance of the blog. The best benefit of starting with a free service, is in the case your blog doesn't become successful you do not lose any money or are you left holding the bill. The great thing about a blog is that they are organized in chronological order, your latest entry is displayed first. When your blog traffic grows greatly and you are ready to upgrade to your own domain then you can simply make your last blog entry the announcement of your "move".  Simply add a last entry stating that your blog has "moved" and type the new blog URL address. Which directs visitors to your new blog site, keeping your following, without a major inconvenience to anyone. Upgrade as you need to...but only when you need to!

2) Niche

A niche is a targeted product, service, or topic. You should first decide on a product, service, or topic which interest you. Choose an area which you can enthusiastically write about on a daily basis. You can use keyword research services like Google Zeitgeist or Yahoo! Buzz Index to find popular searched topics. It does NOT matter if your topic is popular as long as there is a audience for your topic and the topic is precisely focused then your blog should be successful. Anything can be considered a niche as long as it has a target audience no matter how large or how small the audience is. A blog about your cat can be a niche or a blog about the species of the cat family can be a larger niche market, if there are people who are interested in hearing about your cat or the species of the cat family, then you have a niche...you can even choose to build your audience for a market which an audience does not exist, but first you must build your blog.

3) Update Daily (nothing less)

This step is a must and not a suggestion. Updating your blog daily not only keeps your blog more interesting to readers, but it also gives your blog fresh content on a day to day making it more appealing to search engines. Not updating your blog on an occasional holiday or one day here and there is understandable to most, but missing days at a time or weeks is unacceptable and will most likely result in your blog being unsuccessful. To keep your blog traffic and retain your visitors interest it is a must to update your blog daily with multiple entries. Though, I am seeing a growing trend of successful blogs that are not being updated daily, but they are successful and have a stable audience who continue to visit their blog daily.  Regardless, these blogs are still updated weekly with multiple entries.  Until you have a steady audience you should try to update your blog everyday with at least 3 or more daily entries. The best way to accomplish this is to set aside 1-2 hours a day for tending to your blog and adding new entries. It may even be wise to schedule a set time which you dedicate to your blog each day. Give yourself work hours and treat your blog as a job, what happens if you don't come to work for days or weeks...you lose money or worse you get fired! Same applies here...if you don't update your blog for days or weeks you'll lose visitors.

4) Traffic

It's no secret. You must have traffic to profit from blogs. There are numerous ways to build traffic. Paid advertising, free advertising, viral marketing, search engine marketing, RSS/XML feeds, and word-of-mouth. You should always use your blog URL address in the signature of your email, forum discussions, message boards, or any other communication media. You should submit your blog URL address to search engines and blog directories. You should submit your RSS/XML URL feed to blog ping services like Technorati, Ping-O-Matic, and Blogdigger. You should confidently share your blog with family, friends, co-workers, associates, and business professionals when it relates. Many blogs can be considered as a collection of articles, for this purpose you should submit your blog entries (those that are valuable and lengthy articles) to content syndicators like GoArticles.com or ArticleCity.com. Once submitted your articles can be picked up and published by others. The trick is to make sure you include your Blog URL address in the "About the Author" passage. What this does is create link popularity and backlinks for your blog, when someone picks up your article from the syndication then publish the article on their website the "About the Author" passage is included with each publication and the link you included is followed, crawled, and indexed by search engines. Imagine if your article is popular enough or controversial enough to produce 10,000 publications across the web. The search engines is bound to find your blog in no time with that many publications and credit you a authority on the topic, in return increasing your rank on search engines. The small effort of writing a well written article is rewarding. You should try to write at least 1 full length article every week for syndication and submit your article to at least 10 article syndicators.

5) Track Your Blog

How do you know if your blog has traffic? Just because no one is leaving comments doesn't mean your blog isn't growing. Many visitors do not leave comments but they are returning visitors. I know it sounds crazy but with blogs people are more interested in what "you" have to say! Many visitors do not comment their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time. Some do not comment at all, but are active daily visitors.

Tracking your blog does not have to be overly sophisticated usually a simple free page counter like StatCounter.com or Active Meter will do the trick. Install (copy/paste) the code into the html of your blog template and start tracking your visitors. Its better to use a service which gives you advanced traffic analysis, such as keyword tracking information, referral information, and search engine information. Visitors, returning visitors, and unique visitors should be standard for any page counter service you choose.

6) Listen to Your Audience

When using the proper page counter you should begin to see how others are finding your blog and if through search engines then which keywords are being used to find your blog. If constantly your blog is being found by 1 or more keywords then focus your blog around those keywords to make it even more powerful. When writing entry titles and entries use the keywords as often as possible while keeping the blog legible and interesting.

7) Multiple blogs

Use multiple blogging accounts (free) to attract more people. This means you should have a blog with JournalHome.com and others. The more blog accounts the better (be sure to read and adhere to the Terms of Service for each site). You can copy/paste from 1 blog to all others. Having different blog accounts is like having a publication in different newspapers. This enables you to attract more visitors and this also increases the chance that 1 of your blogs will be in the search engine results for your focused keywords.

8) Short & Concise

Aside from the lengthy article a week for syndication and publication your blog entries should be short & concise (if you can help it). Sometimes there are exceptions to the rule and you have no choice but to blog lengthy entries, but try to avoid this as much as possible. You do not want your blog entries to become hours of reading. Visitors like to easily find information and skim through your entries. It is good to be detailed and provide useful information, but do not include useless information or run away sentences that veer away from your topic.  Stay keyword-focused.

9) Digital Art

Try to include non-advertising graphics, pictures, photos, and art in your blog entries. Not too much. Once a week is fine. Graphics can sometimes bring your blog to life. Of course, the content of the blog is the most important aspect and you do not want to overshadow your content with graphics, but displaying graphics can add a bit of spice to the blog. Be choosy about your graphics and make sure they fit your entry topic. You should add content with the graphic, at least a caption. Original graphics, photos, pictures, and art is recommended.

10) Keep it Personal

A blog is most successful when it is kept personal. Try to include personal experiences which relates to the topic of your blog entry. Stay away from the business style of writing. Write with a more personal style and use first-person narratives. Do not write any of your entries as sales letters, instead share product reviews and personal endeavors.

11) Interact With Your Visitors

You now have the traffic you deserve. You should begin interacting with your visitors. Create a regular theme such as: "Monday Money Tip" or "Picture of the Week" which entices your readers to look forward to each week.

Give your readers advance notice about a product, service, or topic which you are going to review and then talk about later. If the President was scheduled to give a speech then in your blog you should state that you "will discuss the speech and give your opinion after the speech airs. Comments will be appreciated".

Try your best to find exclusive information that not many have. Do not disclose any confidential or secret information which is deemed illegal or can potentially get you into trouble, but try to get the scoop before everyone else does. Such as: If your blog was about Paris Hilton (the socialite) and you had a blog entry about "Paris Hilton Getting Married" then it would be interesting to your readers if you had a actual picture of Paris Hilton engagement ring. Give your best effort to dig and search the internet for exclusive information and you will possibly come up with something useful. Your readers will appreciate this and they show their appreciation through word-of-mouth referrals. Imagine how many readers will tell their friends, family, and others about information they only can find at your blog.

12) Make Money

Once your blog has gained some real momentum and your blog traffic is increasing then it is time to start thinking about turning your traffic into profit. You should use contextual advertising, like Google Adsense or Chitika. Contextual advertising is usually text links which use the content of your blog to publish targeted ads on your blog. The payout is usually based on a pay-per-click model, meaning for ever click an ad receives you are paid a small percentage of the profits. In addition to contextual advertising it is good to also use graphical advertising such as: BlogAds.com, Amazon.com, MammaMedia, or General Sponsored Advertising.

13) You're a Professional

You're a professional now! What are you still doing with that free blog hosting service? It is time to upgrade to a domain hosted solution. You need to get a web host and choose a domain name for your blog then check its availability. Select the blogging software you wish to use, such as: Squarespace.com, WordPress.org, MovableType.org, TypePad, etc. When you have your new blog domain setup and ready for traffic then it is time for you to announce your move on all your previous blog accounts. Your last entry to the blog should be a "move" announcement. The title should be "Moved" and the blog entry should state something like "I have a new home for my blog, please bookmark and follow the link: http://www.yournewblogdomainname.com/". This way all returning visitors and new readers should not have any problem finding your new blog domain.  Plus, search engines can easily index and crawl your new blog, since your old blog should already be popular with the search engines.

At the level of a professional blogger you may want to team up with 1 or more other bloggers. This will create a more interesting and more powerful blog. The old saying "two heads is better than one", more authors mean more advertising and exposure because each author will have a vested interest in the blog. The idea of a team blog is to make it profitable and rewarding for all authors, while continuing to target the blog topic and keeping the blog interesting for visitors.


Following these blogging techniques should make your blogging experience much more rewarding. There is no guarantee that your blog will become popular or a household name, but the effort should at least put you one step closer. Making money online is not an overnight experience like many may think, but making money online is definitely a foreseeable possibility. As well, growing popularity on the web is not an overnight experience, but through time, dedication, and persistence you will be rewarded with all the royalties of blogging.

The 4 Possible Reasons Why You're Not A Successful Blogger


A lot of people mistakenly think that becoming a successful blogger is as easy as churning out as much posts as they can each day.

Now while you may think that your blog articles are simply some of the best the Internet has ever seen, you still won't achieve the success that you've always wanted without knowing a few key pointers first.

So if you're looking to give your blog the online attention that it truly deserves, here are the most common reasons why a lot of aspiring bloggers fail right even before they really got started:

You don't have the right mindset.

Some people start a blog just for the sake of jumping on the blogging bandwagon. They do it simply to appear in vogue with the latest Internet trends. They do it because almost every web denizen is doing it.

These people forget that the number one reason to start a blog is sharing valuable information with others. They overlook the fact that blogging is mainly about providing expertise to other people who want to improve their know-how on a specific field of interest.

Your chances of actually gathering eager readers as a blogger is practically close to nil if you're blogging just to go with the flow.

You are not really familiar about the subject you're blogging about.

As I pointed out earlier, blogging is primarily about sharing your expertise to other people. It's important that you are really adept at the subject you're writing about or else potential readers will think that you're just taking them for a ride and not check out your blog again anytime soon.

Impressive blog posts are not just superbly written. They also have to be very informative, insightful and relevant. You have to convince people that they will definitely improve their knowledge when they read your articles.

Keep clear from topics that you don't really know about and focus on the ones that you do. This is perhaps the most effective strategy to gather lots of followers as a blogger.

You are not exerting effort to improve.

How you improve your own know-how as a blogger can easily make or break your chances of being the next blogging sensation. The Internet is a constantly evolving place and if you're not keeping up with it as a blogger, you won't be able to take your blog off the ground no matter how hard you try.

Sure you may be one of the most sought after experts in your field, but if you don't make it a point to improve daily, your blog is definitely going nowhere. Successful bloggers always try to hone their knowledge each and every day.

If you're looking to have your place with the most prominent bloggers these days, then it's essential to become better at what you do every time you have the chance.

You are not patient.

A lot of people fail at blogging simply because they think that being successful at it is an overnight deal. Apart from doing lots of hard work, achieving blogging success can take a long time.

Don't give up just yet if you feel that your blog is not getting the online attention that it needs. Just keep on doing what you do best and you'll soon see a lot of loyal followers coming your way sooner than you expect.
