Short description
Blogging has been used for some years as a platform for individuals to record chronological publication of comments and thoughts on the web. They usually include philosophical reflections, opinions on the Internet and social or political issues. This article explains how one could go beyond this to capitalise the strength of blogging to enhance one’s Internet business.
A weblog, or more popularly known as “blog”, is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.” Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog.
The popularity of blog is gaining momentum globally with each passing month. A recent survey conducted by Comscore.com shows the following findings:
1) 50 million of the population in the USA visited blog sites in the first quarter of 2005
2) This indicates an increase of about 45% compared to First Quarter of 2004.
3) An average blog visitor spends 23 hours per week online while an average Internet user spends only 13 hours online.
4) Blog visitors are 11% more likely than the average Internet users to have incomes of $75,000 or more.
5) Blog visitors are 30% more likely to buy products or services online.
Anybody thinking of starting an online venture, would be silly not to recognise the importance of blogging being one of the best tools of Internet marketing.
Blogging is a perfect way for the average person to make money online without going through all the troubles and frustration of learning how to set up a website and be an efficient internet marketer.
Let’s now talk about nich products. Why do you need a nich product? And what has this to do with “blogging”? You may ask. It is because your online business has little hope of succeeding if you’re going head to head with the big boys. As a small Internet entrepreneur, you can never hope to compete with the big boys in terms of the power of pricing strategy and advertising. But you can be successful by finding niche markets or niche products that you seldom find at your local mall in oder to stay away from the empowering presence of the big guys.
Niche market basically is a market with a significant amount of interest online that does not encounter the same competition as in other regular products. You can easily create a niche market based on any topics including even your own hobbies, e.g. gardening, guitar, tropical fish, D.I.Y etc. As long as the topic is being searched for online, you would have a great opportunity of making some profit through adding ads to your blog and making some effort in promoting your targeted affiliate programs and products.
Many internet marketing newbies opt for blogs to set up their niche markets because as beginners, they can very easily add pages, images, banners, downloads, ebooks etc to their blogs. Unlike the regular websites, they do not need to worry about having to understand HTML (the website design language)!
Savvy marketers have discovered that blogging is one of the best Internet marketing methods that is free because you could create your blog almost immediately at no cost compared to the setting up of a conventional website.
Putting information in your blog to help establishing your presence in the Web is now a growing phenomenon. Blogging for your Internet business is one surefire way to enhance the visibility of your products and services.
With the continuing improvement in software technology, publishing, introducing plug-ins, banners, pictures etc to create a fun and interesting “website” has become a breeze even to those retirees with old and rusty brains.
The more content you add to your blog, the more traffic you get. And you can add these materials almost on a daily basis.
You could get high ranking search engine placement for many internet marketing terms just by designing your posts around certain targeted keywords. This phenomenon is more prominent when handling niche markets due to the lack of competition. Free articles could be easily obtained from many article directories in the web and posted to your blogs for the benefits of your visitors.
There’s almost no limit to what you could and want to do with your blog. You can include your ideas, opinions, expertise in your field of work, resumes, home recipes, pictures, audio or video clips, e-books, poetry, products, services, consultations etc., etc.
What are the main differences between a blog and a website then? You may ask.
Most websites are relatively permanent with only occasional updating. With blogs, you could post any new content almost on daily basis. Also, websites are usually less personal as far as their relationship with the visitors is concerned.
How do you start your first step to set up a blog? There are many host services providers you could join. Among the most popular are Blogger.com and LiveJournal.com. You could start with Blogger.com which many newbies find serving their needs just perfectly.
With Blogger.com, posting your web content is like a breezy walk in the park. Photographs of your produces etc, along with any text, could be uploaded to your blog right away with just a few clicks of your mouse.
Another facility you could use is Audioblogger that enables audio posting to your current blog site with any phone at any time from any place. It is not only effective but also easy and fun. You call a given number, record a post, then your blog is updated with an audioblogger icon and a link to your recorded audio. Your message in your own voice is instantly posted! The beautiful part of it all is the fact that this is totally free of charge!
Blogging has been used for some years as a platform for individuals to record chronological publication of comments and thoughts on the web. Now we know how one could go beyond this to capitalise the strength of blogging to enhance one’s Internet business.

There are some really great ways to make some good money online and it isn’t just a dream. You will have to design a web page that will draw a steady and growing stream of highly targeted traffic. Once you have accomplished this goal it is now time to offer products and/or services to your avid consumers. They are paying close attention to your site and now they want more. The first challenge you will face will be converting your visitors into buyers. This is the focus no matter if they are buying a product directly from you or an affiliate product. People always visit sites and are looking for something free. To help persuade your visitors to consider buying anything you will have to make advertising like the content that attracted them to the site in the first place. Two of the best ways to turn your traffic to cash with out having to develop or promote a product of your own are attracting paid advertising and affiliate products.
Attract paid advertising can be used with great success when your site is getting a lot of visitors interested in a specific topic. You will be able to sell ad space to businesses that have related products. The business will pay you a specified amount to be linked on your site. To make any real good money you would have to have many advertisers and many web pages. Many of the old advertising schemes don’t generate the high business they used to and so the fee is much smaller now than it was in the past. If you are not interested in having to search out advertisers that would possibly be interested in your market. Then go Google. Google’s AdSense program is a great market place. It evaluates the content on your site and serves ads it thinks will be of interest to your readers. When someone clicks on the ad Google gets a fee from the company and then pays you a portion of it. This is an easy hands free moneymaker. This will definitely give you some cash from your site traffic. Ad brokering companies offer similar services. Companies like Real Media and Burst Media are popular companies who offer these services. Make sure to look at the terms and conditions of any company because they all are different.
Promoting affiliate products is a fabulous way to make good money on line and very easy to set up. This is basically a no-risk partnership between you and the product producer. You will want to find a product that is related to what your site content is about. You will promote this product on your site and every time one of your visitors buys the product you will a percentage of the sale. When you sign up for the affiliate program you are issued a special affiliate URL that tracks the visitors you send to the company’s web page. If sales are generated from the people sent on your URL code then you get paid.

I monitor a lot of blogs, forums and news sites with my trusty RSS reader. One of my favorite sites is SitePoint, which is a terrific discussion forum for webmasters, programmers and domain name investors.
I’ve had some great conversations on the forums and via IM that have been very enlightening.
In a recent post, one of the SitePoint forum guys was lamenting the fact that he was having trouble getting to 100 unique visitors per day.
There was some good, solid advice that I would like to share and build upon:
1. Make sure your posts are optimized with popular keywords. I would be careful with this one because you don’t want to lose your blogging voice or make your pages read awkwardly by jamming in as many keywords as you can. Do check for the most popular keywords in your universe, though, using a tool like WordTracker. As a poster on SitePoint said, using the competition values in WordTracker allows you to pick keywords that haven’t soaked the web yet.
2. Use a service like PinGoat to ping blogger indexing sites every time you change your site. Pinging is basically extending an invitation to indexing services like Technorati, IceRocket and Feedster to come to your site and index it. The more indexing you get, the more exposure you get. PinGoat is a terrific service that pings them all at the same time.
3. Update your Google Sitemap every few posts and resubmit it. A Google Sitemap is an interesting and amazing phenomenon. Here is how Google explains it:
The Google Sitemaps program is two-way communication between webmasters and Google. You can give us information about your site so we can index it more effectively, and we can show you how we see your site and tell you about any trouble we’ve had crawling it.
Basically you create a special xml file and tell Google to go look at it. It uses the file to better index the site. And it definitely works. There’s even a Plugin for WordPress that will build the perfect sitemap for Google. You can read more about sitemaps by visiting the Google Sitemapspage.
4. Post relevant comments on blogs related to your content area. Look around, find people blogging about the same stuff as you. Monitor their blog sites and participate in the discussion. Be sure to include a link to your site in all of your comments. It’s a great way to correspond with like-minded people and get your name and site name out there.
5. Search for link partners and link exchanges at least once a week. If you find a site you like, include it on your link page and drop the site owner an email. He or she will most likely list your site as well. Join a couple of free or cheap link exchange sites and stick to your subject area when exchanging links. Always visit the prospective link exchange site and ask yourself if you would be doing your readers a service by sending them to that site. If not, don’t link to the site.
6. Write great content, and don’t plug stuff unless you are familiar with it and approve of it. If you write interesting content about subjects that interest people they will always find you. Don’t hustle your readers &ndash if you are going to plug something for money, make sure the product or service is something you would use and recommend. If people sense a hustle they will not convert and they will not come back.
7. Watch your keywords and make sure they are performing. DigitalPoint has a terrific tool that will help you track your keyword placement over time so you can see how your efforts are doing.
8. Perform some basic Search Engine Optimization. Learn how to not only optimize your posts, but optimize your entire site. You can get some great tips and tools at SeoChat.com
9. Shake loose a couple of bucks and buy some ad space. Once you’re certain your blog looks and operates perfectly, spend $100 on Adsense ads and see how that helps.
10. Be patient. It isn’t going to happen overnight. It will take weeks or months to get things rolling.
Many coaches put up web sites with the hope of getting clients from the Web. What usually happens is they get nothing.
Here’s the reason.
A web site isn’t an ad. No one “peruses” web sites in some “web site newspaper.” In fact, no one will go to your site unless you specifically invite them. A web site actually needs advertising.
You need to build traffic to your site.
There are a lot of great ways to do this and one terrific way is with backlinks.
What is a backlink?
A backlink is a link FROM another site TO your site.
For example, if you are a member of Coachville, and someone is looking for a coach, then it is possible that this person sees your listing in the “Find a Coach” section and clicks a link to your web site.
This is a backlink from Coachville to your site.
Backlinks are also referred to as “in-bound links” and sometimes can be called “reciprocal links.”
Many of the links that coaches have on their web site are designed to take visitors from the coach’s web site to other web sites. These are usually located in a link section or a resources section. These are also called “forward links” or “outbound links.”
The important thing to note is that a backlinks bring visitors TO your site. Once visitors come to your web site, you can turn them into clients, product sales, newsletter subscribers, commissions and more.
So why are backlinks totally awesome?
Firstly, the obvious, is direct traffic to your site. This traffic can be cashed in for clients or sales.
Secondly, when done right, “backlinking” can sky-rocket your search engine rankings and thus result in even more traffic.
How?
From the eyes of search engines, your “site’s worth” increases when the number of backlinks increases. Each backlink raises the popularity of your web site.
It’s like being the popular kid in school. The more kids who know you, the more popular you are.
What does this lead to?
When people put the phrase “life coach” into a search engine, for the most part, the sites with higher popularity will come up first.
Thirdly, backlinks can create consistent traffic.
Sending out newsletters and giving talks often bring you immediate “bursts” of traffic.
Bursts of traffic are great, but require you to make those additional efforts in order to continue to get that traffic.
Backlinking builds a steady, consistent, and predictable stream of traffic that keeps coming without additional work. You can confidently expect the same number of visitors each month.
Fourthly is the snowball-effect.
Creative backlinking strategies can create a situation where your web site is attracting backlinks without you doing any work at all. It’s like a snowball going down-hill that continues to grow.
Blogging and SEO - A perfect Small Business Internet Marketer Match
It has become pretty obvious that blogs have been become an important part of marketing for almost any type of online business. They are unmatched resources when it comes to connecting with customers and potential customers.
But, there is an additional benefit that shouldn’t be over-looked: there impact on your Search Engine Optimization efforts. Blogging can greatly enhance any websites natural search results through regular postings, and natural keyword placement. There in fact is no stronger way to market ones website for free than by blogging with natural keywords.
Similar to article marketing, posting daily blogs with the keywords of your business included can have remarkable effects on the ranking of your site in any given search engine, and thus net you more traffic. One key to gaining more traffic from keywords is to use ‘niche’ keywords. These are keywords or keyword phrases that may be searched for less often, but that have less competition. This means you may be able to rank much higher for these keyword. An example: The keyword term “baseball” is certainly searched for often, but there are millions of websites optimized around this keyword. However a keyword phrase like “Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz news” would have fewer competitors. The longer keyword also increases the likelihood that your blog contains exactly what the visitor is looking for.
Getting picked up in search engines can lead to increase volumes of traffic heading to your site every day. There are top keyword placers that use blogs to retain huge amounts of daily traffic to their sites just by integrating a variety of niche keywords into their posts. The amazing thing about blogs is they are often picked up by the search engines almost as quickly as one posts to it, which makes it an even more powerful tool for SEO purposes. Our experience has been that blogs that take advantage of Google’s Blogger or Wordpress are quickly indexed.
Another way blogging can help your site’s search engine ranking is by the quality score. Most search engines, including Google rank sites with a quality score, the more unique, user provided content, the higher it appears the quality score becomes. If a website is just a sales page, and a few pictures, the quality score will most likely be low. But if a site has a blog on it, with fresh, daily posts, the quality score becomes much better, and thus the site gets ranked much higher when people are searching for your niche, or keyword terms.
If you haven’t considered a blog for the pure marketing aspect of it, it’s probably time you considered it from the SEO perspective. You’ve got nothing to loss but website visitors.
In the first part, we discussed how backlinks bring you direct traffic in addition to increased search engine rankings. That’s totally awesome!
In the second part, we went into keys on creating a good backlink. This included choosing good places for backlinks, as well as making the link attractive to both search engines and people.
In this third part, we will get you started on where to start looking for backlinks so you can begin to build traffic, get more clients, and sell more products.
Getting started
As a coach, you are probably the last person who needs to hear this, but just like any endeavor, it’s good to set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timed) goals.
For example, if you aren’t getting any action at your web site because you have very little traffic, then a good goal would be five inquiries a month, six months from now.
The next step is to set aside time to get backlinks. A great start is to commit a measly one hour a week.
Backlinking takes time.
It takes time for you to find places to get backlinks. It takes time for other web sites to set up your backlink. It takes time for search engines to find those links.
Therefore, the next thing to do is set up a spreadsheet to help you keep track of backlink request that have not yet been fulfilled.
The spreadsheet should include:
• The web site you are seeking a link from
• The date you requested the link
• The title and description of the link
• A box to mark of when your link has been set up
• A place to put miscellaneous notes
Your first target &ndash The Open Directory Project
The ODP (The Open Directory Project) is a general web directory that catalogs web sites on the Internet.
The ODP is a great place to start your backlinking program for two reasons.
The main reason is that many search engines hold The ODP in high regard &ndash that is, if your web site is listed in The ODP, it must be a legitimate site. This helps your rankings.
Secondly, The ODP has simple, clear submissions guidelines which familiarize you with the process of requesting backlinks from other web sites.
The Open Directory Project is here:
.dmoz.org
There are a lot of other directories and the number grows. To find more popular directories, simply do a search on “top web directories 2006.”
Take a second to celebrate!
Once you have gotten listed in The Open Directory Project, stop and celebrate!
Up to this point you have:
• Devised a linking plan.
• You have learned about submission policies.
• You broke past a common resistance point: getting started!
• You now have one of the most valuable links you can get.
You have created the core system of building your traffic. All you need to do is “rinse and repeat.”
Next - Coaching-Specific Directories
You may not be aware of them, but there are web directories that are specific to coaches.
For example, .lifecoachguide.com has listings of life coaches.
By getting listed in coaching-specific directories, your web site will gain higher rankings when people do searches related to coaching.
For example, if you get listed in a life coach directory, then your web site will rank higher for the term “life coach.”
These types of directories are easy to find. Just do a search on “life coach directory.”
Next - Coaching Organizations
Coachville is a great place for a backlink. Their link section is very easy for search engines to find, and the Coachville’s web site is very popular.
They are, however, making some modifications to their site which may eliminate the search engine value of getting a backlink from Coachville.
A backlink at ICF’s web site is good for possible referrals when someone is using their “Find a Coach” service.
Unfortunately, the ICF’s directory pages don’t give you a backlink that search engines can easily find (at the time of this writing). So your search engine rankings aren’t improved by being listed here.
Next - Other Existing Relationships
Many coaches belong to local networking groups like BNI or Chamber of Commerce.
Getting links to your site from these places are valuable because they are often easy to get, they give you more local appeal, and you often have a high degree of control over what goes into your link.
Happy Hunting
The above plan can keep you busy for months.
Over time, your tracking senses will sharpen and you will discover more and more places to seek for backlinks. Jot them down as you go.
You will see an increase in web site traffic and activity in as little as one to two months.
After about six months you’ll be cooking!
Good luck and happy backlinking!
1) Collection of back links: Do collect back links for your site. More you have back links proves more you are popular in the web world. Back links are counted as vote for the particular site. So do link exchange with those sites, which are relevant to the theme of your business as well as having good page ranking and also placed in the top level of the SERPs.
2) Article submission: Article submission is the best way of getting quality one-way back links. Write articles and then submit it into the article sites and place the site link under the option of author’s details.
3) Directory submission: Directory submission is another way of getting one way back links.
4) E-mail marketing: Using web-mining data and collecting visitor details or collecting old customer details thus web owner can promote their site through e-mail messaging. Also yahoo provides option for placing signature in their yahoo mail ids. This is also a good option for e-mail marketing.
5) Uses of signature link in popular forums: these days web forum is the global platform for any web users. Net savvy people like to spend time in forum, they use web forum for their own queries, for their research work as well as for knowledge. Web forum is also a global platform for online marketing too. Placing own site link as the signature link assures increased number of visitors as well as a certain amount of back links.
6) Blogging for indirect marketing: one must have own blog and use this blog for indirect marketing. Blog can be used as a supporting base for online marketing. Fundamental concept of blogging is to carry fresh content all time. Bloggers always try to provide fresh news, small articles in their own blog as a result blogger always have good amount of visitors. So collecting back links from popular blogs is another way of marketing.
7) Banner exchange: Exchange your banner with other sites and place link in there off.
Article exchange: Write good relevant articles on complementary aspects and exchange those articles with other site in lieu of back links for your site.
9) Adsense marketing: Google adsense marketing is one of the world-renowned marketing options. But web owner must be aware of the limitations of the uses of adsense. Otherwise a site giving more attention to google adsens will be considered either as a scraper site or as a site made for adsense reveue only. Visitors and major search engine like big G or yahoo or msn do not like these sites.
10) Offline marketing: Business owner can promote their site locally by using normal offline marketing strategies like news paper adds, TV adds, banner adds etc. It will help them to gain local popularity. Say for example: bharatmatrimony.com or shadi.com can give their off line news paper add in Sunday Anandabazar Patrika in well known “Patra-patri” column to gain the local popularity.

I stumbled across this quite by accident. I knew it was there because I’d seen it before but I forgot about it until today.
So I did some checking to see if it still does work and based on my limited test it appears that it does.
What I’m about to explain to you may not only help get sandboxed sites indexed and ranking quicker, it can even make the site owner a little money.
I’ve been blogging for a few years now. I started it as a hobby and the blog I had was actually a blog before there were blogs. In other words I was “blogging” with a regular website.
Then a friend turned me on to Movable Type. It is a software which allows me to automate the publishing of content on my website.
I was having problems getting my website/blog indexed by Google back then &ndash this was about 3 years ago.
It was also around this time that I heard of a new program called Google Adsense (https:.google.com/adsense) in which one could place code on their web pages that would display ads, and the website owner would earn money on every click.
I thought “what a cool idea” so I immediately applied for an account. 48 hours later I was placing ads on my blog.
Shortly after this while reviewing my server logs I noticed that I was getting Google referrals! That’s right, within days of placing the ads on my site, it had been fully indexed by Google and it was actually ranking quite highly for terms related to the content I was posting.
I couldn’t believe my luck. Here I thought all I was going to do was make a little money on the side yet I found that the Adsense may have actually helped get my site indexed.
Remember, this was before the Sandbox, but it was a time when link popularity ruled the web. But since it was only a hobby I wasn’t worried about building links. Because I already had a few loyal readers, I wasn’t trying to position this site.
Flash forward to December 2005 and a friend asks me to help him set up his own blog. Actually he wants two of them &ndash each with their own topics, and both very different in nature.
I consult with him and on February 1, 2006 we register two new domains for him.
He proceeds to build out his blogs and as he’s doing this I suggest placing ads on them. At the time I wasn’t thinking that it would help with indexing, just another way to increase exposure of the ads to generate more revenue for me and him.
We agree to split the money and he places the ads on the two new sites.
I didn’t think much of it until his visitor traffic started going up. He also placed Google Analytics code on the sites and gave me access to them so I could take a look to see where all this traffic is coming from.
Turns out, he’s getting a few Google organic referrals.
Imagine that &ndash two brand new sites, with no incoming links, but somehow they have managed to sneak out of the Google Sandbox in 3 weeks?
Imagine my surprise, considering I have another site that I started over a year ago, and have been dutifully building content and links, yet I can’t get it out of the sandbox. In fact, the current Google cache is of pages that no longer exist, and haven’t for months.
My explanation, however “out there” it seems to be is that somehow the Google Ads have allowed the site to bypass the sandbox and move into the index almost immediately.
The first Google organic referral came last week, just two short weeks after the site was tagged with the Google Adsense code. Since then, both sites have received a handful of Google organic referrals.
Based on this very small and somewhat limited test case, my gut is telling me that one way out of the sandbox and into the SERPs is to apply for and install Google AdSense onto your site.
At the very least you’ll make some money &ndash maybe not a lot, just a few dollars a month (Google only pays out in $100 increments mind you, so it may take a while to get that first Google check) and the best case is that you’ll bypass the sandbox, get indexed quickly and even start driving organic referrals to your site.
Like I said, this isn’t anything near a scientific study but it seems pretty clear to me that what has helped these two sites become indexed so quickly are the ads.
So if you’re stuck in the sandbox, perhaps applying for AdSense is a good idea.
I know I’m going to be placing ads on my other site to see what effect (if any it has). My guess is that within a few days it too will start ranking.
The latest craze online is buying private label rights to various products.
The concept is a great one; you purchase the rights to something and then you’re free to edit it, put your name on it, and basically do whatever you like with it.
Sounds great right? Wrong!
There are a lot of problems with Private Label Rights products
The main problem is that most people who buy them will never use them. Sure it sounds like a great deal, but if you don’t have a plan to use the private label rights product and put it into action, you’re just wasting your money.
Once you store it away on your hard drive, it’ll be stuck there.
This applies to resale rights as well…only purchase what you plan to use immediately or in the very near future.
Aside from that, my main gripe with private label rights is that they’re usually complete junk!
Whatever you do, please follow this advice: If you are not a programmer or have extensive knowledge with scripts or software, do not purchase private label rights to them!
You’ll most likely be stuck with a non-working copy of a software product that will require a lot of money to get working.
You could also be under the impression that it works and then your customers will be upset and asking for refunds left and right
Be smart. Only purchase what you plan to use at that moment or in the near future, and don’t buy scripts or software unless you’re comfortable with programming (or have someone who can handle fixing them and can help you with support).
This can seriously damage your reputation, and as an Internet Marketer, a good reputation is extremely valuable. You must protect it at all costs.
Do your homework. Make sure you are buying private label rights to a quality product that has potential, not some piece of garbage that you will never use.
Stick with what you’re comfortable with, and private label rights will allow you to create some great, unique products!
Cyberspace has a NEW marketing tool, even though they’ve been around for quite some time, yet, ONLY recently have been recognized as a Powerful communication tool for Internet marketers.
If you’ve been following the latest Internet marketing trends like I have, then you’ve definitely heard of them.
What’s this new marketing tool I’m taking about that every Serious marketer should have in place?
BLOGS! …(A.K.A. Web-Log).
Now, just for those of you who aren’t quite sure what a BLOG is, here’s a quick definition:
A BLOG(A.K.A. Web-Log) is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating(usually on a daily to weekly basis) a blog is called “Blogging” and someone who keeps a Blog is a “Blogger”.
There you have it, quick and to the point.
If you want to read up more about “Blogs”, here’s a link to an article I wrote earlier that goes more in depth.
.internetwondersezine.com/blogsexplained.htm
Okay. For the rest of this article I want to focus on how ONE can $$Profit$$ from having there own Blog.
I’m going to list three ways that I think are the Best and most Powerful ways to get the most out of your Blog.
So, with that said, let’s go to Profit Tactic #1.
Profit Tactic #1. Writing “Articles”.
Writing “Articles” are a very Powerful way to profit from your Blog.
There are many reasons why “Articles” are valuable to your Blog, but, for the purpose of this article I’m going to give you the most important part, and that’s your “Resource Box” at the end of your article.
Your “Resource Box” is like a classified ad and holds critical information about You, your websites and what you have to offer them after they’ve read your article.
The links within your “Resource Box” could lead to your own Product or Service you have to offer, or they could lead to a Affiliate Product related to the content of your article.
This is a great way to give them something of “Value”, which is the information within the article, and a great way to get them to take action by way of getting them to click on one of the links within your “Resource Box”.
That’s “Profit Tactic #1″.
Profit Tactic #2. Writing “Product Reviews”.
Writing “Product Reviews” is a great way to profit from your Blog simply because they allow you to Soft-Sell your potential customer by way of giving them your personal opinion on the product you are recommending and then providing them with a link if they wish to look into it further, instead of throwing a Sales Pitch at them.
Nobody likes to be sold, but, offering them your insight on a Product and/or Service that could help solve the problem they’re dealing with is yet another great way to profit from your Blog and make you look like a Hero.
That’s “Profit Tactic #2″.
Profit Tactic #3. “Text Ad” Programs.
“Text Ad Programs” like Affiliate Power Ads or Google Adsense are yet Another great way to profit from your Blog.
I’ve listed these two “Text Ad” programs for a reason, One is a Pay-Per-Click(Google Adsense) and shows related ads to the content on that particular webpage and the other one(Affiliate Power Ads) makes You up to $60 to $100 dollars in commissions on a single click.
Here are the links for you to check them out further if you wish.
Google Adsense –
.internetwondersezine.com/googleads.htm
Affiliate Power Ads –
.internetwondersezine.com/powerads.htm
They are both FREE to join and only take you minutes to set-up depending on your experience.
Here’s an example of how mine looks if you were to set-up your Blog through Blogger.com — .blogger.com with both of these programs. theiwe.blogspot.com
The great thing is… they’ll be displayed on every page of your Blog when you make a post.
