Makin The Money

Many people are jumping on the make money online blog train. There are a ton of make money online blogs! Next time your checking around the internet I want you to take a close look at how these blogs are set up. Before you do that though, take a look at johnchow.com and then the others. Most of the time you will find you have a sense that you have been to that blog before, when you get that feeling think about what john chows blog looks like. Yes your not crazy they all look the same!

Here is the problem with doing that to your blog. I look at blogs that are trying to copy him exactly and think “run away” so I leave them and never come back. There are a few exceptions, but I don’t read them often. My tip for you if your starting a make money online blog is this, make it different, have a different approach, don’t copy exactly what the pro’s are doing, because it may not work for you or people will just see you as a copycat site and run away.

My advice, unless your site is about cars, don’t get a theme with one. That is the first thing that bothers me and a few other people. Find something else that you think represents money and power. I have used a home on this site and now of course I have money bags. Find something you like or make your own theme. In other words be unique so that people remember you.

I have now found out that I can not buy a house until I pay off most of my debt. So I will hopefully be benefiting you more by adding to my money making arsenal. I’m working on a few things that I will be telling you more about later. Hopefully they work out okay.

One thing I have to stress is that making money online is not easy, it involves a lot of work, time and some money to start. Yes you can get a blogger blog for free and do paid posting and sell advertising and have adsence on there, but eventually if you want to be taken seriously you will need to by your own domain and have hosting.

One way I am going to help this blog out is to write about making money online for articles I will be submitting to websites. Hopefully I can help some people along the way, along with making my self more money. Articles are a great way to get people to check out your website or blog and maybe even buy a few things if your selling anything. Try it, but make sure what you write is good, clean of affiliate links and benefits not only you getting traffic, but the person reading it.

Something I learned early on in my online quest to make money was to make sure I didn’t just do one thing. I blog, but I also do mystery shopping and get paid to sites that help me get through the hard times. This past month is a great example. I have not made much blogging, but because I had a mystery shop that paid well I will not have to worry about a lack of funds. I had hoped that I could get a head, but at least I am not behind any.

When you look to making money online you want to expand into different areas. Eventually I plan to start selling jewelry or Avon again just to add to what I can do. I may even try something else. Who knows. I will always blog as I love doing it. I may cut down on the number of blogs I have though I think I now have too many.

Yes this is real. Here is the deal with Movie theater auditing. This is something I do and have done for just over 4 years. I enjoy it because my job does change, I get to watch at least one free movie over the weekend and it pays well. I make anywhere between $150 and $300 in a weekend. Others I have run into on jobs have made over $700 in one weekend.

The big thing with this is that you have to be able to work all weekend. That means no parties or other weekend events. Yes after time you can start to let them know you are busy, but if you do that right away they will just stop hiring you. All you usually have to do is count the number of people going in to the movie you are assigned to. Sometimes the company will have you do more then that. It really just depends on what the client wants.

The following are a list of a few companies that do theater auditing.

Certified Field Associates

TNS Media

LRA

I have decided to let you guys in on a secret I have. I make money blogging. Okay it’s not a big secret. But I also make money off of websites that are just sitting there doing nothing. Best of all they are free to make. So here is my top 5 list of website makers,

5. Doodle Kit, this one I honestly have not tried, but a friend of mine uses it and I have seen it in action. It easy to use and is recommended by PC World.

4. Bravenet, this one also offers free hosting and a bunch of cool toys. I use the extra stuff occasionally on some of my other sites.

3. Google page creator. I’ve only played with this a little but it’s easy to use.

2. Blue Voda, I tried this one a year or so ago and loved it, but didn’t want to have them host the domain. I wanted it on my own. The product is still good though.

1. Geocities, most people know yahoo and trust them, that is why these guys are number one in my book. I have 2 email accounts with them and that means 2 geocities domains.

A few months ago I decided to see if Feng shui could help me make money. Well I have found it may actually work. You can read about it on my interior design blog. I figured what would it hurt. All I had to do was plant a few seeds and watch them grow. Unfortunately the first time did not work, but the second time did.

I did this because I’m an interior design student and interested in feng shui and how it works. It’s a big deal right now and many people swear by it, even Donald Trump. I figure if it’s good for him, I have to see if it works. My income has gone up and I may even be able to get a mortgage to buy a home. I now have to come up with the down payment. I’m hoping I can do it by the end of August.

The point of this post is that try anything that is free, or only cost $5 or less. See where it gets you and go from there.
