Makin The Money

The bad thing about blogs and websites is that you have to keep your traffic up. I have noticed a huge decrease in my traffic on all of my blogs the last few weeks. I know a lot of this has to do with summer and everyone being outside and enjoying life, but that doesn’t mean that my work is done. I still have to get visitors to my site so that I can make some cash.

I am trying a few new things, like ppc advertising for one blog that I didn’t do before. I’m also joining several more social networking sites and putting up rss feeds on them. These are two very good ways to get some more traffic to your site and I recommend to anyone who can do this to do it.

Remember having a website or blog is work, you can’t just put it up there and expect to make millions without doing anything.

I have noticed a drop in my traffic on most of my blogs. I think a lot of it has to do with my lack of time to write, that will only last another 2 weeks and then I’ll have more time. Until then I have decided to try another new way to get my sites out there. Blog upp is a new way I have found to get my blogs advertised for free. Right now I don’t have money to pay for advertising and I probably won’t for a while, but thats okay since you can find many ways to advertise for free.

The best part about Blog upp is that you don’t actually have to sign up for anything, you just place the widget on your site after you give them your URL and that’s it. As you can see I am testing it out with this blog. It hasn’t done much yet, but I just put it up yesterday.  I’ll keep you updated as to how it goes.

If your new to making money online and your excited about it. I would recommend starting a blog if you have not already. The catch is start one on your own domain. People who have some online experience know that blogs on free programs like blogger tend to be spammy. These blogs usually don’t last long so advertisers won’t advertise on them.

If you belong to any affiliate programs whether it be for advertising products or get paid to sites. You want to remember one thing, do not spam your links on every post you make, every forum you join or every comment you make on other blogs. These links, except those on your own blog will be deleted. Trust me I’m a moderator on a forum, that is our job.

The best thing to do is get people to like you and trust you. On your blog post about yourself, talk about your interest besides making money and go from there. This of course is for your first blog, I have a total of 5 blogs and link them together often so that people can get to know me and my interest. This blog was my 4th blog and I have really just had some fun with it. I’m looking to help people, not just myself. I hope that shows in my writing. This is how you should go about a blog about money making. Don’t make it just to get referrals or a sale, make it to help people, if they sign up with your link or buy a product that was on your site, great. If not at least you helped someone. I think so many people right now want money so badly that they forget that others need it just as bad.

The point of this is to make your blog personal. I started with a general blog where I talked about anything, I did this so I could write whatever I wanted to. I wasn’t making any money at the time. I think in order to start a money making blog you need to have at least made $300 or more a month for a few months. It’s not much but many people will agree that $300 is better then nothing. So if your starting out, start with a general blog, write about yourself, about your programs and about anything else you want to. Put some advertising on the sidebar. Get to know people a little and build a reputation, then try to sell them something. People are smarter then you think when it comes to things online. They have learned not to trust everything.

I have been working with widgetbucks for a few months now. At first I was not very impressed, but at the same time I was not doing well with some of my other ppc advertising so I didn’t worry too much about it. Now I have found a great secret to using them. Those of you who stuck with them know about this already, but if your new to them or you joined and then gave up you should check this out and check them out again.

The new ad widgets they have now show a short advertisement before the products are shown. This advertisements pays per view so you can make money as long as you have visitors. They still don’t support some country’s visitors but if you have primarily an American, European or Australian base for your site you could make some cash using this. Other countries are included but again some are not.

I like this type of advertising because you can see the product being advertised. You don’t have to guess what it is and most of the time that will make people click on the ad even more. I know I do. I even have to keep myself from clicking on my own when I see something I’m interested in. That part sucks, but I don’t want to get into trouble.

I have been very lazy when it comes to making money this week. I just am burned out from everything including my school work. I’m hoping to step it up a little next week, but who knows. I am also thinking a really need to find work. I started looking yesterday and today and nothing. So I’m back to the computer trying to find more ways to make some extra cash.

The social Spark banner is doing well. This is the only blog I have it on right now and it runs out in a few days. So far only one comment on it and it was good so I think I will try to get another sponsorship soon. My work with Pay Per Post has been okay, but it’s been a slow month. I’m hoping that things pick up soon.

As for other things I am doing very well with Swat Cash this month their new world map game has helped me to reach the $100 bonus early and I bought a few other things to help me out on the map as well. If you haven’t signed up I suggest you do.

So that is my update, if you do have an opinion or questions on any of the advertising I use, please let me know.

As you can see I have a new way to advertise on this site. The advert will only run for a week so that I can get a feel for it and you can let me know what you think. I don’t mind the sponsored by part that pops up, but I know some do. They are talking about having just the bar available so I may do that. I do want to know what you think of it and if you hate the whole thing or just part of it. The advertisers will change from time to time and you should only see the pop up once per advertiser.

This is a trial thing so if people really hate it I may not use it. I think it would also fit well on my interior design blog if an appropriate advertiser is available. Anyway let me know what you think with a comment.

I have noticed that my project wonderful ad’s are not selling like they were. I think it’s because I have seen a huge decrease in traffic over the last 2 weeks. I have been busy and unable to spend the time needed to get that traffic.

I’m still not going to give up on them. I think they are a great addition to the advertising scene, I’m just wondering if there is some hot new thing out there I’m missing. Tomorrow my search for it starts when I find it I will let you know.

I’ve decided to add my top spots to 3 of my blogs. I’m going to add it to this one tomorrow. I’m going to be useing the money earned from them to help my mother who is now extreamly sick pay her bills. The price to be on this blog is only going to be $1, my personal blog everything and anything is also $1 and my diabetes blog is $3 that money is being split between my medical bills and my moms, thats why it’s more. The 2 other blogs allready have the top spot up and ready to go so if your interested in helping me out check out those sites.

I have some information on my personal blog about what is going on if you are wondering. I really don’t want to get into it again so please check out that blog for more info.
