Makin The Money

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.

I wrote the other day about not being able to get traffic to many of my blogs. Today on my design blog I have gotten over 700 visitors because of one post about self watering pots. Apparently I just need to find more interesting and new things to talk about!

The best part about all of this unplanned traffic is that I have used widgetbucks ad’s on that site, but Saturday I switched to a large banner where I get paid per visitor. So I should be seeing a large increase in my commissions within the next few days. I love their new widget. I have made much more now then I did before.

Oh and did I mention that post also got over 400 visits yesterday.

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.

I decided this month to up my advertising on Entrecard. I have started dropping more cards and buying more advertisements, but I have not noticed a huge increase in traffic. I have been doing this on many of my blogs and I have not gotten anything from it.

I think most people now have a favorites list they go to and thats it, or they only drop on cards in their category or something. Everyone has a right to do as they please but I’m finding I’m not very happy with the lack of traffic from them. Of course I will still use them as one or two visitors is better then none.

Now that social spark is live you should check it out. I am really happy I got in on this because it is a big thing that will really help average people make some extra money. The best part is that you don’t even have to write post for them if you don’t’ want to. You can just use their sponsorship and make some money that way. I have used one on this blog and I have another one set to start on here soon. The other thing I like about social spark is that they are search engine friendly. All links are no follow and you are required to show that the post is sponsored by using a badge, like the one at the bottom of this post. I also like it because I can give my honest opinion of a product or service without worrying about meeting a preset tone.

SocialSpark is different from other pay you to blog services. One it’s a social site so you can get on and talk to people and figure out who actually writes the blogs you read. I couldn’t believe how many blogs I have looked at but had no clue that the person wrote another blog I read sometimes. It’s nice to know that way you feel like you know the person better and can enjoy their blog that much more.

For any blogger looking to make some money from home Social spark is a great way to do it. Not only does it bring more traffic to your blog by getting you out there in the network, but you meet some great people and make good friends in the process.

I promised all of you that I would try to find more SEO information so that both you and I can learn something, well I have found a great forum for you to check out. They have great information from new and seasioned internet users and I have found a few helpful tips I’m going to try.

The best part about them is that you can have your site reviewed by members. I haven’t posted mine yet, but I may eventually. Keep in mind this is a new forum so there is not a whole lot of information, but I found the forum though a great site so they may soon get a ton of people on there talking.

A few minutes ago I was reading the Bloggers Guide to SEO on blog about your blog. I love reading things from them as they are always interesting and helpful. This blog in particular is great as they helped with the grand opening of my Forum for Bloggers. The SEO information is basic, but easy to use so I wanted to share the link with you.

As I have said before I don’t know much about SEO, but when I find a post I think will help my readers I will let you know about it. This post is one of those post and I have to say there are a few things I have learned from it. It’s short simple and sweet, enjoy! One tip they have is to use the wordpress SEO plug in. I have this on all of my blogs but I have not used it on all of them. I will be changing this soon.

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.
