Makin The Money

If you are looking into paid blogging I suggest that you do not use Buy Blog Reviews, At first they were fine, I got paid granted not in the time frame they said I would, but it was only 2 weeks later so i was not that upset, Now it is almost 2 months later and I still do not have a payment owed from them. I have emailed and still nothing. I have decided that I will not be doing work for them again and probably will never see the $40 owed to me. I have tried contacting them, but I have not received a reply yet.

My advice if your looking for places to blog would be to join a blogging company that has been around for a while. Do research on them and make sure they have paid for a while. You can of course join newer companies, just don’t expect to ever see your money when you start, if you get it, great if you don’t then do what I’m doing and let others know.

I have not had one visitor looking for the pictures I have posted. So my opinion now is that this only works if you are already high up in search rankings. I won’t be subjecting you to celebrity pictures anymore.

I have noticed that this blog is getting noticed more for other things and I’m happy to see that. It seems that work I did a few months ago is paying off now. Sometimes you just have to remember to wait and see what happens. Not everything works as soon as you put it out there. Today I was on a forum talking about blogging and money. It seems that people still think it’s easy and doesn’t take much time. What do you think?

My new get paid to post forum is now officially open and today is the grand opening. So if your looking for a new place to get some back links. (links are allowed in signatures) Get the word out about your site, make money and meet new people then check it out.

I’m really very excited about this as I love the community that other forums I have been on have had. Unfortunatly they have not lasted long so I have created mine with the hope of getting it going and getting people active. Its a great site with lots of things to talk about.

Today I’m getting some cash. Unfortunately most of it will go to a Laptop and getting my car fixed, but some of it I will invest in my blog. I would love to put it toward this blog, but unfortunately this is a very expensive niche and since this is not where I make my money I’ll keep this blog as mostly a word of mouth and free advertising thing.

Most people don’t realize this part of the whole make money blogging thing, you actually have to get traffic to your site and get people to stay in order to make money. Yes you can do paid posting or ppc ads and make some cash, but trust me the big bloggers spend money advertising. They look at the big picture and not the small one.

I have decided to spend most of my advertising money on my home decorating tips blog as I think this one has the best potental to be a big deal. It’s also a hard niche to get into but it’s not something where your going to get the exact same information over and over.  So again I’m going to let all of you know how this works for me. I figure you at least can learn from my mistakes right?

I have decided that I’m going to try something that other Make Money Bloggers have done. I’m going to put a few pictures of celebriatyes up and see if my traffic increases. Yes thats what those pictures are on these blogs for, not just for you men to stare at. My first one is Of Angelina Jolie, because I like her, she’s an awesome actress and if I was a guy I would want to sleep with her so she’s first. For the women who read this blog. I will be adding a guy very soon I promise.

The reasion I want to try this is simple, does it really work. Right now I am not doing any advertising for this blog besides entrecard.  I will let you all know if it works at the end of the month.

So many people talk about page rank. You would think it actually meant something, yes that’s right it doesn’t mean anything. Yes some advertisers use it, but the big names that you want on your website or blog do not care about page rank. What they do care about is how many people actually read your blog or website and click on the links you have. That is what gets them sales, that is what makes them money.

If you have a wordpress blog you need to install the all in one SEO pack. This thing is a lifesaver and makes SEO very easy. You still have to get links and everything for yourself, but if you stop looking at page rank it will be very easy to do. Also if you find out how much competition you have for keywords it will allow you to chose keywords that are not as competitive. Example. My Interior design Blog where I have home decor tips is ranked in the top 100 in both yahoo and Google. Not bad considering it was once in the top 15 in yahoo without me doing any SEO. What I have done though is found that not many people search for interior design tips, but they do search for home decor tips. So I have changed my keywords to fit that topic.

I have been doing this for about 3 weeks. During the last two weeks I have been asked by 3 companies to do reviews for them. This is what brings you traffic and can get you clicks on not only the compines links that asked for the review, but maybe even those affiliate links you have hidden on your site.

That was something that I just read from someone trying to make money online. This person has been working hard and was told it was easy and anyone can do it. Well I’m telling you it’s not and not everyone can do it. It takes time hard work and some investment.

Now if your just looking for $50 a month spending money that’s different, but if you really want to make an income you may be able to live off of, now that’s a whole other story. First you have to invest in a domain name, even when doing paid blogging they want you to have your own domain, your own domain means hosting. More money there and once you get the website or blog up and running, well then you have to get people to it which means more money on traffic.

If you go with affiliate marketing, eventually after sometime you will figure out what works for you and what does not. Not everyone is cut out to make money online. Many people can if they learn time is key and you will not become rich over night. Start out small with one or two affiliate programs. When I say this I don’t mean sign up for 2 major programs that have 20 thousand different companies and apply to all of them. I mean apply to the program and only apply to one or two companies, that way you can get your feet wet and get use to affiliate marketing. If you decided to go that route.

Don’t forget I have been where many of you starting out have, check back on my old post and take a look at the links and programs on my sidebar, they are there to help you. I already belong to them and they have worked well for me.
