But “blogs” themselves aren’t a “strategy”. They’re just a tool. And just like a hammer wouldn’t be an effective tool if you swung it at your finger instead of the nail, a blog isn’t an effective tool unless you use it as part of a solid marketing strategy.

A guy I usually listen to when it comes to using blogs for making money online is Andrew Hansen. Andrew’s claim to fame is his strategy for combining blogs with affiliate marketing, and various free traffic generation methods, to create passive income revenue streams that can remain profitable for a long time.

Part of this strategy is to use blogs NOT as an every day blogger who’s focused on pulitzer prize winning content, generating of mouth and creating link bait… but instead to use blogs as a simple content management system that can assist in getting fast search rankings for highly profitable keywords in order to generate high conversion rates on affiliate offers.

As Andrew says, blogs are perfect for this purpose because they are easy for anyone to set up, don’t require any coding knowledge, but come with features that most regular websites don’t have that can be leveraged for extreme advantages in the search engines, like RSS Feeds, pinging and others.

Interestingly he also points out how blogs while traditionally aren’t known for their ability to create high clickthrough or conversion rates on “offers” (including presells or direct sales offers) can in fact be tweaked to leverage some of the MOST powerful conversion boosters and can thus become high conversion selling machines.

Andrew’s just about to release a new “Institute” to teach people more about these strategies for profiting through “niche blogging” and he’s put out some really interesting FREE videos that you can check out to learn some quality actionable steps to making money from your blogs, or STARTING to make some blogs that will generate passive income for you too.

While we await the launch of Niche Blogging Institute, make sure you click here to check out the FREE golden profit tips from Andrew himself.

Andrew Hansen is the man behind the most coveted blog posting software Firepow. He was the one who created, marketed and introduced us what seems to be impossible years ago. He made our blog dreams come true. No wonder, Andrew is one of the most successful online entrepreneurs to date.

Firepow is Andrew’s brainchild on his early twenties. Before he became successful as he is now, he was once a struggling blogger like anyone of us. He started generating mini incomes with the use of Adsense. But in the long run it fell apart. Nonetheless, he was not dismayed and started thinking something bigger than the usual Adsense. Andrew then ventured to affiliate marketing. He started small by making a one page site for a specific product. This opened a successful opportunity to his marketing credential. Though the traffic might be small as little as 5 unique visitors a day, nevertheless it generated him $300 a month with that site alone.  

After emerging successful with affiliate marketing, Andrew decided to impart his knowledge and marketing strategies to others. With that said, he published different reports. For instance “Article Speed Writing” which provides information on how to build sites quickly. The other one was “Niche Marketing On Crack” that showcased the different systems and procedures Andrew had implemented that were proven successful on his end.

Recently Andrew ventured out on a new business arena which was the release of the all in one blogging system named Firepow. The first version was released on July 2008. The said system was developed for nearly 12 months with 14 people workingon it in six different countries. Days from now, the second version of Firepow would emerge on June 9, 2009.

Andrew Hansen is an exemplification of an individual who made it big in the Internet marketing arena with his simple yet successful methodologies. And now, he is giving that us that same opportunity to be like him in a way or another. With that said, no wonder why Firepow is a big hit in the market since the maker itself is no less than successful. Read more here.

Link Market. Link Market.net When I first started my blog, I read a lot of posts and articles that discussed how important creating back links to your site is. I naturally searched for link swapping sites and came across Link Market. I had to learn the inner workings of this site via trial and error, and here is where I will provide my experience to you.

First of all, you should know that there are 2 options with this site. Option 1 is a free membership, however you can only receive link requests from people, and can not initiate requests of your own. The problem with that is you may receive a lot of links from people that are not relevant to the theme of your blog or site. The down side to that is that people that surf their site may not be interested in visiting your site. Although, this may be the case anyway as some of the sites that send you requests have link pages which are remote or hard to find. In that instance, you will not attract additional traffic from these links.

In option 2 with Link Market, you pay $25 for a 6 month membership with their site. Some of the benefits of the membership are that you can send link requests, sort pages by Google Page Rank and get free customer support. Obviously if you are making the link requests you can target sites that have content which is more relavant for your sites theme. You can also target sites with a higher page rank, which in turn will help your page rank. To me, this option isn’t worth it at this time, because I am not really generating that much income from my site, but could be a decent option down the road.

Manual Blog Swapping. This is one of the best ways to get relavant back links to your site, and also one of the most time consuming. The concept is pretty easy, simply do a Web Search for blogs along the same theme as yours and pay them a visit. However if you simply visit them and send them an email right off the bat, you may not see a high percentage of successful responses. You need to dedicate a little bit of time to reading the blog, maybe posting some comments to the articles on their sites, and actually building a relationship with the fellow blog writers. You will see higher percentages of link requests that way.

While you are at their site, some of the blogs allow HTML links when you post a comment, so write them a comment and post your URL in there. Just make sure it is something more than "Good Post". You can also link to them first and send them an email with a link to your link page showing them. And hey, if you happen to see an ad link on their site that you find interesting, I am sure they will appreciate it if you visit that link from their site.

Page Rank Checking Tool PRCheckingTool.com. I am not going to cover the entire scope of Page Rank and what it means in this post, however I will provide you with this helpful tool to check Page Rank of sites requesting a link to you if you use a service like Link Market. With the PR Checking Tool, you enter the URL of the site you want to check, enter the spam checking code and click the submit link. The tool will provide you with the rank of the site from either 1, 5 or 30 different data centers. A site with a Rank of 0 is the lowest, while one with a rank of 9 is among the highest. Obviously, you want more relevant links from sites with a high page rank.

I hope you found this information helpful. Please feel free to surf through some of the other articles on my site, or post a comment below.
