List of mistakes to avoid when choosing your blog niche

2009-11-21T00:51:00.001-08:00

If you are blogging for fun, then you can think of blogging about anything you want. But if you are serious about making money with your blog, them you should choose your blog niche very carefully. When we chose a wrong niche for our blog, that will lead to a unsuccessful blog. Here is the list of mistakes we generally make when choosing a niche for our blog:

1. Highly competitive niche: Some of highest competitive niches are credit cards, loans, insurance, mortgage, internet marketing, blogging, seo, make money, weight loss, health, computers, mobile phones, cameras etc. If you are thinking of blogging about and making money in highly competitive niches like some of niches I mentioned above, you have to remain ready for lots of competition and may have to wait for years for any big results to come in your favor. No doubt, there is lots of money you can make in these niches, but getting on top in these niches is also very difficult. So the key to success with blogging will be choosing a niche with lower amount of competition.
2. Choosing a niche you don’t understand: there are some people who choose to blog about a niche they don’t understand and are not knowledgeable about that niche. No doubt, we can learn about every niche when we spend some time on it. But whenyou are choosing the niche for your first blog, you should go for a niche you are most knowledgeable and passionate about. When you to chose a niche of your interest, that will help in creating and promoting your website in search engines.
3. Blogging about personal matters: there are some people who start blog with their names or surnames and discuss their personal matters on that blog most of the time. If you are serious about making money with your blog, I would suggest you to choose a topic on which you remain focused on most of the time on your blog like software reviews, digital cameras, Google products, Social media, blogging, seo, affiliate marketing, money making, weight loss etc.
4. Covering lots of niches on the same blog: no doubt you can be knowledgeable about many niches, but don’t cover too many niches in the same blog. Stay focused on a single niche only on a blog. When we try to cover too many niches, you face the problem of how to monetize this blog because we have readers of different interests. And when we blog about a particular niche like money making only on my blog, most of readers on my blog will be interested in money making matters and thus I can monetize my blog more easily.
5. Copying what others are doing: there are some people even who decide their blog niche just because of someone else is able to make some money in that niche without thinking about their interest or knowledge about that niche. You cannot b successful with a blog ifyou are not passionate about the niche you chosen for your blog.

Have you ever thought about making money online selling ebooks? Yes, surely we can make money online selling other people ebook even if you don’t have time or skills to create an ebook of your own. This is all possible with affiliate marketing.

Working as an affiliate, we add links or banners for ebooks related to our blog niche and earn some fixed amount of money as a commission for each sale generated through our affiliate link. So start looking for some websites that sells ebooks and are accepting affiliates in your blog niche where you are able to make some amount of money for each sale generated by you. One of affiliate websites you can try for this purpose is Clickbank.

Simply go to Clickbank marketplace and make search with some of top keywords related to your niche.

So if you are able to sell an ebook with a price tag of $100, we will be able to earn from $50 to $75 for selling this ebook which is not a small amount. So we can think of making $500 to $750 every month for selling 10 ebooks of this range.

So now start promoting these ebooks by adding banners and links for these ebooks on your blogs and websites header, footer, sidebar or within posts if you already have a popular blog. You can even think of writing some promotional articles around these ebooks on blogs created around these products.

How Google actually make money online

2009-11-21T00:50:00.001-08:00

Most frequently asked question by most internet users is How Google is actually able to make money online. In today’s post, I will try to answer this question:

Google has given lots of valuable products to all internet users. Some of popular products are Google Search Engine, Google image search, Google Blog Search, Google News, Google Adwords, Google Adsense, Google Earth, YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail, Blogger.com Orkut, and Google Analytics.

1. Sponsored Results: are the results that appear in right sidebar under ‘Sponsored Links’ with regular results when we do some search on Google. Websites that are shown in Sponsored results have some kind of agreement where Google shows their website for specific keywords and charge them for this service. So when we make search for buy canon digital camera, we see websites selling canon digital camera in the Sponsored links section in right sidebar. Google earn some money when someone clicks on any of these sponsored links. But how much money, this is a big question?I’m just giving you an approximate idea, this is determined by bidding. Websites willing to high amount of money for a click shows up in the sponsored results. Google Adwords allows all potential advertisers to create their ads copy, specify keywords and point their landing pages in their ad copy for which their ads will be shown and is actually clicked by Google search users
2. Google Adsense: is an advertising program started by Google where everyone makes money. Website owners and bloggers sign up to Adsense to earn some revenue from their websites and blogs. Advertisers are also happy to pay some money for every click on their ads on websites and blogs as this helps them build their business and thus helps them make more money with their products and services. Website owners are bloggers are paid some amount of money for every click on any of Adsense on their pages. Google keeps big share of revenue that he receives from Advertisers for placing their ads on websites and blogs and pay very little to the publishers. Google Adsense ads are highly relevant to the content of a website page. If you have a page about eBay shopping, you will see results targeted about eBay shopping by Google Adsense Team. Some of other Google products that are helping it to make money online are:
3. Google Images Search: Google shows sponsored results under ‘Sponsored links’ above the regular results in header section when we search some image on Google images
4. Gmail.com: we are shown some sponsored links in our Gmail account which are highly relevant to the content of our email body and subject.
5. Orkut: Google shows text and banner ads in our Orkut accounts in India at least

Top 10 blog directories worth submitting in

2009-11-21T00:48:00.000-08:00

To earn revenue and for bringing targeted traffic to our blog, we need lots of link building with quality content. And submitting our blogs on major blog directories is the first or basic step in this direction. Today, there are thousands of blog directories available where we can submit our blogs and many more directories are created everyday.

So submitting our blog to hundreds or thousands of such directories will be really time consuming and tedious task. So the idea is submitting our blog on just top blog directories may be on top 5 or 10 or even on top 20. So here is the list of my top 10 popular blog directories where you can submit your blog:

1. Best of the Web blog directory - was originally started in 1994 by Brandon Plewe when he was a student at the State University of New York. And he recently launched the ‘Best of the web blog directory’. This directory is very selective about the acceptance of blogs and accepts blogs that are really valuable and are in existence for quite some time. So a link from thisblog directory can do lots of wonder for you. So it is worth submitting your blog in this directory. Before submitting your blog here in this directory, you must be satisfying their ‘Terms & Conditions’ and especially check this term:

The blog I am suggesting is in an active blog, with six months or more of postings, is in the English language, contains substantively unique content, and does not already appear in the BOTW Blog Directory.

2. EatonWeb the Blog Directory - They are claiming this directory being the oldest blog directory on the internet with Page Rank 7 registered in 1997. Once our blog is accepted here in this oldest blog directory on the web, our blog authority in its niche will automatically increase. Each blog that is accepted on EatonWeb gets three rankings: Strength, momentum and overall.
3. Blog Catalog Directory - is one of oldest social blog directory where we can share and view blogs of our choice. We have to register to submit one or more of our blogs here. This blog directory has wide range of categories and is offering search ability by country, language or even by user.
4. Blog Flux Directory - is a great blog directory with wide range of categories shown in alphabetic order. With this, blog Flux is offering many useful tools for the bloggers like page rank checker, Mapstats, Pinger, polls, quizzes, themes and community to join. We have to register to submit our blog in this great directory.
5. Blogarama - Need to create an account to submit our blog here on Blogarama with 80413 blogs listed already. They are offering free as well as paid listing (For $10)
6. Blogoozle - They are accepting free as well as paid blog submission. Blogs under free review must have page rank 1 at least and for paid review, blog owners have to pay $7. Some of important guidelines from Blogoozle that blogger should go though before submitting their blogs here in seo friendlyblog directory:

Do not include pricing details, special offers, the url of the blog or your email. Do not use promotional language in your description, let the other people decide if you have the best, the biggest, the greatest blog on the planet. All promotional language will be removed and/or causeyour blog to be deleted.

Withdraw Funds from PayPal to Indian Banks

2009-11-21T00:47:00.002-08:00

PayPal allows you to withdraw money directly into your Indian bank account for free if you are withdrawing more than Rs.7,000. If it is less, it charges Rs. 50 as fee. This is the better way than requesting cheque because it takes few weeks to deliver, a month for realization, and more over PayPal charges $5 fee and yourbank charges approximately Rs.150 to Rs. 250 for clearing international cheque.

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR PAYPAL

Log into PayPal and click the link “Withdraw” Then, select the option “Withdraw funds to your bank account” and click “Add Bank Account” It will ask First name, Last name, Bank Name, IFSC code, and Account Number. The thing in question here is IFSC code.

IFSC is Indian Financial System Code assigned by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for every bank branch for easiness in transferring funds and communication. If you have an ICICI account, you can see the IFSC code printed on the cheque book itself. Get the list of participating banks and its branch codes in an xls sheet by clicking here. This is the link to the main listing page where you can find the updated list in case if it is updated by RBI and you are not able to get the XLS sheet. IFSC code is an 11-digit character and numeric code and looks like FDRL0001464, which is an IFSC code for Federal Bak, Infopark branch, Kochi in Kerala. 1464 is the branch code and FDRL is thebank code. Enter the appropriate IFSC code for your branch followed by your account number. You can also confirm it with your bank branch. After that you can select the amount to withdraw into your bank account, which readily converted into Indian rupees and showed to proceed with withdrawal.

Once you are done, you will get the money directly into your bank account in three to seven business days.

Blogging: Easy way to make money online

2009-11-21T00:43:00.000-08:00

Blogging can be a great resource when you are thinking of making money on the internet. I know hundreds of bloggers who are able to make good amount of money using blogs. There are some bloggers who are making their living out of blogging. When it comes about making money from blogging, you are not going to invest even a single dollar in your online business. So in case you are willing to earn some money online, keep on reading….

On the internet, there are many websites where you can create blogs for free like blogger.com, wordpress.com, blog.com, myspace.com, weebly.com, vox.com. But most popular blogging sites are Blogger.com and Wordpress.com, where people really love to blog about the things they are most passionate about. Both of these blogging platforms have great facilities and one can start making some money from their blogs instantly by using the affiliates programs of their niche.

Before setting up a blog on any of blogging service, you will need to decide the niche and the keywords you will be targeting in your future blog. There are many areas one can blog about like ‘Some Financial issues’, ‘general Health issue’, ‘Travel related’, ‘About Celebrities’, ‘Products Reviews’, ‘About money making ideas’ etc. But the best idea for blogging will be to blogs about the things you are most passionate about. To blog about a particular topic or niche, you don’t need to be an expert of that. But you must have the passion for that and will need to keep on adding relevant post to your blog about that topic.

So once you have decided the topic for your blog, you should start adding relevant posts on your blog. You can begin with writing small general articles or reviews about the topic of your choice.

There are plenty of ways you can earn money from blogging if you are able to drive some traffic to your blog:

Google adsense

According to me, Google adsense is the easiest way to earn some profit from your blog. Google Adsense is a pay per click program where the bloggers are paid for every click that are made on the Google adsense ads placed on their blogs. You must have seen “Ads by Google” on many blogs in their sidebar, footer, within post or even in their header. To use Google Adsense, one need to apply for it with a blog and once approved by Google adsense Team, can use the Adsense ads on his/her blog. Google adsense offers contextual, image based and search based ads that blogger can place on their blogs. Adsense ads are highly customizable and are available in many formats like 160*600, 250*250, 200*200 etc. Bidvertiser is also a pay per click program like Google adsense.

Affiliate programs

There are thousands of affiliate programs available on the internet that bloggers can use on their blogs. In case of affiliate marketing, you are paid for each sale that you generate through your blog and not just paid for every click. To earn profit from affiliate programs, one can make post targeting some specific affiliates and even can add the banners and links for affiliates in their sidebar, header or footer. But to get maximum success with affiliates, one should aim at the products and services that are some way related to their blogs. If you have a weight loss blog, go for weight loss specific affiliate programs. Some of best affiliate programs include Amazon.com, Commission Junction, ClickBank, LinkShare, Google adsense products.

Text Link Ads

Bloggers can make some handsome amount of dollars every month from their blogs by adding text link ads on their blogs. There are many websites that pay to bloggers for placing text link ads on their blogs like textlinksads.com/, linkadage.com, textlinkbrokers.com etc

Selling Advertising

Selling the space to advertisers on your blog is the best and consistent revenue stream a blogger can dream of creating on his blog. If you have a blog that is very popular in a particular niche, you have great chance of selling some advertising space on your blog. You can charge hundreds of dollars for placing a small banner for a client in your blog sidebar. And you have more space available in your sidebar that you can use to sell more space to advertisers on your blog. But to get this kind of advertisers for your blog, your blog must be very popular and should have stable reader base.

Using paid blogging

There are many websites on the internet like payperpost.com, reviewme.com that pay to bloggers for writing reviews for their affiliate products and websites.

So it’s not really difficult to make money from blogs. One can earn high amount of money from the list of resources suggested in this post with their blogging skills.

Money Making Ways that You Should Avoid

2009-11-21T00:42:00.000-08:00

There are many genuine online money making methods that pays you a decent amount of money. But most people are trying to make money from silly methods like reading emails. These type of works are to be avoided since you can’t make any money from them at the end. Below are the methods that should be avoided.

Reading e-mails is one of the most popular ways people try to make money online. If you are new to making money online this seems the easiest way to make some money and web sites that provide these services provide a sign up bonus of 10$ or some incentive like that to entice you. Don’t fall into this trap , an e-mail pays you like 0.02$ per mail and you need to read lots of mails to reach that magical 25$ mark.

Getting paid to click ads is another popular method used by most people. From my experience most paid to click websites are scams and you are wasting your time clicking on ads. Even if they pay, you need lots of active referrals to make a decent amount of money from these sites.

Signing up for survey sites is another method that looks like a easy way to earn an income. Problem is most of these surveys are targeted for US and Canadian citizens so chances of you getting a survey is very slim.

Signing up for Data Entry companies is another method used by many people. All of these companies are accepting money from you. Data entry is a legitimate business where you can earn real money, but the problem is there are lots of people who scam internet users promising insane amounts through data entry.

Moneybookers – Paypal Alternative

2009-11-21T00:40:00.001-08:00

Moneybookers is one of the largest online payments systems and is a paypal alternative. Like paypal you can send and receive money online easily and securely without giving out giving out your financial information like bank account or credit card details. Moneybookers was founded in 2001 in London and is regulated by the Financial Services Authority of the United Kingdom. Moneybookers has over six million account holders.

You can fund your moneybookers account by using bank wire transfer or credit card. You must verify your credit card first before you can fund your account using credit card.

Paypal Expained

2009-11-21T00:39:00.004-08:00

For most people a paypal personal account will be sufficient. You can send and receive money free using a personal account. The disadvantage of personal account is that there is a monthly receiving limit of $500 and you can’t receive a credit card funded transaction. There is a fee for receiving funds in a premier and business account. You can upgrade your personal account to personal pro account at any time. There is no limit for receiving funds in a premier and business account and you can also receive credit card funded transactions.

A newly created paypal account will have a lower transaction limit to prevent fraud. To increase the limit you have to verify your account using a credit card. If you don’t have credit card you can verify your account using netsafe card. You can fund yourpaypal account by using a US bank account or credit card. You have to verify your credit card before you can use it for sending money. Please note that you can’t use netsafe card for fundingpaypal account.

You can withdraw money from paypal account by cheque, or to your credit card or bank account. For Indians you can withdraw money to your bank account in India. There is a fee of just Rs 50 for amounts up to Rs 7000 and is free for over 7000.

AlertPay – Another Paypal Alternative

2009-11-21T00:39:00.002-08:00

Alertpay is a new paypal alternative and is offered in countries where paypal is not available. AlertPay is a privately owned and managed company founded in 2004 with its office headquarters in Montreal, Canada. Because it is new there are not many sites that accept alertpay. Alertpay offers three three types of accounts. Personal starter, Personal pro and Business account.

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP ALERTPAY

The personal starter account is the recommended account for a beginner. You can send and receive money for free. The disadvantage of personal starter account is that it has a monthly receiving limit of $400 and cumulative yearly receiving limit of $2000. Also you can’t use credit card funded payments. You can upgrade your personal starter account to a personal pro account to remove these limitations. There is a receiving fee of 2.5% + $0.25 per transaction in a personal pro and business account. You can fund your account by using credit card.

You can withdraw money from alertpay by cheque, bank transfer and wire transfer. The bank transfer withdrawal fee is just $0.5. Indians can withdraw by cheque and wire transfer. For withdrawal by cheque there is a fee of $3 and wire transfer withdrawal fee is $15. I have used alertpay and I have withdrawn money by cheque.
