Make Money Online

For my first Feed subscriber...and others...

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 08:48:00 +0000

So, thinks rolled smooth, I got my first feed subscriber from somewhere, I hope it's not a bot LOL, so if you are real do comment this post please, and Thank you very much,

I also lost 4 Twitter Followers but hey...that's Life, so I though of a quick update post on what's on my mind, I wish I had the time to do all I want today but I have to go to Évora today, I have a group paper to do on Work Methodology to deliver first week of January, I need to get that done quick.

About on what's on my mind, during the following days this is what's going to happen,

- The blog design: This is something that's really bothering me, I need to work on it and make something more like problogger.net, some kind of template that I can use to all my blogs, something slick that looks good and easy to costume, I really wish I was using wordpress, honestly, blogger sucks!!! IT JUST SUCKS, that HTML template editor area it's soooo bad! Takes me so much time to edit simple things, but what the hell I like challenges.

- Twitter landing page: I read a post at problogger on the effects of a custom Twitter Landing page for one's blog. That does sound a good idea, I'm interested to see what can I gain from a Twitter audience, although I need to generate more target traffic from several forums, trough my signature on those forums and trough contributions and reviews critics on those forums, I currently do not have time for that right now, I need to sort out my priorities, I do have a lot of ideas and that bothers me, I need to write down a business plan, sort it out, or I'll get lost and get nothing done. I do think this is the worth enemy of new starting entrepreneurs.

- Adsense: I made 1,40$ This month on Adsense on some very bad (LOL) blogs on sport nutrition that I run, anyway I never put the time on them, they just have 3 to 4 posts each so I guess it's not that bad.

- Affiliation: I got some ideas on what to start to promote, Hostgator, more on this latter, I'm already developing a business plan for this, let's see if I do can resell some Hostgator accounts, I hope so.

- More on Adsense and Seo: I'm reading some stuff on High Paying keywords, so I just registered a blog on a high paying keyword called: How to register a domain name (see the connection with the hostgator affiliation ? Good call hun ? ;) ) The competition is very hard ! But I'm sure I can beat it out, I also got my latest hands on IBP, a tool for SEO (more on IBP later too)

I'll be targeting HIGH ADSENSE KEYWORDS ON HOSTING AND DOMAIN NAMES,

here's the list I found:

register a domain name $34.51
Domain registrations $31.39
Servers dedicated $29.47
How to register a domain name $26.84
Domain names $26.00

Domain name registration search $15.37
UK dedicated hosting server $15.36
Unix dedicated server $15.17
Cheap domain register $15.03
Dedicated SQL server $15.03

I think that building a blog with Adsense in mind is not a good move, from what I studied it works best the other way around (a.k.a Build something good on anything and then, and only then, put adsense on it)

Well, that's about it for now, once I get that template issue solved (Tomorrow I hope) I'll be on top of everything else on this list and doing solid pillar posts about these matters, for now this is my startup strategy,

Thank you all, comments are appreciated, cheers and happy Christmas !

Top.Org Site Tracking

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 05:24:00 +0000

So i was looking for evostats.com, but unfortunatly they shutdown, evostats was a cool, simple, neat and original site tracking free service, I used to use it a long time ago, fortunatly the same guys now run Top.Org , another site trackign free service, so I figure out I would give it a try.

TOP.ORG tracks the number of unique visitors and pageviews a site generates every day. It ranks sites based on the number of unique visitors it gets in a one week period. Every Sunday it resets back to zero and the rankings restart anew.

They keep historical data on the number of unique visitors and pageviews each site generates and aggregate this information for any visitor to see. They also track the number of clicks TOP.ORG generates to every site.

Try it out, it's very simple and neat ;) , I'm on It!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 22:14:00 +0000

This is day 2 of my blog... moving on to Feedburner Implementation.

Setting it up!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 18:55:00 +0000

Putting things in motion, first, since I'm not American but Portuguese and my main language is "Portuguese" not English, before I post anything I'll do a spell check on it, not having spelling errors is something that makes a difference, it shows that I'm concerned with my audience, and I do want to achieve some degree of professionalism, not formality, I want to keep things simple and informal, just like if we where chatting in a bar.

Spell checking

So I found this online spell checker that I'm going to use: Free Online Spell Checker
(Here goes a free one way link for the owner lol)

The Template

Next, since I must optimize my time to the best effort possible (Remember the MOTTO - TIME IS MONEY ) I searched for a blogger theme, and I found this one that I'm using that I do think it's cool, so if you want one like this you can get it at: http://www.eblogtemplates.com this template comes in 3 colors and is called PassionDuo, for now I think it's enough.

Blogger or Wordpress

Why blogger ? Simple, Google Owns Blogger and I'll be aiming for Google to be my main traffic generator, so...well...Blogger It is. Although I'm pretty much sure Wordpress is a much better blogging platform.

The name of the blog

I did a simple research on Google Keywords tool and this was the best I could came with, it has a cool set of keywords with reasonably "low competition" in the are, plus I can optimize for keyword groups like make money online, or make money, fast money, easy money, easy money online fast, etc... You get the idea right ? So it seamed to me a good choice.

Next

I'm going to set up an account on twitter, some forums and feedburner which is a very good feedpublisher, industry standard really!

And then there was the beginning...

Hi all, my name is John Mustra, I'm 22 and I'm an average university Joe. I've been working with the bits and bytes of the digital word for some time now.

I've worked on design companies, e-commerce websites, computer assisted graphics, digital paintings, programming online and offline platforms..You know the drill, I "was" a true computer geek.

But something changed... I'm know studying economics and still pulling off jobs mainly on e-commerce and a bit of outsourcing, basically, I've been seeing, waiting and helping others make a buck online....while I'm in debt to pay my university tuition fees.

So this is why I decided to start a project, I have some reasonable amount of knowledge about how to make an Internet business of anyways to work and be profitable, so I'll start from ZERO, step by step, and I'll record it all trough this blog, videos, podcasts and other sources of what I call "social information".

What's in it for you ?...

It's simple, I'm going to research, study, and put to use anything that can make me money online, I'll take out of the way the one's that don't and save the one's that do, I'll record my earnings and I'll keep them update it here.

You can learn lot's on tecnhics for money making online, for generating traffic, to monetize your blog, to make money trough adsense, affiliation programs, etc..

The goal here is to start from 0 and end up developing my own programs and guides for money making, maybe even turning this blog in to a book or an e-book if it turns ou successful,

All that I wish for is that you follow me on this journey, even mimic me if you want, discuss ideas with me, joint venture me, etc... Basically, interact with me, join in the train and I might just no end up being the only one making money online, cause I'm sure I'm going pull this off, and will be here to see it.

Will start from the 0, putting together a business plan, but first I'll copy and paste this introductory text of mine in several forums and provide the blog with ways for you to follow me, so give me some feedback and check out the blog...

If you understand the potential of this, if you share my vision, don't esitate, join me on twitter or subscribe my feeds or future newsletter,
