The Right Blogging Platform For Your Needs

2011-05-08T13:50:00.000-07:00

Choosing which blogging platform to use is one of the
most important decisions that you can make as a
blogger. The right platform can make blogging a
breeze - and the wrong platform can make blogging a
chore. Because the program that you use to blog with is
such a powerful part of your blogging experience - it is
well worth putting in the time to find a platform that
provides your ideal balance between a user-friendly
interface and a flexible framework that allows you to
make your blog look and feel unique. Finding the right
platform isn't always easy - but with a little bit of
contemplation and a little bit of research - you will be on
your way to finding the perfect blogging platform.

Deciding what your priorities are in terms of ease of use
versus customization. Most highly customizable
blogging platforms - like movable type - are a bit more
difficult to use than very automated platforms like
wordpress. If you are new to blogs and to Internet
technology - you might want to sacrifice the ability to
create a custom background design or to integrate a
unique font into your template in order to find a
program that will be easy for you to use. On the other
hand - if you are a veteran web designer with knowledge
of HTML or javascript - you will probably find the
limitations of a user-friendly platform to be frustrating.

There is no such thing as a blogging platform that is
objectively the best platform - because every blogger has
unique needs. The blogging movement is very much
about individuality - so it makes plenty of sense that
there would be many different platforms available that
are designed to meet the needs of different kinds of
individuals undertaking different kinds of projects. This
diversity is a good thing - because it means that you will
almost certainly be able to find a program that suits
your level of technical aptitude.

However - the fact that no two bloggers need the same
thing from a blogging platform can make your search
for the right platform a bit tricky. When you are reading
reviews of different platforms - try to keep your
priorities in mind and do your best to take into account
the position that the reviewer is coming from. For
example - a negative review written by an accomplished
software designer who complains that a popular
platform is too limited may tell you that the platform in
question is ideal for a beginning blogger. There is no
such thing as the perfect platform for everybody - so
instead of looking for the 'best' platform - look for the
best platform for your specific criteria.

Using A Free Blogging Web Site

2011-05-08T13:47:00.001-07:00

When you’re new to blogging - a free blogging web site is a good way to get started. Popular blogging web sites like Blogger and Eponym allow users to set up and host a blog for no cost at all. The fact that one of these sites can provide you with all of the tools that you need to get your blog up and running for free - encourages people to start a blog. As it’s free - you don’t have anything to lose. Many people that have never had any other kind of web presence before find themselves drawn to blogging - partly because it is so easy to find a way to blog for free.

Compared to starting your own blog from scratch - signing up with a free blogging web site will get you listed in search engines much easier. For example - Google - that runs the free blog hosting site Blogspot - crawls its pages very often to look for updates. As a result - if you have a Blogspot blog - you are almost guaranteed to be listed on Google's blog search engine. This way you can spend less time on promoting your blog - and you can gain a following with a minimum of marketing effort.

If your blog attracts many readers - you may want to think about moving your site. Many people think that a blog that is hosted by a free blogging web site has a kind of amateur flavor - not appropriate for a high-profile blog. Your own domain name can help you make your blog feel professional - and finding a webhost is not difficult or expensive. Once your blog starts to attract a large readership - you will probably be able to sell enough advertising space to be able to afford to buy your own domain and pay for a hosting package - and still have money left over. However - until you have a sizeable readership - there’s really no need to invest in these luxuries.

When you want to build a following before you spend any money on your blog - using a free blogging website is a good idea. Later - when you feel ready to take the next step and pay for your own domain - your readers will follow you to your new home.

5months of Online money making.

2011-05-06T08:22:00.000-07:00

It has been an interesting five months since I started working online. In those few months I have learned so much from SEO, different types of Web Hosting options like HostPapa and diffrent sites to buy websites New Customer 25% off Sale from GoDaddy.com! When I just started I was using blogger to promote topics that just did not garner any useful click and unique visitors. Now that I have been studying more and understand a little about internet marketing; I feel a little less stressed.

When I first started back in December 2010, I was hoping I would make a quick buck and be able to make money with little to no work. I was foolish, now I understand there are few overnight success stories but people who dedicate their live at learning how to promote items. Some of the options many people are takaing seriously is affiliate marketing like www.CJ.com witch gives you many opportunity to find company's who are needing people who can promote their items.

The HTML banner above will be my next project starting soon. I have found one needs to make sure you write articles a couple months in advance to ensure you article has time to be found by the search engine.

Many people wonder how you can start making money in a couple month with legit online work. Blogging and article writing are a couple options if a user do not have a lot of money to spend if any Squidoo Earn cash .

I hope with all the knowledge I have learned will help make enough money so I can take more time off to support my family.

HubPages and Articles Writing Update

2011-03-17T05:16:00.000-07:00

I have been working hard recently trying to figure out how I can kick start my article writing online. I have been implementing some new techniques that have shown that my daily views has risen since trying the new techniques.I have been using most of my time to crate enough of quality and well written work, so that I can have a fighting chance to earn a passive income.

On February 4th, 2011 I created my first Hub on HubPages. I was doing a lot of writing and SEO work over on Info Barrel, then InfoBarrell changed there site up a little.

With these stats I have found out that I am about average when it comes to proficiency. I was creating Hubs about every day items and dissions people have to make. I learned how to use the Keyword machine that Google allows people to use.

After my birthday I have been becoming more of a member with HubPages, by communicating, commenting, and answering questions. I also am running a social network campaign to see if social media helps out with views and if it does what does it do.These are my stats for the last 12 days since implamenting the new campaign.

Understanding How to Make Money Online

2011-03-10T05:56:00.000-08:00

I have been trying to make money online for around 3 months now. I can now say making money online is one of the hardest things to do. There are so many different ways to make money, and mixed in are so many scams.To truly learn how to make money online has been hard. I understand there are not that many different ways to make money then people really think. You just need to learn the different terminology and understand some SEO concepts.

What I am trying to say is these are the following ways that I have learned How to Make money online. I am not saying there are more ways, but I will not promote anything that has not made me money. I will post an estimated amount, that an average person using the proper skills can expect to make. Well earnings can be drastically different , don't despair.

Content Creation

Creating content for people who need it for there blogs and websites is a decent way to make money. Webmasters and article writers are looking for writer who can crate original and well researched content. They will send you a list of researched keywords that you will have to make a predetermined amount of word article. Proper grammar and nicely formatted work is what the people are looking for. You do not need to be limited to work other people are looking for. Creating your own content will give you an opportunity to make some passive income. With creation of a website that is promoting a certain object or item will give you an opportunity to make money from Amazon, Google Adsense, and Ebay.

To sum up the last paragraph , with your writing skills money is to be made. It will take some time, but if you use proper keyword search and form your article and or website properly, you make have a decent flow of money. I have earned roughly $1,000 from content creation, and it truly helps with bill payments.

2011-02-17T06:47:00.000-08:00

I am becoming more and more informed on how to make money on the Internet. I now understand there will not be a overnight success story here , Sorry Guys. Also you will need to understand how to market properly to even have a chance to make money. Key words. I am now spending every morning fully understanding what phrase I will be using and the keywords that are being used in the articles.

I also understand that there will be sacrifices to ensure I make enough money to survive on in the future. I will not put up non researched work that has fluff, but will be focusing on 5 niche topics that are proven money makers.

Update on Info Barrel. 1st week of the year

2011-01-04T11:05:00.000-08:00

I am currently working on making an impact on Info Barrel. I am currently researching all of the possible ways to make money consistently while learning how to write proper articles also. The website as I have said before is relatively new and the majority of the posters all ready on are doing good. The average so far for writer that are consistently producing quality articles are around 400 - 700 a month. While there are a few people who have made a name for them selves they are the exception. Earning can be made if you can produce quality article ranging around 1000 words. Subject may or may not produce more in earnings.

I have produced three articles so far to date. While the articles have not made any money I am also trying to figure what type of submission proses they are imposing. It does not take to long from the moment your press publish to the time they approve the articles. I am trying also to figure out why my articles have page views before and don't seem to get any after.

Continuing to write quality articles while pushing out the amount of articles will be hard. Time is the biggest hassle not the subjects to write about.

Monetization

2010-12-19T05:51:00.000-08:00

The biggest blog mistake I ever made was monetizing my blog too early. I slapped on a whole variety of affiliate banners and ads on top of the maximum number of Adsense units. Each of these ads were strategically placed and demanded visual attention from any visitor that wandered onto my blog.
The worst part of it was that I actually set up pop-ups for another blog because I was getting 15,000 page views a day and I wanted to desperately monetize it.
The earnings were certainly nice but I’m quite sure it definitely affected my readership negatively. Needless to say, I ended my brief flirtation with aggressive advertising pretty soon.
As I’ve started blogging and reading more blogs, I gradually came to realize that monetization shouldn’t be the main factor when you are trying to build an authority blog in any specific niche. Developing trust, readership and traffic through effective branding and strong content should be of primary importance.
I finally broke up with Adsense last week as well..
I’ve been using Adsense on Reefer Ideas since Day one. We’ve shared a close relationship for four months but a week ago, I finally mustered enough bravo to dump Adsense and remove all ads on this blog.
Why? Because she was simply not earning me enough money to warrant any continued placement.
I had two options, either go all out for Adsense optimization or remove the ads and direct all focus purely to the content. Going all out meant replacing my cute little pictures with the ugly Adsense square unit at the top of each post.
I chose the latter option and gradually removed most of the ads until I only had a few Adsense units left at several weak locations. This made me a few dollars a day and I eventually decided to eliminate all of them because she was becoming an eyesore.
It was refreshing to be separated from Adsense, whom I’ve been together since forever. All my blogs have used Adsense as a monetization tool and being free of it for Reefer Ideas was really liberating. This also allowed me to more accurately test the potential of other monetization strategies like affiliate programs.
This doesn’t mean I won’t have any more randy trysts with other ad networks in the future, just that I’ll definitely be more picky when it comes to renting out advertising space on Reefer Ideas.
Benefits of not Monetizing Early
While intentionally withdrawing from monetization might lose you a few dollars a day, the advantages of doing so far outweigh the loss in monetary benefits. Not monetizing at an early stage allows you to:

Place stronger visual and mental emphasis on your content, which ultimately determines the size of your reader base.
Maximize the real estate on your blog. You can use the best spots allocated for ads to display your popular posts, social widgets or other material.
Develop a unique and strong design for your blog. Without the necessity of blending ads on a website, you can focus on creating a strong blog design and template that draws attention.
Stress the importance of visitor satisfaction and demonstrate your emphasis of adding value to a reader over profit motives. This possibly increases the objectivity or weight of your opinions.
Increase your potential for getting incoming links. Bloggers are less inclined to link to a website that’s plastered with ads and all types of junk.
Optimize your website for social networks. This is especially important when you promote linkbaits on social websites like Digg and Reddit. For example, an ad-free blog with a strong design is definitely more attractive to StumbleUpon users who are not looking for specific material.
Retain search engine traffic. When most search engine visitors arrive at your website looking for specific information, you have a chance to retain them as a future reader when your blog appeals to them both through your content and visual design.

Monetizing from the Beginning – A Good Idea?
Some have suggested that monetizing your blog from the onset allows your readers to be accustomed to ads right from the beginning.
By exposing the reader early on, it builds their tolerance for advertising and reduces the likelihood of creating nasty surprises that come in the form of unsightly ads.
Here is the main reason why I think this reasoning is flawed:

New visitors arrive at your blog everyday – As more content is developed and optimized, you’ll see more search engine visitors who have never been to your blog before. Visitors will also arrive at your blog through links on other blogs and websites. All these visitors are ‘untapped’ or not familiarized with the advertising on your blog. As we all know, first impressions are important.

This doesn’t mean however, that you shouldn’t monetize your blog. You should, but optimum results will only be achieved when you’ve built up a large reader base or developed a strong daily traffic ratio.
When should I start to Monetize my Blog?
There isn’t a definite time frame because this will depend on the level of traffic your blog receives. A good guideline would be to ask if your blog currently receives enough traffic to make putting ads up worth the effort and space.
Of course, you’ll have to define the idea of profitability. Will you be happy with making a few dollars a day? Or do you want to aim for more traffic and readership before fully monetizing?
This also depends on your blogging objectives. Is your goal to make money through blogging by any means necessary? Or do you aim to leverage the exposure that blogging brings to promote your brand/business/service?
Long term vs. Short term Monetization
Are you building a flagship blog and planning to make an authority in your niche? Or is your blog just part of many others in your arsenal? You have two options: focusing on one blog and making it the main profit generator or creating many blogs to diversify your earning options.
Branding and content is obviously two of the main things you need to emphasis over monetization, if you aim to create one strong blog that serves as a base for all your future earnings.
Long term monetization really means drawing in readers like bees to a honey comb and only after you’ve captured their attention, monetize them through gradual, targeted advertising. Don’t underestimate the power of affiliate links when your recommendation reaches thousands daily.

Diffrent ways to Make money Blogging

2010-12-18T06:00:00.000-08:00

Understanding blogging will be a slow but tedious task. Getting paid from blogging also will be slow. As we have covered before , blogging is about amassing a huge following of people who like and read your topic of discussion.

There are hundreds of blogs being created every day. Why? Because it is becoming one of the easiest ways to make money. Problem is bloggers don’t make money right away and they give up. Well, you do not have to have a lot of traffic to your blog to make money. It is just a matter of finding the right way to make money from your blog. Marketing your blog to get traffic can easily be done because search engines like Google love blogs.

The reason why search engines like Google love blogs because blogs continually have new content. Pinging your blog whenever you do a new post, commenting on related blogs with a link back to your blog, and social bookmarking your blog posts are all effective ways to market your blog. Once you just do those things you can begin to make money by these 10 easy ways:

Ad Units: 12/19/2012

Monetize your blog with ad units. You can get ad units from Google Adsense, Yahoo Publisher, Revenue Pilot, and other contextual ad sites. Contextual ads sites show ads on your blog that are related to your blog niche. Every time one of these ads is clicked you get paid for it. The amount you get paid for every click varies. This used to be one of the more popular ways to get paid online but it’s becoming more difficult as Google (the most used contextual ad site) changes its rules and policies.

Sell Ad Space: 12 / 20/2010

Selling ad space on blogs has been popular for some time. Usually you can find people in your niche who will pay for ad space on your blog. There is many ways to go about this but the easiest way is to just setup an advertise page. On that page you will want to talk about the different sizes of the ads you offer and how many page views and unique visitors you receive every month. The more information you give to possible advertisers, then the better chance you will have making the sale.

Write Paid Reviews:12/21/2010

Paid reviews were really popular a year ago but have died down a bit. However, if you are looking to make some quick cash than they are one of the easier ways to make money on your blog. However, the one problem you may have is that many of these web sites require that your blog be at least three months old or have a certain page rank. Some of these sites are the following: PayPerPost, SponsoredReviews, Blogsvertise, Smorty and others. You will review a service or a product on your blog and get paid for it. Word of warning though, Google does penalize you if they happen to catch you doing this.

Sell Your Products: 12/22/2010

If you have a product then blog about it. You already have people interested in your niche or topic so why not offer your product to them. They probably won’t hate your product if they already like your blog. You have to make sure to take advantage of any money opportunity you have.

Sell Other Peoples Products:12/23/2010

This goes in the category of becoming an affiliate. Selling affiliate products on your blog is as simple as signing up for a program and advertising it on your blog. You do not have to do anything besides selling it to your readers. Writing a post about something you are trying to sell can always help too.

Sell An E-Book:12/24/2010

This basically goes with selling your own product but it deserves its own category. Like I said in a selling your own product section, people are already interested in your niche or topic so why not sell your product to them. In this case you are selling them an e-book you created. Lots of people make some good money creating and selling their own e-book. Your e-book doesn’t have to be real fancy. As long as you give them information that you tell them is in your e-book you should be ok.

Ask For Donations: 12/25/2010

Asking for donations is one of the simplest ways to get some cash. However, there are a lot of people that just do not like to hand out cash so they probably will have to be a very religious reader if they are going to donate to you. To get religious readers it is going to take you quite a few months. So don’t look to get money right away.

Sell Your Service: 12/26/2010

If you have some service such as graphic design, web site design, story writing, financial consultation, or some other service then offer it from your blog. It would just be another way to make money for your service.

Sell Your Cafe Press Items: 12/27/2010

This is a web site where you can create your own T-shirts, coffee mugs, calendars, posters and other stuff that you can sell. You get a percentage of the sale so why not create some products and sell them on your blog. Create products that are related to your niche or topic and you should be able to sell some of your items.

Point Blog to Your Paying Article: 12/28/2010

If you are one of the people that write articles for a site that pays you a performance fee like Associated Content, then you should introduce your blog audience to those articles and make money. Even though this is not a popular way to make money anymore, you can still make money writing articles for these kinds of web sites.

With these points of views you have noticed a date on when I will be covering that topic in full. Please take all of the suggestions to heart , although already knows by many if put to use with a proper schedule you also could be making millions.

A little more info on me.

2010-12-16T10:49:00.001-08:00

I recently read an article that detailed how to make $30,000 annually by writing and maintaining a blog. Much of the article included abbreviations - like CPC and EPC, among others - that I still don't understand after two years of blogging on my own website. I'm not sure I want to understand what they mean. I got into blogging to write and market my work, not to be a corporate advertising portal. However, I do need to feed my family, and my chosen way to accomplish this necessary goal is to write for money. It turns out that you really can make money blogging. So how do you do it? I've read many articles about this theoretical possibility, but not many about how to find these blogging jobs. Here are a few ways to turn theory into practice. Define Your Areas of Expertise When I quit my teaching job to write for a living, I applied for any writing job that looked at all promising, and even some that didn't. My favorite experience involves an ad seeking writers to supply movie reviews for a website. I liked to write, and I liked to watch movies, so I thought it was a great opportunity. I submitted the necessary materials for the initial screening and after a couple of days I was invited to participate in the next step of the hiring process. Enthusiastically, I clicked on the link, and up popped, "DO YOU LIKE TO WATCH P*RN?" in bright red letters. My mouth gaped open as I stared at my computer screen. The simple answer was no, in fact, I didn't. But I have to admit that for about 30 seconds, I considered whether or not I could just watch it so I could write for money. Then I decided I was crazy, and closed the website. Clearly, I needed a strategy. The easy way to make money blogging is to write for websites in your particular area of expertise. For me, this was easy. I had been an elementary school teacher for nine years, so I started to seek out writing jobs in the education field. Once I narrowed down my area of expertise, my job search was no longer overwhelming. It became easier to find legitimate opportunities, and I could more thoughtfully research and apply for promising positions. Start Stalking After I narrowed down my focus to educational writing, I began hunting down opportunities. I wasn't stalking in a criminal way, but I was definitely devoted to finding a job writing for money in my chosen field. I signed up through Yahoo Groups with people in the same area of expertise as well as freelancers looking for writing jobs. I looked on Craigslist in the "Writing/Editing" and "Writing Gigs" areas, as well as "Education," on a regular basis. I subscribed to writing newsletters that publicized professional writing opportunities, and looked specifically for those in the field of education. I also scouted out educational websites. It will take a bit of research, but commit time to finding the websites that apply to your area of expertise and check them daily. Find and read the blogs in the professional areas in which you would like to write, occasionally making comments and linking your own website back to them. Networking, as well as the previously mentioned strategies, will help you get to know other professional writers and get a feel for available opportunities. Before I found my current blogging job, I used all of the previously mentioned resources to apply for jobs that included test-writing, writing copy for educational websites, curriculum development, and transcription for the hearing-impaired. And, of course, educational blogging positions. Try Again...And Again All of these strategies combined will diversify your job search, but here's the most important piece. Don't give up. Apply for every legitimate writing opportunity - many of these include blogging jobs. I applied for several jobs before getting past the first level of submitting my resume and writing sample. But I didn't give up - consistency refined my search as well as my submitted material. I remember thinking that writing for money was a dream that was never going to come true. It turns out that, happily, I was wrong. My job-hunting strategies helped me find a job blogging professionally for an educational company, and my children continue to be fed. It's a great balance.
