One of the questions I see often asked on online discussion forums is, "Can You Actually Do Money From Blogging?" Folk want to cognize if there's several way to profit from the time they spend maintaining their weblogs or personal online journals.
My answer is an emphatic "YES," because I do it... everyday!
Today I'll share with you how I do it.
Let me begin by expression that I don't do thousands per month from MOST of my blogs. However, I do have galore devising hundreds. Since I don't put in a lot of time maintaining them, and I enjoy blogging, I consider the money a bonus. I web log piece sitting in my yard with my laptop computer (on a wireless connection)... observation the clouds roll by.
Another bonus I get from blogging is that it helps my regular websites that are set up as my "money machines."
The search engines visit my blogs more often than they visit my regular sites, and they follow the links from my blogs inform
to another sites. Several of these links point to my sites, and several point to sites of partners. This does help the search engine rankings of these sites MASSIVELY.
How Do I Monetise My Blogs?
I monetise my blogs by creating blogs on topics folk are searching for... and that they are disbursement money on. I cognize which niches are hot to an extent based upon what my research proves pay-per-click advertisers are willing to spend their advertising dollars on.
I run Google AdSense ads on my blogs. I just insert these ads in my menu bar and another strategic places on the webpage. I besides experiment with another paid advertising on my blogs.
I sell affiliate products from my blogs. I just find affiliate products at places like PayDotCom.com and Commission Junction. I incorporate these into my blogs. I do things like product reviews, how-to articles, etc. You can besides locate suitable affiliate products by typewriting your target keywords + "affiliate program" at any major search engine. This should point out many
websites with suitable affiliate programs to you.
How Do I Setup/Host My Blogs?
I have web log hosted on several of my own domains exploitation Movable Type. This is just one of galore great pieces of blogging software. You have another choices... my computer programmer suggested this one to me.
I besides have blogs hosted for free on Blogger.com. I have them on Blogger.com because they are improbably easy to set up and maintain. A secondary reason I have them on Blogger.com is that Google OWNS Blogger.com and they index webpages hosted on their servers OFTEN and FAST!
The private secret to acquiring Google and Yahoo! to visit your blogs often is a technique called "blogging and pinging." It's a know-how
of notifying all of the major search engines, and web log directories, each time that you update your blog. The search engines move to take a look and they follow links from your web log to spider another blogs/sites. It's really powerful.
I won't go into too more details on blogging and pinging here. If you want more information on that topic I invite you to drop by my free, Computer network marketing discussion board and ask any and all questions! It's at:

Examples Of Profitable Blogs?
I know, you want to see examples of profitable blogs :-)
To show you how simple it can be I'll show you just ONE. It’s less than 2 months old :-)
The problem is that as shortly as I show a site to anyone as an example, it's instantly ripped off. So, I'm going to "sacrifice" one devising me just about $60 per day from affiliate product sales and just about $20 per day in AdSense revenue. That site is at:
http://cure-nail-fungus.blogspot.com
The above site presently
ranks Number 6 on Yahoo for the term "cure nail fungus." It's a small niche but one that does me $2400 per month... just from that one blog.
If you searched on the same term at Google, this site is not really extremely
ranked. However, THIS page is Num ber4:
http://www.chitterlings.com/no-more-nail-fungus.html
That happens to be one of my pages too :-) I won't tell you what ALL I'm up to on that page... that's another article. The technique involves exploitation your own domains to promote affiliate products rather than advertising person else's domain... so it improves your link popularity.
I'm not going to show more of my blogs because that just invites competition. Instead, I'm going to answer another question you have to be wondering...
"How do I find time to maintain all of these blogs, even as if they are profitable?"
Well, 1st of all, I don't actually need a lot like the "sacrificial lamb" that I showed you above to support me satisfied.
I do have a number of private secret weapons though. One is called AutoBlogger. You can check it out at:
http://WillieCrawford.com/auto-blogger.html
What AutoBlogger does is allow me to queue up a number of posts for my various blogs in advance. It lets you queue up "articles" which can actually be thing
you want. Then you tell the software system at what frequency to do a post.
My AutoBlogger account allows me to mechanically
post to an UNLIMITED number of blogs.
WARNING: A program like AutoBlogger can get you in trouble if you misuse it! If you use it to spam or abuse the search engines, it's just going to get you banned. If you use it to abuse the web log hosts, they're just going to delete your blogs.
Here's how I use AutoBlogger:
I have sites wherever
I discuss Computer network marketing... as just one example. On these sites I share galore of my articles and tidbits. I just queue up these articles/tidbits to post at a given frequency. This frequency can be a set number of hours, days, weeks, or months. So theoretically, I can set up a blog, pre-schedule 50 posts, and not touch it in months, piece it is mechanically
announce to for the next 50 intervals.
AutoBlogger even as lets you set it to start rotating through the posts once again once
they run out, if you want to. I in person
wouldn't do this since you'd just be posting duplicate content.
AutoBlogger allows you to insert RSS feeds right into your web log posts. So in addition to posting articles you can besides auto-update by adding new RSS feeds at a set interval. Since I HATE causing my traffic to another sites (without reciprocation), these RSS feeds generally pull from MY sites. That way, my traffic is only sent to my another sites.
If you don't even as feel like queuing up a lot of posts, you can go to a site like Elance.com and hire person else to do it for you... or just hired your kids to do it for you. It can be as easy as you want to do it.
OK, I've just proved to you that you can do money off of blogs. In-fact, you can do more money than galore folk do off of their REGULAR websites. It just takes a little thinking outside the box!
It besides takes not being too greedy. What I just showed you works for me because I'm not doing thing
that's likely to get me prohibited from the search engines, Google AdSense, Blogger.com, or any affiliate program. It's only once
you get carried away, and do things that harm the search engines that you "shoot yourself in the foot."
Set up blogs providing useful content. Do regular posts to these blogs but not in a manner that seems unnatural. By that, I mean don't auto-post twenty times in an hour, or post every hour for a month! No human can possible post to a web log at these rates for long, so the search engines observe thing
is "wrong." They don't generally forbid you from exploitation tools to do your job easier... just don't get carried away!
There are actually, thousands of folk earning a living doing things similar to what I just shared... but with little twists. I'm meeting up with galore of them in New Orleans in September. You're invited to join us. We'll fundamentally be sharing how we do a fortune off of niche websites and programs such as Google AdSense. You can register now at:
