 How to Make Money With Your Blog?
by: Ryen Kim

 

Make money blogging is fun: you enjoy blogging and getting
money from blogging. As long as "making money with your
blog" is concerned, it doesn't matter matter actually
whether you enjoy or not. The way generating money from
blogging is the same regardless of whether you enjoy
blogging or painfully doing.

 

Let's get to the point.

 

Every business has the same process. That is, make
potential customer come to you and sell your product,
service or information. Paraphrasing it into blogging term,
let the readers come to your blog and make them click the
link like "Buy now", "Join Now", "Adsense Ads", etc.

 

We call readers as traffic. And about how many out of your
readers click the link refer we as conversion rate. Of
course, the higher the conversion rate, the better.

 

Specifically, make-money blogging follows for steps:

 

* Step 1: You blog, if not, start blogging.

 

* Step 2: Bring traffic to your blog.

 

* Step 3: PREsell with your blog.

 

That is, your blog content attract your reader to do some
kind of action: buy your own product or go to the link you
prepared, for example. But did you notice the word
"PREsell"?. That's the most important thing in your
make-money blogging plan. Many experienced Internet
marketers say that people are not buying anything when you
extensively try to sell something. This makes sense if you
recall your own experience. Did you buy something when a
blogger tried to sell something? Maybe not! Instead, give
your readers useful information and create the warm mood by
giving them the benefits of product that you have in mind.
And then, only then place a link so that your readers click
through. This is so called PREsell.

 

* Step 4: Monetize: This is your final goal and the
monetization has two streams.

 

-Sell your own product, service or information, if you have
one.

 

-For the blogger who don't have their own product, it's
still possible to earn money from their blog thanks to the
many affiliate programs among which most popular one is
"Google Adsense". But it's just one example out of hundred
affiliate programs. if not thousand.

 

In short, make-money-blogging is doing step-by-step action:
that is, you blog, bring traffic, PREsell your blog readers
and finally monetize. Without bringing traffic and
achieving PREsell, it is not possible to monetize your
blog. That's why you need to keep in mind the fact that
make-money-blogging is step-by-step action.

 

Due to the space limitation, I can't explain all the
detail. If you want to know more about each step, you can
read it from the article, what blog can make money?.

Amazing Secrets Of A Free Traffic Generation MASTER
Willie Crawford

 

Without traffic to your website, you're not going to make
any money in your online business (unless you're able to
tap into someone else's traffic).

 

For many websites... especially new sites, one of the
fastest, surest ways to drive traffic to the site is pay
per click search engines. The RISK in using pay per clicks
is that you don't know how well that traffic is going to
convert before you've paid for it. You can adjust your
webpages and your pay per click listing fairly quickly, but
today I want to share with you two of my MAJOR free traffic
generation methods.

 

The most powerful weapon I've used in my marketing arsenal
lately is actually... blogging. A blog is simply an on-line
diary or weblog. Since they are usually updated frequently,
the search engines love them and visit them often.

 

The way that I use my blogs is that when I make a post, I
include a link to a site or webpage that I want spidered by
the search engines. Google actually visits my blogs daily,
and takes snapshots of everything there, and follows links
from the pages, and takes snapshots of those pages! So, I
make minor changes to pages that I want to get ranked
higher, and then I "help" Google to find those updated
pages. It's a simple, ethical, and very powerful method.

 

I'm fairly new at blogging, but I'm quickly getting the
hang of it. Most of what I know about blogging I learned
from a course by my friend Paul Short. The course is called
RSS Exposed. I recommend you get a copy of Paul's course
today and set aside 2 hours to digest it. Get it at:
http://www.profitautomation.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=109478

 

Paul is like me... he's very busy, and doesn't have time
for fluff. So his course is under 100 pages, and it's all
"stuff" that you can read and then immediately implement.

 

Does this stuff work thought. My friend Stephen Pierce
taught me that NOTHING is more powerful than concrete
PROOF. So let's look at how I rank for a few keywords that
I'm focusing on right now. I'll show you with a few of the
more than 100 niches that I have top 10.... often top 3
rankings for. I know that showing you these examples may
attract the attention of potential and existing
competitors, so I won't show you the most lucrative ones
:-)

 

Readers who know me, know that my real online success
started with a simple soul food or southern cookbook! That
one cookbook still generates a very nice six-figure income!
This season of the year, I know that people are on-line
searching for holiday recipes and also gift-giving ideas.
My logs show me how my market finds me... keywords and
sources. They show that for the cookbook, most find my site
through Google, with MSN being a distant second. Here's how
I ranked for a few cooking related terms (as of November
21st, 2004):

 

Soul Food Recipes - #2 out of 1,220,000 Soul Food - #3 out
of 8,840,000 Soul Food Cookbook - #2 out of 273,000 Deep
Fried Turkey Recipe - #3 out of 257,000 Deep Fried Turkey
Recipes - #4 out of 302,000 Sweet Potato Pie - #2 out of
614,000 Sweet Potato Pie Recipe #2 out of 394,000 Fried
Chicken Recipe - #2 out of 861,000 Fried Chicken Recipes -
#2 out of 1,160,000 Southern Fried Chicken - #2 out of
436,000 Deep Fried Turkey - #14 out of 330,000 Pound Cake
Recipe - #2 out of 547,000 Macaroni And Cheese Recipe - #1
out of 207,000 Collard Green Recipe - #4 out of 21,200
Southern Recipes - # 15 out of 4,970,000 ... I guess I need
to work on that last listing :-)

 

One of my other markets is "Internet Marketing," and those
looking to start or improve upon an online or home-based
business. How do I rank there? Here are a few of the
thousands of terms that bring me in free search engine
traffic (again based upon my website logs):

 

Internet Marketing 101 - # 1 out of 5,550,000 Internet
Marketing Course - #2 out of 10,600,000 Free Internet
Marketing Course - #2 out of 11,800,000 Free Internet
Marketing Lessons - #2 out of 2,810,000 Homebased Business
- #9 out of 1,930,000 Homebased Business Course - #1 out of
522,000 Free Homebased Business Course - #1 out of 483,000

 

For those of you without your own product, let's see how I
do with products I have reprint rights to. One is a web
copywriting course by Bob Serling called Power Copywriting
For The Internet. When someone is searching for that course
they search on very specific terms... but... since their
search is so specific, a higher percentage of them will buy
when they get to my website. This is a more niche market,
but some of my rankings are:

 

Internet Copywriter + Bob Serling - #1 out of 985 Web
Copywriting + Bob Serling - # 7 out of 918 Web Copywriting
Course + Bob Serling - #5 out of 16,400 Power Copywriting
For The Internet - #2 out of 128,000

 

Another product that I have reprint rights to is an
excellent course on how to increase your website, and
advertising, conversion rates. It's called, "Small Changes
- Big Profits." Here's my ranking on keywords customers
have recently used to find (and buy) this product:

 

Increase Website Conversion - #6 out of 2,480,000 How to
Increase Website Conversion - # 6 our of 2,490,000 Note
that when you enter that last phrases, Google tells you
that "how to" is a very common phrase and therefore not
included in the search. However, notice that Google found
an additional 10,000 pages when I gave it that expression.
Ok, so I'm confused too :-)

 

My second most powerful weapon right now is that I write
lots of ezine articles... like this one. Since 1998, I
would estimate that I've written over 300. Those articles
are a very powerful way of getting one-way links to my
site. Those articles are a powerful way for people with
specific problems or interest to find my sites.

 

Here's a simple example of how powerful articles can be. I
know for a fact that the majority of people in network
marketing aren't doing that great. I also know why. The
proof that I know what they are doing wrong, and how to
correct it, is provided by the fact that I was recently the
#2 producing representative in a major network marketing
company for 2 consecutive months. The only reason I wasn't
#2 longer is that I've only been with the company a little
over 4 month, and that in my fourth month, I was the #1 top
producing rep in the entire company!

 

Recognizing what many network marketers are doing wrong...
especially those that market over the internet, I wrote an
article on the topic. This article targeted those who
wanted to know why their network marketing is failing. So
if you go to Google and enter...

 

"Network Marketing Failing" without the quotation marks,
you'll see that the returns for webpages featuring my
article take up the entire first page. If a person were to
type in the statement "My Network Marketing Is Failing" my
page ranks #1 out of 312,000. Do people search on these
terms? Not as many as search on more competitive terms, but
why not go after easier terms... why not go after "the
low-hanging fruit."

 

People do visit my sites after reading the hundreds of
articles that I've written, and they do make purchases and
join my network marketing team. That's proof that writing
and properly using articles is a very powerful traffic
generation technique. I have lots of resources on how to
properly do this inside my private membership site. If
you're not a member, you should join today. Inside the site
you'll find lots more solid, usable information like you
just gotten in this article.

 

I've just shared with you two of my most powerful free
traffic generation methods. I actually know HUNDREDS but
only use a handful. I believe that it's better to get
really good at using a few rather than tinkering with (but
never mastering) many. You need to do your research and
find the techniques that work best for you.

 

If you'd like a really comprehensive course on website
traffic and sales generation methods, I recommend John
Reese's Traffic Secrets Course. Check out John's course to
learn a ton of ways to outflank your competition at:
http://www.profitautomation.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=110203
It's 14 DVD's, so realize that it will throw a LOT of
information at you. Make sure that you pick just a few
techniques he covers, and then put them into immediate
action rather than letting the sheer volume of information
overwhelm you.

 

As I've demonstrated, being a master at generating free,
responsive traffic doesn't have to be complicated or even
difficult :-)
