Do Those Sites About Blogging Really Work?
Jul 26th
I come across so many sites that promise to teach you how to blog and make money doing so. They promise to teach you how to make a living off blogging within 6 months, however they either all teach you exactly the same or sneak in spam or a charge along the way. But the real question is of course-do they work?
In my experience of reading and following their advice, I can honestly say that they have made either little to no impact on my blogging skills. Using social media(other than twitter) does you no good if you have a small number of friends. Using sites like Entrecard is no good and so many of their other tips aren’t good either.
Sure, they might work for you if you are Bill Gates or you have already mass following. But the average blogger does not and they also do not have the time or money as they do. So what can a new blogger learn from them?
Nothing.
Most of my blogging skills were self taught or learned. Sure, I’ve made blogging mistakes and failed at a few attempts. But hey, I am only human after all! But what I know now, is that blogging takes time and effort. Nobody will make a million dollars a year by blogging in their first year(most don’t ever make a million anyhow). But you can make enough money to live on via blogging.
My goal is to of course make enough money to live on by blogging(though I also do freelance writing…which helps). But I think I can show the average blogger how to start being a successful blogger without selling them stuff or lying to them.
My next post will go more into detail on what I mean. Stay tuned for more info.
Blogging Project Update
Jul 16th
After a month long waiting, I finally can give you all an update.
You may wonder why I haven’t posted that much about it or maybe you even thought I forgot about it? Well no, I haven’t. I was looking hard for a host that would offer what I am looking for. But I have found it and now working on building it up.
Got any good ideas for free wordpress themes? I am looking for something magazine style!
Guest Post-Blogger Hexagon:6 Definite Methods To Get Your Blog Earning
Jun 26th
This is the first guest post in my series of guest post. If you’d like to do a guest post, please feel free to email me(email address can be found on the about page).
———————————————————-
This article assumes that you already have a blog set up and a
reasonable amount of regularly updated content within your blog. If not you need to set
yourself up with a blog site from somewhere like http://missvirtualreality.blogspot.com.
I myself had a blog, in which I was earning with via the following methods
but had to quit blogging due to personal reasons.
So please read this thoroughly only to make a good sum of money:
1)Money4Blogs:
Money4Blogs pays you to place a static text link on your blog. I
have heard that you can even earn more than $100 on a PR5+ blog.
If you have a PR2 blog chances are that you can make up to $30 to place a link.
Usually you have to submit your blog or blogs to Money4Blogs and
they will check out your blog and if appropriate make you a very
reasonable offer to place a small text link on your site. They accept
only English language blogs and blogs older than 3 months with
regularly updated content. You get paid instantly via Paypal once your
blog is approved.
2)Google Adsense:
If your site generates a reasonable amount of traffic you can
use adsense for your blogs.
I don’t think I need to explain to you about adsense. The info
is easily available and you can learn about it by googling for it.
3)MyLot:
MyLot is a forum discussion site, where you create discussions for
other people to join and comment on, as well as comment on discussions
that other people have created.
You can also upload photos and you get paid, both for getting involved in
discussions as well as uploading images.
Although the money paid out is small, you need to think outside the
box, money can be earned via referrals and you can also refer related discussions back
to your own site, so the opportunity to get extra traffic should not be ignored.
They pay monthly, if your balance has reached at least $10 via PayPal.
4)Article Writing and Revenue sharing sites:
To become a problogger and start earning money you need to build a
reputation for your writing in the blogosphere. You can make it by writing articles for
sites like Isnare and ezinearticles.com, where they allow self promotion.
You can get quite a number of interesting visitors to your blog via this method.
There are many other paid article writing sites and revenue sharing article writing sites,
notably Triond.com, Groundreport.com and Bukisa.com for US as well as
non-US residents, while Helium, AC and Textbroker which are only for US
citizens.
These sites don’t allow self promotion, but you can cunningly do it to get interesting backlinks and readers to your site.
These sites pay you for pageviews and also share part of revenue
generated. by ads on your articles.
There are also a few revenue sharing sites notably Hubpages.com
which pays 60% of adsense revenue, you can also add your eBay affiliate codes as well as Amazon
affiliate codes too.
5)Pay Per Post sites:
Once your blog gets a good PR(usually PR2+) you can get paid to post
for companies like PayPerPost, Blogvertise, Blogitive, Smorty, etc.
You normally have to write 200 words with mostly 2 links in your post. Due to changes in Search engine
algorithms and many alterations in the search engines, nowadays its really hard to get opportunities,
but if you get one don’t miss it. Its surely going to make you easy money.
6)Money4banners:
If your blog is among the following niche: health, insurance,
finance, then you should give Money4banners a shot.
They pay you sign up bonus of $10 and pay you a
fixed money every month to place 3 banners on three different pages of your site.
They pay $5 every month via Paypal.
These are some of the methods by which you can earn a definitive income via
your blog provided your blog is regularly updated and has UNIQUE CONTENT.
I thank Sarah for this opportunity to increase my audience and I am looking forward to more such stuff.
Please leave some feedback.
