How to Earn Online With a Blog

Did you know you can make a significant income on the internet just by creating a blog and selling products on it? Don't worry. To make money online, you don't have to be a salesperson and you don't have to be a writer. You just have to have a solid plan and be strategic about executing it. Here's how you can go about making a profit off your blog.

If you want to be successful at earning money online, you have to have a smart plan that you work relentlessly towards executing. So before you even write your first blog post or even before you choose what you're going to blog about, you first need to plan for the monetization of your blog. That means you have to decide right now how exactly you're going to go about turning your blog into a money maker. This way you can build your whole blog around this strategy.

So what are some good ways to make your blog profitable? There are two suggestions I have for you even though there are infinite ways to actually make money online. The first I'd recommend is creating your own products. I suggest sticking to ebooks if you're in an information-heavy niche because it's easy to do and there's no overhead. The only other method I'd use to sell on your blog is affiliate marketing. This involves recommending other people's products and services to your readers and then receiving a commission on any sales made through your promotions. This is a great way to make sales on your blog even if you aren't a sales person.

Creating a money-making blog should be simple but many people find the process difficult and confusing. If you want to learn how to set up your very own blog, u can buy the eBook for instruction how to start your blog today!

Should I Blog on a Schedule?

If you're serious about blogging and eventually becoming a professional blogger, then you know how important it is to create content, and do it on a consistent basis. For that reason, many people who are serious about working from home, may decide that creating a schedule is a great way to go. I want to take the time to tell you a little bit about my blogging career, why schedules are good and why they are bad. Finally, I want to tell you exactly what you should base your blogging strategy off of.

Many of you probably aren't too familiar with my work. My name is Hafiz, and I'm just a Amateur Blogger. Although I blog from home, many people don't know who I am, because I don't usually cover extremely popular niches. I have tried becoming an online celebrity, but for me, I found that this just wasn't the way to success. Since I have been working online for about 2 years, I have developed a strategy that works extremely well for me, and helps me make around $700 every month. I want to take the time to talk to you about my experiences blogging on and off of a schedules, before finally telling you what you should really base your strategy off of.

Using a Schedule: Many people find that using a schedule is an extremely effective blogging strategy. People will set specific times to wake up, write, build backlinks, and close shop. This is great for some people, because it allows them to stay organized, and get a great amount of work accomplished. For many, schedules are way too stressful, and making blogging feel like more of a job than it should really feel like. Don't get me wrong, blogging is a job, but the more you make it feel like it, the less you will complete. For me, using a schedule worked better than not, because I got more done, and in turn, made more money. Still, it's not my most effective technique.

Not Using a Schedule: On the other end, we have people who 'free blog.' These people will blog when they please. I've tried using this strategy, but it's not very effective. When you don't have some sort of structure, you're not going to get as much done as you would if you did. Using this technique didn't bring me much success, but I still did make some money, and I was never stressed out.

Go by Performance Goals: If you really want to be a successful Blogger, don't set a schedule and don't free blog; Instead, you should try setting performance goals. An example of a performance goal would be saying that you're going to write 4 site posts and 2 EzineArticles everyday. By the end of the month, you will have written about 120 site posts and 60 EzineArticles.

By setting performance goals, you're setting yourself up for success. Remember, it doesn't matter what time you work, as long as you get the job done.

What Is an Auto Blog?

You know for a long time the term auto blog has conjured up some really awful feelings around the internet marketing world. In fact many people view an auto blog as spammy or scammy and while it may be true if it is setup with that intent it is actually possible to create auto blogs that provide exceptionally good information that people want to read. If you think that an auto blog is just ripping other people's content off and claiming it as your own you are completely on the wrong path. While you may be able to do this for a short time without any negative effects you will never do very well with this strategy.

Stealing other peoples content is an exceptionally bad idea and will only lead you down a path where you could get your blog shut down or worse. Think about how you might feel if your content were stolen and used for someone else to profit from. By using content that you are legally allowed you avoid any potential legal issues and create a quality experience for your readers. Your readers should want to return and read interesting and engaging content provided automatically via the correct channels.

To create a good syndicated blog you need to very clear about the niche you would your auto blog to be about including down to just a few good keywords. Any more than a few keywords and you will find yourself producing junk content that is not at all connected. As a matter of fact I generally recommend that you select just one keyword to auto blog about. Next up you will need to make sure that you are grabbing content you are allowed to grab. Now what this means is that you need to be publishing content that authors are allowing you to. Often times I see people who are just setting up an auto blog and stealing content that is copyrighted. Believe it or not there is a plethora of free content on the web that publishes have absolutely no problem allowing you to duplicate.

The good thing about setting up a proper auto blog is that you also help other publishers out by including their links and thus promoting their work along with your own. Part of the allure of an auto blog is that you can literally leave it set to go and continuously publish fresh content which is something that Google loves. While a single auto blog will not make hundreds of thousands of dollars what it can do is start to lift those chains of corporate America off of your back. An auto blog needs to be something that provides value to the readers and should not be built for search engines. If you provide value to your readers they will click your ads and buy through your affiliate links earning you varying levels on income.

I have personally had quite a few of these setup over the course of my internet marketing career and I can tell you that there is significant profit available with a little bit of work involved. You cannot go into this assuming that by pumping out poorly spun content you cannot even read yourself you will ever make a dime. So long as you understand that you must put some time and effort in to get some quality work you won't be disappointed with the results. Just like anything in life the more effort that you put in the greater the overall success you will have.

A final word of thought about auto blogs is that occasionally you should be willing to write your own unique content into it. Consider writing one or two posts a month that are completely unique and on topic with the blog. So long as you follow my tips and get a good program to walk through everything you can begin your own network which over time can make you a solid income. Remember that this is not some sort of get rich scheme but rather a proper online business that with some solid thought behind it can do very well for you.

Blogging 101


Blogging 101 is mostly about the blogging vocabulary. To understand blogs, you need to know the terms blog, platform, domain, and web host.
Once you have mastered these key elements of blogging, you can enter any conversation about blogging with confidence. After you know what exactly a blog is, you will be on your way to passing the final exam of blogging 101.

Blog is short for weblog, which simply means a series of online posts presented in reverse chronological order. That’s all! Most blogs are text, but there are also photo blogs and video blogs.

The rest of blogging 101 has to do with the technical side of things. If you are setting up a blog, you will need a platform, a web host, and a domain. A blogging platform is a computer software program that allows you to write posts and to update your blog.

Your platform is also what you use to design the look of your blog, from color scheme to font size. The web host is sort of like the virtual file cabinet where your blog is stored. Your computer communicates with the host when you upload or edit a post.

The domain is the online address of your blog, and usually ends in ‘dot com’. Now that you know what a blog is, what a platform is, and what domains and hosts are, congratulate yourself!

You have passed blogging 101.

I'm Living For Blogging

One girl ask me. Why i love to use my blog to make money online? I ask her one question. To answer that silly question but might be have deep meaning in her life. “Do you love money?” “Do you like to use money in this world?” She answer me fast. Yes! And she got the answer for her question. It save my time to answer her silly question. People always like that. Keep asking even they might know the answer.

My sister ask me something different. Do you think you can make living with your blogging job? I ask her again. Another question. To answer that stupid question. But she might have a good reason why she ask me that question. “Sis, did you think you can make living with teaching people at school?”

She smiles. She know i’m trying to trap her with my question and i believe she know my answer. Yes. It same. If you put your heart in your job, you can make living with that job. Nope. Any job! As long as you know how to handle and manage your life and learn how to never giving up. Sometimes, people not satisfy with their job. Not have enough money. Want to have more expensive shoes. Want to buy more cloth. Want to have more money.

I never said that was wrong. It was your money. But learn to spend your money in right way. If not, never ask me to borrow my money and not have any intention to pay back. I hate that kind of people even you are girl or boy. I don’t care if good or bad people. But if you borrow someone people money, pay back immediately.

So, either you work as full time blogger or teacher or any job in this world, i don’t care. As long as you put your heart and love in your job. Never look down your job & Never give up !! U won't know the result until u try till the end .....

P/S : People love to look down others people.
