Over the past week I have been busy working on various changes to my blogs. You know it takes time to reach the desired perfection you wish for your blog. When you do it well, you improve your skills and feel fulfilled.
In my blogging career, I am very happy to have met with great people who had taught me tips on getting ahead. Some of what I learnt from them is what I have been bringing to you in my posts so that you too can leverage on their knowledge to become a master and above all swell your bank account.
Sharing your knowledge with others is a great way to express yourself and ad value to
other people’s lives.
My mentor who will be sharing winning tips with you today is Ant Onat. You will learn 13 steps to successful blogging so easily that you will be instantly motivated to take the vital step to your eldorado.
Blogs can be a very marketable and very profitable tool if used correctly. Profiting from blogs is just a matter of grabbing the attention of an audience and not doing any actual salesmen selling. In this article you will learn the 13 most essential steps to successful blogging.
1) Where to start?
You should begin your blog with a free blog hosting service such as Journal Home or Blogger. Starting with a free blog hosting service allows you to begin blogging instantly without having any advance knowledge of scripts, hosting, or programming. It allows you to focus on your content and not the internal maintenance of the blog. The best benefit of starting with a free service is, in the case your blog doesn't become successful you do not lose any money or are you left holding the bill. The great thing about a blog is that they are organized in chronological order, your latest entry is displayed first. When your blog traffic grows greatly and you are ready to upgrade to your own domain then you can simply make your last blog entry the announcement of your "move". Simply add a last entry stating that your blog has "moved" and type the new blog URL address. Which directs visitors to your new blog site, keeping your following, without a major inconvenience to anyone. Upgrade as you need to...but only when you need to!
2) Niche
A niche is a targeted product, service, or topic. You should first decide on a product, service, or topic which interest you. Choose an area which you can enthusiastically write about on a daily basis. You can use keyword research services like Google Zeitgeist or Yahoo! Buzz Index to find popular searched topics. It does NOT matter if your topic is popular as long as there is a audience for your topic and the topic is precisely focused then your blog should be successful. Anything can be considered a niche as long as it has a target audience no matter how large or how small the audience is. A blog about your cat can be a niche or a blog about the species of the cat family can be a larger niche market, if there are people who are interested in hearing about your cat or the species of the cat family...you can even choose to build your audience for a market which an audience does not exist, but first you must build your blog.
3) Update Daily (nothing less)
This step is a must and not a suggestion. Updating your blog daily not only keeps your blog more interesting to readers, but it also gives your blog fresh content on a day to day making it more appealing to search engines. Not updating your blog on an occasional holiday or one day here and there is understandable to most, but missing days at a time or weeks is unacceptable and will most likely result in your blog being unsuccessful. To keep your blog traffic and retain your visitors interest it is a must to update your blog daily with multiple entries. You should try to update your blog everyday with at least 3 or more daily entries. The best way to accomplish this is to set aside 1-2 hours a day for tending to your blog and adding new entries. It may even be wise to schedule a set time which you dedicate to your blog each day. Give yourself work hours and treat your blog as a job, what happens if you don't come to work for days or weeks...you lose money or worse you get fired! Same applies here...if you don't update your blog for days or weeks you'll lose visitors.
4) Traffic
It's no secret. You must have traffic to profit from blogs. There are numerous ways to build traffic. Paid advertising, free advertising, viral marketing, search engine marketing, RSS/XML feeds, and word-of-mouth. You should always use your blog URL address in the signature of your email, forum discussions, message boards, or any other communication media. You should submit your blog URL address to search engines and blog directories. You should submit your RSS/XML URL feed to blog ping services like Technorati, Ping-O-Matic, and Blogdigger. You should confidently share your blog with family, friends, co-workers, associates, and business professionals when it relates. Many blogs can be considered as a collection of articles, for this purpose you should submit your blog entries (those that are valuable and lengthy articles) to content syndicators like GoArticles.com or ArticleCity.com. Once submitted your articles can be picked up and published by others. The trick is to make sure you include your Blog URL address in the "About the Author" passage. What this does is create link popularity and backlinks for your blog, when someone picks up your article from the syndication then publish the article on their website the "About the Author" passage is included with each publication and the link you included is followed, crawled, and indexed by search engines. Imagine if your article is popular enough or controversial enough to produce 10,000 publications across the web. The search engines is bound to find your site in no time with that many publications and credit you a authority on the topic, in return increasing your rank on search engines. The small effort of writing a well written article is rewarding. You should try to write at least 1 full length article every week for syndication and submit your article to at least 10 article syndicators.
5) Track Your Blog
How do you know if your blog has traffic? Just because no one is leaving comments doesn't mean your blog isn't growing. Many visitors do not leave comments but they are returning visitors. I know it sounds crazy but with blogs people are more interested in what "you" have to say! Many visitors do not comment their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time. Some do not comment at all, but are active daily visitors.
Tracking your blog does not have to be overly sophisticated usually a simple free page counter like StatCounter.com or Active Meter will do the trick. Install (copy/paste) the code into the html of your blog template and start tracking your visitors. Its better to use a service which gives you advanced traffic analysis, such as keyword tracking information, referral information, and search engine information. Visitors, returning visitors, and unique visitors should be standard for any page counter service you choose.
6) Listen to Your Audience
When using the proper page counter you should begin to see how others are finding your blog and if through search engines then which keywords are being used to find your blog. If constantly your blog is being found by 1 or more keywords then focus your blog around those keywords to make it even more powerful. When writing entry titles and entries use the keywords as often as possible while keeping the blog legible and interesting.
7) Multiple blogs
Use multiple blogging accounts to attract more people. This means you should have a blog with JournalHome.com, Blogger.com, LiveJournal.com, Blog-City.com, tBlogs.com, etc. The more blog accounts the better. You can copy/paste from 1 blog to all others. Having different blog accounts is like having a publication in different newspapers. This enables you to attract more visitors and this also increases the chance that 1 of your blogs will be in the search engine results for your focused keywords.
8) Short & Concise
Aside from the lengthy article a week for syndication and publication your blog entries should be short & concise (if you can help it). Sometimes there are exceptions to the rule and you have no choice but to blog lengthy entries, but try to avoid this as much as possible. You do not want your blog entries to become hours of reading. Visitors like to easily find information and skim through your entries. It is good to be detailed and provide useful information, but do not include useless information or run away sentences that veer away from your topic.
9) Digital Art
Try to include non-advertising graphics, pictures, photos, and art in your blog entries. Not too much. Once a week is fine. Graphics can sometimes bring your blog to life. Of course, the content of the blog is the most important aspect and you do not want to overshadow your content with graphics, but displaying graphics can add a bit of spice to the blog. Be choosy about your graphics and make sure they fit your entry topic. You should add content with the graphic, at least a caption. Original graphics, photos, pictures, and art is recommended.
10) Keep it Personal
A blog is most successful when it is kept personal. Try to include personal experiences which relates to the topic of your blog entry. Stay away from the business style of writing. Write with a more personal style and use first-person narratives. Do not write any of your entries as sales letters, instead share product reviews and personal endeavors.
11) Interact With Your Visitors
You now have the traffic you deserve. You should begin interacting with your visitors. Create a regular theme such as: "Monday Money Tip" or "Picture of the Week" which entices your readers to look forward to each week.
Give your readers advance notice about a product, service, or topic which you are going to review and then talk about later. If the President was scheduled to give a speech then in your blog you should state that you "will discuss the speech and give your opinion after the speech airs. Comments will be appreciated".
Try your best to find exclusive information that not many have. Do not disclose any confidential or secret information which is deemed illegal or can potentially get you into trouble, but try to get the scoop before everyone else does. Such as: If your blog was about Paris Hilton (the socialite) and you had a blog entry about "Paris Hilton Getting Married" then it would be interesting to your readers if you had a actual picture of Paris Hilton engagement ring. Give your best effort to dig and search the internet for exclusive information and you will possibly come up with something useful. Your readers will appreciate this and they show their appreciation through word-of-mouth referrals. Imagine how many readers will tell their friends, family, and others about information they only can find at your blog.
12) Make Money
Once your blog has gained some real momentum and your blog traffic is increasing then it is time to start thinking about turning your traffic into profit. You should use contextual advertising, like Google Adsense or Chitika. Contextual advertising is usually text links which use the content of your blog to publish targeted ads on your blog. The payout is usually based on a pay-per-click model, meaning for ever click an ad receives you are paid a small percentage of the profits. In addition to contextual advertising it is good to also use graphical advertising such as: BlogAds.com, Amazon.com, MammaMedia, or General Sponsored Advertising.
13) You're a Professional
You're a professional now! What are you still doing with that free blog hosting service? It is time to upgrade to a domain hosted solution. You need to get a web host and choose a domain name for your blog then check its availability. Select the blogging software you wish to use, such as: Squarespace.com, WordPress.org, MovableType.org, etc. When you have your new blog domain setup and ready for traffic then it is time for you to announce your move on all your previous blog accounts. Your last entry to the blog should be a "move" announcement. The title should be "Moved" and the blog entry should state something like "Old Blog has been moved to New Blog please follow and bookmark this link for future reference: http://www.YourNewBlogDomainName.com". This way all returning visitors and new readers should not have any problem finding your new blog domain.
At the level of a professional blogger you may want to team up with 1 or more other bloggers. This will create a more interesting and more powerful blog. The old saying "two heads is better than one", more authors mean more advertising and exposure because each author will have a vested interest in the blog. The idea of a team blog is to make it profitable and rewarding for all authors, while continuing to target the blog topic and keeping the blog interesting for visitors.
Following these blogging techniques should make your blogging experience much more rewarding. There is no guarantee that your blog will become popular or a household name, but the effort should at least put you one step closer. Making money online is not an overnight experience like many may think, but making money online is definitely a foreseeable possibility. As well, growing popularity on the web is not an overnight experience, but through time, dedication, and persistence you will be rewarded with all the royalties of blogging.

How To Use Social Sites To Drive Traffic To Your Blog
There are some blogging truths you need to discover as you commit more of your time to digging out the skills that will open your eyes to how top fliers drive massive traffic to their blogs. Please remember that you can make money without getting people in numbers to read or view your blog.
What has social or bookmarking sites got to do with your blog traffic? That is what you will find in this article culled from blogging truth.com
'Social Bookmarking (adding your sites to bookmarking sites like Digg) sometimes known as SB in short is one of the biggest traffic generators to the blogs.
They help in following ways : -
Wide Exposure - Your posts after being added to social bookmarking sites like Indianpad, Digg would show your posts to a large audience who would come to know about your blog.So this is a big exposure and way of getting new feed subscribers & traffic.
Direct Traffic - If your article is good enough & few people vote for it, then that would bring you a bunch of traffic to your blog which can help improve Alexa ranking which is crucial. You know the sites/links which get enough vote in Digg.com to appear in front page get about 50000+ unique visits per day if they stay in homepage for sufficient time.
Good Backlinks - Many social bookmarking sites like Digg provide quality backlinks as they are the one very much liked by Google and usually come at top of searches. indirectly you get google juice as a part of SEO and organic traffic from Google search. Also search engine ranking of your blogs increase due to lot of incoming links. Still you have to remember that not all bookmarking sites pass Google Juice to links. StumbleUpon which is much known for targeted traffic it provides has all the links in nofollow so does not pass PR or SERP.
How To Boost Blog’s Traffic & Exposure : -
Select Social Bookmarking Sites According To Niche - Some bookmarking sites like Digg are general and don’t comply to any niche. So posting your top blog posts there would bring traffic. one advice is never post all your articles there as either they may ban your site due to spam or you and your articles may not be liked by Diggers who would bury your items instead of digging. For General news, entertainment news,Hollywood etc the bookmarking sites are Digg, Indianpad,BestOfIndya (Indian entertainment niche) and at last but not the least my own social bookmarking site Urlpix.Com which may be new but gets good traffic as it is well promoted.
Not All Bookmarking Sites - I’ve seen many professionals give service like submitting your site to 50,75,100 etc bookmarking sites but we have to remember that they may provide backlinks but not traffic. Sites like Digg.com where the users vote for articles provide real traffic & more votes->more traffic. But bookmarking sites like Del.icio.us are meant to share & store links/bookmarks online. If many people would save your article then chances are there you may appear at their homepage which consists of most saved articles, but that is very difficult for content sites like blog. So you should not waste time by submitting to those sites where each article does not get exposure at instant but in social bookmarkings like Digg your articles would appear on upcoming news to be digged & taken upwards.
Submit Best Posts Only - Submit best of your posts to these bookmarking sites but for bookmarking sites like Indianpad.com, Urlpix.com you can submit all your posts regularly as they would provide good traffic.
Keep Submitting Everything Before Your Blog gets Popular - one thing i marked is after you keep on submitting good posts to these bookmarking sites, you would get a bigger audience - more daily traffic, more feed subscribers after few days even tough you don’t submit any more to those bookmarking sites. this is because your site has got good exposure & hence something like a buzz is spread to many potential readers.
Stumble Rumble - StumbleUpon is more a social networking than bookmarking where you share a link(may be some of your top blog posts) but it is made in a way where people visit your site if interested and traffic is targeted to your content(you should use appropriate tags while submiting)'.

7 Great Ways To Make Money With Your Blog
If you have followed my previous lessons on this blog, you must have discovered now that my main passion is getting you to learn how to blog and be paid for it.
I do so many things to get information so that you can have the best tricks to make money with your blog.
I recently discovered 7 great ideas some great bloggers are using to earn huge income online. I invite you to get settled and enjoy this secrets sourced from www.bloggintruths.com
'There are a lot of methods of earning money from your blogs which are used by many bloggers including me. Let’s have an in-depth view of the methods of earning money from blogs and check how effective is each method. I’ve used some of them successfully in my other blogs but as this blog is new I’ve not used all these methods here in BloggingTruths.Com.
Please note that the numbering is my innovation to this article
1 Publishing Adsense Ads In Blog This is the method used by every people in their blog. You need to show advertisements of ad companies like Google’s Adsense and they pay you according to the number of people who click their advertisements in you websites. You get paid per click your give to the advertisements. You may earn from $.01 to $1 per clicks in adsense. So to start earning showing/publishing ads of adsense signup for a free adsense account using your site/blog (to create a new adsense account you must have a general site or blog). Using adsense a normal blog with good traffic optimised for adsense may make up to $500/month. But about $120/month (25000 unique visitors/month - a case study) is what you expect from blogs with good traffic but with less conversions. Every 10 visitors to your blog may click a ad each earning you $5 if adsense is optimized, or those 10 clicks may earn you $.50. It all depends on quality of ads shown by adsense in your blogs. Some blogs get huge traffic but few clicks so earn less. Still adsense has become most popular in earning money from websites, might not be most money earner when it comes to blogs. Adsense ads are contextual i.e. as per your content so you get more clicks. They pay by cheque (this payment method is used by Indians including me) and other methods like wire transfer, western union money transfer (newly introduced suitable for Asians-Indians).
2. Publishing PPC Ads Other Than Adsense Other than adsense there are PPC ad networks whose ads you can show in your blogs and earn money on clicks basis.AdBrite is considered best money earner next to adsense when it comes to PPC (Paid Per Click). Adbrite pays you per click it’s ads get on your blog, also pays on CPM basis i.e. some $$/ every 1000 impressions their ads get.
Considering PPC ads for blogs Widget Bucks is a new ad network which requires you to show a nicely designed widget in sidebar of your blogs and earn up to $.75/clicks the links in this widget get from your blogs. Also they are giving $25 in free after you sign up and minimum payout is $50. So signup for a free account at widget bucks and straightly get $25, shows widget in your blog and make another $25 quickly and get paid.
There are many other PPC adnetworks floating around in internet and they all are not quite recommended for blogs.
3. Affiliate Marketing Get Paid For Action Yes many bloggers earn a great deal using this. Just sign up as affiliate for different products related to your blog’s content and get paid when your affiliate link makes your user buy that product i.e. he buys using your link and you get your commissions. Clickbank and Commission Junction are most preferred sites for affiliate programs and products giving commissions as they have huge market place. So have a free account at those sites. get your links for related products (search for it) and show in blog in sidebar or posts and get paid for action like signups, sale etc. Also adsense has it’s referral products like Adsense, Adwords others where you are paid to refer others to use these services free. Amazon.Com has a referral or affiliate program where you build a mini store with it’s products and get commissions for sales.
4. Showing Live Ebay Auctions In Blogs You may use Auction Ads that shows some related ebay auctions in your blog and when some one bids for that item in ebay using your links and wins it you get a nice commission but he needs to win that bid which may not be possible. You can read my review on Auction Ads to know if it works or not for blogs. Also here if you signup for free publisher account at auction ads you earn $25 free.
5. Showing CPM Ads In Blogs When you show CPM Banners in your page you get paid about $0.5 per 1000 pageviews/impressions to your blog. No need of clicks but never recommended as it makes your blog tidy. YieldManager is most preferred adnetwork in case of CPM. These ads are annoying and your visitors never like it.
6. Get Paid To Write Honest Reviews Or Posts Regarding Some Services/Products In Your Blog - This is the biggest money maker for any/every blogger in this blogging world. John Chow makes more than $10,000 per month writing paid reviews or sponsored blog posts in his blog. If you have a blog then you can earn huge money by writing posts regarding products/services of advertisers by saying nothing but your honest opinion or review on that product. You get more review offers and are paid more for each review if your blog has good Google Pagerank (PR 4 is good), Good Alexa Rank, Good Number Of Feed Subscribers. But for new blogs like us this is not easy as google updates pagerank only in quarterly. If you want to earn writing paid reviews in your blog you may sign up for free accounts at top review marketplaces sites like ReviewMe, PayPerPost, Smorty and many others and add your blogs to get them approved. In such sites that are meant for paid posts advertisers look to buy paid posts or reviews about their product from several blogs, so when you add your blogs the advertisers know about your blogs. ReviewMe advertisers usually pay more for reviews and smorty.com is good for new blogs out there as it does not have any rules like min blog age = 90 days like PayPerPost and ReviewMe have and page rank 0 blogs are accepted. Some advertisers just want some link backs in review and are suspected to pay for links only not honest review. You have all rights and control over reviews. You may watch my review on smorty.
7. Earn Selling Text Links In Blogs If you have a blog with good pagerank then many people would like to pay you monthly to have their links in your blog’s sidebar or other places. Either you have to sign up for text link advertisement market places or brokers like TLA and TNX.NET and LinkWorth and you need to pay them some commissions for every link sold in your site. A single link can fetch you $30-$100/month if you have pagerank 5 or above and links are quality and placed in perfect places. Using TNX.NET you can sell links in separate pages separately to different people and earn TNX points.
Either you join several advertisement programs to get advertisers show ads on your blog in any form or offer advertisements in your blog using the blog itself without any ad network. It solely depends on you. We would have detailed post on each of the above methods.'

Some blogs get huge traffic but few clicks so earn less. Still adsense has become most popular in earning money from websites, might not be most money earner when it comes to blogs. Adsense ads are contextual i.e. as per your content so you get more clicks. They pay by cheque (this payment method is used by Indians including me) and other methods like wire transfer, western union money transfer (newly introduced suitable for Asians-Indians).
2. Publishing PPC Ads Other Than Adsense Other than adsense there are PPC ad networks whose ads you can show in your blogs and earn money on clicks basis.AdBrite is considered best money earner next to adsense when it comes to PPC (Paid Per Click). Adbrite pays you per click it’s ads get on your blog, also pays on CPM basis i.e. some $$/ every 1000 impressions their ads get.
Considering PPC ads for blogs Widget Bucks is a new ad network which requires you to show a nicely designed widget in sidebar of your blogs and earn up to $.75/clicks the links in this widget get from your blogs. Also they are giving $25 in free after you sign up and minimum payout is $50. So signup for a free account at widget bucks and straightly get $25, shows widget in your blog and make another $25 quickly and get paid.
There are many other PPC adnetworks floating around in internet and they all are not quite recommended for blogs.
3. Affiliate Marketing Get Paid For Action Yes many bloggers earn a great deal using this. Just sign up as affiliate for different products related to your blog’s content and get paid when your affiliate link makes your user buy that product i.e. he buys using your link and you get your commissions. Clickbank and Commission Junction are most preferred sites for affiliate programs and products giving commissions as they have huge market place. So have a free account at those sites. get your links for related products (search for it) and show in blog in sidebar or posts and get paid for action like signups, sale etc. Also adsense has it’s referral products like Adsense, Adwords others where you are paid to refer others to use these services free. Amazon.Com has a referral or affiliate program where you build a mini store with it’s products and get commissions for sales.
4. Showing Live Ebay Auctions In Blogs You may use Auction Ads that shows some related ebay auctions in your blog and when some one bids for that item in ebay using your links and wins it you get a nice commission but he needs to win that bid which may not be possible. You can read my review on Auction Ads to know if it works or not for blogs. Also here if you signup for free publisher account at auction ads you earn $25 free.
5. Showing CPM Ads In Blogs When you show CPM Banners in your page you get paid about $0.5 per 1000 pageviews/impressions to your blog. No need of clicks but never recommended as it makes your blog tidy. YieldManager is most preferred adnetwork in case of CPM. These ads are annoying and your visitors never like it.
6. Get Paid To Write Honest Reviews Or Posts Regarding Some Services/Products In Your Blog - This is the biggest money maker for any/every blogger in this blogging world. John Chow makes more than $10,000 per month writing paid reviews or sponsored blog posts in his blog. If you have a blog then you can earn huge money by writing posts regarding products/services of advertisers by saying nothing but your honest opinion or review on that product. You get more review offers and are paid more for each review if your blog has good Google Pagerank (PR 4 is good), Good Alexa Rank, Good Number Of Feed Subscribers. But for new blogs like us this is not easy as google updates pagerank only in quarterly. If you want to earn writing paid reviews in your blog you may sign up for free accounts at top review marketplaces sites like ReviewMe, PayPerPost, Smorty and many others and add your blogs to get them approved. In such sites that are meant for paid posts advertisers look to buy paid posts or reviews about their product from several blogs, so when you add your blogs the advertisers know about your blogs. ReviewMe advertisers usually pay more for reviews and smorty.com is good for new blogs out there as it does not have any rules like min blog age = 90 days like PayPerPost and ReviewMe have and page rank 0 blogs are accepted. Some advertisers just want some link backs in review and are suspected to pay for links only not honest review. You have all rights and control over reviews. You may watch my review on smorty.
7. Earn Selling Text Links In Blogs If you have a blog with good pagerank then many people would like to pay you monthly to have their links in your blog’s sidebar or other places. Either you have to sign up for text link advertisement market places or brokers like TLA and TNX.NET and LinkWorth and you need to pay them some commissions for every link sold in your site. A single link can fetch you $30-$100/month if you have pagerank 5 or above and links are quality and placed in perfect places. Using TNX.NET you can sell links in separate pages separately to different people and earn TNX points.
Either you join several advertisement programs to get advertisers show ads on your blog in any form or offer advertisements in your blog using the blog itself without any ad network. It solely depends on you. We would have detailed post on each of the above methods.'
