How To Make Money By Blogging

First let's dispel the myth. No. You cannot make your fortune overnight in your pyjamas simply by running a blog. However now for the truth, yes you can make money by blogging, if you work hard enough it is possible to create a second income. But like so much in life it takes time, perseverance and a lot of dedication.

I'll show you how.

First create a list of all your interests, hobbies and specialised knowledge that you may profess to know something about. Try to make that list as long as you can. Put it aside for 24 hours, adding to it as you remember anything else you are passionate about. The following day return to the list and ask yourself honestly. Could you write a piece about that subject everyday for say a month? If there is anything on the list that you doubt delete it.

Now think again, a month okay that's 30 postings to your blog, but you will have to sustain that blog for ‘infinity and beyond'. How does that alter your list?

We are talking here about you earning a substantial income, once set up a blog should only take you about 15 minutes a day. That's 4 in an hour. If you can give 2/3 hours a day to blogging and you can maintain several subjects. There is no reason why you cannot run 10-12 blogs a day to start with.

The secret to writing a successful blog is to keep it simple, lively, use everyday language. Make it personal; let your viewers feel they are getting to know you and they will return every day. A blog to both writer and reader should be addictive with both eager to catch the next instalment.

The first stage to earning any kind of revenue from your blog is to place ads on all of your blogs. You will get paid for every click your viewers make. Then as your readers come to trust you, it will be time to introduce some sales recommendations. Search for suitable affiliate programs to benefit your blog content. If you have matched your products to your target audience, sales should follow. Over the course of one week you will be gaining pay per click revenue and at least a couple of healthy affiliate commissions, now multiply this by 10 or 12 blogs and you should start very soon to see a definite income.

The one ingredient you need is traffic, the more readers you have, the more revenue you will gain. Promote your blogs, publish articles and visit forums, each time placing a link back to your sites.

As your blogs grow you can reduce the input to 2-3 times a week, meanwhile your experience will have taught you which topics are particular favourites and generate the maximum amount of revenue. This is when you start to introduce new blogs and the process begins again. Top bloggers today maintain upwards of 30-40 blogs at one time.

I think you will see from the above that yes with a little hard work on your part it is possible to realise that you can make blogging a full time career.

8 Key Ways to Advertising Online

Advertising online can take many different forms. Every day people see online advertising and respond to it. Here are 8 key ways to making it work for you.

Key 1: Your Website
Your own website is often the best advertising you can have. If you have a friendly site with a reasonably priced product, people will tell their friends.

Key 2: Website Content
Optimize your website content for the search engines. This is a great way to end up at the top of the rankings for free.

Key 3: PPC Ads
Pay Per Click is becoming one of the hottest forms of advertising online today. See if you can afford the major players first--Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Then check the many second level providers.

Key 4: Use MySpace
MySpace is a great medium for advertising online. Just create your home page, use your logo for your default pic, and then post other pics and product descriptions.

Key 5: Banner Ads
Because these are so visually invasive, people have become desensitized to them. Avoid them--they just don’t work well anymore.

Key 6: Avoid Flash and Splash
Bright colors and flashing ads are also eyesores. Most people click away from them as quickly as possible.

Key 7: Try Blogging
Many blog sites allow people to plug their web businesses. Post frequently and regularly, and offer advice and help to others so they will want to buy from you.

Key 8: Squidoo
Get a lens at Squidoo and develop it so that it also acts like advertising online. Always remember to follow the rules of each website where you post.

Want Lightening Fast SEO Results? Build A Blog

Blogging gives you products and services personality.
People like to do business with people they like. By blogging you show your target market that there is a real person behind the company or product you represent. By reading you blog posts they get an idea of what you're all about - warts and all. The personal aspect of blogging is one of it's most powerful characteristics.

Blogging is entertaining.
Yes, blogging can be great fun. Just open you posting window and go for it without the restrictions of corporate style guides and other impediments to creativity. Got something to say? Just say it. The other fun aspect of blogging is that people can post comments about your blog posts. You posts plus reader comments all become valuable food for the search engines.

Blogging encourages community.
Bloggers love to talk online to other bloggers. If you join blogging communities and make a worthwhile contribution you will see your traffic skyrocket. It's all about content - fast, useful and entertaining content that people enjoy reading.

Driving traffic to blogs is easy
You've probably heard about social bookmarking sites like digg.com and reddit.com ? A large proportion of submissions to these sites are blog entries. Want to promote you product? Write an honest review of your product on your blog then submit that blog entry to a social bookmarking site and see what happens.

Blogging is inexpensive.
The most powerful blogging systems are free. Wordpress is one of the blogging standards and now comes bundled with many cheap web hosting packages. For less than $100 per year anyone can get their own domain with blogging included.

I wouldn't use one of the free blogging services unless you are really desperate. You can't be sure if they will always remain free and your posts will be building up someone else' asset rather than your own.

It's fast and easy.
If you can use Microsoft Notepad you can blog. The user interface is very intuitive and allows you to add and edit, text, pictures, videos, whatever you want. Want to change the look and layout of your blog? There's literally hundreds of themes available that take less than a minute to upload and install.

Your blog site becomes another Internet asset. Some blog sites get thousands and thousands of readers each day. This traffic can be converted to hard, cold cash through Google Ad sense advertising, affiliate programs and straight advertising space sale. Some people make hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, from providing excellent content through their blogs. Once you blog increases it's Google PageRank, you also get the benefit of linking out from your blog site to other web sites you want to promote.

Search engines love blogs, I mean really love them.
It is said in many SEO forums that Google staff are great bloggers and subsequently Google spiders and indexes blogs more frequently that normal web sites. This may just be a rumour, but I have found it to be true in my case. If you blog every day there's a good chance Google and the other major search engines will spider your blog every day looking for that new content. I have seen blog postings get spidered and indexed and ranking well in as little as 30 minutes. It seems the blog RSS feeds go straight into the search engines' data centres. Go to Google and do a search on Blue Nike Sneakers and you will see what I mean.

Agloco -- How Much Will You Really Make?

How Much Will You REALLY Make?

Okay this is a very good question for prospective Agloco'ers. Well if you read the last post of mine you would have stumbled upon some writings on the AllAdvantage company. As mentioned previously the AllAdvantage company was very successful at first, however towards the 2000's when the dot com spenders diminished the companies finances followed. Another reason for the poor financial outcome of AllAdvantage was because of the amount of money that went back to the users of AllAdvantage. A reported 120 million of the 200 million raised was given paid to the members of AllAdvantage.

Okay so the point of mentioning the AllAdvantage company was to show what the same founders of Agloco are going to do different. Instead of paying in cash, and running they're company into the ground, this time Agloco has decided to issue SHARES. Yes that is right instead of money we will be issued shares in the Agloco company. So when Agloco says that their company is member owned they are not kidding.

Now, here is the thing many people are missing. The shares we earn (based on the number of hours of Viewbar time we have X the number of direct and indirect refs) will not be worth anything until the Agloco company goes public. Or until the Agloco company makes its ways on the stock exchange.

HOW MUCH WE MAKE DEPENDS ON THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING.

I am going to conservatively guess, that Agloco, when initially open for trade will not be less than $.50 per share. (Please any Tech minded traders out there give me your opinion) I will also wager a guess, that Agloco is not going to bust out an IPO like say $400 per share. Say lets stay conservative and realistic and use the stock price of $0.50, now my Agloco friends do not be phased.

Agloco has an earnings calculator on their website. Many people are getting confused and excited when they use this calculator. They type in relatively conservative numbers like:

Direct Referrals : 10 Avg Number of referral EACH of your referrals will get: 15 Nmbr . Hrs. Viewbar time: 5hrs (each)

Then they hit calculate and this is the number they get: 678017.5

WHAT THE F***?!

Yeah, ladies and gentlemen this is not a DOLLAR amount, nor a YEN amount this is how many shares you will earn! (per month given all values stay the same every month...which they wont because you can A. Gain more referrals, B. peoples hours will differ)

Okay, so I hope I didn't burst your hope bubble. Remember that conservative $0.50 opening price? Well if you own 678017.5 shares, times that by the stock price and by golly THAT IS HOW MUCH YOU HAVE EARNED!

Which in this case is $339008.75 in a month... okay I myself have started thinking... that is still ALOT OF MONEY. Okay maybe I am not being conservative enough in my guesses.

Lets try again:

Direct Referrals : 5 Avg Number of referral EACH of your referrals will get: 2 Nmbr . Hrs. Viewbar time: 4hrs avg(each)

Hit calculate and this is what you get: 159

Times this by the $0.50 share price and you will earn $79.5 a month avg.

I would say I am VERY HAPPY WITH THE FIRST RESULT...but...I am very happy with the second result as well. I would say investing a total of $0 in a company and receiving an average $79.5 dollars in return is PRETT DAMN GOOD.

So as you can see the more referrals you get the more hours you will get, and that translates into more stock shares, and thus MORE MONEY.

So this is a lesson, if you want to make the big ones with Agloco you have to build a good network. Although no one should be complaining, no matter what they make from Agloco, because it is so easy!

And so this concludes my interpretation of the potential earnings of Agloco.

PLEASE NOTE: I have no idea what the opening stock price will be. All my calculations were based on conservative values for demonstration purposes.

If there are any stock experts out their who have knowledge on the dot com industry, please comment and give us your opinion
