Make Money Blogging

Do you want to make money blogging? If you do – you’re not alone. More and more bloggers are finding that blogging is a profitable medium. Whether it be to earn a few extra dollars a week to feed their coffee habit, or making enough money to stop them having to get a part time job to get through college, or whether they’ve got it to a point where they are able to make a full time living from their blogging – there are tens of thousands of bloggers who make money blogging.

How to Make Money Blogging

In this page I want to share some information for beginners on how to make money blogging. For a very quick and broad visual intro – check out this Make Money Blogging MindMap which visualizes just SOME of the ways bloggers make money blogging.

Firstly – lets get our expectations right. Not everyone who tries to make money blogging becomes rich. In fact those who do well from blogging are in the minority. I’m sorry if this disappoints you – but I’m not here to hype this up or make any promises. It is possible to make money blogging – but it takes time and a lot of hard work – and it doesn’t happen for everyone!

For a picture of how realistic it is check out my post – Can You Really Make Money Blogging: 7 Things I know about Making Money from Blogging.

Secondly – let me start by sharing my own top Money Making Methods but below that point you to some great resources and teaching on how to increase your income from blogging.

What follows is a quick summary of my main income streams from blogging. Before you read it though – keep in mind that every blog is unique in how it can make money. Some of the following income streams will work on some blogs a lot better than others – the key is to experiment with as many as possible and see what works best for you.

The following income streams (from a number of blogs) have helped me to earn a six figure income each year for the last 5 years from blogging. I’ve ranked them from highest to lowest.

I hope you find it useful to see the mix and variety of ways that I earn a living from blogging.

1. AdSense

Despite not using it here any more (here’s why) I continue to use AdSense with amazing effect on my other blogs. I have them all set to show image and text based ads and find that 250×300 pixel ads work best (usually with a blended design). I don’t have much luck with their ‘referrals’ program but their normal ads work a treat and continue to be the biggest earner for me.

2. Affiliate Programs

I run a variety of affiliate programs on my blogs – most of which bring in smaller amounts of money that don’t really justify a category of their own (but which certainly add up).

These include recommending quality products like these here on here: Thesis WordPress theme, Yaro’s Blog Mastermind Coaching Program and How to Launch the F*** out of your E-Book (and others) as well as some great products on my photography blog including 123 of Digital Imaging, David DuChemin’s amazing Photography E-Books and Mitchell Kanashkevich’s great ebooks.

The great thing about many of these programs is that they are of such high quality that they sell themselves and I am being emailed from readers who sign up to them thanking me for the recommendation!

3. E-Book Sales

Last time I did a wrap up of how I make money blogging this category did not exist for me – I didn’t really have any of my own products to sell at all. However in the last year or so I’ve released 3 E-books – 31 Days to Build a Better Blog,The Essential Guide to Portrait Photography and Photo Nuts and Bolts: Know Your Camera and Take Better Photos. While these products all only sell for under $20 they certainly add up and some months this has been my biggest category of income. The reason they were only ranking at #3 in the last month was that I didn’t do a product launch (I wrote about one launch which brought in $72,000 in a week here). This is an income stream I see growing as I add more E-books to my range (expect 3 in the coming few months).

4. Continuity Programs

This is another newer category for me but one that continues to grow.

A continuity program is a site where you earn a recurring income from people who subscribe to a service you offer.

For me this includes two sites – EarnOnlineschool.com and Third Tribe Marketing. Both programs are membership sites and generate monthly income from the thousands of members that they have as a part of them.

5. Private Ad Sales/Sponsorships

Private ad sales directly to advertisers have fallen for me in the last year (they previously ranked #3 on this list). This is partly due to a change in my own focus but also partly due to the economy as it is. I should note that this area does vary a little from month to month depending upon the campaigns we’re asked to run – we’ve had a couple of months where it actually ranked #2 in the last year.

This includes ad sales of the 125 x 125 ads here  as well as a campaign or two at Digital Photography School.

6. Chitika

Chitka continues to be a great performer for me on my blogs. They traditionally have worked best on product related blogs although their Premium ad units now convert well on a larger range of blogs.

While I’ve focused a little less on Chitika in the last 6 months (mainly as I’ve released my own products and moved a little away from advertising) they do continue to perform well where I use them and over the time I’ve been using Chitika they’ve now earned me over a quarter of a million dollars – as a result I can’t recommend them enough!

7. Amazon Associates

Amazon’s affiliate program has been one of my big movers in the last 12 months. I used to make a few odd dollars from it – however in recent times it has become a significant earner for me (in fact it’s now earned me over $100,000 since I started using it). Christmas time (and the lead up to it) is a particularly good time for Amazon – last December it would have ranked #2 on this list.

9. Speaking Fees

I get asked to do a lot of speaking and increasingly they are paid opportunities. I’m not able to do as many as I would like (mainly because I live in Australia and most of what I’m asked to do is overseas and I only travel 2-3 times a year) – however in April I did a couple of events and the income was enough to include in this list.

Useful Resources for Bloggers Wanting to Make Money Blogging

A lot has been written on the topic of making money online from blogs. There is a lot of wonderful information out there – but also a lot of hype and sometimes dangerous information.

Below are a number of articles that I’ve written exploring some of the different ways that bloggers make money.

What is Affiliate Marketing

It seems that more readers are asking this question than I previously thought.

In a recent poll I asked readers whether they’d done any affiliate marketing on their blogs. The results revealed that:

• 29% of readers regularly do it
• 24% occasionally do it
• 27% have never done affiliate marketing on their blogs
• 6% used to do it but don’t any more
• 14% don’t know what affiliate marketing is

There’s some interesting results there but it was the last category (of bloggers not knowing what affiliate marketing is) that I wanted to write this post for with the hope of answering the question. It’s pretty basic and quite beginner focused but for the 14% of you who don’t know what affiliate marketing is – here’s a brief introduction.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Perhaps the simplest way to explain affiliate marketing is that it is a way of making money online whereby you as a publisher are rewarded for helping a business by promoting their product, service or site.

There are a number of forms of these types of promotions but in most cases they involve you as a publisher earning a commission when someone follows a link on your blog to another site where they then buy something.

Other variations on this are where you earn an amount for referring a visitor who takes some kind of action – for example when they sign up for something and give an email address, where they complete a survey, where they leave a name and address etc.

Commissions are often a percentage of a sale but can also be a fixed amount per conversion.

Conversions are generally tracked when the publisher (you) uses a link with a code only being used by you embedded into it that enables the advertiser to track where conversions come from (usually by cookies). Other times an advertiser might give a publisher a ‘coupon code’ for their readers to use that helps to track conversions.

• Advertisers often prefer affiliate marketing as a way to promote their products because they know they’ll only need to pay for the advertising when there’s a conversion. I knew when I started this affiliate program that while I’d earn less for each sale that having a network of affiliates promoting it would almost certainly increase overall sales levels.
• Publishers often prefer affiliate marketing because if they find a product that is relevant to their niche that earnings can go well in excess of any cost per click or cost per impression advertising campaign.

Why Affiliate Marketing Can Work Well on Blogs

Affiliate marketing isn’t the only way to make money from blogs and it won’t suit every blog/blogger (more on this below) but there are a few reasons why it can be profitable in our medium. Perhaps the biggest of these reasons is that affiliate marketing seems to work best when there’s a relationship with trust between the publisher and their readership.

I’ve found that as this trust deepens that readers are more likely to follow the recommendations that a blogger makes.

Of course this can also be a negative with affiliate marketing – promote the wrong product and trust can be broken (more on this below).

Affiliate Marketing – Easy Money?

While affiliate marketing can be incredibly lucrative it is important to know that affiliate marketing is not easy money. Most people who try it make very little as it relies upon numerous factors including:

• traffic (high traffic helps a lot)
• finding relevant products
• finding quality products
• building trust with your readers
• having a readership who is in a ‘buying mood’
• you being able to write good sales copy (and more)

There’s also some risk associated with affiliate marketing in that if you push too hard or promote products of a low quality you can actually burn readers and hurt your reputation and brand.

It’s also worth noting that affiliate marketing doesn’t work on all blogs. Some blogs are on topics where it is hard to find products to promote – other blogs attract audiences who are not in a buying frame of mind and for other blogs it just doesn’t fit with the blogger’s style or approach.

Tomorrow I want to continue the focus upon affiliate marketing with another post – this one on how to find affiliate products to promote.

Do You Have the Winning Mindset to Earn Money Online Successfully

Many have asked me what the key to earning money online successfully is. This is not an easy question to answer in terms of what you can do to earn money online. There are a thousand and one ways to earn money online successfully but are they really the keys to success? Unfortunately, the methods to earn money online are less significant than the mindset behind it.

What really differentiates the winning online marketers from the losing is very much not what they do but what drives them in their actions. Anyone can try and experiment with a myriad of ways to earn money online but ultimately without a winning mindset, they will never succeed.

Then what are the qualities of a winning mindset to earn money online successfully? Well, the following are considered the key pillars of a winning mindset.

1. Desire.

The fuel to succeed online is pretty much fired by what you want to gain in the end. What do you want to achieve in the end? Is it financial freedom? Or do you to want to have more time to spend with your family? Maybe you don't want to be very rich; you just want to earn a little extra income to lift the financial burden of the family. Or maybe you hate your job and you hate your boss and you hope to one day "fire" him and be your own

boss. Whatever the reason may be, you must have a strong desire to earn money online successfully, because this is what determines your motivation and is the main source of your strength. So know what you want to achieve in the end and let this be the fuel of your success.

2. Focus

There are truckloads of ways to earn money online. You can be an affiliate marketer and sell other people's products. You can join an online MLM business opportunity and build your income from there. You can even offer your own services or products to others for a price. But whichever method you choose, it all comes down to focusing your efforts.

From the moment you step into the world of earning money online, you expose yourself to a myriad of business opportunities. They come fast and hard and they never seem to stop. Every day, there can be a new business opportunity to earn money online that seems like the "next big thing". And you will be tempted to "jump in before it is too late". But the sad truth is, business opportunities will never run out, but the amount of time we have will. Each of us only has 24 hours a day and we can only do so much. What you need to earn money online successfully is not to jump in on the "next big thing" but to focus on "this big thing". You do not need so many "big things", you only need one. So focus your efforts on what you set your sight on and give it your best. You will not regret it.

3. Patience

Many people who first begin to try to earn money online believe that they can do it fast and easy. They think that if they try something that promises them that they will earn money online successfully, they can do it in a few days to a few weeks. And if they do not succeed, the method is wrong and they give up. Sadly, this is not how it works. It is true that there are plenty of scams out there that only want to cheat you of your hard-earned cash. However, most of the time, the reason for failure is simply the lack of patience. Gathering knowledge and applying it is a necessity to earn money online. All these take time and nothing comes without it. Be patient with what you believe in and your efforts will be rewarded.

4. Willingness to take massive action and commit consistently
Finally, armed with a flaming desire to succeed, laser targeted focus on your objective and a rock-solid patience to carry it to the end, you still need the last crucial ingredient to success. You need to take HUGE MASSIVE action and be willing to commit consistently. Your mindset alone cannot win the battle for you. You must be willing to put in your biggest effort to make it a success and commit to doing it consistently, because only with MASSIVE action can you achieve MASSIVE results.

Now, take some time to review what you have done up till now. Do you have a burning desire to succeed? Have you been focusing your efforts and resisting the temptation to join whatever new opportunity that comes along? Have you been patient enough to continue what you are doing and promise yourself never to give up? And finally, are you taking MASSIVE action to turn your dream into a reality? If your answer is a resounding "YES", then there is no doubt that you will be able to earn money online successfully.

Make Money Online

People who are finding ways to earn additional income can do so by using the Internet.  There are two general ways to earn money online.  Both processes may yield for the user considerable amounts of money needed to pay off bills or buy products.

First, a person can choose to put up his or her own website to sell products or advertise goods.  This would, of course, require that the person be equipped with technical skills needed to design and maintain the website.  Alternatively, the services of small website developers can also be used.  Understandably, this approach to making money online requires a certain amount of capital.

<<<<Get Your Product Here>>>>

On the other hand, if capital is not readily available, people can also choose to use their knowledge and experience to earn money online.  They can refer qualified people to online job-hunting agencies that pay commissions for applicants that eventually get hired.  Such commissions may range from a hundred dollars to as much as five thousand dollars.  They can also refer buyers to suppliers.  Closed supplier deals are also awarded with certain cash incentives.

For people who know how to write, they can also choose to become a semi-pro reporter.  There are websites that pay people to write on a variety of topics such as parenting, banking, and automobiles. They will be paid based on the number of times their articles are viewed. The typical pay is ten dollars per 1,000 views.

People can also utilize blogging software to earn money online. Unlike websites, blogs do not require capital.  They can easily be set up in minutes. Once done, the owner can post products to sell or advertise other people's products.  However, blog owners should be creative enough to think of an interesting blog topic. This would help ensure that more people will visit the site.

There are still several other ways to earn money online.  People can utilize the Internet to earn money in whatever way they prefer, but ultimately, their success will still depend on their diligence and commitment.

How to Earn or Make Money Online

A little over two years ago I began to look for alternative ways to earn money. This being the age of the internet I of course began my search online. One of the first things I noticed is that there were all sorts of web sites and ads telling me how to earn or make money online. Everything from filling out surveys online, to MLM, to creating websites that earn money. The possibilities were overwhelming and endless.

So how did I come to a conclusion about what I wanted to do? I did some research about the different money making routes available and I finally decided on doing Affiliate Marketing using Google Adwords. The reason I decided on this path was I came across a downloadable e-book called Google Cash by Chris Carpenter. At the time there was an excerpt available that explained how AdWords worked and how I could make money using it.

I went ahead and bought Google Cash and my quest to earn and make money online had begun. The first 3 to 4 months I lost some money but after that I slowly began to see daily and then monthly profits. In 2011 I profited a little over $23,000 and my return on investment (ROI) was just over 100%. That means that for every dollar I spent I made two dollars in return. Not a bad addition to my income from my full time job.

That brings me to today and my quest to earn a living online continues.

I have found that there are a few good resources out there to help anyone interested in earning money online. The online business environment is constantly changing and while you can still make money it is hard to keep track of all the changes.

I have found two extremely valuable resources that I highly recommend. Both are from a two man team who has created one of the best affiliate membership sites on the internet today.

o Beating AdWords - an up to date e-book that gives step by step instructions and examples on how to successfully set up a Google AdWords campaign.

o Wealthy Affiliate - The membership site for Beating AdWords that includes even more information including keyword lists, case studies and a user forum that can't be beat.

The two guys in question are Carson and Kyle. They are successful affiliate marketers who have taken it upon themselves to help anyone who becomes a member of their Wealthy Affiliate membership site. And by help I mean they will personally coach any member that asks for it.

You will also get invaluable advice from other members who are more than willing to help in the Wealthy Affiliate user forum. These are all people who have succeeded at or are continuing to learn how to earn or make money online.

I joined Wealthy Affiliate back in October of 2011 and bought Beating AdWords soon after that. Since that time using the methods I learned in the e-book and on the Wealthy Affiliate membership site and forum my ROI has increased to the tune of nearly 200%.

If you want to know how to earn or make money online then you can't go wrong with Beating AdWords or a membership to Wealthy Affiliate. Your success with their help will only be limited by how much work and effort you put into these programs.

Easy To Make Money Online - The Myth About How To Make Easy Money Online

When people new to the internet think others are making easy money online, they naturally want to make the same kind of easy money too.

When people who have lost lots of money chasing the easy money dream online, still continue to lose money still chasing the easy online money dream, then somebody needs to grab them by the shoulders and shout at the top of their voice... "STOP!"


That's what I'm hoping to do with this article.

So if you fit into any of the above 2 categories...

"STOP!"

The simple fact is, there is NO easy way to make money online.

Some methods are easier than others, but none is easy.

They all require vital ingredients, namely work, work, and more work.

Throw in persistence, perseverance, and elements of inspiration, and you are getting closer to the real chance of making money online.

Shame is...

People just don't want to hear that, do they?

So what do they do?

Look for the next person promising them the "easy to make money online" dream.

Now don't get me wrong, once you have put in the hard work, and put it in consistently over a period of time, it becomes increasingly easier to make money online.

But hard work is what it takes.

And lot's of it.

Now I can make this generalization, risk-free.

Because it doesn't matter what kind of product or service you are offering online, you won't make a LIVING online easily, until you put in the hours of hard work over weeks, months, and sometimes years to get you to a comfortable and consistent level of earning.

However try telling people that.

At a deep-root level, I guess most of us know this to be a fact.

Why do we still continue to believe then that there is an easy fix?

Here's the news...

There isn't.

Really... There isn't.

Sorry to disappoint but wouldn't you rather, for once in your lifetime have someone tell you the truth, rather than sell you the next easy to make money online dream?

Now I sell resale rights products.

And I can make thousands of dollars from a single email sent out to my subscribers.

Most people will say, "Yeah, that's the kind of easy money I want to make!"

And here is the reality...

It's taken me hours upon hours, days upon days, weeks upon weeks, months upon months and years of work, day and night to get to a stage where I can start to enjoy some kind of reward for my efforts.

Guess what...

The effort doesn't stop.

Just as much time goes in now, sometimes even more than when I first started out.

Except now it's a lot more fun and a lot more rewarding.

I am creating a website dedicated to teaching people how to make money online with resale rights. [Click Here]

And hard work, persistence and motivation is required every step of the way for those that will benefit from the advice on the website.

I might add, that the website is free, as is all of the information I will be putting on it.

But the fact remains, that you can teach a man to fish, but he still has to go out and do the fishing.

You can't stand there and fish for him.

And to catch the fish is going to take time, effort, and the next day he will have to repeat it all over again if he wants to keep feeding himself and his family.

If you are looking for ways to make easy money online, and aren't prepared to put the consistent hard work and effort in to create a profitable online business then take my advice.

Stop before you even start.

You'll save yourself a lot of money if you do.

On the other hand, if you are prepared to put in the hours, put in the work and stick to ONE THING without getting side-tracked and distracted by the next easy money making scheme that crosses your path, then you, almost by necessity will start to see the rewards for your efforts.

How you decide to make the money online is irrelevant.

If something is making money for lots of other people online, it will for you too
but only with dedication, hard work and effort.

So the bottom line is this.

How hard are you prepared to work to earn easy money online?

Because without hard work, to make easy money online is a myth.

Earn Money Online - The 9 Essential Steps to Make Money Online

There is a very precise and simple formula that enables you to earn money online. The most successful Internet Marketing gurus are essentially using this formula, or variations of it, to earn money online. This article lays out the 9 essential steps to going from zero to regular cash flow, online.

The 9 steps to help you earn money online are: 1. Identify your niche 2. Select your product(s) 3. Establish a presence online 4. Build your audience 5. Create insane (free) value 6. Enable a landing page to capture leads 7. Nurture your leads via email drip campaigns 8. Offer your product(s) to this now trusting, pre-sold audience 9. Create your own product, and sell it to your niche

1. Pick your niche (brainstorm it is a good tool)  "A Mediocre Message To A Great Audience Will Always Do Better Than A Great Message To A Mediocre Audience!" - Ann_sieg  Of the utmost importance when designing a plan to earn money online, is picking your audience. While this step is easy to gloss over, it is the most important step. Why? Because if you go too broad, and you will find it impossibly competitive. And extremely difficult to establish compelling value for such a large group . The ability to hone in on a narrow but profitable niche is really where your ability to earn money online is measured.

You want a group that you are familiar with, that is on fire with a particular problem. And needs relief. Please - resist the temptation of thinking you can use your judgment or instinct to pick a niche. We're all too biased to make such a selection. Remember - the world doesn't share your (or my) opinions. Instead, use a scientific tool to show you what keywords are being searched on frequently in Google... but with sparse results for those searches. While there are many tools available, I recommend SiteSell's Brainstorm It Imagine going into the restaurant business.

It's always been your passion to own a restaurant. But you want to make massive profits - so you target the broadest audience possible. You'll end up offering mediocre food, with the widest variety. But people will continue to flock to various specialists. Rather than come to your "one-size-fits-all" buffet.

Not the best place to be. Spend some time. Find the intersection of your interests, your strengths, and identified profitable niches. Do this, and you'll be ahead of 80% of people attempting to earn money online.

2. Pick your product (affiliate products best) Most entrepreneurially-minded people want to do it all. They love building the product, in particular. Resist this urge! To earn money online, you should first start by selling other people's stuff! This will let you earn money online much more quickly. Once you have a marketing system, a web site, and all the other pieces of your money-earning up-and-running... and you've learned what pitfalls to avoid, you can go back and design your product. But in the meantime, take advantage of affiliate marketing via ClickBank, Commission Junction, and thousands of other resources for affiliate programs. You'll basically earn commissions for recommending and selling other people's stuff. Your niche selection will drive what product(s) you select.

3. Establish a presence online (blog or web site) Earning money online requires that you have an "office front" of sorts. Simply having landing pages to sell your products won't cut it. This is almost like hanging a hand-written "Want to earn money online? Call now!" sign on a telephone pole. Having a presence online allows people to see that you're a real person. Offering real value - and not just trying to make a fast buck off of people. Many people looking to earn money online will ask: "Blog vs web site"? You can set up a blog within minutes, at no cost. This is a great way to get up-and-going.

For a long-term efforts to make money online, however, I advise you to establish a web site. And blogs are best for news-oriented sites, with time-sensitive information. They are organized by date. But a content-themed web site is organized by subject, and is more timeless. Blogs are not particularly profitable for most small businesses.

"Blogs usually have high Bounce Rates no matter what since normal visitor behavior is to read the newest post and then leave." - Google team, April 2008.

4. Build your target audience Now that you know your targeted niche, you'll want to create your own tribe, your own mailing list. This can be done by opting people in to your mailing list, establishing an online forum, etc. You're essentially enabling a two-way conversation. The individuals that join your mailing list, or on-line community, are much more qualified than those just browsing your web site. You have the ability develop the relationship with this audience. And this is how you will earn money online.

5. Create value for that audience Particularly because you're selling affiliate products - products being offered by other entrepreneurs too - you'll want to pre-sell your products. Build value, and establish trust, by giving away lots of original, free, valuable content. This free content will also get you noticed by search engines like Google. And attract individuals searching for the particular keywords that you're writing about. If each of your web pages is optimized for a single keyword, you'll end up getting the lion's share of your leads from this content!

6. Create a landing page to capture leads You'll want a landing page to capture your leads. Aweber and Oprius are great tools to help you manage lead capture forms, and opting-in to your mailing list.

7. Build the relationship with those leads via automated emails The ability create drip campaigns, or automated email nurturing campaigns, is the key secret to help you earn money online. Imagine being able to have a series of conversations with every single lead you get... in the same order, at the same intervals from their subscription date? This is powerful.

8. Sell products through those automated emails These same drip campaigns, in addition to providing more free content, will feature your affiliate products. Because you would have already established a trusted reputation with your tribe / community / audience... they'll be quite receptive to your recommendations of tools that could help them achieve their goals.

9. Create your own product, and sell to your niche Over time, and after you've perfected the previous steps, you'll have ample time and opportunity to design your own product. With all the other essential foundational pieces in place, you'll be perfectly positioned to earn money online. Much more money than you did from selling affiliate products.
