How To Make Money Online Blogging

Thinking About Making A Little Money Online 

From Your Blog? (Monetize Your Blog)

Think about some of the products and tools you use yourself  in your niche. If they are successful recommend them with your affiliate link for that product/tool so you will earn commissions from them. A resources page is great for shedding some light on exactly what you use. That seems to be the first thing everyone wants to know, what you are using that is making you money. Your audience will more than likely try it if it works.

Affiliate programs for your products may have ads you can place you your blog/website you use to can earn commissions as well. Also, Google has a program called Adsence that will pay you when ads they place on your page are clicked. There are other programs like this as well. This only works if you have good traffic. If you don't have

much traffic I would consider working on that first. Traffic = Money. No Traffic= No Money.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) will play a major role in blogging to make money online. Setting Up your page for search engines will allow those who search for specific keywords to find your blog/website. The SEO Periodic table will help guide you when it comes to applying SEO to your blog/website.

Can You Really Make Money Online?

 The highly most asked question is can you really make an income online? The answer to that question is yes. It is not something where you just click a button and poof, you instantly start making money or become a millionaire. There is time and money invested. You can get started for free but I must warn you, the things you will be using that are free are 99% of the time are of poor quality. Sad but true. So it is your choice to use them or not but take into consideration it could cause you to lose out on sales due to poor quality.

How Can You Make Money Online?

There are several ways to make money online but really it takes all of them to make what is called "Your System" or "sales funnel". For example, say you have this product and you want to promote it. Like most internet marketers do, there is a whole process to this. And whats so special is all you have to do most of the time once you figure it out is to rinse and repeat it!.

Is This For You?

It depends. If you want to see a million dollars in your bank account next week then my answer is no. This is not for you. If you are willing to work on setting up your financial freedom goal by helping others reach their goal then yes. This might be for you after all. I can't say this is the hardest thing I have ever done. But I can't say its the easiest either.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

1. Affiliate Marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate's own marketing efforts. The industry has four core players: the merchant, the network, the publisher, and the customer.

-Summing it up: you promote a product/s and receive a commission when a sale is made and is referred by you.

Where do I find a product/s?

To find a product you can do a search. For example, you could do a search on hosting and when you find a host then you would obtain an affiliate link. If you look at the bottom of the page you should see affiliates. That means us. Once you click that you will then be able to use your special affiliate link. This link is special because it tells the company who they need to pay for the commission. Without that link you don't make a penny! So be sure to use your link.

- Clickbank
- Commission Junction
- Shareasale   << Favorite by the way. I definitely recommend this one!

How Do I get Paid?

The company you are promoting for will send you a check or direct deposit into your bank account. Whichever you chose. Some have Paypal and some will only do Paypal! Some pay twice a month and some pay only once. You can view your account info once you register to see how often and when that company pays.


How To Promote Products

You can use social media like Facebook and Twitter. If you don't have either of these you can register for them and start building your traffic aka friends lists. You can do a review about a product on your blog/website. You can even use Youtube and submit a video (which works like magic). Classifieds don't send traffic as fast as you may like but it does work. My favorite way to drive traffic are solo ads. Solo ads are when you pay someone to send a email with your link to their own personal email lists. They also guarantee a certain amount of clicks on your link. I believe this is one of the fastest ways to get some clicks and maybe even a few sales.

Email Marketing_Turning an email into income

What Is Email Marketing?

Email Marketing is directly marketing a commercial message to a group of people using email.
Connecting with your audience is an essential key to turning emails into income . With good quality content and knowledge, you can build credibility and a relationship with your audience.

• Giving away FREE software, videos, or tips  is an easy way of building your email marketing list. Having a landing page is best for this.

• A landing page is a page that has an offer for visitors with an email form from your autoresponder. All they have to do to receive the offer is enter their email address. Their email address then goes into your list of emails for that campaign which is set up by an autoresponder. 

• Auto-responders are programs that automatically generates a set response to all messages sent to a certain email address. This allows you to send an email marketing your products or articles to your whole mailing list. Plus, you can set when you want the email to go out. which makes things so much easier as well as helps making money on auto-pilot. I recommend using an autoresponder that can make landing pages. Its like getting a two for one special.

• The autoresponder I use is from GVO . It's a host but comes with a free autoresponder, website generator, and more.

• Mailing list companies offer a huge leads database with email addresses within your niche. This is useful when wanting to build your list for you aut responder quickly.

Be sure to track your mailing lists with programs like analytics or other services. Keeping up with your mailing list lets you know how many clicks are generated and how many read their emails. This way you can make adjustments or modify if you need to so you can generate more sales.
