Make Money Blogging the Right Way
Make money blogging is not as hard as you might have imagined. Thanks to easy to use CMS like Wordpress, Drupal, Typepad, Live Journal, etc, you can start a blog of your own in a very short time. You can also choose from a vast variety of free themes and plugins to make your blog fancy and capable of multi functions.
Write a couple of posts or using other blogger’s posts, and placing ads or promote affiliate programs on your blogs are easy to implement. Just apply an Adsense or Yahoo Publisher Network account, join a couple of affiliate programs, copy and paste the code at your desired places through the theme editing interface and you are done.
The next step will be bringing visitors to your blog, and lots of it! You can receive backlinks through lots of techniques like posting comments on other peoples’ blog posts, add your link in forum signatures, or even buy backlinks from high Page Rank websites or blogs. Now lay back and wait for traffic and sales.
Not much? Only 1 dollar each day from your blog? “I can make one hundred blogs like this so I’ll make one hundred dollar every day”, you may think. Yes, you can repeat the above process 100 times but you will not make that $100 per day.
Because the search engines, as well as human visitors, don’t like spammy blogs like these. They will soon be de-indexed if they got indexed at all. Traffic is never sustainable for blogs using other people’s posts because of Google’s duplicate content penalty.
Write your own posts, provide quality information, let your readers know your own experience on certain topics, and only concentrate on one, two, or maximum 3 blogs. That way you will make that $100 every day and enjoy yourself at the same time. In order to make money from blogs, you must provide helpful information first. Believe me, it’s much easier to make money blogging from one or two quality blogs than from a hundred spammy blogs!
