One Blogger's Money-Making Secrets

Back to blog

It's interesting to learn just how the whole blogging system works.

And yes there is a system involved everything from getting ideas to adding relevant content to promoting the blog itself.

One of the best ways to promote is derived from the use of appropriate key words.

Also many times bloggers make the mistake in using way to many links in a blog or other possibly annoying technologies such as the hover over link that opens up those annoying ads when its used excessively like every few words is a link.

Knowing when to call it quites on a blog post is the best form of advice.

The whole numbers things are the results of page number counts = veiws adds to more advertisers = more revenue for the site owners.

And of course the site owners want good to great quality subjects that are easy for the common readers to understand and follow in which in the end sparks alot of interest.

And let's not forget that visitors whom read the blogs if they enjoy it may bookmark the site and or post a link in other blogs and forums resulting in more page veiws and revenues.

I know I'm starting to sound like a blog poster myself instead of a simply reply post,but I like to help others as much as possible.

Take Google.com recently started adding partners on their sister site Youtube.com to video posters in which makes ads available to a veiwer and in return the video poster receives a portion of ad revenues generated from their video post.

So it's much like blogging except if you love to do video interactions then you can reach a very large audience.

Remember however you have to do things right first to start getting alot of video veiws keep them interested and you can be well on your way to making some extra income from a site hosting all of your videos and it doesn't cost you a thing other than some time even the bandwidth is paid for by Google.

Hi Kimberly,

It is so unselfish of you to share this money-making secret with the world.

I am my own small business. The whole internet website (webstore business)is relatively new to me. My webmaster keeps talking about blogging and finding the appropriate places to blog. I am seemingly getting the hang of it to some degree but along way from where you have gone.

Kimberly, in terms of climbing the Google ladder, roughly how many blogs a day should I be doing in order to get fairly good results?

Kimberly if you could send me a personal email, it would be kindly appreciated - if you can get the time.

Thanks and Regards,

John

Thanks for the great post, Kimberly!

I'm pretty new to blogging, but I'm diving in like Michael Phelps. I recently started my own blog http://aphotoassistant.com and have been learning as much as I can about it all. It's great to know where one might look for outside sources for blogging jobs, but can anyone suggest the best way to gain experience in the actual blog writing process? English was never a strong subject, yet I have felt a call to writing for a few years now. Perhaps this blogging stuff will be my ticket.

In addition to blogging for other site owners and companies, established websites hire writers to provide regular website content in the form of articles.

There are many people who make their entire living writing online- from blogging to articles to ebooks, myself included.

Thanks mom and grandpa, for leaving your thoughts. I certainly feel blessed for the opportunities that I have, and without encouragement from family, and support, I know I wouldn't have had all of the great experiences and options that I have now.

Also, good luck to Single Mom. You can use your experience with one company to show others how great you would be with them!

Blogging seems to be the new "best job" for someone who wants to work from home. It could definately have it's advantages. I must admit it seems like it would be better than some of the jobs I did when my children were at home (babysitting, teaching piano, newspaper route). It sounds like it pays more!

Thanks so much for chiming in, Dale. They must have taught you well if you are leaving comments on other people's blogs!

As a 76 year old great grandfather who grew up during the thirties and forties when jobs were manual labor and advertising was a billboard on the side of the highway, the concept of bloging is dificult for me to get my arms around. However, as my grandchildren have gradually brought me into world of personal comunication by way of the electronic media in an instant it makes sense that buisneses (and politicians)must be able to utilize this media to remain competetive in this new world. Blogers provide an avenue for them to do this.

I think a lot of people are looking for more sources of income right now!
