Blogs – Why Have One

There are two main blog types.

One is Blogger run by Google(TM). This is hosted by Google, so no uploading needed. And it has the basics of what you need. But it is restricted in what you can do with it. Wordpress is much more flexible, with a mass of possible plug-ins. This is generally seen as the standard to go for, although people do run good sites with Blogger.

You have to investigate and take your choice.

Why have a blog? Can you make any money with it?

1 A blog gives you speed, responsiveness, and the more personal connection. It’s useful to have alongside your main sites, so you can put up short posts, extra information, and get feedback. It also gets indexed very quickly with Google and the traffic the blog gets is generalised to your main site.

2 Blogs are flexible. You can change your blog in different ways. There are themes to change its appearance. Plugins allow  you to add a whole range of functions, too, such as search engine optimization or posting to Twitter(TM) automatically.

3 But it can also be an authority site in its own right, used as a very flexible content site. Search engines love blogs a lot for this reason because of the constant addition of new material. Obviously there are your posts but if you get a lot of comments, these also add to the content authority of the site.

4 As with niche sites, money can be made from ads of various kinds and selling ad space to others once you’ve established yourself. Then there’s selling your own products through the blog. They can be sold as a recommendation from you rather than as a straight sales pitch, especially if you created them in response to what customers and subscribers wanted. Some blogs get millions of visitors a year but a reputation has to be built up of being an authority in that niche.

5 As ever, it is the quality of information presented without being over-hyped which gains regular visitors and support. You need to try and keep your own style in the blog generally and in your own writing. To simply get articles from other sites really won’t do if you want to build a long-term authority blog and therefore business. You could have guest writers but the bulk of the tone of the blog needs to be yours.

How To Make Money With No Money

You want to know how to make money with no money because you really don’t have any spare cash. How can you do this? Here are 2 ways you can make money with literally no outlay.

Number 1 is by using Blogger.com – Google’s(TM) blogging platform. This is completely free. You don’t need to have any knowledge of website design as everything is automated. You can even have Adsense(TM) set up for you automatically. This means that everytime somebody clicks on an Adsense ad you get paid. You can open a Paypal account for free, for money to be paid into there. The ads will be related to the topic you’ve written about on that individual page. So, if your site was about parrots and that page was about feeding parrots, then there’d be ads as close as possible about that subject.

The second way of making money on a Blogger(TM) blog is to use affiliate ads and links. On that same page, you could advertise an especially good parrot food you know of, by having a banner ad or by having a link in or after your piece of writing. Go to an affiliate directory, like Clickbank(TM) or AssociatePrograms(TM) to find a product which will pay you when someone buys it through your site. You need to sign up as an affiliate with companies, to get your affiliate link which identifies you as the seller. This is also free – in fact, never pay someone to be their affiliate.

Number 2 is using free sites such as Squidoo(TM) and HubPages(TM) (there are plenty of others) in a similar way. That is, use ads, as with Adsense, and affiliate banners and links to get paid. The advantage with these types of site over Blogger is that they have a high Page Rank, that is Google sees them as having authority. Unlike your one single blog, these sites contain hundreds or thousands of other “sites” within them on whole ranges of topics. You can search through yourself.

Now, this isn’t all you can do to make money with no money. You need to relate these sites together. Why would you do this? Mainly in order to increase traffic. Without visitors to your site you won’t get any sales, never mind anybody looking at your ads.

The free sites have much better Page Rank, as your blog will start at zero. Therefore, put links (called Backlinks) from your free site to your blog. Google will recognise an authority site is linking to your blog and that will help with its Page Rank. Also, it will help your blog in getting indexed in the search engines and getting a reasonable showing in the search engines results (SERPS).

Finally, before you go anywhere near Blogger or a free site, to make money with no money you must do research, and choose a topic you know something about or can find out about. Go to the Google Keyword Tool(TM) and find good keywords to write about in your chosen topic. Then check how much competition there is by putting each keyword in inverted commas in Google. The more searches and the less competition the better.

How Physical Products Can Make You Money

Why would anyone want to bother with physical products when you can sell instant download digital ones?

Firstly, you can usually charge more for something people can see, touch, and handle.

Secondly, they have constant reference to it. Not like the old stories of people buying stuff that then it sits gathering dust on their hard drive because they’ve forgotten it’s there, and, in any case, they just don’t come across it easily – even if they search for it.

Thirdly, they’re less likely to return it to ask for a refund. It’s more of a bother and there’s the cost of postage, especially if it’s to another country.

There are two ways round the problems of posting and packing.

First, you can pay a dropshipper to carry the product to the customer. There’s almost any product imaginable that a dropshipper will deal with.

The great advantage is that you don’t pay the dropshipper until after the customer has paid.

The one thing to be careful about is that of choosing your dropshipper carefully. You need to do some research on them as to reliability and prices.

The second way, especially for sending discs of information, is to use a service, like Kunaki(TM), which will do all the work for you.

Even with physical products, you want to have automatic systems as far as possible.

5 Ways To Tell If You’ve A Great Product So You Can Make Money Today!

Here’s a very old and common question: “How can I make money today?” To do that, it’s absolutely basic to have a great product. Here’s how to tell if you have that sort of product to sell, either as an affiliate, a resell rights product or your own.

Firstly, before you get a product of any sort you must look in your niche and see what worries, problems and questions people have. Then get a product that will remove those worries, solve that problem and give solid answers to those questions. Ask yourself: “Why would anyone want to buy it?” It may be the greatest software, or a thousand page ebook packed full of information, or the smoothest and clearest audio, video and ecourse anyone has ever seen. But it won’t sell unless it solves worries, problems or questions. Ask yourself: “Would I buy this product in this niche today?”

Secondly, it must help the masses. Your neighbour, uncle George, and your spouse may find it all very interesting and even be willing to buy it. But you’d hardly call it a way to make money today. As with your research in the first point, there must also be enough people wanting such a product, and willing to buy it. If there aren’t, then you won’t make any money worth talking about. So, deal with the masses.

Thirdly, your product must be original in some way, or preferably unique. You could take another type of product and make some additions to it or streamline it in some way. Whatever you need to do without actually copying the first product. On the other hand, you may have an idea that is unique and has not been thought of before. For example, you might have a unique way of communicating with customers that is nowhere on the market. The problem with these methods? They take time beyond today. The quickest way to sell such a product today is be an affiliate for one – so you’ll have to search around for it, but it can be found today.

Fourthly, just as you might be thinking: “I want to make money today”, your potential customer is thinking: “I want a solution to my worries/problem/question today, in fact immediately.” They have to “see” in their mind’s eye as they read your copy on a sales site or email or blog that this is indeed their immediate solution. And then, when they download it, it had better be the fast solution they expected. Otherwise, it’s refunds and a bad name in your niche.

Fifthly, even better than seeing in their mind’s eye is the visitor or reader actually seeing it working, or at least operating, in front of them immediately. That is, you can show them how it works or will be useful. Now, of course, this is easiest with scripts or software right on the page. However, you could show the effects of information in an ebook or ecourse on your and others’ bottom line. Or show small demonstrations of parts of the information’s instructions. This is where testimonials, too, can be so important: telling how it works, and possibly showing how parts of the information work in their business. Again, these last things take time, so software is probably best so you can make money today.

To make money today then you ideally need an affiliate software product that can be shown to work on the page your visitors read. It also needs to be original, solves worries, problems or questions in your niche, and appeals to the masses.

How To Make Money On The Web Marketing Guide

You’re trying to make money on the web and you think you’re not because you haven’t got that latest mega marketing pack that came out last week? Or you’re convinced your sales copy stinks but you just can’t afford to get the tips you need from that guru? How about you’re really not doing enough of all that Web 2.0 marketing – how do you do it anyway? You’ve got a system or method set up but there must be a missing link?

It isn’t any of these. What gives a business its basic leverage is its foundations – doing the things that really need to get done, right. Most people don’t get this.If you haven’t started yet, or hardly started, do the following and you’ll have a massive advantage.

1 List the benefits, not the features of your offer. In other words, sit down and work out how your product will actually help your customers. Do this in two ways: give them rational reasons how it will help them, and, also, give them emotional reasons. Give them the full benefits picture in about 7 points – in bullets.

Why bullets? Because a usual reader will scan down the page looking for the key points, so if you list all those benefits for them in a simple format, then they’ll keep reading. This is the reason testimonials are so helpful: people are giving the benefits to the customer.

2 At all times, give your reader valuable information. That is, information which pre-sells the reader about your product. It should be information to help them in some way to make money on the web. It may be revealing knowledge the reader probably doesn’t know or giving strategies, tactics, methods or recommendations that can be practically used. Try to give information which you could sell if you wanted to, even if it would be just part of a bigger package. So, it’s valuable in financial terms and in its usefulness for taking action.

3 Why don’t people buy? Many reasons but some will be because they have a nagging worry or question about the product. So, in your information about the product, address any worries or questions the reader might have. Put yourself in their shoes or test the information with others to see what questions arise. Try to respond to and answer any of the reader’s possible worries, ahead of time.

Deal with these fundamental areas and you’ll have a better chance to make money on the web.

Can I Make Money On The Net?

Yes, you can make money on the net, but you need to take it one day at a time. It cannot be done by sticking up a website on the internet, doing a litle bit of advertising – and hoping for the best. That won’t work, no matter what the sales page said that you bought from.

Internet marketing is something that takes time to learn and if you don’t give it time, then your Internet marketing career could be very short lived indeed.

Preparation is a key in internet marketing. Most people think that you can just jump online without knowing anything and be a big success. Now it does happen sometimes, but it’s a rare occurrence. People who have instant success many times never see it again and that is why preparation is the key if you want a long-term paying business. When you are fully prepared for success you have a much better grasp of what’s needed. For example, what if you had a sudden success, thousands of people coming to your site wanting to buy (or what if you built up to this). Could you and your systems you’d set up, deal with it? You won’t if you haven’t prepared before you even upload a website.

The right tools are an absolute necessity. These include good hosting, an autoresponder and preferably an HTML editor . The autoresponder is probably one of the most important things that you will need. An autoresponder sends automatic messages to your customers, so it gives you more time and helps you to work more effectively. If you have nothing else you should have a good autoresponder to communicate with your lists and to make offers. A tracking tool would also be useful to at least track clicks on your links – otherwise you won’t know which are your most popular offers.

Persistence is vital. Without the right attitude, it’s almost guaranteed you won’t last very long. Strange to say, but anybody can put up a money-making type site. This could be their own or one they’ve bought. It may make some money or it may not. The question is: what do you do then? If you’ve bought into this type of site, then lots of other people will have it too – and they’re your competition, all with the same site. So, why should anybody buy from you especially? If you put it up yourself, you’ll need to test what works best on it. You may get some traffic but are they buying? You’ve hardly even started to scratch the surface of how to make money on the net.

Being organised will make or break your business. You could have done all the above, even well beyond the basics. But if you (and therefore usually your business processes) are disorganised you will stumble in no time. How will you organise: your autoresponder? the materials on your computer? how you collect payments? respond to a request or complaint? You must have processes in place, preferably automated as much as possible, so you’re not forever behind yourself.

It could just save you a lot of hassle and start you off in the right way to your own business, not just trying to put up a money-making site.
