Money With Blogs

October 26th, 2006 by dreed

Is it really possible to make money from your blog? You bet it is! The great part is, you can write about anything that interests you. It can virtually be any topic under the sun. You can write about owning your own home business. We did not have an opportunity to make money this easily several years ago. People were making money online then , but it was just a few of the pioneers of Internet marketing, and even some of those people didn’t make very much. Now anyone who can type at all has the ability to make and online income and when done right you can make large amounts of money . One of the easiest ways to do that is doing what I am right here, and that is posting a blog. So get up off your keester and get the ole imagination fired up and start typing. You will not only be surprised at how easily the words come, but also the money. One of my favoprite blog spots is here– www.searchbigdaddy.com/dreed. This is also a great search engine where you can earn free traffic credits for your favorite websites. When I started thinking about what I could even write about, I have to admit I was stumped for a topic. Then it hit me, and in reality, it is very simple. You merely write about anything that comes to mind and with only a little imagination and even less time, it all starts to come together. So whatever your interest is from real estate and refinancing a homeloan to hiking, kayaking, baking cookies, cars or trains, sit down and type for ten minutes on what you either know about that subject or what interests you about your favorite subject and get that cash rolling in. Building an income online is easy if we open our minds and believe it can happen. The first thing that stops us from our goals is that we simply do believe we can achieve them. We either set our goals to high or we do not really set any at all. There are people who set small goals and actually achieve them , some set goals and forget them, and some set them so high they simply can not reach them and get disgusted and give up. So start small start slow, but just start. The main thing I am trying to convey here is that you can create an income by doing something you like or that you like to read about. Stay in your comfort zone and break out when you are ready. I promise it won’t be long before you see the potential. The potential I refer to is the potential to make lots of money. Yes it does take some effort, but not a lot of effort. This also takes a little time, but as the saying goes - nothing in this life is ever actually free-. You don’t have to sit for hours writing, just add a line or two a day and make it easy for you to create, and the reader to understand it all. After all what good will it do if the reading become boring and uninteresting? Well that is an easy one. People will stop reading.
Every blog that can make money has a link or several links to an opportunity or product. There are lot’s of free traffic exchanges ou there but in my own experience they rarely work. It is hard at times to think in terms of not using free traffic exchanges, but if you want quality traffic and don’t just want random numbers of visitors to your site, you really need to think in terms of search engines and pay-per click advertising. Free traffic exchanges do work, but the percentages of quality traffic are real low. I have yet to get a sale from a free traffic exchange. To be perfectly honest I never have gotten any sales from the free traffic exchanges. The sad thing is I have gotten literally thousands of hits to my sites that I have advertised on them, but I have yet to receive even one sale from them. The only way yo umay be able to gain from the free traffic exchanges is to build a huge downline, and honestly I don’t have the time to invest in that much recruiting. So I would say in my opinion they are worthless and time consuming. The other thing I like about advertising on a blog is that you can sign up for Google adsense, and they will put ads on your blog that pertain to whatever your blog is about. When people click on those ads, you get paid. I am just starting to experiment with this and will write more about it as things progress. It seems we are always searching for new ways to make extra money, or maybe even enough money to quit our regular jobs. Could this be the way. We all know the that once in a while we accidently hit on something and maybe this is that something.
