First of all, what i think is that, earning money from your blog is not so easy as many of the people think. Earning money is never easy. But it is really true that you CAN earn a big money from your blog. You can buy a hosting plan, a domain name, install WordPress application and write few long articles, all in one day. But you need months or years to start earning from your blog. As i have mentioned in my previous posts that the amount of traffic you are getting from the Google is your real income. If you can get good traffic like 1000 unique visitors from Google per day, you will start earning a nice amount.

How Much People Are Earning From Their Blogs?

The successful bloggers are making a great money from their blogs. When a blog starts getting the steady huge traffic, it starts earning a huge money. You may have heard about John Chow and Alan Liew. They are running their blogs(johnchow dot com and moneymakerinfo dot blogspot dot com). If you read their advertising rate pages, you can make an idea of their earnings. I can guess that they are making alteast $10k/month from their single blogs.

These were just 2 examples. I know some of my friends, who are earning like $100-300/day from their network of websites. So, i can confirm that you can very easily quit your day job, if you are good at blogging.

What Are the Sources Of Income On Blogs?

The main source of earning money is the advertisement. I have seen that most of the bloggers are earning from the following sources.

• Google Adsense
• Selling Direct Ads Places on their Blogs
• Selling Text Links From Their Blogs
• Affiliate Marketing
• Selling Their Own Products/Services On Their Blogs

Most of the bloggers, are earning from Google adsense and Affiliate Marketing.

Conclusion:

As a conclusion, i can say that you can surely make a smart income from your blog if you can get huge search engine traffic and you can quit your jobs too. But this will not happen in few days or months. You need the continuous efforts for years to achieve this goal.

Best of Luck!!!

Here Is An Example:

Suppose you are using affiliate marketing on your website. You have selected the topic of pet raising on your website and you are trying to drive your website traffic to some websites that are offering the valuable services, products and tips for pet raising. Suppose you are able to get 500 search engine visitors to your website, per day. Again suppose that 10% of these, 50 visitors, click on your affiliate links and go to the product websites. Now, suppose that 10% of these persons who clicked on links actually purchased the product. It means that out of 500 visitors, 5 people converted into the actual buyers. The actual conversion rate here is 1%. Suppose the product price is $20 and you are getting the generous 10% commission. Then from 5 sales/day you are earning $10/day from your 500 search engine visitors.

Suppose, after reading this article, you decided to sell your own product on your website. You hired a professional writer and paid him/her $100 to write a really great and original E book about pet raising or any topic like hawaii wedding photographer. You removed all affiliate links from your landing page and replaced them with your own Buy Now links. You set $19.99 as the price of your E book. Now taking the same stats. The 500 people from search engines arrived on your home page. 10% of them clicked on your Buy Now Link(50 people). Now again 10% of these actually bought your product(5 people). Your conversion rate is again 1%. But how much you earned? The $100 from 5 sales in one day.

So you can see that your revenue can be increased to many folds if your website is getting the search engine visitors and you are selling your own product.

Step By Instructions To Earn Online Money By Selling Your Own E Book On Your Website:

The above example have made it very clear that why should you sell your own products, instead of selling other’s products. Now here is the step by step procedure to actually make this business work for you in the shortest time.

Step 1: Write An Original, Unique and Useful E Book:

As we are taking the example of E book we will be sticking to it. If you know about your topic very well, and you can write in error free English, then you should write your own E book. The E book should be between 20-30 pages. If you cannot write or don’t want to write yourself then hire a ghost writer. There are many websites from where you can hire the writers. I will recommend you the V Worker / Rent A Coder. Post a project, give clear instructions, set your price and invite writers. Choose the best writer by checking his/her profile, ratings, previous projects done and his/her bidding style. Give 7 days to writer to write 20 page E book. After you have received the E book check it online on copyscape.com for duplication. And read it thoroughly for any grammar, spellings and sentence errors etc. In case of any issue ask the write to revise it and make it errors free.

After your content is perfect, create an index and keep your E book in WORD and PDF format. Your content is ready.

Step 2 – Design A Cover For Your E Book:

You need a good looking cover for your E book before selling it. You can, again, hire a designer, from V Worker / Rent A Coder, and get your E book cover in a day or 2. Now your E book is ready to be sold on your website.

Step 3 – Integrate A Payment Processor On Your Website To Accept Payments:

You need to have a system on your website, where your website visitors will pay you to buy your E book. There are many options like Paypal integration. It is very simple and if you don’t know about that you can hire a programmer, from V Worker / Rent A Coder, who can do that for you in $5o.

The easiest option is ClickBank.com. Just create an account with them and tell them that you want to sell your E book. After approval they will give you some HTML code that you should place behind your Buy Now links. And you are done. Whenever a visitor will click on the link, it will take him to Clickbank site where he can securely deposit his money and after the transaction is complete he will get his E book from a unique link. ClickBank is very secure platform and can accept the payment in variety of forms and their security is reliable.

So, you have seen that how easy it is, to write and sell your own E book on any topic. Please always remember that you will only be successful in this business if you can get the interested and targeted visitors from Google to your website.

On facebook you can easily create the page about any topic, you want. For instance, you can create your company profile, personal profile, can create a product review page etc. Suppose you have created a page that reviews about a popular DVD. You can make the friends that are interested in the topic. You need to grow your friends for greater exposure.

Suppose you have some products to sell on ebay, then you can drive the targeted traffic from the facebook. You can place you affiliate links or Ads on your facebook page telling people about your products that you are selling on ebay.

Similarly, if you are an affiliate with Amazon, then you can give the links of related products, on your facebook page. People who use facebook, often click on the links to purchase some gifts for their friends etc. Try to take the advantage from that trend.

If your page have become very famous with good search engine ranking, then you can sell some space to advertisers. The interesting advertisers will place their Ads on your facebook page and you will be paid monthly.

I have discussed few ways that you can use to earn from facebook.

Some of you may ask that why to use facebook, when there are many other platforms. The reason is that facebook is very popular and you can get the search engine ranking very easily, if you are using facebook. You will need less effort to make your facebook page ranking well in search engines as compared to other websites. Also, the worth of your pages will increase with the increasing numbers of your friends and followers.

But if your blog have not that much traffic or most of your traffic is from social network sites, then there are lesser chances of getting good Ads with good prices. So, before trying this method to make money online from your blog, you should focus, on the quality and quantity of your traffic to your blog.

The question is how to get the Ads? The very simple way is to create a page saying “Advertise Here” on your blog. In this page you should tell your visitors about different spots on your website where you will allow the text ads, banner ads, text links etc. You should also mention the price for each spot. The price is higher for the Ads close to the main content and at the top region of the blog. You should also mention the way to pay you. For instance, you can mention that you want to be paid via paypal etc. The very important thing is that you must mention that how much traffic you are getting on daily basis, to your blog. What is the percentage of search engine traffic? How many subscribers you have? This info will make your readers to trust in your site and they will happily pay to put their Ads on your blog.

Many of your website visitors will be having their own websites and selling the products or services similar to the theme of you blog. They will love to get a share of traffic from your blog.

If your blog have a high PR like PR4 or above, then many of the website owners will be interested to get the simple text links from your blog to increase their search engine ranking and google PR. You can include these links under the heading of useful links and get some monthly payment from each website owner.

So, you have seen that how you can earn online money just by placing the Ads and links of other websites on your blog. But again remember that you need the good and steady traffic to your website for this method to work.

If you know how to drive traffic to your website and how to convert your visitors into the customers, then you must sell your own product. Many of you might be wondering that what products can i sell? And how to make a new product? And how much will it cost to create a new product etc etc. I know that it looks really difficult. But actually it is not. You can get the products with resale rights from some websites, or you can get the PLR material to sell online.

What is the PLR material? There are many PLR websites on the internet that can give you the PLR material at affordable rates. These PLR materials usually include ebooks, newsletters, articles, sales letters etc. The good thing is that once you have paid for these materials, you are allowed to use them anywhere or sell them online. The ebooks are the great for selling purpose.

Similarly, the resale right products, are the products that you can resale online to your website visitors after you have purchased them.

Suppose you have a website related to the topic of self defence, and you have promoted the site well and getting some good amount of targeted visitors. Then why not to sell an ebook about self defence techniques? You can buy an e-book from the PLR websites and design a good e-cover and put it on your website with little price like $19.95 etc. If your website visitors are targeted, some of them will surely buy this ebook and you will be getting some extra bucks without any extra effort.

You can also create a website just for selling resale right products. Most of these products are usually digital products. For setting up a website to sell the products, you need some online payment processor so that people can pay to you online and get the instant access to the product. You should also try to register your visitors of your website, to create a list. You should email your members once in a week to remind them about your product. There are many other ways to convert your visitors into the buyers.

You can find many PLR websites online. Just google the term PRL website and you will get a long list. Select the old and reliable website with many positive reviews and choose your product wisely. If you are successful with this business, you will not need to look for any other method to earn online money.

Please remember that if you have a blog on a good topic and have good daily traffic then you can really earn a very good amount of money from your blog. The best type of traffic is the search engine traffic that converts best. If you have 500 unique visitors per day to your blog then you can start earning good money. And if you have more traffic like 1000 unique visits per day or 2000 unique visits per day, then the worth of your blog will increase further. And if most of your traffic, like 80% or more, is from search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc then your blog will be the best money making machine

What Are Forums And Why People Make Forums?

Forums are a very good media for discussion. People usually make the forums on particular topics and other people related to that field or industry join these free forums to share, discuss and learn the new and old aspects of the related topics. The forum owners can earn a really smart earning from their forums, if they can attract a good number of really interested and focused users. For instance you are running an online jewelry shop to sell the pandora jewelry, then you can create a forum to aid your customers and new visitors. People can ask questions about your different jewelry products and issues they are facing. You or other senior members of forums can directly answer them in the forum. This will increase your sales and your website visitors will start trusting in you and your business.

You can also create the forums, without having any business. For instance, you can choose any hot topic like teeth whitening and invite the professionals and common people to discuss their issues and other aspects etc. As your forum community will grow, you can earn substantial amount of money from advertisers like Google Adsense and from other dental product companies.

So, now you know that why people are making forums and how are they earning from their forums.

CJ

You can start working with any of these. You can register on these websites for free and can browse for the products. Search for the best selling products on these websites related to acne care.

It is simple. People are coming on your website as they are interested in acne treatment. When they will reach on your website, they will see a link telling about some great acne care cream that can cure acne in 2 weeks. Some of your visitors will click on this link and will be taken to the website of the company who is actually selling that cream. As your ID was embedded in the link, it will be tracked that you had actually sent that customer on the seller website. When customer will buy the product, your commission will be added in your account.
