Hi all,

I

3 out of 10 of my clients are diligent enough to make money blogging. That means 7 people will give up, and they go back to a regular day job. So, decide beforehand, are you diligent enough to devote a year or more to gain success?

I set up WordPress blogs for $350.00. I have found that the bloggers who are diligently posting at least every other day are able to make money with a combination of advertising networks, and make that back within the year. It does a take at least one year, and I encourage them to do more than one blog (of course, I get paid each time) because one can exponentially increase their revenue, and they can see what works and what doesn’t. After the initial year or more, they tend to understand how to do this, and they surpass need for me.

Philosophy #1: Why work 40 plus hours per week for someone else, when you can spend half the time maintaining 5 blogs, each of which can bring in income.

Start now, however, since you won’t see diddly for a year or more. Devote time at night, or early morning.

Philosophy #2: You can take 2 years and create multiple blogs now, or have that same two years pass and have nothing at the end if you don’t. Your choice.

Hi We registered with Vertical Blogger and got very little, now they have updated the site and it is working much better for us. I like it. But what really works for us is selling our own products. We did a small test with T-shirts designed with our own cinema flyers and they sold out in a day. Only 10 though but HEY.

We will be going for affiliates too because it fits our theme. We post advertising of classic movies from a very exclusive collection so it makes sense to add a link to buy the movie.

Guys lets keep it going if someone has any good tips share them.

All the best to every one

We blog but we don’t think about making $ from the blog, its more of referals, and bulding relation with our boat paint, tile bath, hardwood installs contractors.

I have made some money off of my computer repair blog by writing about Viruses and malware as soon as I encounter them. The important thing to do is tell your audience about a product or service and then offer to sell it to them. SEO is key because no one will find your blog unless you are optimized.

Hello Everyone,

If making money with a blog, or any other tool for that matter, were easy,
then we could all do it. Right?

Anyway, one way to ensure you are getting the most of your blog is to
have it build your marketing list for YOU.
Some call it branding you, have your visitor connect to you, find out what
THEY need and then go from there.

Many marketers are still NOT doing this and what a waste that is!
Your list is your connection to your subscribers, clients, leads and prospects.
Even if you change your business or company, this list goes with you.

So, my number one strategy, in addition to writing useful content is a simple
form asking my visitor for their contact details so that I can keep in touch with them.

Hope this helps!
