Make More Money From Your Existing Traffic

12. July 2009

0 Comments

Who said that you have to drive thousands of visitors to your website to make money? That’s absolutely false!

If you want to make money from a small amount of people than you can, you just need to know how to monetize it. I know a few marketers who don’t get more than 300 visitors a month but they still make a five figure monthly income. How? That’s a great question, so lets take a closer look.

Start Building a List – This is probably the best way to monetize your visitors and your daily readers. If you have a blog with high quality information and people are reading your content, it will be smart to use the “post signature” plugin to ask the readers to join your RSS list. If you’ll take a look at the end of this post, or any other post you will see that I’m using it myself. You can’t even imagine how much money it will add to your monthly or daily income. People are not always aware to your RSS feed. If you simply tell them that they can get all the great information that you’re writing directly by email, there is a very high chance that they will subscribe. People are afraid to leave your website and to forget to come back, so if you offer them to join your vip list who gets updated about every post you write they will jump on the offer. Well, not all of them but you can expect 300% more subscribers a month.

If you have a website, and you can’t add a plugin to it, you can always use a pop-up window with a request to join to your list. Don’t worry, you are not going to get your readers mad at you, because you can use a nice pop-up that will not hurt your readers eyes or something. When you create your pop-up be sure to add a “close this window” button on a visible place so that people can just close it if they are not interested. Remember to create your opt-in attractive so that people will feel they are going to miss something big if they do not join right now. Make a call to action to force them to join, but don’t be to agressive.

After you have a list of subscribers than you know they are getting every post you write on your blog by email. That means that you must keep your promotions for good times or for a time that you are not going to write on your blog. You can choose two days a week for promotions instead of blog writing. You don’t want people to run away from your list. What you want to achieve here is flow of reading. If you can manage to take your readers into a reading flow than you are half way up on your way to success. For those of you who don’t really know what is a reading flow, it’s simply to make your reader wait for your articles. If you have high quality articles and you write 7 posts a week for example, than your RSS feed reader is getting used to read one post a day from you. If for some reason you don’t find the time to write a post in one of those seven days, you will see that you get people asking you what happend, that is a reading flow, when something is missing to the reader when he don’t get your peace of content, your art.

Use More Banners – Lots of webmasters and bloggers are looking at banners as something annoying to the readers, but I can confidently tell you that if you know where to locate your banners, and how to design them to fit your website, the reader will not get hurn from your banners at all.

The banners on your site should look like news and not advertising. If you’ll design your advertising banners in a “Just Launched, The Zero Friction Marketing” news way than your readers will probably click on your banners more, and while they make you more money they will be happy that you provide updated news on your website/blog.

Insert Your Adsense Into Your Content – If you still don’t have Adsense ads in every end of post on your blog than you should add it right now. You have to understand that you are providing free content for people and it’s more than”perfect” to use Adsense ads on your site. Go ahead and create your Adsense ads and add them into your blog. If your theme is not supporting Adsense ads automatically than you can always use a plugin to do that. Make sure to choose a plugin who lets you decide on the locations of the ads and their color, and when you choose the color for your ads choose a color that will not get people mad on you. Try to choose something similar to your blog colors so they can fit.

There are a lot more than those 3 ways to monetize your traffic. I will write more posts about this topic because it’s very important to monetize your blog. You are working hard to give people information, and you must see a return for your work. If you’ll not see a return for your investment you can be sure that your motivation is going to drop. If you really want to see that you can mae money online even from 10 visitors a day than try to put those things into action.

Make Money Online From Advertisements On Your Blog

29. June 2009

0 Comments

If you have a successful blog, than advertisers are really easy to find. Like in the real world, advertising always works and always have demand. If your blog is well established blog, than all you have to do is to find advertisers in your niche and sell some advertising space. If you don’t have enough advertising space on your blog than you should start creating some. Every blog needs some money and without advertising space you’ll not be able to make money from your blog.

The best way to find advertisers in your niche is to visit forums, other blogs, and to contact other website owners by email. This is only one option. Another option is to browse website’s like textlinkads.com who are offering you money to place text ads on your website.

If you preffer to put some banner on your website than you should consider clickbank as an option. Many clickbank advertisers have an affiliates page where you can find some banners and other ways to promote the product. Grab one small banner from every product and you’re ready to go.

As you can see, I use those banner ads myself, and it took me less than 30 minutes to set everything up.

By placing banner ads on your blog you can charge some nice amounts of money from the advertisers. The advertising cost is calculated by a few factors.

1. Your blog’s traffic

If you have some decent amounts of traffic coming to your blog every day than you can make a lot of money. a good amount of traffic to a blog is higher than 200 uniques a day.

2. Your blog pagerank

If your blog has a high pagerank than you can expect to charge a lot of money for your links. The amount of money you can make is calculated by your pagerank. The higher your pagerank is, the better you are getting paid.

3. Your Domain Age

Sometimes you can charge even more money from the advertiser if your blog is very old. An old domain is trusted by Google and that’s why you can charge some extra money for it.

If you have enough advertising space on your blog you can make some good amounts of money. Don’t you ever forget not to use to much advertisments on your blog because people don’t love see to much adverts on a blog, and they can run away to a safer and a more clean blog. Try to keep your blog as clean as you can AND to advertise as much as you can without disturbing your readers.

Blogging for your success,

3 Ways To Boost Your Feeds Subscription

23. June 2009

0 Comments

As I already told you, making money online is really easy if you know how to treat your marketing. One of the best tools to make money online is by having your own list of subscribers who are interested to know new things you find, and to know how to work better with their business by following your footprints.

When you start your own blog, you have the option to add a feed subscription so that people can register and get your blog feeds by email. lots of people do subscribe to those feeds because they don’t want to take the risk and miss one of your posts, or lessons if you will. The nice thing about the feeds subscriptions is that it’s a free service given by Google. Instead of wasting your money on an autoresponder account from Aweber, you can simply capture people’s emails by Feedburner.

OK, so after you have your blog setup and everything is working, you love the new theme you just installed, and you started to get traffic here and there, how you capture as much names as you can to build your list?

1. Visible Subscription Box – Make sure your subscription box stands in a place where any visitor can see it. You subscription box MUST have a shiny color, or at least a color that will grab the visitors eyes as much as you can. Another good tip is to make you optin box big enough for people to see. Not only young people are browsing the web, so be sure to take care of the people who need big things to see better. Don’t do it to big to scare people, just be reasonable.

2. Call To Action – Your RSS optin box should call to action. Make sure to explain how they could optin and where they need to add their details. Not everyone knows how to fill in their details and sometimes they really want to get your emails, but they simply don’t know how to do it. Not all the people are techi.

3. Describe The Benefits – Whenever you offer something to someone, no matter if it’s free or paid, you need to explain what’s in it for him. Don’t just say here’s my optin box and you should subscribe to it because I want to get a few bucks out of you, you have to show him the benefits that he will get from bieng in your list. Tell him that he will get a lot of useful tips, free gifts, and professional advice from you. Just by explaining what’s in it for them you’ll be able to see a high conversion rate for your subscriptions.

As you can see, there are minor things who can make a big change. You always need to test and track your conversions and see if you can make them even better. Having a subscription box is not enough to get people’s attention. If you want to have as much subscribers as you can you need to let them know how they can benefit from what you are offering to them. An email address is a precios thing today, people are not giving it just like that because they are afraid of spam. If they don’t know you enough they will hesitate to give you their personal information, and that’s why you have to work on their attention and feelings when you want something from them.

“There is no stupid question, there are stupid people who are afraid to ask simple questions”, if you have anything to ask just do so. :)

As always, blogging for your success,

Mike G

Make Money Online By Blogging For Fun

23. June 2009

0 Comments

Blogs are hot, very hot in fact. Everyday thousands of new blogs are born, and thousands of are blogging about their hobby and making money while they do it. Have you ever tried to make money from blogging?

Blogging is the best way to make money online. While it takes time for people to know your blog and love it, when it happens it’s a real deal. You write about what you love, and getting paid for it. Now, there are people who try to blog about things they don’t like just because they found a profitable market, and that’s NOT the way to succeed with your blog. Unless you are writing about something that you’re passionate about, you have no other way than failure.

So how do you start blogging for fun and profit? You are here to do what you love and make money from it right?

1. Find a profitable niche that you’re sure you can blog about for a long time. If you are getting excited from finding new things about that topic, reading the news about that niche, and talking to people about it than you have a winner. You can easily tell if your niche is profitable without going thru hell. Simply visit the clickbank marketplace and see if there are products with high gravity for that niche. If there is a high gravity than you are in a safe place. You know that people are buying products in your niche, and if you’ll write enough good content for your blog than people will come to read and of course buy products from you eventually.

2. When you have a niche in your mind, it’s time to buy a cool domain for your blog. Your domain name should contain the keywords of the niche you are going to target. If for example you decided to target a dog training product than your domain name should look like “http://www.DogtrainingCentral.com” or something similar to this. Choose a good domain because it will have a huge effect on your search engines rankings.

3. After you have a cool domain with the niche keyword built in it’s time to buy a hosting account to host your blog files. You can find lots of hosting companies by a simple search on Google. If you want to find the best packages available than you should read other people’s reviews which you can find on Internet marketing forums such as the Warriorforum or at digitalpoint. If you don’t know those forums yet than you have to visit them as fast as you can because there is a lot of useful information in them.

4. Get an FTP software to upload your files to your hosting account. You can download the free trial of SmartFTP which is by far the best FTP software on the market. I use it too. You can find the SmartFTP software by typing it name on Google.

5. Download Wordpress from wordpress.com and unpack the package. Now is the time to open your FTP software and upload the files to the server. If you know your login details for the hosting server than just fill them on the FTP software and connect. If you don’t know them than simply contact you hosting company and they will send them to you in no time. Good hosting companies usually answer question in less than 2 hours, so be patient and wait for their reply. When you have the details, simply drag the files of Wordpress into the server and BAM!, you made a magic!

6. Now is the time to install your Wordpress blog, type in your domain name into the address bar and you should see the installation instructions to follow. If you don’t see them I’ll be more than happy to help you out, so comment here under this post to get my help.

7. Now your blog is installed and ready for work. Be sure to keep your admin password in a safe place where no one can find it. Log into your account and make your first post. This should be a breeze because the Wordpress interface is as simple as it can be. Even a dumb can understand how to work with it.

8. Find a suitable theme for your blog. You can find a lot of professional themes at topwpthemes.com. Find a good theme that looks as professional as you can find, but it should fit your niche too. The installation of such a theme is really easy and all you have to do is to follow the readme file that you get with the theme.

9. Now that your blog looks good, it’s time to start working. If you want your blog to succeed than you should work a lot. There is no easy money online or offline. If you want to make money you should produce a lot of unique and fresh content and get backlinks to your website. If you want your blog to succeed on it’s first year than you should write at least 3 new articles/posts a day for a competitive niche, and 2 articles/posts per day for a less competitive niche.

10. Getting backlinks is the hardest thing in the whole process. Creating content depends on you, but backlinks is a decision that is made by others. If you want to create a lot of backlinks to your site than you should work hard on it. When you wake up in the morning, you should create 2-3 posts for your blog and schedule them to 3 times during the day. After you have your posts ready you can clear your time for getting backlinks to your site. Remember that you must have a lot of backlinks to your site if you want to be successful. Backlinks are not only driving traffic to your site, but also rank you better on the search engines results.
