Blogging for cash - You’re guide to money blogging - Make Money Blogging

Comments (0)By Ahson Rafiq in Blogging, Make Money Blogging, Reviews, Webmaster on 20th May 2008

Blogging for cash can be the most powerful piece of information you ever get your hands on if you are looking for a way to make money online. This one jam packed informational book on how to blog for money explains it all from start to success and everything in between to guarantee your success while blogging about your passion.

You may even already have a blog where you make posts about what you are currently doing or a topic you are interested in and can benefit from the different ways you can have it rolling in cash from every different direction. That’s the way to make money with your blog, by setting up multiple streams of income from it so that you are always bringing it in from many different sources. That way if something happens to one of the streams of income and it suddenly stops, you won’t be destroyed by it because the others will still be working for you.

Think about it, your blog can be raking in cash hand over fist all day and night long, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You don’t have to be in the office to get paid, you do your work once and then sit back and let it work for you for the rest of your life. Of course, you will want to update your blog regularly so that you get the most benefit out of it, but it can create a nice income for you that is dependable if you use the methods presented in the Blogging for Cash book.

One way you can start making money is by selling the products you have purchased that include master resell rights. You can buy the Blogging for Cash master resell rights - $39.99 and only pay $10 over the price you would pay just to read it and use it for yourself. When you buy the master resell rights, you can sell it to the people who read your blog and keep all the profits for yourself. Why not start by making a review of your own about Blogging for Cash on the blog you want to make money with and include a link to Paypal for people who would like to have a copy of it themselves. What better way to make money with your blog than to share the products with your readers and you keep all the profits? Hands down it’s well worth the extra $10 to be able to sell this product yourself. There are some limitations on the price you can sell it at too which keeps people from low-balling and making cheaper sales when they buy the master resell rights. That way the price is the same everywhere and you have just a good a chance of selling it as the next guy because no one can sell it for less than a certain price.

Blogging For Nothing to Get Started

Comments (0)By Ahson Rafiq in Blogging, Make Money Blogging on 18th May 2008

While getting started on your way to be a money blogger, you’ll have to go through that first really hard and awkward period where you’ll be blogging for absolutely nothing to get known by your competitors and such. The first 2 months are the hardest for any blogger because of the pressure, to make ’some’ money doing what you’re doing and the constant ups and downs in your stats that may discourage you alot. Making money through a blog is much more hard then people give it credit for, although the phrase writing for a living sounds really good but when it really comes to writing things it’s a whole another game.

If you’ve just started a blog and are struggling with writer’s block, unstable traffic/reader count or low serp rates, then its probably time to take some time to focus on what you are doing and what needs to be done. The best way to figure out the weak spot in your plan is to check the following things carefully on your blog;

  1. How many readers do you get added to your feed count per article posted
  2. Which articles get the most views and comments
  3. Which site gets you the most traffic, work on those sites more.
  4. Since spending money while advertising a blog that has just started is against any rules in my book so..You’ll need to do alot (20+) link exchanges with other blogs that are getting traffic. But, you need to keep only the ones that are being updated regularly (every 5 days atleast) and have a good technorati status.

After you have the info desired you can make better decisions, to be honest, content is all that it takes to make or break an earner. In order to constantly grow your blog you would need to research every aspect of your blog’s statistics, and take steps to make your blog bigger and better. Constant strategic development is necessary to get a blog off the ground, to start earning anything you need alot of discipline as well.

Misc. Ramblings - Blog Updates - 8th May 08

Comments (0)By Ahson Rafiq in Blogging, Make Money Blogging, Make Money Online on 8th May 2008

This month is turning out to be more profitable then the last one after the email problem was fixed, 8 days into the month and I’ve already sold 3 125×125 ads (on the right), that leaves only 2 spots (125×125), which are occupied by my affiliate banners at the moment (which aren’t performing that great at the moment, for some reason). Other then that I’m extremely happy that I’ve hit the 500 subscriber mark, the next post about my subscribers will be when i hit 1000 subscribers and when I hit 1000 subscribers there will be even more freebies along with the announcement post.

Let’s talk a little about blog monetization now, a few days ago I posted an article on how Lisa announced her new monetization scheme, that made me think, If i can’t achieve my blog’s full earning potential then this won’t be much of a blog offering good tips on how to make money blogging, now would it? So, I went to LinkXL (full review coming up soon) and completed any steps left then made sure that buyers would be able to buy links at this blog. I know this is a red flag at google, but frankly PR doesn’t mean much to me anymore after google teased me for sitelinks and not just that, i was left out on this pagerank update as well, yep, I’m still a PR4 here, after so much linkbuilding and work, all i got out of it was stronger serps but not a higher pagerank. I’d rather get a stronger technorati rank to earn more money. Add to Technorati FavoritesMy current technorati rank : 17,636 and Authority : 337 with 708 reactions. If you’re interested in supporting this blog then fave it on techno. :D

Monetizing your ASSets

Comments (3)By Ahson Rafiq in Blogging, Make Money Online on 5th May 2008

(pun intented)

Anyway, I think Lisa has done it big time viral with her backend advertising tactic after offering an ad spot on her lower back (way lower back) for a mere $100k, personally, I think models can get more for such advertising, body advertisements aren’t new to the media but this is more like Blog monetization that’s why it’s a new one even for long time bloggers such as John chow. Since there aren’t many attractive bloggers, I’m supporting Lisa and her cause here!

Either way, monetization tactics are always evolving so much that its hard to keep up sometimes.So, kudos to Lisa and let’s hope Kevin doesn’t get that spot for digg, that wouldn’t be much of a turn on having DIGG written at that certain place. (pun intended, again :p)

Better Blogging - Link Love

Comments (0)By Ahson Rafiq in Blogging on 25th April 2008

Every once in a while i like to spread some link love either links to good articles or resources, the most popular link love method is resources, such as wordpress themes, linking to these themes or compiling collections of themes with links would not only get you extra traffic through trackbacks but also alot of new potential readers as well and more serps come naturally with every post you make so it’s a win win situation.

Every niche has free resources, to be an authority in any niche you need to cover all aspects of that niche such as free and paid resources, breaking news, etc..

Usually link love is like a post with links to other articles with a short description of that article, although this is quite a nice way to get some trackback links but i don’t think it gives you the full effect of the trackback, compiling a list of articles will always perform way less then a list of free resources.

Giving out link love is good for a blog not only because it makes you an authority figure but also it gives your readers a fresh twist on the content, like mentioning another source of news and attention then yourself, basically.

Mishap with the contact form & Blog income report update

Comment (1)By Ahson Rafiq in Blogging, Make Money Online on 23rd April 2008


First of all I’m sorry for not responding to any mails you guys might have sent me!

A few weeks ago i stopped getting emails from my readers through the contact form, i thought its because i was not doing as well as i was before, i tried to use the contact form myself and found out that the server had a function disabled, which was enabled around 15 mins before this post and I’ve tested it as well.

So, once again I’m sorry about the inconvinience, and a note about this month’s blog income report, it will be much less then last month’s since none of my advertisers could’ve contacted me, the listings at other sites about advertising all linked to my contact form (which wasn’t working). so, yeah i guess, live and learn :)

Make sure your contact form is working by using it once or twice every once in a while.
