How to Make Money From Blogs

January 27, 2009

So, you love to blog: putting your thoughts, ideas and opinions out there for all to see, writing reviews, sharing your take on the latest news, pontificating about the latest scandal surrounding Britney Spears, etcetera. You love posting, building a readership and the act of actively creating something. If only you can find a way to make some sort of living from it. If only you knew how to make money from your blogs, then life will be all the sweeter right?

Truth is, some people are blogging for a living and making some serious cash. Like professional athletes there are superstar bloggers who make six figure incomes doing what most others do just for the fun or glory of it. However, a closer look will show that, like any other hardworking pro, high earning bloggers do not just find their blogs falling into a great big pile of cash. Instead these bloggers work hard at getting their work recognized, applying all the tools to get them noticed, and selling their blog to both the public as well to the business sector.

Building Backlinks With Blogs

January 23, 2009

The most boring part of getting traffic to a website is
getting backlinks. This is hard, boring, time consuming
work. You spend hours finding relevant websites to link to,
then spend hours more sending emails requesting backlinks,
or submitting your sites to there links pages. And at the
end of the day (actually in a few weeks), you have ½ a dozen
new reciprocal link partners. that’s good and all, but it
bores the living hell out of me, and I don’t have time for
it. And they are only reciprocal links.

One-way links

Far better are one way links back to your pages. These are
from websites that link to your site without you having to
reciprocate. They are the best links to have, and the best
way to get them in the past has been by submitting articles
to places like directories, ezines and forums where other
people read them, and hopefully give you a link back on
there website somewhere.

Using a blog you can build one-way links to your site very
fast. If you write articles of interest to others, they will
link back to you in articles they write on their own blogs,
and bloggers link to other bloggers without even thinking. Baca Lanjutanya..

counted on to come by and quickly spider all those new blog posts
