Trying To Make Money Blogging

Yesterday I started working on a new blog, I’m going to use this blog to try and make some money with Adsense. A lot of people will tell you that Adsense is dead and how you must stay away from it. A lot of posts like that will have clever little links in trying to get you to sign up for another ad network. They don’t give a crap about you, they just want to earn their fee from getting you to sign up. Anyway, in this post I’m going to give you a run down of how I got my blog up and running.

Choosing my domain
Finding a new domain can be a pain in the ass. The domains you want are all taken and you usually end up with something you don’t really like. Rather than having to waste my time trying to get PR, Google links, Yahoo links etc. I went and bought a domain with most of this already done for me. You might think this is going to be expensive, trust me, it isn’t. Head over to Freshdrop.net. (more…)

The best way to keep your readers coming back is to provide them with great content. Anyone can write a blog post, but it’s writing blog posts that people will find interesting, exciting and make them want to voice their opinions that counts. I’ve found that writing 300-400 word posts taking the piss or criticizing other blogs seems to work best, but I guess that works for everyone because people love controversy. Some bloggers are able to write long posts that keep the reader interested, Griz from makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com is a perfect example of this. Unfortunately for me, I’m not as talented as he is (I guess I’m ass kissing) so I have to try and write short, sharp straight to the point posts. Anyway I’ve been looking at the many ways of posting content and I’ve been trying to figure out which is the best. (more…)

Now that I’m on a mission to get my traffic flowing sweetly again, I’ve estimated I’ll be needing to spend roughly 3 hours a day writing, posting comments, advertising and promoting this make money online blog. Sounds like quite an easy target, before I dumped Entrecard that’s probably the amount of time I spent dropping cards, using the forums and so on. While I was using Entrecard though, I wasn’t really working on any other projects full time, so I did have time to mess around on bounce rate heaven. You see, I now have CMSNerd which is a full time project. The Nerd takes up a lot of time because I have to review submissions, track down sites, create showcases and much more. I seriously underestimated the amount of work a gallery site needs in order to run smoothly. Working full time on two blogs, as well as working on a third serious blog! Kind of leaves me screwed time wise. (more…)
