Working life is a bed of roses (with the thorns and minus the free money), I’ve been there and done that and based on my personal experience, working from 9 to 5 is a nightmare especially when your job scope requires you to stare at the LCD monitor for the entire day. Let’s face it, nothing beats being your own boss, won’t it be nice that for once in your lifetime you are in control of your own time, you very own space and life? Free from being told what to do and what not to do?

The illusion of working for someone is that we tend to think we are earning money, truth is, we are making money but the real question is, if we were to work for ourself, spending the same amount of time and effort, can we actually go on making more than what we are earning now? Why waste time working for someone and help building their empire or dream? After all, the only thing bosses share with their workers is recession, I doubt they ever share 1% of their profit when they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Make Money Online

Yes, the magical question everybody is seeking. If you’re reading this and desperately want to be financially independent, possibly dream of buying a brand spanking new BMW, Mercedez or a huge bungalow, my advise is - click that little red button on the right hand side of this screen. I have no idea on how to make so much money online and I believe not many people has the ability or luck to achieve that.

Hold on, but that doesn’t mean making SOME money online is not possible, there is an old saying and it goes: ‘Aim for the stars and if you fall, you’ll fall among the stars.’

The keyword is ‘Some‘, do not be greedy.

Are you believe about blogging?

The secret lies in Blogging, blogging is a no brainer way of making money online, it is simple, easy and quick to learn, require little skills and some investment depending on the choice of blogging platform, we are going to discuss about the various platform in a moment, now unlike direct selling, blogging is fun and it works pretty well for people that is bad in social communication, or hate the idea of begging someone to buy their products.

According to Technorati’s research, one blog is created every second and that’s 86,400 per day or 31,536,000 per year. That is a huge figure considering that almost half of the planet earthlings are not connected to the internet.

Blogging for money

The blogosphere continues to double about every 5.5 months and about 13% of all blogs are updated at least weekly. The main issue is how long does a blogger blogs before giving up? A week? One month? According to Technorati, half of the new blogs become redundant after just three months, we shall talk about the reason why people give up blogging in the later part of this article.

Most bloggers started out with a good intention, always with a big picture in their mind. The secret path to success is the ability to continuing blogging consistently. It doesn’t matter if no one drop any comments or someone uses harsh words banging you, the ability to maintain the momentum and chunk out interesting articles is the key to success. Most blogs takes an average of 6 months to built up the much needed momentum to leap frog one to the other stage.

What should I do next to make money from Blogging?



Diversity of opportunities - Diversifying is the key to success, bloggers that seek a steady flow of income should have multiple blogs that spread across different server and topics so as not to put all their eggs in one basket. Multiple blogs doesn’t mean one has to stick to a single contextual advertising company, recent years have witness the addition of a variety of viable advertising options for bloggers. Unlike the year before 2005, adsense and blogads advertising and a handfull of other are the only option available.

This is what it is like working, I used to have a steady 9 to 5 job and when ever I make a mistake, I’ll get scolding, and when mistake are done by other people, I get scolding for no reason. It is really a stressful life, that is why I’ve decided to set up this blog and make something out from my knowledge and in hope others would benefit from the blogging tips above, blogging is the only way out from this rat race. I am a full time blogger, make a good living out of it, I do venture into some other stuff.

My advice is, just do it.

Top 5 Blogging Tips To Promote Your Internet Business

When you first created your new blog, chances are that you have virtually no traffic coming to your blog. This is in spite of how beautiful your blog may look, or having a well written, rich and exceptional content posts. This article shares some of the best blogging techniques that you can use in promoting your internet business.

Blog Commenting

One good way to find targeted quality readers for your blog, is through blog commenting on other similar niche blogs. If you focused on similar niche topic on other blogs, the readers will be very interested in what you have written as well as your valued opinion.

This is even more so if you have already established yourself as a well known expert writer in your business niche. Within a similar business niche, you probably share a lot of common interest with these people or marketing similar products for your internet home based business. However as there are no two marketers who have the same approach in providing profitable solutions on their online business opportunities or ideas in promoting an internet home based business, the continuous contact among bloggers would always be welcomed by all.

You may not see instant traffic growth, but if you make commenting on blogs a daily practice, you will over time, see quite a big number of bloggers of similar niches, visiting your blog.

Frequent Blog Posts

Now that you have learned that Blog Commenting will over time, bring targeted traffic to your blog, you really need to ensure that you always have good, unique and useful contents to offer your readers. Place yourself as the one looking for useful information or brilliant ideas to make money for your own internet home based business. You would like to see creative and unique contents that you think are vital to your business growth or your new online business opportunity.

Your Blog Title Tags

Title tags are what comes up at the top of the browser when viewing a page and shows up in search engine results as the title of your post. It is also the only information available to the surfer after he puts his query in the search engine box, so it is important to put your best effort here. Your title tag description should include your keywords you are targeting for your internet home based business. It must therefore describe your contents not only accurately but convey a well-written message to entice the reader to want to click further to read up the information that you offer for your online business opportunity. The keywords in your title tag may or may not be necessarily found in your website content page.

Get Feedback From Your Readers

Have you ever felt like impossible to write fresh, unique content for your blog? Sometimes you also felt like you have reached a stage where you don’t have any new developments to update on your internet home based business. How are you expected to satisfy your readers’ demands? Well, one very good way is to obtain a feedback from your readers. You can easily put a feedback section on your blog and customize some simple questions to obtain such feedback that will give you more ideas to write about. However do ensure that you have sufficient people participating in the feedback before you arrived at the results.

Guest Blogging

Guest blogging really means you write a blog post at someone else’s blog or someone else writes and publishes a post on yours. One of the benefits of doing this is provide your readers with fresh articles to read or showing a different aspect of the topic. It also provides better exposure for you and your internet home based business which you are promoting. Depending on how high the page rank of the blog, you may enjoy higher traffic on your blog posts and more importantly to your main webpage. One of the benefits of guest blogging is that you are no longer bound by rules governed by article directories, allowing you more links in your post, or anchor text pointing to your website.

How to get 10 times the traffic from your articles

There are two key components that get thousands of page views and tons of traffic from your articles. Articles using these little known tactics will increase page views and traffic by 10 fold versus those that neglect these techniques.

The first key factor in generating traffic from your articles is the title. Most article writers will slap any old title on the article and send it off. This is a huge mistake, The title is the advertising for your article. In most article directories, only the title is shown to attract readers. Your title has to grab them by the ears and scream out, 'READ ME!.'

To develop a title that attracts tons of traffic from your articles, do some research. Determine what people are searching for (related to your article). Then include those terms in your title. Of course, in a well crafted article, you should also use these terms several times within your article and add them to your listing of keywords. This will bring in readers from the article directory.

But there is another way that readers might be attracted to your article and wind up as traffic to your website. That is through listings in search engines. On some articles that I have written, my article shows in 7 of the top ten positions on the first page of Google. This can bring you many times the traffic from your articles that you can get through the article directory alone.

In most cases, search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN will include your article description below the title. To entice these readers, you need a great description. Your title is the bait that will cause them to nibble, but a good description will reel them in and land them in your boat (a fishing reference). In other words, the title will get the attention of the reader, and the article description will cause the reader to click on the link and read the article.

A good description begins by asking a question, and then lets the reader know that they can find the answer by reading your article. Of course, your article has to answer the question, so make sure the question you ask is relevant.

3 Reason why I earn money from Article Marketing and You Do not

Do you earn money from article marketing or you only spend time putting up articles that earn no money?

Before you start complaining to me that you DO earn money from article marketing and the title is wrong, let me tell you that the title is not for everyone and is only for those who do not earn money from article marketing.

Article marketing is a great way to get backlinks and rank in front page of search engines. But it is not only meant for that. You can earn money from the articles that you write and submit to article directories.

So how do you earn money from article marketing?
It’s simple and you can do it from this moment even if you haven’t done it before. It is a 6 step process:

1. Find a niche (or topic) you are interested in
2. Brainstorm keywords using services like Google keyword suggestion tool, wordtracker tool etc (also try finding keyword questions)
3. Write articles based on the keywords you have brainstormed
4. Find a product(s) in your niche and join as an affiliate. You can find products in sites like clickbank, paydotcom etc.
5. Create a blog or website promoting the product and link to it in the article. You can also write product reviews and promote it through the articles that you submit.
6. Collect cash from your bank (if you did everything well, you will earn money).

Though these 6 steps look easy, it gets harder when you execute it. You could be making a mistake in any step (of course, not in the last step).

When you do a mistake in any of the steps, you might earn less money or sometimes, earn nothing. So think and research properly before you put all your hard work. There is no use worrying that you made a mistake in picking a niche after you write all the articles.

With that, let’s move on the 3 reasons why you might not be earning any money from article marketing:

1. Selecting a Niche Which Has No Buying Audience
A niche is a topic. There are also sub niches. Health is a niche while weight loss is a sub niche. Making money is a niche while affiliate marketing is a sub niche. When you are selecting a niche, you should consider two things: 1. whether the niche has a buying audience 2. whether you have interest in the niche that you have selected.

I cannot write more than a dozen of articles in a niche that doesn’t interest me. At the same time, I can write hundreds of articles in a niche that I am very much interested in. List down the niches in which you have interest. Break it down to sub niches. One of my favorite topics is making money online. When I break it down to sub niches, I list my interest as blogging.

Once you have found the niches you are interested in, try to find whether there is a buying audience for that particular market. One of the best ways to do it is by typing your niche keyword in google search and looking at how many sponsored listings the keyword has. There are other ways of checking but that will require another blog post.

2. Brainstorming Wrong Keywords
One of the major mistakes people do is, find the wrong keywords and try to rank for it. There are two types of mistakes in selecting keywords: 1. selecting a keyword that has high competition 2. selecting a keyword that has very less searches per day.

You should try to find the ideal keywords. Ideal keywords are those keywords that get average number of searches per day with less competition. They are not hard to find. With a proper research, you can find many ideal keywords.

To find the competition, search for “keyword here” in google search WITH quotes. People who search in google won’t search that way but it is the way to find the competition. Some people find competition by looking at the pagerank of the sites that come up in the result. Some people determine the competition by looking at the number of results for that keyword. You can do it any way.

3. Promoting a Product with Poor Sales Letter
I often find people complaining that they have done the niche selection and keyword selection properly and yet not making any money. The main reason for this is the product they have chosen. When you choose a product to promote, go through the sales page. Get into the customer’s shoes and think whether you will buy the product or not, after reading the sales page. If you answered ‘yes’, this product is the right choice. If you answered the otherwise, try finding a product with better sales letter.

Have you realized that you did a mistake in one of the above after writing and submitting all the articles? If so, will you make sure to check all the above three the next time you consider article marketing? Or if you are new to earning money from article marketing, would you make a checklist with the above three? Please share your views in the comments.

Blogger widget problem (section 1D error) and a temporary workaround

As many of you have expressed in your comments and emails, there seems to be an issue with installing widgets using the Blogger Widget API (widget installers).

From what I have read in various forums all widget installers are affected by this, including even the Feedburner widget to add an email form or blog list to a Blogger blog.

As yet, I'm unable to devise a solution for this problem, but I can offer a workaround for those who need to add a new widget to their layout. Here are the details of the problem and a temporary solution until the issue is resolved.

The issue with adding widgets to Blogger layouts

Many of us have been experiencing problems when trying to add a widget using a third party "widget installer" such as the recent comments widget, Feedburner's email subscriptions code and even Amazon widgets.

We are able to follow any steps nescessary to add the widget to our blogs until we are redirected to Blogger's "Add a new widget" page, where we can customize the title, content and choose the blog where the widget will be installed.

At present, clicking the "Add widget to your blog" link results in a screen like this:



The top half of the screen explains that there is a missing required field in the form used to add the widget to our blog:

We're sorry, but we were unable to complete your request.

The following errors were found:

sectionId: Required field must not be blank
While the lower half includes a bX error code.

It seems that the API for adding new widgets may either be in the process of an update or has a temporary error as everything up to this point seems to be working fine.

There are already several threads in the Blogger help group regarding this issue and many of us are trying to work out a solution to the problem.

I will of course update this post when the problem is resolved or when we have discovered a working solution, but in the meantime we can use a temporary workaround.

A temporary work-around for the problem adding third party widgets

As far as I can tell, the API for adding new widgets works just fine up until the point of adding to a specific blog.

This means that when we arrive at the "Add Page Element" page, the code included in the "Edit Content" section should already be configured and suitable for our needs.



If you click the "Edit Content" link on the "Add Page Element" page, this will reveal the code which should be added as the widget content.



You can then copy this code to your clipboard, and paste inside a regular HTML/JavaScript gadget through the Layout>Page Elements page in your regular Blogger dashboard.

While this will take longer (and is certainly more troublesome) than the regular method to add a new widget, it is certainly preferable to being unable to add a new gadget at all!

Your thoughts on the problem?

If you have any suggestions or know of a solution we could use for the widget installation problem, please let us know about this by leaving a comment or sending me an email.

Once this issue is resolved or documented further, I will be sure to update this post with the new information so we can begin using (and developing) widgets for our Blogger blogs!
