Can Blogging Really Be Profitable?

Having a popular blog online can literally earn you a fortune but also give you a massive amount of popularity. Many bloggers get recognized when they walk down the street. Can you imagine that happening 10 years ago? It’s like they are instant celebrities!

One of the most popular celebrity blogs is Perez Hilton. This is not just a popular blog, it is fast becoming one of the most popular websites in the world. He basically posts all the latest information and photos of what the celebrities are getting up to.

There are of course thousands of other people making a full time living by blogging that you will never hear of. For instance, did you hear about the sale of the blog Bankaholic.com ? It was sold for $15 Million to a large financial institution.

What makes this story special? Well, the blog was just 2 years old and created by a 22 year old guy. He ran it all himself from home in his spare time. But because it became popular, he was able to take a quick payday of $15 Million.

There are also dozens of other stories of people turning down multi-million dollar offers for their blogs. Blogs on photography, cars and other subjects are desperate to be bought by large business and institutions. This is because when they become popular they get a lot of visitor interaction. People like to comment and discuss the posts, so they spend longer on the site and the owner has more chance of earning money from them.

So as you can see, blogging can literally earn you a fortune if you do it correctly. Just make a start and who knows where you will be in 2 years time!

Rewrite It!

Just open up a new Word document and start writing the guide into your own words. You don’t have to do any research whatsoever, just read the first paragraph and write it in your own words. Then go all the way through the book until you reach the end. For a 50 page ebook it should take no more than 3-4 hours.

Next Step

Rewrite the salesletter. Just do exactly the same and put the content into your own words. What you have now is a completely unique product that you have made in just a few hours.

Let’s Make It Look Nice

The biggest factor in selling products like this are the graphics. If you cannot do them yourself, check out the Warrior Forum and there are always offers for mini-sites and ebook covers for anywhere from $30-$70. It is well worth the price even at $70.

Once you have the site ready, buy a domain name and upload everything to a webhost so people can view it. Then list it on Sitepoint as a 100% unique product.

There are people doing this right now and earning anywhere from $300-$900 per product.

Now I bet you wouldn’t mind doing 4 hours work for that amount of money would you!

Article Writing For A Full Time Wage

You’ve probably heard the phrase that “Content Is King” on the internet. It is very much true and all website owners know it. The more unique and well written content you can add to a website, the higher rankings in the search engines they will achieve which in turn brings in more traffic.

More Traffic = More Money

So this creates a massive increase in people wanting unique content. This leaves a massive gap for people to write articles and get paid for it. If you can write articles fairly quickly you can earn anywhere from $50 – $200 every day, literally starting from today.

Just take a quick look on some of the popular internet marketing forums such as the Warrior Forum, Digital Point and some freelance sites such as Elance. You’ll find hundreds of adverts from people wanting to have content created. Just reply to these adverts, give them a sample of your work and how much you would charge. When they agree, accept payment and start writing. Once you have finished, just repeat the process.

Once you have written for a few clients, you will undoubtedly get repeat orders and you’ll find them coming to you instead of you having to go and find them.

It might sound a bit boring to be writing all the time but it means you can do as much or as little as you want, work from home and get back some freedom into your life. Or you can just continue doing your 9-5 job until you retire.

I know which option I prefer!

Earning Money Through Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is widely known as one of the quickest ways to make money online. The main reason for this is that you don’t have to create your own products or even have your own website.

Affiliate marketing is earning money by recommending products to other people and when they buy you earn a percentage of that sale. This can be as high as 75% if you are recommending digital products such as ebooks.

So how do you start?

The fastest way is to first decide what you are going to promote. Take a look on Clickbank.com and browse through the marketplace. Find a subject you like and take a look at how much they are paying. If it is more than $10 then that would be a good product to recommend.

Next step is to create some methods of getting people to view your offer and click your link to visit the product website. So you’ll go to Squidoo.com and Hubpages.com and create some lenses and hubs. This is a free and very quick way of getting targeted traffic to view your offer. Just add some unique content on them and put your affiliate link to the product.

Before you know it you’ll have people finding your lenses and hubs and then visiting the product. If the product salesletter converts well, you’ll be seeing $10+ commissions going directly into your Clickbank account.

You can of course choose to promote other products in other affiliate sites but Clickbank offers the highest percentage payout of all the rest, so it’s the best option to begin with.
