How to Make Money From Your Blog - Tip #2

In the first article of our series, “How to Make Money From Your Blog - Tip #1” we covered the most popular and easiest way to monetize your blog using Google AdSense. Our next tip is another great way to create a steady flow of income from your blog on a monthly basis.

Believe it or not, it’s by selling text links on your blog. Yup, you heard me right — people will pay you to put links on your site.

Why would people buy links from my blog?

That’s a very good question and there’s several reasons. The most popular one being it helps their site rank higher in search engines like Google and Yahoo. Essentially, the more backlinks you have pointing to your website, the more important your site is (in Google’s eyes).

There are many other factors involved and I could write an entire article about it but we’re going to stay on track. Another reason is because buying links from another site drives additional traffic to their site but this is seen more as a bonus since 99% of people who buy links do so for the backlink value.

That’s great and all but how do I get started?

You could easily build your own advertising page and tell visitors “Text links for sale” but you most likely won’t make any sales (unless you’ve got a really popular site with lots of traffic already). So instead, let’s leave the sales, marketing, and invoicing of your links to a 3rd party who’s already established in this space.

I use (have been for a few years now) and recommend Text Link Ads. They are a well established link buying and selling company which means you don’t need to do anything except add your listing, set a price, and approve new links.

Personally I like selling links through TLA better than Google AdSense because it’s guaranteed monthly revenue. Google AdSense is CPC which means you only get paid when someone clicks on your ad. Using Text Link Ads, you get paid just for letting someone put a link on your site. You set the price, they buy the link, you get paid. It’s that simple. I make several hundred dollars a month from different niche blogs just by selling links using TLA.

Step #1 - Sign up for Text Link Ads

This is the first step for any new advertising program and usually the hardest. TLA carefully selects which sites can be added to their network so if your blog is brand new, then you should wait at least 6 months before applying. If decide to apply anyways and get denied, I’d send them an email and ask to be manually added.

Their automatic approval system runs some basic calculations on your site (blog age, page rank, popularity, etc) which determine whether you’ll be approved. I’ve actually been rejected for a couple of my blogs but when I emailed them, they manually approved them. Sign up for Text Link Ads and start selling links today!

Step #2 - Add your Listing to their Marketplace

Assuming you’ve been approved, you can now login and setup your site. This is where the power of TLA comes into play. They have a virtual marketplace where you list your site and hundreds of visitors (if not thousands) a day have a chance to see your site.

You’ll enter your site title, a brief description, select a category where your blog belongs, how many ad spots you have available (Blogger limits you to only 5 per link widget but you can have two widgets for a total of 10 links), etc. The price is determined by TLA but again, it’s negotiable. I’ve emailed them asking to raise the price on at least two of my blogs and they did it no problem.

Once you’ve added it, your listing will look something like the above screenshot. This is what anyone visiting the TLA marketplace will be able to see.

Step #3 - Installing the TLA Code onto your Blog

This may sound intimidating especially if you’re not comfortable editing template code but it’s simple. Text Link Ads has a wizard script that walks you through the entire process. The only part you need to do is create a new page element on your blog (you must be using the new xml Blogger templates to do this).

Here are the two steps you need to complete within your TLA account before actually going into your Blogger template page elements.

Now that you’ve got the code, you can just follow the instructions that TLA provides about plugging this into your Blogger template. Once TLA verifies that the Ad Code you installed is setup properly, your listing will show up in their marketplace. Then it’s only a matter of time before you make your first text link sale.

Don’t get frustrated because it might take a few months before that “You’ve got new links to approve” email comes from TLA. You need to think of this as a long-term investment because once someone buys a link, they’ll want it for several months.

More facts about TLA

• You receive 50% of the sale price for each text link ad sold off your blog
• You can display Text Link Ads on the same page with Google AdSense, Yahoo! Publisher Network, and other contextually served ads
• You get paid monthly directly to your PayPal account or have them mail you a check
• Easy to setup and start on Blogger

So what are you waiting for? Go sign up for Text Link Ads and setup a publisher account and monetize your blog now. It kills me when I see blogs out there without any sort of advertising. I can’t stand the “Made for AdSense” sites but if you’ve got a blog, why not put a couple ads or links to help pay for your lunches?

Stay tuned for the next article in this series about Making Money From Your Blog.

How to Make Money From Your Blog - Tip #1

For many people blogging is a way to express themselves online for the rest of the world to read. Usually it’s about a specific topic or if it’s a personal blog, then the blog posts could range from anything like your latest trip to Europe or how your dog just had puppies. Nevertheless, blogging is easy for anyone with a computer and internet access to use.

So for those who enjoy writing and spend lots of time doing it, why not make some extra money from it? It doesn’t cost you anything and only requires a little bit of time to setup but the return could be well worth it. That’s the beauty about online advertising programs — they work 24/7 even when you’re sleeping. Talk about a nice passive way to earn some extra money each day!

My first tip is probably the most popular method (and easiest) way to get started with making money from your blog. It’s a program called AdSense from a small company you’ve probably never heard of called Google.

Knowingly or not, you’ve viewed hundreds of Google’s ads online and probably even clicked on a few since they were relevant to whatever topic or website you were reading at the time. That’s one of the great things about this program and I’ll talk more about it further down this post.

Use Google AdSense

Google’s advertising program is free to sign up and you can usually be online within an hour or so (assuming your application is approved quickly). Then adding AdSense to your blog is easy especially with Blogger’s new AdSense widget (it’s quite simple with WordPress as well but I’m going to assume WordPress users already know how to do this since it’s just cut and pasting html). Once your application is approved, just log into your account, customize your ad unit, and copy and paste a block of HTML code into your blog. I’ll give you a walkthru of this process.

Step #1 - Sign up for Google AdSense

First you need to create an AdSense account (Sign up) which doesn’t take more than a few minutes to do. Once you’ve got your account setup and approved, go on to step #2.

Step #2 - Add the AdSense Page Element to Your Blog

The nice thing about the new Blogger is you can easily add Google AdSense to your blog using their built in page elements. Login to your Blogger account, navigate to “Template” => “Page Elements” and then within the layout area, click on “Add a Page Element”. From there you’ll see this screen where you want to select the “AdSense” Page Element and click on “Add to Blog”.

Next you’ll see another screen where it will ask you to login (if it’s the first time you’ve tried to add this AdSense Page Element before). Just enter the email address and password you used when setting up your AdSense account. Once you successfully login, you’ll next see the ad configuration screen. This is where you select the ad format type (leaderboard, banner, text ad, etc) with many different sizes to choose from. Now remember to keep your site visitors in mind when selecting an ad format. You don’t want the ad to dominate your entire blog page which would annoy your readers. I’d recommend starting with a small rectangle or horizontal row format before going too crazy.

Don’t forget to also select a nice color scheme that matches your blog. Statistics show that the more blended in your blog ads are, the better change people will click on them. Remember to abide by the Google TOS though which I encourage you to read before breaking the rules by accident. Now once you’ve got the exact color scheme and ad format ready to go, click on the orange “Save Changes” button to add it to your blog.

Step #3 - Save and View Your New Ads

You should now save your Page layout and view your blog. The ad unit should be in place and ready to start making you money! Sometimes it takes a little while before ads start showing up and even a couple of days before relevant ads are displayed. This is usually the case if you’ve got a newer blog and Google isn’t familiar with your blog’s content yet. Google will then crawl your site and identify it’s general topic so it knows what ads to display. Pretty cool eh? Here’s a picture of the end result. Notice the red highlighted ad unit now displayed on my blog.

Bonus Tips

Now a few tips and a warning before you get too giddy about all this money you’re going to start making. First, never (and I mean never) click on your own ads. Google will know and they will ban you from the AdSense program. It’s not worth it! Secondly, don’t expect the big bucks to start rolling in right away. It’s a numbers game. The more traffic you get to your site, the better chances you have of somebody actually clicking your ad. Typically with ads, you can expect a 2% - 4% click thru rate (CTR) assuming your ad is in a good spot which means for every 100 page views you get, expect 2-4 ad clicks. Translation — keep writing great quality blog posts and your traffic will increase over time and so will the ad clicks which equals money in your pocket.

Other Reasons to Use Google Adsense

• It’s a very simple and proven solution that hundreds and thousands of blogs and websites across the world use today.
• AdSense is by Google which is reliable and trustworthy. Once you have earned money from Google, they will pay it to you.
• The ads will be contextual, which means they will be relevant to the content of your blog. Targeted ads = happier visitors, higher click thrus, and more money for you.
• You get paid on the click which is far better than on a conversion.
• Google provides free reports so you can see exactly how many clicks and how much you’ve earned! You’ll find yourself using that report every day just to see how much money you’re making.
• The ads are so well-matched to your site’s content that your readers will actually find them useful.

How to use Yahoo Groups to make money?

You can make a full-time living by posting to Yahoo Groups. The process is very simple and requires very little effort on your part.

It is absolutely free to start, absolutely free to operate, and is used by many people who make thousands of dollars per day posting messages on Yahoo Groups.

You can send your offers to thousands of people who are interested in home businesses and in buying products by placing just one advertisement on one Yahoo Group. The total time to do this is less than five minutes.

There are thousands of Yahoo Groups covering many subjects.

Selling Products

If you want to sell pottery, amber, Christmas ornaments, or find other agents to sell products for you, write advertisements and post them in Yahoo Groups that you think will be productive for you.

Selling Using Affiliate Programs

Let us discuss the use of Yahoo Groups from the perspective of selling products or services to people who are interested in having their own home business.

You can apply this to selling products or retail as well. In fact you can apply it to selling anything. But for the purposes of this lesson we will discuss selling a CD to people who are interested in home businesses. It gives us something specific to talk about.

If you go to Yahoo Groups at this address and search for Groups in the Find A Group box you can find hundreds of groups that allow you to post advertisements each day.

You can search with the keyword home business but you can also be creative and search with many other keywords to find people who may be interested in buying the product that you are selling.

When you search you will see a description of the group. If the group seems to have people who might be customers, join the group.

Now, of course, to join the group, you will need a Yahoo Account.

Sign up for a yahoo account but be very careful in how you name that account. Be sure to use a professional name for the account name because that is what people will see. Use that account name to brand yourself professionally. If you have a company name, use it.

If you already have a Yahoo Account, get another one that you use especially for this.

You can sign of for a Yahoo account here.

You will want to test the system to learn how it works. So let us give you a step-by-step approach to this so that you can test it and later modify it to sell any other product that you want.

We will start by having you sell the CD called solutions and secrets that you can read about the at this link.

You will get 50 percent of the sales price of that CD acting as an affiliate sales agent for that CD. You can read information about becoming an affiliate's sales agent at this link. http://www.qlbr.com/fulltimeliving/affiliatejoin.html

Sign up as an affiliate sales agent so that you get your AFFILIATE code. http://www.qlbr.com/fulltimeliving/affiliatejoin.html

Once you become an affiliate sales agent for the Solutions and Secrets CD you will have an AFFILIATE code that was issued to you by the distributor Click Bank. We will show you how to use that AFFILIATE code to make money.

Your next step is to write in advertisements that you will post on the Yahoo Groups that you have joined. Join many of them. The more you join, the more customers you get.

Important - Choose to get the daily digest or you will be loaded with email. You will get mail as it is. Read it to see how others are making money and writing advertisements. When it gets bothersome, filter it to your junk or trash folders.

Here is a sample advertisement. You can use it as it is or you can write your own.

Solutions And Secrets To Making A Full Time Living On The Internet Get solutions, secrets and high profit ways that you can use to make thousands od dollars per month on the internet. Get free information by clicking on this link. http://AFFILIATE.POLCHAM.hop.clickbank.net

Notice that we have a code for a link at the bottom of the advertisement. Where you see the word AFFILIATE, replace it with the AFFILIATE code that you got from Click Bank when you became an affiliate sales agent for Solutions and Secrets.

Now log into your Yahoo Groups account, go to the page that says My Groups, log in to any groups that you have joined, and post the advertisements.

Do this for one half hour to one hour per day.

Change your advertisements every few days until you find something that performs well for you.

Spyware.Adware hide in BitTorrent Downloads

BitTorrent users, beware: Your download may include adware and spyware.

Purveyors of the applications that produce pop-up ads on PC screens and track browsing habits have discovered BitTorrent as a new distribution channel. According to observers of the trend, videos and music that hide adware and spyware are increasingly being offered for download on various BitTorrent Web sites.

BitTorrent has grown into one of the most widely used means of downloading files such as movies or software. Unlike peer-to-peer networks such as Kazaa, eDonkey and the original Napster, no central search technology exists for BitTorrent. Instead, links to specific files are posted on Web sites.

While applications such as Kazaa have long been associated with adware and spyware, BitTorrent has not. Until now, that is. Chris Boyd, a security researcher who runs the Vital Security Web site, said he found adware and spyware hiding in BitTorrent files.

In one case, an episode of the Fox TV show 'Family Guy' was bundled with several pieces of known adware, according to Boyd. 'Under that kind of load, a midrange PC can easily go under,' Boyd said. Both spyware and adware are known to hurt PC performance because they use PC resources to run.

In other examples, music files and porn videos came bundled with adware or spyware, Boyd said in an e-mail interview. He suspects that online marketers have launched campaigns to get their software installed on more desktops using BitTorrent.

'This is one of the most egregious spyware infestations that we have seen,' said Alex Eckelberry, president of Sunbelt Software, a maker of anti-spyware software. 'It is a major concern. It is going to riddle your system with pop-ups, slow your system down and potentially cause system instability.'

The downloaded files typically were self-extracting archives that would also install the unwanted software, Boyd said. In most cases, users would be presented with a dialog box advising that the extra software was about to be installed and given the impression that the install was needed to get access to the desired content, he said.

However, Boyd found, it was possible to get access to the entertainment the user wanted without installing the adware or spyware. Simply declining the adware and spyware license a couple of times gives access to the content, he said.

On his Web site, Boyd listed a Canadian company as one of the businesses that send out adware and spyware on BitTorrent. That company's Web site appeared to have been hacked Thursday, with the front page replaced with a picture and a profane message stating that the company should leave BitTorrent alone.

As of late Thursday afternoon, BitTorrent creator Bram Cohen had not replied to an e-mail seeking comment on the issue.
