ONLINE SUCCESS STRATEGIES, Emmanuel Okello [interesting books to read .TXT] 📗

 

I am sure it would have been a wonderfully welcome experience for many of us out there to have the opportunity of working from home at our own convenience, making money and at the same time being able to properly look after our family members without having to go through the stress of hiring nannies for whom we cannot really vouch,

 Struggling to get out of bed before we actually had the chance to sleep properly, jumping into the next available train, bus or taxi in order to get to work in good time so as to avoid the next query from our employer and so on and so forth.

Unfortunately, not so many of us homo-sapiens have been able to acquire such a necessary but somehow illusive luxury. So many homes that should have been happy ones considering the good qualities, Character and nature of the husband and wife have unnecessarily broken due to the stress of having to perform their duties properly and earn a good living at the same time because of the time factor.

The question that comes to mind here is "how do we then save the situation?" Or better still, how do we go about working to earn enough money to cater for our family without having to risk losing the same by being away from them too long to properly care for them? 

This task and how to go about solving such a Herculean challenge is the purpose of this article. Thanks to the internet, there are now various ways to face such challenges squarely and one of these is blogging.

Blogging can simply be described as having a one-page site to write about whatever interests you and your community. This therefore can be done with a topic in mind as long as it is going to be useful to someone out there.

Today, there are many blogs out there featuring articles and views on as many issues as one can find under the surface of our beloved planet earth. For the purpose of this article however, we are going to concentrate on "how to make money with a blog."

Even though it is true that there are a few people who publish blogs for the fun of dishing out information to the public without looking out for monetary gains, the fact is that most blogs are published for making money one way or the other. For those of us who have been on the internet long enough, this is only a matter of fact.

Now, having crossed this bridge, the next poser is how does one actually make money by just publishing a blog? This, I am sure, is the main dish on our menu today as far as our topic is concerned. I will however crave your indulgence to allow me the opportunity to put you on hold for a while for two major reasons:

One of my beloved kids is seriously craving my attention to help out with an urgent school assignment now or never. I also need to give myself some attention since this article is not only getting too long but at the same time making me thirsty too. A cup of coffee should do some good as I help my little brat out with his homework.

Isn't home based business such a fun biz?

I however wish to let you know that I am not the type to abandon a ship midway through a storm. I will be continuing this article sooner than you expect. Do not blink your eye lids!

 

 

I am back. I really appreciate those of you who successfully did as instructed and did not blink their eye lids although I must say sorry, that you may need to check with your doctor if everything is okay with your eyes and related sensory organs. Anyway, that was just a joke. Let's get back to business 

Blogging to wealth is not as easy as a lot of people out there want you to believe. They are only after your money because they have a product or two to sell to you. But then on the other hand, it is also not rocket science. It is not something that you cannot achieve. 

The truth is that it needs a bit of dedication and some hard work. If you are one of those who has been convinced by those dollar hunting marketers that you can blog your way to wealth without any work, then you are in for a rude shock. I have been around for a while now, had fallen for such pranks in the past and know better now and live better now too!

The fact is that just like in the normal job situation, you need to work for your money. The difference here is that you do not have to break your neck, inconvenience yourself as much as necessary, and neglect your family in order to achieve your aim in this particular case.

 And so, the next logical question that comes to mind is "how do I achieve all these things you are talking about?" And here we go!

Please take good note of the following points.

[1]. If and when you decide to blog for the purpose of making money from home, you need to know that this involves providing useful information and services to the people who will be visiting your blog. That also means that your blog needs to be focused on a particular niche for it to succeed. Niches are like special areas of needs. 

As you must have noticed by now, this blog is devoted to how to help people make money from home using a blog. This can be described as a niche or special area of concentration. You need to decide on which area you are competent to write on even though you can get articles from some free article sites to populate your blog with. It is always better to concentrate on those areas that naturally appeal to your personality.

[2]. You will need to have some products for sale on your blog. Now, you may start getting scared, right? Well, you do not have to sell your own products! There are thousands of merchants out there who are looking for people like you to promote their products on your blog and who will pay an agreed amount of money once someone buys their products through a special link that they will provide you with for placement on your blog.

 Some merchants stand alone while some are grouped under some affiliate marketing sites like LinkShare, ClickBank, PayDotCom, and so on. All you really need to do is to go to their sites, register with them, select the products you wish to promote (they should be relevant to your blog topic), get their affiliate links and place them on your blog.

[3]. The next thing to do is to ensure that people actually get to see the products that you are advertising on your blog. If nobody is coming to check on or visit your blog, then no one but only you is aware of its existence. If no one but only you is aware of the existence of your blog, then no one but you can buy the products advertised on your blog.

 If no one but you is buying the products advertised on your blog, then you actually may not have realised it, but I make bold to say that you need to take some advice and go see Doctor Somethin'WrongWith MaBrains while he is still available and sober enough to attend to you. Anyway, I am sure you got the gist of the matter there.

[4]. Getting people to visit your blog is also called getting traffic. This can be done in various ways. You can pay for this by advertising your blog through PPC (Pay Per Click) and some other forms or you can do so organically. That is, by spending a bit of your time but not your money. 

I am sure a whole lot of us will prefer to spend the time we used to waste on waking up too early for work, jumping on buses, trams, trains, or taxis when going to our traditional jobs instead of sitting by the computer to generate traffic to our blogs.

You can get traffic to your beloved blog to make money by writing quality articles on related topics (that is what I am presently doing as you can see) and submitting to highly rated article submission sites like this one you are visiting now.

 You can also do so by creating a list of interested clients though quality give-aways followed by email capture systems of beneficiaries. You can also engage in pinging of your blog to the various pinging sites available on the internet.

[5]. With the above-listed in place, you can then include AdSense links in your blog so as to ensure that you get some income from AdSense ads when people click on them within your site.

There are a few more ways to commercialise your blog for money making ventures but I believe that the above-mentioned ones are some of the most reliable ones and if you are able work on them, you soon be smiling your way to the bank without even having to leave your bedroom (or as the case may be, computer room) to do so.

How To Make Money With Affiliate Marketing

Learning how to make money at home with affiliate marketing could be one of the best ways to get started earning a little extra cash each month from the comfort of your own home by working on the internet.

This can allow you to continue with your current obligations whether it's your current job, school, taking care of the kids or whatever it may be, while at the same time working on improving your financial situation or even earning enough to replace your current income over time.

It really comes down to understanding how serious you are about learning what you need to learn and doing what you need to do to get really good at it, because unless you get really good at it then you will not make much money (if any) at all.
