How To Get Tips From Your Blogging That Pay Big Time!

Johnny — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:05:37 +0000

Blogs and blogging are sweeping the internet. They are all the rage as a hobby, writing exercise, and even a career for some. In fact, it is even becoming more common that bloggers are seeking a way to make money. Be it via advertising or affiliations, they each have their own way of pursuing that writing career by way of the blog. There is another way, though. There is an alternate way to make a little extra money by blogging. That way is not unlike the way waiters, cab drivers, and even bellhops add to their income: the tip. Wait a minute! How do you get tips from your blogging? There are ways, and if you read on you will see that they aren’t as difficult as you might think.

First of all, if you want people to tip you for your blog, you have to give them a reason for doing it. You need to be providing very good information or highly entertaining copy that makes them feel like you earned it. In essence, you are the web equivalent to a street performer by working for tips. So, like that street performer, you owe your audience something that makes them feel like you are worth their money. So polish your writing, update it often, keep it fresh, and stay true to the topics your readers are used to. If you are all over the place, you won’t be able to build the loyal audience necessary when you go to start asking for tips. Basically, the start of it all is your content. Just like with any other money making web venture, your content is going to go a long way. So to get started earning tips from your blogging, make sure you give the audience a reason.

Once you have your content set up, you need to promote it. Asking for tips won’t do you a bit of good if you don’t have an audience to ask. Market your blog, market your topics, and target those search engines. Don’t do any of it at the expense of the quality of your content, but make sure you are getting something going in the way of marketing. Register with blog directories, post to other people’s blogs, and generally get your name and blog site out there so that you will drive an audience into what is hopefully quality, informative, and or entertaining content. Again, if there is nobody at the site then asking for a tip is not going to do you a lot of good.

Next, since you have set up your content to be useful and entertaining to a particular audience and you have begun to get your blog marketed, you are almost ready for those tips. However, there needs to be some sort of vehicle available to your readers to get the tips to you. I mean if they have to do a lot of work to get money to you then you probably shouldn’t count on the money rolling in. There are a number of online methods available for receiving payments via email or the web. It would be wise to have one located prominently on your blog so that if a reader is stuck with the desire to tip you, he or she can do so with ease and without a lot of time that may result in rethinking the tip. Remember, this is something you want to happen when your quality and entertainment is fresh in their minds.

Finally, if you really want to earn tips from blogging, then you should probably ask for them in some way. You can do so in the blog posts or even with some sort of message on the main page of your blog that states that tips are appreciated and are the way you fund the blog. Either way, you need to make it clear to the readers that you are reliant on their generosity without sounding like you are hard selling, or worse, begging.

Blogging can be a lot of fun, and can actually make you a little money if you are willing to work hard at it. One way of making that money is by earning tips from your readers. There are some things that you need to get in place though to make that work. Make sure you have quality content, market your site, set up a method for receiving the tips, and be sure to ask for them. If you do those things, then you can be earning tips from your blog before you know it.

My Choices of CPA Networks

If you have a reasonably high traffic to your blog, you should really consider signing up for a CPA network. It will give you better returns than Google Adsense(have you got 1c for a click lately). However not every CPA network is blogger friendly. Your sign up request will most like be turned down if you apply for a neverblue ads publisher account. I recommend two CPA networks NetPartner.com and Maxbounty.com They are really pushing hard to get into this market place and you get a chance to grow with them.

How to Become a Super Blogger

Johnny — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 05:04:15 +0000

I was trying hard to find some unique characters from some of the top money making bloggers, and came up with the following thoughts. To become a super blogger, you will have to be:

As kind and greedy as John Chow

John Chow is kind enough to share his tips on how to monetize your blog. However with every tip he gives you, there are a dozen affiliate links or CPC links attached to it. Almost half of his blog posts are paid reviews. Although he claimed to earn $30,000+ per month, he tried hard to get a free Mac Air from one of his sponsors.

As bold and generous as Shoemoney

Jeremy Shoemaker is bold, not only his head (which is bald and attractive to some girls/ladies), but his style in blogging. He throws everything out to get as much as subscribers and commentators to his blog. When he got a free spare Mac Air, he gave it away to his readers in a contest.

As passionate and tight as Problogger

Darren Rowse is the guy behind Problogger. He is passionate to put up around 4 blog posts per day and also countless tweets on twitter. Although he is one of the top earning bloggers, when he got a spare Mac Air, he was tight enough to sell it on his blog.

As honest and fishy as Yaro

Yaro is honest enough to accept not everyone can make big money without lying. He can put up a testmonial on his blog to brag about his coachin program out of thin air, and banned anyone who found out his trick from commenting on his blog.

How do you find out about these top bloggers?

Did you ever ask yourself, why you are bloggin, or why do you have to blog? Nowadays on the Internet there are more than 70 millions blogs, and the number is exploding. It is interesting what purposes do all these bloggers pursue?

Until recently, to make money online was not easy for ordinary people like us. 4-5 years ago it was difficult to earn something on the Net until WEB 2.0 era had came. The only way which could help us in that time was website creating, its promotion, and selling of advertising space.

Today everything changed. Blog fever amplifies day by day, and everyone, who heard something about blogs, wants to have it. So, why? Lets try to make some supervisions.

1. Glory. The vanity was, is and will be always. Whether is necessary to be surprised that people wish to be famous? Look at how many amazing people did you know since you have enjoyed blogging. Seth Godin, Steve Pavlina, Darren Rowse, John Chow… Did you ever know them if not for blogs?

2. Self-expression. Many people are blogging because it gives them some charge of energy. I created this blog because I just want to share of my thoughts and experiences… Why not? And there are guys, who are the professionals in different spheres, but they don’t have another opportunities of expression. Internet is the best instrument for people like us. Blogging is exactly what we need.

3. Job. For many, blogging is a real time job. Companies are hire people to write about their new products and its announcement. The middle salary of such blogger in US is equal $2,5-3 thousands per month.

7. Money Making Online. And eventually people are blogging for the sake of money. Look at Jonh Chow, his blog brings him over $30,000 a month. And John is not alone. For many people blog is a big business. I read somewhere, that Engadget makes more than $100,000 per month. You are probably agree with me, that these people don’t have any financial problems even nowadays.

Let’s create blogs, promote them and enjoy this process, because it gives us a big opportunities in our lifes. So, what’s your take on this? Why you are blogging?

Get Paid By Using Free Content

Johnny — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 11:06:43 +0000

Another income generator that is often overlooked are companies that will pay you for using their content. One program for business and personal blogs, is the Voxant Network (). The Voxant Network is a leading news provider that prides itself on having the most current global headlines.

These headlines cover almost any topic or category that one could imagine. The sites entertainment headlines report the latest movie, television, and music information along with some of the juiciest celebrity gossip. Finance headlines deal with stocks, banking, real estate, and any other industry that is being affected by finances. There are also world news headlines and you can also find your own local news. The Voxant Network gets its news from the following sources:

Associated Press
AFP
CBS
NHL
MTV
The Wall Street Journal

These are only a few of the most recognized sources. The network constantly searches for, and screens, quality content so that you don’t have to. Now blog owners don’t have to waste time searching through headlines for relevant, researched, news and information.

Once you find headlines that will appeal to your readers or fit in with your existing blog content you can then choose what format you want to post the content in. You can use the text player but there are also streaming videos and high quality images. These images are extremely popular on celebrity and entertainment related sites.

The network then pays you, the blogger, for each page impression that their news content receives. That means that each and every time a visitor goes to your site and the voxant content is loaded into their browser you are earning money. The payout varies depending on the content and you are also paid for referrals. The payout schedule is as follows:

Video Feeds: $4.00 CPM
Video Story: $3.00 CPM
Text Story: $1.00 CPM
Image: $1.00 CPM

This might not seem like a lot of money at first, but once you factor in your traffic and the fact that you are essentially getting paid to use free content and they are all passive income, the value increases.

16 Sponsored Review Programs Pay You For Your Blog Posts

Johnny — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 11:32:10 +0000

Sponsored review programs, or paid review programs, are another extremely popular way to earn money with your blog posts. These programs allow blog owners to sign up, register their blog, and then review a variety of websites. Each review usually consists of a neutral, or positive, overview of the website paying for the review, along with up to three links to the sponsors’ website. Some of the most popular paid to review programs are:

Blogitive:
Blogvertise:
Blogger Wave:
Blog Ads:
Blog to Profit:
Blogger Party:
Creamaid:
Contextual:
Link Worth:
Linky Love Army:
Loud Launch:
Making Money from Blogs:
Pay Per Post:
Pay U 2Blog:
Review Me:
Smorty:

These programs are all a great source of revenue paying bloggers anywhere from $5.00 to $500.00 per review. Those blogs that are established with steady traffic are going to make more money per review than a smaller, new bog. This is a great money maker for those blog owners who are only hoping to pay for hosting aka break even. However, you have a great blog and time to post you can make an impressive income with these programs.
