Why Should We Write For FREE!!! Get Paid by Readers Instead!

How would you like to get paid by readers for reading your blogs? Sound too good to be true, isn’t it? Well, I am fed up with writing articles for free on the blogs and just getting a few miserable links to my site just to fulfill the traffic numbers. I was thinking, ‘There must be better things to just getting in traffic to my site for my hard work , time and effort in putting up all those high standard articles that I churned night after night. The ezines sites are reaping all the profit while we get a few links’ That is when I decided to search around and found ‘blogit.com’. This is the site that is realistic and has integrity in its business.

Here is a site, where members pay to get in and members pay to read your articles. You write, members pay when they read your articles. The more members read your article, the more you earn. The more popular your articles get, the more you earn and the higher you rank. This sound fair and just to my eyes. And above all, this organization is not going to cheat me because it has a good management system in place. Half of the member’s subscription goes to administration, marketing and maintenance of the site. Now, that is sound business management.

Blogit.com is very transparent about this and tells you what it does with your subscriptions. Blogit.com also tells you how it spreads the earnings to you through your readership on your blog. Now, that is what I called ‘integrity’ in business and a site that has integrity in its business philosophy is going to stay for a long long time. Blogit.com is one of the fastest growing blogging community, according to the following news release.





What's your blog?
"[Blogit (blogit.com)] is one of the few sites that actually pay their members...And because drawing an audience pays at [Blogit], the competition is fierce."


Have Web Site, Will Investigate
"Recently, a new business model has emerged in which readers fund Web-based indie journalism. [Blogit is one example] in which readers pay a monthly fee to read stories from a passel of writers."

Blog Power
"If you want to blog and get paid, you can subscribe to www.blogit.com. They require a monthly subscription fee. Half of what you pay for gets distributed to those that you read, and that’s how you get paid as well."

News Tribute overdue, trustee says
"[The] founder of the Palo Alto start-up www.blogit.com, a community of bloggers...will be honored at a reception today in Burlingame by a national immigrant-advocacy group for their 'contributions that greatly enriched our nation.'"

Six Figure Income From Blogging?

I just love this diagram! How I wish it is this simple as Stuart Brown put it in his article in April 07. Hey I am already dreaming of a rosy future, soon I will have that Six Figure Income, right? :-) Do you think it that easy? Let me know, will you?

(Click to see a larger diagram)

Blogging Incomes

How much does a blogger earn just by blogging? A curious question posed by one whose first month income is $2.14!

I would bet my head that there are many bloggers making a five or six figure income yearly by blogging. Few are brave enough to show us a glimpse of their handsome income from blogging (even then, I can dare to say that was only a small part of their actual income... I stand to be corrected).

1. John Chow stated his Jul 07 income from his blog to be $12,406.76.
2. Everton of ConnectInternet.co.uk reported his earning in July 07 to be $8,126.
3. Gaman from sabahan.com mentioned his at $3,616.24.
4. And there are many more...

Hey I should be there somewhere, sometime, eventually, I guess.. :-)

Bloggers Who Make Money By Blogging

It is always very inspiring to know that fellow bloggers are making a living off bloggiing. While their earning would come from various sources or ways, I look with interest on their income from google adsense. After a month of blogging, here is my income from 22Aug07 to 24Sept07: Hey, are you thinking that I have a thousand buck from google adsense, I wish! But that was a miserable $2.14! Some friends come comforting me, saying that's not bad for a start. Thanks buddies. But I am a bit more ambitious than that. How can I not be, when I see this!:

No, you are not seeing an altered image, you can check him out at this here. Better still download his testimony from this link.

Matt Callen is actually synonymed with HyperVRE in the internet. HyperVRE was created after he realised that there were just too many people who fail to capitalize on the zillion adsense market globally. Here is what he has to say, "It seems like everyday I read posts in marketing forums about how hard it is to make money with AdSense. Now - I don't want to sound like a grouch here... but to be honest with you, I've started to develop a little pet peeve towards posts like this." So out come this super duper software called HyperVRE - a software that helps to Generate THOUSANDS of fresh, unique content-rich webpages from highly-targeted keyword lists. And also helps to insert your unique Google™ AdSense ads on each and every page, by using 3 Adsense code blocks which are integrated into each page you will maximize your clickthrough rates. Besides, it also use a perfect linking structure to ensure all of your web pages get indexed quickly into the search engines.

More Readers For Your Blog

Most of us start blogging to freely express our opinion and understanding of the things we feel passionate about. In the process, blogging beginners who wish to make some money online by blogging know that more readers to read your blog would be the key to money making. BlogRush is a free service that was created to help bloggers solve precisely this No.1 need. By adding the BlogRush Widget to a blog, a blogger can get instant distribution for their latest blog post titles across a network of related blogs. BlogRush users earn "syndication credits" (the right to have their blog post titles shown inside a widget on another related blog) based on their own traffic (loads of the widget) as well as the traffic of other users they refer to BlogRush. Users can automatically refer others to BlogRush via special links on the widget, as well as through the promotion of a special referral URL they are given.

There is Money in Blogging

There is money to be made in blogging. In 1999, a web site called Blogger (www.blogger.com) was launched, offering free blogging to anyone. Blogger provided both the blog platform and hosting space for the bloggers for free. Immediately, millions of people logged on and started creating blogs. The world largest diaries or log books is launched. "Blog' was the word of the year in 2004, the year that marked the turning point for blogs as one of the most sought after media formats for both bloggers and advertisers. The search engines like Google love blogs.

Blogs are the first source of information for breaking events, news and innovations. Bloggers are able to publish text, pictures, audio and video on the spot, instantly, being the first to do so and faster than the print or Television where editing work have to be done first.

Advertisers look for blogs to market and promote their businesses. They are always looking out for creative bloggers to write on a variety of topics such as sex, love, health, education, food and digital technology such as digital photography. So there you are, I have just given you a hint on a world of opportunities to blogging for money.

Those who are interested in blogging for money, here are some useful links where these mediators for advertisers are sourcing for bloggers like you to write articles for them.
Go to jobs problogger for assignment jobs if you like. There is a host of other sites looking for bloggers to write on a variety of subjects. There is money to be made in writing.

My Preferred Affiliate Programs

Friends and visitors who come to my blog often asked me this question: "What is your recommendation of affiliate programs?" While I refer them to my earlier post, I know what they are actually asking is which affiliate programs do I recommend. It would be very difficult indeed to answer them if they were to ask what is my one best recommended affiliate program, because there is theoretically more than thousand excellent affiliate programs. Perhaps, I would rather show them my preferred affiliate programs.

In this post I would like to share my recommendation of one of my favourite affiliate programs: It is what I called "Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet - Version 2007 system" by Derek Gehl. My one important criteria for recommending affiliate programs is "Would I use them myself?". In actual fact, I have been using this system constantly since the first day!


The very first time when I received the fedex package of this system, I was pleasantly surprised with what was included in it. The first thing I noticed was the inclusion of a 2' x 3' poster which was titled "You're Only 10 Steps Away From Internet Riches". We need a road map to guide us from point A to point B in our life, quite similarly to a road map from one destination to another.

And here are the 10 steps:

• Step 3: Set Up Your Online Store!

• Step 7: Find MORE products For Your Customers!


• Step 8: Get Other People To Sell For You!


• Step 9: Build A Bigger Business!


• Step 10: Use Hot New Tools To Create A Buzz!

There is also a Quick Start Guide booklet that underline all the steps in brief. This Quick Start Guide actually helps you find the full detail of the steps in the TWO 8" x 11" full-coloured, three ring binders containing 800+ pages, broken down into 64 easy-to-follow lessons. With this guidance, "Insider Secrets" walks both Internet newbies AND seasoned website owners through how to start, grow, and promote a wildly profitable e-business step-by-step.

Subscribers will also receive step-by-step instruction on:

2. How to develop a brand new product (for FREE!) in less than 2 weeks!


3. Secrets to growing an opt-in list like crazy -- even on websites that get almost NO traffic!


4. A little-known, one-minute salescopy trick that can increase online sales by up to 714%... or more!


5. The #1 research tool for finding NEW lucrative business ideas absolutely NO e-business owner can afford to be without... and how to access it for FREE, and MUCH MORE.....

There are also SUPER BONUS items like:

1. A CD containing Derek Gehl's private Rolodex of 267 'must-have' tools and resources!

Blogging For Money - JohnCow.com Way!

I just stumble upon this interesting blog - http://www.johncow.com/. It seems that these guys cleverly spoofed off from the famous JohnChow.com and get piggybacking off the success of his website http://www.johnchow.com/. This only shows that if we are creative and willing to explore a bit, we are able to come out with ideas, (original or not) to start blogging and making some money online (US1,334.55 in Agu 07 for JohnCow.com). That's not so bad an amount for a part time job for them.

Blogging For Money - Another Option

If you are into blogging, chances are you have to write quite a fair bit. The more you write the more ideas come into your mind (you will need to have some form of ideas organiser - hey, this is an idea of a new post, is it?). In which you must have polish of skill of writing and publishing. And why not use such skill to write reviews or reports on products or services. One way to get people to ask you to write reports or reviews is by signing up with Blogsvertise. Their Advertisers want YOU to mention and talk about their websites products and services in your blogs and journals. They want the publicity, the exposure, the Buzz! that online bloggers and internet journals can generate for their web site products and services.

Blogging For Money

Once you have great content in your blog, the next thing is how to monetize your blog. Adsense seems to be the naturally choice for many of us and in fact, blogger.com makes it so much easier to add adsense into your blog, which is excellent.

However I am sharing on an unique method employed by many great bloggers, that is to have spaces for advertisers to place advertisements on your blog, thereby generating revenue for you. This is easy say than done. Well there is at least one way to do so, that is to write review of great products or services (again, remember you need to search for popular topics to write on, solutions to people's problems).

Here is an example: To generate revenue, bloggers are constantly looking for advertisers, advertisers are looking for bloggers who can help them propagate their products or services, bloggers who have large group of readers or followers, or who have very high volume of traffics to their blogs. Along came this genius idea of advertlets (cleverly rhymed with effortless).

Advertiser + Bloggers = Advertlets

Advertisers are able to target based on demographical, social behaviour and actual needs. Bloggers with great content can then connect advertisers to their readers, a win-win situation indeed.

Blogging For Money

Most of the newbies would think that it will attract swarms of people to come to your blog if you write something on making money online. If statistics will show this is farthest from the truth. There are tooooo many such web sites competing with each other. My earlier post mention that CONTENT is still the most important thing in the blog.

CONTENT is something that you must feel passionate about to write, rant or just spilt out of your mouth, so to speak. And in order to attract search engines to link to your blog (with all SEO done in place of course), you need to write on topics that people want to read, seeking to find solutions to their problems. Subject matters, those subject matters that people are talking about, searching for will prove to be trafffic-drawers. CONTENT in a blog is KING. Here I find fellow blogger www.sabahan.com 's tips a great help, "Where To Find Popular Subjects That You Can Write In Your Blog?"

That is a sound advice for any one intending to start blogging and talk about monetize the blog later.

Blogging For Money?

Most of the people would think that blogging is only for writing journals, expressing their views, ranting their frustrations or disappointment or in some cases, "I must blog because every body is blogging"! For some, the idea of making money from blogging is always at the back of the mind. The question is how many people are actually making money online by just blogging? I don't think there is an actual statistic to show this fact. A search online would show that there are quite a number of people who actually are doing very well indeed, for example, Mr. John Chow, Mr. Steve Pavlina, and many others. There also many other blogging sites that offer tips on how to make money online.

This is what my internet guru Mr. Derek Gehl has to say about blogging for dollars:

• After compiling an entire year's worth of case studies and test results -- and investing over $79,583.28 -- we've finally developed a bullet-proof system that allows practically anyone to claim a #1 ranking in Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and more!
  Over the last year, our team of Internet marketing specialists have been hard at work in our testing labs developing a system anyone can use to make money with free blogging technology, called "Blogging For Dollars."
