We saved the best for last! When it comes to making serious money from your blog – affiliate programs are your cash cow.

Affiliate Marketing In A Nutshell
Affiliate marketing is connecting customers to merchants and taking a commission. A website owner will promote a product on their website and each time a visitor clicks the link to the merchant’s site and buys, the website owner gets a commission.

How do we find products/services to promote?
The best way to find affiliate programs is through affiliate networks such as Commission Junction and Clickbank. You sign up for an account, search the database of products/services, once you find the product you want to promote, you simply add the links or banner to your website.

How is it tracked back to the website owner?
When you sign up for the affiliate program, you will be given a special link which contains your affiliate ID, so it can be tracked back to you.

Types of Affiliate Incomes
Recursive – You may be promoting a monthly service to your customers such as website hosting. Often you will receive a monthly commission for as long as that customer is paying for the service.

For example – You may refer a customer to a hosting company and the customer signs up for a $20/month hosting plan. Each month you receive a $5 commission. Sure $5 is not much money, but imagine if you sign up 100 people during the year. Now you have $500 recursive passive income. You literally do nothing to earn this money, it just keeps coming in!

CPA(cost per action) – With CPA offers, you will get payed only once for refering customers. You can be paid if your customers buy a product, take a free trial, in some cases they only need to enter their email address into a form and you get paid.

I promote a membership product on one of my blogs, each time a customer takes a 7 day trial membership for $1.95, I get paid $30. Not a bad deal at all! The membership site converts enough “trial members” to “full members” that they can afford to pay $30 CPA.

It is always a good idea to know the product well before you start recommending it to your visitors. It needs to be relevant to your blog niche and genuinely useful to your visitors. Don’t promote crap or you will lose visitors.

Right now, I am not promoting affiliate offers on Bizboink. I am focused on building up quality content and a loyal following. If I were to start promoting products, I would promote products such as:

• Hostgator – A website hosting company. They have an affiliate program, it is recursive. I use hostgator myself and they are a fantastic service, so I would have no problem promoting them.

• Wordpress Themes – There are some awesome wordpress templates packages which I could promote. I have bought many of them, so I know which to promote.

• SEO software – I could promote keyword research tools such as Micro Niche Finder. I use this software everyday and it has helped make me alot of money. I would provide video tutorials on how it works and how to get the most from it.

That should give you some ideas on how to promote affiliate programs.

Always Remember
As a blogger you are not here to solely promote products – you’re primary focus is your readers. Focus on providing value and entertainment, if you can do that, you build readers trust and loyalty and when you occasionally promote a product – you will have your readers respect and attention.

Another option to make money from your blog is to do paid reviews. Basically you get paid to review a company, service or product on your blog.

Here’s how it works

1. Sign Up With reviewme.com
Reviewme.com is a company similar to text-link-ads which we spoke about in Part 1. Once you have joined reviewme, you will be listed on their website. Companies, individuals, webmaster and product owners who are looking for some advertising for their service or product will pay anywhere between $40 and $500 for a review on your website. The cost depends mainly on the exposure your blog will give them. Reviewme will decide the cost.

2. Write and Publish Your Review
Once an order is placed by an advertiser, you will receive notification and given 48 hours to publish a review. Once you publish the review, it will be checked by reviewme and you will be paid at the end of the month.

The best thing about paid reviews is that you can be 100% honest. This is a review…..NOT a plug! There is a huge difference. The advertiser has come to you, so you can be as honest as you like. Remember to always think of your readers first and foremost! If the product or service is crappy, then tell your readers that. If the product is actually pretty good, then go ahead and recommend it to your readers. If the product is good, but has a few issues – tell them that. You get the idea.

Always remember – your reputation and integrity is of upmost importance, you need to build trust in your readers. You can choose which paid reviews you want to accept. If you really don’t want to put your readers through the agony of a crappy product review, then reject the offer.

Here is the annoying part – reviewme.com takes 50% of the payment. Whilst they have generated the advertisers for you, it is a hefty chunk of the profits. Here is what I would do….

3. Also add a Paid Review offer on your “Advertise With Us” Page.
We spoke about the importance of having an advertise with us page in Part 1. If you can generate paid reviews directly, you can make more money and you can charge the advertisers less. make it 75% of what you are worth on reviewme.com

Add this to your “Advertise With Us” page:

Package 3 – Sponsored Review

If you are getting decent traffic to your blog, you will no doubt attract paid reviews.

Monetize Your Blog(Part 2) – Paid Reviews is a post from: i7o Media

Paid advertising can be a great way to make easy monthly income on your blog. Many of the top bloggers make good money through paid advertising.

Here are the options:

1. Text Link Ads
You can join a company such as text-link-ads.com who will manage your paid advertising. Firstly you will need to create a “publisher” account. TLA will then decide the price of the ads on your site based on factors such as traffic, theme and link popularity. You will then go into the marketplace and advertisers can find you. You will be provided with a small piece of script which you will need to place on your site. Very easy to add this to a sidebar “text-widget”

Once an advertiser chooses to place a text-link ad on your site, they will pay the money to TLA management and the link will go automatically into the pre-defined link section on your site(usually in the sidebar). You split the revenue 50/50 with TLA and get paid on the 1st of every month.

2. Private Text Link Ads
This is the same method as above, however you cut out the middle man and keep all the revenue yourself. You will need to set up an “advertise with us” page on your site. On that page you will need to provide advertisers with details of your advertising packages.
- Cost per month
- What you actually get
- Availability
- Benefits

By cutting out the middle man(TLA), you will increase your profits on each advertising space, however you will need to track-down payments, manage the links and keep it all up-to-date. It can certainly be a pain in the butt, especially chasing up advertisers for monthly payments.

I would recommend you do both of the above. Most definitely join a network such as TLA as this will increase your exposure to advertisers. Also add the “advertise with us” page so you can get 100% payment and capture some advertisers who are actually visiting your site.

Another option is to check out related blogs in your niche. See who is advertising on those blogs, contact them and see if they are interested. Look at who is advertising on the best blogs in your niche – these will be the interested folks who have money for advertising.

Here’s what I would do - I would advertise at TLA and use this service for a few months. I would then contact the advertisers privately and see if they would like to pay 75% of what they are paying now through TLA. I’m sure they will agree. That way you make 75% instead of 50% and the advertisers pay 75% instead of 100%. Are you following? Advertisers save money and you make more money. 50% commission from TLA is ridiculous.

3. Banner Ads
You could offer a premium package on your “Advertise with us” page which has a banner advertisement in the sidebar, footer or the end of each post. You can charge more for these banners.

Some blog themes come with custom advertising space in the sidebar. If you have no advertisers, make a small banner “Advertise your company here” and add it to that space.

Most of all, I highly recommend you add an “advertise with us” page. If your blog has plenty of traffic, you should be making some easy bucks with paid advertising.

If you have low traffic to your blog, you will need to build it up before you will be able to attract adertisers. Nonetheless, you should still add your “advertise with us” so its ready to go.

Remember - great content = more visitors = more $$ from advertising. It all comes back to great content. Content is King!!

Monetize Your Blog(Part 1) – Paid Advertising is a post from: i7o Media

What really shocks me though, is that there’s also a ton of bloggers who still don’t understand exactly how to make money from their own blog. They’re usually stuck using Adsense alone, wondering when pennies will turn to dollars. If you want to earn six figures (or more) from blogging, you need to diversify.

Here’s a number of ways to make money from your blog (both directly and indirectly):

1. Pay Per Click – Joining a ppc network such as Google Adsense is probably one of the easiest ways to start off as a beginner. With Adsense, you can get started right away, with very little traffic. Once you get the ad code on your website, it’s pretty much automatic. Related advertisements are placed on your website, and you get paid everytime someone clicks on those ads. The amount per click varies, depending on a lot of factors (save that for another article).

Starting off, you’re not going to make much money with Adsense, but it’s always good to start somewhere, and watch your earnings grow with time.

2. Pay Per Impression – After you’ve built up a decent amount of traffic, you can start applying to site representation companys such as Tribal Fusion. They help to sell your ad inventory, and you’re paid based on the amount of impressions advertisers get on your site.

3. Affiliate Marketing – This involves selling other people’s products or services for a commission. The advantage of this is that you don’t need to come up with a unique product to sell. Instead, someone else takes care of that, and you simply use your leverage in the niche to promote the product. There are plenty of affiliate networks to join (Commission Junction for example). If you run a authority blog, chances are you’ll get quite a few offers to partner up and become an affiliate.

Commissions can run as high as 75%. However, the trick is understanding your audience, and promoting products that they find interesting. This not only makes you more money, but also keeps your readers coming back.

4. Direct Banner Advertising – An advertiser usually pays you a flat rate to place a banner on your website for a certain period of time (usually 30 days or more). This is the type of advertising that most bloggers aim for, as it is usually the highest paying when it comes to advertisements on the blog.

However, in order to get a potential advertiser’s attention, you need to have a decent amount of traffic coming in. Depending on the niche your blog targets, you should be getting around 30,000 to 100,000 unique visitors a month, before you even attempt to wheel and deal directly.

5. Reviews – Reviews work extremely well with a highly targeted audience. For example, if your blog is about music, a service that allows users to download music would be smart to purchase a review on your site. You can offer reviews direct, or you can sign up with a network such as ReviewMe.

It’s best to publish honest reviews, even if it isn’t necessarily a good one for your advertiser. Building trust with your readers is more important than making a quick buck. Just be sure that the advertiser is aware of how you handle reviews, before accepting payment.

Reviews are also a great way to score free stuff. A lot of times, companies will email you asking if you’d like to review a product of theirs. Sometimes you can arrange for them to send you free stuff, and even send extras to give away to your readers.

6. Plugs – Plugs work a lot like reviews do. The main difference is that the advertiser writes the article (or snippet). Very few blogs are interested in selling plugs, as it allows the advertisers to publish a lot of exaggerated hype.

7. Text Links – Text links can be sold directly just as banners can be. Advertisers usually pay a flat rate to place a text link on the sidebar of your blog. Make sure that the advertisers are aware that you’re selling the ad space, and not Pagerank juice. Google penalizes websites that sell dofollow text links.

You can also sell in-text advertising. Just sign up for a network that offers this service, install the code on your blog, and then the system automatically takes words from your posts, and links them to related advertisements. For example, it might link the word “car” to an advertisement sponsored by cars.com.

8. Sell Your Own Products – Ebooks, t-shirts, stationery, coffee cups…the list goes on and on. Get creative – don’t just slap your logo on a t-shirt. Come up with a funny line, or place a stunning graphic on the shirt so that people will actually purchase and wear it (free advertising anyone?).

9. Publish A Book – A lot of popular bloggers are getting book deals these days, and for good reason. Popular bloggers are writing articles that people want to read. Whether it’s to inform, educate, or entertain, a popular blog is likely to become a popular book. There’s a lot of money to be made here.

You don’t have to be famous though. You can easily self publish your own book, and sell it through your blog. The profit margins aren’t as large, but you can still make a decent amount of money, assuming people are willing to purchase your book.

10. Memberships – Memberships are an excellent way to create a residual income. The challenge however, is creating a membership program that is valuable to the members. Valuable enough to keep them coming back for more, month after month.

You could offer something such as custom avatars on your site for a very small monthly fee, or you might create a massive training program that teaches something to your readers, for a very large monthly fee. The options are limitless, but you need to find out what your readers are willing to pay for.

11. Job Board – With a job board, you basically charge advertisers to post a job description in which they need someone to fulfill. If you’re a well known problogger who educates other bloggers, people might come to your job board to look for talented bloggers/writers.

If you find that your blog becomes sort of the central hub in your niche, it might be time to start a job board. Even if your blog hasn’t quite taken off yet, if you think that there’s a need for services related to what you write about, a job board could actually bring attention to your site. Just keep in mind, a job board is like a forum. If it’s obvious that nobody is participating in the community, then there isn’t any motivation for anyone else to begin participating.

If you’re using Wordpress, your best solution would most likely be the JobPress theme, which offers most, if not all of the features you will need to make money with job boards.

12. Consultations – Consultations can be a huge money maker. If you’re confident with what you have to offer, and you’ve proven to readers that you’re an authority in your niche, $100-500 an hour isn’t unheard of. Of course, you’re going to want to start off at a lower price point.

This will allow you to get a feel for the demand of your services. It will also allow you to practice and polish your presentation, while finding out exactly what your clients want from a consultation.

13. Donations – Very few bloggers succeed in making donations work, but there are a few that have. If you’re eager to try, all you need to do is place a Paypal donation widget on your blog, and hope that your visitors are feeling generous. Some bloggers even go as far as to ask for donations in their posts.

Be careful though – many see this as begging. Producing great content that is free, being in a niche that tends to attract wealthy visitors, or having close relationships with your readers will all help to increase your chances of getting donations.

One method that I personally feel would work best, is to ask for donations towards something that would benefit both you and your readers. For example, you could try using the ChipIn widget, in an attempt to raise funds for a new blog design. If you provide quality content for your readers, then they may be more than willing to contribute to a blog that they visit regularly.

14. Build Your Brand – How do you make money blogging? Brand yourself and/or your company. As you build your brand and gain leverage, your blog will gradually become a reference for others who are interested in what you write about. You will begin to notice more and more opportunities that come along, simply because of your reputation for being an expert in your niche.

Whether it’s getting paid to give public speeches, becoming a guest blogger on other websites, or doing a joint venture with another entrepreneur – building your brand with a blog will help to increase your income…sometimes exponentially.

How To Make Money From A Blog is a post from: i7o Media

Businesses want to know what internet advertising has to offer their company. Individuals want to know how these websites are making money, or even how to make money with a blog, so that they can cash in themselves. It’s all very simple, but again, not something that everyone is familiar with. It needs a bit of explaining.

How Internet Advertising Works

Advertising on the internet works much in the same way as other advertising channels do:

• Radio – Radio stations that you’re listening to are playing your favorite music so that you’ll tune in on your way to work. The more people that tune in, the more money they make. They’re able to sell ads based on the number of people who listen to their station.
• Television – Networks are playing your favorite shows so that you’ll watch their channel. The commercials give networks the money they need to pay for the showings, with plenty of money left over for them to pocket.
• Billboards – If a new local business wants to raise awareness of their brand, a billboard on the side of the highway is a good start. The advertiser of course has to pay the person that owns the space (where the billboard is located).
• Internet – Content websites are made so that they can educate, inform, and entertain you. These websites make money because of the advertisements that they expose you to (banners, paid links, paid reviews, etc.). Next time you do a search on Google, or any other search engine, take a look at the top, and on the side of the results. You’re going to see a lot of sponsored listings. Click on those listings, and the search engines get paid.
• Everywhere – Trucks, labels, banners, and everywhere else you look.

Advertising is all around you. Businesses are building their brand, and making money. You’re being exposed to those brands, and buying from them. Companies that want to sell you something (Pepsi, Microsoft, Kraft, etc.) want to be where you’re at. They want to advertise in the places that you’re paying attention to.

Therefore, an entirely different kind of business opportunity exists. A business that focuses on getting your attention, and entertaining you (TV shows, radio stations, websites). They entertain you, because if they succeed in getting your attention, then they profit from the companies who are trying to sell you something, and therefore willing to advertise.

Advantages of Advertising on the Internet

• Huge Potential – More and more people are forgetting about their televisions, throwing away their magazines, and turning to the internet. As economies grow, and the costs of getting on the internet decrease, the number of people who access the internet will continue to skyrocket.
• Global Reach – Getting your message across to populations from around the world has never been easier. This is especially important to businesses that have a target market that is scattered around in different locations.
• Low Entry-Level Fees – You can begin advertising on the internet with only a few cents.
• Laser Targeted – You can target customers who are searching exact keyword phrases. For example, a dry cleaning business located in Denver could bid through Google on the keyword phrase “dry cleaning in Denver.” It doesn’t get more targeted than that.
• Excellent Tracking – You’re able to monitor how many impressions your ad is getting, and how many people are clicking through to your website.
• Cost Efficient – Since you’re able to target and track yours ads, advertising on the internet is typically a lot cheaper – less money going to waste.
• Easy – It’s usually just a matter of signing up to a network, uploading an ad, and starting your campaign.

Internet Advertising Models

There are a variety of different models that advertisers and publishers can use to cater to their preferences:

Cost Per Click (CPC) – Advertisers only pay when their ad is clicked on.

Cost Per Impression (CPI) – More commonly referred to as CPM (cost per thousand page impressions). Advertisers pay every time that their ad appears on a users screen.

Cost Per Sale (CPS) – An advertiser pays the referrer every time a sale is made.

Cost Per Action (CPA) & Cost Per Lead (CPL) – Advertisers pay when an action is taken or interest is shown (email opt-in, free registration, etc.).

Additional Options – Of course, advertisers can contact specific publishers to work out a customized advertising package. This could include paid reviews, or banner advertisements that run for a month (usually priced with a flat rate).

There you have it – the basics of internet advertising. Now that you know all about advertising on the internet, go build your brand, and start making money online!

This list is for your benefit, as well as mine. Put simply, I got tired of having so many bookmarks for my business. Now, I have one.

Conquer The Web

Learning to conquer the web can actually be quite easy, as long as you have the tools and resources you need to do it. Many aspiring internet marketers have no clue where to begin – they subscribe to more than enough feeds, buy overpriced books, and spend more time on forums than they do on their actual business.

This is your solution – the ultimate bookmark. My goal was to create a portal. Here you’ll find a list of everything that I believe to be worthy of your time. I will continue to keep this list up-to-date, so all you need to do is bookmark it, and refer back to it whenever the need arises. Want to recommend a link? Contact me, and I’ll look it over.
