Building A Blogging Empire

I was thinking today that with the popularity of blogs and ease with which a person can make money with them, the average person got actually build a blogging empire. If you create say six blogs at the same time, each with a different subject matter, maybe one that’s a general blog where you blog about anything, you have done the first step to creating your blogging empire.

Next you monetized those blogs with text ads from Google Adsense or Bidvertise, with affiliate ads from Amazon and Clickbank that fit each blogs niche, if you have a product or service put those on your blogs also. Now you have ways to start making money on your blogs that you don’t have to do much or any work with.

Now you start writing good quality post and marketing those blogs to build a readership. You can post your blog links on forums, chat rooms, discussion sites like MyLot and any other place you can think of. Join social networks like MySpace and FaceBook, make friends and send them to your blogs. Thousands of people everyday are reading blogs for entertainment, news, information, slice of life stuff and whatever. You can market stuff to these people with your niche blogs while building up your readership.

Now here is want I think is the part that will net you your living. After all of your hard work making your blogs popular and getting a high PR on Google, Alexa and Technorati, now your blogs are old enough to join paid to review sites like PayPerPost, ReviewMe, Blogvertise and others. You will be able to do high paying reviews and ask advertisers for higher pay per review. You can literally make hundreds of dollars a day.

I wish I had thought of this months ago when I started blogging, but I was so green back then. However, I am going to start putting this theory to the test. I truly believe that blogging, if done right will not only allow you to make a living, but I think you can become rich doing it. It’s really all in the marketing. And that says it all.

More Money Making Online

I want to take my discussion about making money online a little further and talk about as it applies to everyone not just how I’m going about it. Unless you are running a business online, I think the best way to make money online is to diversify. You should use as many ways to make money as you can. Do it by joining affiliate programs like Amazon.com or Clickbank, join opportunities that pay you to read e-mails, click ads, take surveys, or try offers. You make money blogging, writing articles or reviews for advertisers, putting text ads on your website or blog with companies like Google Adsense, AdBrite, Bidvertise, RevenuePilot and others.

When using paid to click ads and paid to read e-mail sites, I think it’s a waste of time if they pay less than one cent per click or e-mail. I know one cent isn’t a lot, but you don’t want to have to do two, three, four or even more clicks just to even get to the one cent.

Another thing I don’t think is a good idea do when trying to make money online is to pay to join an opportunity. A lot of these are scams or just aren’t right for most people. Sure there are some these programs that a handful of people will make money from, but it takes a certain kind of person to do it. Most of us aren’t that type of person. There are loads of opportunities out there that you don’t have to pay to join. In fact there are some that will even pay you to join.

I will admit that you won’t make a mountain of money from paid to click ads or paid to read e-mail sites. But by joining several of them and getting some active referrals you can make some pretty good extra cash. Now couple that with other ways of making money online and you are on your way to telling your 9 to 5 good-bye.

I haven’t even mentioned selling stuff at online auctions like Ebay or at webmalls, Amazon or even your own website.

All in all diversification is the way to go if you want to make money online. Just pick the ways that are best for you and go for it. And that says it all.

The Power Of Referrals

Before I begin with the topic of this post, I want to take a little time to give a huge thanks to Deborah Petersen over at Life in the Fast Lane for a great review about me and my art. I'm also honored that she would take the time to do it. You can read the post HERE.
Thank you so much Deborah.

Okay, joining free money making opportunities is a great way to earn some extra. As I mentioned yesterday most are easy things to do like getting paid to read emails, or clicking on ads, or even signing up for offers. Some of these opportunities even pay you to sign with them. But an even better way to make money from these opportunities is to get people to signup under you for them. These people will be your referrals and you make money from their activities. The reason I say this is better, is because you don’t have to work for this money.

I didn’t realize how valuable referrals can be until I checked Media Dollarz, an opportunity that I’m in, but had not done anything with for awhile and found that I had money awaiting me from referrals I didn’t even know I had. My referrals for Hits4Pay helped me to make my cash out amount a lot quicker than I would have without them.

How do you go about getting referrals? Well, can post your referral links on forums or places people can find your referral links on places like MyLot that actually pay to post discussions. You can create blogs or websites designed specifically to get referrals. You can pay as little as one cent per person to visit opportunities with your referral link at sites like Clix Sense, StormClix, WordLinx and others.

Over at my blog Mike’s Money Rants & Raves I’m purposing a referral trade. I will be your referral for one or more of your opportunities in trade for you being a referral for one or more of mine. Go to This Post for more information.

Referrals can make you a lot more money from an opportunity then you can make just doing that opportunity alone and nothing beats having other people helping you to make money. And that says it all.

Money Making Online

That’s how I what to make my living, making money online. There are several ways I’m trying to do just that. One way is blogging. There are a few ways to make money with your blogs. You put text ads on them with Google Adsense, Bidvertiser, Revenue Pilot, CrispAds and others. You can write reviews for advertiser from sites like PayPerPost, Blogvertise, Review Me, Smorty and others. If you have several blogs you can do the same reviews for each one and be paid several times for one review. You can also sell products and services from your blog. Another way I use blogs to make money is by getting referrals for money-making opportunities I’m in.

Another way I make money online is sell my art on auction sites Like Ebay and ArtByUs. Because of this I have my artwork all over the world. Something I don’t think I could have done otherwise. I’ve quite a few commissions through auctions too. I also sell my art at my website and my art blog. See the links in my sidebar.

I also make money online with paid to read email, paid to try offers, paid to write articles and paid to click ads sites. These aren’t things that you can make big money from, but put together and with some referrals you can make some good extra money or help pay a bill or two. I only join opportunities that are free to join or that pay you to join.

That’s the ways I’m making money online. You can use these same ways to make money online too. If you have some other ways you’re make money online that are free, I would like to hear them.

I’m going to try another way to make money online. Starting with this blog I will be asking for donations to help out an online entrepreneur, me. I saw on another blog concerning asking for donations that it doesn’t hurt to ask and if you don’t ask you definitely won’t get it. So if you're feeling generous look over in my sidebar for the donation button and make a donation. Any amount will be gratefully appreciated. And that says it all.

Excuse Me, I Have Gas, NOT!!!

This was supposed to be part of my pissed off week last week, but the Paris Hilton thing happened and I just had to write about that. Anyway I’m still pissed off about this so here it is.

A few weeks ago I saw on the news that the oil companies were reporting record profits. You get this? The oil companies were bragging about the huge amount of profits they made and this is when gas prices were going in double digits almost every other day. The nerve of these people to tell me how fat their pockets are getting when I have to look at how much gas I have in my tank before I can make a decision to go anywhere.

As I write this gas prices have come down some, but hell it’s still about three dollars and I know that in places like California gas prices are a lot higher, but here in Ohio three dollars is a big jump from what we’re use to.

My question is, can’t the government do something about this? Can’t they put a freeze on gas prices or force the oil companies to drop the prices to a reasonable price. Dam’n we’re over there in Iraq helping those people out. Can’t we siphon of some of that gas to help drop gas prices over here?

Something needs to be done and soon. Hybrid cars, alternative forms of fuel, something that will let the oil companies know that they can’t keep holding us by the throat. With gas prices going up it will also cause prices of other things we need to go up in order to compensate. Things food, clothing, snacks (okay we don’t really need snacks. Or do we). Things may even get to the point of the movie “Soylent Green”, where a jar of strawberries cost a million dollars and the only thing we can afford to eat is each other.

In March there was a gas out where nobody was supposed to buy gas for a whole day to see if that would help drop the gas prices. It didn’t work. I’m pissed that oil companies can keep raising gas prices and brag about their big profits and the government doesn’t seem to be or can’t do anything about it and we can’t either. That says it all.

Paris Hilton Jail Update

I just want to make a quick update to yesterdays post on Paris Hilton getting out of jail. I have to applaud the judge in this case. He was not swayed by Paris's celebrity, money or even her out cry in court. He sent her back to jail and now she has to serve her original 45 day sentence. Kudos to this judge and may other celebrities take a lesson from this. Just because you're famous doesn't mean you will aways get special treatment.

Now lets see what happens to the sheriff to freed her.
