Make Money Blogging: Why I chose it

My blog is dedicated to teaching others how to make money blogging, being the best at internet marketing, and all things in between. But why have I chosen a niche that is so hard to turn around into being the #1 source online? Let me explain…

You all know that there are a ton of blogs out there that teach you how to make money blogging. You will also know that most of them are rarely updated, or updated on a strange schedule. I continue on as predicted, and sometimes even more than predicted. The simple fact is that I chose a topic which has the best chance of attracting commentators. Why? Because every single blogger out there who has an ad on their blog is looking for the information that I teach.

Because my readers are bloggers, I don’t have to choose a blog to comment on based on it’s niche. You can write about travel, and I might comment on your blog. You would see my comment, and follow back to my blog to find information on blogging. This is the exact reason why I knew this blog would be successful.

You may not know a thing about making money blogging, but it is nothing to worry about. You can choose your niche, and still target multiple readers. If you write for health, you have a target of literally anyone who is concerned about their health. You can aim to reach mothers who want to keep their kids healthy, or elderly who are naturally concerned about their health. If you write for travel, your readers are going to be travel agents, and anyone who wants to go on vacation.

When you decide to make money blogging though, make sure you stop by here.

How to steal a bloggers article without making an enemy

I knew this title would get your attention. I have to stop writing these kinds of articles because it creates stalkers who want to experiment on my brain. But anyways…

So you want to steal a cool article and use it as your own. But if you did that, you would surely have a ticked off blogger at your doorstep with a double-barrel shotgun waiting for you to check your mail. Right? Nope. I am going to tell you how you can steal an article, and actually make a friend out of the blogger you steal from!

The trick here is to not actually steal it, but do a hybrid review/expansion of that article. What I mean by this is you would find a great article by another blogger, but you read it in-depth and realize that there are points that have been left out of that article. The first thing you want to do is show your appreciation of that article before you do anything else. Once that is done, you start a draft on a new article in your blog.

Ok, so about the new article…

The new article would praise the first article, and link to it directly talking about the things that you liked about it. You would then tell your readers that you had something to add to that topic, or you want to expand upon it. You would then proceed with your version of that article.

The cool thing about this is that you will get the immediate attention of the blogger who wrote the first article. They are likely to come to your blog and comment on yours. In addition, you would probably get a pingback link on the original article. Depending on that pingback, the link might be DoFollow. You also benefit from the traffic on their blog that follows that pingback.

In addition to the above, there is a good chance that the first blogger will promote your article via social networks like twitter and Digg. Their readers will also do that because it helps promote the original blogger that they follow.

Go out there and steal some articles!

Calculated risks can make your blog great

Taking a risk every now and then is what puts you into the global success lottery. Without risk, you would die a poor struggling individual. Even people playing a $1 a month lottery ticket are at least attempting to take a risk. They risk a dollar, and have a chance to win a million dollars.

As a blogger, you have to learn how to take calculated risks in order to advance and grow your community. Your goal may be to collect email addresses to allow you to put your brand out there in every household. You may just want to get people to your blog so they can click on your ads. Whatever your desire may be, taking risks will allow you to use leverage to grow that audience by huge numbers.

You may know that I recently made a calculated risk by adding my new forum. The risk is that I am starting all over from scratch with zero forum members, and if I don’t grow those numbers quickly I may end up looking like a complete marketing joke. I made the risk because I have lots of marketing experience, and I know very well that what I am offering in that forum has value to every single one of my readers. I have everything in there from marketing and monetization knowledge, to job boards for those looking for and/or providing a service. You can even find or offer guest posting opportunities on there.

I took the calculated risk knowing that I have potential to grow my site traffic, readership, and opportunities to sell my services and affiliate offers as well as make additional ad revenue.

A fellow blogger recently talked about another calculated risk about ranting on your blog. You may lose some readers, but you may instead show your readers that you are human too and have feelings like the rest of us.

If you play to remain a stale blog, by all means don’t take any risk whatsoever. However, if you want to make some great gains, you have to start thinking TODAY about how you are going to take some calculated risks.

Are you missing out by not offering a contest on your blog? Why are you not taking the risk? The risk here is that you won’t get many entries. But the positive outcome may be lots of new subscribers and followers! Take the time below to tell us and your fellow readers what ideas you have for calculated risk taking…

Piracy can make you money!

I bet you are wondering how in the hell can someone stealing end up earning you money? Well, I will tell you but not yet. Keep reading and I will get to it in good time. Piracy can be a major setback for someone who is trying to protect their copyright and ensure they are paid for licenses to their work.

You may know piracy best for it’s role in movie distribution, and music downloaders being sued by the RIAA. There have been some very big developments in the piracy age that has brought the topic into the spotlight. What you didn’t expect to see on the news that even elderly people were downloading music instead of buying it. There have been reports of parents, not even knowing their kids were downloading the content, being sued for their child’s activities.

This sort of thing has to have you questioning whether or not you can keep a copyright and make some money by selling digital goods these days. Everybody after-all, is stealing.

Well you can…

You can make a fortune by using piracy to your advantage. The method used for a lot of pirating is called Torrent downloading. There is this file called a Torrent, with a .torrent extension, and it allows you to download media from multiple sources at once. When you upload something, you allow for it to be downloaded by at least one more person. Then what happens is that person continues to stream the download for others to grab. If all goes well, it will be streaming from hundreds of sources at once. If it does, the download will be available to downloaders much quicker than it was at first when you were the only source.

If you were to bank on the fact that piracy was running strong, you would want to take advantage in some way. Well you are in luck! You can market your product as something that is so valuable, it should be stolen immediately!

I know you’re thinking “why should I want people to steal my product?” Well, because you need to think of piracy as mass distribution and nothing more. Now I do have to say that you don’t want your money-making products to be stolen. If you sell an ebook for $47, then you want to continue selling it and making a profit. But what about those ebooks that you give away with a newsletter subscription, or as a free download available to anyone directly from your website?

By putting your product in the torrent system, you are making it available to millions of potential downloaders. You will have to view a torrent description the same way as you would an Amazon description though. Make your ebook stand out fromt he crowd with a nice cover, and formatted words that make people say “I have got to download that!”

How does this make me money?

Ok. Now listen carefully… If you created an ebook properly, you most likely referenced your website inside of it at least once. You may have included affiliate links to products you mentioned. You may have mentioned your newsletter, or your rss feeds. Maybe you mentioned your social networks. Now assume this file is downloaded by a million people or more. What kind of traffic, and affiliate sales do you think you will get?

Piracy can be used to your advantage. You don’t have to be the angry copyright holder that grubles every time someone downloads their product illegally. You can turn the frown upside down and make some serious doh! off of it.

How you get started is by downloading a free program called BitTornado, and using it to create a torrent file for your ebook. You would then open up that torrent file, and BitTornado will stream it for you. You can go to a torrent site such as IsoHunt or MiniNova and announce your torrent. This will allow it to be indexed by torrent directories everywhere.

Keep an eye on your torrent, and watch as people start to grab it. Check the directory you announced it at for stats showing how many downloaders there are, and how many seeders are sharing it at this time. Then sit back and watch your traffic and affiliate stats rack up points!

Are you leaving a traffic source on the table?

Free traffic and review once per month!

I am starting an official free review and free traffic post one time on the first of every month from here on out. Why? Because I run into some good blogs every day, and I feel this is a way for me to show my appreciation to those that dedicate their time creating and maintaining these blogs.

Please note that this is the start of a tradition. If I have not covered you on the next month, or the next month after, and you know that I love your blog, then understand that it will happen eventually as I only reserve one day for this post. Thank you for your understanding.

The very first edition of this new tradition will cover Alex Whally. (I know it’s a day ahead of Amercia where you are Alex so don’t be a smart azz about it not being the 1st of the month, lol) Why Alex? Because his posts are always insightful, and I look forward to reading them.

His latest post about focus and planning while creating solid goals was excellent. Although I still have no idea what the hell coconuts have to do with anything.

Without goals, bloggers would die out. Without realistic goals, bloggers would give up before their success had a chance to snowball. All in all, this post was thoughtfully written and laid out. I especially like how the definitions were broken down into a bulleted list with descriptions. I thought I was the only one who believed in providing broken down descriptions in my lists.

If you check out Alex’s blog, you will find loads of insightful, original articles on blogging, and planning out your blog.

If you havn’t yet, I would like to jump off this tradition by asking you to stop by his blog and leave a comment. Let our community show how supportive we can be on this marketing blog.

Want to get a free review and free traffic from me? Post a link to me on your blog somewhere. I often check my stats and follow links to blogs that link to me. If I find it to be a great blog while I am checking it out, you just might get reviewed!
