When you make money blogging, you’re aiming to attract traffic from the search engines, so you can make money when your visitors click on ads, or buy affiliate products.

Oddly enough, when you’re getting search engine traffic, you don’t necessarily want any regular readers.

This seems counter-intuitive.

However, as 100 Blog Posts Week 3 Update reports:

“Guys, regular visitors do not click ads and never will. If you think I’m doing this because my ‘readers’ are clicking ads, you obviously don’t understand the game. Searchers are the ones who will click ads and if you want to get ad clicks, you have to draw the searchers.”

So when you’re blogging for money, the search engines are your friends. Ensure that you use the keywords which will make you the most income.

Blogging makes a great home business

Many bloggers blog full time in their blogging home business, and earn a great income – much more than they could earn at a job.

Discover how you can make money blogging, with Angela Booth’s blogging bestseller, Blogging for Dollars – blogging is fun, and profitable.

Affiliate marketing is highly popular. Is it the right business model for you?

Here’s a great article.

The Pros & Cons Of The Affiliate Model | SEO Book.com reports on one of the benefits, that there’s a tiny startup cost.

“High Competition – One of the pros of affiliate marketing is that is is easy to sign up and get started.

This is also a negative.

If it is easy for you to sign up, then it is easy for everyone to do likewise. There are new affiliate hordes arriving each and every day. The incentive for the merchant and affiliate network is to sign on as many performing affiliates as they can, so they don’t really care if you face ever increasing levels of competition.

This is why top affiliates look for private deals. More on this shortly.”

Read the entire article, it’s excellent.

Then think about how you can differentiate yourself as an affiliate. How can you do more with affiliate marketing and get more sales?

Are you using Twitter for marketing? Many people are using this site and are getting great results. But how much time do you need to spend? That will depend on what you want to achieve.

1. Create Plan(s) for What You Want to Achieve

Your first step is to create a plan.

Let’s say you want to use Twitter to make your affiliate marketing more effective. Write down a brief plan, with no more than four items.

For example, you could write;

* promote affiliate product X;

* write a review of product X;

* write 10 tweets promoting product X;

* Post 10 tweets throughout the day.

This plan is very simple, and easy to put into practice. (Check your sales once the plan’s completed.)

2. Decide on a Timeframe

Now that you’ve created one Twitter plan, decide on a time frame for putting that plan into action. In our simple plan above, the time frame is a single day. However often you’ll create more complex plans which will take longer to complete.

Remember that Twitter should be an adjunct to the other forms of marketing you do. It can make all your other marketing much more effective.

Want to rely just on Twitter? Unfortunately, unless you have hundreds of thousands of followers, it’s unlikely that you could make a great living using the site on its own.

Therefore incorporate tweeting into all your marketing activities, rather than thinking of it as something apart.

For example, perhaps you’re setting up a new Pay Per Click (PPC) campaign. You’ll run the campaign for the next three months. Work out how you can incorporate Twitter into that campaign, and then create a plan for doing so.

3. Use Tools Which Will Help You to Spread Your Tweets Throughout the Day

There are various Twitter automation tools, and while most of them are quite useless, there are several tools which will allow you to write your Twitter posts, and then have them automatically posted at times you choose.

These tools are great, because you can maintain a presence on Twitter even while you’re occupied with other things or are fast asleep.
