My Secret of Making Money Online

I decided to write about my secret of making money online because of the competition over on Net Fool’s blog. He asked you to explain your secret of making money online in the comments section. I began to write and had so much to say that I decided to write this post for all of my readers and visitors.

Below I have gone through the steps of my secret of making money online with a blog. It may seem like a lot of steps, but it doesn’t take as much time as some people believe. If you just stay consistent with these steps, then you should have no problems making a profit off of your blog.

Here is my secret of making money online:

1. You create a blog about something you’re interested in.

2. You find affiliates that have to do it with your niche so you can make money off of advertising their products or services.

*Your ad placement should be the following:

-1 banner ad in the top right hand corner (most clicked)
-6 125×125 sized ads in a right sidebar (left side bars are not working if you want to make cash)
-1 500×500 sized ad between your content and comments

Note: Some affiliates will not have these ad sizes but you can create some of your own and have them link to your affiliate URL.

3. You then write content while thinking about search engine optimization. (This one is way easier than you might think)

Your SEO should be the following:

-Use the thesis theme because it is one of the most search engine friendly blog designs. (It will be worth the cash)
-Use the Google keyword tool to search for words or phrases that you can target that does not have very much competition.
-Then you should properly write the content around the word or phrase you chose. (Use the word at the beginning of your title or if it is a phrase use the phrase as your title)
-Also make sure to use the word or phrase in the first sentence of your post and then use it throughout. (You can always put your word or phrase in a H2)
-Use the all-in-one SEO plugin for WordPress so that you can put in your keyword or phrase (as the keyword) and then add a description. (The description should definitely have your word or phrase near the beginning of it)
-Then you should go out and get some links. Search on Google for Dofollow forums. Post on them and link out to your posts. Of course make sure it is relevant to the conversation. Try to use your word or phrase you are targeting and link to it.
-And then bookmark your post on social bookmarking sites that are Dofollow. Caroline Middlebrook has a nice list of them.

4. Get easy traffic by taking an hour out of your day and posting comments on other blogs that are related to yours. You can easily post on 30 blogs in an hour. It should get you a nice steady traffic of 100 to 150 unique visitors everyday if you do it everyday.

5. Use Aweber e-mail marketing and use the lightbox option on your blog. Set up a newsletter for your blog so people can sign up for it. Then whenever you send out a new newsletter to your subscribers, make sure that you use affiliate links within your content.

So you will make all of your money off affiliates. If you do the search engine optimization like I said, then you will easily have a lot of traffic coming to your blog everyday. You will already have traffic on your blog if you are commenting. If all that is relevant to your niche, then you will definitely have people buying from the companies you are an affiliate for.

You may think that is a lot to do but it is actually not very much at all. It helped me build up two great blogs and sell them for good money. Good luck!
