All it takes is little bit of Patience

The number of blogs today on internet is countless. Few of these blogs are personnel, few of them are providing education, few of them are providing relegious information and most of them are created to make money.

Everyday many people create blogs to start up their online fortune. They all start their blogs with good spirit and ambition to earn some money from the Internet. However, most of these blogs are abandoned with failure as people can't see the return they expected. So why do these blogs fail, while others can get lots of visitors and earn lots of money.

From my own experience, I can tell you why these people stop writing to their blogs. I personally started many blogs. Each blog that created is about different subjects. I will not go in great details about those blogs, however I stop writing to all of them including this one. I just gave up. I didn't see enough return from the blogs. Also traffic was not that great. But recently I started blogging again. Because, although it was very obvious, I figured what my mistakes were, and figured how a blog can be a success.

Key to a blogs success is PATIENCE. That is the only thing you have to have from the start. Experts will tell you lots of things about good blogging, but if you don't have the patience, all those good advices will going from one ear and go out from the other. Those experts will tell you that you need to create good content. You need to write about something that you enjoy, something that you know. All of these are right. But without patience you can't do any of these advices. Because it takes time for a blog to become successful and start making money.

Using infolinks with adsense to increase your revenue

Today, I am going to share an idea of increasing your online earnings or make your cash double by using InfoLinks with google adsense.

Infolinks is the ads network just like google adsense that gives you ads to show on your blog. However, the difference is the placement of ads. Unlike google that gives you boxes to place ads on your pages, Infolinks places their ads within the text by selecting keywords available on page.
Infolinks script analyzes contents of your page and based on this analysis their algorithm selects a few words from your content and makes them show green in color and whenever a reader move their mouse over that keyword, a popup will appear showing the ad and if someone clicks on that ad, you will get paid.

This is an excellent idea of making your income double by integrating infolinks ads as well with your content. One more good thing about infolinks is they approve your accounts very quickly and you don't need to follow special tips and trick as you need to follow for adsense.

To register for infolinks, visit http://www.infolinks.com/

Promote your blog

Every new blogger would like to promote the blog he/she is writing to drive traffic and make money.  After writing a blog you must let the World know that you are publishing your posts.  There are number of ways available to promote your blog on google and other search engines. However, its a time taking process and to get your blog a better ranking on search engine is not an easy Job. Anyways, search engine optimization is another world and in not related to this post and I am planning to write articles on search engine optimization in my upcoming posts next week.

Well, its not only the SEO that can drive traffic towards your blog, there are many other 100% revenue sharing programs available on internet that allows you to write articles and publish other content on their websites under your dedicated user id.

Now, what is the advantage of writing articles for some other site. How would I get revenue out of this?
The answer to the above question is the sites on which you are going to publish articles are ranked better than your site, they already have 1000s of visitors on their sites and they do provide link back to your site, thus, increasing the chance to drive traffic towards your blog.

Its not only driving traffic towards your website, the site I am going to tell you will share 100% revenue generated by your article with you. Yes, you will have to provide your adsense id to that site and the articles you published will be shown under your adsense id therefore all the revenue the site is going to generate will be given to you even if the user doesn't visit your site. Isn't it mind blowing ? and trust me this is allowed by google to share your adsense id with other sites.

So, SheToldMe is one of those program, just click the following link and register to start making money and start driving traffic towards your site.

How to get Adsense account approved if you don't have custom domain

Creating a blogger account to write blogs and getting an adsense account to get paid is FREE. However, you need to have custom domain which costs around $10 per year to get adsense account.

I have found an alternate way in which you will not need to buy a custom domain to get adsense account. Please follow the steps mentioned below

First of all, you need to have a GMAIL account which is not associated with adsense account already. If you already have GMAIL account you can use that otherwise, create a new account @ http://www.gmail.com/

After creating a GMAIL account, Visit http://www.flixya.com/ and create a new account at Flixya (Flixya is powered by Google Adsense and therefore you don't need to have custom domain). Remember, You must provide the GMAIL email address you created in the above step.

Here is the detail about Flixya
While creating Flixya account, they will ask you to enable Google Adsense, select Yes and provide the same GMAIL address you have used to create the Flixya account.

Check your email (ofcourse, the GMAIL address you just used) and you MUST find 2 emails in your inbox, one from the Flixya and one from the Google Adsense.

Complete the steps mentioned in the emails you received and then you can start posting photos, videos or can start writing a blog on flixya.

YOU MUST HAVE CONTENT IN YOUR FLIXYA ACCOUNT, otherwise your adsense account request will be rejected for no content.

Once you get your adsense account approved. You will be able to use the same adsense account for your blogger blog as well. Just go to the MONETIZE tab inf your blogger account and chose I already have adsense account and provide the email address you used above.

Using facebook to attract readers

Most of the internet users visit social networking sites like facebook, orkut etc. They are always your first step to attract more and more readers towards your blog.

Once you have start writing on a topic, always share your blog link with your facebook friends and community members so they can visit your blog.

Remember, more readers = more hits and more hits means MORE MONEY you earn :)

What can I do with my blog?

After creating your free blog on http://www.blogger.com/, you can write articles/posts on your blog. Choose a topic of your interest and start posting on your blog regularly.

If you are a Cricket lover, choose a topic related to it and start writing about it. If you love music, you can start writing on music. You can start a religious topic as well.

Its all about selecting a topic that you think will attract users/traffic towards your blog. Once you have created a blog try to write good and fresh posts about that topic. You should try to post regular content to your blog. 2-3 posts a week would be wonderful. Also, you should not post until you have something good to share on your blog. In other words, do not blog just for the purpose of blogging, post only when you have something good to share with your readers.
