Lack of Online Presence Can Hurt Your Traffic

Recently I have been suffering from Window's Vista's technical problems. I have been trying to get my computer up and running again but so far I am having the worst luck with the OS. My posting schedule for not only this blog but the other three I author are suffering, I have been able to post a few updates but not very many. As a result I have lost a lot of valuable readers and traffic. I have decided to amend some of my posting schedules due to the technical difficulties I have been having.

It is very important when you decide on your posting schedule that you are able to stick to it; so I have decided that I will now publish once a week here on this blog and once every two days on my main blog. I will post once a week on my creative writing blog as well as my social networking blog. This will take some pressure off of me and give me more time to build a community around each of my blogs. I hope you will come back this Saturday for my next Money Making tip. Until next time....

What is the value of Blogger forums?

That is a hard question to answer. Indeed when you are active in the forums more people are likely to visit your blog website and your page impressions begin to pay. Keeping them on your page is more difficult than getting them there. You have to hold their attention for a little longer than 10 seconds if you want to make any kind of money from blogging.

Part of blogging for money is keeping your reader's attention. Keeping your reader's attention will keep your bounce rate low and improve your click through rate (CTR). If you want to make any decent cash with Google's Adsense you have to have a CTR that is higher than 2% to get the higher paying ads on your page. Using Adwords to promote your blog will help with that.

Back to forums directed at those who blog. This is where a good portion of your marketing is done. You don't want to over saturate the forums with your comments but you want to stay relevant. Another quick tip is to use the same avatar for every forum you visit so that others will know who you are. Since the majority of your traffic are those who choose to blog you want to make sure that your content is geared towards an audience that does the same thing you do.

Target marketing only works when you are targeting the right people for your product. In this case it is your own brand of blog that you are marketing. Talking with others in the same niche category will increase your exposure to your target market. Always keep this in mind if you want to get the best value out of a blogger forum. One last tip before I run, post on more than one forum because not every blogger will use the same forum and you want to maximize your potential to attract new readers.

Experimenting with Paid To Read Emails

Another easy way to make some money only is reading paid to read emails. I've been reading some paid to read emails in some of my spare time mostly because you do not get rich quick with them. It is comparable to the amount you would make from Google Adsense in the beginning. Some website do not send out a lot of PTR emails and others do. If you have the time some websites will send you 30 to 50 emails a day.

The reason they are not a get rich scheme is because it takes time to accrue money through them. Most paid to read emails have a value of 1 or 2 cents and if you do the math you would only be making $0.01-$1.00 per day and spending about three to four hours of it. You will spend far too much time in front of the computer to make a lot but they are a nice break from promoting your blog.

There are many different ways to make online money. Some take a lot longer than others and some have an unlimited potential. Knowing how to use more than one source for making online money will help with the growth potential you have as a blogger. If you mix them occasionally you can stand to earn a lot of cash but over time. I have not found a single website that can deliver an overnight success. While your busy socializing and promoting your blog it doesn't hurt to earn a couple pennies on the side. Does it?
