Do You Blog?
If you are a Blogger I wanted to ask you something really quickly:
Do you think it’s easy to get a few hundred visitors to your blog or website every day?
Well, if you answered yes, then this post is probably not going to interest you.
If however, you find that getting a ton of traffic is far easier said than done, then it’s time to get the record straight once and for all…
You see, I used to think that the reason we struggle to get traffic is because there is so much competition and not enough people to go around! That’s silly really when you realize just how many people there are online every day, looking for what you’re selling.
So it came to my understanding that it’s not lack of people, it’s a lack of service to those people. Let me explain…
When you walk down your local street which has lots of shops, restaurants on it, which ones make you step inside?
Well, first of all it would be the ones that are specifically selling what you want right?
Ok, that makes sense. But what if you walked down another street which was full of restaurants that were all Italian? How would you decide which one to go eat at?
Well, there are two things:
1. Recommendation (friends tell you to go there)
2. Social Proof (you see other people inside looking happy)
So, just like a restaurant relies on these two aspects to get traffic through their doors, so does every single business online.
This means, if you want your blog to become a traffic magnet, you need to:
- Have other people talk about how cool your site is
- Have some kind of interaction with your visitors to show new comers that they are not alone
How to do this:
- Create killer content (gets people talking)
- Add visitor counters, comments, forums, polls, surveys, reviews to your blog so that people know that they are not the first in though the door.
Now, adding polls, comments etc is easy. It’s just a case of turning on a script in your blog. But as for content, well that’s a different matter.
After all, how do you create it, keep adding it, and let people know about it and maintain this momentum for months on end?
The truth is, this is just one of the aspects covered in Blogging to the Bank 3.0 . Once you’ve got the content aspect nailed (which is one of the first things Rob Benwell, the creator, teaches you, then it’s a simple case of following his simple step by step system to attract more people to your blog every single day, which then makes EVEN MORE people from the outside want to know what all the fuss is about over at your blog.
Pretty soon, you’ll find yourself being that restaurant that everybody wants to kick back at with a nice drink, warm seats and good company… capiche?
So why not check out Rob’s story and see if he can’t help you get to that point this year, not next year or the year after that….THIS YEAR.

Your Blog Can Be Your ATM
If you’ve read my other articles, you’ll already know how to drive large amounts of traffic to your blog through basic SEO practices and through creating outstanding content.
But what’s the use in all of that if you’re never getting any decent money from your blog at the end of the day?
Sure, some people do this for nothing but poops and giggles, but for the enterprising individual that I am sure you are, we must look at ways to add revenue to our blogs to actually turn blogging into a successful business.
Before we do, it’s important to realize that there’s nothing ethically or morally wrong with monetizing your blog. After all, the products you sell or ads you run from your blog will be aimed to help your readers, and it’s their decision to engage in them at the end of the day.
So, let’s look at the various ways to extract some easy money from your blog:
1. Adsense
This is the old classic that still holds true for many bloggers. Because Adsense is so easy to implement into your site, and because the quality of the ads (and relevance) is so high, there’s a lot of potential to get lots of clicks from running this simple script on your site. However, this might not exactly allow you to quit your day job just yet, unless you have a serious amount of traffic coming in to your blog daily.
2. Affiliate programs
There’s no end of products you can promote as an affiliate and in many cases (particularly with digital download sales) you can earn a significant share of the revenue, sometimes up to 100% in a few cases. It’s really just a case of finding a good affiliate network, signing up and picking products to promote that tie in with your blog content. The more you hand pick individual products to promote based on individual posts, the higher your revenue will be. Don’t just slap one product on the sidebar; you need to actively presell the product by talking about it, and the problems it solves.
3. Selling advertising space
Just like making money from Adsense ads on your blog, there needs to be substantial (and targeted) traffic to your blog in order for you to attract media buyers (the people who buy the ad space from your site). Furthermore, advertisers will want to know precise demographics of your average blog readers, such as their age, location and reading habits (how long they stay on your site and what they respond to in terms of your content and other ads). You can get this information 
by visiting Quantcast.com and using their scripts to gather all of this data from your blog, which you can then present to interested buyers of ad space on your blog.
These are just some of the ways to attract revenue from your site. Each of the above methods does of course require more training in order for you to reach your maximum profit potential and beyond.

Review of Blogging To The Bank 3.0
By now I think most people in the world know about blogs.
What most don’t know as there is a great income to be made as well for free.
Rob Benwell is only a mere 22 years old and has already made a fortune using this method. Early last year he sharing his secrets with the world in his highly successful Blogging To The Bank ebook and has made making money online a whole lot easier for everyone.
Just over a year after the success of his first book he is now releasing his second helping to wet our appetites and keep the fat bucks rolling in.
I got this book and soon as I could and it covers quite a lot of new information and techniques to adapt your blog to the new demands of the major search engines. Many of the techniques in the old book are now dated and don’t work so well. This is why Blogging To The Bank 3.0 is a godsend.
Also this guy doesn’t consider himself to be a guru, he’s just a normal guy who wants to help the little guys out. I find this a nice change as he doesn’t talk down to you like most of the other guys do. He explains everything in a nice simple manor so everyone can understand.
Saying that when he goes off on one it may take a few reads until you get it but when you do it’s just shear genius. Some of the topics in my opinion could have been covered a little more, then others went into great detail. You also get his 5 blogging commandments that you must follow to give you blogs the greatest success. This should be printed out and put on the wall of every online marketer without a doubt! His book starts off with market research (so that you are making the most of your time) to building your blogging empire. Everything is covered in this new outing that helps bloggers with todays online issues regarding making the all mighty search engines happy.
Final Verdict: if you are out there in the blogging world and want to make money the easy way then I highly recommend Blogging To The Bank 3.0.
Why work harder than you need to as the new techniques are there ready for you to simply implement.
Blogging Tip To Success – Be an Expert
There are basically two types of bloggers in the world – reporters and experts – and some people perform both roles (usually the experts, it’s hard for reporters to become experts, but it’s easy for experts to report).
If you have ever taken an Internet marketing course or attended a seminar specifically for beginners, you have probably heard about the two different methodologies. Whenever the business model is based on content, and if you blog for money then the model is based on content, people are taught to either start as reporters, or if possible step up as experts.
I’ll be frank, you want to be the expert.
Reporters leverage the content of the experts and in most cases people start off as reporters because they haven’t established expertise. Experts enjoy the perks of preeminence, higher conversion rates because of perceived value, it’s easier to get publicity, people are more likely to seek you out rather than you having to seek others out, joint ventures come easier, etc… experts in most cases simply make more money and attract more attention.

Blogging Tip To Success – Don’t Report
Most Bloggers Are Reporters
The thing with expertise is that it requires something – experience. No person becomes an expert without doing things and learning. Bloggers usually start out without expertise and as a result begin their blogging journey by talking about everything going on in their niche (reporting) and by interviewing and talking about other experts (reporting again).
There’s nothing wrong with reporting of course and for many people it’s a necessity at first until you build up some expertise. Unfortunately the ratios are pretty skewed when it comes to reporters and experts – there are a lot more reporters than there are experts, hence reporters tend to struggle to gain attention and when they do, they often just enhance the reputation of the expert they are reporting on.
