Putting It All Together | Money To Blog
Over the last several weeks we have been talking about making Money to blog. As this time passed I realized the neccesity of putting it all together in a package so you could understand the entire process of making Money to blog from the beginning stages to the final product. This process takes a little time and costs a little money but the fact is, and I am not trying to be crass, if you are not willing to invest any money in your business then do not expect your business to invest you with anything. In other words if you really want to make Money to blog then you are going to need some tools.
Action – Most Important Tool | Money To Blog
What I mean by this is that many times we get a case of information overload and it causes us to freeze up. My desire to make Money to blog got lost in all that material I read and viewed. The point of this article is to help you get back on focus. One important lesson I have learned is that it matters less what you try than just taking action and seeing it through. Having said that I am going to tell you exactly what tools I think are ” must haves ” to make Money to blog and what they cost.
Traffic, Traffic, Traffic | Money To Blog
What I am going to say next with regard to making Money to blog is not to toot my own horn but to prove to you that I know what is working. If you want to make Money to blog then pay close attention.
I am ranked on the first page of Google for a ” keyword ” that gets over 60,000 exact searches per month. To be precise I am in the 2nd position. I have only been working on this particular keyword for about ten days max! If you are looking to make Money to blog and are not having this kind of success then I encourage you to do exactly what I am doing. You will get the same results. The internet is very impersonal and does not play favorites but there are certain things you need to do consistently and if you do them well then Google will reward that. Period. My reward is making Money to blog, something I love to do! Yes, I love to do both, I love to blog and I love to make Money to blog.
Step 1 : Finding Your Niche And Keyword | Money To Blog
Once you have decided on your niche that you want to build a presence in, it is time to find a keyword to match. As an example my particular niche is blogging for money. So I searched for keywords that were related to that idea. What I came up with were Money to blog and Money with your blog. Good News! There are a couple of free tools you can use for this task. The first is the Google Keyword Tool in Google AdSense. The other one I recommend is also free and I think a little more accurate and complete. This site is called Traffic Travis. I always double check my Google search results with Traffic Travis. When it comes to making Money to blog it pays to be exact in your efforts.
*Note : When doing your keyword search look for a keyword that has relatively low competition. Google and Traffic Travis will give you these stats. Having said that, it is just as much work to try to get ranked for a keyword that only has 10,000 searches a month as it is to get ranked for a keyword that has 100,000 searches per month. It may take longer, the more competitive the keyword is, but if you are patient then it will pay off and you will make a lot more Money to blog.
Step 2 : Domain Name Search | Money To Blog
So you have your preferred niche and you also have your keywords picked. I suggest 3 keywords ( 1 main and 2 additional ). The next step is to get a domain name and hosting service. For your Domain Name, definately use Go Daddy.com . When you are searching for your domain name make sure it matches your main keyword as closely as possible. Let me explain, my initial main keyword was ” money with your blog “. That exact match was not available but ” money with your blog site ” was available. So that is what I chose. You may have to do a little experimentation but just remember, as close to your keyword as possible is the mantra when you are trying to make Money to blog.
Okay, on to hosting companies. There are many out there but the one I really like is Host Gator and there are several reasons why I like them. When you are trying to make Money to blog, the mundane tasks must be kept simple and Host Gator does just this. First of all they have a dashboard for your domain called C-Panel. I can tell you this, it is incredibly simple to use and you can install WordPress directly from the interface. A huge advantage. Another reason I like them is they are very responsive if there is a problem someone is there to help you 24/7. The third reason I like them is that although they are inexpensive their service is top notch. I recommend you go at the very least with their middle plan and make your terms at least 24 months. The reason you want to sign on for at least 2 years is that the search engines will take you more seriously if they see you have made a longer term commitment to your website. When it comes to making Money to blog and page rankings these small details matter. Host Gator starts thier pricing for their mid-level package at $7.95 per month.
Step 3 : Setting Up Your Website | Money To Blog
So here you have several choices. You can go over to our Traffic Generation Tools page and pick one of the point and click products we recommend. These are very easy to set up and will get you up and running in no time. If you decide to go this route I would highly suggest you make the investment in the upgrades, especially if you are new to internet marketing and making Money to blog. These softwares start at $37.00 and go up from there, depending on which options you choose. Just remember you get what you pay for. So if you go on the cheap don’t be surprised if you do not get the results you had hoped for. The equation I like to keep in mind is simply that I will have to invest two things, time and money to blog. Depending on how much of each you have will determine the exact way the math looks but make no mistake, you will have to do both. If you are not willing to do both, do not even waste your time! Making Money to blog is a business. You must treat it as such or you will fail! But if you take making Money to blog seriously the rewards can be staggeringly huge and life changing.
A second option is to hire my team to install WordPress for you and design your blog. You simply send us the keywords and the website Url and your hosting company information and we will do all the technical work from this end. The cost for this service is $125.00. If this is a service you are interested in you can email us at cust...@moneywithyourblogsite.com and we will respond with instructions for payment and delivery. This is a special pricing only offered to those who are subscribers to moneywithyourblogsite.com. You will first need to sign up as a subscriber before we are able to honor this pricing.
Your third option is if you want to do it yourself, their is a pheonominal video series out there called CB Profit Storm. It is a step by step video tutorial on how to build and register your blog. It will also give you some basics on how to monetize your blog, in other words the series of videos will show you how to make Money to blog. Seriously, this video series is awesome and I highly recommend it!
Step 4 : Search Engine Optimization And Backlink Building | Money to blog
All right. This is where the fun begins and also how you put yourself in the position to make Money to blog. I use 3 tools for my SEO and all are critical to your success. I am not saying these are the only 3 tools out there. I am just saying this is what I am currently doing and it has been very effective when it comes to making Money to blog.
The first tool I use to make Money to blog is called the Automatic Backlink Creator and it does exactly what the name implies. It creates backlinks at the push of a button. Backlinks are key to high rankings! This WordPress plugin actually comes with a monthly membership and it is very inexpensive to use, especially in relation to what it does. There is also a complete user guide and videos that make this a cinch to operate. When it comes to making Money to blog you must have a tool like this at your disposal.
The second tool I use is an article writing service for the Automatic Backlink Creator.This service is called the Leading Articles. They write articles that are spun into 1000′s of different combinations so that when I submit these articles to the ABC plugin they are spun into a different article over and over, all considered unique content by Google and the other search engines. This service comes in at many different price points depending on your needs and budget, from $5.00 per month to $97.00 per month. Believe me when it comes to making Money to blog and considering the payoff it is well worth it.
I saved the best for last and the third tool I use is a WordPress plugin called SEO Pressor. This product is nothing short of amazing! It does on page SEO and it is so simple to use that I could not believe it. I mean this thing literally makes the whole process so simple that even someone entirely new to SEO could get a first page rank using this tool. It costs $47.00 for a version that will only service one site. I would recommend you step up and get the professional version which can be used on unlimited platforms. It is only $97.00 and once you start making Money to blog you will want as many sites running as you possibly can. So that you know, you can always start with the limited version and upgrade later as you grow. The important tning is that you buy it and use it!
Once you have completed these three tasks you are ready to put the finishing touches on your blog. As an aside, the work you do with the ABC Plugin will be ongoing.
Steps 5 & 6 : Post 3 Articles And Index Your Site | Money To Blog
So now all you have to do is post a few times on your blog. Make sure that your post is keyword sensitive, meaning that you use your keyword between 3-5% of your article. In other words mention your keyword a lot but please do not make it look spammy. It must fit into the context of your post. When you are trying to make Money to blog your writings must have the look of the professional.
The only thing left to do after you have posted to your blog is index your site with Google.
If you have been doing the math as we went along you will see that to have your site up and running will cost you around $300.00 give or take, depending on which options you decide to go with. The neat thing about this is that a few of your costs are non-recurring like the ABC plugin and SEO Pressor. So when you build your second and third site etc… the costs come down dramatically.
Please remember that none of this information will do you any good what-so-ever unless you couple it with action. To make Money to blog you need to take action. If you do the rewards will be astonishing!
Take care,
