How to make a TON of Money from writing a KILLER Blog!
Aug 1st
Do you remember when a blog was just a WEBLOG?… when it was a daily account of the life & times of, eh – YOU?
Ah,then good old Web 2.0 came along (new & advanced Internet technologies, being distributed by new & interactive ways – i.e through social networks & other content shareable methods).
NOW – all of a sudden BLOGGING just got SEXY!
People love to blog, and blogging can equal = BIG BUCKS.
Some marketers are making huge amounts of money from BLOGS…
Now we have the era of the new SUPER BLOG… a typical super blog will be, UPDATED daily with interesting & useful content ,carry interesting videos either with you in it to personalise your blog more, or just video that enhances the quality of content on your site, you can also add your FACEBOOK feeds (i.e feeds from your wall showing either your Facebook posts (or your friends posts).
You can now add plugins which will enable even your TWITTER posts to be shown, just about anything and everything can now be placed on your blog to make it an interesting & enjoyable experience for your readers.
Make your blog WORTH coming back to each day….
OK, I promised you a TON of money from your blog, so here, in short is a formula for blogging SUCCESS….
Step 1
- Make your content so IRRESISTABLE that people will be BEGGING you for MORE!
- Give people something NEW – each and every day
- Write about subjects that people actually WANT to read about
- Encourage interactivity (is that a real word ? ) i.e encourage people to RESPOND and/or SHARE your content
Step 2
- GRAB your blog visitor’s, name & email address via your opt in form – this way you can continue to build a relationship with them, and offer them your products
- Use Google Adsense ads to your blog and be paid for your visitors clicks on those ads
- Use Clickbank affiliate product ads and receive 50% commission or more on products purchased through those links
- Place links from your blog to your OWN Websites & increase traffic to them
- Create a seperate page on your blog for your BEST offer or product
- Create links within your posts directing the reader back to YOUR website.
- Organise competitions in return for your reader’s email address – offer them your very best product as a prize…
Their are hundreds of ways of making money from blogs… too many to list them all here but you get the general idea…
So what are you waiting for… I recommend you choose a blog from WordPress, with WordPress you can add plugins (functionality) and WordPress have thousands of different themes you can add, to make your blog look very professional.
Also, more importantly – if you make your blog through WordPress.org instead of WordPress.com, you can host the blog with your own hosting company and use your own domain, instead of a domain name that you will never own, with the WordPress name in it.
This is so important if you are serious about blogging..
If your blog is successful and you are able to drive to drive thousands of hungry visitors daily – you may eventually want to SELL your blog..
Check out Flippa and see the sort of money, websites and blogs can be sold for…
Most of all, Blogging is FUN… you can have great times keeping readers entertained and making money along the way
Have a good day
I will be back with another money making tip tomorrow

Why not follow me on FACEBOOK ?
FACEBOOK feeds my KIDS – How To ROCKET Your Business into Networking ORBIT!
Jul 28th
Facebook, the PREMIERE social networking site has close to half a BILLION subscribers!
To put this in some kind of context, if FACEBOOK were a country, it would in the top 4 of the world’s highest populated countries.
The potential for networking customers to join your business is phenomenal. People from all over the globe join FACEBOOK to find – Friends, Inspiration, Knowledge, Love & Opportunities of all kinds. are People from all walks of life are joining everyday, and always will.
Do you not think your business could benefit from a presence on FACEBOOK ? – OF COURSE it would.
BUT, and it’s a big BUT, Facebook is not there for people to churn out SPAMMY sales messages to anyone who will listen.
Facebook is a social networking site – so NETWORK!
The Beauty of Facebook is, you can invite people to be your friends, you can show your photo’s & videos on your profile, you can show your websites and contact information. You can join groups related to your interests and you can attend the many Webinars offered by fellow members?
GREAT, you say – so how does this all help me ?
Well, my business is to provide content such as Keith’s Money Making Tips, but I also write articles and sell products online (no, this is not a plug for me).
How I use Facebook is as follows:
I create a Fan Page (yes, even Internet Marketers can have FAN PAGES) – you do this by logging in to your Facebook account – into the search bar at the top, type in “Create Facebook Fan Page” – now follow the instruction to create your very own FAN PAGE…
Now, why would you want a Fan Page ?, well ok, lets say you are running something like Keith’s Money Making Tips (no, this really isn’t a plug for me lol) – if you have a Fan Page, people who wouldn’t normally find you, nor know what you do, can find your Fan Page by searching “Money Making” or “Make Money” for instance, hence driving HOT PROSPECTS! to you Fan Page to read about your offers, your content etc etc…
So, to be a SAVVY Marketer or online business owner and to use the POWER of FACEBOOK, you definitely need a Fan Page.
Now, lets say, you have plenty of friends on Facebook and you are wondering what to do with all these friends…. you can have up to 5000 friends on any ONE ID.
The next stage is – you TALK to them – either by the facebook chat, or you could email, phone or SKYPE them, depending on the details they have allowed you to see on their profile.
Get to know people, after all it is called SOCIAL NETWORKING! – don’t just go for the JUGULAR and give them your pitch – be SUBTLE, be friendly – gets some chat going back and forth.
What I do is, once people accept my friend request (most will if you have a nice profile picture of yourself and you seem genuine enough) I write a nice message on their wall saying something like ” Thank you for adding me as a friend here on FACEBOOK, I look forward to getting to know you and to network with you.” I then sign it and discreetly add my link to my website underneath the message.
Now, this is a nice way of thanking the person and also it discreetly drops the link to your website or fan page onto that persons wall and can be seen by anyone visiting that person’s wall, hence increasing exposure to your link.
The next step for you is to make yourself some nice free videos (as explained in one of our previous tips) explaining the highlights of your products and to place them on your profile.. people who are viewing your profile can now see your videos and in particular if they are good and of obvious benefit to people, they may choose to share them with other people.
You may choose to share them with other people by sharing them on your own wall for all to see.
It is possible to TAG people in one or more of your videos, this means that your video will appear on the TAGGED friend/s profile and will be seen by his/her friends – please, though – before you do this, make sure that you have built up a relationship with that person, and if not quite sure, simply “ask them” if it’s OK.
REMEMBER, you can make some great contacts on FACEBOOK for the future, build rapport, build relationships – have fun, treat people with respect and offer MORE than what you are ASKING FOR – tell jokes, give great quotes, stories – photo’s, videos, etc, etc, then most people won’t mind listening to the occasional offer you have.
I hope this has been helpful. And to all my FRIENDS on facebook – I love our daily chats & interactions. It makes my day!

Get Paid to Drive Your Own Car – Not Taxi or Courier Work
Jul 26th
Hi Everyone
How would you like to get paid to DRIVE ? Not, it’s not taxi or courier work, you just drive your own car and get paid.
Sounds too good to be true eh?
Companies are willing to pay you £200 – £800 (in the US, rates start from approx $200 a month) a month to display ads on your car.
Getpaidtodriver.com (for a small one off fee) will show you how to get in touch with companies who are crying out for people to have their cars re-branded for advertisers
to display their products and services on 1-3 year contracts.
Your car is re-”painted” in a non-permanent plastiv/vinyl
The upside is you get paid for getting a nice makeover to your car and some HARD CASH! The downside is you may not like being the centre of attention, especially if you are advertising Haemorrhoid’s Cream LOL…
Overall though, schemes such as this are vastly popular in the USA & Canada – and it is now catching on here in the UK.
Well, that’s today’s tip – if you have one you would like to share, I will publish it and link it back to your offer or website
Please contact me here
Have as good day, wherever you are – feel free to pass out tips on to anyone who needs money, all I ask is that you link it back to us at http://www.keithsmoneymakingtips.com

Do You Suck At Making Money ? – Sunday 25th July
Jul 25th
Do You SUCK At Marketing, finding a Product and just about everything else?
YOU DO? Great, that makes two of us then – At least, that’s how I was.
Do you ever get that feeling that you’re banging your head against a wall when it comes to making money?
I don’t know about you but I have just about tried everything, eBay, MLM, selling products on websites, sure I made a little money but not the RICHES I saw OTHER people make..
I even got made into a GOLD powerseller on eBay a few years back selling diet pills, and pills that were designed to enhance parts of your anatomy, If you know what I mean – My customers were getting slimmer – some bigger in parts – but my bank account was getting smaller & smaller.
Now, I didn’t think you went into business to downsize, so I knew I must have been doing something wrong – right? It was not until I went into Internet Marketing that I realised the potential of Marketing anything on the Internet was HUGE!
I know eBay has huge traffic, but you still have to get your offer seen, you still have to deliver content & sales copy that KILLS..What I do now is to use a combination of Social Marketing (Twitter & Facebook etc) combined with GIVING (yes giving) digital products (ebooks etc) away as an incentive for people to join my list.
I have a squeeze page produced – this is like a one page website with space for the customers name & email address, they fill in the blanks because they WANT the free product on the other side.
When they have entered their details into my page, they are automatically sent to the free product download page, this is a quality product that I put together myself in pdf format. The customer is happy, I am happy as the customer is now a member of my email list and will get a regular newsletter from me with interesting tips plus my special offers.
You see, back in the days when I was just a seller on eBay, I advertised, I sold – I didn’t think of the long term, that’s why when the recession came along, my business went south, with me in it.
You need to build a lasting relationship with your customer, help them to achieve THEIR goals and YOU will achieve yours.

Rent My Car To The Neighbours ? – You Must Be Joking !
Jul 23rd
Hi Everyone
Today’s tasty tip is about a new scheme that has started in London, where you can rent you car out, fully insured to neighbours – or people nearby in your neighbourhood.
At the moment, Whipcar seem to be the only people doing this… KERCHINGG!!, can you see where I’m going with this?.
According to the DVLA, their are 29 million cars registered with them and many of which are being used for 1 hour a day only, according to the New Scientist at a cost of £5523.00 a year to own (RAC).
Whipcar sign you up to their database for free, and as an agency will get you people in your neighbourhood to rent your car from you, under THEIR fully comprehensive insurance policy.
Herein lies a good opportunity to let your car out to quality people for hours, days or even weeks, when you are not otherwise using it, thereby maximising the return from your car.
Now obviously you need to own a car of some reasonable quality here, as no one is really going to want to rent a bashed up old banger with the bumpers (fenders) hanging off.
Whipcar is FREE to join, all potential car rental candidates are screened by the company, fully comprehensive insurance is supplied by Whipcar and you are notified by
text or email, if a person in your locality wants to rent your car…. BINGO ! whilst you are at work or swanning round your house doing the housework, your car could be out there earning you CASH.
Also, if Whipcar can get this idea up and running in London, then why can’t you get a similar scheme of your own up and running in your home town ? after all, overheads will be relatively low, as you won’t need to buy any cars of your own to rent out – your database of car owners will be supplying them.
I hope you have enjoyed today’s money making tip.
If you have any tips, you would like sharewith us, (legal one’s, only lol) with readers, please email them to me here I can put a link back to your website, if you would like me to
I will have another tip tomorrow
Keith
