Earning Money

With my resolutions in order, I am beginning to think what are some ways that I can really get my 10,000 visitors a month for this blog. I am trying to piece together a considerable number of ways and I have found a few, such as getting a blog post written on a blog like John Chow or maybe buying a bunch of different links or even advertise on CPC. However, I thought about it and I began to realize that a blog post was the better than a ton of different links. Why? Here’s why.

If you are getting the blog post on the right blog, you are going to get a considerable amount of traffic. But, traffic comes and goes…It’s search engine rankings that matter, right? Yes, it does matter. But, walk with me for a second. By getting this review written, people are going to go to your blog and start to read your content naturally. They’re going to read it and see what is so good about your blog. And that is where the links will come in.

People tend to link to other people’s articles because they like them. And if they like the article, they will link to it. That is how you start to rank in the search engines. By gaining more links, you rank better. Obviously. But, above all, I think that the traffic that a blog post can send is really just phenomenal traffic because it’s on a similar niche as yours. And, the links that come with it just guarantee more and more traffic. But, how can you get the links? Here’s how:

• You can buy a review on a blog. You get a detailed review and then it’s posted and whatever readers see it, they may check out your site. I offer these, e-mail me at jacob@dormearning.com if you’re interested.
• Write guest blog posts on people’s blogs. If you can get a few of these out to those A-list blogs, you are going to get some really tremendous traffic that goes to your site, no doubt about it.
• Just write a really good article for your blog and then send an e-mail to other bloggers letting them know about the article. They will write their own post about it, maybe, and that is the start of the links.

So, try and get blog posts on other people’s blogs. The traffic that you will get from this is really beneficial and you will see a tremendous increase in the earnings. I have decided to spend a little bit of everyday writing blog posts for the sole purpose of submitting to other blogs for guest posts. Maybe if I am lucky, I will get on JohnChow.com or something, huh? We’ll have to wait and see. Blog posts are better than a dozen links and this is why.

I am in the niche of “make money online.” But, so are another thousand people. Actually, there are probably more than just one thousand people in this niche. Regardless of the fact, there are tons of people who are all trying to do the exact same thing as I am and that is make money by teaching you how to make money online. However, the only problem with that is that there is considerable competition. Well, rather than that competition being negative and taking away from your blog success, why not make it aid you? How can you do that?

Comment on other people’s blogs. Now look…I know. It has been said on about one thousand other blogs, but I wanted to take it a step further by provoking a thought. What are you looking to gain from commenting on other people’s blogs? “Traffic, Jacob, obviously!” But for some people, that is not what they are looking to gain at all. Instead, what they are looking to gain is page rank, for whatever reason. Or, maybe they are looking to try and gain some good rankings in the search engines, so a link from just anywhere is not going to really help you out because of the “no_follow” tag. So, what do you do?

You ask yourself that question. You take a minute and try to determine what you are trying to gain. If it is traffic that you are trying to gain like is my goal 99% of the time, then what you are going to want to do is find blogs that are in your niche and comment on blog posts. But, the thing to remember when commenting on these blogs is that you want to post comments that demonstrate your intelligence. If you are not posting with intelligence, why is someone going to visit you and read your blog? I rarely comment unless I can form a few sentences. In those sentences, I say whether I agree or disagree and then I give my reason for that. Or, I expand on what they say. By doing this, people will check out your blog.

Now, if you are looking to gain ranking in the search engines or perhaps just increase your page rank, you are going to need to find blogs that have disabled the “no_follow” tag. Once you have found a list of these blogs, you want to start commenting. I would recommend posting comments that still make sense, but you are doing this primarily for links, so get as many as you can in the fastest time. Make your comments coherent, but chances are, the blogger will approve your comment just because it is comment. When it asks for your name, put the anchor text that you want to rank for in the search engines and then link to your site.

Whether you are looking to gain more traffic or rank better in the search engines, commenting on another blog is a phenomenal way to grow your blog. Sure, other people have written about commenting on blogs, but have they ever provoked the thought as to WHY you want to do it other than just ‘to grow my blog.’ Sure, that’s great, but without a battle plan, you are not going to have as much success. So, before you go out on a commenting frenzy, really decide what your goal is and then go for it. By doing it this way, you can’t fail! Best of luck.
