It is the new age of the entrepreneur and many have considered starting or have already started a computer home based business. The time is right. As many employees are suffering pay cuts and job losses, previously retired men and women are looking for other blog sources of income to replace their lost retirement funds, and the internet economy is becoming more and more powerful, the home business trend continues to rise. There are sure ways to make money blogging, that is the best gift you can give yourself. If you are looking for mentoring program for online money making, you can join program by yaro, who is making lot of money online. There are also resources such as cloud living or 31 days to better blog (31 dbb) would help.

In order to succeed in your business, you need three basic things: a thorough understanding of your target market, a product/service that will appeal to this target market, and a means of getting your product/service in front of your target market. The concepts are simple enough. Achieving the concepts can be frustrating and time-consuming but you can do it with a lot of patience and the willingness to learn and to fail sometimes (or often). Many believe that the only difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is persistence despite obstacles or hardships which are sure to come your way at some time or another. Expect them. Deal with them by writing tips and ideas in planner.And move past them by thinking a solution for it.

Getting an website or blog for your business is great idea as well, you can set up web hosting. I am using bluehost hosting this web site. Also you may want to incorporate your business to start a corporation and LLC, via legal zoom as we used it.

How do you stay dedicated to your computer home based business? There are many factors that can keep you focused. It’s extremely important that you know what you want and you have set long-term, short-term and mid-term goals to achieve your final goal. These goals may have to be shifted and adjusted along the way but you need a place to start. Keeping your goals in mind keeps you from being side-tracked or discouraged. It keeps your eyes in the future rather than the past or present.

While it’s not absolutely necessary, it makes things much easier if you have a passion for what you do, your products and/or services. This can keep you going even on the worst of days. If you lack the passion, you might find your work to be tedious or boring while if you genuinely like what you do, you will not need to be pushed to work on it.

Believe in yourself is essential. It doesn’t matter whether you are new to certain home business strategies or not. What is important is whether you believe you can achieve what you want to do. If you believe, you can achieve.

Make sure that you are organized. Organization saves time and keeps you on track with your goals. Time-management fits into this as well. Make sure that you have a clear plan of what you can do each day to grow your business. It might be a bit overwhelming at first but you will soon see that your plans become habits towards effective business building.

Finally, never give up. Much easier said than done. If money is your problem, work on the many activities that you can do to promote your computer home based business without spending a dime. If time is your problem, consider getting others to help you or just work on your business when you can. Remember that your persistence is what will determine your success.

How to Get Adsense Conversion or Choosing Best Keywords

All in the Keywords

Most online marketers are familiar with Google Adsense which is a Pay-Per Click (PPC) service. Every time someone clicks on an Adsense advertisement on your blog or website, you are paid a portion of the revenue which Google collects from the advertiser. But do you know how it all works and how you can make more money with it? How is your Adsense conversion?

How well you do with Adsense all depends on how well you are using your keywords. All you need to do is find the keywords that bring in more revenue per click. Sounds simple enough but you need to do a little research to get these keywords.

While getting a lot of traffic will get you more impressions of your Adsense ads, you also want to get more clicks. There are several things that you can do to increase clicks. First of all, make sure that your ads are placed in a prime location where visitors will see them. Next, make sure you don’t have too many other links on your pages that visitors might be tempted to click rather than clicking on the Adsense ad. You can also change the graphics/style of your Adsense ads to make them more appealing to the eye and/or to fit better along with your blog or website theme.

But the real determiners of your Adsense conversion are the keywords that you use. One reason that Adsense is so popular is that you aren’t just randomly shooting your ads to millions who don’t care at all what you are promoting. When you able to customize an ad for your target audience based on where they find the ad and what they are interested in, your conversion rates will increase.

Google can evaluate what your site visitor would be interested in based on the content/keywords that your website/blog contains. When used in the right way, this can be more powerful and effective than the biggest, loudest, most popular commercials on television.

It’s important to keep in mind that the costliest clicks are not necessarily the best ones in terms of conversion. Although you can find some keywords that pay $40 to $50 per click, you really won’t earn very much if no one is clicking on them anyway. So, it’s better to seek out the keywords and keyword phrases that people are often clicking on. There are many free tools that you can use to find these words. Google Trends or the Google Adwords Keyword Tool are just a couple.

Just as important is finding the highest converting keywords. Your goal is to find the keywords that effectively balance the quality of the keyword (in terms of offering a decent payout per click) and a high possibility that people will click on it. When you hit that right optimized balance, your Adsense conversion rates will increase dramatically.

Ways to Make Money Blogging

Make money blogging has become very popular in the internet. There are many service which you can use to make money blogging. There are many kinds of service in the internet and I’ve tried quite of them. In this article, I will tell you what kind of service you should register in order to make some money with your blog.

1. Google AdSense
Google AdSense is the best PPC (Pay-Per-Click) ad network to make money blogging. It has the highest pay out rate compare with other PPC program. Besides, it displays advertisement by tracking your blog content and keywords. Sign up for an account and wait for Google’s approval. After that, you can paste your code into your blog and start monetize with it! It is as easy as pie.

2. BidVertiser
I highly recommend this PPC program. It works same as AdSense, but its main advantage over Adsense is it allows low payout at only $10 which means you need to make $10 in order to get paid. It also offers a nice revenue share. When a user signs up as a publisher and makes the first $10, Bidvertiser will credit your account with $10. When that same publisher earns $50, you will be credited with an additional $40.

3. Kontera
Maybe you will not so familiar with this program, but it is also a profitable PPC ad program. Unlike AdSense and BidVertiser, Kontera provide in-text ads, meaning that the advertisement is shown in your content. If you notice my blog, some keywords are double underlined. When you point to it, it will display a box-like pop up. That’s Kontera. I realize that this is a good way to make money blogging. It can increase your passive income as well.

4. ClickBank

When your blog has more than 100 targeted readers per day or above, you may start making money blogging via affiliate marketing. For instant, you can sign up an affiliate program called ClickBank. The main reason I highly recommend ClickBank is because you may earn up to 75% commission per sale you make. Besides, there are more than 10,000 products that you can promote in your sites!

These 4 programs are the basic services you need to have in order to make money blogging. To increase your clicks and sales, you will need to spend more time on increase traffic. You will not get any clicks and sales if you have no traffic. Traffic will give you visitors. Content will determine whether your visitors will become your readers. This is also important.

How to Make Money With Amazon

Amazon is one of the best affiliate for many people who want to promote products and make money on side. If you are on hubpages, (or not), you can join amazon as an affiliate. It is very easy to do so by providing your email and login to to get tracking id. If you are using Hubpages to promote you site, I will show a few ways to make money via Amazon on Hubpages as well.

Update Note: If you are in USA, Amazon have removed its affiliates program in several states, such as California, Illinois, Colorado and others due to government Tax issues.

How to Get Signed up for Amazon:

  1. Sign up for an Amazon Associates account here.
  2. Then of course, sign in to your account.
  3. Click on “Build Links”. You will also see your tracking code, ending in -20.
  4. You can create text link, image link or combine text and image link and place it on your site.
  5. If you are Hubpages it is easy, just go to earning section on your own account and configure your amazon account by adding your unique tracking id for amazon. You are allowed to have up to 200 such tracking id for unit.
  6. In Hubpages, when you are writing hubs just go add an amazon capsule and you can use simple keyword to get amazon listing such as “books” or “cookbooks”. Or you can do specific product by getting its original ISBN from amazon.
  7. Once you have amazon capsule ready, and write about the subject or the product and publish.
  8. Do linkbuilding and add it to social media such as twitter or stumble upon and wait. Sometimes waiting for amazon earning can take some time but it happens. I got my first amazon sell in about 3.5 weeks, it was thrilling.

Current Status of Amazon on HP:

Right now amazon on Hubpages might be in limbo as they are being in California and Amazon has nixed all california affiliates, including myself. However, right now Hubpages is working with Amazon and other people who are not affected with a few US states, still continues to make money with Amazon, so this might be still a useful subject for those who are in other states or countries. It is also good for those who have their own websites along with hubpages.

Tips on Making Most out Amazon Affiliate Program:

I had been most successful with amazon prior to nixing California Affiliates, I was making some decent money with my cooking and cookware blog. Nothing to retire on, but it was increasing. Now, I can not use many tips but I want to make sure others can use it and make money by using this time trying tips that has worked for me and others.

  • Amazon always works best when you are doing specific product review type of post or hub. Let’s suppose you are writing, how to buy a best cast iron cookware, and you can write a review based on the product.
  • Choose a product that has 4 or 5 star ratings.
  • Choose a product that has at least 30 customer reviews on amazon.
  • Amazon also has a “bestseller” category for each products subject so go through it and pick the one of top seller products.
  • Do not cut and paste reviews from other site, do research from several sites (if you do not own the product yourself) and do genuine review with good things and bad things about the product.
  • Always add a good clear image of the product and link back to amazon at the end, so if people like it, they can buy it from your link.
  • You do not have to own the product and do not have to say you own it, when you do not, In my opinion honest reviews seems to be work best.
  • I have done shorter and longer reviews both and in my experience 800-1000 words long reviews seems to always convert better for me, so do not short change and write a good detailed review.
  • You can sometimes add related products but it is not necessary, when review is well written.

Problem with Amazon:

While I said earlier, amazon is one of the best affiliates for people, I still think there are some issues to remember when working with amazon.

  • Amazon has only 24 hour cookie, meaning, if someone visits your post but does not buy it right away and it is over 24 hours, you will not get commission for it.
  • Amazon has very low percentages such as 4% to start out with with maximum of 8% which I never quite made it. I got up to 6.5% once. Many other affiliate program may offer better commission.
  • Amazon only pays $25 for some electronics items such as laptop and some camera, regardless of if someone paid over $1000 for item, you will not get 4% of it or more. That sucks.
  • Amazon is nixing affiliate program in Many US states and it can follow in other states and other countries which may not be good thing for those who want to make money online.

Summury:

No matter what you do and choose, writing honest reviews and being valuable always helps. Content is always king or should I say Queen as being a woman! Good luck and hope you make money with Amazon.

Seven Best Decisions You Can Make About Blogging

There are seven best decisions anyone can make about blogging and being successful at blogging. Hope you enjoy it.

Blogging Tip 1

Do not spend more than you earn on blog tools, specially with money you do not have. It is tempting in blogging world with various software and tools to buy to make your blog life easier. There are always new ebooks and courses out there promising you riches if you buy them. We know as we have bought quite few in our early stage of blogging.

There are so great and not so great products out there to make you successful. Buy only what you can afford after making a little money. At most you need to spend money for domain and hosting, rest of the products can wait, if you do not have extra money.

Blogging Tip 2

Do no expect blogging or money help from anyone. There are plenty of bloggers and experts who are more than willing to share free tips and suggestions on how to make your blog grow. However, no one is going to hand you everything on platter or do work for you.

You must work hard for it, for example asking and preparing for a guest post or leaving thoughtful comments and linking to right posts on your blog. Do not feel bad if expert blogger does not return favor by commenting back on your blog. It is not personal, every relationship takes time to build.

Blogging Tip 3

It is okay not have niche but more planned you are about your blog, the better it will be for people who are searching for information to find you. It will also be beneficial to search engine to figure out what is your blog is about. Yes, there are many mega site and article directories have multiple subjects and niche, but they balance it will quantity. If you have large site, you can get away with many niche subject, when you are new try to stick to general niche or subject if possible.

We are not saying, multiple niche does not work, it might take little longer but it will work eventually.

 Blogging Tip 4

Be kind and helpful to other bloggers, big and small size. Many times we have seen blogger only writing about successful bloggers and commenting on only their sites. Now following successful blogger is good idea and we do that too. However, you want to also focus on same size or little blogs too. Sometimes it works out best when you are nice to medium to small size blogs.

It is just like real life, you do not want to be friend only with rich people, you want to be friends with people who have same amount money or even bit less than you. Diversity is key and being genuinely nice helps out in blogging world.

Blogging Tip 5

Plan for busy times, emergency situation such as blog crash, family and work issues; You can always predict what will happen but you can prepare extra post drafts when you have time so when you are busy, your blog still have content flowing. For other emergency situation, just take one step at the time and get help from web guys or forums. Have blog schedule if you can. Some blogger post everyday, some every Monday, Wednesday or Friday, and some do not have schedule. We fall under later category, as we do not want to be bound by deadline to have our creative juice flowing. But we agree, having regular schedule even when no one seems to be reading you blog, will make you more credible in reader’s eye.

Blogging Tip 6

Most important thing about being successful is to provide valuable information to your readers! Pat at Smart Passive Income provides great value to many, which is not found anywhere else on blogsphere. Therefore, he gets big following from readers everywhere. Pat’s posts are well thought out, helpful and honest. What I also like about Pat is that he is family man, when he went to Blogworld, he came back early as he has young infant son. I like that that family is his first priority over fame or money.

Other value providing bloggers are Devesh from Technshare and Ishan from Blogging with success provide. They both are young teens who write with other authors and who all are amazingly talented. I love their blogs from short time I have been reading their blog. Although I am older than them, I still have lot to learn from these teen bloggers.

Yaro, Daniel from dailyblogtips, Darren from Problogger are few of the experts who provide value to bloggers and readers everywhere. If you want readers to stick around and keep coming back provide the best valuable information to them.

Blogging Tip 7

Content is king or queen (if you are girl blogger), so write great and unique content that is helpful to people. You do not need to be copy editor but make sure your spelling and grammar is correct before you hit publish on your post. We know we have made in past and it is only human thing to do. The best way we found to correct this is to read your post aloud and you will see if there is something not working right away. If you realize later after publishing a post, don’t fear. Just change to mistakes as soon as you find them. If reader or blogger tells you about it, thank them without feeling that you are being criticized. They are just trying to help you.

Final & Extra Blogging Tips

Treat other bloggers the way you want to be treated!

Write from your heart!

Rome was not built in a day and same goes for your blog success. Don’t hurry success!

Happy Blogging!

Beat the Recession with eCommerce! and Make Money

wwbrand

Note: After having customer service issue, I no longer recommend this product

A blogging friend of mine just recently came across this opportunity and shared a news with me. It is about setting up an eCommerce website and selling through drop shipping. While, I and my friend have an experience in blogging and making some money with it, eCommerce is totally new field for us. So, we decided to check it out and it sounds pretty impressive and doable. The best part about it, according to website, it may have quicker ROI (return on your investment) compared to traditional blogging.

So, what is this program? It is dropshipping program and website is WorldwideBrands.com. After listening to our friend and checking out things for ourselves, we decided to buy this system and check it out. Many people have lost job through recession so if you are one of them or dreading your job, blogging and e-commerce can be an answer for you.

What is DropShipping or eCommerce Business?

Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. You can make money, without buying, holding the products and company ships the products, leaving you to find right products and right customers to sell it to.

World Wide Brand: Drop Shipping Review

Worldwide Brands is one of the best drop shipper company that is above the competition for everything wholesale, boasting the largest list of drop shippers, light bulk suppliers, liquidators, and even direct imports, and the best wholesale education available. As a result, they are the most trustworthy and reputable source online.

One of the major problem is there many drop shipping companies do not want to work with little guy or little gals like us, they do business with only big business, so world wide brand is one of the best, as it deals with little guys like us who are just getting started in the business. Just because they work with small business and little people, does not mean, they skimp on choices of drop shippers and suppliers.

You know this, If you ever tried to find something to sell online you know it is not easy. Many of us got Scammed by fake wholesale companies that appear to be a middle man. And Many of us got rejected by BIG snobby companies because you are “SMALL” home based business and you cannot order $100 000 worth with a product. And here comes Worldwide Brands to help.

Chris Malta, the founder of Worldwide Brands, was once in your position; searching for a way to get into ecommerce, he manually scored the internet looking for wholesale suppliers, researching their legitimacy, and formulating strategies. Today, he is among the most sought after experts on the topic, and his company is the industry leader in providing legitimate, true wholesalers to aspiring ecommerce business owners.

Worldwide Brands is the largest database of Factory Authorized Wholesalers that  is willing to deal with “small” businesses and which will sell you small volume quantities of product for additional wholesale discounts. But besides that Worldwide Brands is also a HUGE Product Sourcing Educational center with its own Video Center, Product Sourcing Radio and great selection of FREE eBooks, videos and articles.

What to Consider:

Here are a few things to watch out about world wide brands company.

  • It costs about $299 one time fee for to become a member. It is bit high for many people starting out. It is worth it with quality of suppliers and information you get. If you work it right way, you will make the cost of it in no time.
  • It is not for everyone. It is not easy or get rich quick thing. If one spends time to research market and picks hot products and with right work to do selling online it will become profitable.
  • Some products will have a better profit margin then others, so right research is needed. Information is provided, but you will have to do the work of choosing right products.

If you read a few of our reviews, you know, we believe in honesty, it is not about making money but making living through honesty and integrity. We do not want anyone to waste money. It is possible to set up a business of dropshipping with hard work and patience.

Suggestion for getting Most out of World Wide Brand:
