Do you want to earn extra income online?

If you’ve an internet enabled laptop or desktop computer, this post will reveal the best strategies and methods to earn a living online. A home office is ideal for this type of business opportunity. I’ve seen a lot of successful people who made their fortunes from the internet. Blogging isn’t difficult, although it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme but it can help you share your passion, build a strong following and fan-base and generate 3 – 6 figures yearly.

I’ve been blogging since 2008 and learned several tips that work. When it comes to monetizing your blog, you need to “know the type of traffic your blog attracts.” That’s the best approach which eliminates every guess work and makes you a winner even before you start.

1.    Paid Membership Subscription

Does your blog attract business entrepreneurs and experienced bloggers? If so, touring the membership access business model can make you an expert and bring in passive income. People are willing and hungry to pay for valuable and rare information. Even though Google provides free information, the “valuable” ones are hidden in membership sites.

For instance, no reasonable affiliate marketer would reveal his “best traffic strategy” for free. He would probably upload the information on his membership site and lock it. Only paid members have access to it and that makes it valuable and desired. Charge $9 – $47 on your membership site and re-bill your members monthly.

How does it feel to have your own little part of cyberspace, where you can air your thoughts, views and ideas? Doesn’t your blog give you a great opportunity to share, impart learning, learn from others and grow as a person? Sadly, not everyone is using their blogs positively or responsibly. Here are the 10 rules of responsible blogging.

1. Verify Information Before You Post

If the information you’re going to post is not true, of if you’re not sure of its veracity, be honest with your readers about it. The credibility of you as a blogger and that of your blog depends on the integrity of what you publish.

2. Respect People’s Viewpoints

Don’t use your blog to come down heavily on anyone’s viewpoints, be they religious, political, moral or whatever. Allow your blog to be an impartial ground where people can discuss multiple viewpoints but insist on respect.

3. If In Doubt, Wait Before Posting

If you’re not sure about a particular post, wait for at least 24 hours before posting it. Yes, we know, all bloggers undergo pressure to post and stick to a schedule. Check with your friends and network if it’s sensible to post it. If your counselors indicate in the negative, refrain from posting it.

Blogging isn’t a one-person endeavor. For a blog to truly thrive, the writer and readers must engage in conversation, feeding off of one another’s ideas. Blog readers who develop relationships with their readers often find a treasure trove of ideas for future blog posts and a greater likelihood that readers will share posts with their friends and acquaintances.

Readers aren’t just going to comment on your blog posts unless you actively encourage them to get involved, and doing that is relatively simple.

Provide engaging content

You want to engage your readers, so your content must be interesting, timely, and fresh. Keep up with the current events and news in your industry; share information that your readers can actually use; and make sure your content reads smoothly. When you provide engaging content on a consistent basis, readers learn to know what to expect from your blog and are more likely to keep coming back to it.

Request comments

One of the best ways to encourage discussion on your blog is simply to ask your readers to provide you with feedback. For example, at the end of a post, you might write: “What do you think,” or “Have you ever found yourself in that situation? Share your story by posting a comment below.”

So there I was the other day preparing a new blog post when something rather bizarre happens, all my blogs categories and tags disappeared from WordPress!

What Was Happening And Why Was This Happening?

After looking around several sites and trying to find out the reason this had happened I really couldn’t find any help anywhere, with some places saying it was the fault of a plugin, some saying it was WordPress causing the issue and some saying that it was the fault of PHPMyAdmin!

So I wasn’t really getting anywhere with a solution to the issue that had now made all my posts listed under ”uncategorized” and no tags being listed anywhere, which in turn also caused a of category and tag pages disappear from the blog as well.

Upon further investigation and testing, I also found that I couldn’t even add new categories or tags to the blog. So this led me to believe that it’s not an issue with the WordPress installation, but it was actually a problem with the database used by WordPress.
