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.

Blogging is a great way of beginning your own online business. The start-up costs are minimal and over time, you can get a loyal and impressive readership. When you monetize your blog, you will be able to make a decent income.

A blog can be set up in different ways. You could design your blog using Blogger, WordPress or any other site which will give you a free blogging account. Alternatively, you could build your blog from scratch under an original domain name.

Making Money From You Blogging

If you wish to make good money through blogging, you need to have total control over your blog. Free blogging accounts, which come with many terms and conditions, will not give you this kind of freedom. Many people have set up blogs only to have them removed weeks or months later without notice. Buying your own domain name and hosting your blog will cost you as little as $25 a year. This will buy you complete freedom over your blog.

It’s probably a phrase that you’ve seen so many times or at least a phrase similar to “Earning From My Blog Is Paying The Bills“, but it can be done.

Now I’m not saying that my blog is paying every single bill that I have coming in, but the money I’m earning from my blog is helping with things such as Website Hosting and also my Broadband costs, so these in turn are actually paying for my internet fix

So How Am I Doing This?

Google Adsense

Well for starters having Google Adsense running on my blog has been a great benefit, not so much in the early days of the blog, but as the popularity and the Alexa rank has improved then in turn so has the earnings from Google Adsense.

I’ve not done one of these Blogger Earnings posts for ages, so I thought it was about time that, I checked out how my blog has done over the last month, Blazing Minds is getting more popular lately and this seems to show on the earnings, though some sites such as SponsoredTweets, Magpie and Google Adsense haven’t pulled in as much as they usually do, but sometimes there is a slump in the earnings and I have noticed in the past the February always seem to be the month that slumps!

I was going through my bookmarks recently on FireFox and noticed some handy sites that I would like to share with all my readers, you may already know about some of these already, but, for those that haven’t seen these sites then they are certainly worth checking out and may even help with your future endeavours with your websites SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).

Firstly a great little website, but not to take to seriously is PageRank Prediction the title says it all really, it’s a simple pagerank checker, just enter your website address and the site will try to give you your pagerank on the next Google PageRank update, I’ve found it to be around 80% accurate though, so give it a whirl!

Next is the first in the “Graders” websites, the Website Grader measures the marketing effectiveness of a website. It provides a score that incorporates things like website traffic, SEO, social popularity and other technical factors. It also provides some basic advice on how the website can be improved from a marketing perspective.

The second “Grader” is one which is quite fun and is the Twitter Grader, will give you a grade out of 100, show followers, following, Summary of the Twitter, history and tweet cloud, all good fun and useful tool to see what a new follow is really doing!

Finally a website tool for those of you trying to improve your websites keywords, the Google AdWords Keyword Tool, is a must, just type in the keywords that you would like to improve on and Google will search through it’s database and try to give you a good selection of keywords that may help improve your keyword on your post or website, I do find this very useful for some posts and it has improved my posts in the past, it may even help you with Google Adsense, but it is trial and error, so give it a go.

I bet the title certainly grabbed your attention didn’t it, but this is what you find on the internet these days, people claiming that they have made millions from sitting at home and blogging their proverbial backsides off!

Well, is it possible, I would like to say yes, but, I have to say NO! I have worked hard with my blog with it’s SEO and keyword related tips n tricks and I can quite honestly say that I’m not a millionaire, far from it, my blog bring in a small amount every month with Google Adsense and affiliates such as TradeDoubler, Amazon, iTunes etc bring in minuscule amounts.

So really if you want to quit your real job to make “millions” from just blogging then you’ll have to work all hours.

Don’t get me wrong I do know a few bloggers that have had some success with a work from home venture, but, I don’t think any of them would say that it has made them a millionare, but hey, I may be wrong…

Now I have been using EntreCard for a long time now and I must be one of the few “Droppers” that actually visits a site, stays for a while and even leaves a comment if the posts interest me, but the problem is those “Droppers” that speed drop!

The trouble with speed droppers is that they land on your site hit drop and then bugger off! Which is not really good for your blogs bounce rate, ok, I may be sending this right over people heads right now, so I would recommend reading the Wiki about Bounce Rate to find out what it is, but to cut a story short, bounce rate is the amount of time a visitor stays on your blog before moving onto another site etc.
