| How to turn any blog that attracts only "cheap" keywords into a better cash flow
|
| Thursday

In this post I will explain how to turn any blog that attracts only "cheap" keywords into a better cash flow. In order to make my explanation easier to understand, I have illustrated it with a real life example.
A young girl had asked for my help to monetize her blog about modeling. As a college student and a part time model, she had both the passion and knowledge about the subject. As such, it wasn't difficult for her to come up with new interesting posts which made her blog very popular among young adults.
I suggested utilizing Google AdSense to monetize her blog. Because she was a busy full time student, it was very exciting for her to be able to earn some money with this, "passive income," stream.
Due to the fact that all model-related keywords and phrases were very low paid, we had to come up with a few additional subjects. Content that attracts very well paid ads and could be potentially interesting to her visitors. Topics such as student credit cards, student loans, online education, student car insurance, and others.
Key phrases that apply directly to modeling are paying the following:
how to become a model 23 cents
teen modeling 16 cents
teen modeling agency 15 cents
BUT! Look at what these keywords are paying:
student credit cards $3.00
student loan $4.64
online education $2.49
student car insurance $7.05
As you may have noticed, there is a vast disparity in pay-outs on keyword phrases.
I suggested building a few simple satellite blogs, based on well-paid topics, around her main modeling blog. She then created a few satellite blogs, utilizing no more than two to three pages per blog, and placed links on the main modeling blog pointing to them.
Her modeling blog receives a lot of free targeted traffic because of its popularity among young adults. She developed a warm relationship with her blog visitors by offering them FREE, valuable information. The audience has confidence in her and checks-out what she recommends.
These recommendations redirect the free targeted traffic from the main blog to the satellite blogs. Because of this, she is able to receive additional streams of income from the “expensive keywords.”
Keep in mind that she recommends only those subjects that WOULD BE INTERESTING to her visitors! That’s why it is not difficult to convince them to visit the satellite blogs.
If this young girl had decided to compete with the “big dogs” in the crowded arena of credit cards and loans, she would have never succeeded. But the trick here is that she doesn’t need to compete with them!
The young lady has a blog on a subject which is easy and enjoyable for her to write about. Then she simply redirects the traffic to the satellite blogs which attract the higher priced ads.
She recycles traffic a few times before the visitors decide to leave her community of blogs.
So, let us recap what we have learned.
1. Write a blog about a subject that you are passionate and knowledgeable about.
Do the research to be sure that you are not the only one in this world who has an interest in this subject and that your future blog will have an audience.
3. Research all keywords on the main and related topics.
4. Create your main blog. Then build a few related satellite blogs which are able to attract better paying keywords. Do not create more than five pages for the satellite blogs.
5. Spend 99% of your time posting on the main blog and 1% on the satellite blogs.
6. Make the main blog as big and interesting as possible.
7. Build traffic to your main blog, and redirect it to the satellite blogs.
With time, these seven steps could transform your little hobby blog into a steady stream of income.
Below I have another example where a main blog carries the cheap keywords and the satellite blogs carry the expensive keywords
Main Blog:
senior dating 85 cents
Satellite Blogs:
senior life insurance $7.00
senior services $1.54
senior health care $2.10
senior health insurance $5.00
senior life settlement $8.99
Building blog communities around the main blog can create a business that will bring you money for many years to come.Labels: AdSense, expensive keywords, internet success secret, keywords, money for bloggers, topic popularity, traffic |

| Submitting articles to the article directories
|
| Sunday
|
Earlier we discussed different methods of getting free content by using other people’s articles. Well, now it is time to learn how to attract free traffic to your blog by offering your own articles as free content for others.
Experienced marketers know that writing articles and submitting them to the Article Directories is one of the best ways of getting free traffic. Many blog/website owners are willing to share their traffic in exchange for your valuable content.
To illustrate this, I have included a few links pointing to my articles,
How To Fight Cultural Differences In Marriage And Stay Happy.
Click on this link to see what kind of exposure this article received during 4 years.
"Internet Addiction Anonymous" Click on this link to see what kind of exposure this article received. ( during one year)
There are hundreds of one way links.... Not bad for two articles which I submitted to approximately five articles directories.
You see, many sites have published article because it is relevant to their topic. Once your article has been published, it will be a source of free traffic for a very long time
Click here to see the list of 90 article directories where you can submit your article for free.Labels: article directories, free traffic, traffic |

| PageRank vs Sexy Dumb Blonde
|
| Friday
|
PR vs Sexy Dumb Blonde:
1. Many men dream about sexy dumb blondes
Even those men who claim to be immune against the wiles of the "sexy dumb blonde," hide under the mask of indifference their true desire for the hot looking beauty.
The same is true for PageRank
Every website owner wishes to have a high PR. Even those who declare that the success of their Internet business does not depend on it.
2. It is easy to lose a sexy dumb blonde
A " dumb blonde" is unpredictable. Today she makes her boyfriend happy, but tomorrow he might wake up in a cold bed with a “goodbye” note stuck to his forehead.
PR can disappear even more quickly than a women of the heart and without any “goodbye" notes.
3. It is possible to have a sexy dumb blonde return to you
There are a variety of ways to get her to return. Often time the chances increase in direct proportion to the size of your wallet and the amount of time you are willing to spend.
The same is true with the lost-and-found PageRank.
4. A sexy blonde can interfere with a good night sleep
A man who has a sexy woman by his side does not sleep well worrying about the possibility of losing her. And then there are others who lose sleep thinking of ways of finding one of these women and holding on to her.
Owners of websites suffer from the same affliction for two reasons as well:
Some are always concerned about how to keep the high PageRank while others are always scheming on how to get it.
5. Finally, any man could be happy without a sexy dumb blonde and without high PageRank.
There is only one problem.... Where do you find this man?

| How to Compress a Video File With Windows Movie Maker
|
| Saturday
|
In order for your movie to be easily watched over the Web, you need to compress the size of the video file. There are a few FREE video editing programs available that can help. The most popular program among videobloggers is Windows Movie Maker.
Depending on what version of Windows XP you have, Movie Maker comes installed.
To compress a video file, you have to open this program and click on Import Video link in the menu on the left side.
 Choose the video file that you want to import, and download it to the program.  Drag a video clip with your mouse, and drop it on the Time line below.  Now click on FILE at the top, and then Save Movie File
 Choose My computer, and click next
 Enter a file name for your video, and choose a directory to save your file to. Click Next  In the new window, click on Sh ow more choices link.  Check the box Other Settings, and a new menu will appear.  Open the menu, and select any of three given options for “Video for Broadband”: 512 Kbps, 340Kbps, and 150Kbps.  512Kbps offers the best quality, but is also the largest file. In my example I chose the smallest file size, which is “Video for Broadband 150 Kbps”  Click Next, and save your movie in the smaller file size.  Click Finish. Now your movie has been saved to your computer as a much smaller file
size, and you can upload it to other sites in a compressed format
