Many bloggers out there do not take advantage of one of the great unknown features of blogs: commenting. Commenting on other blogs helps out your blog tremendously. First, you can pick out which blogs you want to target, usually ones within the same niche of your blog. Second, every time you leave a comment, a link is placed back to your site. Over time, all these backlinks that have been built up bring in a huge amount of traffic, completely free! Plus, Google and other search engines notice your link being placed on other blogs in the same niche, which REALLY helps out with your page rank. If you have not taken advantage of commenting, you need to start!

Search engines treat each blog post as a single page when they spider your site. Because of this, it is a very good idea to make sure that your posts are each very focused in order to maximize the traffic you bring in from search engines. Here are 10 tips you should follow when writing a post:

1. Optimize each post around a single keyword
2. Make sure the focus keyword is in your post title
3. Use subheadings and/or tags that also contain the keyword
4. Include one to three links to pages on other sites that also focus on the keyword
5. Sign each post with a signature link that uses the keyword
6. Use bold and italics to emphasize certain keywords and phrases
7. Be sure to ping all of the major blog directories
8. Tag your blog post with relevant tags
9. Use categories effectively - category titles should be keywords
10. Make links appear natural by linking to internal page of your site

I tried one of those online survey sites about 4 months ago that
say all you have to do is spend a couple of minutes filling out
some surveys and you will be making hundreds a day…YEAH RIGHT, I didn’t make anything.

I joined 7 of these stupid websites and I actually tried filling
out a couple of surveys on each site and they took forever then at
the end they wanted me to buy things or I couldn’t complete the
survey.

These are complete scams so be aware!!! I couldn’t believe they
were even allowed to sell such bogus products.

Then about 2 weeks ago I was watching the news and they had some
vice presidents and marketing managers of some major multi million
dollar companies talking about a site that they personally work
with to pay consumers for their opinion, A site that actually just
wants the “average Joe’s” honest opinion on products and services
and is willing to pay big money to get them.

I tried this site out and it is the only one I have ever seen that
actually pays you just to take surveys. I made almost $100 in my
first day just filling out 3 simple surveys.

This is the only legit survey site online, so if you are
interested in making hundreds per day just giving your opinions
then make sure you check this out.

P.S. there is a video on the homepage that will explain everything.
If I were you I would at least check the video out and if you don’t
make at least $300 in your first week they have a 3 month refund
policy so just get your money back!!! This is definitely worth a
look!

I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately about Private Label Rights (PLR) content. I used to think that it was only for lazy people who didn’t want to do their own writing. But as I learn more, I’ve come up with lots of great ways I can use PLR in my own business.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, PLR is content that you get from the original author along with their permission to use it as your own. So you can get a great report, put your name on it and have your own product to sell or give away!

The first couple of products I created using PLR only took me about half an hour. There have been a few sales so far from them so that was definitely time well spent.

When searching for PLR content to use, I found there were a lot of different types of sites available. Some offered monthly memberships and others offered just one time purchases. So be sure to look around before you decide where to buy.

The site I found that was by far the best was PLRWholesaler. Not only do they have an unbelievable amount of content, but it’s completely FREE. Most sites charge an arm and a leg for the amount of content that this guy is giving away.

And although I haven’t been through everything yet, what I have read is very good quality. It’s stuff you would actually want to use as your own.

Since it’s free, I highly recommend that you check out PLRWholesaler and see if they have anything that you can use in your business. There just may be an ebook or audio recording that you could quickly brand with your information and start selling to your list.

Check it out and let me know what you think…

One of the main keys to having a successful website is no doubt being able to drive traffic to it. You could have the nicest, most original website on the entire Internet but if no one gets to see that website then all the hard work is nullified. You have to have the traffic!

There are millions upon millions of people on the Internet each day, but it seems as if they get stuck in ruts of always visiting the same websites over and over again. What can be done to get them out of their ruts? Well if you are visiting this website, odds are you have a website yourself and have readers who also have sites of their own. That is why this program I am about to share with you is so great.

The website is FreeViral.com. Is is a viral script, which is increasingly popular nowadays. As you promote the program, more and more visitors are driven to your website under the huge downlines that are built. As the webmasters sign up under you, more people view your website as your link remains on all of the new downlines.  As you can see, this can generate a TON of traffic to your website. It’s definitely worth a shot, I mean it is free! So head on over to FreeViral.com and see for yourself!

The method I am about to describe to you is the exact way I have been using over the past few months making up to $600 a day. I have been able to do this without a website, without and PPC campaigns, and without affiliate marketing. The method is extremely easy to replicate, and it taps into a huge market that cannot get depleted. Okay, without further adieu, let’s get started!

The methods deal with outsourcing. As you may or may not know, there has always been a huge demand for unique content on the Internet. Websites and companies have been paying a lot of money to freelance writers to provide them with unique articles and blog postings. What I have been doing is acting like I will write the articles and blog posts for someone who will pay a certain amount of money for X number of articles or blog posts, and find someone else to actually write the articles or posts for me for less money per article or post. The left over money is pure profit.

One thing to keep in mind with this is when finding articles you are supposed to write for others, try to take on a many jobs as possible at once because typically you will get paid more money per article if you are not writing that many articles for one single person. The more total articles you can get the bid for the better (I usually take on a few hundred at once). Then when you find someone to write the articles for you, give them a few of the jobs at once because they will expect less money for each article (think of buying in bulk). Often times when you find the articles to write, you will be paid upfront so you won’t have to spend any of your own money to find people to write the articles for you.

Here is an example I am talking about:
Say you take on 200 total articles, paying $5 per article (remember this will probably be between 10-15 total people)
200 x $5 = $1000
Now find one or two people to write the 200 total articles for you. You will be paying on discount because of the bulk order. You will be able to find people to write for $2-$4 per article, usually dependent upon the content.
200 x $2 to $4 = $400 to $800
Out of the $1000 you got paid to write the articles, you only have to pay out $400 to $800, so that leaves you with a profit of $200 to $600!

Let’s see some of the sites you can use to find the freelance work:
Elance.com
About.com
Freelance Writing Gigs
Online-Writing-Jobs.com
Writing Bids
WorldwideFreelance.com
FreelanceWriting.com

You can use these sites to find work and most of those sites to outsource your work to as well. Craigslist is also a great place to both find work at and to outsource to. I typically look at the bigger markets such as New York, LA, and SF and look under the Writing section of “Gigs”. For example, look at this ad:

$25 per article is a great price. You can DEFINITELY find people to write the articles for you for a lot less than $25 per article. Your profit margin will be huge!

Site Point Forums also feature a “Looking to Hire” section, and every day there are new listings of people looking for writers and providers of unique content. I have had great success with Site Point, because it is generally very easy to find work there and also the payout is rather large.

Some other things you want to take a look at on places like Elance.com are for Press Releases because often times companies will pay $100+ for one that is well written. Need-An-Article.net is a good place for a cheap press release.

Once you have some experience at outsourcing under your belt, you may want to take another step forward and try finding graphic designs and websites to flip, because the profit margins on this one are huge as well.

This method is really a fool-proof way of making money. It may take a little time for you to learn how to write a good proposal for a job, but you find one that works you can use it over and over again.

Go out there and make some money!

The economy is certainly slowing down and will most likely get worse. The news is full of layoffs and economic disaster. It is so ridiculous for the Government to bail out all of these failing businesses. The CEO’s run the company into the ground, make million dollar salaries not to mention the bonuses and when they run out of money, the Government gives them more so that they can continue to abuse the system. You gotta love the American way. Makes me sick!

OK, now I’m done with my rant on the economy. Let’s talk productivity. So the economy is bad…but what can we do? The answer is “take the ball and run with it”. Become financially independent by working for yourself where you have more control over how much you make and your future. Earning money online can give you more control over your finances. The economy will affect your earnings but not near as much as working for someone else. Businesses layoff when times get tough and don’t share profits when times are good. Isn’t that amazing? If you become financially independent, you can gain control over your earnings and career. No worries about layoffs or pay cuts. You’re in control. You want to earn more money -> work harder.

This is the perfect time to start your own online business. You can start out part time and then in a few years move to full time. The flexibility is great because you can work anytime or any day. The earning potential is practically unlimited too. I’m not kidding either. Just think about this. If you start a blog and promote an affiliate, let’s say you earn $1,000 per month. Now to earn more money, all you have to do is the same thing with a 2nd blog. Simple enough huh? Yes, it sounds simple and it really is. There is some serious work involved but it’s do-able for anyone who wants to.

You do not need much money to start. All you need to get started is a blog, hosting and a few tools. Get started now and in a few years you may be earning $4,000 per month or more!

Wouldn’t you just love to quit work and stay at home?

A little present for everyone. Want $50 in free Google Adwords advertising? Here is how you can do it. Be sure to follow these easy directions step-by-step.

1. Go Here. You will go to the Google Adwords page where it will say that you will get a $50 credit for signing up.
2. You must create a new account with a previously unregistered email address. The $50 credit cannot apply to an existing account.

Make sure you see: “Sign up for Google AdWords and receive $50* worth of targeted advertising.” at the top of page. If it doesn’t say that, you may not get the $50 applied to your account and you might have to re-register, so double check for that.

By doing that you will get $50 worth of targeted PPC advertising completely free (although you still need to activate your new account).
