Who is the guru of make money blogger?

by Charles Roring in Manokwari of West Papua - Indonesia

I have been blogging seriously since last year. I began making money from blogging and running an English learning website in June 2008. It was ot easy actually. From a few cents in the first few weeks, I continue to earn several dollars a day from Google Adsense. Every time I log-on to Google Adsense website and read my earnings, I will always feel anxious hoping to be the next Dot Com Mogul on the blogs like what John Chow has claimed before. This self-proclaimed dot com mogul says that he makes money up to 4,000 US dollars a day. For me, it's WOW.

When you read John Chow articles, you'll be motivated to blog even more. Is it possible to become a dot com mogul when you see that every day thousands of new blogs are being launched from every corner of the world? Who will read them when all of us blogging?

But what I have expected is not what I really get. I still make a decent income from the internet although it is not enough to cover my living expenses. Blogger will always feel that they can be another John Chow.

There is an Adsense guru named Joel Comm. I downloaded this e-book: What Google Never Told You About Making Money with Adsense. There are a lot of tips and tricks which many bloggers should read if they are really serious on making money from blogging. No, matter how much you want to make, what topics you want to write, applying Joel Comm tips and tricks for Adsense is important to be a successful blogger.

So, before you carry on reading other posts in my blog, why don't you try to find the above book and download it as a reference for your money making endeavor on the internet. Also read: How plentyoffish makes money online and Your internet cash machine

Atomic Blogging - what is it?

Atomic blogging may sounds weird to your ears. It is a phrase invented by Alvin Phang, an internet entrepreneur who makes more than 54,475.43 just from blogging. While many bloggers only make small change in one year, he claims to have made huge amount of money from blogging in twelve months.

What is Alvin's secret? I will not tell you in detail but his atomicblogging.com sells products that he claims can increase your earnings just within 72 hours applying his methods or techniques. Just visit his blog and decide by yourself whether you want to buy his products. I don't receive any commision from informing you about the atomic blogging.

Blogging is now seen as one of the most challenging yet profitable businesses at this time. Technorati records over 70 millions blog so far and the blogosphere receives around 120k of new blogs created every day.

People blogs because they want to express their ideas, communicate with friends or customers and make money.

Whatever your reason is, you will need readers for your blog. It means you need high traffic to liven up your blog(s). The easiest way to built traffic is promoting your blog through search engines such as yahoo or google. Others register their blogs in blogger communities such as technorati.

So, if you have worked so hard and feel that you don't make any progress in your internet money making endeavor, you might consider of giving up and return to your 9 to 5 conventional working system.

Actually, making money from the internet is possible. I by myself make money from selling books online and extracting dollars from Google Adsense. I don't make huge amount of money but I really make some money.

I don't know if Atomic Blogging works or not. What I know is that bloggers must update his blog every day to keep attracting visitors and search engine. Other tricks or strategies are possible but still "content is king." That's what I strongly believe.

Can bloggers still make money this year?

My answer is yes. There are many bloggers who make more than 20,000 US dollars a year. Some even make that amount a month. Making money from blogging is possible but is not easy.

I run a website and some blogs. I have to write articles every day to monetize my blogs. Now, I am trying to find out whether I can make a lot of money this month just by blogging. In addition, I want to compare how much I earn from Google Adsense and Kontera - the contextual text link monetization program.

I just removed Google Adsense from this blog but I still maintain it in my Nature Lover blog. I will write the report to you at the end of this month to compare the revenue. Well, I have to be careful with this thing so that I will not brake the TOS of both companies.

Well, if you ask if I make a living from blogging, I will definitely say NO. Why because I just started. Even running this blogs cost a lot of money. I mean I must pay significant amount of money for my internet bill.

To support this money making endeavor of the internet business, I run a book selling business from home. So far this is the largest contributor of my income. I could make 27,500 US dollars last year. I hope I can increase it this year.

Well , back to the question at the above title whether bloggers can still make money this year, I will say that I will not rely wholly on blogging. I still run my core home business now. At the same time, I will try to write more posts to maintain my blogs every day. I hope I can make more money from this blog anytime soon. written by Charles Roring in Manokwari Indonesia

My home business resolution for 2009

This is the first day of 2009. What should I do to make more money from my home business. Last year, I sell books from home. The selling could reach more than Rp. 275 million or around 27,500 US dollars. I also got some money from being a publisher of Google Adsense. I hope I can still earn more money or higher profit this year. The followings are my home business resolutions:

1. Maintain a positive cash flow. Every businessman knows how important cash is. I have to make sure that this year business is more positive. It means the margin between earnings and spendings have to be increased. If I review from my last year spendings, the biggest lies in internet bill. I can understand it because last year I did a lot of research of how to make money from home. I download books related to Google Adsense written by Joel Comm. I visited successful bloggers. And I watch many videos. I have to reduce my spending on this post.

2. I have to sell more books. Making money from book selling is my core business. It is done from home. In one month, I can sell up to 800 items. They range mostly from books, CDs and DVDs, cards and stickers. I have to add more books if I want to sell more books. It means I need more cash to do that. No, problem, I have secured another 50 million loan.

3. Increase earnings from online business. Besides selling books from home, I also sell them through the internet. Every week there are orders from every corner of this country. It is not my main target. i will give more time writing good posts in this blog, my home business blog and also improve my English learning website.

4. Paying back all the bank loan. Because I started this business from bank loan, I plan to finish it this year. It means the profit margin from my home business must be higher to enable me paying back all the debts in the bank.

5. Expand the business. Yeah, it is still the largest contributor for my income. I still need one more year to finish my obligation from the bank. This year too, I plan to expand it to a bigger one by opening a bookstore in a mall. It might cost me 1 billion rupiahs or around 100,000 US dollars. I don't know if I can make it this year or next year. I will try it. written by Charles Roring in Manokwari Indonesia

Nature Lover Blog uses Four Column Template

The blog of Nature lover is now using four column template. It is something new for me as the blogger or creator of this blog. I realized that designing a four column template is difficult to be done alone. So I type four column template for blogspot dot com or blogger dot com and I found it. It is in a blog that provides the template which everbody can download.

I don't know whether you like it or not. I only see that it is good in displaying more links and of course the ads which I need to monetize the blog from the writings or posts. Recently,

I found that I am not focused on certain topics. My postings become diverse and cannot optimize the rank in the search engine.

But I guess it's OK. As long as I can express my opinions or ideas. If you find that it is getting difficult to find the topics that you are looking for, why don't you send me a message. Actually I need response about what should I write for this blog. Comments or suggestions from readers are needed to improve this blog's performance.

I hope next year, everything will be better for us all, more jobs, peace in the middle east and better and healthier life.

Happy New Year to all of you my readers, from Charles Roring in Manokwari Indonesia

Make Money from Home By Providing E-mail Subscription Form in your Blog

Many successful bloggers make money from home by monetizing their blogs or website with Google Adsense or Yahoo Publisher Network. 

You will not make money from home through blogging if you don't study or read successful bloggers' blogs. Blogging will become a lucrative home business if you are really serious with it.

I have made 45,000 US dollars by combining my brick and mortar home bookselling business( Xavier Bookstore) with an online store. It was not an easy business at first. I only got 150 US dollars profit in the first month of my bookstore two years ago. Now I can get a lot of money selling books from home and through online store.You don't like selling? No, problem. When you blog, it means you sell your writing. Although you don't go door to door offering your articles. Uploading your posts to the internet can be considered as selling your knowledge to your blog visitors. I wonder how successful bloggers can make money from home just by blogging. I visit their websites and blogs. I read their hit counters and I study the lay-out as well as the content of their blogs.I come to some conclusions:

1. They write at least one post every day. Some even write between two and five posts.
2. They only focus on certain topics. Blogger like Ken Savage who owns Battle Diabetes Blog gets around 40,000 US dollars annually just by writing popular articles about Diabetes. Another one such as Chris Bloczynski focuses on blogging.
3. They maintain their visitors by providing RSS and e-mail subscriptions. This is the most important part of maintaining loyal visitors.
It is important to inform your readers once you have just uploaded articles to your blog. In the past you have to send email to all the members of your blog or website. Now, there is feed burner or yahoogroups that can do the job for you. Just visit most of the successful blogs. You'll find that they provide e-mail subscription form in their blogs.
I also do the same. I build my own English learning community by providing e-mail subscription form on the top right corner of my Englishland website. I also provide similar form in my blog. You may ask, "is it effective in attracting repeat visitors?" Yes, definitely! If you really want to increase repeat visitors to your website or blog, don't forget to build your own community using rss feed or e-mail subscription form. Believe me, you will get more loyal visitors and at the same time increase your monthly earnings. by Charles Roring in Manokwari Indonesia

How Bloggers invest the money they get from Google Adsense

by Charles Roring

I have reached 150 US dollar from Google Adsense this month. It is not a huge amount of money. I still wonder why many successful bloggers get 10 K to 20 K a month from blogging. This is not my question alone, this is the question from many bloggers. So, what I do is trying to get the answer from successful bloggers on the internet. I choose two from sixty bloggers which Paula Neal Mooney mentioned in the blog. They are Joel Comm and John Chow. After reading many articles which they wrote in their blogs or websites, I conclude that they re-invest their income in projects that are still related to their main blogging business. They write books containing their success stories. From the books which they write and sell, they get more money and they are getting more and more famous. These books actually are their marketing tools.They do not have to spend a lot of money for advertising their websites or blogs. They just sell their books and at the same time promote their blogs written in those books. It is a nice idea. So, how I invest the 150 bucks which I just got from Google Adsense. The answer is simple. I pay my telephone bill. I spend a lot of money reading articles about how to make a good blog that is interesting and is able to attract thousands of visitors everyday.What I get from reading a lot of articles about blogging? Easy answer: "Content is King." I write in blogspot. It means this blog is hosted by Google. So, I don't have to worry about whether Google wants index my blog or not. I just need to focus on the content. Let Google handle the search engine. That's the most important thing that we must know. Just focus on the content. That is the best investment I can make from the 150 US dollars Google Adsense gave me this month. It means I only need to buy a bag of coffee beans and spend it for the next month writing more stories about how to make money from home by blogging. Technorati : Blogger
