How do I make money BloggingBelow you find my last update on how I make money blogging (which is something that I post on every few months – even if it was one in six months, since I did).
Also note – I go into much detail about how I make money blogging Jhon in the book.
How much money do I do from blogs?
I ask you how much my blog I am on a regular basis. These days I will not go into details about it – all I will say is that it continues to be well over six figures a year (less than seven figures). What you find here are my income Streams – ranked from highest to lowest incomes.
Keep in mind that this is a summary of all my blogs (and not just Jhon). It does not include income that I earn b5media where I am paid a salary as vice-president training.
I hope you find it useful to see the mix and the diversity of ways that I earn money from blogs.
1. AdSense
AdsenseDespite not use it here in more Jhon I continue to use AdSense with real effect on my other blogs. Although I use the AdSense referrals and their search function, it is normal to their ads that work best for me. I have them all together to show the image and text ads and find that 250 x 300 pixels ads more effective (usually with a mixture of design).
2. Chitika
ChitikaLast time I did this kind of abstract Chitika ranked # 1. This time it was overtaken by AdSense – not because Chitika slipped into how much he earned, but because AdSense is past and also because I’ve replaced some Chitika ads with WidgetBucks. Chitika offers a series of announcements I have experience with. I find their work better eMiniMalls and production units are also good. Shoplincs their product is not as effective once it has done for me – especially because I have been promoting less led to this traffic. The more time that I was using Chitika they won me over a quarter of a million dollars!
3. Amazon Associates
Amazon-Logo-1
This was one of my big movers in the past 12 months. I used to do odd few dollars there – but lately it has become an important income for me (as I have already shared). This quarter, it exceeded my TLA third most revenue – largely on the back of me directing traffic to Amazon for my product related sites – mainly digital cameras. While the Commission on the camera is only 4% this adds when people you refer buy higher ticket items.
4. Announcement of private sale / Sponsorship
private-ad-salesThis ad includes a turnover of 125 x 125 ads here at Jhon and a couple of private deals announced that I had with the authors on the blog of my camera (including sponsorship with Canon, Kodak and Adobe). This area has increased since the last time also because of the new design by Jhon and expanded our sales team at b5 selling ads from Jhon for me.
5. Text Link Ads
TLA TlaThe income plunged slightly in recent months simply because I made the decision to stop selling them here at Jhon and most of my other blogs. The reason was that I wanted to put more emphasis on the sale of 125 pixels instead of ads and found that the ads I have been attracting are not relevant to this site as they could have been. As it turns out that this could have been a good initiative as it seems Google has been penalizing blogs are the latest.
6. Jhon job
The Jobboardheader employment Jhon here to continue to grow each month the number of advertisements that are purchased. This allowed me to invest more of the money they had earned little in return get a new rear boards and review them. It struck me today that the Boards are now making around $ 1,000 per month in revenue, which is pretty good considering that they are now so low maintenance to run! I come from a team developing a new brief to expand employment in the coming months so stay tuned for new features coming that could see this increase in income and, more importantly for him to become even more useful to readers.
7. Various Affiliate Programs
various subsidiary enforce a variety programsI of affiliate programs on my blogs – most of which bring in small sums of money that does not really warrant a category of their own. These include – - Digital Photography Secrets (a camera technique series), Photo Pro Secrets (a photoshop), Yaro’s Blog Mastermind Mentoring Program, SEO Book (Aaron’s legendary resource). This area is to continue to grow during the quarter with me have had reasonable conversion of the promotion of excellent teaching courses sells.
8. Various Advertising
various networksI announcement also play with a number of other advertising networks. Some I use as a test to see if I should consider here – and some are only advertising that operate in the background on some of my little blogs. These include AuctionAds, Feedburner RSS ads, Vizu (a poll advertising system), and Konter Bidvertiser. Together, they are not big gains for me – not because they are not good, but because I do not use them a lot (a blog can run so many ads on this) .
I think that covers most of it. Since the last quarter, I have also been experimenting with WidgetBucks as well as another ad system that is still a closed beta test. I am sure that WidgetBucks will be in the next quarter of the list because I’m on good returns so far. In fact, his current salary, there debut at the number of at least 4 on the list and perhaps even at number 3.
How should I spend?
As mentioned last time – I do not spend much money to put it in my income. I have a few blogs costs (accommodation, etc) and play a limited amount of advertising (AdWords and StumbleUpon), but rely more heavily on word of mouth and organic revenue by pulling my blogs. I also have some costs to pay writers on a couple of blogs – but they are not a huge part of total revenues each quarter.

Get Guest for Blogging Jobs?
Posted by admin in Blog Post, John Galindo on March 10th, 2008
When I began to write in the blogs of customers at the beginning of this week with my client Why bloggers are for a blog, I have no intention to begin as a series of posts – but then people started to ask questions To find the Blogger guest Then I writing another. Today I have questions on how to guest blogging concerts – I suppose that there are a number of species after all.
As a blogger, on the lookout guest blog on other blogs, like you do, the concerts?
1st Take the chance – to keep an eye on the blogs in the niches that you write about the possibilities and are looking for. If the bloggers said that they are gone, they are with the family or company, they are on the lookout for opportunities, etc. – Shoot them an e-mail with an offer to help share the burden with them.
2nd Relationship – even if I maintained by the guest blogger, I am rather their place on them to write to me if I already know. In fact, these days, I have rarely the bodies which have been created for me – I prefer the people I know and have a degree of trust and respect. Then takes you there before the opportunities and interaction with other bloggers in your market segment.
3rd Sell you – if you do not know bloggers that you volunteer to help, you need to do. A brief biography, why you deserve their blog (yet the cost of non-relevant information). Contain links to your own blog and examples of work that you have done, based on their topic to your style of voice, the expertise and ability to communicate. Includes some titles / titles of the posts that you write to them to show that you already have a reflection.
4th To be proactive – Another possibility is that the bloggers that you have a sample of pitch and after something they can use immediately. Choose a topic in the niche they relate (at best about a subject that did not fall and / or something that they have a weakness in itself) and a post-medium in size. If you via e-mail and to use them. The attention given them a living example of your work and give her something, ready to use. If they do not, you can write in your own blog, whether what you lose?
5th Keep your expectations realistic – I use the link to approximately 20-30% of people who have me and I suspect that the ratio of clients is that I like. Perhaps this is partly due to the number of places that I receive and on other blogs, but it could be higher. The fact is that you do not want your expectations too high. Make your property and professionally briefly, but not personally take if it does not.
