Quickly build readership to your blog.

I was grossly mistaken long before while trying to earn money by blogging. I totally ignored the importance of building up readership to my blogs and just concentrated on earning money.

Years of blogging, reading thousands of blog posts and participating in blogger forums taught me valuable lessons. I can't say I have built up a huge database of readers but it is slowly growing.

Today, I found out an useful way to increase regular visitors to my blogs. If you want to have a look in, please create a blog with Blog Stream. Forget about monetizing your free blog for once and just concentrate on providing quality content that will steadily lure people to your blog.

Then start steering them to your other blogs that you have set up to earn money.

Now, please go to Blog Stream and create your free blog. Please note that there are nearly 70,ooo members that have totally created 3, 66,000 blog posts. Blog Stream takes pain to promote your blog.

Do you see the potential?

Earn from your site feed.

What I foresee in the long run is more ways to monetize your blog's RSS feed. RSS feed subcription by email is a great feature in the Internet. By this way, bloggers offer to show their blog content to their feed subscribers the full content of their blog.

What is the disadvantage in this method is you are shutting off your regular visitors from your blog thus losing the probabilities of AdSense clicks. Other link and banner ads you might have adverised are also losing views and clicks.

To overcome this problem, Google has come forward to display Google ads in your blog feed also. To ustilise this option, you must go to your AdSense account and click on 'Adsense Setup' button and click on "AdSense for feeds".

Just follow the easy onscreen displays and you are done.

I expect more advertisers will conatct if your feed count shows three digits.

Sales jobs available.

If there is one job category where there is a constant and recession proof demand, it is sales-agreed?

One can manufacture anything easily but selling is not that easy. Selling requires turning the negative into positive and creating opportunities from nothing.

My husband has earned the reputation as a top sales man. He could sell water in Chirrapunchi.

He remembered reading an anecdote when he just started his sales career.

“An Indian shoe company sent two sales representatives out to different parts of India and asked them if they could sell shoes in remote villages.

Both reported back to the company.
The first said, "No business there . . . natives don't wear shoes."
The second one said, "Great opportunity in many places. Natives don't wear shoes!"

If you think you belong to the second category, then you can apply for one of the sales manager jobs. There are literally thousands of sales jobs listed at salesjobs.net

All the best.

Work from home guide.

A friend of mine has published an e-book. It is a guide to serious minded moms and dads who aspire to work from home.

The book costs only $17 and of course it is very affordable. This guide proposes a realistic 15 hours work a week when compared to hundreds of similar guides that says you work just 30 minutes a week to get rich.

There is no program in the Internet that can fetch you $2000 per month immediately after you have read a work from home guide.

Every business has its start up problems and every business requires a deep learning. Since I have not read this e-book, I cannot offer my opinion on the content of the guide. So, please weigh all the pros and cons before you buy.

Remember, the author of the book offers a 60 day, 100% money back guarantee.

Save money for your customers.

I am a very untidy person. I am not organized at all. It is just not in my blood. My husband grew tired educating me. He will say it will take the same time to keep a thing in an orderly manner as keeping it clumsily.

Every day, I spend a minimum of 30 minutes to search for something or the other. Yesterday, it was the official receipt for my own toll free number that I paid for my office.

At the end of an academic year and at the beginning of also, I receive 20 calls a day. Before getting the toll free number, I used to attend all the calls and at the end of the day, I would have talked for more than 8 hours including the classroom hours.

For this toll free number, I have activated the voice mail and that saved me precious time and energy.

In my city, toll free numbers are becoming increasingly popular for personal use also.

The parents of my students are leaving messages of gratitude as their calls are not charged now. I believe it is important business acumen.

A free online blogging community.

I was introduced to Ben Ogden (virtually) and that led me to find out about Thoughts.com, a free online blogging community.

A blogging community is a place for blogger to interact. I love these community of bloggers. Such places have been a great source of learning and also an excellent source to build up readership for my blogs.
Thoughts.com also gives you a free blog with unlimited bandwidth. Bloggers can create blog, upload audios and videos and photos.

There is also a forum which has taken off at full speed. The forum is huge with plenty of topics that are diverse. It has about 96,000 members but only 10% are active.

Bogging communities are very useful avenues for blog promotion and blog traffic.

Incidentally, Ben Ogden is the founder and CEO of thoughts.com.

Always eat your dessert first.

We heed only what we want to. For example the title, “Always eat your dessert first” is actually preceded by “Life is unsure; always eat your dessert first”.

It is meant to tell something else but we take it as per our convenience and eat the dessert first as well as at the last. Do you mean to say that we are not conscious of the after effects by this eating habit?

No obviously!

So, when the truth and the fat make us gain weight, we reach out to Fenphedra and the likes that activate a signal in our brain that makes you think you are full.

How come wisdom is always late?

All blogs get found.

It works like this. Scoutle allots a crawling robot. Wherever you go in the web, it follows you.

It then remembers your basic interest in the Internet. It then goes on his own for a while, crawls the web and bring you visitors to your blog.

And who are these visitors. They are the ones who have visited the websites you have also visited.

Isn't that a genius concept in Internet marketing?

Go to Scoutle.com and first read 'how it works in detail'.
To quote them:
"You create a Scout that will walk all over the Internet for you, searching and indexing interesting websites while in the meantime he promotes your own website."

This can be an excellent avenue for bloggers to promote their blogs. This can evolve in to a great blogging community.

This concept needs a plug from all the bloggers. Will you?

What can you buy at Reid Supply?

My son had been under our van for more than 30 minutes. The van, whose groans we have been ignoring, finally stopped complaining and stared at us on the middle of nowhere. My son’s limited automotive knowledge and my husband’s persistent reminders that he replaced the ball lock pins only recently were not enough to get the vehicle back up on the road.

My son finally retorted back at his father that his untimely expenditure on ball lock pins won’t move the van and there is something else wrong with the vehicle.

After two hours, an angel sent by God in the form of an ambulance, heard our SOS and agreed to tow back the stranded machine and the human beings to the nearest gas station.

God was also kind as he ensured to dispatch an empty ambulance on our way. For a change, it was broad day light instead of a dark night when such mishaps happen usually.

Flipping blogs to earn online.

Did you notice a sudden spurt in the Internet in earning money by flipping blogs? Or is it only me who is seeing ads, blog posts everywhere on blog flipping? Am I gearing up towards blog flipping?

I think so. After seeing and reading information about how to make money by blog flipping, the idea might have seeped into me. I had in fact gave away PR3 blogs free of cost to a few friends of mine. I realize now that had I sold them, I could be debt free now.

If you search for information on blog flipping, you won't find any worthy guidelines in the Internet. It seems the authors about blog flipping are also testing the waters.

I hear you. Yes, I too am testing the waters through this blog post. Let me see if I come across any good material on blog flipping.

How to get unique colors for templates?

Bloggers, webmasters and mere browsers never fail to appreciate a template when they get attracted first by the colors and then probably by the design.

It is the colors that brings one to a website during casual surfing. I have liked hundreds of websites purely for the color on the header or the color of the background.

Here is a fantastic web tool that will give you the exact color codes of any color that you see in the Internet. It is an unbelievable tool that just asks you to key in the image URL of the website that you like for its colors.

It instantly generates the corresponding color codes. Try it out at Color Palette Generator.

Increase link popularity instantly.

Opinion may differ but there is a semblance of truth in the effectiveness of increasing the link popularity through reciprocal link exchange.

There is a widespread opinion that reciprocal link exchange has fallen out of Google's favoritism. Why then Google is giving a widget to host your own blogroll in your blog? Some (many?) say that reciprocal link exchange should be done with only related blogs.

I beg to differ. I really like to visit several blogs on a regular basis that are not in my blog's niche. Why shouldn't I include them in the list of my favorites?

Blogosphere is a big community of helping each other and I think it is ethical to exchange links with the blogs I like.

If you agree with me, use Links Pal to exchange links. It is free. You can exchange links with blogs in your niche also as the links are neatly categorized.

Earn by writing blog posts.

Create Buzz Online is the latest entrant in the blog advertising medium. So, as of now, there are 32 websites that pay bloggers to blog. Quite a count-eh?

When I started blogging in the year 2005, there were only about 6 Internet marketing companies in the 'get paid to post' sector. It has been steadily growing since then. But there are quite a few companies that are struggling now to get advertisers while some have grown big.

Create Buzz Online, is the first Indian company in the blog advertising industry. They launched about a month ago when I was invited to register my blogs with them. They took a long time to give me the first paid assignment.

The expect the blog post to be with 200 to 250 words which I feel is long and not advisable though I complied when I wrote two blog posts for their first assignment which are worth about $6 per post. They pay in INR by cheque.

The approval time is also not quick but I believe it will pick up in future. They are a 'just born' company. Give them a hug please.
