Affiliate Opportunities Making Money With A Blog

Ok, you just are at the internet and discovered you would like to make money online, as many peoplo out there are doing. But your first question is: What are the steps in a marketing strategy?

More than that, you may asd how do internet affiliate programs work?

There are many books out there talking about make money with a blog. The article below talks about it and I believe it can bring you some precious information.


How To Successfully Make Money Blogging

Author: Maki Lee

If you are thinking of setting up a make money blog that
reviews ways to make money online or lists methods of making
money blogging, don't - especially if you are relatively new to
making money online.

Don't get me wrong. It is not impossible to make money with a
blog - just very much harder to do so in the money niche.

Why is that so?

Firstly there is just too much competition. Unless you are a
prolific writer who can research stellar articles other bloggers
in your niche cannot match up to, it will be nearly impossible
to get a slice of the money pie.

Secondly, readers of make money blogs are internet savvy people
who are blind to ads and won't click on your affiliate link
unless you are a top blogger with thousands of regular readers.

Most importantly, getting to the front of search engine results
page will be an uphill climb. When your article appears on the
first page of SERPs, it means an explosion of traffic as more
people are exposed to your article. As a result, your blog
becomes more well known.

There are over 50 million pages on making money online. What
are your chances of overtaking these millions of pages, many of
which are highly popular sites with tens of thousands of daily
readers?

But that's not to say you can't make money blogging. Just
choose a less competitive niche. If you take a look at the top
money making niches, you can see there are many other
possibilities you can tap into.

The most profitable niches at the moment are:

Making Money Online
Weight Loss
Quit Smoking
Credit and Credit Repair
Weight Gain and Building Muscles
Running a Home Business
Training Pets
Learning Techniques such as Memory, Speed Reading
Learning a Language
Relationships and Divorce
Gaming eg. Runescape, World of Warcraft

These will be very competitive since they are high earners. How
about going even more niche? For example, instead of focussing
on training pets, go more specific - training dogs. Or even more
specific - training chihuahuas.

How do you know if there is a market for this niche? Use a free
online keyword service such as Wordtracker or AdWords Keyword
Tool and see how many searches a month there are for related
keywords.

Then do a search in Google and see if there are any ads on the
side of the search results. If there are many advertisers, then
there must be a market.

Sometimes, the most mundane topic can be the top money earner.
Guess what are some of the top paying keywords? They are loan
consolidation, insurance quotes and structured settlement.

Hardly exciting topics to write about. In any case, these will
be too competitive unless you manage to discover a sub niche of
these profitable topics.

The ideal scenario would be to find a niche topic that you are
passionate about so that writing won't become a chore. However,
you will find that it may not be possible.

So ultimately, you have to decide what you want from your blog.
Is it merely an online journal to document a hobby or do you
want to make money with it?
