SEO writing and keyword knowledge

SEO writing isn't hard if you keep it in mind whenever you write a blog, but here's another tip for you. Get the LableList gadget on your blog. List your posts with keywords in it. Every time you make a new post be sure to use your keywords directly relating to your keywords. That should be easy because you should be excited to write about these subjects. Again, Adwords has a great keyword tool to help you decide what keywords to use. It all does pay off but you do need to be patient. Although my income has climbed it's still only about .50 a day, I enjoy it so much it' like getting paid for doing a hobby!
Every time you are done writing a blog refer to this list before assigning labels to it. Refer to this list before you start thinking about your next blog. Look for keywords that relate only to the subject you are writing about. For example I used SEO and SEO writing for this blog. I can't think of many other subjects that would use this term. So when people are using this keyword to look up information about websites they may find this post and if they find this post they will see my list of labels to organize it for them to actually find what I wrote about it. Yes, they may spend less time reading my site but it won't be frustrating for them and make them go away, FOREVER! 

Making money from blogging

I am making money blogging. I didn't pay a cent for it. I just went in to see how much money I've earned since I started back in February of 2009. While its true I've only made $14. 74, it's intangible assets out weight the minimal drawbacks.
Starting a blog means I have a website. Blogger is free. It's limitations are not that much different from any you would pay for. I haven't found one for less than $120 a year.
I've learned a lot about good SEO writing. Just writing a bunch of words down does not get you an audience. Learning SEO writing is free, just do the research!
You don't have to blog every day. Just looking at this one you'll see I don't. Still I've made on average $0.06 a day.
Another way to gather a free audience is to go to personal blogs that are close to your content and comment. Refer anyone who may have read your blog to websites you find informative and interesting and relate to what YOUR AUDIENCE is interested in. Number one rule of blogging: always remember your audience. Completely changing the subject even a little bit will not keep people interested, especially if you change your subject a lot.
Create a blog that is of interest to a world wide audience. I have a lot of people from Russia reading this single blog. There are English speaking people in Russia, as a second language. Also there are now many online translating sites.
Once in a while I use Hit2Hit to gain free traffic. It looks like it may be a waist of time but I have found out otherwise. I have gained 1 follower from clicking on that site. It also doesn't waste my time. I take my laptop to the family room when no one is home. I go down to watch a two hour movie. I click away mindlessly throughout the length of the movie. The word traffic and audience are two different things. You gain your audience from your traffic. It will increase your bounce rate temporarily, but keeping in mind the work you've done on Hit2Hit you shouldn't be bothered by this.
The longer your blog has been online the higher it's ranking in the search engines. The title of each blog reaches more people. This is why it's so important to learn at least a little about good SEO writing.
There are a number of other assets to this but these are the main ones, other than enjoying what you're writing about. I travel with a note book and write down ideas I may have while away from my computer.
Your single drawback is the amount of money you make. Yes, it takes a long time for a blog to gain a decent audience. People in Adsence say it takes 1000 hits a day to start making money. The more you learn, the more you'll earn.

I'm really thinking that maybe I should test the waters for advertising

If someone comes along that I know and respect and tells me the best way to make my money work for me I may advertise! I hate the idea of spending money but, I'd like to test it out. But first I have to get some money. I'd like to start a blog about scams. There is much "food" there.

Advertising under false pretences

Hi you guys. I hope your income is growing. Mine is but I still research, research, research. Have you seen the newer websites getting advertised that seem to be about something else entirely? These are a first for me. The ones that thoroughly disgust me try to sell me a program based on the fact it is to benefit a Christian belief or a family whose bread winner recently had some terrible form of cancer. All you need to do is to sell all your friends and family on joining the site and hopefully buy something from it. Then you keep part of the profit. I know these people hope they have you guilted out of your cut in the meantime. In return you will help "Save the last nickel" church or "Joe Cancer" survive another month. I urge you to do some research. If they aren't listed in the phone book they probably don't exist. Just doing an online search for something related to them should turn up some results. If those results come from another form of the group or completely positive opinions something is wrong. Try to find a result from a website you trust. Just because someone says they have cancer doesn't guarantee they do. If their illegal money is gained solely comes from online they can never be prosecuted.

weight loss

This is my big tip of the year. Weight loss. It is the biggest, fastest growing, recession prof program/industry on the internet! Because the internet is set up the way it is there is no competition to worry about. Start a free blog about it. Fill it with links to programs and other peoples stories about it. Have you lost any weight lately? Write about it. If you've lost a lot of weight, even better! And when you hit the big time come back here and tell me about it. 

Making money from blogging

We all want to make online income. To wake up in the morning to find out we made money from blogging, websites, what ever, is a good feeling
Since I began blogging in November of 2010 my income has grown from a penny a day to an average of 61 cents a day. That's how long it takes to build income from it. I now have seven blogs. That's enough to scare a lot of people off unless they know the "science" of creating income from blogging. Then everyone has their personal style. My style is to write about things I'm passionate about. I know I come up with thoughts during the week I can blog about in each one. Sometimes I come up with things I want to write about twice or three times a week. Two of my blogs are about my hobbies; retirement goals and cooking for the diabetic without having to announce to the world I eat like a diabetic. I hate that. I also write about a serious medical condition I have which is popular world wide. I know that eventually three of these blogs will be going away but, I have a list of ideas that they can be replaced with. I guess what I'm getting to is you have to experiment and practice day after day. You have to keep your mind on key words that people will actually put in a search bar that a search engine will actually look for.
You may or may have not noticed that there is an avalanche of information out on the web designed to only sell you something. As you begin to make money from whatever you're doing you will notice it actually gets worse! I received a phone call from someone because I was curious about getting a logo. They said online that they would email my information to me, but called me instead. They wanted to know just exactly what my business was selling. I could honestly say "nothing". With that alone they wished me luck and bid me good day.
Everyone is saying business today has to be about helping people. I wish that were true. It's about convincing people to buy something from you that will help them! Period. I on the other hand truly want to help people by telling them about my experience doing what ever I've done that may interest others. I seriously want to brand that and put a logo on it. Why? Because I want people to associate anything I say with enough trust that they can at least get a "heads up" or at least put it in the back of their minds moving forward with whatever their goals are.
I hope this was of help to you in some way. I'll be talking to you soon!

Is loot2boot a scam?

Today I’m going to spend a bunch of time talking about scams. They have gotten even better at disguising themselves.

Today I went into Craigslist.com. I have found legitimate paying positions through Craigslist. You just need to remember this is a free posting site so anyone can post anything in the hopes of snagging you into their web of lies for free. One such place is Loot2boot. No, they did not get my money, but they did get my time. This is irritating.

Under Customer service I found “are you great on the computer?” Looking for agents to work l, both full time and part time. So I emailed them for more information. Kobie King sent me an email back with a website. I clicked on the site and the first yellow flag went up for me. The web site wants you to view a webinar that lasts a little over 13 minutes, during which this person spends over 6 minutes telling me it costs me nothing, they will never ask for money, etc. He keeps repeating these words and says nothing about an actual job. It introduces you to the website you need to utilize to “just complete one offer”.  I went into this website where the instructions to gain access to this money making idea gave me red flags. You need to work only through Firefox and gmail. You either need a paypal account or get “a company debit card”. Those three things don’t bother me much as I have and use Firefox, gmail and paypal. What I didn’t like was the instructions following that information. You have to go into settings in your computer. You must accept cookies and third party cookies. Before you gain access to their offers you must complete all of their requirements listed.

I then went on to do a search whether it’s a scam or not. The results I got from Google made me a little more than nervous. I asked if Loot2boot.com was a scam. I received a list of sites that seemed to say the same thing. “It is” and “I recommend this site instead”. All those sites were set up the same way. So I paged in a little further and found a reference to someone I both respect and admire. I copied and pasted that one and asked him if it was true and correct. I received no response. I have the feeling it is true because he never discusses how he runs his business. If it was not he would be quick to respond.

There are just too many “red lights going up for me. I’m going to skip this one.

Neo Bux is a joke

Because of the nature of what I do I have to belong to some sites and work them to gain enough knowledge to recommend them to others looking for a way to make income online. Neobux was one such site. Granted four cents a day isn’t much but when I add that to my income from everything else I do I can make some decent money. Unfortunately Neo Bux is not a site I can recommend any more. Unless you have your own referral network in place and you know they will be joining the site swiftly there is no money to be made. They’ve made a lot of changes to attract these kinds of referral marketers only; anyone else spends way too much time in their site for one cent a day.

The really strange part is when I went into the forum to ask about this situation at first I was given all kinds of suggestions by the administrators. They suggested I go into their site “several” times a day and I will probably make more than I used to. Before the changes I would go into NeoBux at least 6 times a day, twice in the morning, twice in the afternoon and twice at night. Because I have the attitude of “giving it my all” I increased this to 12 times a day. It didn’t work. After 2 weeks I gave up and said I’m making nothing and have no reason to refer anyone to this site. I went in to check out if anyone answered my post and it was gone! It just disappeared! I have the feeling all the “exciting” changes made were to benefit their income and not to attract new and budding marketers. It’s no longer a beginner’s site which is a shame. But they obviously ran the numbers and the statistics that came from their spreadsheets said they gain very little from beginners. Clixsense and Mylot are the winners of the beginners sites. I really hate to see that. Oh well I make about sixteen cents a day from those two alone. That’s $4.80 per month. It wouldn’t be so bad if they hadn’t  deleted my post.

SEO friendly writing

To me SEO writing is just like running a news paper or magazine. Yes I did, in college. They make you do a lot of things you think you’ll never need in the future.) First you pick a subject you know lots of people are interested in, like for example: socks. Everyone wants and needs them. Then you pick a title like: Socks for every occasion. Then start finding brand names of socks and list every possible thing people would want to know about each brand. You want to talk about what they’re made of, where to get them, their website, etc. Organize everything by keywords and wait for the money to flow in! Sorry about that but I couldn’t resist.

You need titles (headlines) that catch people’s eye. A news paper is organized as the latest news, finance, business, classifieds, etc. These are key words. Over time you should be collecting enough material and key words to increase your web site’s standing with the search engines.
