Tips on Blogging for Dollars
Saturday August 9, 2008
Having trouble making the money you hoped to make from your blog?
Over at Wordtracker Keywords, Rachelle Money sat down for a QandA with Chris Garrett. Chris is one of those people who's been there and done that, a professional blogger (see www.chrisg.com/)and co-author of the recently published ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income and his answers to Rachelle's questions are illuminating.
Chris says that there are basically three ways to make money blogging - using it to advertise your services, making money from ads, and subscriptions - but only if you get the knack of blogging right. And getting it right requires a focus on content and audience that's more about engagement than selling.
The keys to engaging your audience are adding newness, being unique and linking out.

"(The) thing with my own personal blog", Chris says, "is that I want to keep talking to my small but engaged audience. It's not about traffic but people who really want to hear from me and buy my services. I'd rather have 10 people that really want to hear from me than a million that I kind of miss."More on Making Money From a Blog

I found a free CD that shows people how to start Blogging for Dollars I just got mine and it’s pretty good so far I made $10 the other day with adsense and I didn’t really do anything.
