Simply put it, a blog is a website that is often updated with content called “blog posts”. Most often, the latest blog post will be shown at the top of the blog.
Someone who blogs is called a “blogger”. When a blogger updates his blog, he is “blogging”.
(Wow, I’m seriously not used to formal-ish writing. I’m not even good
When you seek advice from most Internet Marketers. They all have a common phrase: “Money is in the list”. What this means is that you build a blog, send traffic and capture visitors with an auto-responder and follow up with marketing emails to sell your products or other people’s products as an affiliate. This business model works but it limits your profits, read on to see how.

So without further ado, here are the results…

Start a blog and make money
Now since almost 50% is making $0-$100/month, starting tomorrow until the next 2 weeks, I’m going to post EVERYTHING someone new to making money with blogging will need to start a blog.
I’m not that good at teaching (obviously, I can’t even get my spelling and grammar write!) but I’ll do my best ;-)
The posts will vary in text and video. It’ll be advance strategies that will take new bloggers from 0 to where they want to go.
I see a lot of bloggers giving the tip “Traffic now, monetize later” then telling that it’s more important to concentrate on getting traffic and building readership first BEFORE you monetize your blog.
I don’t agree.
Now here’s the 3 reasons why you SHOULD monetize your blog before even launching it:
Yes it is important to get traffic and build a good relationship to your readers…
But why not do it while monetizing your blog?
It only takes several minutes to setup some simple monetization for a blog – or if you’re like me who can’t figure out HTML, it’s going to take a couple of hours but after that it’s good to go :-)
Why you shouldn’t monetize your blog now
There’s a downside though.
Monetizing your blog can make you a bit statsaholic and make you check your Affiliate account/Adsense account from time to time. While you see cents everyday, it drives your focus of generating
The last couple of months I got the most severe case of… guess what?
MULTI TASKING.
Seriously, I’ve been juggling 5 projects. Add to that the holidays plus school work (I’m at senior year, high school)
All this time I’ve been blind. Multi tasking…
Made me work more
And work more…
BUT with all those work, believe it or not, my earnings decreased.
The TRUE Secret
With that experience, I realized how important the tip “focus” is. I knew it before and I’ve heard of it a lot of times but I never really paid that much attention to it.
But before that, let me show some examples (cause i find it funny that even before, focus really IS the true secret)
300 – 300 Spartans fought thousands of Persian soldiers by focusing on one little narrow pass called Thermopylae. They funneled all the Persian soldiers in
I assume you’re reading this blog because you want to know how to make money online. If you’re still struggling and wonder how to go about doing it, then read the following business model which virtually guarantees success.
There are 4 reasons why you’re not profiting online:
1. Lack of visitors
If no one knows what you’re selling, then obviously you won’t make any sales.
The life line of any online business is getting traffic to the website.
2. Unwanted Offer
Even if you have tons of traffic, it’s totally useless if you’re selling something no one wants to buy.
Persuading someone to buy something they’re not interested in, is not easy. Make sure you sell what people want.
3. Small Profits
Entrepreneurs promote one affiliate product for $20-$30 and then the next. To make a good living online, they need to sell hundreds per month.
Carl Ocab is one of the most successful teenage bloggers on the net. But remarkably, Carl was just 13 years old when he rose to fame with his hugely popular “make money online” website: www.carlocab.com
When I first heard that there was a 13 year old making blogging waves, I had to check it out, and I am glad I did. I contacted Carl and helped get one of his interviews on the Digg.com homepage with the headline: “Mommy, can I cash my Google Cheque yet?”
We really hit it off since, and I have been keen to interview him here at DeanHunt.
Despite being 13 years old and not a native English speaker, Carl has proved that if you are passionate enough, then no obstacles are too high.
