How to Start a Blog That Makes Money: For RealHow to start a blog may the question on your mind, but maybe it should actually be... ...how to start one that makes money. And there is a big difference between the two. Just creating a blog with no real target in mind won't generate dollars. Neither will the fanciest blog on earth, if it doesn't have great content. And for that matter...blogs with great content get passed up in the search engines all the time. So what is the key to unlocking the bank vault (so to speak)? How to start a blog that makes money isn't easy if you don't know the money-making rules! There is a way, though, if you're serious about wanting to learn. Program Review: Atomic BloggingWhen I first read the title, I groaned; give me a break! So I passed on it at the time.A while later, something was bugging me; I had this blog and knew it had some great content. Why wasn't I getting the traffic? Because as you know, no traffic means no income. Oh sure, I was getting some traffic and making some money. Just not enough to do more than buy a fast-food dinner for two each month with the blog income. I was missing some pieces of the puzzle, but wasn't sure where. Then a friend with a successful blog recommended an ebook to me; it sounded great, so I thought I'd take a look. What? Atomic Blogging? Isn't this the same one that I passed on before? Yes it was. And now it was time for me to decide if I should break down, get the ebook and really give it a try...or keep doing what I was doing? While I didn't exactly need to know how to start a blog, I did need help with building the traffic. Well, the fact that it had a money-back guarantee helped, so I figured I may as well buy it. Atomic Blogging, here I come. How to Start a Blog...That Makes MoneyI do know some search engine optimization -- meta tags, keywords, etc. -- so I wasn't sure what the Atomic Blogging system would do for me. But I figured that if I was going to try it, I was going to give it my best effort.And you know what? By the time I really started reading this ebook, and looking at all the tools provided, I was impressed. It wasn't just a "build a blog and they will come" book. Instead, it gave you actual steps and walks you through examples of how to start a blog that makes money -- from the very start. What I LikedThe ebook is broken down into ten chapters that are easy to read and understand. They are:
Each chapter is loaded with ideas and practical strategies for building a blog that will make the money. It's not for the faint of heart; there is definitely work involved, and it won't happen overnight. Atomic Blogging is not a get-rich-quick. What it is a guide for making the very best decisions, to give you blog the highest chances for success. Well, not only does Alvin Phang (the author) give you information, but he puts his money where his mouth is and gives you the tools you can use! He especially emphasizes choose your blog theme carefully, with an eye to the search engines. He also explains why you should care about the keywords you use, how often to use them and how to use your blog to make the most of them. There's no tip-toeing around; if you want to know how to start a blog that makes money, you need all the tools you can get. And that includes using WordPress as your blogging platform, as it has the best SEO features of any blogging software. So don't even think about using Blogger or any of the other free services! This system is playing for keeps. What I Didn't LikeAlvin talks about the ways you can make money from your blog, and they are indeed great ideas. But there's only one problem. For most (but not all) of the ideas, you need some substantial traffic before you can even participate!For example, if you want to get paid to write reviews on your blog, you have to be getting a lot of traffic before the advertisers will want to even talk to you. That was kind of glossed over. Sure, you can make money from these methods...but the time it takes to ramp up wasn't really spelled out. (Here's a hint: it will take more than a few months unless you can do this full time from the very start.) On the other hand, Alvin did describe some ways to make money from your blog that you can use even if you don't have any traffic. (Granted if you have no traffic you have no sales...but the point is you can implement the monetization immediately. And the income grows with the traffic) Why I Recommend Attomic BloggingI am recommending this e-package because I see that it works. Period.I recommend it because it is not get rich quick -- it is an honest business and profession you can be proud of. No pyramids, no hype, just real work and real results. I recommend Atomic Blogging because of the quality of the tools and software that come with the package. It's much, much more than just an ebook. It's a roadmap. Even now, I go back and re-read chapters from time to time; beyond learning, it's also an excellent reference. Anyway, that's my opinion and review, if you want to know how to start a blog that makes money. Is it right for you? Only you can answer that one. But if you are intrigued, click here and you'll be wisked to the site. Take a look and decide for yourself if it's the right purchase.
