Ramit Sethi Answers How to Make Money Blogging
© technotheory
A recent interview was conducted with Ramit Sethi, the master blogger, and it was interesting to understand his insights and lessons on how to make money blogging. Sethi is the founder of iwillteachyoutoberich.com, and he's also released a book under the same name as his website which ended up as a New York Times bestseller. His website and book both focus on helping people with personal finance and entrepreneurship with over 100,000 unique visitors coming to his website per month.

Sethi's strongest advice is to find a niche for your blog, and then to write unique content for it. Develop your own voice so that you stand out from the crowd. This will help you to become noticed and differentiated from others in your niche.

The Zen of Blogging

The Zen of Blogging
© john_a_ward


Do you make more money with a good blog or a bad blog?

Before I answer that, let me introduce a radical idea that may not have occurred to you: some people blog without any real thought of getting money from it. They get some perverse pleasure from just creating good content - especially if it makes some point they want to promote or advocates some idea they think is important. Usually such bloggers write things that are strangely personal, even sharing intimate details of their lives. And (brace yourself) people read these blogs.

I enjoyed reading The Zen of Blogging a few days ago. And the answer to the opening question is that you make more money with a good blog. Of course, it helps to know what constitutes a good blog.

Blogging is a lot like most service occupations. If you're in it mostly for the money, you should probably be doing something else. It's a catch-22. People who decide to blog because they want to blog often make money at it. On the other hand, people who decide to blog because they want to make money usually don't...

Google Reveals AdSense Revenue Share

Filed in archive Did you know on June 19, 2010

google-adsense-logo-300x225.jpg
If you are Using Google Adsense to monetize your blog you already know that you...don't know how much money does Google keep for itself from AdSense ads. Unless you're a big publisher, Google will not tell you. Although they "preach" data liberation.
Google has kept its AdSense revenue share numbers a secret for quite some time, but thanks to an anti-trust investigation in Italy has now decided to disclose them - or at least some of them.

It's simple. Google brokers ads for web sites, keeping some of what an advertiser will spend for itself. Imagine that an advertiser agrees to pay $1 per click for an ad distributed through Google's AdSense network. Google might pay publishers carrying that ad 90% of the amount - or 75% - or 50% - or whatever it decides. Publishers themselves aren't told how much is kept.

Until now most publishers didn't know. AdSense was largely a black box for publishers. They agreed to carry ads from Google. Those ads generated revenue. Google deducts a cut and gives the rest to the publisher, but the percentage deducted wasn't disclosed. The exception was for large publishers who negotiate deals to carry AdSense ads.

The “How To Make Money” Industry SCAM

Filed in archive Information About on June 14, 2010

The “How To Make Money” Industry SCAM
There's a bunch of people, right now, being scammed with yet another "how to make money" book or audio course or video course or seminar… or whatever.

Here's a twist though: the "scam" is they're own doing.

The product and the information and the offer are likely entirely legit and entirely useful… but the large majority continually scams themselves by telling themselves that "I just don't know enough to get started". Maybe it's fear-of-success and a bit of self-doubt.

I'm not ready.

I can't do this.

I don't deserve it…

… So instead I'll go read a little more, buy a new home - study course, attend a new seminar so that I can learn of yet another perfectly effective and highly lucrative way to make money.

Otherwise rational and intelligent masses scam them-selves out of the benefits they could be enjoying if they simply took action on that idea.

Regardless if that snazzy idea is one that you dreamed up or if it was delivered to you on a silver platter with bullet
points and video tutorials and instructions in a course you paid for… if you keep letting yourself get in your own way and you never engage that money-strategy, you'll never see results.

So why aren't you making the extra money you need and want?

Well, as I just mentioned, it's definitely not because of a shortage of ideas. The ideas and strategies are there.
