Blog Traffic Beyond the Basics, Between the Predators
Filed under: Blog Traffic, Blogger Blog, Make Money, WordPress Blog
What kind of blogs are getting traffic now?
Is your blog getting any traffic at all? What are you doing about it?
With hundreds of thousands of blogs competing for our attention it is becoming difficult to stand out and be noticed.
Blog Traffic Beyond the Basics
Most of the tips and tricks taught such as bookmarking in social bookmarking sites, or submitting articles etc. do not yield as much benefit as they did before because everyone is doing it and it is likely you are invisible in the crowd.
Leading internet marketers who are on top of the food chain have started their own social bookmarking sites or blog networking sites. They get traffic to their sites by drawing other bloggers who are craving for traffic.
John Reese's Blog Rush is one such network. I go and sign up with my blog and whether I get traffic or not, Blog Rush has got me to visit them. And I will visit them repeatedly to add my blog, to check my statistics and to know where I stand.
But I like Blog Rush for their sincerity and promptness in evaluating the quality of blogs they accept. Some of my blogs with less unique content were rejected and my blogs with original content were approved. The evaluation was prompt, the communication was precise and professional and motivating to submit quality blogs.
Other tactics such as creating 50 squidoo pages, hub pages or whatever, bookmarking them in all the social networking sites, pinging RSS services with each and every bit of info about us is going to increase the trash of virtual world. So much duplicate content flooding the virtual world will let us all drown and perish eventually.
At some point we will have to think of recycling the garbage and making Space friendly sites – sites that automatically degrade themselves and disappear in space…
Since we are able to see where the future is going why not take steps to avoid being buried under space dump?
If you are on top of the food ladder, create networks that wean out trash rather than suggest techniques that increase the speed of garbage creation.
If you are at the bottom of the food chain, it will benefit you to create one quality site, bookmark it in social networking sites, join quality networks such as Blog Rush and put all your energy to add quality to your blog rather than waste it on 100 sites.
I am talking from experience. I started with one good site and it is still getting me good returns in Google AdSense and other programs. I have traffic, regular repeated visitors and personal satisfaction. I started 100 other sites after that thinking that I was multiplying my income 100 times and miserably failed.
Had I spent all my energy on this one site, further developing and improving it I might have increased its earning potential and be very proud of my achievement. Instead the sales letter trick calculations of $1 per site means $100 for 100 sites caught me and I let my energy be dissipated into 100 useless avenues. I hardly had time to work on that one site which was getting me good returns.
For the same reason I like the Maven Matrix Manifesto of Rich Schefren. You focus establishing yourself as a Maven in your industry and you will automatically get traffic, followers and good returns.
Between the predators
If I move up the food chain and start a social networking site myself, I would suggest it to all my subscribers to bookmark their sites on networking sites. I no longer resort to bookmarking, I don’t need it anymore because I can earn through the networking site I have created and by teaching the value of bookmarking to others.
Rich Schefren and Jay Abraham’s report is different in the sense it is not a leader seeking followers, or one on top of the food chain gathering food by suggesting others follow what they themselves have given up. It is a process of leaders creating more leaders at the risk of increasing their own population at the top of the food chain.
Of course they have moved one step up and they are making money by coaching mavenhood to others. But their competence, sincerity and over deliverance of whatever they take up adds value to their program and many will focus their energy on this one thing rather than waste it in hundred avenues.
Mind Power that is beyond your physical actions has tremendous energy to draw to yourself whatever you desire. But the requirement is focussed attention and constant action in a specific direction.
Set a goal for yourself.
Prepare a blue print.
Shut out all distractions.
Focus your energy on that one goal.
Take precautions to avoid temptations (the most devious sales letter should not be able to work on you and convince you to buy something else..)
Persist in your efforts to achieve your goal.
If you need to change your goal for whatever reason, repeat the whole process with the new goal.
One important side effect of this process, which is more important than achieving your present goal is:
The ability to focus your energy on one goal at a time and putting in concentrated efforts.
This in itself gives such a momentum to your actions that it starts a snowball effect leading to your grand success.

i want Earn money by online programe but i dont know how earn it
Filed under: Blogger Blog, Free Resources, Google AdSense, Make Money, Writing to Earn
Question: i want Earn money by online programe but i dont know how earn it. i am very poor man please tell me about it. sorry sir i dont know english lenguage.
thanks
Answer: In my helpdesk How to Make Money Questions, I get 100s of such emails. All the emails have a similar message.
My answer to all of you:
1. Beware of Scam Sites. Do not pay money to scam sites that promise rewards in thousands of dollars overnight for no work. Do not borrow loans to invest in scam schemes.
2. Begin Learning: You want to earn online but you do not know how. The first thing you need to do is to find out how, learn it thoroughly and do it well. There are many ways of earning online and you need to master each one in the course of time. Start with one way of earning online and then diversify your efforts.
3. Develop Skills and Work for Others: If you do not have money to invest in online ventures, you need to start working for others and begin earning. Part of that money you earn, you can invest to earn more. By working for others you can develop your skills too, as they would tell you what they want you to do. But to make a beginning you have to have some skills to get yourself employment. First start your own blogger blog, get traffic to it and start earning through Google AdSense.
Read these two posts:
Online Business and Offline Business - Money and Skills
Decide what you want to sell and start a blog
4. Identify Your Skills: So you need some basic skills for others to give you an online job. On what basis will they give you a job? You need to assess your own skills. What are the things you can do well? Can you write good articles? Do you like interacting with people on the social networking sites, yahoo groups or Orkut groups? Are you good at designing, cartooning, photography, video creation? What work are you doing now? Which part of your school/college study or present job skill you can share with others?
5. Sell Yourself: Write a brief summary of your skills and abilities and advertise your talent for others to recruit you. Send me your write-ups to post on this blog, post it on places such as Craiglist.com, elance.com, naukri.com, monster.com and so on. When you are applying for an online job do not prepare the usualy resume with how much you scored in your highschool. Nobody bothers about it. Write about what you have done online so far, how many hours you can be available online and what type of work you are ready to learn, ready to do… Say something about your sincerity, your ability to stick to jobs and complete them and your honesty in keeping things confidential.
6. Learn on Job: While doing a job for someone learn everything possible in that job. Do not fulfill job requirements as a chore to be completed to get paid. Use it as an opportunity to learn and remember eventually you want to be on your own. Seize every opportunity to learn and take yourself one step ahead of where you are now.
7. Invest Part of Your Earning: You must set aside part of your earning for investment. You need not buy all the products that come along. But you need basic things such as domain name, webspace, a wordpress blog, etc. You may need a website builder that is easy to use, if you want to have many websites. The first thing to do is to save part of your earning and prepare yourself to take care of your future needs.
8. Plan Your Steps: I suggest you start a blogger blog on a product you want to sell later. You should always think of your end result, the result you desire for yourself and plan backwards to get to where you are now. At present you do not have money, you do not know how to earn online and you do not have a business. But think of what kind of business you would like to have online. Suppose I give you a magic wand and you can have anything you want – what kind of a business will you dream for yourself. Visualize that clearly. What do you want to see yourself doing in about 10 years from now? Now plan backwards – what are the steps needed to get you there.. Continue planning till you reach where you are now.
9. Implement Plans Immediately: Start implementing your plans. There are many who can make great plans but they never reach anywhere. That is because they do not take action. Right after reading this article what is one thing you can do to start yourself on your pursuit? Whether you want to make money online or achieve something else there are 100s of tips available online. But the questions remain the same.
Start right away. Set your goal. Visualize what you want to see yourself doing in 10 years time from now. Plan backwards and take the first step right now!

'Pay Per Play' Ads Best Time to Get Advertisers Sign UP – Publishers Sign Up Before Friday
Pay Per Play Ads have started playing and the earnings have started.
These are audio ads that play on your site for 5 seconds. You monetize 100% of your visitors.
This is the best time for advertisers to sign up for Pay Per Play Ads because everybody is eager to listen to the ads.
They are anxiously waiting for the ads to play. There was even an instruction asking people not to rush to sites which are playing these ads and crash their server.
It would be best to profit from this now than later. Before the initial enthusiasm weans off and we all become, as someone nicely put it “video blind and audio deaf”, advertisers should strike…
After Friday Pay Per Play Ads will stop accepting new publishers, that is, website / blog owners. This is to maximize the delivery of ads for existing publishers. So if any of you blog owners want to join it, this is the right time.
Join Pay Per Play Ads today and advertise your products and services to eager listeners than go in for sites such as “get paid to view ads” that abuse the people who work for them. If you don’t know what I am talking about read the previous post.
