The Easiest Way to Make Money Online
This is a post by contributing author Bamboo Forest.
I’ve been blogging for a couple years now and except for a few affiliate sales from ads, consulting is the only way I’ve made any money from blogging.
Ways to make money that might make you cry
If you told me that to make money I’d have to build websites, acquire thousands of emails for my list, have a hundred thousand monthly unique visitors for Google ads, or write an amazing eBook that must compete with the zillions of other eBooks already...

Writing Content Rich Articles with Powerful Anchor Text
Every business has a customer base. And the job of writing web content for this customer base is often a daunting task, particularly if the business is a specialty or niche business. Who are the customers and what are they looking for? What do they want to spend? How do they want to acquire the product or service? Do they want to buy online or simply just do research? These are just a few of the questions web marketers need to ask before diving...

How Does Personal Branding Fit in With Your Business?
TweetHave you taken the time to sit down and decide what your business really is? Most people never really think about it on the level that I want to share with you today. Ask any business person, whether online or offline, and most will tell you their business is delivering information, or a product or a service. These are things you do in your business but your real business is you. You are your business. If people don’t like you or feel compelled...

The Times They Are A Changin’…Again
TweetPeople who do business on the Internet or actually run a company in cyberspace soon get used to the idea that what’s the norm one week will crumble and blow away like dust the next. There are no other traditional values on the web except for maybe the fact that the only way to get really good leverage with any search engine optimization techniques or other kinds of advertising you use is with good content.
For those of you who think I’m just...

Corporate Blogging Insights From C-Suite
Corporate blogs (and blogging in general) get run through the ringer of “Is it a dead art?” to “It’s essential for online success!” and all stops in between. Many fear blogging due to concerns about time, risk / reward, exposure and the list goes on.
eMarketer brings us a corporate some insights from a survey done by Blog2Print (an interesting idea, btw). Here are the reasons why big companies blog according to CMO’s.
The most prominent reason...
Big Good Tips From A Little Book And Other Stuff
TweetThere’s lots of advice for writers out there today—books on how to write and what to write about, where to submit your work and how to get your literary foot in the front door when you want to be published. Some of the advice you can get is helpful and some is just thinly disguised advertising designed to get you to buy something someone has to sell.
It all comes around full circle in the end to a little book that I got way back in the day...

Watching Out For Shoddy Business Practices
Anyone that works on the Internet will be able to tell you that while there are virtually limitless business possibilities available for writers and bloggers, there are also a lot of people who do shoddy business on the web and are out to take your work away or pay you nothing for it.
Last year I noticed there were more than a few of these snake oil salesmen out there and even though I’ve learned over the years a few things to avoid, sometimes...

How I Use My Blog as a Fulcrum and You Can Too
Every now and then the “a blog is not a business” meme will come around again. Each time someone will challenge me about it.
Look, I agree. A blog is no more a business than a book is a business if you want to be strict about it. But why does it matter?
Rather than worry about definitions, let’s understand what is really important.
Can a blog make enough money to provide an income? Yes. Blogging is the source of my income.
Is blogging a route...

How to Create a Memorable Business Card
After you leave a conference or meet with anyone that might lead to future business, your business card is the gateway for future contact and how you will be remembered. It’s important to have an exciting, professional and creative business card. The majority of business cards that are collected after a conference are thrown into a box and never looked at again. However, if you make a killer business card, you and your business are that much more...

Why Your Blog Doesn’t Make Money
Darren Rowse doesn’t make his money from Problogger.
Brian Clark doesn’t make his money from Copyblogger.
Chris Brogan doesn’t make his money from his blog, either.
Neither does Sonia Simone.
Not a single founding member of Third Tribe earns the bulk of their income from the blogs that are practically (or in Chris’ case, literally) synonymous with their names.
Yes, they make some money directly from those blogs. But revenue directly from the...

DPD – Digital Product Delivery
Back in January, we started on the Facebook Ads Guide project.
When we were done with writing all the content for the guide, we decided it would be easiest if we used ClickBank. That turned out to be a good solution as I feel we got many more affiliates than we would have if we were not on clickbank. Over 770+ affiliates are signed up to promote FBAdsGuide.
The main problem with Clickbank was figuring out a solution for the "Thank you" page. We...
