Make Money, Make Money Today, and Make Money tomorrow Part 2
There is enormous commercial potential in your blog if you just apply the correct leverage. As I explained in my previous post there are many ways to make money using your blog which will both benefit you (this is the make money part) and your customers who will gain valuable information.
Let’s look at some more ways to make money
- Make money with Video Ads – You can embed a short video ad into your post. These can play automatically or manually. My advice here would be to make them manual. Automatic ones can be extremely annoying. You can see several examples in other post in my blog.
- Make money with Payments for Posts – You can write posts that specifically mention or review products and or services for a fee. My advice here is that you should be totally upfront and declare that you have a commercial interest, not to do so would be unethical and if you are found out then your relationship with your readers will suffer. You can find out more at PayPerPost.com
- Make money by creating a Directory – You can simply create a directory and charge for being listed. My advice here would be to create the listing free of charge and then charge for additional services, like enhanced listings etc.
- Make money by selling adverts – You can charge for customers putting their own articles promoting a product on your blog. Once again you should make sure that they are clearly marked as an advert.
- Make money with adverts in videos – – Create a video for youtube. Not only can this be used to Market your own product but you could also charge for including a short ad at the beginning or the end of the video.
- Make money by selling classified ads – Charge a user for placing a classified ad on your blog for a set period of time.
- Make Money with Dropship Sales – Sell products from your blog that are stocked and shipped by the manufacturer. There are numerous manufacturers that do this. Here is one that you can check out www.theselect.co.uk
- Make money with Premium Content – If you have a good following and you are knowledgeable in your area then you could offer extended or premium content for a fee. This could be a one off payment or a monthly membership.
- Make money with an Online Course – Make a subscription service to an online or email course. Each part could be available or delivered weekly or monthly.
Ok so there you have some more ideas of how to make money.
Now comes the surprising conclusion to these posts.
DON’T DO THEM!
So why did I tell you about them? They are all sound, you could make money out of all of them, so why am I telling you not to?
The answer is in fact a very simple one – I want you to succeed and if you try all of the suggestions that I have given you over the past couple of posts then I guarantee you will fail.
There are two main reasons why people fail to make money on the internet and they are
• Failure to take action
• Information overload.
Failure to take action speaks for itself really. You get information or a product intending to use it but never quite get around to finishing or implementing it. You don’t set yourself a goal or targets and consequently you fail.
Information overload (and this is a killer) happens all of the time. You get bombarded with offers over and over again all promising you that this is the one that will make money for you. Forget the rest this will make you millions within the month.
Of course it’s all hype, some will make money and some won’t make money. The fatal thing here is that you simply spread yourself too thinly and end up never completing anything.
There is a trend at the moment that when a product is being sold you get a mountain of extra bonuses. You think it looks great. Fantastic value for money, just look at all of those bonuses I’m going to get.
The simple truth is that you are being done a disservice. You are being overloaded with information yet again. How much time will it take you to wade through all of the products/eBooks you have just bought? The answer is ages, and by the time you have just started then something else comes along that promises you the earth which looks plausible so you must have it, and the cycle goes on. You never actually complete anything and therefore you do not make money.
If you listen to nothing else I say then please take this onboard. Don’t get sucked into information overload. If you do then you won’t get anywhere.
Stick to basic principles. Don’t try to run to fast. Choose an achievable goal k to it until it is finished.
Then and only then should you move on to the next thing.
It is essential that you have multiple revenue streams but build them slowly overtime. You simply cannot put everything in place by the end of the week.
There is no doubt that you can make money, just concentrate, do one thing at a time, and finish what you start.
I was going to bring you a special offer today but I am still nailing down the details to get you the best possible deal.
Check back in later this week.

Again brilliant, Ken. I totally agree with the information overload principle. I have a mountain of bonus ebooks I have never even looked at, I didn’t ask for them, I wanted the lead product. Good point.
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy,
Nice to see you drop by again. Glad you liked the post. It does concern me that people are trying to make some money on the internet and they just get bombarded with information and then just either don’t know what direction to go in or get totally confused. It just reinforces the point that attaching yourself to a mentor is the best way forward. Apart from what you learn it also gives you a target to work towards which helps keep the information overload a bay.
