Building my Blogging Empire, and How you Can Build Yours!



I'm Justin and am starting to make money online with my growing blogging empire, started with one blog -- The No BS Zone: How to Make Money Online and Avoid Scams - in 2009 and now have many including my youtube channel - Youtube Channel - "No BS Zone: Common Sense Advice for Life". I had built it up and forgot about it, and then I started to notice my adsense income starting to increase a little bit each year. It wasn't much, it was about one dollar per month, then 2, then 5, 10, 20, and eventually it was starting to increase dramatically.

I realized, there's something to this and I started blogging more and creating more content. Then in the fall of 2011 from a blog to a youtube video, I posted more content on No BS Zone and it just started to explode. I also created other blogs and through trial and error I found out what worked and what didn't. Now I'm up to over $100 per month and it's increasing from there.

I just want you to know if you want to make money blogging, don't just worry about creating that one amazing post or blog that becomes popular, focus on creating content you're passionate about. Even if it's average content, if you're passionate about it, multiply it.

Also, you want to make sure people are clicking on your adsense and LinkShare.com or Commission Junction affiliate ads. No matter how good your content is if they don't click on it you won't make money. The key is creating content that is interesting, but not so interesting that no one pays any attention to your ads.

I'm up to about $100 per month from my blogs and my and expect to double that again in a month or so, and I'll keep you updated on my progress!

Link

Are you sick and tired of the lack of opportunity in this world? Don't just put up with it... DO SOMETHING BETTER -- The internet is the single most powerful, influential medium that we've ever had. Create a video like this one, create a blog, get yourself out there, get your ideas out there, and you could be making money online with your ideas and content.

Don't just put up with what someone is willing to pay you per hour when you can determine your own income, worth, and prosperity by continually making money from the content you create on the internet. There has never been a better time. There has never been a better opportunity than now. The explosion of the internet and it proliferating all around the world, with all the cell phones and other media devices for people to access your content, the time is now. Take advantage. Good luck!

Hottest Recession Proof College Degree


Link

Have you heard of the new hottest college degree that all the employers want? There's a reason why you haven't. There's no such thing. The new degree is a CS Degree, Common Sense. Guess what, not everybody has it.

The problem is, while college degrees prepare you for being prepared, they don't prepare you for life and everything life has to throw at you, and all the skills you need to be successful and to get a good job and not just to get a good job. To be able to create something in this world, to start your own business, to be an entrepreneur, to be whatever you want to be.

You don't need a piece of paper to tell you how successful you are going to be in this world. There have been so many people that have taken that idea and thrown it out the window. Don't let a college degree define you, and don't count on it, put your eggs in one basket, and expect it to deliver for you. Think outside the box!

Top 5 Proven Online Money Making Methods to Get Cash Fast

Everyone wants to make money online but too many good people fall into endless pitfalls of mlm, ebook, and other "buy in to participate" scams that are a waste of all of our time and patience. Don't worry because you won't find any of those here on the No BS Zone. Here are some proven methods I've found to legitimately make money online fast and start putting extra cash in your pocket today:

1. Amazon Mechanical Turk (Mturk) - a great service provided by amazon that allows you to sign up for free and complete simple tasks. It couldn't get any easier, they work ranges from classifying search engine results, to writing short 100-300 word articles to transcribing audio files and more. The majority of tasks range from $0.01 to $2.00 each to complete. It's piece work and the most you're able to hope for is a couple dollars per hour, but once you get a hang of it and complete a number of tasks you'll get access to the higher paying ones. I've made as much as $10.00 per hour but it's not common and you'll definitely get wrist cramps typing that fast!

2. Ebay - one of the most proven and trusted methods of selling your stuff online. There are still up and coming ebay sellers that become good at buying low and selling high and this can and does turn into a lucrative home business for many. However, this has been challenging lately in the down economy where goods are just not demanding as much money as they used to and there is more competition.

3. Blogger - arguably the best blogging service. Easy to create blogs, easy to post, easy to publish, easy to add adsense ads and affiliate ads via LinkShare.com or Commission Junction to your posts, easy to set up feedburner for more monetization. All in all a great blogging service that has limitations but still delivers advertising dollars to bloggers everywhere. If your blog becomes popular enough purchase a domain to get even more views and make more money online from your blog!

4. iStockPhoto - a great service that allows you to be a contributor and get paid commission for the photos and videos you upload. The way it works is that people need stock images for websites, products, marketing, ads, you name it! You provide that content and iStockPhoto pays generously 15% commission and more for top contributors. I'm just starting this myself and I'll let you know how it goes.

5. Freelance Article Writing - With the large number of news, niche, blogs, and how-to websites out there, the demand for good freelance authors of articles has never been better and is always increasing! You may not make much money at first, you can start by doing this on websites like Amazon Mechanical Turk (Mturk) and eHow. Once you get the hang of it and feel ready you can start a blog and submit your best articles to magazines and other publications. You may get lucky and get asked to do a guest post on another website or blog in your area of expertise. This can be a great way to make extra income and possibly hit the big time. A perfect example of how someone was incredibly successful at this is the creator of the Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington. Her story is certainly not the norm but anything is possible right?

How to Make Money Online: Create Your Personal Brand

Whether you are a freelancer, blogger, webmaster, web merchant, mechanical turker, or some other aspiring web worker, you must demonstrate your value to the internet and the people who use it. It's all about eyeballs and getting users to view your content or use your products or services. To accomplish this, you must create your niche, or in other words, your own personal brand that is unique to you and offers something to users that others don't. Doing this is a complex undertaking.

Setting yourself apart is crucial for creating a unique and desirable brand. Doing this involves much more than just creating your logo or a flashy website. It's about carving out your niche and making it obvious why your approach is different and more beneficial than the next guy, or gal. It's important to remember that you cannot just build it and they will come. You must build something better for people to leave what they are currently using to use your website.

On that note, if what you're doing online doesn't create net benefits to your target user, they simply won't come back and will not use your service and you won't be very successful. I know what I'm saying here is a bit vague so let me get more specific.

To start building your personal brand you want to research your direct competition extensively. First, determine how much competition there is. Is your niche already too saturated? Are there opportunities to offer something different, or better than your competion? Determine what needs similar content or sites are serving. Are they doing it well? Are they under serving the community and if so, how? Find the under served areas of your niche and serve them!

If you're a freelancer this means offering services not offered by your competition or better customer service. If you're a blogger this means exploiting the weak areas of information in your chosen topic and creating a brand. For instance, if you're writing about cats, how is your topic different and honestly ask yourself or an impartial third party if you or they would visit your website and more importantly, come back again and again? If you say no, stop. Rethink, reorganize, redo what you were doing. This retooling of your approach to find what draws visitors back is necessary because repeat users are the key to a successful web business. If you need an example of a company that does this well look no further than Facebook.

Above all, be honest with yourself, don't let your pride get in the way! Believe me, I've done this far too many times and it never works out. If what you're doing isn't working, change, because the key to creating your personal brand is having the humility to admit when you're wrong and change when you need to.

Best of luck to all of you and here's hoping your future online income is great and your difficulties are small.

Thanks for reading!

How to Become a Blog Master in 5 Easy Steps

If you're a blogger you probably want to get more readers. Who doesn't want to be an blog master right? It is a dream of many bloggers to sit on their couch and make thousands of dollars every month doing what they love but how does one get there? How do they go from being a blog hobbyist to a blog master?

1. Start small. You must learn the trade before you can earn as a master. It's no different then picking up a hammer and learning how to nail boards together. You must learn what works and what doesn't your own way often through trial and error. Start following successful bloggers and read back when they were just starting on their very first posts. What worked for them? What ideas did they abandon. What did they refine? How did their content evolve? How are they making money blogging? Study the fine intricacies of blog masters and see why they made the decisions they did.

2. Don't copy. You can learn about what they do but absolutely do not copy it. This goes for the content on other blogs but also the techniques. The niche of information and the technique they deliver it that they carved out did not come easy. If you copy the design of their blog, the content, or the search terms you will always fail. The search engines do not like duplicate content and if you copy you will be seen only as that. You simply cannot become an income generating blog master unless you're truly original.

3. Be Passionate. Blogging about topics your passionate about is very important. If you don't you'll lose interest and run out of things to talk about. The balance between what you know a great deal about and what you like to write about is the key. It also must be presented in a different way than anything else out there. If you aren't original in your delivery your content, however good it may be, will get lost in the search engines never to be found again.

4. Take risks! Challenge yourself and push your mind further than you ever thought it could go. It's when you reach mental no man's land that you discover some of the most brilliant blog topics to write about that will be an absolute hit with your readers. Daring blog masters that take great risks usually make a lot of money and experience great rewards. Even if they don't they usually learn a great deal for next time.

5. Be genuine. The difference between a TV news program, a newspaper, a magazine, and a great blog is that all of these mediums are impersonal, except that is for the blog. The modern blog is a very dynamic personal piece of literature. The writer tailors the information in such a way to draw the reader in and connect with them on a personal level. When the blog master does this they create trust. Trust is the missing ingredient that separates the amateur from the professional blog master that makes money doing what they love!

Make Money Blogging - I Do!

Something I haven't mentioned yet, making money blogging is a real and viable way to make some serious extra money. You're not alone though. There is about 50 million blogs currently in existence and about 2 blogs get created each second of every day. So if you're going to try and make any money doing it your content must be unique and RELEVANT.

Don't get me wrong, you can't write about something so obscure that no one cares about it. To get readers and ultimately clicks on your ads you need to get very creative. Think about the things you know a lot about, or are very passionate about, and think of a unique angle on it, or in other words, a blog "niche."

Blog niches are important because if you create a blog about sports cars for instance and your key words are "sport cars," "fast," and "engines" you'll be competing with everyone else with those keywords about a very broad topic. Not a good chance of getting noticed.

Blogging is very dynamic. Like I said it's difficult to get found in the proverbial haystack of the internet. Therefore, you have to diversify your efforts. Creating unique content, appropriate key words, and submitting to search engines is only half the battle. The other challenge is getting search engines to notice your content. To do that you must show them that other people are linking to it, commenting on it, liking it, recommending it, and so on to show your site has value. You do this by creating articles on Ezine.com, posting on valuable high PR Do Follow social network sites like Digg, Technorati, and Slashdot. A useful tool for posting to many of these sites is Socialmarker.com. Another good thing to do is tweet about your blogs and posts on twitter, post videos on youtube, and think of anything else creative you can to promote your blogs.

To monetize your blogs, you could start your own website, that way you can put any ads you like on there. If you have a great idea right off the bat this may be a good idea, but more realistically you want to experiment on a free blogging service to see what works and to post adsense ads on your site right away. I recommend Blogger.com but use one that you prefer.

Work from Home with Amazon Mturk - I made $2,768 in 4 months!

That's right, you can make as much as $14.40 per hour currently on Mturk! (Amazon Mechanical Turk). If you've never heard of mturk, it's a service provided by Amazon for requesters (people paying money to you) to ask for a variety of simple tasks called HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks). These tasks can range from writing a short 60 word paragraph about a product for $0.50 per hit or classifying advertisements for $0.04 per hit.

This doesn't seem like much money but the key is finding HITs that you can have a fast completing rate and approval rate and make over $5 per hour to make real money. You can find an example of these high paying HITs and how to complete them here:
Amazon Mechanical Turk (mturk) Community Blog
Murk Video Training Course Blog
The payout given is determined by the requester, which many times is very low and some HITs unlike the ones I've mentioned can be a waste of your time quite frankly.

However, there are many that are not a waste of time. I've made over $3,000 in my spare time on mturk (Amazon Mechanical Turk) over the last 2 years. It's not much but it's money I wouldn't have otherwise.

How I made $300 in my spare time on the free section of Craigslist

How I turned Free Carpet on Craigslist into over $300 Profit Making Cat Trees


There are a lot of scrappers that patrol the Free section of Craigslist and look for anything free like a old TV to scrap construction materials. It actually takes a lot of work and luck to score great things here, but if you do it right, you could actually make money.

About 3 months ago I spotted a listing in the Craigslist free section for 500 sq feet of brand new carpeting and a load of free sub-floor and lumber. I responded right away and said I was interested if it was still available. The older gentlemen giving it away had several other replies but I was lucky enough to be the first and he held it for me.

I picked it up from his house, he lived in an upscale neighborhood and he was putting in wood floors so he had no use for the practically brand new carpeting and extra sub-floor particle board. It was a lot of work to load and transport but only cost me the gas to get there and back.

My wife and I have 3 cats, and I had the idea to make Cat Trees with these materials. I had made one for my cats and they seemed to like the design. So I made one with the carpet and the wood I got on Craigslist. All I needed was some staples, screws, nails, rope, and carpet glue, and I made my first one in no time.

In a couple weeks I listed my first one in the Pets section of the Minneapolis Craigslist for $65. I figured it was a fair price with the time and work I put in. I got several replies and eventually found a buyer 2 days later. They were a young couple came to pick it up from my garage and paid me in cash.

That felt pretty good. After my overhead I netted $50 profit. After making a few more I became better and they looked more professional. By this time I found the better they looked and the better pictures I posted of them the more I could charge. The next one sold for $75.

6 Cat Trees and 3 months later and I've made a profit of about $300 in my spare time. It's not a lot of extra money but it goes to show you that you can make money scrapping on Craigslist if you're handy and you have an idea of what you want to make and get the materials on the cheap!
