I have a blog and $35. What should I do now?

I have my first blog. a n o n r e covery. c o m and $35 I made writing articles. My blog gets about 5-10 uniques per day. What should I do with the $35 to make more money. Buying adwords would not amount to much more traffic and the only income I can really make is from adsense on my site. I have a few articles submitted to ezinearticles but they havent posted yet.

Please give direction so I dont blow my $35 and so I can grow that money to be able to have more money to promote my site.

Thanks

 

Why not sign up with Kontera or adbrite, do the contextual thing? That could increase your income....
post the site on forums, in your sig. refrence it....

 

I wouldn't use adwords because you won't profit a lot off it (you're not selling products).

I would invest your $$ on unique content, this will naturally drive traffic towards your blog. Content is king.

 

I am posting unique content daily. When will the traffic start coming in? How do I go from 10 visits per day to 1000 visits per day?

 

^ Exactly, buy more content with that $35 and link build

 

Do you market your articles once they have been posted? Such as using digg for additional traffic?

 

How do I market my articles? This is the first I have heard of that.

 

DOwnload plugins then use them for social bookmarking. Stumble it, digg it etc. Look my blog you see under each post stumblee, digg.. THaths how you need to do, you have a lot ofplugins that will do that- google

 

Work hard do seo try to promote it make another site

Without work skills , money or all you can't succed

 

Hire a writer to make great articles for use or use the money to purcahse some links on high traffic sites.

 

what if I sell a "how to" ebook. Could I market that with any results?

 

There are plenty of ebooks floating around . It depends on how well you've written it. Choose a niche which has a market.

 

Write some quality content for your blog yourself. Go fill your tank with gas with the $35..

 

OK I am writing the quality content that is on the blog. I wrote the ten current articles that are on my blog and have a couple more I am editing right now.
I cany figure out what to do next. I have this good content that a lot of people are interested in, but what good is it if no one sees it.
I am trying to figure out how to get people to see it and maybe click on a link here and there. Each article is keyword rich for what I wrote it for, but not overdone so the ads are very targeted. Is this what you guys call SEO? Along with my meta tags and stuff. If so, I think I might be pretty good at this.

 

Buy some traffic from DP?

 

I would use that money to invest in some link building

 

Don't spend the $35 for anything other than your hosting. Maybe you can spend a little on ebooks that educates you on blogging. To get more traffic, use the Social sites to the best.

 

write keyword rich articles, and use long tail keywords in your title, this will increase your traffic slowly!
get some blog reviews by some PR3+ blogs, in $35 you can get 3-4 such reviews! cheers!

 

Don't wanna sound like a broken record here... But content is King, Traffic is Supreme. Honestly i wouldent pay for more content if you already have several unique articles avaliable to you, Invest that $35 in link building, and submit your site to a lot of directories. Several people might doubt the power of directory submissions but in my experience it helps.. Not as much as a Reciprocal link on a related blog but indeed it does help. If ya need any more advice / tips / ect.. feel free to shoot me a PM.

Screw it man, blow the $35 on beer and hookers.

Nah I'm joking. Utilise free advertising methods before spending the little money you have. I recommend signing up with www.entrecard.com and start getting some free traffic.
