i'm starting a new "make money" blog. Like every money making blog it will be a guide into making good cash online. I'm a writer myself (but in plain english since i'm spanish). I'm also thinking about hiring somebody to make the blog have a nice design (wordpress isn't hard to tune it right), i think that will help my visitors to take the site "serious". another thing is to make everything really visual (this helps me to not writing too much but it's also helpful) so people can understand things better, get involved faster, etc. i'm not thinking about making money asap so i can wait (i have a job, other websites to work on) so it's not necessary to search for a way of monetize the blog, for now i just want happy visitors. Actually, i will try to talk about my personals experiences while working with internet. do you think this is a good idea? i'm not into forex or any stockmarket network, and, for now, i'm willing to write about things that anyone can use (not everybody can handle stockmarkets). I mean affiliates like cj, tradedoubler, etc. I'm also wanting to write about PPC, CPM, CPA, etc. This is really hot stuff to write about. well... those are for now my ideas, please share yours!
I can share a source that highlights basic things that you have to do to get a successful blog. I hope you would like to add this ideas as well. http://www.myeasyonlinepay.com.
thanks for replying, i visited the site and it's a great source of info. But i'm not planning to write some ebooks and earn money from that, or a "premium users" section (where users are allowed to get specific info). Resources are a great idea to get visitors. I liked that section of the site, it really helps, so thanks again. are you making $$$ with that site?
If you are Spanish, why aren't you doing this in two languages? Won't there be less other sites to compete with if you have a Spainsh version too?
yeah, that's not a problem but i really want English Speaking Traffic coming to the website. That pays more i think...
i think if you been successfull in some kind of IM business like affiliate or PPC, you can share it on your blog, or you can post your own referral link to get PTC downline, klikot or something...
It could well be best to have both languages on the site - that way you get both sets & you can see which really does bring the most money. I'm sure it's pretty each to set it all up in wordpress (although I've not tried before).
thanks for the replies. another good point to discuss is the design. should i make it really simple? which sections should get more attention? what about writing and ebook and show x amount of articles to the users and help them to succeed?
Get the links from amazon since it has integrated with blogger.com a free service from google. Make the best use of both of them.
Write in English because you think it pays more, but also make a 'shadow' blog in Spanish. You may have tough sledding getting anyone to find your English blog due to the incredible competition, so your Spanish version may ultimately be more profitable.
