Well, I can’t believe the salespage is written by a 13-year-old kid! Just look here. Would you believe that this kid is earning thousands?! What is true is the fact that David Wilkinson was indeed interviewed by BBC….so there’s something really good about him

I’ve bought his ebook and will read through it…but I’m pretty sure that he’s got a GOOD TEAM around him to help with his salesletter and also promotion!

There is a lot of buzz these days around blogging for money. In truth, it is more difficult to make money this way than some may lead you to believe. However, if approached properly, blogging can become a very profitable exercise. Let’s discuss some easy, practical steps you can take towards creating an online blogging presence that will make money for you.

First and foremost, a personal little blog is not going to do it. Some people believe they can blog about their daily lives and make money. I hate to break your bubble, but your life isn’t that interesting. Don’t take offense – nobody’s life is that interesting! If you want to pull traffic, you are going to need to offer a topic or topics that interest people, and in many cases answer questions that people have. For instance, an Internet Marketing blog might have all general IM posts, or may be divided into sections for PPC posts, article marketing posts, affiliate marketing posts, and product creation posts. Such a blog offers a subject many people are interested in, many subdivisions of that subject that people want more information about, and the posts can give great tips, advice, or share experience that can help others.

After beginning a blog focused around your niche, sprinkle a little Adsense around it. Try to keep your Adsense in places that receive the most focus – the top of your blog (specifically top left if you can), between paragraphs in the text, or at the bottom right after the text ends, for people who are looking for more information after reading your post. These locations seem to do well. However, making money with an Adsense-only blog can be very difficult. There is one more thing you should do to make your blog more profitable.

Once you have established yourself a little and built some rapport with your readers, you want to begin sprinkling affiliate products into your posts. Don’t overdo this or you will run your readership away! However, in a post describing a particular problem, you may post a link to a product that solves that problem. That link would be your affiliate link, and any sales resulting from your blog post’s link would pay commissions to you. You might even want to place one or two graphical or text affiliate links to useful, relative products in the sidebar or sidebars of your blog. Be sure you don’t make it difficult to search your blog for all the ads and affiliate links! You want your users to feel that you are blogging for them first and foremost, and your affiliate links are merely helpful suggestions you are making.

By establishing yourself in a niche, offering useful information to your readers, and sprinkling your blog with tastefully-positioned ads and affiliate links, you will begin to see an income coming through your blog. Congratulations, you have succeeded! Now continue to tweak and test what works well and what doesn’t so that you can continue to make your blog more and more profitable for yourself, while becoming more and more appealing to your target audience.

Good luck and happy blogging!

It’s a hard thing to do. We’ve just lost our job, or just plain got fed up with it. We’ve decided that we’re going to make a living on the Internet. We have no idea what we want to do but we do know that we need to start making money and fast. We have it all figured out. We’re going to do a search for something that promises us we’re going to make X number of dollars in our first 30 days. We find an amount we can live with at one of those really cool sites and we sign up.

30 days later we’re still broke and we wonder why.

It’s not totally your fault. These companies pray on people like us. They know we don’t want to go to that lousy job anymore. They know we want instant riches. So they promise us the moon, hoping and knowing that we’re going to pay them the 20 bucks a month to make some obscene amount of money. But it never happens. We’re disillusioned, frustrated and clueless as to where to turn. We don’t know who to trust and we’re at our wits end.

As I said, it’s not totally your fault. But you are going to have to shoulder some of the blame. Nobody can pay $20 a month for a business and expect to make any kind of real money. If you were going to open up a candy store on the corner you’d have thousands of dollars in expenses in both rent and inventory. Why should online be any different? It’s not. No, you don’t have to spend nearly as much money as you do in the “real” world, but some investment is going to be required. It is a fact of life that we need to learn to accept. Otherwise, you’re just headed for more heartache.

So what’s the answer? The answer is to have a realistic outlook on what is possible. Aside from that, you need to get an education. Hopefully, this site will help provide you with some of that education. But it can’t do it all. Why? Because there are too many variables in making a living online. Everyone has different skills and interests. One person may be very technically adept while another can’t find the on switch of his computer. These people are not going to go in the same direction.

The most important thing is to sit down and make a game plan. Figure out how much you can afford to spend and what you can reasonably expect to get back from that investment. Figure out where your strengths are. What do you like? What do you hate? There has to be something that you are naturally good at or have an interest in that will give you a head start.

No, you can’t get rich quick on the Internet. But with a little planning and determination, you can eventually reach a monthly income that will sustain you in the life you are accustomed to.
