An Honest Review of Blogging To The Bank 2010

by philgy

By now I think most people in the world know about blogs.

What a lot don’t know, is that a great income can be made from it.

Rob Benwell is only a mere 24 years old and has already made several million dollars doing just that. It was back in early 2006 he shared his secrets for the first time with the world in his highly successful ‘blogging To The Bank’ ebook. As a result, many who purchased that first publication found making money online a whole lot easier.

A little over two years after the success of his first book and with over 20,000 copies sold, if you include the 2007 2.0 update. He is now releasing his third version of ‘Blogging to the Bank’.

I got this book as soon as I could (yes I paid for it) and it does cover quite a lot of new information and techniques to adapt your blog to the new demands of the major search engines. As with most things online, many of the techniques in the old book are now dated and don’t work so well. This is why ‘Blogging To The Bank 2010‘ in my opinion, is a worthwhile purchase.

Also, this guy doesn’t consider himself to be a “guru”, he’s just a normal guy who wants to help the little guys out. I find this refreshing, as he doesn’t talk “down” to you like, so many of the other guys do. He explains everything in an uncomplicated, simple manner making it applicable even for the newbies among us (don’t like the term but you know what I mean).

Saying that, when he “goes off on one” it may take a few reads until you get it, but when you do, it’s just shear genius. Some of the topics in my opinion could have been covered a little more, whereas others went into greater detail.

You also get his ‘5 Blogging Commandments For 2010′ that you should follow to give your blogs the greatest chance of success in 2010 and keep them future proofed. I recommend you print them out and put on your wall.

Final Verdict: If you are operating in the blogging world and want to make money, then ‘Blogging To The Bank 2010‘, clearly shows you step by step the process and tecniques you should be using to achieve your results, highly recommended. Yes I am an affiliate, but as I have already mentioned, I purchased the book for myself immediately.

Get Paid to Write Blog Content

by philgy

How does paid blogging work and how can you get paid by Fortune 500 companies and even small businesses to write about their product, service or event?

When the blogosphere exploded in 2006/07, thousands of blogs were being created every single day, with overworked individuals hoping to cash in on the trend and be a “work-at-home blogger”. The hype was high, but the problem was that most bloggers wanted to get paid immediately.

The blogosphere responded to these needs, with companies like PayPerPost.com leading the paid-to-blog industry. Early on, blogging for the purposes of making money received a lot of criticism from big-name bloggers, but eventually people started accepting paid blogging as a viable, honest way to make a living online.

As time went by, more paid blogging companies sprung up, including ReviewMe.com and SponsoredReviews.com – taking the stand of offering “honest” and “unbiased” reviews. At the moment there are no fewer than 20 paid blogging companies you can sign-up with and make money from.

When you sign-up for a company, you’re required to submit your blog details, so make sure you have a blog up and running with at least 30 days worth of acceptable content. After you’ve submitted your details, your blog will be reviewed and approved.

Then, you can search the company’s marketplace for “opportunities”, which are basically listings created by businesses who want you to blog about their product or service. When you find a suitable opportunity, you can use the information provided (take note of the requirements too) and blog about it. When you’re done, report back to the listing and you get paid whatever amount of money the advertiser has promised.

Now of course, the companies that offer these paid blogging services also take their cut, which is anywhere from 30-50%. The rest is paid to you after you reach a certain payout limit.

So how much can you expect to make from paid blogging?

Typically, you can earn a few hundred dollars a month by writing 1-2 blog posts a day. Since these blog posts aren’t too long and all the information is already provided, it’s pretty easy to do that. Once your blog picks up more traffic, it gets re-evaluated and you can start charging more for writing the exact same content.

The leaders in the paid blogging industry make a few thousands dollars a month, enough to make a comfortable full-time income on the Internet. Plus, they are free to work whenever they want, wherever they want. This is why paid blogging is so appealing – with little skill or technical knowledge, any ordinary person can make money from blogs right from the start.

If you’re interested to discover the secrets to paid blogging, I strongly recommend you check out Blog Paycheck by Gobala Krishnan:

Among other things, he gives you a complete step-by-step guide to paid blogging, and a list of useful resources you can use to kickstart your blogging and make more money with less time and effort.

Paid Blogging Can Replace Your Job

by philgy

Did you know that you can make a pretty good living online with blogging? Not only that, did you know that you can do it risk-free?

No capital required (ok maybe just a few dollars) and it doesn’t take much writing skills either.

And NO, it’s not about Google Adsense or affiliate marketing.

It’s called “Paid Blogging” or “Sponsored Blogging”, and one of the earliest companies to offer this opportunity is PayPerPost.com

Today, there are tons of opportunities to make a living with paid blogging, and you can earn anywhere between $5 to $200 for a single blog post!

That sure beats being a slave to your own online business, blogging away relentlessly day after day just for a few bucks from Adsense.

Anyways, this is what I wanted to share with you…

Gobala Krishnan has all the secrets packed into a 58-page report called “Blog Paycheck”. I’ve just had a look at it and it certainly seems to cover all the bases.

The entire “Paid Blogging” industry is totally new to me, but this report pretty much revealed everything I needed to know.

You can get more information here.

Considering it’s such a HOT topic today, I’m pretty surprised that no one has yet come up with a complete guide to “Paid Blogging”
