June 5th, 2007 — about flood of dollars, affiliate program, blog promotion
As I promised on my blog goals for June post, here are what readers can expect to be regularly posted on Flood of Dollars:
Make Money Online Blog of the Week (MMOBW)
This is where one fairly new blog (started not later than January 2007) which in some way or another help in informing people how to make money online are given the Flood of Dollars spotlight.
This featured blog will have a backlink at the end of all the blog posts that Flood of Dollars will publish that whole week. This is similiar to getting free text link promotion for your blog. So if you have a blog or any blog that you know that meets the following requirements, you can either email floodofdollars (at) gmail (dot) com or leave a comment here so I can check if it’s a good candidate for this weekly feature.
- A blog started not later than January 2007
- Has posts mostly about ways to make money online
Just those two criteria.
Affiliate Program Tip of the Week
I don’t know until when I can consume all the tips out there that are available for affiliate program newbies like me. But it’s great to learn a thing or two weekly to improve your chances of earning from this one promising way of making money online, right? If I get to find people to interview about tips, you will definitely find them posted here on FOD.
I think this will be one great feature because I’m planning to make a small project out of it.
Feel free to send me some tips about the two feature projects if you have any thoughts.
June 3rd, 2007 — about flood of dollars, blog monetization, blog promotion
Do you blog just whenever you feel like blogging? That’s fine if you are blogging for the sole purpose of venting out or expressing thoughts. Or simply put, that’s fine if you intend to keep your personal blog just that - a personal blog.
But what if you want to augment your income with the help of your blog? Definitely, blogging just “every now and then” won’t work. You have to have a plan on how to make your blogging for money endeavor take off.
In view of this came the decision to set up my own blogging goals, which is a list of to-do’s which may not be too ambitious but will most likely help me in keeping things in perspective.
Since Flood of Dollars is about making money online, it’s only logical that I try to make money online from it, while keeping a symbiotic relationship with my current and future readers. Although even without any motivation I’ll still do my best to make FOD as resourceful as possible, it never hurts to get incentives whenever it reaches some milestones. Without further adieu, here are what I’m planning to get at with this blog for the month of June:
Here is a snapshot of the Google Analytics stats of FOD. Continue reading →
February 27th, 2007 — scams, about flood of dollars
Flood of Dollars will be the house of all sorts of information on how to make money online the FUN WAY!
Almost everyday, you’ll see, hear, or read about a success story of a normal average person making it big time in the Internet. This inspires you, of course, and makes you think along the lines of “if he can do it, so can I”. Though that’s certainly a good attitude to have if you wish to make money online, keep in mind that like everything else, earning online has its share of disadvantages.
Pros of Making Money Online
Low Entry Costs
Some online businesses may still require you to spend hundreds of dollars setting up, but generally speaking and when compared to how much setting up the same business would cost in the real world, the entry costs for Internet businesses are still considerably lower.
Fewer Entry Barriers
It’s also easier to break into the scene in the Internet. You may have competitors from all parts of the world, and they may have more financial resources than you have, but in the end, all you need to survive is a website, the right SEO techniques, and lots and lots of creativity and resourcefulness.
Cons of Making Money Online
Being Computer and Internet Savvy
Obviously, you’d have to live and breathe computers if you wish to successfully make money online. This means diligently researching for the best SEO strategies and constantly monitoring your website. If you and the Internet are sworn enemies, there’s obviously no hope for you in this arena.
Higher Risks of Fraud
The Internet is a vast universe that’s unfortunately populated by an increasing number of swindlers. It’s easier to lose money due to various crimes in the Internet because the e-commerce is still a relatively young industry, and it lacks the presence of time-proven rules and regulations to hinder cyber criminals from doing harm.
In the end, it’s all up to you. People may say that your chances of making money online are pretty slim, but if you truly believe in your prospective business, then why not give it a shot?
Now after thinking and re-thinking of the pros and cons of making money online and you realize that the pros outweigh the cons for you, by all means, let’s get it on!
Keep yourself posted with the tips and tricks of profiting with the help of the Internet. Flood of Dollars will help you along the way.
