June 23rd, 2007 — blog promotion
One of the ways to promote a new blog is to order paid reviews from other blogs with high traffic. But how do you make sure you get the best bang out of your bucks?
Here are what I’ve observed that makes a paid review pay off:
1. Enrich your blog with content first.
Like what John Chow has advised, there’s not much sense in paying someone to review your blog if there’s nothing much to review. Maybe if you’re just in for the blog design criticisms, filling up your blog with a considerable amount of quality posts won’t be that much needed. But if your blog is more of tips and tricks on a certain niche, get yourself writing some fun to read and informative blog posts first before damaging your wallet with the help of PayPerPost or ReviewMe.

If you are a professional blogger, say you’re a corporate blogger or you’re blogging for a blog network and you’re one of those who can’t get past the stage of using some blog accessories you’ve always enjoyed during your younger personal blogging days, you can still have some fun and ”earn some money” if you do it with moderation.
Here are some blog accessories bloggers who are making money online with their blogs can make use of without turning off their readers:
Clean and Easy to Navigate Blog Layout
There are thousands of free Wordpress themes and Blogger templates out there that you can choose from. But how do you know which assist you in your endeavor to increase your blog profits? Select a blog template that is cool - to the eye that is. White background and lots of space is still the fad if you want your visitors to enjoy reading your blog.

June 17th, 2007 — affiliate program
One of the simplest way to get the most out of the method of making money online via affiliate programs is to create a site that is designed to earn you from affiliate programs.
If you want to build a house that will please your bride, you’ll definitely consider her preferences and not just yours, won’t you? It’s the same when building a website if its main purpose is to profit from affiliate programs. You need to consider what e-merchants are looking for from an affiliate’s website.
Firstly, the content of your site must be related to the affiliate programs you’ve joined. It’s better to choose affiliate programs that fall under one product category to have an easier time creating valuable content for your website. If, for instance, you’re joining an affiliate program selling pet gear, your website should naturally be related to pets. Continue reading →
