If you'd like to start a business on the Internet, and potentially earn $10,000+ each MONTH -- even BEFORE you have a website -- you'll want to read this article very carefully...


I recently read the newly revised and updated version of IMC's "The Insider Secrets To Selling On eBay," and I've got to tell you, it's a must-have for ANYONE wanting to start earning money online!



It doesn't matter if you have NO business experience, NO money to invest, and NO products to sell...


... IMC's team of eBay PowerSellers will show you the EXACT steps you need to follow to start a SERIOUS eBay business.


IMC's experts have spend YEARS researching, developing, testing, and perfecting these strategies (which less than 5% of eBay PowerSellers know about), and thousands of people with no special skills or talents have used them to earn incomes of $2,500... $5,000... $10,000 and MORE each month.


In "Insider Secrets to Selling on eBay," you'll discover:

It's the only eBay "how to" program that NEVER goes out of date!


PLUS... IMC is also giving away FOUR super bonuses, including a 90-minute live webinar TOP with their TOP eBay expert!



As far as I'm concerned, "Insider Secrets to Selling on eBay" is a perfect 10, and I recommend you take a look at it right away.

So you have got yourself a good domain name, found a reliable web host and done all the necessary steps to set up your make money blog. As you are writing content for your make money blog, there are 3 important factors to bear in mind to prevent your posts from sinking into oblivion. Blog marketing is effective only when you succeed in attracting potential readers to your make money blog with good content and turning them into regulars.

  1. Keep The Primary Goal Of Blogging In Mind
    The main reason you are writing a blog must be to provide useful information. If you are writing posts with the only goal to make money blogging, you are most likely to fail because your blog will show that and no one will be interested to read it.

    When you are focused on your primary goal to create useful information, the other benefits of promoting your blog come naturally – branding, lead optimization, increased blog traffic and ultimately, money.

  2. Maximize Promotional Opportunities Of Blog Marketing
    Articles that are useful and entertaining attract readers and articles that are keyword optimized give better search engine results.

    Using keywords strategically without overdoing it is an effective way to promote your make money blog. Using anchor text links in articles is an effective way to get higher ranking.

  3. Don’t Rush Through A Post Resulting In Content That Is Not Useful To Readers
    Often when writing articles, back links, keywords and how much traffic – and consequently how much money we can make – dominate our writing process. Instead of trying to push out as many posts as possible in the hope of getting more links and traffic, it is way more important to ensure quality blog content rather than quantity.

    Readers and publishers are selective when choosing which blogs to read simply because there is such an overwhelming amount of information on the internet. Sometimes, all it takes is one well-researched and written article to get a popular blog with a hundred thousand readers to potentially bring on an explosion of traffic to your make money blog.

It ultimately goes back to the basics of a blog: GOOD CONTENT. Once there is good content, everything else will eventually fall into place and you will succeed in making money online blogging with a niche blog.

Among the best money making ideas for beginners is to use methods which earn recurring income such as affiliate sales. You could achieve this without a blog but blogging about a product which you’ve tried and tested beats any sales copy because of the special connection and trust bloggers establish with their readers.

Make Money Blogging

There are several ways bloggers use to make money blogging:

  1. Affiliate Sales
    You can pick a best-selling product from popular affiliate sales site like Clickbank or PayDotCom where sellers list their products and affiliates select products they want to sell.

    How to choose affiliate products to sell?

    Commission rates vary but picking a high price product with high commissions of at least 75% and a low refund rate is a good start. Ideally, you should try the product or read the ebook you are promoting since blogging about something you haven’t experienced first hand would likely result in a post that readers can tell is not genuine.

    Many sites also have direct affiliate sales programmes such as Amazon.

    Pros: High commissions and recurring income if offered by product.
    Cons: Products usually have a money-back guarantee period of at least 30 days which means you will only be paid your commission after 30 days if there is no refund made.

    If a product is a best-selling one, it means many other affiliates are already selling it and the market may be saturated making it hard to get sales.

  2. Direct Advertisers
    When you have a fair amount of traffic on your blog, advertisers will be interested to buy advertising banners and text links to place on your blog. You can also charge to write a review for advertisers’ products and services.

    Pros: You get all the money without having to give out any commission.
    Cons: Direct advertisers are not easy to come by so if one does, treat the advertiser like royalty.

  3. Paid Reviews And Text Links
    One of the most common money making opportunities for bloggers is by paid blogging. There are many companies that act as a middle man for advertisers and bloggers. They take a commission cut from sales but their service is useful to help bloggers find advertisers who want to buy reviews or text ads.

    These companies include LinkWorth and Text-Link-Ads. Blogs have to meet certain requirements such as PageRank before they are accepted.

    Pros: Ready pool of advertisers provided.
    Cons: Middleman takes a percentage cut from your revenue.

  4. Contextual/Text Ads
    Beside Google AdSense, there are many other companies that provide contextual-relevant text ads which are automatically sent with a code placed
    in your blog template. Another text ad company, Bidvertiser lets you pick the advertisers you want for your blog. They are more suitable for beginners because minimum payout is only US$10 compared to US$100 for AdSense which is much harder to reach.

    Pros: Easy to implement – just copy and past the ad code and no need to bother with it anymore.
    Cons: Unless you have fairly good blog traffic, you may not get many people clicking on the ads. Revenue is usually very slow.

There is no reason why you cannot try all the methods to find out which ones work best for you. In fact, you should try them all more than once as your blog changes and grows over time. For some, make money selling affiliate products work best while others find success elsewhere.

Different bloggers will report varying success with different methods so don’t be put off by reading someone’s post that AdSense doesn’t work or get angry when a recommended method flopped badly for you.

It will take time to work out an income strategy that works for you but the most important task to make it work is to have good blog content. Without good content, there can be no blog traffic and non of the methods have a chance of succeeding.

CPAs can provide a wide range of services, from setting up and administering your accounting system to consulting and tax preparation.

If for no other reason than tax planning, it is a wise move to consult an accountant. Accountants can help you generate the reports and financial statements you'll need to manage your business, as well as help you keep up with tax laws and reduce tax liabilities.

You need to find an accountant that you can build a friendly and trusting relationship with. Here are some things to look for when hiring accountants or CPAs:

  • Are they licensed to practice in your state?
  • Do they have experience with your size and type of business?
  • Do they have good references? (Remember to ask for referrals from your banker, associates, or peers.)
  • Will they be accessible and return your calls promptly?
  • Can they provide insights into other areas, such as human resources or operations?
  • Are they respected in the community?
  • Do you trust and feel comfortable with them?
  • Do they represent themselves in a professional manner?
In addition to helping you set up your accounting system and assisting you with tax planning and preparation, you may also want to consider hiring an accountant or CPA to:
  • compile financial statements
  • review the statements you've generated yourself to find any problems or questionable items
  • perform an annual audit of your books to ensure everything is being maintained accurately

For help locating an accountant or CPA, there are many searchable databases on the Internet, but the best bet is to get referrals from friends, business associates, your legal advisors, bankers, or other trusted sources.

Keys to Success

The first step to making accounting fun is to get a grip on the terminology. If your heart skips a beat when someone asks about your balance sheet, you can calm yourself by learning exactly what a balance sheet is and how it can help you. We've added a glossary of accounting terms at the end of this article to get you over the hump.

Second, realize that accounting is more than numbers. It includes databases of your customers, your vendors, and your employees, if you have them. The information you keep on these people and companies will help you track your business and plan your future. With proper accounting, you might discover that people in the Florida Keys buy barrels of pork bellies in February. You can legitimately plan a sales trip for the entire month. See? This is getting interesting.

Third, the key to successful accounting is in the establishment of your accounting system and the reliable input of data. You will set up a system that is uniquely yours. Recording the transactions and information is called bookkeeping, and it must be done regularly. You won't get a good picture of your company if the paint (data) is stored in boxes in the basement. There is nothing harder than the task of going back to find and key in reams of old information. When you do, you stand a good chance of getting something wrong.

People are starting their own businesses every day. If you're thinking about joining them, you probably have a vision of what you want that business to be. What may excite you about your business is the product or service you have to offer, the success that you imagine, and the freedom of lifestyle that you are sure will come -- in time. What may bore or even frighten you is the plethora of numbers you have to wrestle with. You will be asked business questions that may elicit a blank stare as your response. Cash accounting? Accrual basis? Profit and loss statement?

Whether you want to create fine oil paintings or sell pork bellies on the street, your business will require some form of accounting. That term alone can cast a glaze over the brightest eyes, but in this article, we'll show you that accounting is a process larger than crunching your numbers. It is a tool that will help you "account for" what your business has done, is doing, and hopes to do in the future. Accounting can be a bit like painting a picture, and a little like solving a puzzle. Despite its bad press, it can actually be fun.
