How to make money with my BLOG! Help Please will thank!

Hey imback,

Your blog looks good. There are a few things you could do that I can think of:

1. Make your ads to the poker sites more prominent. At the moment you have them listed on the right hand side menu. Perhaps test a banner or something like that offering a free trial to one of the sites.

2. You could write up a short report and capture your visitors emails. Something like "5 Essential Poker Strategies You Have To Know". You seem to know a lot about poker so that shouldn't be too hard. Then you can follow that up with promotions or guides that you can find on Clickbank...or even better write your own.

I would get onto Aweber if you can afford it (it's cheap though) for your email stuff. They have an option to have the web form as a pop up or in within your blog.

First though, write your report and get your sales funnel set up before you go and subscribe to Aweber.

Kenster if your out there... I really enjoyed your previous tips from a couple months ago. Could you evaluate my blog again?

Nice advice, i can you these in my blogs as well Thanks

Regards

Why don't you place paid advertising from the start ?

This is dumb. Tried replying to this thread but it keeps taking forever. Stupid Technology...

Anyways, what I wanted to say was...
------------
400 visitors? Over what time period?

A couple options are...

Adsense. Depending if it works out for you though.

Ad Network. Go for the bigger ones. Some of them require a certain amount of traffic though, but it can prove to be very lucrative.

Clickbank Affiliate. Depends on whether you want to put in some manual labor inserting links and images, but some products have a very good commission.

Sponsorship/Reviews. See if you can find a company in your niche willing to sponsor your blog for money/send you free stuff. This can be VERY lucrative, not to mention the free stuff.

Paid Blog posts. Depending on where you look and who you use, companies can purchase a "sponsored post", which means you write an article on them/about a product, but get paid from them. Sometimes this is a good source of income, but it could also be spammers trying to get cheap linkbacks.

Let us know how it goes, the site and the articles I read are pretty darn good imo. Keep it up!

The 400 visitors is only from the past 2 full months...That is when I made the site live...

And yes adsense will not work because my niche is poker/gambling

Also is 400 visitors good for 2 months and that's unique vistors

Another quick question how do you guys go about finding sponsorships or paid blog posts

or is it just a contact people yourself deal? Thanks for help

Hey imback,

I notice you are already affiliated with pokerstars and the like... I'd make them a bit more predominant, and add the links in the text (relevantly of course)

And try to ramp up the traffic amount, 400 is not enough, especially over 2 months

Try mailchimp if you need a free trial for an autoresponse (pretty good, letting you get up to 1k subscribers and send out 6k emails free) (non affiliated)

Delve deeper into learning about free traffic and keep at it

Open up your traffic sources if you haven't already... build youtube vids... more blogs linking to that one, articles, press releases, rss directory submission, social bookmarking (MANY sites), forum posting (on gambling forums, posting useful content).

Try some out, see what you like, stick to what you like and build up a strength at that traffic source.

Have a good one,

David

If possible could you give me a few really good websites for SEO and or free traffic

I'm not looking for an easy way out clearly have written a lot of articles sneak forth just disappointed google doesn't seem to like it with only 400 visitors in 2 months

Thanks will read into that.....

So with my current blog what type of traffic should I be seeing to be considered good?

like I stated I currently have around 400 vistors over 2 months
