Part 2 - Build a Blog Empire For Free - No Excuses!

Nice, John, real nice. Your Build a Blog Empire thread is closing in on 10,000 views. That's amazing. It just shows how useful your posts are. This is a nice supplement to that one.

Good job, my friend.

John,

You keep giving this great information away. I really like your suggestion about not "over thinking". It can't get any simpler than this.

Action is all that is required and now I'm going to do just that.

John,

You're giving me too much work to do when it's already past midnight here. Finally started my first blog following your "rules" and I will be sure to add amazon to it in a week or two.

Leslie

In your 2nd video you mentioned a cool feature with linking. You're right! Thats REALLY cool! Just curious though, how much do you earn from these blogger sites? If they're good money, I think I might get my outsourcer to make a bunch of them =)

Edit: I'm already making microniche sites, is it still worth going into this?

great follow up! just wanted to throw out there that i in addition to amazon and adsense i also throw in a few well place clickbank hoplinks on my blogs as well.
seems to work well.

These are cool videos John. Thanks a lot

I am heavy user of blogger and the videos just showed other great features that I am totally unaware of; that make things easier to do.

This is great follow-up to your first thread and I hope there is still Part 3 coming soon.

WOW,

You provide tremendous value at the forum. Thanks for your contributions

Love all 3 videos man, very simple and easy to follow.

Thank you for taking the time to put these together John.

thanks for these, looks like really good content

Thank you John for valuable information. However, why you are using Blogger instead of Wordpress?

Zeus,

I love, LOVE, LOVE this method! It just keeps getting better and better!

The second video is priceless. Thank you so much for sharing this stuff with us.

Ayesha

I had one blogler blog with adsence and clickbank and when I added amazon they deleted it.

Julio

You have just show me something that I was totally unaware of. I think I might add this to my blogger blogs and see if it generates an income but at moment I am totally focuse on something else - so it may have to wait a few days. Thanks for the great information.

Hey John,

Thanks for the videos. They rock! I've just started some blogs with Amazon and Adsense - I'm excited to see the money they can make.

John ,

As usual you have over delivered again. You know we are kind of starting to expect that lol.

Of course we have discussed the way I use your system. It is working great for me . Ranking my main sites on G1 and raising their pr at the same time .

Thanks

Zeus, thank you so much for sharing this idea. I've lurked at the WF for a long time but decided to register just so I could thank you myself. If I can make a few hundred bucks every month to pay my electric bill and buy some groceries, I'd be thrilled. The biggest thing in my opinion will be the domino effect of making some decent money online, which will give me the encouragement to work harder on my big money ideas.

For the folks wondering where to get free PLR, just Google for it! I've downloaded over 130,000 free PLR articles, plus several ebooks and videos. Heck, I may use the money I get from this to fund some of my other business endeavors that I needed some money to advance on. Anyway, thanks again for contributing so much.

p.s. For the folks asking "Why Blogger and not Tumblr or Wordpress.com?" Tumblr is search engine kryptonite. Nice blogs, but Google hates them and I know several bloggers who ditched Tumblr for that reason, plus even though they allow Adsense, it doesn't display well on their pages. Wordpress.com does not allow commercial use of their free blogging service and I've read that Google does treat Blogger sites better because it's their property. I believe it because I've stumbled upon lots of Blogger sites over the years while Googling for things, plus they make it super easy to add Adsense to their blogs.

Well, this sucks! I tried to set up my amazon associates account to connect with my blogger and I apparently live in one of the states that is not eligible to participate in their program. Does anyone know why that might be? Since I cannot use Amazon, and other than Adsense, any other suggestions for monetizing my blogs?

Nice work!

I loved the original thread...getting folks to remember to take some action and use the plr articles building up on their HDs but I can't see whats so new about this...I have had an amazon gadget on my personal Blogger blog for about 4 years. In fact I removed it a couple of months back because it was so unprofitable.

EDIT: Ok I just watched the second vid. Thats new. But the commission is really bad. Or has that changed recently too?

Hi Zeus well according to Cdarklock your the man when it comes to blogging on blogger

Well I have a question which is how can I incorporate adsense anywhere in blogger (specifically after the first two lines of my blog content)

Ive been googling this since yesterday and still no joy as the same method keeps coming up but not working on my blog .The content is all ready and this is the final stage but its a big obstacle in the way.

In addition I've got a Thread on ''the step by step guide to blogger '' for my fellow newbies here on wf.

But I need to be able to do this adsense placement so I can complete guide.

Thanks

Its getting late here so I haven't viewed yet, but i'm keen to take a look at your vids

Thanks Zeuss I even found another way that I used and it worked like a charm and if anybody needs some help on it please don't hesitate to ask

How to Insert an AdSense Ad Anywhere Inside a Blog Post

Hi John

Though I got a mail from Google about integration of Amazon with blogger I did not knew about the link integration, your 2nd video was a masterpiece. I implemented it straight way. Can you through some light as to how we can bring traffic to our blogs.
Thanks a lot for sharing with us,
Parg

Thanks for the great info. I just built a blogger blog and followed your instructions with the plr articles and what not. I even pinged my site for free to over a 100 sites. Now I just have some questions about the social bookmarking part of it. I googled 'free social bookmarking' and wasnt thrilled with the results. I am only on myspace and the couple sites I visited required you be a member of all the sites they wanted to bookmark too unless I just am too dumb to figure it out.

Can someone please help with this

Thanks again John for the great info.

Can anyone help with social bookmarking? Maybe suggest some sites please and thank you.

Another reason gotta love the WF. This information is given away for free when it could be sold. Thanks!

Thanks John for some incredible information. I've been so fed up with all the "guru" crap that I've bought this year. So finding your information has been a breath of fresh air. I love putting blogs together and now I have an excuse to feed my addiction. Also, I had as it turned out about 15 Blogger blogs that I had started over the years. Most of them had been deindexed but I've taken your information and today I got six of them up and running (one still needs to be indexed). I've even set up a plan of action for when I need to monetize them. My plan is have 50 of them completed by September 30th. I've got thousands of PLR articles, so I now have a great reason to use them. Turns out a lot of them were well written. Who knew! I'm also going to put up the same number of WP blogs and see what kind of results I get. Kind of a competition! By the way, I bought Zombie Blogging - too much fun!

I created this blog the other day after reading this : Parakeet Paradise - How to Care for, Breed, and Train Your Parakeets and I still have been indexed. I pinged it using a free service. Bookmarked it using delicious and IM automator. But It still hasn't been indexed. Anyone have some suggestions?

Also, if I understood correctly I should wait till I'm indexed for a few weeks before I add amazon, adsense, and other affiliate programs?

P.S. It's hard to find articles about parakeets, lol. Luckily I'm somewhat knowledgable about them.

Great ideas, John.
I try to using your method now, but before that i have a question on

How to find free PLR articles from Google? Any directory listing or site to share?
or should i go to buy PLR articles?

Is it safe to post in blogspot, google can block any blogspot anytime? why dont get a .info domain? It only cost you less then $1 per year and you can be sure your contents are there forever.

I will warn you that if you post more than 30 at a time in rapid succession, even scheduling them out using Blogger, Google will start making you enter Captcha phrases. I had this happen when I started going over 25 articles. Rather annoying.

And thank you so much for adding this information about Amazon. How much easier could that be! Thanks so much! Now if I could just drive traffic to the sites!

great info and it really is a simple way to get some extra cash,I used the last chq I got to pay for a WSO great !

Could you give me an idea of how much you can make with this method? Let say I build 100-200 sites, how much income will this aprox. make. Around 50? 500?

What a quick solution to procrastination and inertia!

I do a couple of these and 'feel' like getting back to work on other stuff being neglected. It does it for me. If I'm dragging my feet with anything I just need a boost of 'accomplishment' from somewhere else to make me want to get more work done. So I do a couple of these sites because they are so quick to do, and pretty soon I have several other things done from my 'todo list' as well.

Thanks, John.

Nice series John. Appreciate your videos.

Really good work. I embedded these videos on one of my older blog posts that's still popular about using Amazon to find trending and hot products. Now my readers will know how to install their links.

Thanks for the quality content........

Thanks for the great Information!!

Has anyone actually made money by building Blos this way. Just curious because I havn't seen someone yet in this thread who has.

I set up sites with the same concept on self-hosted WordPress blogs. They make me money, and once they do and I see a decent amount of traffic I start building them out with original content.

Leslie

I had half a dozen blogs set up exactly the way I laid out in the OP that all made some money. Like Leslie, I then converted them to either WP or using my own HTML templates and hosted them myself on my own domains. There's just one possible use for this method. Use the free Blogger platform to test your niche/keywords/monetization scheme. If you see any traction at all, move that puppy to a more robust platform and grab a relevant domain.

I recently read the first thread to this system.
It seems like a great idea to use as a way to generate some pocket cash.

I have two questions for anyone who cares to answer:

1. How is this system holding up since the recent Google Panda thing?

2. Is there anyone out there who started this system from the very first thread and can give us an update on how they are doing?


Andy

Is there a wordpress equivalent that i can get my hands on?

i can't use adsense because they blocked my account ( second time).
So with the amazon is it a good way to monetize the blog or with clickbank?
in that case it is better to search first for good products, see if they are hot in alexa or trends and then search for PLR right?

something like this would work?
Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750
Bit Hdtv
New Psoriasis Treatments
The Loophole

would be very helpful to know what i am missing or doing wrong.. because i don't have conversions in clickbank or any other site..
