Im Not Making Money

How old is your domain/blog? How recently did you submit the articles?

I've found the number one virtue you have to have in this business is patience
It can take several months to a year to really see any results from your efforts. You just have to keep plugging along at it. If you're persistent, you'll likely see results - but it won't be immediate.

I didn't read anything about your SEO efforts, where you are hosting and how you went about getting backlinks to improve your SERP on your keywords for your given niche. If you can't answer these questions well I think you have your answer.

How long has your blog been active? Has it been indexed? Getting traffic to your blog and making money online is a process that takes some time.

If you are serious you need to host the blog yourself and grab your own domain name. Otherwise it's an uphill fight. I'm sure some people have had success with blogs at either blogspot or Wordpress directly but my own traffic zoomed once I integrated the blog within my own site. Much easier to backlink and nobody to look over your shoulder other than the Google monster.

I would buy my own website, i did have one but the costs where so much, it was 8.99$/month for hosting + the yearly fee and all i need is basically 1 sales page that explains the product thats for sale and a affiliate link to the product thats why i use blogspot

Hey man.. you need a lot of backlinks, that what you should do.. And blogspot is not a good platform for ranking. Buy a great (well researched) domain name, create a wp blog, and do a lot of backlinking.

The root of the problem is that your main focus is directed on building your email list and delivering value to your subscribers. Build a squeeze page and start sending traffic to your squeeze page.

You will need to create at least a 7 day free course or ebook before sending traffic to giveaway your gift to your the visitor that you funnel from your traffic. You will first have to create the free gift and then send people to squeeze. On your blog put a pop up - specifically light box email box to give away your free gift.

Have your emails and content already completed. Talk about your affiliate links as recommended resources in your free course. If people are not buying after seeing you at least 7 times than give away bonuses as incentive to create sales.

Also I suggest you put a signature promoting your free gift and your blog so we all can take a look at your blog.

We'll start from the beginning.

To get anywhere in this business, you need your own domain, that is going to be $10 at least. Head over to Namecheap.com and get one for a blogging purpose and you get whoisguard free the first year. (No plug here, they're just the company I get all my domains from).

Hosting, well, that can range from FREE to $100 a month. Really depends on what you want to do. Right now I don't have any business sites up, just sites that I work on frequently for my art and webcomic purposes. A friend of mine hosts me out of the kindness of her heart.

I recommend surpass hosting, they're what I've used when I had business sites, and those sites only when down when I screwed up somehow, it wasn't the hosts fault at any point (that I was aware of).

Next, I agree that 10 articles just isn't enough. Sorry man, but 10 articles is barely a days work for a writer or an affiliate marketer. When I was working with articles, I wrote 10-25 a day. That's not much compared to some other members of this forum, but its definitely something. In a week you could have 70-175 articles. Lots more out there for you to get traffic from.

Blogspot is a backlink source in my opinion. I never use it for 'The' site where all my business is taking place. Again, the need for your own site is here. Blogspot should be pointing to this site of yours.

Also, if you've only got just one post on your blog about the product, its not going anywhere. Google isn't going to care about a blog that isn't updated regularly, nor is it going to care about your affiliate link.

Heck, I'd say buy a domain that redirects to the link if you have to. Sometimes affiliate links can be blindingly obvious to people who are careful enough to (and most are nowadays) to check the link ahead of time. All it takes is putting the mouse cursor over the link to see where it goes.

I was there, right were you are about 6 years ago friend. Just do more and more, as best as you can. Don't forget to use tools such as reddit, twitter, propeller, and other social media sites. They too can help with traffic and page ranking.

In the end, I would recommend simply quit being frugal about hosting, get a new domain, build a wordpress site out of it, and update it regularly. Write as many articles a day as you can, outsourcing this will be expensive if you don't want to do it, and submit them to article directories.

Internet marketing is WORK. It's not some magic fix-all that will touch of a button poof all this money into your account.

A needle in a haystack. You have one blogspot blog out of millions. Someone would have to look really hard to find it. The people that I've read about or watched videos on that make money with blogspot have hundreds or thousands of them and none of them get much traffic. Just a sale here or there, and the pure volume of sites allows them to do that.

I started with blogspot, and have 10 decent blogs with good content, article marketing, etc. etc. Very little traffic and a couple bucks here and there from adsense.
