Managing Multiple Blogs

Have you been working relentlessly at web marketing with hardly anything to show for it? Have you noticed that there is one, bright, new, exhilarating scheme after the next being sold to you but hardly anything seems to work out in the end? Do you recognize that you are being sold out-dated information or only part of the total picture? You are not to blame and you are not alone but that still doesn't put dollars in your pocket.



Do you recognize what the trouble is? You are running along after a crowd of people, just like yourself, who try out everything new that comes along. Because so many others are attempting the same scheme, the competition is intense and no one makes much cash. But how about those fabulously rich Internet gurus? How come they are earning big bucks and you aren’t? Either they are fibbing to you about their achievements or they are actually doing well and are deliberately not showing how they are doing it. In that case, they are probably taking a different road.



The actual dollars being made on the Internet are being accumulated in ways that have not been universally discovered or are so straightforward that they may appear to be without worth to the uninformed observer. The truth is always simple but that very fact escapes the eyes of most people because they think that the truth has to be complicated or difficult. The big cash being made these days on the web is being made "under the radar." One example of this is the use of so-called money sites.



What is a money site? A money site is a very plain site with a single intent: A money site is set up to rake in as much cash as possible using simplicity. A money site is not showy. It’s just well-designed to lead potential customers rapidly to where you want them to go which is straight to the "Add to Cart" button. A blog is a great venue for a money site because it can be made to work fast. It needs only a theme, content related to that theme and it needs to contain advertising. Some of these ads will make you money. Small amounts of income will come in from Google Adsense ads and larger amounts from small advertisements leading to affiliate sites that earn you money for every sale you bring to them. A great place to get affiliate ads is ClickBank.com where sellers will pay you commissions of up to 75% of whatever your visitor ends up buying from them. Each affiliate ad is embedded with a code that identifies you as the site owner who is to be paid the commission.



Now, a site like this may only make $30 or so a day, on average, but since it was so effortless to set up and is so unproblematic to keep up, you might want to think about building a whole group of sites with different themes, catering to different but hot niches. A string of 10 sites might compensate you with about $300 a day, a group of 20 sites about $600 a day, and a series of 50 sites about $1500 a day or $293,500 annually. Now, it's true that some sites will prove to be great winners while other may show themselves to be without merit. As you go along, you can discard the poorly-performing sites and replace them with new blogs. There are literally thousands of different products to sell on ClickBank and it’s easy to ascertain which products are making the most income.



You might want to consider using Word Press as the location for your blogs. Do not go to the Word Press site directly because those blogs are not permitted to contain ads. Rather, access Word Press from inside a web site hosting company such as HostGator.Com. (Not all hosting firms offer the Word Press feature.) Sign up for Host Gator's "Baby" account (or larger). That way, you will be allowed to have unlimited sub-domains but pay only for the hosting of one web site. You simply make the number of sub-domains you will want for the number of blogs you will be making. Google (and the other search engines) look at a sub-domain as a distinct web site or blog for ranking purposes. If your master URL were xyz.com and you were selling widgets on one of your blogs and you were making a sub-domain for that blog, you would name it something like "widgets.xyz.Com." This also gives you a good chance of being able to use a potent keyword in your URL even though the URL "widgets.Com" has been taken by another person.



You should use software to assists you in doing protracted, repeated tasks. There is plenty of web marketing software out there to help with most any facet of what you need to accomplish to keep your sites running with out a hitch and while herding generous amounts of highly-targeted traffic to them. Don’t worry too much about content, there is a plethora of that out there on most every focus and there is software to find it for you rapidly and readily.



Each time a person arrives atone of your blogs, you should have a squeeze page to gather their email address. You can give away something of value for this or you can use the squeeze box as the price of admission to get to another page or video of interest. You will use these highly-targeted email addresses to fabricate an email list for marketing purposes. That will be one of the most profitable things you can do in Internet marketing.



You will use carefully-researched keywords to bring great quantities of search engine "organic" traffic to your site. Organic traffic is free, targeted traffic. You will discover how to get placed high in the search engine pages for the best keywords. You will discover how to find the most lucrative market niches and profit from them. You will find out how to develop excellent content by yourself or by using existing material from elsewhere on the web. You will discover how to get RSS feeds of content to your site and you will learn how to place yourself as an "expert" in your niche so that visitors will come to have faith in you and purchase from you. How are you going to learn all of this? Just open your eyes and look around you. The answer should be clear as a bell. It’s staring you right in the face!
