Make Money Blog

It was June 209, when I launched KaiserWebs.com- my personal web hosting site. At first I have no idea if I can really make money from it.I just keep on reading and asking people online how to market this kind of business.  And now, the income of my Web Hosting is already a part of my budget. I am earning more than a half on my full-time job[8 hours/day]. I will share to you how I set up my web hosting business.

You can now set up a web hosting company without ever having to bother buying cPanel licenses or setting up a server. You can just purchase reseller hosting from many hosts, just as you would if you were buying web hosting. This costs around $30 a month. Just $30 a month to start your own host!

You get a domain name most of the time (Read the features list as it will be listed there if you do get a free domain) and you are set up to sell. Then you simply go out and promote your hosting!

To get customers, first of all you need a great deal. Although this may sound weird sell your first hosting for LESS than it costs you. Then people will link to you, building your authority. After that has occurred you can raise the prices to match professional hosting companies like Host Gator.

To promote quickly consider posting at a well known webmaster forum, Digital Point. Many people are looking for a good deal. Also prepare to give some reviews as these people demand reviews. Make sure to limit the amount of free review copies you give out to a maximum of 3. Also make sure they have 100+ posts and at least 10 iTrader as you get many people who take the review copy and leave. However web hosting isn’t like a e-book. Just ban the user! This should then get the ball rolling and you can get a lot of sales.

People at Digital Point are used to being scammed by hosts and so will question you a lot with questions such as “How long have you had this domain?” and other things. Don’t lye as these people know in a instant if you are lying!

Once you can cover your expenses and make a profit you could consider advertising on Google AdWords or similar. This is optional but can increase your sales quickly. Also you could upgrade to a better reseller package to get ready for more growth in sales and thus clients and space!

Another thing to consider if you have deep pockets is affiliate programs. You pay people to send customers to you. However the web hosting affiliate programs offer $65 or more per sale! That is a problem unless you can keep users with you for around a year at $6 a month.

The web hosting market is very saturated so be prepared to work a lot to get customers. There are more and more web hosts day by day! Also people are less likely to pay resellers than people who own the servers, as if something goes wrong it takes longer to fix if you are a reseller.

Finally I advise that you offer a good plan as no one will go for a smaller plan when a bigger plan is available at the same price. So make sure to offer a good, and reasonable amount of space and bandwidth as this increases sales!

It was May 2008 when  I first launched a website. The UICCs07.net, it was just a website for our batch in college. I don’t have any SEO and Internet Marketing knowledge back then. After doing some research  in blogging and online marketing, I decided to put up a blog- that was EarningBlogOnline.com. That was my first online journey, my only hope that time was I can make money online through blogging.

I’ve read a lot of successful stories from famous blogger that they are earning thousands and even million dollars per month. When I tried blogging for 2 months I realized that it’s not that easy to make money online. I planned to quit before but some of my friends told me that if I quite I would never win, so instead I continued blogging and promoting my site.

My online journey was not really easy, since I am not really a good writer. There are times I received lots of comments and negative feedbacks about my articles. Most of the comments telling me that there are some grammatical errors on my output, but I am sorry for that and told my readers that I am not a writer, but I know it is not a good excuse.  One of the reasons I strive harder in blogging is to enhance my writing skills.

One day, I recieved an email from someone that he was interested in buying my blog. I thought that was just a joke and I told him that the price is $1k. I was surprised when he said $800 and I told him $950 is the last priceand he agreed. That time I was not sure on what to do with that money. I was thinking of investing it but I’m not sure on where to start. I made a lot of researched on how to invest online. I finally decided to buy a laptop, established website and new domains as investmest.

After couples of months of promoting my websites, I am  earning couple of bucks from adsense and text advertising. I continue what i am currently doing in promotion. I am not sure how many ebooks i’ve read from cover to cover, how many video tutorials I watched, how many thread I’ve started asking people, and how many website a visited just to look for information in website promotion. 

 Last March, I earned  $100 from Adsense and  received my first google ads payment first week of April. I noticed that my google ads earning from January is constantly increasing about 30%-50% each month.  Although I  failed to earn $100 in 2 months, but still I am happy that at least of  earning $40 in April and $57 for   May. This month, my hope is to get of at least  $80-$100 from Adsense.  See the screenshots below.

 Last week I was surprise for an unexpected google pagerank update. 2 of my sites got PR 4, so I planned to sell text link and banner ads. I started a thread in Digitalpoint that I am selling link[here]. I received a lot of PM that they are interested. I earned $350 without spending hours, it would just take 2 minutes to insert the link. See screenshots for proof.

You might wonder and ask why I am showing all of these. The reason is so simple,  I just want to prove that there is really money online and from blogging. At the same time, all of my previous blog post about make money online are not just a blah blah.

As I am looking back to the days and to my hardship in my  online journey, I wish this couple be your inspiration to pursue your make money online journey too.

So you want to do blogging? It seems exciting and quite easy to do , right? Blogging is something that pays well without having to sweat buckets. In other words, it’s akin to online business. Before you submit your  resignation letter and start blogging, it is better to think twice and continue reading this post.

Many people now considered blogging as a career or as a source of income, than working 8 hours a day in the office. The idea of working in little time but get more money is hard to resist. Although it’s not a zero capital, but it’s a little capital to start, especially to those who have already computers and Internet connection, blogging seems the best way to go to.
Here are some reasons why I said blogging could be very exciting tasks:

1. Having your own website gives you a free hand in planning or designing your site. You can think of any ideas, or you can let your creative ideas flowing and post it on your blog without anyone telling you to stop.

2. As the boss of your own business you can work any time you want. You can select people you only like to work with.
3. You can charge any price for links, space ads, or you can set a price for paid post depending on how much you want to earn. But of course, it depends on recent market conditions.

4. After you pay for all of your bills like electric bills, Internet connection, monthly web hosting bills, domain name payment, the remaining money is all yours to keep. However, you need to spend/invest your money wisely so you don’t end up getting richer only in a short period of time.

Of course blogging requires skills. Every blogger’s dictum is “Content is  King’. Nothing can beat bloggers with great writing skills and with plenty of creative ideas to share on his blog. Notice how famous bloggers wrote their post while almost anyone online visits their niche. DO I need to mention names? I don’t think so. I know you know most of them. Let’s face it, website or blog with great content catches more attention and the content of your site is what everybody will comment on. If you think you don’t have any writing  skills, you can hire someone who has it.

How about link building skills or SEO skills? It will hit you once you have common sense. Thus, “common sense is another crucial skill you need in blogging and the rest is history.

If  you read this far and was convinced that quitting your job and blogging is the great choice for you, I wish you all the best. Oh, and did I mention we are accepting advertisers here? Don’t forget to advertise your site in this website.

 Yesterday I received comments from co - bloggers telling me that one of my articles is not an original and it was being copied from another site. At first, I disregard that comments because I thought it was just a spam comment. Today, I also received the same comments which are alarming that requires me to do something. When I read the entire comments, I found out that someone is reporting to Google about the copied article without any credits to original site/s. I was really shocked because I am not into a habit of copying any content from other resources, unless it requires me to do so,  but of course with link love to the author.

 He sent me the URL of the copied article from my blog and the original article from one of the famous blogs [Problogger.net].  When I checked it, I found out that the article is really a copy from that site and edited some of them. That article was written by someone from DIGITALPOINT,  but I am not sure if this one is the right thread. I usually hired someone to write a blog post for me if I don’t have the time to write one. I would like to apologize to the original source of the copied article. I already deleted that article for that reason. 

From that experienced I would like to share some tips on how to prevent this problem happened again. When buying articles you need to consider these:

    * Check the background of the written- The more feedback the better

    * Don’t buy a cheap article - Cheap article = POOR article

    *  Check the article before publishing it to your blog

    * Don’t rely on CopyScape- Copyscape is not assurance of having a unique article

    * Ask the writer if he just rewrites the article and asks for the source
