This post is for those who may be wondering why should one have a website at all for his company and how websites can help getting business or increase sales, forget about blog.

Internet and Google has generated and convinced almost everyone in the world that, ‘any kind of’ information can be obtained by searching internet. Google has been quite successful in providing right information at the shortest possible time. So, most of the time, people turn to internet and search engines or search websites like Google, Yahoo to find information on internet.

And if you have an website where you have published whatever services/products available from your company, chances are, Google or other search engines have stored those information. So, when people search for services/products similar to what your company provides, they might end up visiting your website!

When they visit your website, they read the articles posted in your website about your services and products. Now if they like your services or products, then they might leave you a message for you that they liked your product or services and would like to avail it. Yes, this is an inquiry!

Now, your sales department has got an ’sales lead’ and they are paid for converting a lead into a sale!

That is how one may earn or increase sales from an website.

In every blog, one would find a search option to search contents of the blog. This is one of the “must have” features in an website which helps website usability as well as great tool to find related information for a visitor. Though, search may not be much useful with blogs with few posts, but imaging of a blog which has thousands of posts! Search inside the site does help find related posts or contents!

Here are few benefits of having search feature in a blog:

1. It makes money

One of the most important reason for putting custom google search n your blog! You may earn moneywhile people search your site! Google displays related advertisements as per search keywords! Normally, these advertisements link to relevant website which increases chances of click by the web visitors.

2. One may get idea about new keywords

If one keeps checking log of search keywords used by visitors, he would get ideas which keywords are more searched than others. It may give good hint, what kind of keywords to target and how to monetise them!

3. Increases site usability

It increases usability of the blog as people can search quickly for related contents or keyword inside the website. Many contents may be buried inside archive pages which takes time for manual browsing! But with search option, people can find content quickly.

4. Marketing Analytic

Search keywords or phrases may give very good analysis of website visitors patterns. It will help online marketing analysis and position contents of the blog for getting more visitor as well as increase online earning.

So, have you put Google Custom Search page yet ?

There are many blogs about blogging, using blog to make money online. All seem to be anonymous one one line :-
Ranking on top in search engines brings in visitors and from those organic visitors, a “blogger make money”.

So, making money using a blog is only two step process :-

1. Rank at the top of the search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.
2. Make money from the visitors from search engines.

The big question, for the both questions : HOW ?

The simplest way to rank at top in search engines, seems to be “impress upon” search engine officer and get your website listed at the top. Even for two hours a day should bring enough visitors to your blog!
Sadly, it is not possible to “impress upon” search engine officers. So the only other method, to rank at top of search engines, is DIY SEO ( Do It Yourself Search Engine Optimizations). If you hire an SEO specialist, he would charge you too and as a blogger, you do not have enough money to pay him! So, option for you is to read SEO tips!
So, divide the #1 above to three steps :-
1.1 Search SEO Tips
1.2 Learn SEO tips
1.3 Implement SEO tips in your blog.
This will take time, you will need to lot of hard work. So, the one line is HARD WORK is money.

Now about the other step #2. How does one earn from blog visitor ? Do you keep a Donate button and they would start donating with their credit card helping you earn online ?

No, no visitor will do that, may be if you are not His Highness Dalai Lama! Or may be, if you are a political leader likely to become the next head of the state, people will flock to your site and donate! But how do we normal people like us exploit visitors to make money from them ?

While few of your blog visitor may click on your affiliate links which one puts prominently at the right bar of the blog, most of them would not do such a thing. You may have put Google AdSense advertisements at prominent places, may have even tried doing many experiments by placing them here and there, putting inside blog post, blending with contents, but you will not make enough to boast about them that your blog visitors from search engines click your ads and help you make money!

So, how does one make money when they have many visitors ? Well, advertisements! But they are direct advertisers who are related to your blog, and they pay you real money and a amount which you can boast of making money online.

If you want to earn a lot from Google AdSense or any other “Pay Per Click” advertisement publishers, only way is to have many blogs, in different niches, display as many advertisements as possible so that chances of getting clicked increases! How do you have large number of blogs ? One word : HARD WORK.

HARD WORK is money. Online or otherwise.

Many people travel for varieties of reason. Some travel for holidays, some on business. While traveling, people meet interesting people, may hear interesting stories abut monuments, historical sites etc. People do stay in hotels, guest house etc during travel. How about writing your travel experiences ?

Writing travel experiences can accomplish two important tasks :-

1. Keep a record of your travel
2. Articles on any travel destination can earn you money.

1. Keep a record of your travel
It is said that, every traveler has a best seller in him! So, by writing your travel experiences, you are writing your best seller. Over a period of times, one will build up many articles with many interesting stories, people, few one liners, dialogues which may become a good reading later. Any written record may prove to be very valuable in future.

2. Articles on any travel destination can earn you money
One does not need be to be a good writer to earn money from writing travel experiences. One can earn money various ways by writing travel articles.

a. One can start a blog with his travel articles. Many hotel properties, resorts like independent review of their properties. Blogging about them is great value to them and they may consider advertising their properties one your blog. Also, many properties would link your article giving your blog more authority and it will provide quality linkback.

b. Selling article to travel magazines
There are many travel magazines who would be interested in your article. Any article with actual travel experience is regarded as a authoritative article. If you use some pictures, it may earn you more.

c. Many websites require article for their sites. Also they need to keep building contents constantly. One may write articles for them and earn money.

So, if you are traveler, start earning online from today!

It is not easy to get huge traffic to your blog overnight if your were not a celebrity few nights before! But one needs to pay for domain name, web space and also spend time in writing posts, doing some social media submission etc. So how to start earning even when one is trying to increase traffic to his blog ?

Here is some ideas which may help you earn online even with low blog traffic :-

Check your blog stat and study how visitors are reaching. Specially check the ones which have come from search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo. Give special attention to the one with more than 3 words. If some one has written three words and searched on net, he is serious person who must have tried single word keyword searches before and now trying the longer ones. Try to guess what he might be looking for and write an article and put relevant clickbank links. Chances are, such people will click your ads.

This is one trick if you use properly, it will not only help increase your organic traffic, but also help you earn money with little traffic you get to your blog. I have tried this and it worked for me.

One of the best ways to earn online is by writing reviews. This is one of the reason why everyone wants to own a niche blog. Everybody loves the most intelligent flattery, when some one says one can not be flattered. Likewise, every product loves when they are not advertised directly, but ‘reviewed’ by a blogger. Also blogger gets paid handsomely.

So, a blogger can earn money online by reviewing anything on their blog provided they fulfill certain conditions. For example :-

1. Blog should be known as a niche blog about a certain topic or subject. For example, wirelessduniya.com is a blog about mobile VAS ( value added service), mobile phone and telecom business.

2. Blogger should be kind of authority whose articles are taken seriously by his readers. Also the blogger must have many regular readers. How to get readers and visitors, one should keep visiting this blog ( ) or check SEO category or search SEO techniques in Bing and Google, Yahoo.

3. Blogger should write well in English and his niche blog should be updated regularly. Blog should have many email subscribers.

4. Blogger should be consistence in his articles and blog should be old enough to have developed certain reputation.

If a blog or blogger fulfills those conditions, he may look forward to getting review request by product manufacturer, service provider. For example, a telecom blog should look forward to reviewing services, tariff provided by telecom operators. Telecom operators would be willing to get a review article written and published by the blogger coinciding with launching the service. This is where a blogger can earn handsomely.

Many product manufacturers prefer review by blogger as it seems to be more neutral review about the product. Also search engines crawl blogs much faster. Also an review article will remain forever as long as the blog is alive. And it will always be available in search engines and visitor will keep visiting the article even after 2/3 years.

There are many sites where one can get review article work. But the high paying review article come from product manufacturer or service provider directly. And this is how a blogger earn good amount of money online.

Blogger should follow certain principles while reviewing a product or service. For example :-

1. One should review the product only after using it and understanding it properly. Without knowing much about the product, if a blogger reviews it, his credibility may go down.

2. Blogger should not review any product or services outside of his niche. This will decrease credibility of the blog. One should not get greedy and should not review irrelevant products.

3. If the niche is not on adult topic, one should never review any adult product and services.

4. There should be minimum 10 articles for one review article. One should not write many review articles in a month. I would say one review article a month should good enough.

Finally, writing review article is the smartest way of earning from a blog. In order to get review article work or requests, one must first build a successful blog.

A successful blogger is the one who owns a blog which is famous, has many email subscribers, gets thousands of visitor a day and gets many comments on every post he writes.

And they have worked hard to achieve the above which new blogger fail to notice or love not to notice and gets mighty influenced by those blogger as well as gets inspired. This kind of high expectation from oneself after reading a success story is in every field, not only in blog world. But in blog world, one can even earn money by only blogging about bragging these kind success stories which makes blogging more and more interesting.

There are more than 200 million blogs as of now and many are adding daily with many niches. Not all become successful blogger, but people are not getting deterred. Also, these success stories are luring many people to join the band wagon of blogging to earn online. Though there would be few who do not blog for making money online, but many start joining blogging world only to make money or to bring more visitor a corporate website by conterminously updating their blogs.

A successful blogger does not have to follow many tricks which an unsuccessful blogger has to do in order to bring traffic and then monetize his blog. Many people want to associate themselves with a successful blog ad that is one of the reason why people start commenting as soon as new post is published. They in fact rush in to comment on a new post on a successful blog. So, one may say, best way to get comments on your post is to be a successful blogger.

A successful blogger does not have to worry much about new and quality content as many new or old blogger would rush in to submit their quality article to be published on a successful blog. A successful bloger just has to read those articles, choose one and publish it with his comment. This will attract more and more article submission in return.

Since successful blogger attracts many visitors, so they can get many ad impressions, they can attract advertisers, get order for review posting and they can demand higher prices. Since they have many email subscribers, their new article reaches many people as soon as they are published.

So, earning money from a successful blog is the easiest way of making money in the world. The only difficulty is creating a successful blog.

So, most probably, any new blogger should aim at creating a successful blog first and then think about earning from his blog.

One can make money without going online for their businesses too, no doubt. But making online money is one of the easier options. Many offline businesses go online, mainly to provide information and interactivity to their customer or prospective customers. But many may not realise, while doing so, they can still make more money!
By online, we mean having a website, a blog, a forum, a page in Facebook, account in Twitter or other social media sites.

Here are five reasons why making online money is easier :-

1. Information
Once you are online, information about you, your business, expertise, skills, products, past experiences, etc. for which a customer looks from a seller before he parts with his money, can be made available to customers anytime, and all around the world! You can easily update your information, add new information which will be available instantly to all your customers!
Without going online, it is not only expensive to provide information to customer, but also time consuming. So, going online is a easier way of making money.

2. 24 hours a day operation
Your office opens 8 hours a day, you work 8 hours a day in your office. For 16 hours, you stop your business, thereby stopping making money. You may argue that, even your customers stop buying os spending 16 hours out of 24 hours. Well, you are right, true for customers in your country or time zone. How about the other clients or prospective clients in other countries or other time zones ?
Going online makes your business operational 24 hours a day, reaches globally and serve customers from anywhere in the world, at their working time. Don’t you think, making online money is easier now ?

3. Market your product globally
Once you go online, you start selling your products, services globally. With online payments, credit cards, you get paid instantly for your services, products. So, you get much larger customer base to increase your earning online.
If you were offline, you would be selling your products in your local area only, limiting your customer base as well as earning. So going online increases your earning.

4. Online saves time for by automating mundane tasks
Customer can browse through your product from the comfort of their house. You also give lot of information on your website to your customer which would have taken hell lot of time of yours, otherwise.
So, going online saves your time which you may devote more productively in earning more.

Earning online money require equal hard work as offline business. But success in online business is more assured and it can become completely automated including marketing and promotion. So earning online becomes easier and less hard work after some time.

I have been thinking about making a strategy for this Earning Online blog for quite some time now. After thinking about many permutation and combination, finally I have taken few strategic decisions, how I would try to monetize this blog.

1. Better Blog Title for the blog to go with domain
I will change blog title as well as the tag line of the blog which will be more meaningful with the domain name bloggeradda.com. I think I will use some tag line which will have the word blogger. Something like Blogger Earning Tips, Blogger Make Money Online, Blogger can Earn online. This will help me in targeting certain keywords and will get help from the domain name too. I have realised over the period of time that, keywords in domain name are identified smartly by search engines.

2. Targeting few but highly searched keywords
Well, this will be difficult as many people will be doing the same and I will be one of them. There are sites, people who are already well settled with those keywords and rank on first page of any search engines. But I will also join them. I will be targeting those people who search the same keywords regularly and check next 4/5 pages if some new websites have come up or not. Their number will not be more than 10% of the total volume a month. But I will target keywords with search volume in millions where 10% should be some 30000 a month and I will happy with that number, per keyword.

3. Review of website Template, Wordpress template
I will start reviewing website template, specially WordPress template. I have found out that many bloggers are on constant look out for better Wordpress templates, free or paid. So, if I am successful in bringing in few hundred unique visitors a day, in next six months, I should be able to sell some Wordpress premium templates. This may also increase visitors, though I do not expect many. Many people are developing Wordpress templates daly, so I will have steady supply of WordPress templates to review and sell through their affiliate program.

4. Continue with Google AdSense along with affiliate
Though Google AdSense does not earn me any substantial amount, but it gives a satisfaction of having a Google AdSense account in good health. Google AdSense has become kind of status symbol for a blogger because strict verification for site and content.
I will start ClickBank affiliate and start promoting products, services related to earning online, SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).

5. Start a job board
Finally, if I am successful in increasing blog visitor, I will start a job board. I think job board is a very profitable business if one has a steady visitor to a site. It can earn directly like any job site, niche job site as well as through advertising. But the first and most important condition for starting a job board is to have good unique visitor daily.

I hope I will be able to earn money online with this top 5 earning strategy from blog. I will keep updating about any success or failure of my experiment.
