[Tutorial] How to make $1000/month with blogs... - Page 2

born2blog · 01-09-2008, 03:14 AM

Great tutorial rvince!! I agree with all of it except blogs on freehosts can still be good if used as feeder traffic and if you only build them in your spare time.

Sorry; next time I'll spread my tutorial into 254 one-line posts.

Or the kind of blog I described 95% of the traffic is coming from search engines. In my experience between 1 post every other day and 1 post per week is the "optimum". More posts won't get you more traffic in a significant way.

Because you don't want to lose your surfers on a TGP that offers much more free material in a more convenient way. If you want to trade with TGPs, do an a-b-c link trade using another of your sites and get a link FROM a TGP, but not to it.

In your opinion why would making one post per day be bad?

- Accounting for content downloading, novelties research on the tours, post writing, etc... I think a well-trained webmaster shouldn't take more than 1h per post on average. (ie: 1 day/week is enough to keep 4 blogs updated with 2 posts/week)

- Making one post per day ISN'T bad. It's just sub-optimal. You'll get much more traffic on 2 blogs updated every other day than on 1 blog updated daily. That being said, when I start a blog, I indeed often post every day to build it up before I start looking for trades, etc...

I'd definately suggest to make each blog on its own domain: not so expensive, better SE results, plus that allows you to sell your blog easily if you ever want to.
If you're doing that full-time you can make as many blogs as you can maintain.
If I were doing full-time into blogs I think my limit would be about 30-40. At the moment, I actually only have 10 since my affiliate program is taking a lot of my time.

95% SE (both text and image search), 5% trades+bookmarkers.

yeah, free-hosted sites are nice as a hobby in your spare time; but my tutorial was about developping a good money-making business :-)
With a free-hosted site, what happens if/when:
- the free hosting/service goes belly up/forgets to renew its domain?
- you want to sell your site?
- the "free" hosting service decides to add banners/pop-ups everywhere on your sites?

Also, you'll find out that many webmasters (myself included) are now VERY reluctant to trade links with free-hosted sites. Make yourself a favour and shell out $50/month for a dedicated server. Only the extra SE traffic you'll get from the extra link trades will pay for it.

More importantly: If you decide to follow my tutorial (or already have similar sites), please PM me for link trades if you have sites in the following niches: big tits, shemales, femdom, bbw, mature. :-)

Rvince, thanks alot for the tutorial.

About the freehosting part, apart from the AFF links its not bad to use thumblogger or Twans products to increase your IP-range and use them to feed your current network.

Anyways, I know this is alwmost a copy from CuriousToyBoy's how to make $1000/mo in your spare time tutorial and thank you very much for that. Im sure this will help alot of people including myself

I have a question though. Are you, or would you hide your affiliate codes? I mean, if a surfer sees a CCbill or a NATS link with a code in it he or she might not click the link.

Yes, but not as your main sites! Then again it's just my opinions and I know people doing great with only freehosted sites.

I don't hide them. I even joke about them and make them look good for the surfers.
"Hey, last month the commissions I got from this site nearly paid for my hosting bill, let's see if I can make that happen this month too if I make a couple posts with movie clips instead of pictures".

Good idea and I was thinking about doing the same and now im definitely gonna do the same haha!

Do you think its worth to make an "advertisements" section where you promote a product (like fleshlight), sex guide, poker or even porn DVD's?

I have one blog where I created a category like that but I didnt post anything in it yet... Im wondering how you and other people are looking at doing this!

I have a few mainstream blogs where I started this a few months ago (using adsense/amazon), and it SEEMS to work too, but I don't have enough blogs/posts/traffic/earnings to guarantee it's working as well.

I'd say yes, as long as you stay in your niche. But to be honest the only thing I tried to sell besides paysite memberships is webcam sites...

Thanks for the reply. I know that cams, dating, DVD's (VOD) and even sextoys can be niched but fleshlight, PE, sex guides and poker are kinda general and can be included in any niche..

What do you think?

daedal · 01-09-2008, 06:11 AM

Great Tutorial, gives me a few more ideas. And the handwritten approach seems to be the way to go.

apcwebmaster · 01-09-2008, 06:36 AM

handwritten is the way to go, thanks for the tut rvince!

Venril Sathir · 01-09-2008, 08:20 AM

Hey I have shemale and femdom blogs, PM me what you have or check linktrades in my sig

As for freehosts, I agree. The only exception could be Thumblogger, because it's there for very long time (compared to most other freehosts), offers lots of nice tools for free and has the least advertising.

Even then your own hosting and domains is the ONLY way to go, freehosts are good for newbie testing grounds or for small feeder blogs/splogs, but it's silly not to work on your own domains instead.

you are not using any other method of link building other than link exchange? 3 backlinks in one weeks results in 156 links in a year. not that all wil count or show as backlinks, but you think thats enough for SEO? or you are counting on the traffic that you will get from the link exchange? sorry, just trying to understand the full techniq

You have to understand that linkbuilding isnt what Rvince is focussing on.

SolidInc · 01-09-2008, 09:37 AM

It is very important to see the big picture folks. 1000$/Month is an OK start and may be a good income to some people but I am more interested in 1000$/week minimum.
There are tons of great points in this tutorial, thanks rvince, but make sure you follow it with the intention of growing and expanding your business.

As I said one post above, all this shouldn't take you over 1 day per week.
Now decide how many days you want to work in a week and do the math :-)
(also try to keep at the very least 1/2 day per week to try new things)

Just because your shemale site has tons of backlinks doesn't mean you'll get the #1 spot on Google for "Shemale"...
My biggest blog has been around for ~18 months and it probably only has between 40 and 50 backlinks. Yet it's receiving over 8k unique visitors per day and I'm now making about $1k/mo with this blog alone.

Many backlinks is good, but backlinks aren't everything. Just add a few good ones on a regular basis and continue to post.

I'm obviously not a Google insider (although I did work for a company what developped and operated a SE a few years ago

), but I wouldn't be surprised if a red light starts blinking at Google when it spots a blog which has 2 times more backlinks than it has posts.

edhel2005 · 01-09-2008, 01:13 PM

thanx for the tutorial, 3-4 blogs isn't a lot either, i'd be happy with even 500$ from them so i'm gonna try this out soon, i guess the hardest part is choosing the sponsors, niche and domain names

dirtwars · 01-09-2008, 01:24 PM

A bump about what is written about backlinks. I've got blogs with 1/10 - 1/20 the amount of backlinks (and I don't mean links to the entire link domain, I'm mean to the actual index page) of other sites and landing on top. Sometimes I see a keyword string with 4,000 backlinks and think how am I going to top that, but I see sites with 150 backlinks taking a higher ranking.

Rvince,
thanks for the advice on keeping posts to backlinks in a fair ratio, it never crossed my mind.

The best SE advice I ever received in 4 mos. was to just create a good quality blog and google will reward you. . . nothing has been more true. This is exactly what I am reading in Rvince's suggestions. Build a good quality blog.

The idea is that there is a reason google is the #1 search engine, because its algorithm best matches what the surfer is looking for. Its only a matter a time before splogs are blown out of the water compared to solid build blogs, otherwise the SE is not doing its job and will be unapologetically removed from the cyberpool. I highly doubt that.
