There are many great plugin’s for Wordpress that make the process of adding Google Adsense ads to y our blog a simple and easy routine.   One such plugin is called Adsense Manager, which supports a number of different affliate programs in addition to Adsense.  For example it also supports Adbrite, AdGridWork, Adpinion, Adroll, Commission Junction, CrispAds, ShoppingAds, Yahoo!PN and WidgetBucks. 

I write a number of different blogs and enjoy financial success on each of them.  I’m not getting rich on the earnings because I don’t create enough content and its hard for me to keep focused on one subject every day.  But if you’re the type of person that can find a niche you’re crazy about and can dedicate 2 or 3 hours a day to every day, I can see from my own success that one could easily make a few thousand dollars per month just off the clickthrough ads on one highly popular blog. 

I often tell people that the more interesting your articles are, the lower the clickthrough rate.  When I first started creating content sites on a mass scale my content was quite boring and my clickthrough rates ran in the high teens to lower 20%.   People often don’t believe this, but there were many factors that contributed to this, including ad placement.  However, with traditional blogs like Esalesman.com that focus on real quality content, clickthrough rates hover between 1.75% and 2.0% each month. 

Do the math, with clickthrough rates running this low on quality content, one would need to write several articles a day of regular content to make several hundred to low 4-figure income monthly.  But it takes patience because it takes a while to build up enough content to get the traffic you need to push your income level into this range.  Nonetheless, which you compare blogging as a means of making money versus physical labor, its not a bad way to turn spare time into residual cash. 

I have one blog that i only write 2 or 3 articles  per month to that pays $24 to $30 per month in Adsense income along.   I ask myself all the time why I simply don’t publish to this blog  more often.   The answer is simply a lack of time and lack of focus and dedication to one common subject and niche.  But if you’re the type of person that can remain dedicated to one single cause year after year, you should have no problem turning your blog into clickthrough cash.

I don’t want to leave the impression that I lack focus on all blogs I manage.  For, I do have blogs I write to weekly covering subjects I have more time to manage without having to spend much time on research.   I know from the traffic I get from these blogs that each blog would translate to about $50 per month in Adsense income if I were to run Adsense ads on them and continue publishing about 2 articles per week to each of them. 

I earn more using these blogs to attract leads to my network marketing business, thus it doesn’t make sense to make such a switch.  But for the person that simply wants to earn Adsense income from blogging only, my recommendation is to pick a subject you can safely write 2 or more articles per day about, every day, and you should be able to turn your blog into a cash machine that brings in $5,000 to $25,000 per year. 

Although this may sound simple, the truth is there are very few people in the world that can remain this dedicated to a given financial cause.   If you can remain self-motivated, patient and persistent, it’s possible to turn your love writing into a six-figure income through blogging.  But to achieve this you have to not only write for volume, but write about very popular subjects that have high ad revenue payouts. 

There’s lots of competition in the more lucrative blogging markets, thus to rise above the competition you have to write more content, better content and have good ad placement.  It takes a lot of trail and error to achieve the business savvy and writing acumen to achieve six-figure results, however.

I hate to use the term “BS” but it’s the sad truth.  There are scores of amateur Internet millionaire wannabe’s that feel the need to lie and claim they’ve made fortunes online and are willing to teach you their same blueprint that it’s not funny. 

Don’t misread this statement as “woe is me” rhetoric from someone who’s been stung on an Internet scam, because that’s not where I’m going with this article.  It’s just a simple fact.  99.999% of the time if it sounds too good to be truth, then it generally is — just like your Mama and Daddy told you so. 

I’ve been down the successful road of Internet marketing and I’ve experienced my share of heartache and pain.  But one thing I can say, I’ve never been surprised to date.  Not everyone can say that.  What I mean is that the things I’ve tried that I thought would work did work, and the things I tried that I was skeptical about and felt wouldn’t work, didn’t work.

Several things still ring true today the same way they did 2, 3 or 4 years ago.  That’s a long time in Internet years, which move at light speed.  SEO-conscious word crafting that use keyword search phrases in titles, headlines, file names and text anchors will still get you ranked high on Google.  Not that alone, but crafting your webpages with those basic rules in mind and using a domain name with your main theme or subject in the domain name will carry you up the Google SERP’s quite nicely.  In other words, you’re start getting some nice traffic.

Building your website using good blogging software like Wordpress will also give your site a nice lift because all the major search engines love blogs and the regular pinging of major blog directories (by your blog software) each time you post an article will soon having the search engines coming to your door.

From that point on, its simply a matter of writing content regularly.  Granted, that’s not something I’ve been able to do much of lately at this site, but I run many sites and am writing for one or another every day of the week most of the time.  In doing so, I’ve come to appreciate the success that blogs have played in my overall “blogging for riches” business model.  For, through blogging I’ve been very successful at gaining new leads and prospects for other Internet-related enterprises I own, sell products and services and develop a large and growing customer base, not to mention a large mailing list.

Those last 2 words (i.e., mailing list) are the two most important words in this article.  For the gold is in the mailing list.  Build a list, and market to the list.  That’s as true today as it was when Internet marketing first became reality around 1994. 

If you learn one thing from this article, learn that blogging about your favorite market niche on a regular basis will not only win you traffic, but will win you a multitude of leads, many of which will eventually buy your products or services.

Watkins was founded in 1868 and has been a household word for years. Although the Watkins company marketed its products for over 100 years using the door-to-door direct sales business model, these days the company sells products using the network marketing business model which pays Watkins associates handsomely with one of the most outstanding residual income plans int he network marketing business. Most importantly for online marketers, Watkins products are now sold via multiple methods, including (of course) online. You can view a sample Watkins products sales site by clicking here.

I have discovered that one can build a highly successful work from home Watkins business using the Internet to both sell Watkins products and recruit new Watkins associates.. An excellent way to market both the products you sell for Watkins and recruit new members for your Watkins downline sales organization is create standalone marketing websites and blogs to direct traffic to both your Watkins products sales site and your Watkins associate recruiting websites.

If you join Watkins through the Summit Group of Watkins associates you will receive free access to a Watkins associate training website and resource center, plus a free Watkins associate recruiting website.

Oridinary people like you and I are indeed making money writing blogs, but like with any method of making money online, the revenues one can achieve by blogging covers a wide range and many variables determine the level of income one can make.

First, let’s talk about the revenue sources for making money on blogs. The obvious means of making money on blogs is running Google adsense ads, displaying affiliate program banners and pitching deals to your readership. By pitching deals to your readership, I’m talking about blog articles that promote a product, then send the reader through an affiliate income link to the product manufacturer or creator’s website. Then, if the reader ends up ordering the product, you earn a commission.

The most money you’ll ever make in online marketing is in your “list.” Yes, I’m speaking about your mailing list. To build a list that people will want to subscribe to, you’ll need to be offer an ezine with an ezine signup page on every page of your blog. If people come to know you as an expert in your field through your blog and you offer great advice, comments, good deals, etc. through your ezine, then chances are you can build a great mailing list. The longer your in business, the bigger your list should become.

Make your newsletter short and sweet, something people can read quickly, within 5 minutes. Send it weekly. Only promote products that will earn you revenue in 1 out of 4 newsletters. Only promote products you know to work and have tried yourself. You never want to jeopardize losing your list by recommending a product that doesn’t do what the creator claims.

A day will come when your list will be so big that the income derived from your list promotions will be your greatest source of income. In the beginning your income will start slowly from blogging, so this will have to be a second income source for you.

If you try to operate solely on Google Adsense revenue you will never get rich until you’ve written thousands of unique content pages. If people love reading your blog, they’ve come to read your blog, not click on your Google ads. Thus, your clickthrough rate will likely average less than 1.5 to 2.0%. Do the math based on that clickthrough rate. It takes traffic and lots of it to make several hundred dollars per month of Google Adsense revenue from a single blog. Chances are very high that you’ll burn out on writing before you ever get enough pages and traffic to justify blogging for income.

I’ve tried to tackle a very big subject here that has lots of angles and lots of ways of making money. Blogging for riches is not as easy as some may make it sound. But if you use your brain and give it more thought, there are ways to take a simple blog like this and turn it into a real life-long moneymaker, even if you don’t write ads. I’ll try to cover how to do this in my next blog post.

Women, and men, from all walks of life are finding that the Watkins of today is not your MaMa’s Watkins.  Although the company still stands for “timeless integrity,” its line of products has kept up with the times, adding “green” cleaning products, nutritional supplements, shea butter lotions, sauces, dip ingredients, soups and much more to Watkins powerful lineup of  350 total products in all. 

Many moms and dads cite the desire to be home for their children when they come home, the decision to home school their children, desire to escape the corporate rat race and tired of working for “Big Brother” as their reason for starting their own independent Watkins associate businesses.  Regardless the reason, thousands of moms and dads are starting parttime Watkins businesses and seeing them quickly grow to fulltime jobs in just 2 to 5 years. 

Watkins has a lot to bring to the table other than just a great product line.  The company has stellar ownership and management, a fantastic compensation plan that builds residual commissions quickly, products that consumers need, use and re-order regularly, a fantastic reputation, name recognition and new sales models like Good Tastings parties, festival and trade show events, online e-commerce sales, fundraiser sales and much more.

With 350 different products produced in the Watkins products line, ranging from home cleaning products, health and wellness products, first aid products, kitchen spices, flavorings, extracts and seasonings to ole time Watkins favorites like Watkins liniment, Watkins Petro Carbo Salve and Watkins vanilla, today’s Watkins business owner truly has something to offer everyone.

The list of successful Watkins products associates covers a wide array of personalities and backgrounds, ranging from stay-at-home moms to ranchers, lawyers, engineers, computer technicians, doctors, business consultants, Fortune 500 corporate executives and more.

Too often I come across people who think of the Watkins business opportunity as the business of a products peddler.  This couldn’t be farther from the truth.  Some of our most successful Watkins business owners are people who once made six-figure incomes as corporate executives.  So why would a corporate executive choose Watkins?  The answers are many, but include: desire to escape fro the corporate rat race, job burnout, desire to spend more time with their families, the need to have flexible schedules without deadlines, desire to own and build their own business organization.

Take for example Watkins Gold Manager David Daisey, my own sponsor in Watkins.  David, like myself, was owner of a business consulting firm for many years.  He was sponsored by a client, who was a senior executive in a Fortune 500 company.  His client revealed to him that he was making as much money with a parttime Watins business as he was in the corporate world.  That caught Dave’s attention and the rest has been history.  In the past 4 years he has quickly risen through the ranks of Watkins and now has over 300 Watkins associates in his own Watkins organization.

The thing that attracted me to selling Watkins products is that for a very small fee I could essentially own a franchise with a company that had a 140-year old reputation selling Watkins products I was already acquainted with, knew and used, and that like any business, once I build it Watkins will allow me to sell it to someone else or transfer the ownership to my family members when I’m too old to run it. 

Many people are not aware that selling Watkins products is really no different than owning a franchise with a company like GNC, Merle Norman, Gamestop, etc.  It just that you need to pay tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars to launch those types of businesses.  For as little as $39.95 you can begin your Watkins business today.  If you’re a corporate executive looking for a business opportunity you can retire into, or desire you’re own business and don’t want to invest all of your life savings into it, I recommend you strongly consider keeping your money in the bank and devote the same number of hours you would to that franchise business into your own Watkins business.  In 3 to 5 years you could be making $100,000 to $400,000 per year by building your own Watkins products business.
