So you wanna run your own business and make lots of money? Are you ready to put the work in to get it to that several figure income? Of course you are but why aren’t you making money right now off all the hard work your doing? Simple, your implementation techniques are probably off kilter a little bit.

When it comes to making money off products you first of all need to KNOW YOUR PRODUCT, if you don’t know your product inside and out customers are going to see through your empty shell and most likely they won’t waste the time of day purchasing your product.

To know your product you should know how and why it works, how to repair or make things right with dissatisfied customers (yes there will be some) and thirdly you should always have respect for customers whether they are nice to you or not.

I can’t tell you how many people to this day still come asking me questions about my 3d training material even though the business has been shut down for over a year now. (What does that say about customer service?)…

Now I know you all are saying yah, yah we have heard this all before. But guess what, I am going to keep preaching it till you get it, its not really something I can just explain but if you hear it enough eventually you will catch on to how important this is. I can preach till I’m blue in the face (and I will) but you have to make the decision to change your ways to become successful!

I know this post is sort of short but in it I gave you multiple tips to grow your business easily! That’s right, all you have to do is KNOW YOUR PRODUCT and BE NICE TO CUSTOMERS. Once you have mastered those two vital steps you will make money online. Plain And Simple Isn’t It?

This week I have been carefully relearning all the scripting languages I know. I started with xhtml/css and I was so surprised about how much I had forgotten and how some of it had changed, everything improves and changes even when we think we have mastered it. This started me thinking, “How can I use this in blogging?”, then it hit me!

The Audience

Yes, you! Many bloggers find a style and subject that suits them and always uses it. This is good, but the readers will soon get bored. So even if a blog has thousands of readers, it may be a good idea to every so often have a change of style so that the audience does not stop reading the blog as much. A lot of people blog about areas that they know about, but if they do not always keep up to date with it they may run out of information to talk about, or maybe post about things that are very out of date.
So ways to improve what you post would include:

• Know the most up to date information about what you are talking about, or it may not be very useful.
• Compare new advancements with ones posted about in previous posts.
• Ask the readers how you could improve

They are just a few examples, though I am sure you could think of hundreds of other ideas.

Design

An amazing way to improve the readers attention and introduce new members is to, as Darren Rowse has proven in the last year with ProBlogger.net, redesign the blog. This does not need to be very often, but with advancements in scripting and new “design fashions”, it is a good idea to produce a new amazing blog design. This is a good thing to do even if you already have a massive audience and an amazing design.

In the up and coming weeks I shall be writing a very long post, or maybe a series, about Blog Design so I shall not go into any more detail right now.

I hope you found this useful,

I know you all want to make some money quick with your blogs and I have always preached against quick money making techniques however today I am going to point out 4 things you can do to your blog to generate some quick revenue if your in a jamb for cash!

Adsense

The first way I would recommended to make some quick revenue is install adsense on your blog. Read some of our past and future posts on proper adsense placements to maximize your CTR%. But be warned that adsense only pays out once a month.

Kontera

One of my new favorite ways to bring in income on a blog is by using kontera, because its intext advertising the CTR% seems to be pretty high most of the time. My only concern is that on forums it messes up the site and some pages can’t load, however I have not seen any problems on a blog thus far and I believe its a good way to earn some income quick!

Once again though they only pay out once per month!

Banners

I have said it before, and I will say it again! Banners are the best way to make money with a blog. You could also call it private ad sales but I prefer to say banners as selling text links is a big no no!

I suggest you put 6 to 8 125×125 spots up for grabs on the sidebar of your blog, I also suggest one 768X90 and a 468×60 banner somewhere on your blog. You never know what size ads a advertiser will want and you can always fill those spots with affiliate ads until you actually sell a spot!

List Ad Sales

Lastly to make money quick with a blog I would go to sites like BzImage, DigitalPoint and SitePoint. List your advertisement slots on these boards and a few people will contact you about buying the spots. SitePoint is probablly your bigger money market and DP is for those cheap ads usually under $25.
