Since I’ve started blogging, I have seen many young successful blogger teens.

Some are earning $200 and others are exceeding the $500 mark. When you see these successful young bloggers, don’t you want to be in the same position?

My opinion is that, if you start earning money at an early stage of your life, you will be in a very good position to kick start your life as an adult, because you will be earning a income, you will be able to take care of yourself. As teenagers are curious and always learn quicker than adults I think teenagers have a good chance of being successful at a young age.

Think about it guys, wouldn’t you like to earn a nice income at a young age? Imagine how it will make your life easier?

I have compiled a few of my theories on why you should start blogging for bucks at a young age.

1. Personal Spending

Because your earning your own money you can decide for yourself when, where and what your going to spend your money on. No more asking for pocket money, no more borrowing money. You’re earning yourself a nice income and have complete control. You start becoming more independent and most important, you stop bugging your parents for money.

 2. Teenagers Have All the Time in the World

Fine, I’ve maybe over said this, but teenagers do have a lot of free time, besides doing homework and playing video games. We normally go school and come back around 3 or 4 o clock and then we have lots of free time.  Adults go to work at 9 and come back at 5 or 6 in the evening.

Well it says it all adults have difficulty making free time as they come back from work all tired and exhausted… And yes yes I know that we also get tired and bored when we are at school and if your similar to me you probably hate going to school and waking up early in the morning, In fact talking about school makes me tired already, so lets drop this subject. So in the free time why not try blogging for bucks instead of playing games the whole day?

Prioritize your important things.

 3. Be a Proud Teenage Superstar

Ok, before you start asking what I mean with this, let’s just get to the point. If you’re earning good money from blogging I guess you’ll be proud of yourself right? You’ll probably be ecstatic every time you see your pay check. Imagine how proud your parents will feel. Also if your friends and family know this to, they’ll find it very impressive and will respect you as well.

4. You Gain Experience

One thing nobody ever can take away from you is your experience and knowledge. Once you start blogging you can gain experience. You prepare yourself for the real world, especially with this global recession taking place. You gain experience by making mistakes and learning from those mistakes. When you go for a job interview what is the first thing they ask? Yep, you guessed it right, they ask you for your qualification and your experience.  Now I don’t expect you to put business blogging on your CV if your earning around $200 per month, but if your earning a 4 figure income every month it should be worth putting down.

The more experience you have in life the better it will be.

These are the points I consider to be important. There are of course many more reasons, so if you have any, let me know.

So my final advice is that you should start blogging as soon as possible. What do you gain by blogging? Just comment below.

A very interesting question I’ve seen in the last couple of days is if you could still make money in the make money online niche. Many people say no it would be a big mistake to even try it, while other people say yes it is still profitable.

Everybody knows that the make money online niche is a very popular niche. Who doesn’t want to make extra money online? It’s one of the biggest and in demand niches on the web. There are thousands of people daily who enter the make money online niche and eventually fail to succeed.

Although the make money online niche is fairly saturated, I still think there are good opportunities to make money in the make money online niche. Just think about it why would this niche be so crowded? Ah yes, because it’s a profitable niche.

At the moment people who are trying to blog in the make money online niche are quickly realizing that this niche has a massive amount of competition and are scared away because they think it’s impossible to make money in the saturated make money online niche. I personally think the bigger the competition, the more money there is to be made, because there will be a larger audience wanting to look at your site, right? Now just think about this, let’s say you’ve got a blog about make money online and after a lot of hard work your blog has reached the top page in Google search engine, you’ll be getting at least 2000 unique per day or maybe more and if you can convert that traffic into buying products, referrals or clicking on ads than you’ll be making a nice sum of money.

 The other problem I’ve heard from a lot of people is that webmasters with make money online blogs don’t earn a lot of money with pay per click, because most of the people who visit your blog are webmaster themselves. That means your competitors visit your blog and I can guarantee that no way in hell they will click your ads or do something where you will earn some money. I honestly can say that although this is true, if you can rank high in search engines you won’t be having this problem anymore because 80 % of traffic from search engines are always newbie’s and mostly don’t really know much about the make money online niche. It’s most likely they will follow your instructions and do as you say because they think you’re an expert in your niche.

So, before you start thinking that making money in the make money online niche is impossible I would like to tell you to think again, because there are still people entering the make money online niche and becoming a success.

Instead of saying to yourself that you won’t make it in this saturated niche, try to rise up to the challenge and put some hard effort into what you’re trying to achieve. Don’t forget everything involves hard work. Just be patience, keep on working hard and you will see some satisfying results at the end of the day.

I believe the possibilities to success are endless, if developing the right game plan.

So do you think the make money online niche is to saturated to make any money?

2. 6 Ways To Make Money Online

There are many ways to make money online, but if you’re looking for a way to make some quick cash then creating websites for businesses is a good option. Now what I’ll be focusing on in this post are offline businesses as they are much easier to accept your services.

Almost all businesses need websites now days to represent and to help their business grow. If you want to make money online, It’s a big advantage to have a little bit of knowledge on how to code or design websites, because almost everything online involves some  web design, I’m not saying you need to know everything, but having basic skills is a big plus.

Every website gets built using html and css. As I’ve said, I’m not saying you need to be genies or be some super talented web designer, but I’m just saying you need a basis foundation on how to create some basic websites. Having the skill or ability to create basic websites will save you a lot of time and money as you don’t have to outsource your whole project. Now let’s get back to the point, shall we?

So what’s the secret?

Ok, so what you’ll be doing is,  you’ll be offering your website creation services to some businesses that don’t have a website yet and I don’t mean targeting big businesses, I’m actually talking about the start up businesses or small businesses.  You’ll be offering them a proposition that they can’t resist. Tell them the benefits of having a website, tell them that their competition all got websites, tell them everything that will make them say yes. Sounds pretty overwhelming right?

Offer them that you’ll create a whole 5 a 10 page website for only $500 and that you’ll include extra services like link building, search engine optimization, fresh content, updates, hosting and even creating a business card for a little price of $100 per month. That means not only do you make $500 for creating a website, you’ll also get a recurring $100 each and every month. 

You need to make it look like you know what you’re doing and are offering the best deal with extra features included, trust me most people are likely to accept because they know if they approach a web design company to create a website for them they’ll be paying around the $2000 or even more with additional costs.

The best way to start off is by asking close relatives or family to create websites for them. Two months ago I asked my uncle to create a little 5 page website and offered him a discount of 50% as well, so he paid me $250 and I completed his website in 2 weeks time. The good thing is that because he was my uncle he gave me a extra $100, so I made $350 in two weeks time, pretty good ,huh?

Now if you don’t want to take the time to learn web design you can always outsource your project. You can easily get people to create websites for you on popular forums at a cheap price of $100-$200. So you’ll still make a nice $200 or $300 profit.

If your business is going well and you are getting loads of clients, then it’s time to expand your business.

By now, you must be asking how to do that?

Well it’s pretty simple, when you get over flooded with clients you need to find partners or raise your price. Just think about this if you work alone and create 5 websites a month for $400, you’ll probably make around $2000, but if you’ll work with a partner you’ll maybe finish sites quicker so you have time for extra work and this means more money, so you need to see what suits you best.

 Have you ever done this? What are your experiences?

1. 6 Ways To Make Money Online

Everybody wants to make money online, in fact that’s every one’s dream right?
The problem is that everyone is saying they want to make money online, but they don’t take the first step to start the journey to make money online. If you really want to make money online the best way to start off is by creating your own website or blog.

I have seen dozens of people on forums like Digitalpoint, who are receiving a steady amount of traffic, but are complaining that they don’t make a lot of money and that their Adsense clicks are very low ($0,05).

 Well, if that’s the case then I think it’s pretty logical why you aren’t earning good money, you haven’t chosen a profitable niche to blog about. I know there can be many reasons you are getting low paying ads, but I’d like to focus on profitable niches aspect today.

Make money online, gambling, poker, weight loss, lawyers, credit cards, insurance these niches are just some of the many niches that are profitable and pay good money per click with Adsense. On the other hand niches like, flash games, movies, jokes and entertainment are on the low paying side. People say you should blog about something you’re passionate about and although I kind of agree with this I also think it should be combined with something that has the potential to be successful.

It is always a kind of mystery when starting a blog, because you never know if the ads will be making you good money. That’s why I personally always prepare myself and already have a particular niche in mind when starting a blog. It should be profitable, it should be expandable, have the ability and potential to succeed and of course enjoyable.

To be helpful, I’m going to provide you with some free helpful resources that I have used to find popular and profitable niches to help us make more money online. These resources have helped me and hopefully will help you as well.

1. Google Trends

Yep, the mighty google trends, this should actually be the first place to look for hot topics of the day. The list of hot topics can change every minute so there will always be a lot of variation of niches available to explore.

2. Yahoo Buzz

Yahoo gives a accurate list of top 10 searches that are made every hour. Quite useful as well

3. Ebay

 EBay also has a section where it displays the top 10 searches made in a category. This way you can also determine what popular terms are in particular niches. As example the iphone is a popular sub niche in the niche mobiles. So you know that iPhone are a competitive, but profitable niche.

4.Keyword Tools

 Keyword tools are a must have tool if you really want to be a expert and know what people are really searching for in search engines.  You can find long tail keywords that are quite popular, but have low competitors. If researched well you can really crack the bottle and find some very profitable niches.

Using keyword tools will allow you to see some absolute vital information.

• Number of searches made for keywords
• How many websites are competing for the same keyword
• More related search terms and keywords

Some keywords you could try:

• Word tracker keyword suggestion tool
• Seobook keyword tool
• Google AdWords keyword tool

5. Google search engine

Of course, how could we forget the best resource of information available on the net. If you type your keywords on google you will get tons of information. You can see on the top right hand side how many people are competing for that keyword. So if you see 20 million results it’s pretty obvious that’s it’s a popular niche. But if it has under the 20.000 results it is an unknown and not really popular. 

How do you find hot sizzling niche ideas?

Have you ever bought those make money online ebooks? I sure have.

There are thousands of these make money online ebooks being sold every day. The reasons for these sales are because ebooks are easy to read and are fast sellers. People often want direct information and prefer to buy an ebook online instead of ordering a book that takes 1 week delivery time.

People are often looking for a quick solution to their problem, so rather than researching something that will maybe take a few hours, why not buy a quality ebook that gives better information and is quicker? People are pretty lazy these days (including myself lol) and are looking for the easiest options, but the main question is are these ebooks really helping people progress or are they all scam?

Some ebooks turn up to have some rich content that’s actually useful to you and some ebooks are just absolute rubbish where I then think to myself even a 5 year old can do better. Even though most ebooks are crappy, marketers always eventually sell their ebooks, because they know there will always be ”noobs” that buy ebooks thinking that ebooks will reveal magical secrets on how to make money online, but as you and I know that obviously is too good to be true.

Why would rich entrepreneurs or marketers tell you their secret on how to make $100 a day? Well uhmm, they wouldn’t, because there will be more competitors and the secret will soon be saturated. Instead they will create a product where they promise that you will be earning $1000 per day after reading the ebook(yehe right and money falls out the sky), but the real reason they create a ebook is because (yep you guessed it right) they want to make extra or even more money.

Think of it this way guys, let’s say you’ve worked your butt off and that hard work has finally paid off. You’ve found a new secret way to earn money and finally starting hitting the $500 a day mark. Would you give your secret away to other people? I don’t think so. Maybe for a massive price tag, but for free no way(unless your a very very very nice person).

Most sellers are very effective in selling ebooks because those ebook are selling a dream which you can turn into reality. Of course, who doesn’t want to make a living online? But you need to know something about the person selling the ebook. Is he already making money online? Does he get good reviews? What is is past experience?

You see it makes life much easier if you know the buyer. As a example everyone knows Pro Blogger or John Chow. We all know they are well known in the blog sphere. So we would defiantly buy their ebook than some other random person, wouldn’t you?

Now don’t get me wrong guys, I absolute have nothing against ebooks,  in fact I have and sometimes still buy ebooks to spark some ideas and to try to learn valuable stuff. I also buy ebooks to extend my knowledge about a particular topic, but handle with care don’t expect make money online ebooks to make you rich overnight. It takes time and you need to take action and follow the steps in the ebook.

As said before I have nothing against ebooks, I’m just trying to say that you should be a bit cautious in buying ebooks. Now the main question when buying a ebook is, whether its going to be just another ebook  like all the other thousand or is it actually going to be a winner? Well, my friends, that is something for you to find out.

So what do you think? Is it just a hype or something worth buying?

Even though this has been all around the Internet and well known, I still thought it would be interesting to blog about this.

Chloe Spencer a young 16 year old teen blogger is reported to be making an average of between $700 and $900 per month. The young teen started her blog Neopetsfanatic.com in February 2006 just as a hobby and worked around 5 hours a week on her site. After starting with a free hosted domain with word press she decided to move her blog to an own hosted domain so she could gain full control over her blog.

With her dad being a Internet marketer and helping her out, she soon discovered that she could be making some extra bucks by putting the mighty Google Adsense ads on her blog, eventually after a few weeks of search engine optimization, she managed to get her blog to rank at the top of google with the keywords ´Neopets´ and ´Neopet Cheats´.

Chloe Spencer used tools such as Google suggest and Wordtracker to find out which terms relating to Neopets were most searched for and most popular. After getting some good traffic to her blog, she managed to get a high click through rate to her Adsense ads and was reportedly making between $0.50 and $2 per click. It is also said that she made around $30 per day. Her traffic was also steady, as she got around 9000 page views per day. With Chloe Spencer earning enough money to buy whatever she wanted to, she went ahead and bought personal stuff including a brand new car, a dream we us bloggers would love to experience.

At that time the neopets niche was a high paying keyword and she fully took advantage from converting a hobby to a passionate part-time job making $900 a month and working just a few hours a week. Even though she was underage to earn from Adsense, She sure did a good job not getting caught by Google.

What I’m looking forward to know, is that if she is still making good money from her website, even though she hasn’t updated her blog since august 2008?

Since she has become so popular, she was invited to a blogher conference in Chicago where she got the chance to tell everyone her story? And guess what below is the actual video about about the conference.

So what´s your opinion?

Is Adsense being a bad boy?Is Adsense only showing low paying ads?Has Adsense ruined your day?Are you always getting low paying clicks?

Adsense can sometimes be your best friend for showing high paying ads. On the other side Adsense can be a real pain in the ass for earning low revenue per click

You can never be sure with Adsense, sometimes it will convert clicks into good money, while sometimes it just shows the revenue per click so low, that you start thinking if Adsense isn’t playing some joke on you.

Adsense isn’t doing this for no reason.

Adsense considers many factors on showing high paying and low paying clicks.

1. Have a Adsense friendly site

Your design always plays a big part on how Adsensewill show their ads on your blog. If you have a clean and organized design with fresh and unique content then you will have a greater chance of getting high paying ads on your blog.

Having a unique design will also have a better chance give a better chance of showing high paying ads, because if you have a non unique theme that loads of other webmasters and bloggers use as well, the search engines will then under value your blog and will not consider it a quality site. If that happens then your blog will only show low paying ads.

2.Have a niche website

Make sure you target a certain niche and only write about that niche. Once you start writing about random things your ads will also start showing weird and low paying ads, because Adsense isn’t sure which ads to display on your blog.

So let’s say you have a website about ‘weight loss’.  Make sure you only write topics related to weight loss and not about some random topic like ‘dog training’. I know this example was a bit extreme, but at least you understand the point.

3.Relevant post titles and headings

The title of your post is even more important then the actual content on the site. As post titles tell you what the content is about and have a bigger font, it indicates to Google that the post title is also important.

4.Keywords

Having the right keywords in your content will make it easier for spiders to crawl your content and show higher paying ads. Just make sure you don’t keyword stuff your site as Google will penalize you.

3 to 6 percent is the best keyword density for your content.  So if you have a article of 500 words and choose to use 3 percent, that will be 15 keywords in the article.

5.Adsblacklist

Adsblacklist is a program that will exclude all low paying Adsense sites. All you have to do is add some keywords related to your blog and the program will list 200 low paying sites. It’s up to you which sites to exclude from your blog. After getting this list just copy and paste it into your competitive ad filter in your Google Adsense account.

How do you make high paying ads show up?

So you want to make money online? Do you want to quit your 9 to 5 job?

I’m not sure about your, but I know I would love to make mone online. Many people on the Internet are looking for ways to make money online. The idea of making money online attracts many people, because most people think making money online is a easy task, but as you know it is not a easy task, infact it takes time, effort and dedication to succeed online. You will need to work atleast a few hours a day if you want to succeed and make money online.

Why have a job flipping burgers or working in a super market for a crappy $6 or $7 a hour, when you can be working online and earning double or triple the amount in less time?

Even if your not planning to work full time online, but still want to earn a bit of income from the internet, there are many different sources of opportunities which can help you make money online.

1. Offer your services at an online marketplace or freelance site

If you have any particular service to offer to people, just post on the website offering your services and there will always be people interested and willing to hire you to do the job.  Make sure you look professional and always clearly state which services you are offering.

Here are some freelance/marketplace sites:  Getafreelancer, Elance, Rentacoder, Designoutpost, Odesk, Ifreelance

Services you could offer: web design, web development, search engine optimization, article writing, directory submission, social bookmarking submission, forum posting, consulting, writing comments on blogs.

2. Sell photos on stock photo sites

Thousands of people buy or download stock photos for their blog or website. Many websites also pay you money if you sell your own unique photos to them. You get paid based on how many people download or buy your photos.

So lets say you sell your photo to a stock photo website and every time the photo get’s download you get paid $0,05. That means if the site get’s 10.000 uniqes a day and 100 people download your photo you earn $5 a day.

If your interested in this try: Dreamstime, Shutterstock, Istockphoto, Fotolia

3. Start a website or blog

One of the most common ways to make money online is to start a blog or website. You can earn money by displaying ads, advertisements, affiliate links, writing get paid to post posts or by selling ad space. Don’t forget it takes time to develop and establish a website. After getting some traffic you will start to earn some income.

4. Start a online business

Starting your own comany can also make you tons of money. By selling products or offering your services on ebay or your own website will give you a better chance to succeed.

5. Domain flipping business

This is a profitable business where you buy, develop and then sell a domain for a big profit. This is a simillar business to real estate flipping, but then developing websites instead of houses.

Some people make a tidy sum of money by developing Wordpress blogs and keeping it for 1 month and then selling it for $500 or more. The most common place to sell your websites are Sitepoint and Digitalpoint.

6. Create your own product

Creating your own product and selling it is also a great way to make money online. The most popular products online are Ebooks.

So lets say a internet marketer researches and finds out that weight loss is a demanding niche online. What he will do is create his own ebook about how to lose weight and promote his ebook like crazy. So lets say the internet marketer has decided to sell his ebook for $2o, if he sells 5 a day he will make $100, not so bad is it?
