Our new link campaign service: Web 2.0

In stead of simply adding your link in our directory, we ask you to leave a comment stating:

• Your URL and short description of your site
   
• What kind of sites you want to link to
   
• What kind of sites you want to receive links from.

We will look in our extended database of quality websites for a match and contact when a match is found.

Our latest member to Add your Link shows that content is king when it comes to attracting visitors.

Wellsy’s World is only 4 months old and just had his 10.000 visitor. Not bad for a new blog, is it?

So I can hear you say: yeah right, if content is king, then what about SEO, tags, Twitters and anything else you can learn from ebooks like Atomic Blogging?

Well the logic goes as follows:

• Atomic Blogging without decent content is like a Ferrari without fuel
   
• decent content with Atomic Blogging is like a Ferrari with rocket fuel

Whatever you do or buy, it all boils down to making sure you have decent content on your blog.

It helps when you are blogging:

• each and every day
   
• about the latest news or
   
• about anything that can’t be found better explained anywhere else

The latter is where your expertise and target audience becomes important: you will attract those visitors that understand and need what you are saying.

For instance: there are 1001 sites that explain about SEO, but

• do you talk about some basic SEO to get your content ranked
   
• or do you talk about the latest tips and tricks that will work today and get outdated next month

Both are equally interesting, but wil attract a complete different kind of visitors. So you need to be or:

• consistent, so you keep your visitors from coming back or
   
• complete but stating up front:
   
• this post is for this kind of reader
   
• that post is for that kind of reader.

Again, content is king, but you need to make sure for yourself who you want or can be the king of. Meaning: don’t try to attract "everybody" but attract those who are eager to get your part of the story.

But how does that work?

If the concept is still not too clear for you, then switch on your TV and zap from one channel to the other. TV typically has target audiences.

Zap to the channel:

• you have expertise in and
   
• you feel like you would be the one making the stories.

Got your channel? Now do the same but with your blog and blog content

Stef agreed to start a new blog explaining how to make money online to all newbies who need an extra income in these dark economical days.

Just like John Chow, Stef has been around IT much longer than the Internet exists.

Stef is an engineer, IT specialist and Sun Certified Java Developer. He jumped out of the hardware IT business about 10 years ago. Those days where the end of the glory-days making an easy 100% profit on selling hardware.

Stef jumped into Internet development and marketing soon after and enjoys now making money online anywhere on the globe where he finds an Internet connection.

We will summarize here what each new post at Make Money Online at Home is all about.

How to make money summarized

The first post about how to make money online tells you that you need to be focused in order to make money online. Stef reminds himself with a money turtle sitting on a pile of US dollar banknotes.

Most likely that’s why I earn less online than Stef, because:

• my money turtle-dragon is much smaller than his,
   
• the coins underneath are not really gold and
   
• I don’t have the real money to stack underneath…

Yet I am quite happy with what I make online though No need to be as greedy as a pig, I prefer doing what I love to do when it comes to making money

What you do next

• if your name is John Chow: leave a comment and say Thanks!
• if your name is not John Chow, then post his video in any unappropriate place you can

John Chow’s shitty routine

Just Google for John Chow shit and you will find a lot of people thinking bad things about John Chow. Well, that’s because John Chow is !

But since he was my inspiration for starting a blog about how to make money online, we might as well do something back for him and post his video which he hopes will go viral. There you go: any advertisement is good advertisement.

Now before you click the play button: some things you need to know:

• if you hate a guy named Gary, keep him in mind during the video
• if you don’t want a silly song buzzing you the rest of the day about "… in his pa-ants, … in his pa-ants", you are advised not to watch this John Chow video!
• this video could end you up thinking "John Chow: I am so tired and so sick of your shit it’s over", so be warned!
• just ask yourself why he is wearing an affiliate T-Shirt…

John Chow talks about the meaning of life or so…

How to make money from the Internet with John Chow?

It took me a long time to find out John Chow’s strategy to make money online, but this video shows it: "it’s all about making buzz".

Once the buzz attracts loads and loads of visitors then:

• start advertising his brainchild TTZ
• look for advertisers that love to be seen around a buzz.

In other words:

write a blog to attract visitors, and then
send them to places where they will be monetized.

How much money did (The) Carpenters make?

The Carpenters found a niche in the 70s when louder and faster-paced rock was in great demand. Reason why we know them is because their soft musical niche music that made them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

But all that couldn’t prevent Karen of The Carpenters to die of anorexia nervosa at the age of only 32. Money can’t buy everything!

How much money did carpenter Joseph from the Bible make?

Joseph, the man that helped virgin marry to fled to Egypt so they were able to bring up Jesus…

It’s not stated how much money carpenters made during those days, but for all I learned from the bible:

• have your business where there is lot’s of traffic (traders in the synagogue)
• you can always double your money if you let it work. Just know that twice 3 is only 6 where twice 5 is already 10… the more money you have, the easier it gets
• you don’t have to do a lot to become famous:just make sure you get seen around another famous person (who would have ever known there was a carpenter named Joseph when there wouldn’t have been Jesus

So don’t look at a persons’ pay check, but learn how they got the paycheck!

How much money do real carpenters make?

How much money do carpenters make?

Normally, carpenters make between 10$ to 30$ an hour. The more skillful they are, the more they can earn.

Skillful means:

1. if they have the skills to negotiate a better price, they can earn more
2. if they have finer carpenter skills, they can earn more
3. if they have better tools, they can earn more

So remember that even the best carpenter can be the least paid. Just visit Bali and see how little these amazingly skilled wood-carvers are making…

Carpenters’ earnings versus Linky Love’s earnings

Compared to carpenters in Bali, Linky love is doing well, compared to carpenters in US, there is room for improvement:

1. I am not a salesperson, so I am not that good in negotiating prices for advertising, nor am I good in selling stuff online
2. I am not an IT person, so my money making skills are less compared to let’s say John Chow "who was born in a computer"
3. I am resourceful and finding better tools, resulting in new websites like Adopt a Puppy for Free : 20 days young and already making more money than Gwen Stefani Clothes make in 1 month…

Evaluation

Know yourself

Read what I said about how carpenters can earn more money and then see for yourself where you stand:

1. if carpenters have the skills to negotiate a better price, they can earn more
2. if they have finer carpenter skills, they can earn more
3. if carpenters have better tools, they can earn more

I am :

1. not a salesperson
2. not an IT person but
3. I am looking for better tools in order to make more money online

One tool I bought is the complete Step-by-Step Guide on creating Profitable Blogs. From that I mainly use the "Find yourself a new niche website tool". This makes that I am starting to make more money on the Internet outside of the Linky Love blog.

Selling adspace is not my forte either, so as you can see now:

• you can just buy adspace in 1 second here : text-link-ads for only 10$ and exposure for half a year!
• buy adspace in 1 minute here : it gives you statistics about my visitors, so saves me the sales person talk : just look at the bare facts and decide for yourself
• why advertising on Linky Love is a great way of attracting more visitors to your website and
• why advertising on Linky Love is a great way of branding your products.

If you are blogging for money yourself: then evaluate where you stand.

• if you are good in selling stuff, then by all means make more efforts there.
• if you have a good IT background and you want to dig deeper in order to reach more, then by all means make more efforts there.
• if you are like me: not an IT person nor a salesperson, then get yourself some good tools in order to blog better

Think outside the box…

Really look around yourself and look with eyes that monetize…

Charisma Carpenter Playboy Gallery

An example of thinking outside the "Carpenter" box is illustrated in the picture below, yet outside the box doesn’t always have to mean outside your clothes…
That’s why you can also have a look at  href="http://www.womansswimwear.net/2008/03/charisma-carpenter-in-bikini.html">Charisma Carpenter in a bikini …

Charisma Carpenter Playboy Gallery is only 1 example of
thinking outside the "Carpenter" box…

Another example about thinking about the carpenters box is selling the carpenters sticker heads in the picture higher above…

Future earnings

Like I said last month: on average we are making $300 a month. With the amount of effort I put in this blog compared to other blogs (Adopt a Puppy for Free), I should be making my target of $1000 a month already long time ago.

We have to face it: earning $3000 a year is great when you talk about pocket money in the west.

It’s even better when you talk about living in the east. It buys me 3 airplane tickets from east to west, which is great for sitting on my butt and writing about the things I love

Main thing is you do what you love, and if what you love is wood and "carpenting", then by all means become a carpenter, no matter how much money it does or doesn’t make…

Tomorrow is the start of the Chinese New Year of the rat. This is a very important festival amongst the Chinese and the Vietnamese as well.

If you ever wondered why so many Chinese are stranded in train stations these days in snowy China: it’s because 200 million Chinese are "going home". That is the same number are there are US citizens…

Now we all know John Chow makes money telling other people how to make money online. Although he does a lot of rambling inbetween, the advantage of rambling is: that there is a topic for everybody.

• that explains why you can find "everybody" on his website and
• why Linky Love divided her website in different topics each day

This strategy is only useful if "for some reason" you want lots of visitors.

• I want lots of visitors so I can monetize my website better using passive income from Adsense, Kontera and any other person wanting to advertise on my site.
• John Chow’s strategy is having a big number of RSS readers (which is loved by ReviewMe and anybody else using "email marketing".

So for once I will add some Chinese New Year rambling link from John Chow celebrating Chinese New year in Vancouver, Canada.

If you go there here, you will notice the Chinese New Year celebration pictures will look very much like in the picture below:

Lunar New Year Dragon Dance

And yes: you will see a lot of people wearing red like Mischa Barton:

you don’t need to be red from top to toe during Chinese New Year!

Mischa Barton in red
This is why I don’t wear too much red at Chinese New Year:
I don’t want to look like a ripe tomato…
