			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a target="_blank" href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thenichethinktank.com%2Fniche-market-blogging-or-streetfighting-for-bloggers-part-1%2F" ><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thenichethinktank.com%2Fniche-market-blogging-or-streetfighting-for-bloggers-part-1%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p>I&#8217;ve come up with a little philosophy about internet marketing, niche marketing, finding a good niche and making money online. I am sure I&#8217;m not the only person to take this approach, but it all stems from Bruce Lee&#8217;s philosophy of Jeet Kune Do.  Take what works, discard what doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>With this philosophy in mind, take what works, discard what  doesn&#8217;t, I formulated my own &#8220;Style&#8221; or philosophy of Blogging and  Marketing. Comprised of things that work and get the job done the way  that works for me, in the most efficient way possible.  I call it <strong><em>Street  Fighting for Bloggers</em></strong>. It is the most efficient, fastest,  easiest way to monetize a blog and start pulling income in within the  first month of blogging or putting up a site, that I have found to date.</p>
<p>This philosophy I came up with for my own style of Niche Marketing Kung  Fu, came from a need of money. I have my own company in which I do I.T.  Consulting, and manage small and medium sized businesses. While I  watched as my list of clientele slowly started to drop like  flies, or were unable to pay me for services already rendered, I also  saw my income take a scary downturn. I started seeing a bleak future for  my company and my family if I didn&#8217;t start to supplement my income  somehow.</p>
<p>I started out over a year ago selling old computers parts on eBay, for extra cash, there&#8217;s a surprising number of people who buy old computer parts on eBay and build computers with them. I supplemented my Christmas spending money with that one year. Then the economy started to take that downturn and people weren&#8217;t buying things like they used to. Instead of buying things they wanted, they ONLY bought things they Needed.</p>
<p>Need before want, was the message of the day and the stuff I had to sell wasn&#8217;t selling anymore. No money for luxuries, only for necessities. I had to figure something out and quick, my annual income was quickly going from 70+K a year down to under 30K, in under one year.</p>
<p>I started looking around and while I had a semi lucrative Dating Service I ran for people with a certain medical issue, and thought I knew about making money online, I started to see things that opened my eyes to things I hadn&#8217;t thought about before. I came across sites like Problogger, Entreprenuers-Journey with Yaro Starak and Copyblogger. I started to see that I really didn&#8217;t know all there was to know about Niche Marketing or even just making <em>some</em> money online.</p>
<p>I started reading Problogger, Copyblogger, and Yaro Staraks Blog. I also bought Darren Rowse&#8217;s 31 Days to Build a Better Blog, joined Yaro Staraks Blog Mastermind and joined Niche Profit Classroom and started my education of Online and Niche Marketing.</p>
<p>Blogging was cool and looked like it could make a nice lucrative, even &#8220;full time&#8221; income, <em>Eventually</em>, but that wasn&#8217;t fast enough. I needed money to support my family and quicker than the minimum year it sometimes took for a blog to start generating income.  Niche Profit Classroom, was interesting, I learned about Niche Marketing and small niches, but the way they taught about websites, to me looked spammy, and in the 3-6 months I tried their method, I made exactly $0.00.</p>
<p>I did buy a product I really believe in and that&#8217;s Alexis Dawes &#8220;Give me Desperate Buyers Only&#8221;. With that I was able to make my first Niche Site that actually started making money, 14 days after putting the website up. I&#8217;ll talk about that in a few minutes.</p>
<p>All of the things I learned about seemed logical, and feasible to make an income, but it just wasn&#8217;t fast enough, I needed to be making money asap. This is when I started to do my own experimenting in blogging and niche market design. I had listened to Podcasts on Yaro Staraks blog, and with the info I gleaned from &#8220;Give me Desperate Buyers Only&#8221;, I created a site to help people get off a certain painkiller. Being someone with experience in this area, I felt I knew enough of  how to successfully get off of  this painkiller to write an info product that would sell.</p>
<p>It sold, and sold and still sells today. People are Desperate to get off of painkillers, especially those addicted to them for a long period of time. Why did this sell? Because it&#8217;s something that people are Desperate for. Something that they Need, as well as want, but the Need is much stronger. So they buy it, several times a month, and the money goes straight into my Paypal account.</p>
<p>After my initiate success with that first website, I tried doing sites in a manner taught to me by one of the programs I joined, to no avail. After 3-6 months of sites that weren&#8217;t making money with that style of site they promoted, I decided to make my own layout based on premium Wordpress themes I had.</p>
<p>Street Fighting for Bloggers, is a  combination/blend of Amazon Affiliate marketing, Banner Ad Marketing, and  Google Adsense, all combined with good content, the basis of all good blogs and websites. With this formula you have almost instant income, which will only grow over time, as you keep adding content to the site it draws more and more traffic. As we all know: Traffic=Money.</p>
<p><strong>My first month of using this formula I pulled in:</strong></p>
<p>Amazon:  $51</p>
<p>Adsense: $104</p>
<p><strong>2nd Month:</strong></p>
<p>Amazon: $97</p>
<p>Adsense:  $95</p>
<p><strong>3rd Month: </strong></p>
<p>Amazon: $60</p>
<p>Adsense: $60</p>
<p><strong>4th Month:</strong></p>
<p>Amazon: $139</p>
<p>Adsense: $89</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>The Google Dance</strong></p>
<p>The third month I had a  little setback, and I&#8217;ll tell you what that setback was in a moment,  but just remember this income is from just 3 websites.</p>
<p>On the third month, Google started doing what I call the <strong><em>Google Dance</em></strong>. Once you are indexed by Google, you will enjoy a nice period of being at the top on Page One many times, some people refer to this as the <em><strong>Google Honey Moon Period</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Google will index new sites and give them a good SERP ranking, being high in the first page usually, sometimes even #1. After a few weeks or a month or two, you will disappear, almost completely. Although you will still be indexed, your site won&#8217;t pop up for any search whatsoever, at least not in the first 10,20 or hundred SERPs. People get a little nervous when this happens, thinking they may have been penalized for something they didn&#8217;t do. Not to worry.</p>
<p>If you have done your homework and picked a good niche, ranked your keywords and use good content, you will return to the high ranks in no time at all. For me it took one site almost a whole month before this happened, on another site it was back up within 2 weeks.</p>
<p>Once you are back on top you will start to see the clicks and book sales start to happen again and start to increase with each month, as long as you have a good niche, and are using good content and picked your keywords wisely.</p>
<p><strong>In part 2 </strong>I will be going over how I pick good niches that will bring in income almost immediately.</p>
<p><strong>Part 3 </strong>will be about Constructing a Niche Site like I use to bring in monthly Passive/Residual/Affiliate Income.</p>
<p><strong>Part 4</strong> will be about content creation or re-purposing content for adding good content to your niche site.</p>
<p><strong>Part 5</strong> will be about what to do after you get bored with the site,even though it&#8217;s making money, or Blog Flipping.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Bruce Lee, started a martial arts philosophy called Jeet Kune Do, The Way of the Intercepting Fist. Rather than a system or &#8220;Style&#8221; of fighting it was more philosophy than physical art. The premise is &#8220;keep what works, discaed the useless&#8221;. Having drawn from many styles of arts in his life, but the core being from the style called Wing Chun, his own growth in martial arts was very eclectic, taking what worked for him, and leaving what didn&#8217;t. In many ways, we as bloggers and niche marketers need to do the same thing for ourselves.</p>
<p>I for one have been through several &#8220;Schools of Blogging&#8221; and several &#8220;Schools of Marketing&#8221;, and have found that from each there were things that worked for me, and things that didn&#8217;t. The Darren Rowse School of Blogging, <em><a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=258839&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=78333&amp;cl=11220"  target="_blank">31 Days to Build a Better Blog</a></em>, was short and sweet, very to the point and inexpensive. Yaro Staraks, <em><a href="http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/go.php?offer=sdtechent&amp;pid=2"  target="_blank">BlogMastermind</a></em>, was 6 months long, and was a bit more from the wallet than Darren Rowses course, but worth every penny, as was Darrens.</p>
<p>From both schools of thought I took away many things that would work for me, and some things that didn&#8217;t work for me I just left alone. I then studied several schools of marketing in the Internet marketing world, one was the <em><a href="http://www.adsensemasterscourse.com/amember/go.php?r=2314&amp;i=l0"  target="_blank">Micro Niche Adsense Masters Course</a></em>, by John X-Factor, and the other was from <em><a href="http://www.copyblogger.com"  target="_blank">CopyBlogger</a></em> run by Brian Clark, learning writing techniques and traffic pulling concepts. Again both have their merits, both are good and both have things that didn&#8217;t work for me.</p>
<p>I also drew from several other courses, <em>The Lazy Super Affiliate</em>, <em>Niche Profit Classroom</em> and Alexis Dawes <em><a href="http://www.thenichethinktank.com/desperate.php"  target="_blank">Give me Desperate Buyers Only</a></em>, all of which had excellent points and things I took away with me and the rest I just left. Why carry it around if I&#8217;m not going to use it? Right?</p>
<p>With these philosophies I formed my own style of blogging and marketing, some are based on what I have learned from the &#8220;<em>Masters</em>&#8220;, and some I have developed myself. With these in mind, I would like all other bloggers reading this, especially <a href="http://blogcastfm.com/blogger-interviews/jd-roth-get-rich-slowly/"  target="_blank">Early Stage Bloggers</a>, to realize that you don&#8217;t have to do everything perfectly by the book, or how the teacher explains, you should develop and find your own way of thinking and growing in the blogosphere.</p>
<p>There is no absolute right or wrong, sure there are right and wrong ways of doing somethings but there are no absolutes. So don&#8217;t feel as though you are doing one thing wrong if you do it differently than you were taught, but it works the way you do it.</p>
<p>Just remember, the Masters or A-List Bloggers started exactly in the same spot we all are or have, with only one reader, ourselves.</p>

I Flipped my first website! I made more money flipping the website than I did in all the time it was up. Which isn&#8217;t much but hey, I got some money for it.</p>
<p>So my first flip was a site I originally put on the auction block at <a href="http://flippa.com/"  target="_blank">flippa.com</a>, and it received 2 bids total, but didn&#8217;t meet the reserve so it didn&#8217;t sell. I decided to put a little more content on there, and then I re-listed it for half price listing, since it didn&#8217;t sell the first time, and then I also redid the sales page on the auction.</p>
<p>I included the income it was receiving, the traffic stats, and some other ways it could be monetized and then crossed my fingers. It received 1 bid, which was exactly the reserve amount of $60, and it sold with that one bid. The guy then sent me all his login info for his control panel and expected me to put it up for him. However I stated in my auction that I will install the site and set it up for a small fee, to which he promptly paid me a whopping $50 to do.</p>
<p>So I received a total of $110 for that website, and a tiny amount of work, which for the time I spend putting into that site, wasn&#8217;t worth it, to some. To me it was worth the experience I received selling my first website. That experience gave me the courage to do it again, or at least I&#8217;m not so scared to sell another one.</p>
<p>The initial time I think any of us does something new, is scary. We know not the outcome, if we&#8217;ll get burned, or if we&#8217;re even doing it(whatever it might be) right. So my first one behind me, and dealing with a customer who needed help setting it up, piece of cake. I&#8217;m sure this won&#8217;t be a piece of cake for other sites I intend to sell. I&#8217;ve already moved plenty of sites from one server to another and no issues whatsoever.</p>
<p>The site I sold in question was <a href="http://www.rosebushcaretips.com"  target="_blank">www.rosebushcaretips.com</a>, and I&#8217;ll tell you why. I started that site when I was in Niche Profit Classroom, while learning their technique for building automated income sources. They give you a &#8220;Niche Pack&#8221; which is a website, basically, content and some direction on how to put it all together, along with some article marketing, and there you have a self sustaining, automated cash flow machine, right? Well, not quite.</p>
<p>The Niche Packs they were giving out were more like luxury items for sale, and in this recession no one is buying luxury items. When I say luxury I mean things that you might WANT, but not NEED. they are not necessity. So no one will by in a bad economy things that are considered a luxury or a a non-necessity.</p>
<p>The sites looked like this: <a href="http://learnroses.com"  target="_blank">http://learnroses.com</a> or this:<a href="http://www.secretbookofroses.com"  target="_blank"> http://www.secretbookofroses.com</a></p>
<p>In my opinion they look spammy and just one long sales page. You sign up for the newsletter or e-course as they usually call it, and then they send you their sales pitch after a few e-course emails. Well it just wasn&#8217;t working for me at all and I didn&#8217;t feel like that sort of sales page would sell anything, especially in this economy. So I completely changed it.</p>
<p>The way the site looks now, if the new owner hasn&#8217;t changed it, is what I made of it when I ditched the Niche Profit Classroom mode of thinking. I gave the e-book away, I put videos and tons of useful content on there, pictures, Amazon Associate Links and Google Adsense on there. Summer was coming and the traffic was going up, as it&#8217;s more of a seasonal thing, but it was ranking high in the search engines, so it will keep going up as long as the content is coming in steadily.</p>
<p>The first month I put Adsense on there it made a total of about $2, the second month it made $4 and the 3rd month before I sold it it was bringing in $7, effectively doubling each  month from the time I started doing it &#8220;My Way&#8221;. The Amazon Sales were minimal but started to go up as well.</p>
<p>The reason I sold it is this, I wasn&#8217;t really into it, I didn&#8217;t feel like working on a website that would cost me more time to build it up. Plain and Simple, I just wasn&#8217;t into it. I love roses, I&#8217;m just not that into it.</p>
<p>I also want to say that while I may seem to have spoken down about the Niche Profit Classroom, I learned a great deal from them, about What&#8217;s a good Niche, and Niche Marketing. I just took away what I felt was useful.</p>
<p>So website flipping is somewhat addicting too, as I can&#8217;t wait to sell my next one for hopefully much much more.</p>
<p>In case you want to see the auction page it is here: <a href="http://flippa.com/auctions/96464"  target="_blank">http://flippa.com/auctions/96464</a></p>
<p>PS wait till you see my Income report for June!!!</p>

May was the month to start reorganization of my thoughts, my workflow and my direction in Internet marketing and making money online. I started the focus on writing my own product. I&#8217;m doing 2 to start with, a photography book on my style of photography, Hollywood Glamour Photography, and the second on my new way of monetizing websites, the fastest way I have found to do it so far.</p>
<p>While all the marketing and money making programs I have done have been good in their own way, for one reason or another, they do not monetize fast enough to help pay the bills.</p>
<p>Like I said This month saw a slight increase from last month, and I am forecasting a gradual but steady increase from here on out. I have a few new sites I&#8217;d like to talk about, one being a Kindle Forum. <a href="http://www.thekindleboard.com"  target="_blank">http://www.thekindleboard.com</a>.</p>
<p>I am hoping to make a community of people chatting away about their Amazon Kindles, Apple iPads, and Barnes &amp; Noble NOOKs. If you are one of my readers and wish to help me out, I could use more people signing up and posting on that board. As we all know, no one posts to an empty board. Eventually it will be monetized so if you all stick around maybe you will watch it grow?</p>
<p>I have also decided I have a Domain Addiction. <img src='http://www.thenichethinktank.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I buy domains with the intentino of monetizing them, but I have way too much on my plate to really do anything about it. So I have decided to start a 12 step program called domain buyers anonymous. For those of us afflicted with Domain Buying Addiction. I almost bought 2 domains today but decided not too, I have tons of domains I can monetize, but just need to sit down and do it.</p>
<p>Do you, or someone you know, suffer from Domain Buying Addiction? We can help&#8230;hahaha&#8230;</p>
<p>BTW I own over 350 domains, is that sick or what? I &#8216;d like to know. <img src='http://www.thenichethinktank.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Anyway on to the report for this month:</p>
<p>Amazon – 48.43</p>
<p>Dating Sites – 465.17</p>
<p>Affiliate eBook  Sales &#8211; 47.50</p>
<p>Text Link Ads – 57.67</p>
<p>Google – 284.11</p>
<p>Advertising – 100.00</p>
<p><strong>Total – $1002.88</strong></p>
<p><strong>last month (April) &#8211; 977.53</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a target="_blank" href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thenichethinktank.com%2Fa-watched-pot-never-boils-monthly-income-report%2F" ><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thenichethinktank.com%2Fa-watched-pot-never-boils-monthly-income-report%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p>I&#8217;ve finally had a better month at making some good online income, and have spent less time on the computer doing it too. I&#8217;ve made some huge leaps and bounds and while my income has only gone up about 100$ since <a href="http://www.thenichethinktank.com/the-effect-of-compounding-income-streams-and-december-2009-earnings-report/" >my last income report</a>, I&#8217;ve also spent less time doing it. WAY LESS.</p>
<p>First off, I&#8217;ll be giving another review of Niche Profit Classroom, as I have used it for over six months now, and not earned a single dime from it. At least not the way they teach it.  But I will review that in another post. I recommend it for people needing or wanting to learn about selling ebooks or other info products, but the way they teach it and the products they sell with the program are&#8230; crap. But again that&#8217;s for another post.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;ve been very busy and away from the computer and this blog for WAY TOO LONG, and I need to post to this blog more frequently. So my total for this month right off the top of my head is $1,356.91. My last report was 1,294.78. The difference as I said before is I spent way less time on the computer and online doing it this month than ever.</p>
<p>I listen to blog talk radio sometimes and ran across this program: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.adsensemasterscourse.com/amember/go.php?r=2314&amp;i=l0"  target="_parent">Adsense Masters Course</a>, which I liked what I was hearing. I make some good money from Google AdSense but what this guy was talking is so simple and I am wondering why I didn&#8217;t think about doing this months ago, because I KNOW that Google AdSense does work.</p>
<p>Basically you make a site which a keyword phrase and pull traffic to the site and people click on the AdSense. It&#8217;s all White hat, no black hat crap. Otherwise I wouldn&#8217;t do it and risk losing my AdSense account. I&#8217;ve also implemented my own little twist to it too: Amazon Affiliate Sales. I will be putting out my own PDF document Product on how I do this now because I have had a steady growing stream of revenue from both the Adsense and Amazon stuff, that I feel I have finally figured it out and found the magic ingredients.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also re-discovered the real secret behind marketing and sales online: TRAFFIC. If you have no traffic, you have no one to sell to. I&#8217;ve also figured out that for me, I need to blog and work on sites that I have an interest in what I am writing or selling. For instance, my site <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rockabillylifestyle.com"  target="_parent">www.rockabillylifestyle.com</a>, or my photography Website on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.darkmansdarkroom.com/"  target="_parent">Hollywood Glamour Photography</a>: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.darkmansdarkroom.com/"  target="_parent">Darkmans Darkroom</a>. Oh and you should have seen the jump in traffic when I blogged about Michelle Bombshell McGee, Jesse James Mistress( I almost Photographed her once). That was a hot topic. So was the death of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.darkmansdarkroom.com/death-of-a-legend-peter-gowland/"  target="_parent">Peter Gowland, The Pinup Legend</a>.</p>
<p>Traffic is a big part of those sites and there is a lot of interest in those topics. So I will be putting together an eBook for my own product here shortly and will be giving it away for a week and then I will be charging for it once I get some feedback.</p>
<p>Ok so here is the lesson with small streams of income and traffic kids, please do try this at home. <img src='http://www.thenichethinktank.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I have this money tree, it was given to me by a close friend who couldn&#8217;t take care of it any longer and it was not doing to good. I put it in a larger pot, and fresh dirt, with some fertilizer and it took off. I&#8217;ve had it about 3-4 years. I recently started trimming it just before spring of the past two years. I do this to keep it groomed and to train it to grow the way I want it to grow. I also have this idea that if I nurture this little tree, it will bring me luck and money. <img src='http://www.thenichethinktank.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So each spring I trim it and feed it and watch the new leaves sprout, but you never really see it grow by watching it. Just as you don&#8217;t see a pot of water boil if you stand there and watch it, or it takes just too damn long. So this year I took some pictures to illustrate how little streams and online marketing will frustrate the hell out of you if you start there and watch it try to grow. It will just be very frustrating, which I found out.</p>
<p>Each day I would look at it, and see no real change, but between photographs, which were taken only days apart from each other over a period of 2-3 weeks, you can see the difference. Little streams start to gather momentum, and then join with other little streams to start forming a larger stream of income and then the next thing you know you have a nice chunk of change coming in. See the pictures below.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The pictures were taken over a period of a couple of weeks(2), and this is how I have experienced the growth of my online presence and income slowly growing and gathering momentum. If you sit there and try to watch each click, visitor or payment that comes to your site instead of focusing on Good Content, Driving traffic and being patient, you will NEVER see any light at the end of the tunnel.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Still with something for at least 6 months to 1 year before giving up on it.</p>

<p><strong>I&#8217;m not THE guru, eating my words.</strong></p>
<p>When I started this blog I was all set and ready to make money blogging, take on the world and show everyone how it was done. Well I got my words handed back to me and I am humbly asking for what little audience I have to forgive me.</p>
<p>I really didn&#8217;t know what I was talking about and for the most part I don&#8217;t know as much as I thought I did.</p>
<p>I was going to do this blog on Niche Marketing and tell you how you can make tons of money effortlessly with Niche Marketing, but the fact is, the way I was doing niche marketing was rather boring. So I make a niche site, I put an ebook on it and sell it. Oh Boy, how exciting and how many times can I talk about that? Once, maybe twice then its dead.</p>
<p>I make money with a few dating sites and Google AdSense. I just started blogging, and I just started to do niche sites and selling ebooks. I have made money on the &#8216;net before and I thought I knew everything there was to know about making money on the &#8216;net, but boy did I find out just how wrong I was. And for that I apologize.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Profits Blueprint, learning how to blog.</strong></p>
<p>So I started this course on blogging and learning how to make money blogging, or rather how to make a full time living blogging, and <em>blogging when I want</em>, not blogging everyday, all day long. The place I am learning this is <a href="http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/go.php?offer=sdtechent&amp;pid=1&amp;u=http://www.blogmastermind.com/video/" title="Blog Mastermind by Yaro Starak"  target="_blank">Blog Mastermind</a>, which is headed and built by <a href="http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/go.php?offer=sdtechent&amp;pid=1&amp;u=http://www.blogmastermind.com/video/" title="Blog Mastermind by Yaro Starak"  target="_blank">Yaro Starak</a>. From his site alone I have learned an incredible amount of information and technique. I have also started blogging on topics that I am comfortable with like my <a href="http://www.darkmansdarkroom.com/" title="Darkmans Darkroom - The Photography of Larry &quot;Darkman&quot; Clark"  target="_blank">Hollywood Glamour Photography and Pinup Photography</a> at <a href="http://www.darkmansdarkroom.com/" title="Darkmans Darkroom - The Photography of Larry &quot;Darkman&quot; Clark"  target="_blank">Darkmans Darkroom,</a> instead of trying to teach people how to make money on line which I know very little about. At least I realize this now.</p>
<p><strong>Lazy Super Affiliate, Desperate Buyers Only and Niche Profit Classroom Reviews.</strong></p>
<p>I have in my sidebar some links to techniques and methods for making money online. These methods include <a href="http://www.thenichethinktank.com/confessions.php" title="Lazy Super Affiliate"  target="_blank">Affiliate stuff</a>, <a href="http://www.thenichethinktank.com/desperate.php" title="Desperate Buyers Only"  target="_blank">Desperate Buyers Only</a>, and <a href="http://www.thenichethinktank.com/npc.php" title="Niche Profit Classroom"  target="_blank">Niche Profit Classroom</a>, these are all good techniques and ways to make decent  money online. I have bought these programs and used them all. I promote them because I have used them, I like them and I continue to use them, so again, I promote them. So if you want to know what I think about making money online with these programs, I highly recommend the ones I am promoting. Otherwise if they didn&#8217;t work, I wouldn&#8217;t promote them because I only promote that which I believe in.</p>
<p><strong>Choir Lessons, instead of  preaching to the choir.</strong></p>
<p>So now my blog is shifting focus. Instead of me trying to teach you something I really don&#8217;t know much about, I am going to document what I am learning. I am doing this so others who read my blog can learn how to do it too, and learn from my mistakes and successes.</p>
<p>So far I have been enrolled in the <a href="http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/go.php?offer=sdtechent&amp;pid=1&amp;u=http://www.blogmastermind.com/video/" title="Blog Mastermind by Yaro Starak"  target="_blank">Blog Mastermind</a> course for 3 months now and I have actually started to make some small change. Not huge amounts of money but enough to help pay a few bills. Not all of it is from blogging but from some of the techniques I have learned through Blog Mastermind on building traffic. If you want to know the secret to all of these things, it&#8217;s <em>traffic</em>. If you have traffic, the sales and money will follow. This is one big thing I have learned from my studies so far, but it&#8217;s not the only thing.</p>
<p><strong>First Good Money, aside from Google.</strong></p>
<p>I have made money with Google and still do on my dating sites and other sites, but I have other websites that have traffic and I want to monetize them as well. I was hearing everyone talk about <a href="http://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=259574" title="Text-Link-Ads"  target="_blank">Text-Link-Ads</a>. Since I had Google AdSense on some of these sites already, I wanted another way to monetize the sites and the one tool that I really like is Text-Link-Ads.  They didn&#8217;t take all the sites I had, usually the sites with a good bit of traffic that had some back links, but the money I got from them for the Text-Link-Ads on those sites is nice!</p>
<p>I started in August 2009, and my first month payout was about $5, September was about $20, October was about $32 and November is about $56 and still going up, and this is from just one site. It depends on the number of links that sell and are placed on your site and each month my pay would go up because more links sold and that means more money. I still have link space on my sites that have the Text-Link-Ads on them, so I am not up to capacity yet on any of my sites. So that means I have more potential for more money on each site. I really like the Text-Link-Ads system because I do <em>Nothing</em> at all. They do all the work and I just collect the money, just like the banner says, &#8220;Earn while Snoring&#8221;. See my sidebar for that banner.</p>
<p><strong>The big payoff, actually smaller ones adding up.</strong></p>
<p>So this month will be about a $56 payout from <a href="http://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=259574" title="Text-Link-Ads"  target="_blank">Text-Link-Ads</a>, and that&#8217;s from just one site. That&#8217;s $56 I didn&#8217;t have before, right? That&#8217;s a tank of gas, or a bill paid or whatever, but it&#8217;s cold hard cash! And that&#8217;s what I like right now. This economy has really screwed things up for me and my IT business, and I was getting desperate for a while. I mean really desperate. So I turned to the Internet to try to make some extra money and that&#8217;s how I stumbled upon those things in my sidebar, and the <a href="http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/go.php?offer=sdtechent&amp;pid=1&amp;u=http://www.blogmastermind.com/video/" title="Blog Mastermind by Yaro Starak"  target="_blank">Blog Mastermind</a> course, which has helped me immensely.</p>
<p>So I may not be making huge amounts of money, like huge payouts, but I am making a few smaller ones, and those add up really fast. My Google AdSense stuff, while Google prohibits me from telling how much I make, I&#8217;ll just say that I have several bills that are due at the beginning of each month that total around 300$ together. My AdSense payout takes care of those 3 bills and then I have some left over for what ever other bills I decide to put it towards.</p>
<p>So with Google AdSense, the Text-Link-Ads and membership fee&#8217;s from my dating sites are starting to add up quickly to pay for a good chunk of my monthly expenses. I have several other little things happening too, affiliate sales. On one of my dating sites I have an eBook download that is a sales product from Clickbank. It&#8217;s a product on dating and dating psychology and he last time I checked I had a few sales of that product which is adding up for yet another bill here or there.</p>
<p><strong>Makeup&#8230; a line&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>On <a href="http://www.darkmansdarkroom.com/" title="Darkmans Darkroom - The Photography of Larry &quot;Darkman&quot; Clark"  target="_blank">my photography site</a> I have affiliate banners for a makeup company called <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3687668-10609182?sid=dmkitMUbanner" title="E.L.F. Makeup"  target="_blank">E.L.F</a>.  E.L.F. sells <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3687668-10609182?sid=dmkitMUbanner" title="Really Cheap Makeup"  target="_blank">really cheap makeup</a> but it&#8217;s good makeup. Since I use makeup artists on my various photo shoots, they all use makeup, and makeup is not cheap, usually. With E.L.F. Cosmetics it&#8217;s very affordable, especially if you are doing a lot of photo shoots and going through a lot of makeup. People who find my site or makeup artists looking at my site and my photography see the links and banners to<a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3687668-10609182?sid=dmkitMUbanner" title="ELF Makeup"  target="_blank"> E.L.F. Makeup</a>, click on them and investigate. They see how affordable the makeup is and they buy right then and there.</p>
<p>Many times I get traffic from search engines, where my posts are indexed, from people searching for affordable makeup. They are searching for &#8220;<a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3687668-10609182?sid=dmkitMUbanner" title="Really Cheap Makeup"  target="_blank">really cheap makeup&#8221;</a>, they find my posts, click on them, see the low makeup prices and buy. I in turn get a commission from that since I am an affiliate.  This too I have learned from the Blog Mastermind course I am enrolled in.</p>
<p><strong>Knowledge is Power</strong>.</p>
<p>There is a wealth of knowledge that Yaro Starak is imparting at the <a href="http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/go.php?offer=sdtechent&amp;pid=1&amp;u=http://www.blogmastermind.com/video/" title="Blog Mastermind by Yaro Starak"  target="_blank">Blog Mastermind</a> site and I am realizing I didn&#8217;t really know as much as I thought. This is OK, because <em>I am</em> open minded to the idea that I may not know as much as I thought, so it makes me teachable. Therefore I learn, and you shall too, if you follow me on my adventures in blogging in the blogosphere.</p>
<p>If you are interested in learning how to blog, become a blogger or learn to be a better blogger, please feel free to check out the licks in this post or the little square ads over there &#8212;&gt; in my sidebar, you&#8217;ll be glad you did, I guarantee it.</p>

I am doing a ton of work lately and hopefully in the next day or so I will go into it. I have however put up a site to sell Super Adsense Wordpress Themes for a super low price of 9.97. Along with that I bundled up Jason Oickles &#8220;Adsense Secrets Unleashed&#8221;. This is the most complete eBook on Adsense I have ever seen and he said I could bundle it in with my Super Adsense Wordrpress Themes. Anyway the site is here: <a href="http://www.wp-adsense-themes.net"  target="_blank">http://www.wp-adsense-themes.net</a></p>
<p>and again the themes are going for $9.97 (cheap) and the Jason Oickle eBook &#8220;Adsense Secrets Unleashed&#8221; is free.</p>

When I was starting my Internet marketing Entrepreneurial Business, I started blogging and was using WordPress. Wordpress, a great blogging software, is what we use here on this site but is is also what I use on all of my blogging sites. I have several sites that are not just about making money, they are about health and helping others live a better life. But back to my topic, Stephen was in a forum for internet marketeers selling a guide to Adsense , and he spoke a good talk. I checked out his sales page and liked what I saw, especially after what I read in the forum and I bought it. The main reason I bought the package was the AdSense ready WordPress templates he was giving away. 30 templates that were especially formatted for WordPress, having the AdSense set in advantageuos spots in the templates, and nice looking to the eye. That was the main catch for me. The he included some adsense reports from another person, Jason Oickle. I still have yet to get to the reports by Jason Oickle, but the “Cash Cow Guide to AdSense Wealth” by Stephen Crooks I finally got to. What I read opened my eyes about AdSense, and the way people look at Blogs. By this time I had already been making a nice inome from AdSense, but what I was reading was really going to turn the lights on, in terms of how I looked at blogging and placement of my ads. If you are new to blogging, and want to get a jump on AdSense Income, or if you are a veteran, you should check this out as well, I learned quit a bit fromt his. One thing I liked reading about was the heat maps from Google. This is a definite must read and a sure money maker. Definitely a tool in my bag of tricks.</p>
