Increase FeedBurner Subscribers To Your Blog

One of the ways to show your blog potential is by displaying the number of FeedBurner Subscribers. The most important thing to be noted regarding the Subscriber's count is that, they are real people with real thoughts and should never be associated with numbers. I had a Google search, for the past one week, related to this topic and I found out that, there is a hack for doing the same using a Netvibes accounts and an OPML file.

It is quite unrealistic to get 2500 subscribers overnight. Moreover, there is no use in doing the same. No real person is reading your blog to generate valuable comments or to increase your traffic. You just show people a couple of thousand readers more than what is in now. So, I advice you not to indulge in any such activities because, one day or the other ,"The Big G"(Google) will find a lock and your key will never fit the lock anymore. Some of the valuable tips that every new blogger can adopt to increase their FeedBurner Subscribers are listed below.

1. Placement Of Your Feed - This is the most important key to increase the subscriber's count. Anything you want to promote in your blog should be placed at the top, that is, above all the widgets. You should have noticed this in my blog provided you followed my blog on a regular basis. Initially, I had the Email subscription option at the bottom of my page(had 14 readers). I shifted it to the top, 2 weeks before and at present, the number of subscribers are 18. I think the results prove why it is so important to place your feeds above all folds.

2. Feeds Below Every Post - It is always intelligent to place a email subscription or your RSS feed below every blog post because, every person who visits your blog is not a blogger . They are just people who landed on your page searching for some information. Thus, it is important to tell in what way, your blog will benefit the user who came from a search engine. You may visit this page for implementation of feeds below every blog post.

3. Post About RSS - This method is self explanatory. Basically, this method tells you to spread "What is RSS" and educate your readers about RSS. Most of the blogs do not have high RSS subscriber's count, simply because many of them don't understand what RSS is all about. So, you may publish post explaining what RSS is and how it will be useful for the reader to stay up-to-date with your blog. Finally, place a RSS link below that post and I am very sure, you will definitely see the difference.

4. Promote Your Blog Feeds - You may promote your RSS feeds by placing them in various forums, email signatures, discussions, etc... You may also place your RSS feeds along with the home page URL when you comment on posts in other sites. This method will serve to be very useful provided you comment on blogs related to your niche. Also, you may solve some problems for your fellow bloggers and later ask them personally to subscribe your blog. Not as a gratitude, but as a token of appreciation in solving their problem.

5. Include A Bonus For Your Subscribers - Last but not the least. A free bonus for Subscribing to your blog. It is very tricky to do this in a blogger or blog spot blog. But, I recommend every one to place some useful Ebook below your subscription form. This will definitely increase the subscriber's count. You have to personally send the Ebook, you mentioned in your blog, through mail to the subscriber, once you know his/her email address via FeedBurner Email Subscription Service.

I have mentioned a few effective methods to improve your subscribers. Am sure there are lots more effective ways in achieving this, so feel free to leave your opinions here via comments. See you in my next post!!!

Get More Twitter Followers TODAY

Yes, that’s right! YOU can have hundreds and hundreds of new Twitter followers starting today, and it won’t cost you ONE CENT. That’s right. Free! You can have all the glory and benefits of more Twitter Followers (and followers=power, right?) without having to pay someone else, and without having to surrender your login and password to a third party source (who will then just spam all your existing followers with links to their site anyway). Are you ready?
Just be ready to follow these steps!
Get out your pen, your paper, and shut off the cell phone. You DO NOT want to be interrupted while I tell YOU (and don’t share this with your friends) how to get more Twitter followers TODAY!



Get More Twitter Followers TODAY


  1. Find great stories from other people and share them with a link (and/or attribution). Do this 3 times or more a day!
  2. Share useful information that others can use, too! example: “I’ve discovered that Blip.fm is very useful for sharing my musical interests.” (Bonus points if you provide the URL).
  3. Participate in online events that use #hashtags, because others in the event will find you and appreciate you, too!
  4. Respond to OTHER PEOPLE using the @reply method. This is advanced, so here’s an example: “@glendawh – Is it true you were out all night last night singing karaoke?”
  5. Use Twitter Search (http://search.twitter.com) to find people talking about the things YOU talk about, and follow them!
  6. Add your Twitter URL to your signature line in your email! (Easy to do!)
  7. Don’t overtweet (more than 20 a day is a bit spooky to most people).
  8. Don’t talk about your food (unless you’re me!)
  9. Don’t use Twitter like IM (use direct messages for that)
  10. Don’t tweet all about you: tweet all about them.
  11. And never, ever, ever invite your friends to be part of your Ninja dojo (unless you’re @cspenn), your mafia family (unless you’re @jgottinotdead), or to participate in a “what type of piercing am I?” quiz.

You’re Almost There!

Can you smell that new friend smell? I know I CAN!
You are almost at the top of the Twitter list, just by following the above steps!

Using Text Link Ads for making money online

Text Link Ads is the targeted traffic and link popularity ads firm located in NY. I have been working with TLA for more than a year now and have so far earned thousands of dollars from its link popularity program.
Text Link Ads are really helpful for the site owners who are willing to gain top rankings in search engines as they offer static link and that also on the choice of your sites.
Use for Advertiser
TLA is a great market place for the advertisers who are willing to purchase some quality and targeted links for their website. Advertisers find it really easy to buy links from here because their whole process is really simple.
This service displays its publisher’s sites by categories and orders them with their Alexa Rankings, their link popularity and their monthly prices. As an advertiser, you have to choose the targeted category and chose a website for purchasing link according to your budget and requirements. Once you have found the website where you want to advertise, click on ‘Buy’ check box and click ‘Add to cart’.
If you are new here and want to try Text link ads, then you can get $100 in free links.
Use for publishers
As a publisher, You can make money with text link ads from your website by selling link space on your website for a week or month. You can sell its link side wide or even for individual pages and also can decide how many of its ads you are actually willing to sell. You also have the option whether to accept or reject a particular link offer that is being made to you.
As a publisher, you can use Text link Ads Calculator to know the value of a link for a website which depends upon where you are going to place it and also whether you are offering the link side wide or single page. You will be able to make maximum with your link ads when you place them in your left sidebar and the link value decreases when you move towards the right on your website or blog.
As a publisher, you can make more money with it by referring other publishers and Advertisers to it. You will be paid $25 when you refer a member who sign up on Text Link ads and add the TLA script on his script on his/her website for seven days. You will also be paid when you refer an advertiser on here.
Which Sites are accepted
There are many factors like Google Page Rank, Alexa Ranking, RSS subscribers that plays an important role when it comes about submitting your website on Text Link Ads. You have greater chances of being accepted here if your site has Good page rank as well as Alexa. Don’t try to submit a fresh new website or a site that has Page rank less than 3 as in that case your site will mostly be rejected there. According to me, your site has greatest chance of being accepted here if its page rank is greater than or equal to 4 and has good Alexa rankings as well.
Payment System

There are many payment options that TLA is offering to the publishers. As a publisher, you can accept your payment via Check, Paypal or Payoneer. I have so far used its check and paypal paying methods. But my choice is paypal which is a convenient and fast method for accepting and sending money.
So Try TLA
As I have told you, I have been able to make thousands of dollars from TLA within a year time. I know many publishers who have even been able to make more than thousand dollars from TLA every month. For many publishers, text link ads in one of the main source of income. I even noticed while checking the earning stats for some of marketing experts sites, they have been able to make more with Text link ads than Google adsense i.e. their TLA earnings have been much higher than what they made with Google Adsense in a month.
So there is nothing wrong in trying Text link ads.

3 Secrets To Promote Your Blog Through Forums

Forums are a great place where you can build a robust network of loyal community around you and your blog. If you are interested in what the forum is about, then you will surely find it fun. Recently, there has been an even bigger rage surrounding high page rank forums due to backlinks, which they can give bloggers – so here in this post I have given three forum secrets that will help you to promote your blog:

1. Don’t Try To Be At All Places At Once

If you try to be active at all places at one, then you will not optimize any of the forums, which you are using. It is only practical that you cannot be active in too many forums at one time. So it is my advice that you go through a list of High Page Rank forums and then focus your attention on two or three of these forums. Then after a period of three months or so you can switch to another group of high Page Rank forums. This is how you should ideally proceed towards building backlinks from high page rank forums.

2. Select A Forum Niche

Many bloggers make the mistake of trying to be involved in any high page rank forum, which they can find. This is a poor practice because you are essentially destroying a lot of potential readers to your blog (which will be on your interested niche). Also you can never give 100% to a forum where you are not at all interested in their threads and topics of discussion. So be really careful when you come to this point. Many bloggers regret having promoted their blog on the wrong niche forums.

3. Respect A Forum

If you plan to join a high Page Rank forum to only contribute junk so that you can get a backlink – you are affecting the image of yourself and your blog. Remember forums are also a great source of traffic. Understand what a forum is really for. If you can provide quality responses to other contributors they will also give respect to what you comment on the forum threads. Also, make full use of the forum – ask questions and doubts that have genuinely struck you and also help other who are in need of some kind of help. This is why I have mention in the previous point about the Forum niche selection.
Do you have any secret, which you use to promote your blog on forums?

How to Make Money Online with the Right Keywords?

This post deals with how you can optimize your site’s potential to make money online by using the right keywords. The content on your website is a mixture of powerful advice and the right selection of keywords. Keywords can make or break your website. Every user who wants to search content searches it by typing a set of keywords, and if your content does not have that keyword your content will not be prioritized by the search engine or the user. The use of right keywords will make your website search engines optimized and your website will be having high organic search engine traffic. Search engine traffic is extremely important if you want to monetize cost-per-click ads.
Here are some of the tips for choosing a right keyword so that your content will be viewed the maximum time:
  • Before you choose your keywords, try to understand who your audience is. The primary focus of your website will give you clear idea about this. All your keywords need to be related to the niche of your blog/website.
  • Think of yourself as an audience for your blog. Then brainstorm all the searches that you could possible make related to your niche. Collect all those keywords which you think your audience may look for. Normally you can choose the keywords which are very common and searched a lot by the user. For this, there are many keyword tools available on internet. You can get one of those tools and can know the best keywords you can use for the website. Some of these tools are Google AdWords, Wordtracker, Good Keyword, etc. There are many websites who have inbuilt keyword finder.
  • Try not to focus on the keywords which are too competitive. If your keyword is so common that every webmaster is trying to use it then it can be tough for you to gain audience and make money. You should focus on optimizing keywords that are not that popular. Market your keyword by using different services like videos, blogs, posts, advertisements, etc and get users to your content.
These are some ways that you can use keywords to drive traffic and make money. The more the user finds your content by using those keywords, the more trustworthy your blog can become. Eventually, you can even make your website an authority blog for a particular keyword.

How to Make Money from Traffic Exchange Sites?

This post will explain how to make money from Traffic Exchange sites. Before I proceed with telling you how to make money from traffic exchange sites, first I will tell you what Traffic exchange sites are. Traffic Exchange sites basically allow members to exchange traffic among each other. I have given a detailed explanation below.

What are Traffic Exchange sites?

Traffic Exchange websites are sites that provide traffic to their members. Basically, after you sign up with them you can earn credits by browsing other member sites. For each website you are given a fixed amount of credit. Depending on the credits you have earned, the Traffic exchanger sends hits to your website when other members browse.

Advantages of Traffic Exchange Websites

The main advantage is that Traffic Exchangers can be considered as a way to bring traffic to your blog/website in the initial days when you require exposure. However, the disadvantage is that it is kind of time consuming. Otherwise, Traffic Exchangers are good way to generate hits to your website.

How to Earn Money from Traffic Exchangers?

In case you are not already aware it is also possible to earn some money from traffic exchangers. Your question must be how to do that. Well, the answer is that almost all Traffic Exchanger sites allow you to use or save your credits. The credits you earn by browsing other sites. Once you have accumulated a decent amount of credits, then it is possible to sell them.
Many people on Traffic Exchangers do not have time to browse and earn credits themselves, so what they do is purchase credits from others who browse. In return, they give the creditor some payment. The payment is generally a few dollars, the total you can earn is solely dependent on how many credits you can earn and sell.
There are many popular traffic exchange websites on the internet. Some of the most popular are Traffic Pods, Hit Pulse etc. You can try them out for a start.
Although you may not earn hundreds of dollars or so, for a start I feel that this is a good way to earn some money. Eventually, you can use this money to invest in domain names and such.
Hope you find this post useful. Have you tried traffic exchangers? Did you find it helpful when you used it? Tell others whether it is a feasible way to earn money online. If you want you can also share the amount of money that you were able to earn this way.

Apart from this Squidoo allows you to make use of the in-built function of adding eBay or Cafepress affiliate products. So it becomes easy for you, publish it on your lens and promote it. Even search engines might turn up with your lens for a particular keyword.
There are actually two ways in which you can earn money from the affiliate products using Squidoo lens. The first one is as mentioned above, by selling products through the in-built function that Squidoo offers to its webmasters. Squidoo offers a ton of choices for you to use as affiliate tools. There are many well-known brands such as Amazon, CafePress, iTunes, eBay and NetFlix. However, you will have to share a cut of the revenue earned from affiliate sales with Squidoo in case you make use of their in-built affiliate tools.
The second way is by linking to your own affiliate links using the lens. This method is much more preferable because you get to keep hundred percent of the revenue you make from your affiliate product sales. The only advantage of using the Squidoo’s in-built affiliate product functionality is the ease of setup.

Driving Traffic to Your Blog/Website

Squidoo can also be used to drive targeted traffic to your blog or website. When your lens is focused on a particular topic or niche, you can use it to drive traffic to your blog or in fact a squeeze page. That way the visitors to your website/blog through can become your readers or customers. If your visitor is landing on a Squeeze page you can even become successful at selling a great deal of affiliate products. Apart from that, you can add your website link with an anchor text. So when the Google spider crawls it – you get a back link. This can do a great deal in improving your Page Rank.

Become a part of the Squidoo Affiliate Program

When you sign up for Squidoo, you also get a chance to earn affiliate income when you make other join Squidoo. Whenever, someone signs up through your Squidoo affiliate link and makes the first $15 then both the affiliate and the person who signed up get credited with $5 into their account. This is a case where both the parties are beneficiaries unlike usual affiliate programs where only the affiliate seller gets paid. For example, you sign up using my Squidoo referral link then when you reach the $15 mark in earnings for the first time then I as well as you will earn $5. Basically, the advantage of the Squidoo affiliate is that it is easier to promote as the person signing up also has obvious advantages.
The main advantage of Squidoo is that it is super-simple and fun way to share your interests. Along with the fun, it is also a powerful way to make money online. The registration is totally free and easy to get started. Many lensmasters are making more than $1,000 a year from Squidoo. Some even make $10,000, while others are happy with $40 or $4.

Why Most Blogs Don’t Make Money Online

We all want to make money online. But unfortunately not every one is able to do it. But if every one was able to do it then what is the difference between you and the other person. It is important that you understand most blogs on the internet will never make any money online – because the fundamental concept of the blog is wrong.
Daily millions of blogs are created of which, may be one of them may get successful, generally, the ratio is even lower. This tells us that there is something that is genetically wrong in most blogs which are started. The proof to this is the millions and millions of dead blogs that are lying around in the internet – all of them have a few months worth of content. But then the blogger stopped updating them after the blog never earned him a dime.
There is no need to be de-motivated though, if your blog does not earn money online, all you need to do is make changes to your blog until it is a blog which makes money. This can be done from simply improving content to altogether changing the niche.
At the same time, the way to making sustainable and continuous money online is not scamming – as they never will pay you in the long run. Moreover, making money from pyramid schemes and other questionable methods is unethical.
However, the real trick to making money online is experimentation and determination. It is a well known fact that all blogs cannot make money in the same way. Some blogs can earn well from affiliate products while other may be more adept at roping in new members into your membership site- while others will be an asset for you in terms of sponsors and advertiser reviews. The way a blog makes money online will also depend on the blogger – as some bloggers are pathetic at selling affiliate products.
So once you get decent amount of traffic coming to your blog, then it is time you begin to ponder how you can make money out of it. You can do it by experimenting by different methods. First thing you can try is by suggesting your readers products which they can use – earning from affiliate commissions is one of the most rewarding and tough things you may do. If you are successful at it- great, otherwise gear up to sell your readers e-books or promote your membership website. Keep trying until you make money online.
Hope you learnt something new from this post. Do leave your comments.

SponsoredReviews: a real money making opportunity

As all of us know Sponsored Reviews is a paid review providing website where we can buy or sell reviews for or on our websites and blogs. In today’s post, I am going to talk about how to make money online with SponsoredReviews working as a blogger and will also share my experience I have with them.
Account creation on Sponsored Reviews

You must have an active blog with 3 months as its minimum age when you sign up as a blogger on SponsoredReviews.com. If you have a 3 months old blog with little traffic or few back-links, may get rejected here. So it will be in favor for you to submit your best blog here if you want to earn some real cash from them.
How to work as a blogger
Once you accept your blog into their marketplace, you are one step closer to making money with them. When we go to Manage Blogs section in our account on Sponsored Reviews, there is some Suggested Price range defined like $20 to $100 for every blog that we submit. This suggested price is calculated based on our website or blog link popularity, Technorati statistics and Alexa ranking.
So sign-in into your Sponsored Reviews account and start making bids on all open opportunities by browsing Find Advertisers section in your account. There are hundreds of opportunities available when you first logged-in into your account. So you can be selective about the kind of task you place your bids for. For every opportunity, there is some bidding amount you can place bids for and please keep your bidding amount below or equal to the maximum bidding amount allowed for a particular task. I would suggest you to test different set of bids and see which one works for you.
There will be certain advertisers who will be contacting you with a different price bid on some opportunities where you placed your bids earlier. It’s up to you to decide whether to accept their request, decline it or suggest some other price for that opportunity. Suppose you placed your bid as $40 on an opportunity with $60 as maximum bidding amount. And the advertiser is contacting you with a new price of $20. It’s up to you to decide whether you want to reject or accept this task or suggests some different price like $30 as your new bidding price.
Once any or some of your bids get acceptance from the advertisers, you should start writing about those tasks. You have to finish writing and submitting all accepted tasks within a week time from the date they were accepted by the advertisers.
Revenue Sharing & Payment System
They have revenue sharing system of 65:35 i.e. bloggers will be getting the 65 percent of total amount from a completed task and the test of 35 percent will be kept by Sponsored Reviews. They send payments to all bloggers into their paypal account. They make payments two times in a month, on the 15th and 1st of every month.
My experience with Sponsored Reviews.com
I started working as a blogger with them in the month of November last year. And I have been able to earn more than $1300 with them in this short period of time. I’m using Sponsored Reviews on two of my blogs only. So earning of $1300 from one network only in 10 months is not a small earning at all.
Click here to create a blogger account on SponsoredReviews If you also want to make money online writing paid reviews for hundreds of advertisers available on Sponsored Reviews. Please let me know in the comment section if you face in any problem in creating an account on this paid blogging website or have some doubts or questions about SponsoredReviews. Here is my earnings summary screenshot with them:

Should Bloggers Reveal Their Income Details?

It is the latest trend that is hitting bloggers, who are blogging to make money online. They do a monthly post on the income that they earned in the past month.  And income report kind of posts are published towards the beginning of a month by most bloggers. The income report is a total declassification of all the sources of income that the blogger has used. Although there are many bloggers who do this, there are also many bloggers who are hesitant to reveal all their sources of income. Make Money Online Guru John Chow is the best example of a pro-blogger who regularly reveals his monthly income – along with all the sources. So should you really share your income details with your readers?
If your blog is in the Make Money Online niche, then sharing your income details is a good idea. The Make Money Online niche is rather polluted by a lot of negative bloggers who are simply providing no value to readers. Also some blogs are more or less trying to fraud visitors. In such situations, revealing your income details to readers might seem like a good idea. The reason is that the information will seem to be coming from someone who is actually earning from what he preaches. Most Make Money Online niche blogs hardly earn any income themselves- still they go about teaching others how to make money off the internet.
Also I have noticed that revealing income details to other bloggers helps develop a lot of trust with them through the transparency. Letting your readers and peers know your sources of income simply displays the transparency that you maintain – it reflects on your personality that all your information is clean and effective.
When I see other bloggers who reveal their income details it is a source of inspiration for me. This is why you should also reveal your income details – so that countless other bloggers are also able to gain motivation from it. For doing so, you need not be earning a six-figure income; even a decent three-figure blogger can share his income details online. Since any ways most of his readers will be earning more than him. Either ways you are accomplishing the task of inspiring your readers to a better blogging career.
Sharing your sources of income and the amount earned from each source is the best way to show that you actually apply what you write. It calls your readers into your action and your content will become “expert advice”.
What do you think about sharing the income details of your blog? Let me know below.
