I have been having a little trouble coming up with articles to write for the new niche I’m working. I have written a couple of articles, but having trouble coming up with more. So I’m looking into some software to give me a little help. I have been doing research on article writing software and article spinners.
I recently learned that it might not be a good idea to put the same article as is on all the article directories it could cause you to get a Google slap down. Some say it’s okay to have duplicate content on article directories because Google looks at it as syndication, others say Google looks at it as duplicate content and will choose which article directory to index your article from.
I don’t know which one to believe so I plan to use an article spinner to make my articles look different from directory to directory. There are a couple of programs I’m thinking about using to write articles and spin my articles. I will tell you about them later this week.

I recently had four articles approved for publishing at Associated Content, three of which I was paid for. All four articles are eligible for their performance payment also. But the best thing about the articles I submitted is that they were articles I had already written for niches I was marketing.
I just took the articles for niches I was doing article marketing for, change them some, changed the title and submitted them. Since Associated Content doesn’t pay that much for articles especially if they’re not exclusive, I didn’t have much time spent on writing a fresh article.
This is another way you can make money online with your article marketing efforts.

Last week I got my second payment from Google Adsense. This time it took several months to reach the payout amount of $100. However, the first time it took about a year to reach the payout amount. My plan is to keep closing the gap between payments so that I’m getting a payment every month.
The best way to do that is to keep building websites and putting Google Adsense ads on them and targeting high paying keywords. Do some article marketing to get targeted traffic to the sites and you have a winning combination.

This is week I will be concentrating on writing articles for my new niche so I won’t be posting much this week. I’m trying something different with this niche than I’ve done with the other niches I have worked on that should help me make money online.
Besides using Blogger as my website, I’m using Squidoo Lenses as landing pages for a couple of affiliate products. I think Squidoo Lenses make good landing pages because they are just one page and unlike Hub Pages, you can have affiliate links on them.
You just setup your lens giving a little information about your affiliate product, add links to the product and let it take it from there. Since Google loves Squidoo also this can help get search engine traffic.
This is just an experiment and I’ll let you know how it turns out. You may want to try it yourself. It might help you to make money online.

The only way to make money online is with targeted traffic. It doesn’t matter what you’re selling or if you’re just trying to make money through Google Adsense, you need targeted traffic. Targeted traffic is more apt to buy what you are selling or click an ad to get more information.
What is targeted traffic? Targeted traffic is traffic that is absolutely looking for whatever your niche is. Targeted traffic is traffic that has a need or a want for your product, service or information, that’s how you make money online. So, how do you get targeted traffic?
In my opinion the best ways to get targeted traffic is one, make your website or blog search engine friendly, that means good SEO tactics. You want the search engines to not only find your site, but also place it high in the search results. This is important because that’s where your targeted traffic is going to find you. Remember these people are absolutely looking for your niche.
Another good way to get targeted traffic is by commenting on blogs that are in the same or similar niches that you are in. These blogs have traffic that is obviously interested in your niche and may want to see what you have on the subject and so will click your link from the comment.
Last but certainly by no means least, is submitting articles you have written or had written to article directories. People only read articles because they are very interested in the subject. Most people are not going to waste their time reading something they just have a passing interest in. Article directories allow you to leave a link in the author’s resource box and that’s where you get your targeted traffic.
Targeted traffic means ultra interested people looking for what you have, which means in one way or another you can make money online.
I have chosen my next niche and I am working on the website. But I’m doing something a little different this time. I am using Blogger as my website. I’m doing this for few reasons. One is as an experiment to see if it can be done, it’s another way to have a free website and make money online and it will give me a chance to make money from Money4Banners by putting their banners on another site.
I will tell you how I transformed a Blogger blog into a website in a minute, first I want to give the stats on the new niche I’m working.
Competition: 27,600 Estimated Daily Searches: 100 Cost per Click: $.90-$4.15
Okay, lets look at how I transformed a Blogger blog into a website. First of all, I didn’t want to use the templates that Blogger has to create my website because there would be to many look alike sites out there. I wanted my site to be somewhat unique so I chose a template from FinalSense. You can use the Blogger templates if you wish. FinalSense has lots of free templates that people have created and they integrate easily with Blogger.
All you have to do is copy the HTML code you get for the template you choose, create a blog at Blogger, choose a template then go to layout then edit HTML, replace that code with the new code, save and you’re ready to go.
Now lets make the blog a website. First set the blog up to have just one post on the main page. Then get rid of all the elements that makes the blog look like a blog like the archive, date and time stamp, comments field and other blog stuff. If you know what kind of links you’re going to have you can setup you’re elements in the sidebar like your main links like maybe home page, about page contact page, etc.
Maybe you want to have articles on your site. Setup an articles list element and list the articles you have on your site. Setup all of your site links by doing posts. You want to make your homepage the last post you do because as you know the post you do is what people see when the come to your blog.
The one problem with this method is you can’t add any more pages to the site once you have done your homepage post because once you add another post that will become your home page. So it is very important to have everything thought out before you start you site and ad the home page.
That’s it, that’s how you transform a free Blogger blog into a free website that you can make money online from. I hope you give this a try and that this post has helped.

Today I will start looking for a new niche to promote to make money online, this time specifically with an affiliate product in mind. I will still try to target a high paying keyword for Google Adsense ads.
Right now I want to tell you about another program I use to make money online. I just got my first check from Inbox Dollars and you can see it below.
Inbox Dollars is a sister site of SendEarnings, which is owned by the same company. At Inbox Dollars you get paid to read e-mails, do surveys, play games and sign-up for offers. As you can see there is plenty of ways to earn money there. I basically just earn from the e-mails and the surveys.
You also get a $5 sign-up bonus so go to Inbox Dollars and sign-up.

Although from time to time I plan to do more promoting for the niche I have been working in this series, for now I am finished with it and will let it work for me now. I will be doing updates on this niche to see if it was a good one to make money online with.
I will now move on to another niche. My plan is to do something a little different. I plan to use a blog as my website for the niche. As you know you can make a blog for free so this is another thing to add as a way to make money online for free. Well, lets look at what I did working the new niche I was working in this series.
First of all I had to choose a niche keyword or phrase that had the criteria needed to make it worth trying. The keyword had to be high paying, have a good amount of searches and low competition. In order to do the research on the keywords and phrases I used a few tools.
Next I built the website using what I know about SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The SEO will help my niche mini-site place well in the search engines. The content of the site had to contain the keyword phrase that I was targeting. The content on my niche site was articles, videos and reviews, all keyword rich.
With the niche mini-site finished I then had to promote it. The main promotion I wanted to do was article marketing. All of the Internet gurus swear by article marketing and an experiment I did with another mini-niche site proved to me that article marketing works. Article marketing does two things. It gets you targeted traffic to your website and backlinks for it as well.
After submitting my articles to article directories and having them approved, I then social book marked the articles and the website at place like Stumbleupon, Digg, Del.icio.us, Reddit and other bookmarking sites. I used Social Poster and Socialmarker to do my bookmarking. I want to say that you could stop your promotion at article marketing and do well, but I like to give my promotion an extra boost.
Continuing with promoting my niche mini-site, I created some Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses that I put links to my website on. This is another way to get traffic and backlinks for the site. You can also make money online from Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses from eBay and Amazon ads.
The last thing I did to promote my niche mini-site is commenting on blogs with a PR (Page Rank) of 3 or better as well as commenting on forums and other people’s Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses. When commenting in these venues you can leave a link to your site giving you more backlinks.
I hope this series was helpful in giving you an idea of how to make money online by niche marketing. You can do this without spending any money of your own if you wish. If you missed any part of this series just Click Here to catch every part.

Yesterday I made a couple of Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses for my new niche, now comes the last step in marketing my niche, which is commenting on high PR blogs and forums. Another thing I will be doing is commenting on other people’s Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses.
Commenting gives you the chance to leave a link to your niche mini-site, which will get you more traffic and backlinks. All of this is free to do and helps you make money online. When commenting you must make sure that where you are commenting is relevant to your niche. You also want to make sure you use your target keyword or phrase as your text link. Avoid using banners or graphics in your signature on forums.
When commenting on blogs you want to make sure they have a Page Rank of at least 3 and where they ask for information like your name and URL, use your target keyword as your name that way it will be the link to your site. The search engines will see this as a relevant backlink and that will help move your site up in the search results for that keyword.
Other ways to promote your niche mini-site is by starting your own blog on your niche subject, make a video and put it on YouTube and other video sites, Twitter it, get a Myspace and Facebook presence and put ads on free ad directories. Use as many ways as you can to promote your niche mini-site to get traffic, backlinks and make money online.

The next step in my promotion of my new niche mini-site is to make some Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses. Both of these sites can not only get you some targeted traffic to your website, but can also help you make money online. With both sites you have the opportunity to make money from eBay and Amazon with widgets placed on the sites and with Hub Pages you can half of the Google Adsense revenue made from your pages.
I will put a link to my niche mini-site on my Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses, which will boost the site up the search engines. Once the Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses are done I will also social bookmark them, which will get more traffic to them and hopefully more traffic to my niche mini-site.
Another way I plan to use Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses in the future to make money online is as the main source for a niche instead of building a website. Google already loves Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses so I will take advantage of that.
Continuing with the promoting of my new niche mini-site to make money online, I will do some social bookmarking. Now that I have put up some articles at article directories I will bookmark them along with the website itself at social bookmarking sites like Digg, Stumbleupon, Propeller, Twitter and others.
Social bookmarking the articles and website will not only drive traffic to them, but also give them backlinks from high PR sites and push them higher up on the search engines, which will drive even more traffic to them as well as more targeted traffic thus helping you make money online.
I use two sites to do my social bookmarking, Social Poster and Socialmarker. These sites have a list of high-ranking bookmarking sites to bookmark your sites at. If you haven’t done so you’ll have to register to the each site.
After you have registered to each bookmarking site use Social Poster and Socialmarker to start posting to them. You fill in the information for your site like URL, keywords, title and description and as you go through and post your site to the bookmarking sites that information, for the most part is automatically filled in for you saving you lots time.
Social bookmarking is just another way to promote your niche mini-site and help you to make money online.
On another note I was approved for Platinum membership at EzineArticles I can now submit an unlimited number of articles there.

My not-so-mini niche mini-site is done and up and has some affiliate products on it. I call this a not-so-mini mini-site because I did more work on it than I should have. I have videos with separate pages, different product pages and review pages. However I was able to escape doing article pages by using an RSS feed from Amazines an article directory. I won’t be doing that much work on my next mini-site.
Now that my niche mini-site is done it’s time to do the promoting. I’m starting of with article marketing. Article marketing has proven to be an affective way of getting targeted visitors to your website. It is also a great way to get backlinks for your website not only from article directories, but also from other websites that may put your articles on their websites. Any website that uses your article is obligated to add your author resource box with the article which should have a link to your website.
I have written 4 articles and have already started submitting to the article directories. I have used up my basic membership at EzineArticles and have applied for the Platinum membership, which is also free. I’ll have to wait until I hear from EzineArticles before I can submit any more articles to them.
Here is a list of article directories I have submitted to and ones I will submit to.
Some of these article directories post your article immediately, some you have to wait for approval. After I hit all the article directories I’ll do some other marketing techniques.

I have finished my niche mini-site except for the two pages where I plan to put affiliates products on. Right now I waiting to see what affiliate programs I get approved for if any. Meanwhile I’m writing articles for the niche since promoting will be my next step.
Once I get affiliate approval and I am able to finish the last two pages of the site and upload it, I will do some article marketing as well as blog commenting and forum stuff. I will also continue the “Make Money Online Niche Marketing” series letting you know step by step what I am doing. I will keep you up to date on what’s happening until then.
