Make Money Online

On the weekend I went with CT to PodCamp Montreal and was amazed to learn about the challenges that bloggers faced when monetizing their blogs. For many bloggers, their dialogue is their brand, their identity, and they have an intense passion about their content area that they wish to share with a select few or few hundred readers (or plus plus ) on a regular basis. As a group, their passion for their craft instills them with this integrity to do the right thing and be transparent with their community of readers. This sense of community was inspiring.

In sessions and out in the halls there was contention and debate over if, why, how, should a blogger monetize their site. In most blogs, it is natural for bloggers to mention products and services related to their content area. As such, it would be reasonable to be paid or endorsed for promoting a product or service that was a natural fit for your blog. In the cases where this was a reasonable assumption, bloggers felt the need to let their audience know that they had received a product sample and found it to be a good product to use, which would allow their user base to understand why they were writing about it.

Conversely, some bloggers are strictly about their own content. Nothing is more outrageous for a blogger than being approached by some thoughtless marketing machine approaching them with products that do not suit their blog and community. Or worse still, one that offers them compensation that is not reflective of their time and community influence.

Really, in my mind the happy medium is affiliate marketing. Bloggers can continue to talk about products in their blogs, and if that product has an affiliate program then they can make money by sending traffic to that site.

This is not a unique thought by any stretch of the imagination. Just today I read an article from the BBC by a reporter that just went to Blog World in Vegas. The theme of the article was Making Money from Blogging, and the main conclusion was to do so through affiliate marketing.

There will be many bloggers who will not be interested in making money from their blog. But for those that want to explore this option a little more, they should check out the following resources.

I was planning on going to one of the other sessions after the keynote, but decided to attend this one when I saw that Darren Rowse of ProBlogger was on the panel of the Making Money Online with a Blog session.  Since I have read ProBlogger for some time I really wanted to hear what he had to say.  I originally overlooked this session as I have heard John Chow, Shoemoney and Zach Johnson speak before and I didn’t see how their niche would help out my partners, not many of which write content in the same area as they. 

I’m glad I attended this session.  Originally, Jeremy Shoemaker was not in attendance, but after moderator Jim Kukral asked every one to direct tweet “Shoemoney Sucks” to Jeremy, he ended up showing up.  It was pretty entertaining when he walked in.

Overall, the information shared by each of the panelist was fantastic.  No one seemed to hold back and each had substantial information to contribute.  Right out of the gate, gems were shared.  Jim started with a question:  “What is the #1 thing you have done that made you the most money?”   Chow responded that moving from network advertising to a direct sales approach made the biggest difference to him.  Darren Rowse echoed these remarks.  The change in income was substantial, each said.  Zach Johnson said that consistently building your brand was the most important and Brian Clark stated that his biggest success was actually selling to the audience instead of advertising or marketing to them.  Brian discussed the concept of understanding your audience and finding the things that they want to purchase.  In his case it was starting a membership based site (www.teachingsells.com), and a site that sells Wordpress themes.  There are other ways to make money online then your standard advertising model, and Brian made that clear.

There was so many other things shared, allow me to give you a list here (by no means is this list comprehensive):

• Email, Email, Email:  email is a necessary way to market to your readers.  Go beyond the feedshare “subscribe via email” and produce a weekly newsletter.  Everyone discussed Aweber as a great tool for this.
• Launch phase of your blog is at least 2 years.  Darren shared that he still considers his digital photography blog in its launch phase after 2 years.  These things take time to build up, don’t become discouraged after a few months or even 18.  Keep at it and build good content.
• Adsense is “webmaster welfare”.
• In order to market better to your readers, analyze your search traffic to see what they are searching for and write content, when appropriate, to those terms.
• Selling advertising directly means that you control the relevance of the ads to your content and to your readers and allows you to earn more.
• If you are looking to sell ads directly, use OIO Publisher for Wordpress.

One of the more important notes of the session came from John
Chow who said “write for people, not Google”.  I’ll leave you with that.
