In theory that’s going to make you great money… and it can.

But the truth is there is a way to earn up to an additional 25% more from your website – without doing ANY extra work on your part – and squeeze extra revenue from every post by adding JUST ONE LINE OF JAVASCRIPT to your website.

Here’s how we do that as customers of IntentClick, the company that enables our In-text links.

You just sign up, grab your personalized code, plug it into the footer of your website and you have created an entirely new income stream that automatically adds text links to keywords in your blog posts.

Why should you consider this…

1) You need to maximize the revenue of your blog. That’s just common sense.

2) Not all PPC Advertising is created “equal”.

Did you know that the text block ads like Google are mainly attractive to unsophisticated readers or people just searching for information? That means that people who actually come to your blog to READ it are less likely to be producing revenue for you. Isn’t it a bit insane to work like a dog to build up READERSHIP when that could actually be reducing your revenues somewhat because the more serious readers aren’t there for the ads?

How do you attempt to resolve that issue? Text links targeted to your blogs content are the type of ads most likely to reach the serious readers are reward your WRITING!

You really need a variety of ads to reach a variety of customers most serious professional bloggers have found.

3) Automated linking must be involved. The script does all the linking… you don’t have to insert a link in the first place or CHANGE the link when the offer expires. Any longstanding blog will have thousands of such links and changing them is impossible unless they auto-update.

4) Guaranteed payouts are essential. “CPA” offers are a shot in the dark usually. They pay when an action is taken, but frankly, you just want to be paid when people click usually. IntentClick offers a GUARANTEED MINIMUM PAYOUT of 7 cents per click plus more for clicks that “convert”. That sounds fair to me!

5) TARGETED offers keep your readers happy. If someone comes to your website because they are interested in having a Better Income or Saving Money, they probably don’t want to see offers about distracting if not insulting products (you likely know what I mean). Because Intent Click only works with qualified blogs focused on people wanting improved income, they make sure your readers see offers that jibe with your site’s themes!

If you want to stop letting money slip through your fingers, consider checking Intent Click for the best payout from every blog post!

We chose IntentClick for our blog… if you’re an income related or money saving blog, you may be leaving money on the table if you don’t investigate this option thoroughly!

Note: Thanks to Intent Click for sponsoring our blog today. We are satisfied customers and you can see their text links on our pages!

Is it every possible to automate writing and not produce 110% manure?

Possibly.

But it won’t be cheap.

Here’s how one programmer learned to do Automated Writing.

And here’s a summary of his opinion… automation can write about facts and figures… otherwise human writers need to intervene:

A common, and funny, question I get from journalists is: “when will you automate me out out of a job?” I find the question humorous because built into the question is the assumption that if our software can write the perfect story on a particular topic, then no one else should attempt to write about it. That’s just not going to happen. What’s happening instead is that media companies are using our software to help scale their businesses. Initially, that takes the form of generating stories on topics a media outlet didn’t have the resources to cover. In other cases, it means putting our stories through an editorial process that customizes the content to the specific needs of the publisher. You still need humans for that. There will be less of a need for folks to spend their time writing purely quantitative pieces, but that should be liberating. Now, they can focus on more qualitative, value-added commentary that humans are inherently good at. Quantitative stories can — and probably should — be mostly automated because computers are better at that.

Bottom Line: It’s not as easy as you think. In the end YOU have to add your content to what a computer churns out. It’s that simple.

How? This writer used interviews done on his iPhone.

Home businesses are a tempting venture for a lot of people. They offer a level of freedom and flexibility that other forms of employment simply cannot match; but with a home business also comes many unique responsibilities that need to be tackled in their own unique way. For example, when working from home it can be more difficult to remain focused on the task at hand – especially if there are other people in the house.

Luckily, this problem is easily remedied with some good self-discipline. Another core issue is how to stay productive and, more importantly, profitable – especially when there is so much competition from larger companies. There are lots of ways to make your home business stand out, but one of the best is to give customers a reason to come back to your website. And what better reason for a return visit than a brand new blog post?

Content is king

If you’ve never run a blog before, you might wonder what possible benefit it could have on your home business, least of all its productivity. Well, the key here is that fresh content posted on a regular basis will do two things: one, it will boost your search rankings; and two, it will keep your client base (both existing and potential) engaged with your business. People tend to bookmark blogs and check them on a regular basis, so if you can keep the content coming, your visitors will too. One of the key phrases on the web is ‘content is king’ – and it’s very true. The most successful sites are those that stay updated; likewise the most successful home businesses are those that keep their clients engaged.

Fishing for new business with keywords

So how exactly will a blog help your home business productivity increase? Well, first of all, you’ll need to keep writing about your business and its industry, which is productive in itself. Plus, a blog should bring natural traffic to your website (if its keywords are chosen carefully) which you can then convert into new business, which again is productive. When choosing blog topics, try to do the right level of keyword research. Discover niches that relate to your business and exploit them. This will help you encourage natural traffic. Having a blog really is a win-win situation. Plus, there are lots of blog writers out there who will be happy to create the content for you – so you can sit back and watch the enquiries pour in! Hills and valleys Whether your home business helps people find the best credit cards or it sells top quality golf shoes, you’ll no doubt fall victim to the ebbs and flows of business. This means that you go through various ups and downs as a business – with some months being non-stop and others being a little quieter. The great thing about running a blog is that it is a consistent source of productivity for your business. To keep your content fresh and up-to-date, you need to post new blog posts roughly once a week, so no matter what month of the year it is, your home business will always have something to do. And you never know – the boost in traffic that your blog brings in could easily be the source of a lucrative new contract that takes the business from the depths of a valley to the peak of a mountain!

There really is no downside to having a blog to complement your home business. If you already have a website (which you likely do), then you already have everything you need to launch a blog – it only takes a few moments to install a blog platform like WordPress, and there are countless guides all over the web that you can follow, After that, all you need is to dedicate a bit of time to the creation of the content (and even that you don’t need to do yourself). So in many ways a blog can be a godsend for your home business – and of course it’s also a great way to keep up with the times! And we haven’t even started on social networking yet…

It turns out  you may already be covered for a certain amount of insurance for claims of “Personal Injury” under your renter’s or homeowner’s insurance.

The other option is adding an “Umbrella liability policy” …  but check out the article for more details and be sure to inquire of your property and casualty insurance agent.

And, I suppose, try not to make too many people mad!

Alec Baldwin courtesy FoxNews

A while back I blogged about how AOL’s plan to maximize money and traffic. Basically it was about AOL’s aim to make stories the most “search engine” and “people” friendly at the same time. You know the news business, “man bites dog” stories are news and if a man didn’t bite the dog, at least raise the possibility in the headline.

Actually DOING what your bosses told you at AOL might get you fired though.

Here’s his headline: “Jim Parsons Won An Emmy – But Got A Rude Message From Loser Alec Baldwin”

As a result, the free lance AOL Blogger Says He Was Fired for Angering Alec Baldwin

“I feel bad about the title,” Miller tells FOX411.com . “AOL wanted attention-getting titles, it didn’t really have to relate to the content, so the title I wrote was sort of purposely misleading. It was meant to be a joke, because the article itself was jokey. I didn’t know Alec Baldwin worked for us, and it was one of eight to ten articles that I had written that day.”

Miller was put “on notice” and then fired.

Rule of thumb for freelance writers…. always do what your employers say to the letter unless, of course, it’s not really what they’d want and it will get your fired. If you’re not sure, consult a tea leaf or crystal ball because they really wanted what they said unless, of course, it would make them look bad.

I guess “CYA” about covers it!

If you’re wondering how to make your blog take off and your results don’t seem to be paying off… consider this…

ProBlogger today asks… Is It Time To Hit The Reset Button On Your Blog?

Did you know that most professional bloggers weren’t successful with their first blogs? This list includes Darren Rowse, Jon Morrow, and Johnny Truant.

With so much to learn in the first year, it’s almost impossible to start a successful blog on the first try.

But you also learn a lot in that first year. You learn how to write better posts and how to craft compelling headlines. You learn how to use Facebook and Twitter for promotion, and how to work the technical side of WordPress or Blogger or whatever platform you’re using.

After a year of blogging, you’ve got a lot invested in your blog. If things are going rough 12 months, it’s not time to quit just yet.

So what should you do instead?

Their suggestions?

Basically you need to decide if a “facelift” or minor tweaking will do.. or whether a heart transplant is in order.

Are things working some? Or not at all? Are you partly happy but just need better results? Or are you still working from scratch except you know how to post using your blogging software now?

If the former, it may just take a BIT more energy. But even if it’s the latter case, things may not be hopeless…

You can read it all at:

Is It Time To Hit The Reset Button On Your Blog?

Well, here’s the story behind it and how you can apply the same insights to your work online!

It’s from Markus Allen –

Get this…

… Yesterday Richard Cole stole one of my ideas (with permission) and quickly launched a blog last January.

It has a total of just 47 words on it.

The blog simply reveals the Canandian Post Offices’ hours of operation.

And yesterday, he banked $9.18 in AdSense cash.

If this keeps up, he’s going to watch his bank account increase $3,350.70 a year… every year.

Not bad… not bad for about 15 minutes of work, eh?

But here’s the best part – he’s doing ALL of the wrong things!

The title of his post stinks.

The layout of his blog stinks.

The format of his Adsense ads stinks.

With a few tweaks, I’m betting he could rake in over $100.00 a day in AdSense cash.

This is why I LOVE blogging (and you should, too)…

… I created a formula to create cash on demand with a FREE blog.

And I’m revealing this formula starting 71 minutes on my teleconference at 12 p.m. (NY time).

Minutes after this teleconference, you’re going to push a few buttons and have precisely-targeted traffic RUSH to your site.

This is the story of how I accidentally became a professional blogger and started Dane Carlson’s Business Opportunities Weblog. This tale has been a long time coming, because it’s not really something I ever wanted to share. I was always afraid that if I told my startup story I’d just create more competition for myself and everyone would find out how I fell into my business without any planning or foresight. But, I’ve been at this for a nearly a decade and have pointed to and written about thousands of other entrepreneurs and their startup stories. If it was all right for me to share their startup experiences, it’s now my turn to share mine. I just hope that my experiences and foibles will be helpful to others.

Ten years ago when I told people that I was a blogger, no one had any idea what I was talking about. Even me. Today, not much has really changed. Many still don’t quite understand what I do, but I do, and that’s all that matters. I still struggle with explaining my business and sometimes just say that I work on the Internet or am a writer. But that’s not really true. I actually went through a phase were I was very upset that I couldn’t explain to people what I did and just wanted to quit and become a plumber or something because at least everyone understood what that was.

In late 1997, I’d been surfing the Internet for about four years when I discovered a new method of publishing called “weblogging”. At the time it was just a very small niche hobby, that only acquired a name in December of that year.
