Some bloggers online only see dollar signs when they think of blogging. Some, like me, think of the readership and the content as being the most important things when blogging. I haven’t made anywhere near $50.00 since I’ve been blogging on my own hosted domains, but I’m still doing it. I’ve removed the nofollow from [...]

I was reading my RSS feeds and found through Kumiko’s Cash Quest, this nifty little tool for picking out html color codes, called AdesClrPicker. This neat tool will give you the code for anything on your screen. And I do mean anything. Just click activate and you are good to go. This is a really [...]

Here’s a familiar read for most of us, John Chow’s blog about how to make money online. It’s no wonder why John has so many readers, his blog will show you what ads work and what ads don’t. He also does ReviewMes, to which he is nothing short of brutally honest. He will link to [...]

The first edition of rewarding regular readers is here. Without further ado, I give to you these wonderful posts by regular commentators on this site: Angie has a great post over at SunCoastScribe about comments. Check that out! Donovan from BlogThatOutside talks about quitting smoking with Chantix, he’s on Day 8, congrats Donovan, you can [...]

Remember when Donovan guest posted those handy websites that bloggers shouldn’t do without? I hopped on over to WebsiteGrader to have a look around.

Be a Follower – Support the I Follow movement and install the DoFollow WordPress plugin. The DoFollow plugin removes the ‘nofollow’ attribute from the links in your comments. Encourage your readers to leave a comment on your site by offering them a backlink in return for their opinion. Give Credit Where Credit is Due – [...]

The use of a picture alone may say a thousand words, but the use of an image or two with some meaningful content draws the reader in. Think of it like this: Playboy is a very popular gentleman’s magazine, and sure the guys read the content, but it’s a proven fact that they are drawn [...]

I found this link from SunCoastScribe, detailing how we can get our names in the hat for a free theme redesign. How nifty would that be? While I’ve been hiding out lurking over at wpdesigner trying to figure out how to make my own theme, this might be a good idea for those of us [...]

If a blog has a nifty top commentators thing to keep track of top visits, then that’s just like free press. I don’t remember where I saw this, but it’s still a really useful idea when commenting on other people’s blogs. When commenting, instead of putting your real name in the name box, put something [...]

While there are varied opinions on when to start monetizing your blog, I’m going with starting early. I recently emailed Darren Rowse of Problogger, to see what his opinion on the matter is. His response: My theory is to start early – that way your readers don’t suddenly find you hitting them with ads once [...]
