Well, friends the time has come.
Finally, I have decided to delve into the realm of paid advertising. For those of you that have been following my many Ralph Cramden-like escapades, you will have noticed that I have put my heart and soul into many different ways to communicate my great product(s) to the outside world.
Although the money is coming in.... it's not the river rush, but more of a trickling stream.
Today I am joining the "advertise on Facebook" bandwagon.
Here's what I liked about setting up my ad's... It was easy, and it can be as inexpensive as I like.
Today I set up 2 ads, both ads will run for 1 week. Both ads will cost me no more than $2.00 a day.
It will be interesting to see if that little ad will open the flood gates (as I hope), to the mad rush of incoming cash!
My current pet project is making money from blogging.
I have this report, I purchased it, it is AWESOME! I have been blogging for 4 years and I thought I knew everything there was to know about blogging and how to turn a profit doing it... but this report was fantastic and really put me on a different track.
It was worth every penny... and it was incredibly cheap! Click here for more info
But this blog entry isn't a sales pitch for the "Blogging to the Bank" program, even though it changed my blogging life... This blog entry is all about my experiment advertising on Facebook.
Today, I am going to experiment further... by placing an ad for a friend of mine that runs a Closet Organization Company, it will be interesting to see if 'work from home' guide will draw more clients then a physical product like Closet Experts. Hmmmmmmm
I will keep you posted.
3/22/09 is the end of the Facebook Campaign and I will share with you my statistics and the outcome of my first ever venture into advertising on Facebook.
Wish me luck!

Choosing Your Blog Topic - and Making Money
Choosing your blog topic is easy.
Choosing a blog topic that will make you money..... not so easy.
Here are some tips.
#1) Write about something that you enjoy. I put this first, because... well, it's 4:58 am right now, it's important to me to be excited and WANT to write in my blog. I have several blogs and each morning I pick which topic I feel motivated to write about. Why did I pick this topic... Well, I enjoy looking for new ways to make money from home.. and I enjoy sharing that information. My friends are a little tired of me constantly trying to tell them about these great opportunities... so, that's where you come in... my extended circle of friends! :)
#2) Write about something you know. Let's face it... I may enjoy airplane rides... but I don't really know ANYTHING about airplanes. This also ties back into writing about what you enjoy, you are going to have to do a certain amount of research. Perhaps googling your topic in the morning to get ideas... or checking other industry specific resources... Unless your topic is your family... or (in my sister's case) her backyard garden... then you may have to do some research
#3) Third party content. I never thought about this when I first started blogging, but my readers are happy that I eventually did... Sometimes I access third party content that is related to my topic... it gives that particular entry the different voice that is required to keep people interested. Of course, you have to have permission to reprint someone else's materials, but if your topic is popular there will be other means for putting together the daily entries that are required to keep your blog popular
#4) Popularity. Many blogs are found by chance... if your topic is too popular, you will be buried pages and pages down from the initial search, if your topic is too obscure, very few people will be searching for it... It's a fine line, start with doing some searches of your topic. Go to Blogcatalog.com and see what the most popular blogs are being written about...
#5) Affiliates. As I've pointed out before, a great way to make money with blogging is by attaching affiliate advertising to your blog. These are links that will pay you a percentage if someone clicks through and purchases the product. There are a couple of different ways to locate affiliates in your topics... and I will go over them in a later article, but for a sneak peak at some popular affiliates you can go to www.sharpstarters.com a page devoted to "Money Making affiliates"
...yawn... only 3 more blogs to go! I love this job.
Have a great day!

How to Make Money Blogging
How to make money blogging, this article is courtesy of Rob Benwell, you can check out his ebook for more info.
There are two ways of making money blogging, one more profitable than the other. First of all, small business owners find a great advantage in the use of blogs that provide rich informational content and the opportunity for great marketing promotions. But let's take a look at how you can turn blogging into a profitable activity. There are two possibilities: you either get paid for allowing other business owners to advertise on your site or you can include the blog in one of the many affiliate programs that enjoy such a popularity on the Internet nowadays.
In case you choose to exploit the advertising potential of your blog, the best program to work with is Google Adsense; you'll get paid every time an ad on your site gets clicked, regardless of whether this action converts into profit or not. The logical question that may rise here is: how can you get more clicks for the ads on the blog? Don't think about clicking your own ads to make some more money; fraud clicks are a very hot subject in the business, and Google teams are very efficient at identifying them. Such dishonest practice could cost you dearly if you dare to use it.
You can increase the profitability of the ads on your blog by taking advertising into consideration when you design the site. For instance, the fonts and colors used for the ads should be only slightly different from the rest of the page, without standing out. Why? Because the more visible you make them, the more likely it is that they'll annoy the user, and the entire purpose of your blog is to get people to spend quality time on the page. Adsense is a program that displays only those ads that are related to the domain the blog tackles with, so that you cannot complain about too large a number of irrelevant visitors.
Last, but not least, you can use the blog as part of an affiliate program, which involves promoting the products or services of a specific business. For instance if you've got a blog dealing with diving, you can very well turn into an affiliate for a company that sells diving equipment. The amount of money you are supposed to get is usually part of the individual agreement you sign with the other party, and it usually depends on how well you manage to use the blog to actually convince people to purchase one of the products. Friendly links, special discounts, promotions and e-news letters are all part of an affiliate campaign that could turn a simple blog into a great revenue generator.

Administer a Web Business from Home: $4000 per month
A successful e-commerce venture is seeking a part-time virtual assistant to act
