Are You Feeling Uncomfortable, That’s Good

Shanker Bakshi — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:06:17 +0000

Actually we all keen to live an easy life. We always love to create a very cozy comfort zone around us, we feel bumpy if someone ask us do anything which falls beyond our comfort zone. This habit of being always living in comfort zone never makes you push yourself to do extraordinary things or to do things in extraordinary ways.

You never try those “New Scary Things”, you never push yourself hard. You start thinking that there so many things that you never been able to do in life, there are certain big things in this world which are not made for you, it’s ultimately end up living an ordinary life.

How to come out of that comfort zone? And why it is important?

Well I am nobody to ask you to come out of your comfort zone, but I know that you always wanted to do certain things which you are not doing right now, aren’t you? Do you feel that you are not made to do those things which you are doing at present? Are you feeling uncomfortable with your present situation? It’s good for you because this discomfort will help you to get out of your comfort zone and do the things which you really love to do.

Have you heard about this theory of “shooting for the moon”? Steven K Scott is a great mentor, philosopher and thinker; he explains this theory and believes that one way that you can force yourself come out of this comfort zone is to aim too high, instead of setting “realistic” goals. Set “impossible” goals, that is, goals that push you totally out of your comfort zone.

This seems to be a crazy thing at first place but if you do this you will soon realize that it’s the best thing that you can do to achieve incredible success. I want to share this with you that since the time I have adopted this theory I have seen amazing improvement in my blogging business. It has made a huge difference in my prosperity. Things which were appear to be impossible once now become handy. The dreams which were beyond reach are now getting closer and closer. Hit the bull eyes, living the dream. Test this theory and share your experience too.

What is Blogging and How Bloggers Make Money from Blogging?

Shanker Bakshi — Sun, 24 May 2009 08:48:50 +0000

Back to the Basics

Whenever someone come across to my blogging thing or whenever I tell someone that I am a blogger and write a make money online blog, then surprisingly a question mark immediately appears on their faces, hands goes up and a little shout “what the hell blogging is, I still don’t know what you are doing man”. Ha Ha, Blogging is still not very popular on India. The next important question they ask to me is “are you making money out of it?’. Actually in India we believe in doing everything for money, and if it isn’t for money we Indian consider it as waste of time.

So I’m trying to explain here what blogging is and how we make money from our blogs. It’s a efforts to introduce blogging and making money from blogging to a newbie and a journey back to the basic for those who are already blogging and making money out it.

What is a blog?

A blog is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries called blog posts consist of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order.

It means:

A blog is a specific website
These are organize by writing articles called blog posts
Blogs usually maintained by Individual persons
Posts are displayed in reverse chronological order i.e. most recent post at the top.
Each blog posts can become a discussion to comments left by its readers

From year 2003 more then 113 millions blogs have been created worldwide. The big deal about blogs is that each individual works as a news media source, express his or her opinion which is read by a high number of a small community. Its now has become a powerful tool to convey your voice and reach a large audience. Most blog readers are other bloggers of similar interest who reads, comments and links each others blogs. A celebratory blogger can now interact with his/her fans through a blog.

A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important feature of blogs.

How to start a blog?

[1] You can start your own blog for free as there are so many websites which provides you space to create and maintain your very own blog. There is not much of technical or web designing skill required for creating and maintaining a free blog with these sites. Two most popular website which offer free blogging space are:

Blogger.com

WordPress.com

[2] If you decide to blog but don’t want to use free blog services like blogger.com or WordPress.com then you can setup your blog on a remote host by buying web space form any hosting company, install a blogging software available at WordPress.org, Joomla, Drupal, etc and start blogging. No doubt you need some technical skill to install and setup blogs on a self hosted space. The basic difference between a self hosted blog and a free blogs are:

If you chosen a free service then your blog URL would be something like www.yourblog.wordpress.com or www.yourblog.blogspot.com whereas in self hosted blog you can buy any domain of your choice. Like this blog is setup on a self hosted space using WordPress blogging software.

In a free blogging site you probably not have much control over designing and look of your blog and would have to choose your design from free generic theme or templates available by free blogging service. While in a self hosted blog you can adopt various themes and design to give unique look to your blog.

If you are blogging to make it a business then free blogging sites will not help you a lot as you would not have much control over selling ad space and monetizing your blog.

How to make money from blogging?

Now the second question how bloggers make money from blogging. But First I want to make it clear that there are various ways you can make money from “internet” but I’m giving you only means to make money from blogging.

[2] Google AdSense

This is the most popular and easy way to make money from blogging. You just need to register with google AdSense program, submit your blog to google for approval and then if they approve your blog for AdSense program then you need to paste Google AdSense codes at space where you want to show Google AdSense ads. Google AdSense display targeted Google ads on your website’s content pages and earn from valid clicks or impressions. AdSense gives you access to Google’s vast network of advertisers, so you can show ads that are suited to your audience’s interests. But do remember before submitting your blog to google for their AdSense Program you must fill in your blog with 20 to 25 articles or blog post on your subjects.

After that you need to optimize your blog for google search engine, gain high page rank and increase visitors from organic search.

Sign Up for google AdSense

[2] Selling Private ads on your blog

Selling ads on your blog is not easy, for this your blog must receive high traffic, high readership. You can sell ads on your blog in various formats. Selling ads on a blog which is on a free blogging platform like blogger.com or WordPress.com is hard. Whereas a blog on self hosted space can place and market private ads more easily.

Read this post for further help.

[3] Paid Review

If your blog has a high page rank then you can submit it to various sites which offer paid reviews. To rank high in google index various products and service sites needs bloggers to write reviews about their products or services and pay high amount in return. This is a great way to earn a little extra money from blogging.

I’m giving you some sites where you can register your blog for writing paid reviews.

[4] Selling Affiliate Products or services

You can sign up with various affiliate networks, a small list of recommended affiliate network given below, can opt to market an affiliate products related to your blog niche and promote it by writing reviews, if someone click on those affiliate link and purchase the product or services then you get paid a handsome commission by affiliate ad network. Again the condition is that your blog must have at least 1000 or more unique visitor per day then only affiliate marketing through blogging can be effective otherwise people choose to use e-mailing system to earn through affiliate marketing.

Hope this article will help newbie to understand what blogging is and how bloggers make money from it. If you still need any clarification or have opinion about any thing explained above and you are more then welcome to comment below.
