| Why You Shouldn’t Depend Only on Google Adsense for Your Income? Posted: 28 Feb 2014 07:08 AM PST Blogging is one big thing and making money using it is equally big. Not every person who sets up a blog can be counted as a blogger. If you count everyone one of them as a blogger, there might be millions of new bloggers added to the blogosphere on a daily basis. Blogging is not only about writing posts and doing SEO for your blog. It is much more than that. You get in touch with different like-minded people through blogging and you get the opportunity to share your knowledge and help people who are still stuck at some point. And then there is one thing that is still prompting many people to start their own blogs, and that is Google Adsense! You would completely agree with me that many people see that there are bloggers who are making quite good money with Google Adsense month after month and they think that they can too make money with the program. Of course they can but only if they work with dedication. They only see the big paychecks that Google sends to the bloggers, but what they don't see is the hard work and time that the blogger has put in to reach that spot. However for those who are finding it hard to make money with Google Adsense or even getting approved with it, I would like to tell you that getting approved with Google Adsense doesn't mean you will make money. It took me a whole year to reach the threshold to get paid! There are some reasons that will tell you why it is a good idea to stay away from Google Adsense and don't depend on it completely.
image credit:Stuart Miles / FreeDigitalPhotos.net Why You Shouldn't Depend on Google Adsense?You Are Not In-Charge:That's right! You are not in charge of the ads that are displayed on your blog. All you to do is just paste the ad code at places where you want the ads to appear and sit back. Apart from that, you don't have any say in the ads that are displayed on your blog. Of course, you can set the type of ads that you want to be displayed and even remove certain ads from your account. But still, you are not given complete control of choosing the right ads. Split Your Earnings:Whatever you make from Google Adsense by displaying the ads on your blog, you have to share you earnings with Google. You get around 67% of the total earnings you make and the rest stay with Google. Not fair, when you are getting high traffic and making more money. More Lucrative Options:There are many ways that you can make money with a blog. Google Adsense is just one of them and also the one which you can't control to the fullest. The best way to make money with your blog is to decide on it before you start your blog. There is affiliate marketing that gives you complete control. You earn money depending on the efforts you put in. If you work hard and in proper direction, you can make loads of money with affiliate marketing. Other great option is to sell out ad spaces on your blog directly. This requires that your blog should be popular and have a loyal reader base. They Can Ban You Without Giving a Reason:Google Adsense has been infamous for the fact that they have banned many bloggers' account in the past without giving them a valid reason. And when they appeal against the decision, it falls mostly on deaf ears and there are very few cases when the bloggers got their accounts back. The worst part about this is that if Google Adsense bans your account, you lose all the money you had in it. So What Do You Think?I would like to say that everything written in the above post is my own personal thoughts. I am not trying to take on Google Adsense, just giving out the truth. In fact, I make a consistent income from it every month. So I would like to hear from you about your experience with Google Adsense. Is it the only earning stream of yours? Are you completely dependent on it, or most of your earnings come from Adsense? If the answer is yes, then try to diversify your earnings while there is time. Happy Blogging!

| A Blogger Guide To Leverage Your Blogging Confidence As a Newbie Posted: 28 Feb 2014 04:50 AM PST Professional Blogging is not easy; it requires a lot of skills and talent. For newbies, professional blogging is little more challenging. Basically, they lack confidence in their ability and skills. Quite obviously initial days are very difficult for any blogger; they feel lost, they feel alone, and there will always be a little hesitation to move forward. I also felt the same, but I quickly overcame this situation. So, How to leverage your Confidence in Blogging as a newbie? If you have just started blogging and wondering how to leverage your confidence and get comfort in blogging, then don't worry. You're in a right place. In this article, I'll let you know how exactly I leveraged my confidence, so that you can implement the same to boost your confidence in blogging. Let's begin. . . Never hesitate to Get StartedOne of the big mistake novice usually do is, they hesitate to get started. They hesitate to write, they hesitate to express their ideas; they think their ideas are not good or too obvious. They hold back themselves, even though they want to achieve something from their blog. They doubt their ability. This will not only lower your self esteem, your blog will never grow. Recently I got a 2nd price on BlogEngage guest blogging contest. Usually, I was not used to take part in Contests and Giveaways thinking that I don't have chance of winning, competing with several others. If I hesitated to take part, I would have missed making $150 easy money. So never hesitate to get started. Tips to get started
Connect with InfluencersAs a newbie, you might hesitate to connect with top bloggers or influencers, but you can't be like this for very long if you want to get noticed in blogosphere. Blogging is all about networking, you can't move forward without networking your blog or brand. There are millions of Blogs (probably billions), and without networking your blog would be like a needle in the haystack – no one will notice. Blogging is like a business – notice all the businessmen; they network with other businesses as much as possible. They attend business conferences wherever they can, they don't hesitate to give speeches in big events, because they know the importance of networking in order to build and promote their brand. Similarly, you need to network like them for your blogging growth. When you network with influential bloggers, you'll automatically gain confidence in blogging. You'll quickly learn how to move forward, with confidence you can achieve your desired blogging goals. So, the next time don't hesitate to connect with top bloggers; comment on their blog posts, add value and share your opinion with them, then you'll definitely leverage your confidence. How to connect with Influencers?
Improve your basic blogging skillsBlogging requires some set of basic skills; like writing skills, reading skills, promoting skills and technical skills (a little bit). So, if you don't have these basic blogging skills, then it is difficult to survive. These are easy skills that you can learn or adopt within a quick succession. All you need is a passion and interest to learn. As a blogger, we need to stay updated with the latest things and happenings; blogging is one continues process, and if you skip information related to blogging, you'll stay behind. Moreover, you'll never gain confidence. As you know, writing and reading is the major skill that'll decide your blogging fate. If you genuinely don't like reading and writing, then blogging is not for you. So, make sure to adopt at least these two basic skills. Once you learn these basic skills, you'll definitely gain confidence in blogging. So, how to improve your blogging skills? There are no shortcuts here, you have to. . .
Blogging is all about sharing and providing real information to the audience, and if you don't have proper information about your niche, then you can’t teach others. So, make sure to learn all the basics first. Write guest postsAs a newbie, initially I used to hesitate a bit to write guest posts because of these reasons – "what if they reject my post? What if I'm not good enough? What will others think of me?" But once I overcame this fear, I ended up writing this post for ShoutMeLoud. This type of thought is enough to kill your blogging growth and confidence. Luckily, I soon realized that these kinds of doubts are the major enemy for my blogging growth. Once you write your first guest post, you'll automatically gain huge confidence, trust me on this. What you get from guest blogging apart from Confidence? Even though Matt Cutts recently said Guest Blogging is not good for SEO purpose, it still is as per many SEO experts. Guest blogging also helps you drive quality traffic to your blog, subscribers, comments, and get attention (spotlight). As you see, guest blogging not only helps you to gain confidence, it will also help you to get good rankings. How to take advantage of guest blogging? Aim big; as I mentioned above, you need to connect with top bloggers – guest blogging is the best way to connect with them. Approach with your best possible article, once your guest post is approved, you'll gain massive confidence. There is no need to write hundreds of guest posts, if you can write few quality posts on top blogs. ConclusionAs a blogger, you need to be confident in your work; without confidence it is difficult to grow. So make sure to adopt these skills. More importantly, you need to believe in your ability; the difference will be in the way you approach, and make sure you set a right self-esteem to do so. What you think?

| Reasons Why Your Blog Content Sucks Posted: 28 Feb 2014 04:44 AM PST Blogging is no more an easy way to make money. Now, it has more competition than ever before. And in this competitive blogging era you can't beat your competitors by writing any thing and everything on your blog. Providing useful and high quality content is must to get success in blogging. And today I am here with 5 reasons why your blog content sucks. Read on to know more about the reasons. Reasons Why Your Blog Content Sucks:You are Beating Around the Bush:The blogging arena is known to be dominated by cut-throat competition. One click and you are likely to have an encounter with n number of bloggers, a couple of them being operative in and around your genre. This is exactly why it is of crucial importance to you to present your readers with some clear, practical, crisp and most importantly to the point content. However, there are a number of bloggers out there who instead of taking the straight route end up getting caught in the vicious circle of beating around the bush, which is exactly where their content starts losing the much needed essence and begins to suck. You Choose Bland Topics:As a blogger, you enjoy an absolute opportunity of choosing any genre or topic under the sun. However, it is not enough for you to only think about your liking. It is equally vital for you to lay importance on the likes and preferences of your present and prospective readers. This is one essential area that most of the bloggers end up giving a miss. They tend to choose a highly raw subject or topic, which in turn ends up adding some bland content to their blog, which is nothing, but a major turn off for their readers who then strongly feel that the overall content presented by the blogger in question sucks. Your Writing Style is Dull:Many a times bloggers are seen complaining that inspite of choosing the most hip and happening topics that are in sync with the interest of their target audience, in the end they end up getting negative reviews with respect to the content displayed by them. What they fail to understand is that choosing an apt topic and presenting facts and data associated with the topic picked up by them is not enough. What is vital is the way in which you choose to present the content. The language that you use and the flow with which your blog content goes about is crucial. Hence, going the dull way is definitely not the need of the hour. You are an Inconsistent Player:If you are a blogger who is generally absent from the blogging scene and are actually a once in a blue moon individual, then in that case most of the active readers are sure to be disappointed with you. The fact is that even if you try to present exceptional quality content and so also take into consideration the most hot selling topics, your inconsistency is sure to make your readers feel that your blog content sucks. Similarly, writing on topics, which are hardly or not at all linked with one another is also likely to lead to similar comments on your content. You Lack Good Research Skills:In order to be able to enjoy an excellent fan following and so as to appeal to your readers, it is essential for you to conduct a brief background check of your readers at large. You need to carry out an in-depth research with regards to the likes and preferences of your readers, the age group that they happen to fall in alongwith other demographic factors in general. If this is taken care of, then you need not worry about attracting thumbs down reviews on your blog. Instead you can rest assured about the quality of the content presented by you on your blog.

| How Earning Money With Adsense Can Break Your Money Making Dreams Posted: 27 Feb 2014 11:12 AM PST Do you know that making $$$$ from AdSense can destroy your money earning dreams from internet, don't you? Well I am a big fan of Google AdSense to make money online but when it comes to fulfill my money making dreams, I get doubt on my choice of making money. I am not saying that you can't make money from AdSense but I am trying to show you the way how you can fulfill your money making dreams without using Adsense. There are hundreds of bloggers, online marketers around the globe who are earning money from adsense and maximum of them struggling to make money from adsense due to low CPC values. Whereas those who are generating thousands of bugs online, are not focused on adsense earnings. For example if we look at the earnings of india's one of the best bloggers Harsh Agrawal, we will find that his income's only 20% part comes from Google AdSense. He is making money from other resources. Harsh is completing his dreams, isn’t he? Well I won't distract you from Adsense program but I will tell you how you are losing handsome income by using adsense on your blog. How earning money with adsense can break your money making dreams:1.). Greed of Google's check:Everybody dreams to work with Google. No matter he/she is doing job in Google or associated with brand in any manner. As a newbie blogger I was always looking to get adsense approval anyhow. I was too much desperate to earn money with Google. This mind state is carrying in every blogger's mind when he gets into the field. He is always eager to make more and more money from Google to show people that how google is paying $$$$ per month to him. This greed of making more money from adsense leads him not to focus on other money earning resources online. There is no one who is going to ask you how you are making money but everyone is interested to know how much you are making from your work. So leave your greediness from Google's check and make money. 2.). AdSense – Made In China:Well you must be thinking what I am saying but Yeah it seems Google's AdSense product is manufactured in China. Literary guys I can bet, you will agree with my point that AdSense is China's product. By seeing similarities between China products and adsense, I can guarantee you will shout yes, AdSense was manufactured in China. Chinese products are attractive and cheap as it is same with Google AdSense program. It is attractive as it helps people to make money and it's joining is free, even you don't need to pay single penny for using this product. The life of Chinese products is not too long. One dialogue is very famous about china products in India , "China ka Maal, chal jaye to Chand tak wrna Sham tak". The above dialogue means that Chinese products may work for years but at the same time they won't work even for few hours. The same case is with AdSense program. There is not guarantee that for how much time you have your AdSense account, any moment your account can be disabled. "AdSense China ka maal hai, Chal jaye to Chand tak wrna sham tak". So how your money making dreams can be depended on a way; whose end can arrive at any moment. 3.). Affiliate is Ghost:Maximum bloggers have fear of to start Affiliate program and treats it like a ghost that is coming in their dreams. To be frank guys, Affiliate marketing is the best and most effective money making way online. It is far better than Adsense program. Affiliate marketing can fulfil your money making dreams if it is done properly. I never give intension towards affiliate program but when I get results from affiliate marketing, I start to think I won't display Google ads on my blog. The main reason is whenever a user clicks on your adsense Ad, you may earn 6$, 7$ in case of your traffic is from USA, UK, Australia or other countries like this. Maximum time you will see your CPC value like 0.30, 0.20, 0.10 and sometimes 0.01 too. Whereas in affiliate marketing one can make 47$, 65$, 130$ for one successful lead. If you look at the earnings of a professional blogger, you may find that his major source of income is Affiliate marketing, paid reviews, direct advertisement or SEO consultancy service banner on his blog. Even you won't find Google ads on their blogs, just because AdSense programs policies and earnings. Here I have shared my views regarding how your money making dreams are in danger if you are thinking to fulfil them with AdSense. Now I want to hear from you, what do you think about this?
