Make Money Online

As in real store that you always go shopping the same applies to your blog, in order to make money you need the audience, and for making money online what you do need is traffic, human traffic that is reading your blog. Even if you are a great writer and have the best content, the greatest review for the a top notch product which could bring you thousands dollars a month from affiliates you will be nowhere close to make money online without the audience that reads you.

Drive traffic to your blog

So you got that strategy of how to make money, the products you can write about and make top dollars from affiliates, but what you lack at is traffic, audience, readers that do read what you have to write and advice them.

One of the ways most blogs are able to drive traffic is search engine optimization, there are loads of seo blogs you could learn more about seo and title optimization and how you could better optimize your blog for search engines. I would recommend you reading my seo blog.

But other than search engine optimization, I will write today about promoting your blog through the cheapest and easiest way, communities.

Blogs and Forums to raise Traffic

Blogs and forums give you the opportunity to interact with other fellows in a better way than the social media sites, usually blogs and forums treat one argument at a time and you are free to join that discussion and share your thoughts about that argument.

So how do you promote a site through blogs and communities? Both blogs as well as forums, give you the opportunity to use links and linkback to your website. Would that be as signature (forums) or as name of the commentator (blogs). Participating in discussions gives you that passport to share your knowledge on that topic and say what you think regarding that argument, people that read a healthy response to a topic will most likely follow your link in the signature or used as name to see what other sensed topics you have wrote about on your blog.

Few tips tho how NOT to promote your blog:
- Do not comment on sites that don’t share the same topic as yours, for example if your blog is about making money online than comment on make money online blogs or forums rather than on fashion
- Don’t comment just to comment, if you have nothing worth to say spare yourself.
- Don’t spam on each comment or post you make and link to your inner pages, only link to inner pages if the argument can be better explained with your link

What to do:
- Comment on topics you know well and only if you can contribute to that post or thread. Contributing will most likely create a feeling to other readers of the blog that you know what you are talking about and follow your link to read what you got on your blog.
- IF need, interlink with your posts (not more than one link) to better explain the subject which the blog owner posted or the thread is about.

Promoting your blog or site on other blogs or forums which share the same topic is really a powerful method to increase readership and increase traffic to your site.
