As I have posted in an earlier post about a month ago saying that I would target my blog toward specific topics and goals one month at a time and the time has come that we are at our very first day of August and for this month all of my readers and subscribers will experience a breath taking, never forgetting extravaganza experience on how to become a professional blogger and jumpstart your blog in just 30 days. That means there will be at least one post per day, perhaps (and probably) more than that which will explain the steps how any web designer, cartoonist, coder, freelancer, you-name-it can get you off your feet and make your blogging experience a worthwhile effort.

What We Will Be Covering:

Week One: Everything to Get your Blog up and Running

Week Two: Content, Goals, and an Audience

Week Three: Search Engine Optimization

Week Four: Monetization of Your Blog

All posts related to this 30 day adventure will be added to our 30 Day Blogging Crash Course page so please bookmark that or subscribe to get daily updates in our blogging quest.

Unless you’re getting at least 30,000 unique visitors a month, it will probably be pretty difficult for you to make money through advertising programs such as Google Adsense, Adbrite, etc. I’ve been in that situation and the most annoying question that always bugged me was how in the world do I make visitors come to your blog or site? Sure, I SEO’d my sites to the best of my knowledge, advertised, but it is still not enough.

There are hundreds of ebooks out there discussing how to monetize your site, get traffic, and so forth, but for the most part they’re full of junk that doesn’t help. Then it hit me. Those guys don’t make money from the methods they write in their books! They make money from selling that junk!!

So my advice is, if you do not have enough traffic to get those promised Adsense riches, just write an ebook. Market it on forums, blogs, eBay, and any other marketplace you can imagine. Be sure to include your site or blog which will benefit you in the way that you’ll receive traffic, and as a bonus, you’ll be making money from your ebook!

Tip: The keyword here is advertise. Nobody will know who you are until you tell them who you are. Subscribe to this blog for more information on how to advertise successfully. (See there, that was just my way of advertising to you)
