How To Make Money Blogging Part 2 – Step-By-Step

---

One of the fastest ways for you to understand how to build a money making blogsite is by using an example. So well take those same basic 5 steps from the previous post and repeat them here, in example form.Step 1. was about picking a product niche of something you want to sell to people, and two of the examples I mentioned were selling guitars, and offering a course in learning to play guitar, so well choose those for our example.It so happens that many people look online, both for guitars to buy, and for courses on how to play them, so if you put up a blog about guitars, youll immediately have a few items to offer. As mentioned before, if you make your own guitars or offer your own guitar course, you can sell these. But well assume you dont, so what you will offer is guitars and lessons produced by other people or companies. Youll feature their products on your website, with a link to their own websites that includes a special code letting them know who sent them the potential customer, and in return for sending them a lead, theyll pay you a percentage commission if the customer actually purchases a product. You are an affiliate for them, and this is affiliate marketing.You can affiliate with any number of sellers, from companies that offer just one specific product, to huge resellers like Amazon, eBay or Commission Junction. Each one has there own screening for who they will allow to be an affiliate, their own rules, and their own form and percentage of payment. Theres a wellreviewed guitar course called Jamorama offering between 50 75 commission on every 4050 sale, meaning you could get 2540 every time you bring them a paying customer. Do that 20 times in one month, and you just made between 500800! Their Jamorama course is a digital download, meaning the purchaser can download the whole course in digitalbook form immediately after payment, no waiting for course materials to arrive in the mail. The clearinghouse for this and many other digital products is ClickBank, and anyone can be a member and offer their products.Guitars are sold on both Amazon and eBay, and you become an affiliate with these companies, you can actually offer real guitars, not just guitar lessons. Amazon pays between 69 of the sale price, if sold, and eBay pays per click on their auctions.These are just a few of the suggestions for affiliate partnerships you can form to offer different digital amp physical products on your website, with each click or sale bringing you a little bit of commission. If you have several of these blogs offering several different products each, you can be making thousands every month.For this example well choose to sell the Jamorama guitar lesson course and a selection of used guitars on eBay.So now that we know our blog is going to be monetized by sales of guitars and guitar lessons, well want to center our whole blog on guitars, and find a domain name that relates to that, but also has a wellsearched but not overly competedfor keyword in the domain name...which leads up to Step 2, researching the best keywords for the guitar niche.
