7 Reasons Why You CAN’T Make Money Blogging
March 31, 2010
This is probably an article you’re not expecting to see on a site that is dedicated to instructing people on how to make money blogging. However, it’s about time for all of us who are seeking this goal to take a step forward and get our facts straight. We have been living in this unrealistic mindset for quite some time. In the past it has been considered very possible to easily cash in online, but this is no longer completely true for many reasons. While some people have been able to make it big through blogging, the average Joe usually cannot. The internet is always rapidly advancing, and we cannot focus on the same thing forever. It is high time to move on to bigger and better things. Read more

Making Money Online During an Economic Crisis
December 10, 2009
It seems that more and more people are struggling due to the economy right now, and as the holidays roll around once again, this fact becomes more painfully apparent and stressful than at any other time of the year. You’ve got decorating, baking, traveling, and plenty of shopping and gift buying to do, and all that is simply added on top of your regular expenses. And with a tight budget, that can make the holidays even more difficult. But this time of the year should be about happiness, not filled with dread brought about by empty pockets. And that’s where making money online comes into play. Read more

Asking The Readers: About Making Money Online
April 23, 2008
Welcome to Asking The Readers! You are invited and encouraged to share your opinions and responses today. Super Blogging has a fantastic community full of friendly and intelligent readers - so don’t be afraid to read the post and the other comments, and then share your own thoughts and ideas. We love hearing what you have to say!
Today I’d like to bring up making money online. It’s the niche we all claim to be in, but all we post about and are preoccupied with are tips on blogging and productivity. While that’s not a bad thing and while those articles are most certainly needed, they’re not about making money online. The last time I published an article about actually making money online was my review of PepperJam, over a month ago.
So now I’m going to discuss making money online with all of you - how much you make, how you make it, and how much work you’re putting into it. If you want, you can also let me know what things you don’t know about making money online, and then hopefully I can create future posts covering those points for you and other readers. But now, it’s time to ask the readers…
1. How much money do you make online in a month?
2. What do you do the most to make that money? (Sell private ads, do affiliate programs, etc.)
3. How many hours do you put into it?
4. What would you like to learn or experiment with when it comes to making money online that you haven’t done yet?
Most of the readers of this blog are obviously trying to make money online, so these questions should apply to many of you. However, some people don’t like disclosing all the details - so if there are any questions you’d like to skip or not answer in full, you’re not obligated to do so. Apart from those questions, feel free to share any thoughts and opinions you have about making money online - along with any questions. If there are any articles you’d like to see here that help you make money, let me know!
Thanks for taking the time to read this post and, if you do so, for sharing your own responses. We all have the same goal in mind, but it’s one we often talk about less and less. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and learn what you all think. Remember, if there’s ever a certain post you’d like to see here about a tutorial, case study, experiment, or lesson with making money online, don’t hesitate to ask. I’m keeping a notebook of reader questions and maybe yours can be answered next!

Make Money Online With PepperJam Network
March 11, 2008
One of latest and greatest ways to make money blogging is the PepperJam Network, which is the newest service on the scene. I already have to say it’s one of my favorites because it’s useful and unique. It’s not another program that acts as the middleman for ads on your site like banners, links, and paid reviews (think TLA and ReviewMe), but instead it makes affiliate marketing a LOT easier.
PepperJam Network is, in a nutshell, a site where you sign up and can immediately be connected with dozens of affiliate offers you can promote to earn money. You can join merchants and start promoting them with banners and links, and you can be paid either by a percentage of the sales or a solid lead. Read more

Monetize Your Audience Using PlaceMyProduct.com
February 14, 2008
There are new services that help you monetize your site and sell advertising that are popping up all the time. PlaceMyProduct.com is one of those services - but this time, it’s more unique than others and offering something new. Simply putting it, PlaceMyProduct.com is a site where you can place your products or advertising opportunities, and the highest binner on your auction wins. But there’s a bit more to it than just that.
“Have you ever sold an ad and wondered if the price was too low and you could have earned more? You probably could have earned more. Have you ever tried to sell an ad and there were no takers? That probably means your price was too high. PlaceMyProduct.com eliminates this guessing game and helps you achieve ad price parity.”
Product placers can sell almost anything via PlaceMyProduct.com. You can sell your advertising blocks, sponsored reviews, text link ads, banner overlays in videos, podcast sponsorships, and much more. But, you can sell offline placements too! Sell ad spaces on your radio station, local newspaper or community newsletter, even billboards. When you think about it, the possibilities for PlaceMyProduct.com are endless - all you have to do is get creative and you could start making money off a lot of things!
Like I mentioned, PlaceMyProduct.com allows people to bid on your products. You can set the price low and have a lot of people bidding on it and building up the final price. Or, if you’re selling an advertising space or something else, you can figure up how much you’d need to price it on PlaceMyProduct.com to make at least as much as you would otherwise, and then you’ll make at least that much or more (since they do keep a percentage of the earnings - but you get 80%, which is more than almost all other sites give back).
PlaceMyProduct.com is new, but I can see it becoming huge. Since it revolves around a bidding process and also allows you to sell offline advertising as well as online, it’s very unique and different from most other things we’re used to seeing out there. And if you’re creative, you can definitely take PlaceMyProduct.com and use it for your advantage, generating a nice income. So start thinking up something good, or just use it to sell ad space on your blog - whatever works, it’s that versatile!

So what do you think about PlaceMyProduct.com? Is it something you could see yourself using, and what ideas are you already forming for it? I can’t wait to hear your answers, I’ve signed up for it myself and can’t wait to see how it all works out.
