Networking is a Key to your Online Money Making
Written by admin on May 29, 2008 – -Networking is a great way of building relationships, getting your name and reputation out there but also, networking can essentially be a path to success and making money online.
Since I started blogging sometime last year, I have built tons of relationships and friendships with other people who have tons of talents, but more importantly, they are willing to help. I used to try to do everything for myself but when it comes down to it, you have to help others to get help yourself.
And no, the A-listers probably won’t help you as much as you think!
But I’ve built my network group who has helped me in more ways than one. I mean, they’ve helped submit my articles to social media and bookmarking sites, helped get my site(s) out there, matter of fact, some of them sent me clients and sponsors/advertisers.
Now, as for the clients, I design cheap banners for people. Wait, I mean, I design banners for a reasonable price, pretty cheap compared to my competition. But a lot of people liked my work that they referred other people to me, and a lot of my blogging friends have done the same.
As for the advertisers, I think they mention me in various posts which attracts people to stop by my blog and if I impress them on sight, they may consider advertising with me.
See, networking can help set a path for you to make money online.
Additionally, when networking, it usually sends you traffic. Traffic = making money. Even if the only thing that is making money for you are PPC ads, then the potential traffic could lead to clicks which in turn, leads to money in your pockets (or bank account).
So, if you think you can make money online just by yourself with no help, yes, it is possible but just image how much more you could make if you had people to help you!

Comment Like There’s No Tomorrow to Get Great Traffic!
Written by admin on May 29, 2008 – -Commenting has always been good for networking, discussions and sharing your input, getting attention but more importantly, getting traffic to your site!
I know commenting is time consuming but isn’t everything else when it comes to promoting and marketing? The only difference is that you’ll be getting targeted traffic based on your comment response(s).
So, how would you even get traffic?
Well, tons of people leave their blog URL in their signature but if you’re leaving a comment on a Wordpress blog, there’s an option to type in your URL. Not only that but a lot of people have Wordpress plugins to help encourage people to comment. Plugins such as Commentluv and Top Commentators will definitely help.
CommentLuv basically takes and displays your latest post as your signature in your comment and Top Commentators basically gives you a backlink on the sidebar/blogroll of that blog (sitewide).
But in addition to that, you’ll definitely get noticed by the blog owner(s) which is always a good thing. I mean, one of these days they’ll stop by your blog and maybe like it enough to give you a backlink in one of their posts.
Backlink = potential traffic.
Last thing I have to mention, though, do not spam comments! And I’m not talking about those ones that get picked up by your spam filters, I’m talking about those automated responses or the copy and paste method like “Oh, great post! It was very informative, keep up the good work!” Believe it or not, a lot of people do this and people get caught and their reputations get diminished.
So do not spam comment! Do it the old fashion way and go and actually read the article and comment if you have something to say about it.
