Another way to interpret number 1 is not to rely on just one blog. Create several blogs that will cater to various income streams.

Not many know this but I actually have four blogs.

1. A static website blog that simply serves as an online store to market and sell products online and offline. Biggest income source – direct sales. 

Nice idea, I have not yet done this for now since I am abroad and I don’t know what are the goods that Arab people like to buy. PayPal is not yet well known in Saudi Arabia and I also don’t know how to be involve in their Online Market. It is what I called culture difference.

2. A crappy blog that’s dedicated to paid posts and sponsored reviews, doubles as my SEO playground. And since it’s crappy by nature, I simply grab ALL the opps I can get hold of. Hehe. Biggest income source – PPP

One way to really have an income thru blogging is making paid post. I am also doingpaid post, But most of the time I make it using direct method thru online entrepreneur that I am getting to know thru forum. Why, They don’t oblige you to say that your post is sponsored or usually I can receive money before making the post. The only disadvantage is sometimes payment is not as high as the established site. Such as SponsoredReviews.com, PayPerPost, ReviewMe.

3. A Made-For-Adsense blog that’s full of keyword-rich posts aggregated from public domain articles. This one is sooo boring to maintain, but gives good income anyway. Biggest income source – Adsense (obviously) and Kontera

Well actually those kind of site was very popular last year where there are lots of MFA site that are floating in the net. The best part of this is the Passive Income that it is giving. I also maintain some sort of blog that Fitz mentioned, For me I maintain a Song Lyrics Blogs. I also monetize it thru Kontera , Adbrite, & Adsense.

4. And a flagship blog, the one all of you guys know, where I provide the most value to the readers and I enjoy the most writing. Biggest income source – Adsense

Yup as an Online Blogger, It is always our goal to have our brand. That is why we always maintain our best site . Like me I maintain this site as my main site. This site is a semi-Tech, Blogging, SEO with a personal touch. BTW I maintain a blog and not a NEWS site. So better be happy on what you are doing and Online Money will come next. Again Thanks Fitz for sharing this info. Best of Luck to Your Finance Site.

This is also One way of thanking him for being active on commenting at my site. . I am now opening another category on this blog and call it Visitor’s Comment.

Picture is taken at Fort Santiago, Jose Rizal’s Prison, I put my signature with out knowing that I have to donate by doing so.

Knowing the keywords that is used to visit your site, you can be able to make another post regarding that matter. For example , I know that this site is being search for some Excel and Microsoft Words Tips. that is why from time to time I am making some additional Tips that my reader would enjoy if they happen to pass by because of my post regarding Microsoft Word and Excel.
