So, how do you break into the world of making money online?

Here’s some good news. You need the right training, from experts who know exactly what they are talking about and who provide all the backup and support you need while you’re learning. Those experts are my friends Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey and their course is called Commission Blueprint 2.0.

Search Engine Marketing (SEM for short) is the process of using search engines to sell goods and services online. This essentially means getting traffic to a website or blog via paid advertising or free organic search.

If you’re into blogging to promote a business you have probably already encountered some of the techniques needed to make a business visible online. And if you only have a preliminary understanding of what SEM is all about you probably already know more than 95% of the population.

SEM, while technical in some details, is no big deal for those of us who have taken the first steps to getting a blog or website in front of the eyeballs of our target audience.

So why not consider doing SEM for someone else?

My friend Steve Clayton is offering a training course that sets you up to do just that. This is honestly not as improbable as it sounds because Steve’s course, SEM Business Blueprint, does not assume any prior experience in the field. The course contains full training and shows you how you can learn on the job while earning an income.

SEM for local businesses is what Steve did to enable him to give up his day job but still earn a living. This gave him the time and experience to set himself up as a true Internet marketer, earning a substantial income online.

I’ve got this course and I can testify that it is a complete ‘business in a box’ with everything you need to set yourself up as a Search Engine Marketeer in your local area.

But don’t take my word for it. Have a look at Steve’s short video on this page and he’ll explain all about it himself.

If you’re struggling to make money online this may be just the lifeline you need! Please, do yourself a favor and check it out…

How can I make money with my blog?

First, get traffic to your blog. You won’t make a cent until you’ve got visitors. Then, do two or three things from this list:

1. Google Adsense

Sign up for an account at Google Adsense and place ad blocks in your sidebars and/or in your pages and posts. The ads that show will reflect what Google’s bot ‘reads’ as being what your blog post is all about. So make sure to stuff your post with high-earning keywords. You get paid when a visitor clicks on an ad.

2. Affiliate Marketing

Sell other people’s stuff by reviewing or advertising products from networks such as Commission Junction, ClickBank, LinkShare.com, MoreNiche, MarketHealth.com, etc, etc. You could use banners, buttons and text links to drive visitors to cash earning sites.

3. Amazon

Sign up as an Associate of Amazon and use their amazing widget tools to display colorful little ads, search boxes and even videos. If you’re going to let Amazon share your valuable blog space, pick item with higher prices than books!

4. eBay

If you are an eBay seller, promote your own auctions. Every eBay seller should have a blog! Alternatively, promote other people’s auctions. Sign up to the eBay Partner Network and get paid commissions on eBay auctions that you promote AND for introducing new, active eBay users.

5. Pay per play

Play Net Audio Ads on your blog and get paid every time your blog is viewed! The visitor doesn’t have to click on anything: you get paid regardless.

6. Pay per post

You can get paid for writing articles on your blog reviewing other people’s stuff. You need a good writing style and an established blog but the money can be very good. Check out Pay Per Post.

7. Sell your own product

If you’ve already got a business, promote your goods and services via your blog. If you haven’t got a product (yet), why not sell your old stuff that you don’t want anymore on eBay? Could give you a little bit of investment capital to get going…

8. Text Link Ads

Another way to earn revenue is Text Link Ads.  A lot of the high-powered bloggers use these. Check them out!

9. Network Marketing

In the olden days, to succeed at network marketing (and MLM) you needed to recruit an ever-expanding ‘warm market’ in your area. These days the Internet can deliver that via a blog. Choose a company that is Internet-savvy and create a great blog to find warm prospects around the world. Check out One Group who have a great website.

My advice is to check out all these opportunities, brainstorm how each could fit into your blog’s style and topic and pick one, two or three that you could run with. Oh, and don’t forget to work on getting more traffic
