Now that the earnings report are to date expect an increase of my earnings for September 2008 as I’m back

Having more than 1 website or blog is better if you plan to make more money.
At the moment I have 4 blogs.

• Sava’s Place
• PantherKut
• Baby Doll
• Sava dot name

Each of these website earns $100 a month … more or less. So, 4 websites would earn $400 or more per month right ?
As you can see in my April 2008 earnings I earned $400 with just 3 blogs. Sava dot name was in the making.

And yes, having more websites or blogs automaticly takes more of your time. If you want to earn enough to support yourself you have to work a lot, no matter what you do.

Calculate your time, especially your time spent online and try to make things a lot easier.
If you have a Wordpress blog here are some tips to help you save a lot of time and manage to keep alive more blogs.

Images in post

Wordpress 2.5 has a pretty nifty feature to insert a bunch of images at once in your post.

Imagine if you want to publish 30 photos from your vacation on your blog and how much time it would take.
You can see an example of the gallery Wordpress creates at Baby Doll » Asian Horror Movie Posters.

Don’t put your blog on pause if you’re travelling

Wordpress has 2 other handy features. The first one is the Schedule.

If you’re gone for 10 days schedule at least 3 posts at least once every 3 days. Remember to schedule posts for each of your blogs. People subscribe very often to blogs that update rarely.

Or you can easily Post via e-mail.
Go to Settings in your Wordpress admin panel and then Writing. Create a secret email address that only you know and enter it’s details there.
You see a lot of stuff happen when you’re on the go. Why not share them right when those interesting, worth mentioning things happen ? Even if you’re in a train you can easily send an email from your phone to the secret email account.

Your brand new post is live and you didn’t even touch your computer.

If you like my posts you can subscribe via email and win $15 on the 1st of june 2008 or subscribe to my RSS Feed.

All of you surely make more than 20 posts in 3 months right ? So … you’re accepted.

Here’s an excerpt of a review I made on Sava’s Place for SocialSpark:

————————————-
…
First of all – What is Social Spark ?
The most important thing in my opinion is that it is a community. Yes, a community. You have the chance to meet very good bloggers, talk to them or even share stuff with them ( Also read below about Sparks ). They also have a forum to share blogging ideas with others or discuss methods to improve your blogs. Everybody needs to learn new stuff. I’ve found some great infos there so don’t miss it out.
And I almost forgot to mention that other bloggers can vote ( Prop ) for your blog if they like it, add it to their favorites or post comments about your blog. Oh, did I say that you can also talk to the advertisers ? This way you’ll see the best result for your efforts: a Thank you.
Yes, an advertiser messaged me and thanked me for writing about his product.
…
————————————-
You can read the whole review here. And yes … I got paid to write about them.

With SocialSpark I made $65 so far, but I still have 4 pending reviews. I’m pretty sure that my pending reviews will get approved.

Your blog will get propped whenever somebody likes it. Having more props will make you feel better
You can also add friends and chat with them through their messaging system.

My tips … hmmm … just one at the moment.
Besides making reviews you can also be a sponsor by taking up Blog sponsorships. You can view them in their marketplace. You will get paid between $0.50 and $5.5 per day (YES PER DAY) for displaying an advert to each of your visitors only once a day. And the ads are very nice, won’t hurt the eyes

What are you waiting for ?
Sign up and make money with SocialSpark.

Today I wanna tell you about TNX.net.
I use it because I like that you can sell up to 4 links on each page of your website. If your website has 5000 pages you can sell 20.000 links and get paid for each of them.

If you don’t use it yet you really should. After signing up with TNX you have to add your website(s). Adding a website is very easy and just a few details are needed: website URL, description, it’s category (try to see which category from TNX fits your website best), average amount of pages you already have and the average amount of visitors and the language it’s written in.

Once your website gets accepted all you have to do is to add their code. I prefer to use the code which uses a cache folder on your website. This way whenever your website is loaded the ads are read from a text document on your server and the loading time improves.

Here’s what I managed to get so far:

I signed up at the end of March 2008 and you can see that my first payout was on the 31 March 2008.
In just 1 month and a half I made exactly $75.07 and I still have about 44.000 TNX Points in my account which is the equivalent of $36.95.

Here’s a screenshot if you don’t believe me

Kontera offers in text adverts like the one in the picture below:

I really like the idea because you have a much better click-through rate now that the ads are part of your content.
And yes, you can use Kontera along with Google Adsense, WidgetBucks and other Money Makers.

There are some things you have to do to improve your gains from Kontera.

Right after you sign up and your website (blog) gets approved, you need to contact Kontera staff and ask them to increase the number of ads that are shown. And of course you can contact them in case you have more than one blog and ask them to review them. If the other blogs are accepted you will receive the javascript code for all of them.

The only tip I have is this: your Kontera ads should have the same color as the existing links of your blog.

Kontera should be used as it doesn’t interfere with your other ads, doesn’t take up space on your layout and the ads can open up in a new window ( look for this in their Knowledge Base).

Happy earning

First of all … do you really want to make money from your blog ?

Not all people that own a blog are eager to make money from it. Blogging is supposed to be a passion, your own journal, a way to get in touch with people all around the world.
If you thought it over and you want to monetize your blog you have to know that there are a lot of websites you can earn money from by showing ads or posting reviews.
I made a list of all the ad networks and affiliate programs I use.

You can view the list by going to my Recommended Money Makers.

They were chosen from a lot of ad networks and work best for me. Of course you have to try others as well and see which one is better for your blog.
I will also make a post for each money maker I mentioned to describe it better and of course some tips to increase your experience and earnings.

Stay tuned
