When it comes to monetizing a blog you have a lot of options. If you know your audience and are good at marketing, you can try and sell your own advertising. Another alternative is to place advertisements on your site through Google Adsense. Depending on what type of web site you run, your results will vary. In this post we will break down Google Adsense and see if it’s right for your blog?

What makes some blogs more successful than others? With the millions of bloggers out there, competing against the billions of blogs on the internet… why are some getting your attention and not others? In this post I will highlight three very simple tactics that can get your blog more love and activity from the readers coming to your site.
More and more bloggers are offering to interview fellow bloggers. Here’s a video blog post of me being interviewed.
Why?
Well…it can bring you more traffic.
Think about it…the interviewer and the interviewee are both going to promote it. That means you could both be exposed to each others regular visitors.
But interviewing is not easy. You have to put in a lot of preparation.
Interviews are as nerve-wracking for the person conducting the questioning as the person being interviewed. In any interview scenario, there are always two people on show simultaneously, and both can be either judged or praised for their performance.
From day one we are told to build a list because the money is in the list. So as small business bloggers we quickly create some sort of free giveaway in return for our visitors e-mail.
Then we think we’ve got them.
We think we have the right to bombard our list with recommendations to buy products whether via an affiliate link or our own.
We think, “We’ve given them something for free they should now buy from us”.
But it doesn’t work like that.
Giving something away for free is no longer unique or different… it’s the norm.
It’s a wonderful feeling when someone writes to you and they ask if they can publish a guest blog post on your site.
Why do I say that?
There are a number of reasons:
1. It means I have a break from having to create a blog post myself
2. I and my readers get to find out about a new blogger and a different perspective on the subject of the blog post
3. The guest blogger hopefully gets some new visitors to this site
4. The guest blogger gets some link love from my site and I feel I’m helping them

It would be a bit disappointing if you have been blogging for a while now, but you only get comments here and there. This is just the same as making a speech in public only to hear crickets chirping in the background.

Guest blogging is a great way for writers to hone their craft and expand their audience in the process. Whether you’re a writer whose relatively new to blogging, or an experienced blogger, everyone can benefit from the additional self-promotion that comes as a result of successful guest posting.
In the last Blog Expert post in this mindset series we discussed clear thinking and ensuring everything we do each day fits in with our overall business direction.
In this post we explore one of the fundamental traits that many business owners ignore and that is ‘CHANGE’.
I was in a meeting with a customer recently, and he surprised me by stating with absolute confidence: “I don’t like change.”
Don’t like change?
Is that possible?
I paused for a moment and then queried his statement.
If he bought a winning lottery ticket, would that make him happy or sad?
I’ve completed a couple of Blog Expert series now and the feedback on each has been very encouraging.
The first one: Link Building Campaign
The second one: Building and creating a blog for the long term
So…we’re going to start another one.
In the next Blog Expert series, we’re going to move on to an important but often neglected element of running a successful small business – Mindset.
Now…I want to be straight to the point here:
I’m not talking about passion, determination, drive, persistence, energy – topics like that have been written about too many times.

I have been writing for blogs for the last few months. I usually write about 10 articles a week, between my own blogs and guest posts. When I first began writing for blogs my approach was seriously flawed. But I quickly took note of the errors I made, and I will outline these mistakes to help you avoid making them.
The top 3 blogging mistakes I made are:

We all know that full-time blogging can at times be very frustrating, especially if we suddenly find ourselves under the terrifying spell of writers block. Every blogger knows this feeling, but few successfully deal with it.
What separates the bloggers who make money from the bloggers whose sites stagnate in low-traffic obscurity is how the former take this supposed crisis and turn it into an opportunity for more business. Remember, there’s more to blogging than just blogging, so if you find yourself unable to write a post, here are a few things you can do to maximize your return.
