 I've earned well over $100,000 writing online. I share my writing philosophy, insider tips and lessons learned in my Make Money Blogging book. $9.98 is a small investment to make when you consider all you stand to gain. Buy the book; you'll be glad you did (also available as an ebook).

The Pareto Principle is Alive and Well
Since we were in the house this weekend due to hurricane Irene, I got a chance to run a few numbers. Actually, running is the wrong word to use. I slowly and carefully raised my exhausted index finger to left mouse click on the Excel spreadsheet to quietly examine my numbers. You see, I needed [...]
How Do You Drive Traffic?
I thought I’d write this post because every so often I receive comments about driving traffic to a blog or site. I’m not so crazy about the term driving traffic, because when you’re stuck in traffic, the only vehicle you can control is your own. On the internet super highway, your blog is your vehicle [...]
Google’s View on Article Marketing
If you haven’t viewed Matt Cutts’ explanation of how Google views article marketing, I think it’s worth a look see. Early in my online career I not only tried article marketing but also used articles from free directories on my first website. Shortly thereafter I abandoned both practices as they didn’t yield the results [...]
Google AdWords Scam Alert
The following email showed up in my inbox today: The sender’s address was Google AdWords <adwords-noreply@google.com>. At first I was a little concerned, but then I read the email carefully. There were two things that struck me: I don’t use Google AdWords Just take a look at the grammar There’s a hyperlink in the email [...]
Peeking Out of the Sandbox
About a month ago I wrote how my new site was an apparent victim of the Google Sandbox. My strategy for getting the blog out of the sandbox is the exact same strategy I used for getting it tossed in the sandbox. My strategy was to post high-quality articles to the site once a week [...]
Google to the Rescue
The other day I was doing some online research and I came across an article that sounded familiar. As I read the article I realized it was a poorly spun rendition of one of my articles. A few words were changed here and there but there was no doubt in my mind that it was [...]
Life in the Sandbox
As a blogger or webmaster, one of the last things you want to hear is that your site is in the Google sandbox. To some it is a fate worst than death. Once in the sandbox site owners lament, question why and attempt to work feverishly to get out of it. It is what it [...]
How I’m Circumnavigating the Google Sandbox
I mentioned a little while ago that one of my blogs received the kibosh from Google and was tossed in the sandbox. I’m not concerned because it is a new blog and sometimes new blogs get sandboxed. I think what might have triggered my sandbox stint is that I added several posts in one day. [...]
Playing in the Google Sandbox
When I did usual stats check this morning, I was surprised to see that I had only received 15 page views on my new site yesterday and only 1 page view today. I know it’s Easter weekend and all, but 15 page views? Something was amiss. I looked at my page views to see they [...]
Fitting a Square Peg in a Round Hole
As some of you may know I’m on a diversification quest (after Panda, most of us are). To that end I’m attempting to create niche sites. My initial goal was to search for products that I either use or endorse and create niche sites around them promoting the product. In addition to selling the product, [...]
