2 weeks ago, I attended the Profit Blogging Workshop which was organised by AsiaOnline Mastery Sdn Bhd at Crystal Crown Hotel, PJ. Thanks for SC.Wong for the invitation to this valuable workshop. Initially, my purpose of attending was to find out MORE on how blogging can be a source of part-time income and subsequently turning it into a full time income.

During the workshop, I felt glad to meet up with the 2 Blogging Master cum speakers, Steven Wong and Melvin Ng(The Smart Guy in Black Suit). I found them to be knowledgeable, sincere and approachable. In fact, during my conversation with them, I discovered that their passion for conducting the Profit Blogging Workshop was to show more Malaysians how they can increase their income through blogging, as they had done it themselves.

According to them, blogging is one of the easiest and fastest way to make money online that only requires minimal time and investment. The setup cost is negligible and it is suitable for someone with no web designing, programming or even IT technical knowledge.

During their presentation, they shared their 5 Points Profit Blogging System which they personally use, the 3 secrets of successful blogging, and the 3 major reasons why people fail in blogging. Check out the agenda of the workshop from the photo captured in the workshop.

In my opinion, this Profit Blogging Workshop serves as a foundation for people who want to make money on the Internet. I learned that to be successful in blogging or any Internet business, we need to have a ‘Proven System’ and the correct mentoring, which the Profit Blogging Workshop can provide..

Steven and Melvin will be conducting the Profit Blogging Bootcamp on 5th & 6th July 2008. For further info, check out their website at http://asiaonlinemastery.com/

Hey folks, I recently read an Interview With Adrian Diaconescu of Rubiqube. I would like to share part of the interview which talked about essential tools that Adrian used for his freelance work. If you don’t know who is Adrian, here is a short introduction on him:-

My name is Adrian Diaconescu and I’m a freelance designer based in Bucharest, Romania.

Professionally speaking, I tried pretty much everything: the 9 to 5 job, the entrepreneurship,the corporate world. I took the plunge and quit my last day job in March 2007. Since then, I made a lot of new friends and worked on many cool projects.

Freelance design is an exciting form of freelance work, which can be of great fun, creativeness and challenging . However, to successful, modern day designers must use various kinds of available tools. Here is the essential tools to help you success :-

Adobe Fireworks CS3

It is a product from Adobe, which is widely in use for creating and optimising images for the web and rapidly prototyping websites. The primary advantages the software renders are its ability to integrate between Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, improved layer organisation, improved scaling, integrating Adobe Bridge, customisable asset, integration between Flash and Dreamweaver and multi-page support. I guess most of the freelance designers should know about this tool. Personally, I am using Adobe Photoshop to edit some simple images on this blog. Perhaps, I should try out Fireworks as well.

Skype

Well-known application to make phone calls over Internet. It is actually free when the called person is also using Skype, while calls to landlines and cell phones can be made for a pretty low affordable cost. All in all it’s a one-stop shop when it comes to communication with your clients. Personally, I’ve been using it to call my customers from oversea in a very low rate. I guess, the rate is cheaper than the rate offered by any of the local telco such as Maxis, Celcom or Digi.

Thunderbird/FireFox

Mozilla Thunderbird is a free, open source, cross-platform e-mail and news client developed by the Mozilla Foundation. It has number of features that makes it arguably one of the most efficient products in its field. Personally, I would recommend you to Add-On the FireBug to help on website designing. Another good add-on is the color picker which you simply capture a color from any nice website.

Pymo

It is a web portal aimed at the freelancer and managers who are looking for solution to manage, schedule time allocation and adjustments for the involved projects. It has a central database with all employee timesheets in one place, generate the detailed timesheet reports for each employee (in fact reports on employee performance can also be generated). It is ideal for geographically distributed teams. Use this tool to keep track on your project management.

Wordpress

Software that furnishes a way to manage your website is commonly called a CMS or "Content Management System". Wordpress is such kind of web based blogging tool. It has various useful and necessary features. Now, blogging is part of the lifestyle for Freelance Designer. Most of them use blog as the platform to showcase their freelance portfolio just like what Adrian did. Perhaps, you should have a good showcase to show off your previous works. It helps in gaining confident from your client.

These were few of the most reputed and useful tools for freelance Designers. Effective use of these tools can really make your freelance life a lot easier.

In modern times, blogging has become an effective source of Online Money Making for those who are effective enough to know how to use this tool. There are examples where one people is seen making a highly decent revenue while the other is not earning that much. The difference lies in the strategy that has been employed in the business. Not all kinds of blogs are suitable or fully profitable for everyone.

This article will list out some of best known options to utilize in your blogging in order to turn it as powerful as you can:-

Pay per Post Technique

This is a rather common but important and tested strategy. The basic idea is to develop a lot of blogs preferably with their own domain and in various sides of contemporary issues. And then add content to it in a regular manner (Minimum 3 times/week). Once the site is developed enough, you can submit it to Review Me, Loudlaunch, and PayPerPost . You are also required to type out a decent sponsored reviews to earn some fast cash. Check out our previous post on How To Make USD840/month by Blogging.

Selling Text Links

Selling out text links to various web owners, who are looking to enhance their Google PageRank is one of the surefire way around to make money from your blog. However, you must make sure that your site itself is on the top list of Google with High PageRank. Moreover, the contents of the site must justifies its title.

Adopting Adsense/Affliate Marketing Policy

This is one of the finest opportunities of making money from Blog these days. However, contrary to the expectation, not much of the bloggers around have managed to effectively utilize this technique. The foremost requirement of this tactic is to design your blog with some high frequency key phrases and make the blog flourish around a specific topic. Check out JohnChow and ProBlogger on how they earn USD20K++ / month but utilize this opportunity.

Corporate Blogging Opportunity

The main objective is to promote the business. Thus direct income from this strategy is not always achievable. However, the benefit is there, in the form of increased marketing and exposure that the blog will churn out for your business.

Being a Professional Blogger

When you are a professional blogger, you are paid to create content. And sometimes are also given a share of the earnings from Blog’s advertisements.

Thus implementing the aforementioned opportunities guarantees you a smooth and an effectual progress of your blog towards increased profit and exposure.

Stashing away from full time job for blogging is an active bait for many of the starter blogger. Unfortunately, very few actually end up reaching that level, and that too after much privation. The cardinal key is consistency and patience. The pressure of incessantly churning out new content must be dealt with equally fortified persistence.

To really earn a range of full scale income, you have to build up the momentum and this article will discuss some points to show you the way:-

Organizing multiple sources of Income

This is vital to realize that by just advertising in your blog, you’ll not be able to really power up your income stream unless your blog is hugely popular for some reason. For example, talk about some niche topic in your blog just like what ProBlogger talk about making money by blogging.

Thus, the best deal is to develop some other source of income using your blog. For example, introducing some affiliate programs in your blog. You may earn up to 5 digits income just depends on affiliate sales. Check out How JohnChow achieve that with his blog. You can also sell premium contents as another way to add some extra income flow. All these together if effectively combined, can generate some good money over the time flow.

Dealing it as a Business

To generate a consistent financial stream, you must treat your blog as a business instead of a hobby where you can invest your time in an irregular fashion. Save plenty of time for your blog to work on it, you may feel a problematic at first but with time everything will take off smoothly.  Beside these, you must be willing to reinvest some part of the money back into improving your blog. It will open more opportunity for higher revenue. This a crucial part and you must take this step into high consideration.

Managing Multiple Blogs

If you have more than one blog, then you can naturally generate more cash flow. However, having said that, it may sometimes become too onerous to manage all the blogs at a time, in that case, you should concrete the position of one blog and then concentrate more on the other blogs.

A Different Approach

In this approach, you will blog for another blogging side. The advantage is not only you can get the extra income. If your contents are good, you can actively make friends with other bloggers and gradually build a network of contacts, which is indeed very important.

So these are few of the tips to give your blogging dream-start.
