Let's talk about starting to making some REAL money from your blog. If you're like me, you probably enjoy blogging, right? You enjoy the connection....the freedom of expression, the art and science of creating new content and the feedback you get from "friends" in the blogosphere when you create stuff that connects.

But most bloggers are broke. It's true - I said it, and even the "experts" out there who are trying to "teach" you how to blog don't have a real clue about how to blog for bucks full time. Because these types of blogs...and people, are a dime a dozen.

Blogging for BUCKS is a strategy of scale

And it's actually super easy to do. You've got to think about leverage. Tools and technologies are KEY to building blogs that convert into cash. Never think about "one" blog. Think scale. Links, for example, are the KEY to getting your blogs ranked higher. The more disparate spots, related to your blog that link to you, the more authoritative your blog becomes.

Here is the trick ( and how you can start to make some serious cash....super quick)

Use tools to manufacture your own authority. Think scale. (not singularity) Create a minimum of 4 new blogs a month, using automation tools and link all of those sites to your main "money" site. Use social sites, hubs, bookmarking tools and automation scripts to put as much of your blog marketing plan on autopilot as possible. If you don't....it becomes overwhelming, and while you "might", the chances are you'll NEVER make real money from your blog.

And lastly...think of blogs as a GREAT opportunity to sell affiliate products. So many of the blogging "gurus" and experts miss this completely. Building blogs around affiliate offers is a great way to use automation like above....make a lot of money, and yet keep your MAIN blog (the one where you write about your own life and professional endeavors) completely separate, and well insulated about even having to worry about being profitable at all!
