The US now is suffering from its financial crisis. It actually started last 2008 but until now, the US is still suffering from it. In fact, its debt almost defaulted.
But would be its effect in online making money?
Many bloggers are talking about it already. Someone said that we should be prepared. We need to save more money so that in case there would be crisis in making money online, we still have money to use for other way of finding our livelihood.
But most of the bloggers if that will happen will suffer from the consequences. They already love the way they are making money. And it would be hard for them to work in some other ways.
However, as of now, I can't say that bloggers are affected already with this crisis. There are many bloggers are still earning thousands of dollars from their blogs through Adsense, CPALead, Leadbolt and other similar monetization platform.

There's Really Money in Blogging
I am still in the early days of blogging. I tried to follow the advices of my mentor, Mr Sustines Laplana, but it's just too hard especially that writing is not really what I wanted to do. But just like what I said tried so much.
There are times actually that I told my self that maybe people who said that they are successful blogging are just faking it so that people will buy their seminars, ebooks and other tutorial services. But when my mentor showed me the check he received from Clickbank for selling Clickbank products, I realized that there is really money in blogging.
Mr. Laplana told me that he was not actually doing an internet marketing activities like what his friends are doing it. What he did, according to him, is just display ads on his blogs regarding the Clickbank product he was promoting. And with that, he earns commissions from the sold items.
What I saw actually inspires me to blog more in hopes that I can even earn money even not as high as Mr. Laplana is earning. What I really like in blogging is that even if the blogger is not doing anything, he is still earning money.
By the way, I found a new and very long blogpost that might inspire you to blog too. You can check it at Mr. Sustines Laplana blog. The blogpost is titled, "I Make Money Online by Blogging in the Philippines."
The blogpost actually tells us who Mr. Laplana is. Then he also mentioned his monthly income in blogging. Just read the blogpost and you'll find out more.

Traffic from Google News
Search Engine Result pages is not the only one sources of traffic in the internet. There are lots of it. You can have traffic coming from Facebook, Bookmarking sites, Articles sites, and others websites that has millions of traffic. But other good source of traffic is the Google News.
Google News is a product of Google that syndicates news around the world.It's like a website of a collection of news and currently millions of users are using this because it's been easy to find news around the world by using this kind of Google product.
In the Google News, you could only read the summary of the news. In order for you to read the whole content of the news, you need to click the link to the source. In other words, you'll be reading the whole content at the website of the source of the news itself.
Because of this, Google News can be a great source of traffic for your website. But you need of course to make unique and quality news content available at your website and then submit your website to the Google News Team for approval. Once approved and Google picked up your news, it will be featured at the Google News website and users will find your website through it.
So, if you want to gain more traffic for your blog or website, then you need to work hard and optimize your blog or website for the Google News. In that way, you'll not just receive traffic from search engines, but from Google News as well.

Gaining Organic Traffic
Traffic coming from the search engines is considered as organic traffic. This is the kind of traffic that many bloggers are trying to gain. According to those who are already blogging for quite sometimes, traffic coming from the search engines is constant and is easy to convert to money.
In other words, I should also get more organic traffic for me to successfully earn money from the blogs that I created.
I checked the stats of the blogs today and I found out that no one who came from search engines that visited my blogs. There are few visitors I noticed but according to the stats, they are coming from the other blogs in the blogspot.com. I guess, these visitors simply clicked the Random Blog link above every blogs in the blogspot.com.
In my quest to gain traffic from the search engines, I understand that I need to do something so that my blog will be ranked on the top position at the search engine result pages because according to some reports, those webpages ranked at the top of the SERP are those who are most likely visited by internet users who are using the search engines in searching for the information.
But in order for the blog to be listed on the top of the SERP, a blog or webpage should have higher PR points first. PR points can be earned through backlinks from other websites or from within the blog itself.
But I should not forget to optimize the blog as well for the keywords that I will targeting. This can be done by making the title of the blogpost, content of the blogpost and title of the blog search engine friendly. These things are the most popular techniques.
These activities actually called Search Engine Optimization.
But where can we get backlinks for our blog?
I was reading a lot of articles for the past days and I realized that there are actually a lot of sources of backlinks that we can get. And they are:
1. Bookmarking sites
2. Social Networking Sites
3. Other Blogs and Websites
4. Feed syndicators.
I will be talking on my future posts about these things.

Selling Clickbank.Com Products
After reading few internet marketing materials I found in the internet, I immediately realized that making money from the internet through a blog doesn't confine only in displaying CPC ads like those served by Google Adsense and other advertising companies. A blogger who has his own blog can also earn money by selling products from the Clickbank.com.
There are many products offered through the clickbank.com. But the most profitable of these products are electronic products like ebook and software or scripts. But not all electronic products are also profitable but only those that offer monthly subscription.
The process goes like this: If a customer bought an ebook with monthly subscription through your referral, you will be immediately paid the commission on selling the product and then after that, you be paid again for the monthly subscription.
I already tried it by using the email marketing. I send emails to the prospects email telling them about the product. Out of 100 prospects, there are 9 of them bought the product plus the subscription. So far today, I already had $98 in my account.
I still don't know if selling clickbank products is effective using this blog. I have to test for it yet. But for now, I am 100 percent sure that it's not effective in the sense that this blog has no organic traffic yet. There might be few visitors who visited this blog but they're just bypassers. They have no intention in doing anything on this blog.
I still have many things to do to the blog. And one of these is driving traffic into this blog. I think, I already talked about driving traffic on my previous post and how important is the traffic in making money online by blogging.
I am still testing some SEO techniques whether they are effective. Once I can find the effective SEO technique that will be the time that I will finalize everything hoping that one day, this blog will top any keywords in the SERP.

Traffic, Important to Home Business Blog
Like I said, I was reading a lot of articles available hoping that I would learn the things that I need to learn to make my home based business which is this blog will prosper a little if not so fast. And one of the things that I learned is that I need to drive traffic into this blog.
A Make Money Online Philippine blogger, Mr. Sustines Laplana, repeatedly said that traffic is the blood or the life of a blog. Without traffic, a blog is dead.
I realized that what he's saying is true. Just imagine a blood of your body. Isn't it the one who carries the oxygen into our whole body system? Which in short, if there is no blood in our body, there will be nothing to deliver the oxygen into the entire system of the body which will result to a massive failure of our body's organs.
The same is true to this blog. I already have this blog. I posted journals or blogposts here. But what happen if there will be no one who will read this blog? It will absolutely became useless. Besides becoming useless, you will never earn even a single cent from your blog. Remember that it's your blog's visitors whom you are trying to convince to visit the advertised links in your blog or to buy the advertised products on your blog.
In other words, a blogger should strive hard to gain traffic or visitors into the blog. There are actually two types of traffic that we can get for the blog: (1) Organic traffic (2) Non-passive.
Organic traffic is the traffic coming from the search engines. Other experts called it a passive traffic. It is passive in the sense that you are not doing anything just to get traffic but you are just relying on the search engine whether who will it redirect into your blog.
When I say you are not doing anything in getting the traffic, I don't mean that you will not be doing anything because in the first place you will strive hard, you will do what ever ways that might bring your blog into the top list at the Google search result pages. Once your blog is listed on the top page, then expect visitors to come from the search engines.
Organic traffic is quite different to the non-organic traffic. Non-organic traffic are those traffic coming from your invitation. These visitors visit your blog because they have seen your invitation to visit your blog. Once you stopped inviting people to visit your blog, then there will be no one who will visit your blog.
So, what are the ways we can do to get traffic for our blog?
Okay, I have compiled the ways that I know. And they are: (1) SEO, (2) Advertisement (3) Recommendations.
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It is a technique used by bloggers and webmasters to ensure that their blog will gain the higher ranking on the search engine result pages. In includes that optimization of the title of the page, title of the post, keyword density of the articles, internal linking and external linking. This technique make use of the possibilities that the search engines will rank a website.
Advertisement can be a good source of traffic but it is of course expensive. You'll be paying the advertising platform or services just to display your advertisement. There are several types of advertising schemes, and these are CPA or cost per click, CPM or cost per thousand of impressions and CPA or cost per action.
Recommendations can actually be done by telling your friends or loveones to visit your blog. Usually, it is the worst way of gaining traffic since those visitors who visited your blog through this less likely will do an action that will let you earn money from your blog. Perhaps, they might be the reason why you'll be banned from ad publishing services like the Google Adsense and others.
Well, I still have lots of things to write but I think, it's just enough for the day.

Building A Home-Based Business
When talking about home business, many people think immediately of a Sari-Sari store, a cellphone loading system, livestock business, cooking business and there are many businesses that people considered a home based business.
On the other hand, people who are pond of internet think immediately of an internet-based business if someone will mention home-based business. This is because many internet users who are already earning money by simply surfing the web. These people who earn their living from the internet might be bloggers, e-marketers, free lancer and article writers. And this is where I want to be part with.
While not posting anything here on this blog for several days, I was actually thinking of ways that I can start earning money from the internet. I was hoping that through this blog, I will start to learn ways on how to get income just like what other people are doing.
I heard that many Filipinos are already quiting from their day-time job and focused in the internet. And most of them are quite successful from it. Some are already having an monthly income of more than $3,000. How nice even if I can only get $1000.
But it's not too late. I know, somehow, I will reach that goal.
For now, I am still busy reading articles about blogging and making money online, hoping that the knowledge that I will get from reading those articles will help me build my own home-based business.
Please give me some advice.
P.S.
By the way, I found another blog created by newbie in this business. He's blog is Blog For a Living.
