I’m stopping blogging and so should you if your goal is to make money online.

I have largely stopped blogging for the time being and am researching ppc and affiliate marketing using almost all of my free time at PPC-Coach.com. I will start the blog back up once I start seeing some success with ppc and may drop in now and again to post new resources for newbie bloggers setting up their blog. I have discovered that PPC-Coach.com teaches you how to make money online legitimately and without a steep learning curve.

Don’t be afraid to ask for some loose change when you blog!

Blogging doesn’t have a lot of overhead, but you have to pay for your hosting and for all that time you spend posting, marketing your blog, negotiating with the stars of hollywood, etc. Don’t be afraid to ask for donations.

If an article that you wrote provided value to someone, including a quick and easy way for them to say thanks in the amount of their choosing is a great way to help a newbie blogger monetize their blog. A new blogger might not have the advertising masses beating down their door, but when traffic does start to flow in, are you set up for people to say thank you?

I downloaded a wordpress plugin called Buy Me Beer which lets you choose custom beer or coffee icons. It lets you choose a sidebar widget and/or a link below each post for folks to show their love of your work.

Buy me a beer! :)

Google Adsense groks the world, using Adsense Deluxe, you can rock your blog to the max!

So as I’ve mentioned before, I am using a plugin for wordpress called Adsense Deluxe. First thing that I have done to get started was go through and select the coloring of the links and the background of the Adsense ad, attempting to make it look as integrated into the site as possible. The goal of adsense is to serve your customer an alternate link to a related service if they don’t find what they are looking for on your site. And you get paid. Win - Win is always a good mentality to have. After you are done selecting the size of the ad (you can preview to see how big you want it to be, etc) and you’ve selected your colors, you name the ad whatever you want and then it generates the ad code for you.

Well this didn’t appear to be as easy as I hoped in order to make the graphics display neatly on the page. So some tweaking and experimenting and I will let you know how to integrate the ads into the site.-Chad
