Turn Your Part Time Hobby Into A Full Time Business and only work 4 hours a day!

Yes, yes, yes - I finally got my Google PIN number and so no more complaining that my money - the few dollars  - I have made from Google - will eventually pay me - for my writing - for my blog!  Wow, I am so excited!  Remember - all those insomniacs out there are clicking on my adds all night long - how I wish.

Affiliate Marketing really is something I know very little about - but - I plan to learn lots.  Not sure how I will do it -  but - I will do it!

How it works is something like this - I promote a product - on my blog.  In the meantime -  Google Adwords get the search engines to find my site.  I should get more traffic  -  to my blog - and then if someone likes for example an e-book and they order it - I would get a percentage.

I still love the idea of the 4 hour work week! Wouldn't that be wonderful? Without winning the Lotto. Well, that would be nice too.

About that 4 Hour Work Week:
I think having your office at the beach is a great idea.  Thanks Timothy Ferris - well - I'm not there yet!

Hey I better get the book - and some of these other ones look interesting too!


















I am feeling really motivated by the idea of making money and  working less.

Why does it have to be a dream?




I really believe that if they can do - I can do it - and so can you.

Remember these tips:

Build - Theme - Blog - Write - Research - Link - Follow - Lead

Take Baby Steps.  Who said your blog had to be successful in one night?

I can hardly wait until tomorrow to check  my stats!

Remember the computer is always working - even when your not! Oh that was suppose to be a secret - so shhhh don't tell anybody - ok?

I will say it one more time - you can - and you will - make money - while you sleep!

Build Your Blog - Take Baby Steps

I have said it before - and I will say it again - it takes courage and commitment to - build your blog - take baby steps.  Nobody said it would be easy.  You need fresh content.  The more you write and add to your content the better your blog will become.

Not ready for a host program or a Webmaster - hell no - I rather have a raw blog to begin with and see how it goes.

Just thinking that people - hopefully - lots of people - are reading my  blog - my thoughts for the day - is like - wow - this is pretty amazing.

The niche for this blog - is to reach out to the newbie blogger out there - or anyone interested in blogging - to share what works for me and what doesn't.

Maybe I need a better template - hold on - I like this one right now.

Maybe Google Adwords - is working - but might just be too technical for me to understand - will see!

Right now I am using Google Money - from a coupon - so that's okay - but if I start losing my own money - then that won't be okay!

A Blogger's top secret - is Google Adsense. I love it - and they let you use their affiliate Amazon Associates for free.  Free is good - and you can make money too!

I wish they would send me my PIN number so I can take the hold off of my big $20.00!

Today, I would like to teach you - what is a link?  A link is something that will bring you to a specific website.  For example: a link for www.swagbucks.com will take you to that specific site. A link is hypertext code underlined in blue. That's my tip for today - and - swagbucks - gives you free stuff! Free is good!!!!!!!

Today I am going to do a honourable mention to a top Blogger - Seth Godin.


Here are the books mentioned in the video:



Another interesting book by Seth Godin mentioned in the video is called - Tribes.
So remember - be happy - write what you are passionate about.

And most importantly - make money while you sleep!!

Let Makeup Take Your Blog - to Number One on Google

When I woke up this morning the first thing I did was check the stats in Adsense. Adsense is a free on-line tool with Blogger.com or Blogspot.com once you decide to monetize your blog. You will see the tab for that when you start a new blog post.

I was disappointed - it seems no money was made yesterday - for whatever reason. So much for my wish upon a star - to become a number one hit with the google search engine. I told myself - remember - it takes time - to build - a good blog. Especially if your like me - a newbie blogger.

So much for making money while I sleep. Well, some days I actually did - believe it or not.

I am so jealous of those blogging icons who made it rich - 100,000 followers - a book - then a movie deal. Okay then, back to reality.

I was reading today about some of the top bloggers. You know what, they do get honourable mention - but I still like the little guy or gal out there struggling through all of the blogisphere gobbly gook.

I mean - hosting - not in cooking - widgets - not like in midgets - no wonder were looking at the computer in a daze. So much for the newbie blogger out there to learn - and you know what - no matter how long it takes - it doesn't really matter. It's your blog - your words - your own thoughs - so love it - get passionate about it - and just go with the flow.

Personally, one of the top bloggers I read about is Pat Flynn who in the recession was fired and he turned around and formed one of the best on-line blogs called smartpassiveincome.com - wow!  That is definitely a blog worth following.

Maybe that can be my niche - motivating people - to build their blogs through - pure - inspiration.

You know makeup is a great niche for a blog - let's listen in:
I thought I would add some beauty books and products for you Makeup Junkies out there - enjoy.

















Some makeup stories to give you a good laugh!

The Newbie Blogger's Goal - A 4 Hour Work Week

I think that most - new bloggers - all have a dream - to work less - and still make money.

I would love to have a 4 hour work week- how about you?

Is this even possible with blogging?

I even found a video called - The 4 Hour Work Week.  Let's have a listen in.


Now that we see that this is even possible - HEY - there's even a book!  Wow.


So remember - baby steps - create - build - never give up.

You can - and you will - make money while you sleep!

What does it matter - if it takes time to build your blog?  It's your blog!

It's your niche - your voice - your brand - you own it - love it - be passionate about it!

Today, I just want to give the newbie blogger - hope.  You can and will do it.

Don't give up on yourself.


Oh I made $20.00 this month with my newbie blog!  I am so - happy!

I can hardly wait to read my Stats for tomorrow.

Newbie Blogger wonders if she will ever become a Millionaire Blogger?

I had a dream last night that - when I woke up in the morning - my computer was making tons of money - while I was asleep - and wow - just like that - I became a Millionaire Blogger!

So much for the dream - my total for the month so far from Google Adsense is $15.00 but I am so excited.

I talked to a Google Support person tonight and how I discover what I am making is - by subtracting what I make from Google Adsense from - what I am spending using Google Adwords. Since I am using Google Adwords coupon for $75.00 right now - how can I lose?

The customer support person from Google also told me that my add campaign looked good!

Right now I am waiting patiently in the mail for my Google PIN number so that Google Adsense can even pay me.

Back to being a Millionaire Blogger check out this video - from a guy who claims - he has a Millionaire System - going for him!

Wow - that was interesting!  Some people really know how to make money blogging!

I am going to be investigating how backlinks work - basically - you find great sites to link to - and I think they link back to you - once I know, I will let you know.

I'm going to try one link tonight and that is to a site called Flippa.com.  What I read on another blogging site was that someone had a really good paying blog and Flippa.com bought them out for about 20 grand. Wow can  you even imagine? Now that's a great way to make money if you ask me.

So tonight just think - theme - product - theme - product.

Create - explore - inspire - build!

Tonight when I am tucked into bed - I will make a wish upon a Star. Maybe I will make - money - while I sleep.

It's exciting just to look up the Adsense Stats every morning - and hold my breath - and see if anything has happened.

Here is a book I plan on reading to help me with links - oh - backlinks - really?

Mommy Bloggers - They make money while they sleep!

I just cannot say enough about Mommy Bloggers - right now - I think they are so awesome.  I know I have written about them before - they just rule.

Here is a great video from a Mommy Blogger who has 7 kids:

Here are some great Mommy Blogger resources:












The Blog Money Just Keeps Rolling In

I am so excited that this month - so far - my blog has made a whole $15.00.  Yikes - I thought by now I would have made a  lot more - but I am a newbie blogger - trying to learn about all the Tips and Tricks about Blogging.

Has anyone had great success with Google ADWORDS which is an account that I got some free money from to start making money from my blog?  The link for this is: http://www.google.com/ads/adwords2/

I will have to call their toll free number as my program seems to be stuck and nothing is happening.  You can also lose money with this program -  so I want to make sure - it is working - and using Google's money.

Google Adsense which is a free program installed in Blogger when you monetize - that is where I made my big $15.00 - so maybe ADWORDS is just too complicated and not worth the trouble - I will let you know.  Before I lose money with ADWORDS - I can cancel the program if I wish.

So - the blog money - just keeps rolling in - a few cents at a time.  That's okay, I'm earning while I'm learning - which is pretty cool.

I thought I would show a video from another successful blogger - helps to keep motivated.


Some useful resources are listed below:

Become a Blogger Success Story

Will I ever become a Blogger Success Story? I wish - oh how I wish - upon a star.  Finding a theme that works - that is a hard task for a blogger.  One blogger I read about did an entire blog about "belly fat" and I think I read she gets a lot of hits on her blog.  Other successful bloggers - well you know right off the bat - it has to be the founder of facebook - and there was - Cookbook Guru - Amy Smith - just to name a few.

So why not me - and last but not least - why not you?

For new bloggers who don't want to waste time looking for a domain name and set up you just go to:
www.gybo.ca - and this link is fully endorsed by google.

I found a great video to show you from a very successful blogger called RhinosInCharge.



Oh and just for a laugh here is a video from a successful blogger about belly fat.

From the Amazon Associates Button - free with Adsense this is what I found related to Belly Fat


Step 1: Find your theme
Step 2: Use a free blog service such as Blogger
Step 3: Write, write, write - plenty of content
Step 4: Monetize with free google Adsense
Step 5: Play around with your Dashboard
Step 6: Learn some html language
Step 7: Take advantage of the free startup money from Google Adwords
Step 8: Learn everyday how to make your blog better and better.

So always remember - you can go from Zero Blogger to Hero Blogger.
Do it right and you can earn money while you sleep.

All about Mommy and Daddy Bloggers

With the the recession in the United States and some unemployed Dad's in Canada - doesn't it make sense that they would start - stay at home businesses - and like the Mom's who are Mommy Bloggers - they are just Dad's who become - by default - Daddy Bloggers

 
Once the kids are tucked in their beds - the Mommy and Daddy blogging begins - they find themes - to fit their blogs - they buy e-books - on how to blog.

They are passionate - about what they write.

Endorsing products - that - they believe in.

Joining Social Networks - so that they have other - bloggers - to connect with.

All of these Mommy and Daddy bloggers are hoping - that they - like all other bloggers - will make money while they sleep - earn while they learn.

Here some good recommended reading products for Mommy Bloggers - Dad's you have to use them too - nobody has written a good Daddy Blog book yet - sorry!
































So enjoy the rest of your day - always give your kids - a hug and kisses - and stay safe.

A fun blog today - Beauty Secrets - Tips and Tricks

I decided to blog about beauty secrets today - as it is a huge niche - with fantastic growth potential for new bloggers.

Who doesn't want to know how to stretch their dollars - with inexpensive beauty secrets?

One way of saving money is to ask for samples from the drugstore - the ones you love - get the expensive ones for your face.

Use all the other samples you have collected from all of those beauty galas - yes -never ever throw them out - on your neck, elbows, hands and feet.

This funny video is about Vaseline - I'm not kidding.


Personally, I am a Shoppers Drugmart Shopaholic - yes I love all of those Optimum Points - only stock up on 20X the points day.

Always redeem your Optimum Points when you can cash in for 200.00 worth of products - a great way to get most or all of your money back.

Treat yourself to something really nice or stock up on what you really need.

For new bloggers - maybe you will want to call your blog - makeup corner - or makeup junkie - you see what I mean - whatever your niche in the market is - and be passionate about it.  Give reviews on a product.  Personally, I love Jouviance Face Cream - it is like silk on your face - but pricey - that's where redeeming points come in handy.

Have fun blogging - seek out new products to endorse - and love what you do.

Keep your blog fun and be passionate about what you write - that way your readers - will be excited to read your daily tips - and - be with you - no matter what.

I mean if a stay at home Mom, a Mompreneur can do it - make money - with a blog - we should be able to swing it too - don't ya think.

Here's a video from a Mompreneur - enjoy!  It will give you some great start up ideas.




For me, yesterday, was a dud - no money. I guess no insomniac was up all night - clicking on the adds - just kidding.  See - have fun. No pressure.

In the start-up stages - you wake up every morning - checking your Stats to see if you even made one dollar.

OMG - I signed up with Google Adwords - because I got 75.00 worth of free advertising - and the whole process had me - crazy - couldn't they make it a little more user friendly?  I did finally put an add campaign together - but it took me over an hour to go through just the tutorials.

I am just test piloting the Adwords thing - if I start losing their money - I'm pulling the plug. Will see.

Goodluck to all you Mom Bloggers - below - are your must haves:



















Remember - stay safe - and always be kind.

Going from Zero to Hero - Blogging for dollars


Okay, so were at the stage in blogging where I am - confused - totally!!!!!

So, I thought I would post a video from a successful blogger. This man went from living in his van - to having a successful blogging business.  Lets take a listen and get inspired.



Some tools you might want to buy to get you there:

















So I am hoping tonight that some Millionaire blogger is going to share some secrets with me on how to become successful.  I sure can use all the help I can get.  I think I logged into that tool - where they give you money for each word click - but I got all balled up in how to tell them how much a click is worth - so I panicked and got out of the system - too fed up tonight to look that one up.  Anyway, I hope someone out there is learning from my - ups and downs - of navigating through the Blogisphere.  I wonder if my goal of $5.00 a day is going to materialize?  Well, I guess I will just have to check the stats tomorrow - after all - it will be a new day - and the sun will be shining!

Make more money by getting more traffic on your blog

Okay, so I have helped you with the set-up of your blog with very basic tools used by Blogger or Blogspot.com.

Some people have spent years studying and trying to perfect their blog - to me - time - is money.

If someone else out their in the blogisphere can make hundreds and or maybe thousands of dollars blogging - well why not me - or better yet - why not you?

What I am struggling with right now - is I need more traffic.

Watch the following video on how to get more traffic on your blog.


There is just so much to learn about how to get traffic to your blog!

Another day - another dollar!

Recommend this blog to all your family and friends.

Remember - I teach you how to blog - you teach me!

Be Passionate about what your blogging about - that theme - I cannot say enough about it!




Happy Blogging - future entrepreneur - future stay at home Mom's job - or how about - making money from a home based business - making money while you sleep zzzzzzz ya I like that one!

Hopefully some Millionarie Insomniac is clicking and buying all night from the adds - remember Wall Street Never Sleeps.

I can hardly wait to see what the Stats say about my Blog.

My Blog Made More Money Today - Wow I am Impressed

Wow - my blog made me that $2.00 goal - actually $2.57 - am I impressed - yes!

I know I have been giving you advice about how to create a blog, market it with a theme, and now I think the real secret to success is - Amazon Affiliate Marketing!






This little tutorial tells you why it really works!

I can hardly wait until tomorrow to see if my Marketing Stats have increased.

With Amazon affiliate marketing if someone buys a product - you get a percentage - that is why I like Amazon Affiliate Marketing.  With Blogger or Blogspot.com - it's totally free - yet you make money.

Even when your computer is off and your zzzzzzz sleeping away - a few dollars can be adding up - just like pennies from heaven.

Like the video said - people trust Amazon - it has a great reputation and is reputable - that is why people are not reluctant to buy from Amazon.

Just check out the products below that can help make you - Understand Affiliate Marketing!

I am so excited my Blog made money today!

You will laugh your head off when you find out that my blog made me about $1.57 today - wow - put that money in the piggy bank.

I am so jealous when I read stories about people who somehow have managed to find their niche in the market - and they are making at least a thousand a month.

Remember, it takes time and know how to set-up a good blog.  I am teaching you - and hopefully - you will be teaching me.

One thing I need to figure out is the style I want on my blog.  I love Avator comments - yet - still figuring out how to add that to this blog.

The blogisphere is pretty intimidating - yet fun - and adventurous at the same time.

Now that you know I'm a newbie blogger - I guess right now you could call it -  a hobby - that could turn into a business - one day - sooner better than later.

Dream big - that's how I feel.  

Right now I don't need a host company because Blogger is one of the best host companies out there - and it's free.  Enjoy the video.


Links to pages that will generate income on my blog - now that's food for thought.

Researching what your doing - and putting it out there - if your passionate about it - it's probably worth a try.

Build, build, build, theme, theme, theme, research, research, research - you get it!

It's more about the content.  If you can teach someone something - which I am trying to do - about how to blog - that is what it's all about.

You can change the style, play around with things, explore what your looking for.

I hope someone out there in the blogisphere loves my ideas - will offer comments of encouragement.

I don't suppose any famous blogger will come on board and  help out - but us newbies - we can figure it out together.

My goal for tomorrow is to make $2.00 per day.  Don't want to get too greedy.

If you love your Blog that's more important than just making money while you sleep!

If you love your blog - that's more important than just making money while you zzzzzzz sleep! I am a newbie Blogger so it's important to me to be teaching you how to blog - while I am learning - how to blog.

One of the most important tips I can give you is - find your theme!

Research - as you will need a lot of good content.

Then use for example: Amazon - which comes free  from Blogger - to find Affiliate Products to market on your blog.  Adsense is also free on - Blogger!

Let's say you want to build your site around - Everything Babies - a site for Mom's.  You would look in your Amazon browser and type in "babies" or "baby bottles" or "baby car seats" - you see what I mean - that's where you get free affiliate products to promote on your site.

Build your site first - I cannot stress that enough.

Love your site - and - others will too.

Tonight I am just blogging you - a few interesting tips - to sleep on.

Send me mail - so I know how your doing?  Again - what works - and what doesn't.

If this is just a hobby - have fun!

Should it turn into a serious business - well - still have fun.

Only market something you  would buy yourself - tried and true.

One last tip - this is about saving money - which I also blog about - use your Avion Points for airflights - they are great.  I also love the Shoppers Optimum Card - because of the Points - I can afford Jouviance my favourite face cream - it is like silk on your face.

So fellow bloggers goodnite - hope this has helped turn on a few light bulbs about building your blog.

Checking Blog Stats Can Be Confusing for the Newbie Blogger

Traffic -  where is all of my traffic? I have been patiently checking every morning and night - the Stats tab on my  blogs - and - I really need more people reading them - and I just plain don't get it yet.

Using Twitter traffic - I'm tweeting - tweet - tweet!

Facebook - I'm slowly getting use to how it all works.

Google - I hope when I publish in Blogger it will automatically go out to the blogisphere!

Today, for the Blogger Newbies out there - I am going to experiment on this blog using both ADSENSE Adds and Amazon Affiliate Adds - all freebies - so I am getting to know more about blogging every single day.

When I strike it rich - you'll be the first to know.

Anyone have any blogger tips and tricks - blog back in the comments.

Hopefully the traffic is going to get better and so will the blog.

As I sleep I hope all the insomniacs out there are clicking on the adds at a frantic pace - I wish!!!!

Stay tuned.

Blogging for Dummies is the perfect name for a blog cause I feel dumb!

Whoever came up with the name - Blogging for Dummies - should have named a blog after it - not just books - cause after all the hard work of setting up a blog - I feel dumb.

On this blog I am using affiliate adverts from Amazon Associates - totally free.

I read somewhere that Wordpress.org is a better blogger site - but right now - I am not sure why?

Personally I have found Blogspot.com - more user friendly for the first time blogger - ya - all of us newbies out there.

When writing a post it is easy to - save -  go back and forth to the Dashboard - and edit whatever blogs you want.

Blogspot has many useful tabs: Posting, Comments, Settings, Design, Monetize, Stats, and view blog.

Just write and explore - that's my advice tonight - for all you NEWBIE BLOGGERS - out there in the Blogisphere.

Once were making fists full of dollars - hand over foot - whose going to be the dummy then?

Will see! That's the spirit! Blog away!















Oh and by the way - below is my list of Amazon Best Sellers - I highly recommend them as an excellent read.

How to Start a Successful Blog from Day One

Your new to blogging - so am I.

My goal is simple: to make a $1,000.00 a month by letting my blog work for me.

So yes I have to do some leg-work but - overnight - the blog - hopefully - is going to get hit after hit - with traffic - and the payouts will go from dollars a day, to hundred, to even thousands.

First, I will monetize my blog with - ADSENSE.

Hopefully I will get enough mouse clicks to make something - anything.

Once I build this blog and become a little more sophisticated - I will need to find a good Host company.

That will take some research.

I decided maybe trying to find good affiliate products to sponsor on the site - so need to learn more about how to do that.

Step 1: Create your blog - Use Blogspot, Blogger, Wordpress - then find a unique name.

Step 2: Monetize your blog with ADSENSE just to give you a sense that your earning something.

Step 3: Check out Hosting Companies - what they can do for your blog.

Step 4: Find out about affiliate products to sponsor.

Step 5: Send me comments how you have built a successful blog - what works and what doesn't.

Step 6: Find out how to get more traffic on your blog?

Step 7: Links that will send thousands of people to your blog.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST - you should be excited - cause maybe after reading this - you will set-up your new blog for the first time - be happy about that.  Let me know how your doing.

Send me lots of comments so that we can move together from baby steps to giant ones.

So - cheers to the launch of the SMARTYPANTS Blog! Hope to hear from you all soon.
