DONT BITE ME OOO.... just my opinion

DJMONACO: thank God i saw dis thread. I created a blog with wordpress just recently and what remains is customizing d blog.....cn someone pls give me tips on it abeg

What do you want to customize?

robonski15: I am currently working on my blog.. Is it advisable to change from "" to ".com!! Like someone once advised to have a distinct and direct name... Thanks

Yes, very advisable, get a distinct, short, easy to memorize domain name

cynhamscakes: I will need a little help in developing my blog (everything) . Though i don't blog for money. I only use it as a means to show off my cakes to potential clients.

But i want to be posting recipes soon so i need to work on the blog.


Like how much will it cost me? My email add is cynhamscakesandpastries@gmail.com. Blog: www.cynhamscakes..com.

Let me recommend someone... Twitter handle: @komboconcepts or visit his website: www.komboconcepts.com for some of his works.

DailyNews: You're right that someone can earn above $1000 via Google Adsense, but its not common, its not easy and very rare. I am a hubber at hubpages since the past 5 years now, and there is where u get the highest earners on Google Adsense.

Some of the highest earners there earn from $1000 to $2000 monthly and these are white gurus who are experts in SEO, niche-based blogging, etc.

A guy I know from Texas once earned $5000 a month, and google closed his account with policy violation as excuse and he said he didn't deviate from Google Adsense policy.

To earn $1000 and above consistently every month via Google Adsense isn't so easy even with high traffic. My main blog get between 5000 to 10,500 daily traffic and other of my supplementary article blogs with 3000, etc daily traffic still don't earn me consistent $1000 every month. It keeps fluctuating. So I know what I am saying.

Though nothing is impossible. But the greatest way to make more money via blogging is to work towards getting direct advert placements, sponsored posts and selling some brands and products as affiliate marketer via referral. CJ and Clickbank are some of the best in those aspects.

But I have come to realise that people who venture into blogging just to make money hardly make money. I made my first money via blogging by mistake I couldn't believe it the very day Google sent me my first pay check...and even the day I go a request for direct advert, I never expected it. So be focused, enjoy your blogging....tell your friends to visit....use social media marketing and pormotion and you will surely make money from your blog at the right time.


Lastly, you need to make your blog layout so sweet and appealing. So many people keep writing me to please help them design their blog to look like mine. Mine is like a home...in fact if u visit, you will be so amazed...especially if u visit with a computer, u will be wowed, Linda Ikeji blog is just booming cos of her already popularity, if not eh

Nice... bt bro.. outside hubpages... boiz dey hammer over $1000 monthly.. you cant know unless you have personal relationship with dem, coded and simple boiz... LOL... Trust me, I have my facts..

I need to salute my black Nigerian Guys if you say White Gurus make between $1000-$2000, then my guys are Wizards... LOL

When you say daily traffic, what do you mean? PageViews, Page Visitors, Unique Visitors or what.. and is you statistics from Analytics or Jetpack plugin [Site Stats] ? ..

Please can you paste url to your blog?

Pardon my Gbagaun. Thanks

Joe50:

wait let me explain;

- first blog: i was having no idea on blogging, so i thought is a get rich quick means so i invited my friends to be helping me to click the ads, so when the money gets to the trench hole for address verification that's where i was quickly banned.

- second blog: i started reading others blog and google more information about blogging, so i realized that clicking once own ads is against policy. so i used different networks to be clicking it, so when the money gets to the trench hole for address verification i was quickly banned again

- third blog: i never use any different ip or ever click on my ads, i was even afraid to click on it, but i was surprised when my account was also banned again, this time they did not complain of invalid click but says false impressions views... meself no even understand the english, until i google it again, so i was able to understand what it means, by not even opening or previewing your blog yourself because when blog is viewed yourself, you are generating false impressions which is against adsense policy.

- fouth blog: i really sat down and google every means to be successful with adsense, so i come across with ads blogger so that ads can not be shown when you are previewing your blog, so i did every thing possible not to even see my own ads not even talk of clicking on it. but to my surprised again i was banned , beside i even used different computer ooo

so there i just gave up

Omo na wa oo... just grow ur blog well and work on direct links for advert...

Pardon my Gbagaun. Thanks

DailyNews: My advice to any aspiring blogger is: don't ever go into blogging just to make money! Go into it for passion and as a hobby. Chose a niche that you enjoy talking about even with your friends and that will give u a leverage over others and make u stay even when the money isn't coming.

I blog too, but as a passion, hobby and interest and not basically to make money but it earns me money anyway, so I also pocket it.

I earn money blogging via Google Adsense (big, smiles), Ad Dynamo (3000 naira so far, lolz), few direct adverts (not consistent), commission junction affiliate marketing and some sponsored posts too.

I started blogging in 2006, but then I was into poetry and fiction blogging, never knew that I was supposed to monetize my blogging then. I only started entertainment and news blogging a few years ago...

If you want to make good money blogging, then you must grow your blog to become one of the most popular blogs in your nation to attract direct adverts and not just Google adsense.

Google adsense can only earn you some cash, highest is $1000 a month and you can't earn that consistently from adsense by blogging about entertainment and celebrity gossip.

[s]To earn big with google adsense, you need to focus on tech blogging, how to's, romance, marriage, etc...and you need rich text and high cpc topics.[/s]

Linda earns around 3million a month, that's true and not fiction and its cos she is the number 1 entertainment blog in Nigeria...Bella Naija earns a good amount too. Both are the highest earned bloggers in Nigeria, and what helped them was their early positioning, gender and association with celebrities and entertainment players back then.

But with consistency, hardwork, dedication and passion, every blogger can earn some passive income even while he or she sleeps. I am a living witness....and its exciting to earn passive and multiple income from everything you do in life.

Lastly, to grow as a blogger, don't be a copy and paste blogger. If you copy other blogs, please reference them, that will make readers and observers respect your blog and visit regularly. But if they discover that u are a copy and paste blogger who pretend to be the original source, most matured and sensible readers would stop visiting your blog.

Visit other top blogs, drop comments, don't just read and go...drop comments with your blog address...one or two readers of that blog may also visit your blog.

Blogging is a good and profitable venture than wasting time online chit-chatting. I will advice every youth out there to monetize his/her online activities and stop playing online while others build their businesses online. Students need to own a blog...it will help polish your english and also give you a voice of your own.

Even if u don't earn money blogging, it worths it...it gives u a personal voice to reach out to the world and to also make meaningful friends. Goodluck.

In as much as I respect ur opinion on this topic, I must say some of ur statements are not valid,you can earn as much as possible not that the highest is $1000, hanhan! ... Well over $1000 sef depends on how popular and high visitors yu get on ur blog,

Again you can get it CONSISTENTLY as long as you keep doing whats right and obeying Google's policies

Before I forget too... To earn big with google adsense, you need to focus on tech blogging, how to's, romance, marriage, etc. This is just wrong, the truth is "Focus on what you love and have passion for... what you believe people wanna check on a daily" not necessarily tech, romance... By the way Entertainment/Music blogs drive lot of traffic these days especially in Nigeria.

All the best guys

Pardon my Gbagaun. Thanks

You wanna make money from your blog especially through Adsense? You have to spend money first....

-> Invest in your SEO,
-> Get quality backlinks,
-> Do less of blackhat shii,
-> and be PATIENT...

As long as you working towards a direction, don't be discouraged, your mulla will come ur way some day, and the moment ur SEO makes sense, your Adsense will make sense too and you start getting high pageviews, unique visitors and page visitors , you can then present proposals to Corporate bodies to come place their advert/product on your blog...

In all be PATIENT!

Pardon my gbagaun. Thanks

Joe50: google don ban my adsense tire, I created almost four blogs but all adsense disabled due to invalid click. from there I gave up.

Why will u be clicking ur adverts by urself to increase clicks and in turn income.. Google smart well well... sorry sha

Just as she did with Bottom Belle, Omawumi is once again ready to experiment with a whole new different sound. The song, a fast paced jam that will soon become the favourite of all fun lovers has been released. Speaking concerning the new single, Omawumi said is basically to mentor the young ones.

[size=16pt]CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD[/size]


“Probably due to my modest upbringing, you can’t see me praising myself. But with this song, I did something different. This song will inspire the young ones to stand out in everything they do and be very positive about life. It’s challenge to all of them. No matter what, they can be the best in everything they do”. While trying to give meaning to ‘Somori’, a Yoruba slang, Omawumi described ‘Somori’ as someone that can’t be ignored. “A ‘somori’ is someone that is highly respected in the society.

The idea of this song is different from my previous songs. It’s a new school kind of dance music and I deliver it well”. Her recent performance at the 80th birthday of Chief Tony Anenih, the Chairman of PDP Board of Trustees has been described as extra ordinary. She thrilled all the important dignitaries at the event including the Nigerian president and stage governors in a very unusual way.
