Making Money with a Small Blog

So everyone obviously knows I'm a beginner blogger and trying to make it into a living since I love to write. I would love to make a living doing what I love. I have recently come across and been given an opportunity to review a book I received for free in exchange for and honest and unbiased review.

The book is called "How to Monetize a Small Blog" and it's author is Luke Weil. It is a very small and thin book so don't worry for all of those who hate reading bookks especially if they are big, but the key to success as they say is knowledge and determination. So if you want to succeed then you now what you gotta do. Alright so back to the book review.

The book has only a few chapters in the book and they go right into detail about the chapter title which I like. The chapters and details entailed in each are the following I will discuss in a brief way that is. The first is about Direct Advertising which goes in detail about the pro and cons of using advertising in your blog. It also talks about text links, banner ads and sidebar ads in more detail. Some good information is n this section if you plan to use direct advertisning.

The second chapter is about Sponsored Content which is pretty much what I'm into trying at the moment which goes in detail about paid advertorials and blending sponsored content. It talks a little about how to go about doing each and what to be aware of when considering them.

The third chapter is about Display Advertising which include banner and graphics mostly. When you think of using banners or graphics you must consider the price points and whether you will be using images, audio or even videos. These things are explained in this chapter and how to benefit from them.

The fourth chapter is about Advertising Networks which include the pros and cons to them. It mainly talks about using AdSense as a way to make money and how easy it is. This is one of my favorite chapters.

The fifth chapter talks about Affiliate Marketing which goes in detail about the main companies that offer it and that are considered the better ones to join. The top 3 companies he talks abotu ins Amazon, Clickbank and Commission Junction. He tells that you make money through visits, purchases and registrations with these companies in order to make a commission.

The sixth chapter explains Branded Sponsored Campaigns. It details what they are and how big companies use them. It also tells you what the big companies look for in your blog when considering you for this, which are, if you target a certain audience, the relevance of your blog and if you can maintain credibility.

The seventh chapter explains Building Mail Lists and how to go about doing so. It tells how you will monetize from this by having outstanding content and being clear when you speak to your audience and the companies.

I would recommend this book because it has many good aspects and explains much things in detail and gives you examples.

Mini Keyboard Goes A Long Way

The product we will be reviewing is the Wireless Mini Bluetooth Keyboard made by the company TWOBIU . The keyboard is black in color. It has 49 responsive keys using a QWERTY layout. There are color LED to show you when it is working. This keyboard has a li-ion battery. It charges in about 3 to 4 hours. This keyboard is also great for gaming, emailing, texting and even chatting. How To Use: Turn on the keyboard. Press the pair button on the top left side of the keyboard. Turn on the bluetooth on your device. Find "Bluetooth keyboard!" on the list when scanning for bluetooth's. I have tried out this little baby and it works good. At first I was a little confused because my manual came only in chinese which I definitely can't read. The keyboard is so lightweight and small to where you can actually carry it in your pocket when you leave out and even in your purse without taking up so much space. You can charge in about two and a half hours and it lasted be major...

Crystal bracelet

The product we will be discussing today is the Crystal Bracelet made by the company Crystal . The bracelet is for women and has a lot of crystal on it. It runs 18 cm or 7 inches long. The bracelet has a gold plated color with a metal finishing on it. I have worn the bracelet a few times while going out with the girls and on a casual day as well. It fits very well on my wrist, not being too small nor too large. The fit is basically perfect as you will see in the end of this review. The feeling of the bracelet is nice where you don't have any scratches left on your skin from it. The clip on hook lock mechanism keeps your bracelet from falling off your wrist even if your dancing. At times the bracelet does get stuck onto some of my sweaters at the wrist section of the sweater and some shirts as well too. With most costume type jewelry the color seems to fade away but the crystal bracelet else has yet to change any colors nor fade. I recommend this bracelet because it looks very e...

The Lucky 7

First off I want to say that I love to cook in my house and enjoy using tools that make it more easier and faster. So today I am going to be reviewing the Premium 7 Piece Kitchen Gadget Utensil Tool Set made by the company Vintage Kitchen . This 7 piece utensil tool set consists of  a peeler, ice cream scooper, pizza & cheese slicer, multi-purpose grater, avocado slicer and a multifunctional bottle opener. They are all made of steel and plastic. The color of the utensils are turquiose and they are dishwasher safe. So I used this for the first time and I got to say that I actually like them a lot. The first utensil I used was the pizza slicer when I made some pizza for my clients at the nursing home I work at part time. The pizza slicer cuts so smooth and thorough too. The other utensil I used was the peeler. I used the peeler for dinner at home when I peeled potatoes and I would recommend this product because they all work properly and look awesome. The quality of the ...
