<h3>Herschel Lawhorn answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Most die-hard bloggers have heard that you can make money blogging, but some don’t realize how easy it can be. From Google Adsense to pay per post deals, it’s never been easier to make money blogging. But should a blogger sell out to a pay per post or add revenue site? What are the most popular pay per post blog revenue sites to make money blogging today?</p>
<p>Blogitive, at http://www.blogitive.com is a pay per post site that offers jobs on a first come, first served irregular basis. When clients buy advertising, the jobs are posted, and the first bloggers to accept the jobs get them. Pay is $5 per post, but a little creative writing work is necessary to get blogitive to accept a blog posting. You are given a lengthy press release, and you must incorporate it into your blog along with a link to the client. You must only use one client link, which is attached to a special keyword. Blogitive pays decently, and is somewhat reliable with payment. Jobs are infrequent, but the more blogs you have listed with blogitive, the better your chances of obtaining a job will be. They pay every dime you make money blogging through paypal.</p>
<p>Bloggingads, at http://www.bloggingads.com is a startup blog pay per post site. They also pay $5 through paypal per ad. They offer the entire ad, which can be copied word for word and pasted into the blog, or you can make the ad your own by altering it. It is an easy way to make money blogging. Bloggingads does not have a lot of jobs to offer, but they pay for the test blog entry. Unlike blogitive, bloggingads puts their client / blogger information on the same page. Blogitive puts its client advertisements on a separate site that is not attached to the blogger base.</p>
<p>Blogsvertise, at http://www.blogsvertise.com is a newer blog pay per post site. Blog sites must be approved, and topics are assigned to members. They do not offer a press release. You must check for tasks, and they pay through paypal. This site is not necessarily for link exchange, but more so for buzz growth. They pay ten dollars for an entry, which is a good rate to make money blogging, but if the quality of the blog increases, pay increases. They are not too selective with blogs as long as they are blogs with real writing in it and not bot writing. </p>
<p>Pay Per Post, at http://www.payperpost.com is a blog revenue site that is very selective with the blogs it chooses, but assignments are easy. The problem with pay per post is that they do not always make clear regulations, they have a tiny link to track blog posts, which leads to confusion, and they are not very user-friendly for all bloggers. In addition, they require a lot of personal information to submit your blog, a practice that has bloggers leery of their practices. Some feel that pay per post is an awful way to make money blogging. Pay per post pays relatively well depending on the project. Some offer over ten dollars for the post. Of course, these sites are only for pay per post. There are other ways to make money blogging like Adsense, pay to blog which is basically a glorified blog site. The pay per post sites are great because a blogger can use a little bit of time and make a nice amount of grocery money. As clients increase, pay per post jobs become more frequent, which is quite nice for those who make money blogging. The problem with pay per post blogging is basic. If you want to make adsense money, it is likely that your blog will be picked on eventually as an SEO link spammer. </p>
<p>Some will not make money blogging both with Adsense and pay per post. To keep this from happening, a lot of blog for cash sites suggest against the pay per post types of revenue sites if your Google ranking is better than five. Proponents of pay per post sites clarify that Google Adsense is often a limited venture, with very little revenue possible for most bloggers, so why not pay per post to make money blogging. Pay per post does tend to look funny on some blogs, and others it is basically used as a writing challenge or fun game of “Let’s see how I can get this ad to fit in my blog.”</p>
<p>The more serious of bloggers try to keep one “virgin blog” without advertisements of any kind and then run a few revenue blogs at the same time. For the prolific, this arrangement can net a little extra money and prove to be a great diversion. Pay per post sites are yet another way to make money blogging, a trend that is certain to grow as bloggers and companies needing the buzz of the blog unite for mutual benefit. If you want to make money blogging, all you need is a blog, some time, and the willingness to participate.</p>

<h3>Herschel Lawhorn answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">First off, definitely get your own domain name, it will be a lot better for you in the long run.  As far as monetizing a blog, there are many different ways, you mentioned advertising which is the obvious choice, however you need a large amount of traffic to make a decent amount of money with advertising.  Affiliate marketing can be a great way to make money, depending on your niche.  Amazon and eBay have programs that allow you to show products on your site, and get a % based commission off every sale made.  You can also sign up with an affiliate marketplace, like Click Bank - they have many different products you can sell in a variety of niches.  Some of them pay as high as 75% commission.  You can also run a membership site, where some of the content is free, and the rest is hidden unless you are a paid member.  Again you'll need a decent amount of traffic for this, and really good content.</p>

<p class="dtm-content">Hi Andy,</p>
<p>It sounds like you are using WordPress.com (the free service), and not the WordPress.org software on a self hosted site.</p>
<p>If this is the case, then the short answer is, you can't do that with a WordPress.com site.</p>
<p>Here is a support page from WordPress.com that explains some of the differences between the two systems:</p>

<p>But, what I need to know how to have the domain <strong>URL</strong> point straight to the <strong>blog</strong> without having to move files into the root directory.

<h3>Herschel Lawhorn answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">You can have as many WordPress blogs installed under one hosting account as you want as long as they are all installed in separate folders and have separate SQL databases installed for each WordPress blog.  It sounds like you have done this correctly.</p>
<p>WordPress should be installed to the root of each of these new folders you created.  If you install WordPress to a subfolder like exampleblog1.com/blog then you have just unnecessarily added another subfolder that you didn't need to add, unless of course you want to install 2 blogs under the root of one domain. In that scenario you would be using one WordPress installation as a main site and then the other WordPress installation would be a designated blog site under the main site.</p>
<p>On the root of your domain / website you want to create these folders and then install WordPress separately into each folder.  This is the best structure and naming convention to avoid name resolution problems and many other problems.</p>
<p>Exampleblog1.com<br />
exampleblog2.com<br />
exampleblog3.com</p>
<p>Before I answer the question, as I understand it, I want to point this out.  There are a couple of different ways to set up your WordPress blog. The default state of your WordPress blog is to have all your latest posts posted to your blog home page in typical blog fashion ie most current post is posted at the top, next oldest post is below, next post, etc.  An alternative WordPress blog setup is to have a your home page be a static page.  Which then means you can designate another page as your "official" blog page on your website.  The practical use for this setup method is when you want your Home page to have content on it that you want to pretty much stay consistently the same instead of having all your latest posts posted on your home page.</p>
<p>Ok so now the answer:</p>
<p>Click on your Settings Panel in your WordPress Blog.<br />
Click on General.<br />
You will see these 2 setting options:<br />
WordPress address (URL)<br />
Blog address (URL)  Enter the address here if you want your blog homepage to be different from the directory you installed WordPress.</p>
<p>This gives you the option to designate a different blog homepage besides the default root of your website and which is going to also be your homepage.  If you see exampleblog1.com/blog as your URLs under your general settings this means that you installed WordPress to the exampleblog1.com/blog folder and not the root folder, which would not have /blog on the end of the URL. If this is the case I recommend that you move your WordPress blog by following these instructions &gt;&gt;&gt; http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress  &gt;&gt;&gt; it is quick and easy to do.  Unless of course you intend to have a main WordPress website and then another WordPress website under that main site acting as a separate blog.  An example of this scenario can be seen on my website &gt;&gt;&gt; http://www.ait-pro.com/  My main WordPress website has another WordPress installation under a subfolder called /aitpro-blog.  I wanted to have my main site not look and act like a typical WordPress blog and wanted my blog to look and act completely like a WordPress blog.  Both sites look visually identical so to a visitor they cannot tell that they are actually switching between two different WordPress sites - you get the best of all worlds using this method. In contrast you can have a WordPress blog not look like a blog at all and even hide the designated blog posting page like I did here (I used the Exclude pages from Navigation WordPress plugin)  &gt;&gt;&gt; http://www.visionsign.net/vision/</p>
<p>So let's say you want to set up your Home page as a static page, which in your case you may or may not want or decide to do.  You would then create a new blog page or designate an existing page on your website to be the designated "official" blog page instead of the home page.</p>
<p>To setup up a static home page (Front Page) and a designated Blog page (Posts Page)<br />
Click on your Settings panel.<br />
Click on Reading.<br />
You will see these options.<br />
Front page displays either your latest posts option or a static page.<br />
Then you just choose whatever page you want as your Front page and whatever page you want as your Posts page.</p>
<p>Hopefully I answered your question and maybe gave you some more ideas and options to think about.  One thing I would like to impress on you is that it is better to set things up optimally right from the very beginning, otherwise you could end up costing yourself a lot of time if you end up having to redesign your WordPress blog later on.  Good luck!</p>

<h2>WordPress!?</h2>
<p>I have a <strong>wordpress</strong> blog now, but I can't figure out how to get readers into there!  I have been using myspace and it's been great, subscriptions like crazy, but a lot of them don't have <strong>wordpress</strong>...so no leads there.  Besides, I am posting the same info to both, so it's not much of a point of them getting one.  How can I increase my <strong>wordpress</strong> readership?  I already utilize tags, but I still only got about 89 views in two weeks.  </p>
<p>Thanks in advance--serious answers only, please!</p>

<h3>Herschel Lawhorn answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Commenting on other blogs is a great way to get traffic to your blog. Another really good way is to use sites like Stumble Upon. I get 500-800 visitors a day some days just from Stumble Upon.<br />
I am also a member of a social power linking group. We share posts with each other and vote up the ones we like.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To most people who operate their business online, the use of a blog is second nature , but there are copious amounts&nbsp; of businesses that are not allowing the massive potential available from the internet for&nbsp;sales lead generation to boost awareness of their products&nbsp; and grow their business, and therefore if&nbsp;this&nbsp;post is&nbsp;talking about you and your business&nbsp; , then this article is primarily for you.</p>
<p>It is&nbsp;now very common&nbsp;today that  , businesses have several strategies in place in which to market their products or services online , but blogging, just like social media, is overlooked by  those business owners who see the internet as just another 'thing' to contend with.&nbsp;businesses not prepared to change the way they do things, because their current way is the way 'they have&nbsp;always done it.'&nbsp;&nbsp; Any Internet Marketeer will look to&nbsp;emphasise the message to this kind of business owner&nbsp;&nbsp; that it&rsquo;s through the media of blogging that a business can very quickly  increase their web presence and boost  the money they make through the internet . It is just a case of knowing how. So if you haven't already started a blog, you should start one now, without any more delay.&nbsp; After all, you can blog for free and reap the rewards this type of free advertising can bring.</p>
<p>There are easily more than 100 million blogs in existence out there on the internet with millions being added all the time .&nbsp; Having a blog as part of its marketing strategy a business can gain loyal readers and potential clients who will subscribe to the blog just to see what is new.&nbsp; It is vital , therefore to ensure&nbsp; that the blog is up to date with lively, interesting, and relevant content,  which will generate more interest in what you have to say, thereby elevating you as the expert in your niche</p>
<h2><strong>How Other Blogs Can Boost Your Income</strong></h2>
<p>Once you have started blogging it is&nbsp;recommended that you search for and read other blogs&nbsp;&nbsp; that are relevant to your niche and comment&nbsp; on them  on a regular basis&nbsp; for a number of  reasons. By doing so you will be able &nbsp; to &nbsp;include the URL/ web address&nbsp; to your&nbsp; blog in your signature line so that it helps create valuable back links to your own site, thereby helping your search engine ranking  and secondly it gives others &nbsp;the opportunity to read your blog too and begin a relationship with your business.&nbsp; You will find that it doesn't matter what business you are in, there are loads of different blogs, covering many  different subjects, all within your niche&nbsp; so you would be wise to read plenty of other blogs within your subject. &nbsp;You need to comment often, ask questions, and answer questions others have posted.&nbsp;Pretty soon , people will see you as the maven within your niche and people will want to hear what you have to say next.</p>
<p>And it doesn't matter what your industry  or the location of your business is either. take for example a small law firm&nbsp; situated in industrial minning and milling town in a small&nbsp; part of England. Based in a town with a population of 146,000. They have increased their business through blogging by getting ranked for the key words <a href="http://www.holroydsolicitors.co.uk" target="_blank">Huddersfield Solicitors </a>by placing these keywords on other blogs including commenting on the blogs of other local <a href="http://www.holroydsolicitors.co.uk" target="_blank">Solicitors in Huddersfield</a>. So whether you are a lawyer, dentist, car mechanic, plumber or in fact any business, please don't think blogging can not help you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Marketing Products Through Your Blog</h2>
<p>Of course, any business&nbsp;can market products through a blog; but it is important that you don't just do this or you will quickly lose the interest of your readers. Guerrilla Marketing is about  creating trust and people want information; they want to know how to do something faster, better, easier, or cheaper so by building a strong relationship  with your potential clients will in fact  allow&nbsp; them to see you as the business to come to, to make their life easier. You should consider adding video to your blog and it could be feasible to demonstrate your product in action .&nbsp; If this is the case , this could be a boost to your blog, the sales it obtains and its ranking in the search engines when it comes to&nbsp;helping you in your <a href="http://www.rapidprofitmarketing.com" target="_blank">internet marketing for small businesses</a>. Also look at the possibility of comparing other&nbsp;and similar products on the market, to yours&nbsp;&nbsp; Why is yours better?&nbsp; What does it do differently than similar products ?&nbsp;</p>
<p>What is it about your product that will make the lives of your customer easier? Can you demonstrate to &nbsp; them this benefit?&nbsp;&nbsp; If you are able to provide&nbsp; a solution  to a common problem, either capture that solution on video or explain in captivating detail how your product will make their already hectic life easier.</p>
<h2>Promoting Your Blog</h2>
<p>Now that you have a blog , the next step is to promote it so that it gets the kind of attention that will eventually lead to paying customers.&nbsp; Be sure to submit your blog to blog directories and promote it through your signature line in other blog posts and forum posts.&nbsp; Also, make sure you include an RSS feed (Really Simple Syndication Feed) on your blog to make it easy for others to subscribe to it.&nbsp; Be sure to include links and trackbacks for even more blog traffic.</p>
<p>Make sure your blog is search engine optimized so that it is picked up by all the major search engines.&nbsp; Remember, although keywords and Meta tags are important components of the optimization process, it's just as important to include interesting and relevant content so that your readers are getting&nbsp;their money's worth, so to speak.&nbsp; If your readers find useful information on your blog, chances are that the search engines will like it as well and your potential customers will keep coming back.</p>

It lets you check, repair, optimize, and backup your WordPress database right from the Dashboard. There is no need to login to your cpanel. This really is a great time saver.</p>
<p>I hope some of the others do as well. If so, I will be using some of them also.
