Pro Blog it | ProBlogging Venture Tips and Ideas, Reviews and Opinions

Registering a domain name is very simple but I still wrote about it in case someone would like to know how to do it. This is let you know what to expect if you decide to register a domain name. This topic is related to problogging summary guide to starting and implementing a blog and how to start a website.

But I wrote how to register a domain name at Sehdi.com, not on this blog. I especially used GoDaddy as the sample domain registrar because I like the features of GoDaddy.

I recently wrote a blog entry at Sehdi.com on how to start a Website which is related to problogging summary guide to starting and implementing a blog. This time though I used the word Website instead of blog. I simplified it a little bit but made a lot of referencing to the articles I wrote on this blog.

If you are planning to start a Website and not a blog, this might help you. I especially added two (2) very important points when starting a Website, adding the domain name and setting the nameservers, which I failed to mention on this blog when I wrote the topic on how to set up a blog.

So, if you are neither into blogging nor problogging but you would like to have a Website, read the article, How to Start a Website, at Sehdi.com.

This blog and my other blogs which were not updated for the past few months have not been neglected. I am just into simply blogging right now, not really into problogging. I have not been exploring the problogging business that much so I really have nothing to tell you. But I have been updating my other sites, where I earn a little bit, at least once and sometimes twice a week except if I am on vacation.

So far, updating the sites once or twice a week is paying off. So, I am paying more attention to those sites than this blog. As I have written before, you have got to know your goals and priorities. If you need to make some changes and change your focus, just do it. As for myself, I know which sites to prioritize because more people are visiting those sites than this blog and my other blogs. Only that, I was not able to update this blog at least twice a week.

But I will try to find other topics to discuss in this blog, not only about opportunities. I already started writing about the search engines. I might also discuss about social media and other topics in the near future. So, stay tuned!

Making money online with advertising and affiliate programs is not at all simple. It is just not easy making money online no matter what other people say on their blogs. I joined several advertising and affiliate programs for the past few years and for the past few months but I still have to see if I can really make money from them.

Making money online needs a lot of effort, discipline, patience and perseverance. It needs good planning and goal setting. It is not just enough to sit in front of your computer and write content for your blog. Content is king but no matter how many articles you have written, you will not get a lot of traffic if you are not promoting your blogs.

Even if you get a lot of traffic but if your visitors do not click on the ads, links or banners, then you will definitely not earn. But even if I have not earn from some of those advertising and affiliate programs, I did not regret joining them. I will give it a few more months and see if I have to continue having those ads, links, and banners on my blogs.

What are the Advertising and Affiliate Programs that I have joined so far?

Google AdSense

Make Money Online with Google Adsense. Google AdSense is a free advertising program that allows web publishers like bloggers and probloggers to display ads on their blogs and then earn from valid clicks and impressions on those ads.

Text Link Ads

Make Money Online with Text Link Ads. Text Link Ads is a kind of text based ads widely known as Site-wide Ads or Site-wide Links. It is not a pay per click advertising program so if you join this advertising program, you will earn immediately the moment an advertiser purchases a link from your site.

It has been several months since I signed up with Amazon Associates affiliate program in order to make money online advertising Amazon products. You can earn up to 15 percent in referrals by advertising Amazon products.

What is the Amazon Associates program?

Let me quote Amazon: “Amazon Associates is one of the first online affiliate marketing programs and was launched in 1996. The Amazon Associates program has a more than 12 year track record of developing solutions to help website owners, Web developers, and Amazon sellers make money by advertising millions of new and used products from Amazon.com and Endless.com. When website owners and bloggers who are Associates create links and customers click through those links and buy products from Amazon.com or Endless.com, they earn referral fees.”
