How to blog
NB: Question about blog commenting below!
I have been home since last Thursday. It’s about 400 km away from Douala where I blog. It was an interesting journey driving along with my family. I love driving a lot so the journey was actually a huge dose of awesomeness.
We left Douala quite early at about 5:30am (CAT) and arrived home before sun set. We had a lot of stops on the way. I had my wife, and 2 children (5 and 1 yr old) so we had multiple stop points for the kids to relax.
One of the things I have learned as a serial entrepreneur is the fact that success online largely relies in understanding your visitors. From my test and figures, the best way to get to knowing exactly what’s the need of your readers (without having to ask them to fill forms) is using a heat map tool.
I have tested many of these tools on this blog but Lucky Orange stands out from every view point. It’s not just a heat map tool but a complete suite of tools for total website optimization and usability analysis.
Thursday is my most exciting day of the week as a blogger. The simple reason is that I get to write and publish about somebody. For the most part, these are bloggers whose works speak for themselves.
I have published over 20 of exceptional bloggers and Internet Marketers in this series so I encourage you check out the list here and be sure to connect with them.
I have a list of wonderful bloggers who mainly are my readers. I’ll feature them here completely free. However, if you want to be featured without having to wait for your free turn, shoot me a mail
March 2015 was an exciting month. While I kept being so busy with offline stuffs, I managed to post 22 articles on this blog.
I submitted one guest post on Adrienne’s blog where I discussed about knowing your readers and getting your business improved. You can check out the post here and please interact.
As usual, in this report post, I’ll be giving you income and engagement details. The 2 main ways I have made money with this blog this month are Paid Reviews and Affiliate Marketing. Details are below.
I got a question from one of my readers a few days ago on how to start a successful blog. It instantly dawned on me that many more readers may be clicking around with the same question on their minds.
Truth is, a lot of people who stop blogging along the line failed before even getting into the activity. Common sense teaches us that the way you start a race can determine how you end it.
For the most part, beginners come in with a lot of excitement, motivated by some misunderstood factors. Before they know it, they are hitting their heads on the wall.
Most of the bloggers or website owners who want to monetize their blogs often get broken and discouraged once their Adsense account gets banned. We know it has even become more difficult to get approved on Adsense these days. This has made the dream of many to make money with their site a shadow.
There are many Adsense alternatives out there but I must also point out here that most of these alternatives won’t measure up to half of Google’s platform. Don’t just signup to any platform because it claims to be an advertising platform that can allow you generate income from your site.
The fact that your Adsense Account was banned or Google rejected your application for a brand new account does not mean the end of the journey. You can still make money with your blog.
