Amazon Associates: Adding Relevant Products To Post

ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income
OK, I am doing this post specifically to show you exactly how to add relevant products to a post. Amazon carries lots of great eBooks, one of the best and cheapest ways of learning about running a business online through a blog or website or anything else you would like to learn for that matter is through eBooks. Since eBooks are so cheap. When compared to the cost of college tuition, or taking a local business course to gain a certificate. Well, you see exactly where I'm going with this. So my thing is this. If you want to better your blog, gain web traffic, or simply to master the art of networking online, eBooks are the way to go.

The other dilemma is finding great eBooks. Well that is one of the reasons that I've decided to start offering reviews of free eBooks as well as inexpensive eBooks on my site. If you can cut to the chase and not waste time paying for something that will not contain the information that you are looking for, then it's all the better for you in your blogging efforts. I can assure you that I as a blog owner do not have a minute to waste.

One of the reasons that I love Amazon is because of the reviews. I have brought many items from them. I have brought the Cooler Master for cooling my laptop. I have bought gluten free food products, regular eBooks, you name it, and I buy it from Amazon. Why? Because of the reviews. Amazon.com allows it's customers to write reviews, as well as upload video reviews. I hate to say this but I hardly ever buy anything anywhere else now. This is simply because I hate wasting money, time, and having to return products. So I simply look for 5 star products that have rave reviews. I never even consider products that have under 4 stars, and at least 30 reviews.



Again, to each his own, but I can't afford to waste a nickel. So with that said. Every product that you see listed on my site. eBooks or whatever it may be. You can rest assured that it will be a 4 to 5 star product that is on Amazon's bestsellers list. Now here is an example of how you can use the Amazon Associates program on your own blog. Since I am trying to help my readers to become better bloggers. I must choose products that are relevant to what I am sharing.

Helping Mom Bloggers To Make Money Online: Amazon Associates

One of the best ways that I've found to make money online is through Amazon Associates. Amazon Associates is an Affiliate Marketing Program. It is free to sign up, which is the best part for me, again, I love free.  I do not know exactly how many of you know about the program, but it's one that all bloggers should know about. With Amazon Associates making money online is very simple and in my opinion it isn't very invasive to readers at all. You simply write about the topics that you were going to write about in the first place. Then you place links to products through your Amazon Associates account that are relevant to what you are writing about within your post.

One strategy that works for me is to make certain that I am giving great information, and not just focusing on what I can get out of the person who is reading the post. If when we write a post, we are truly focused on giving 100% good and free info, I believe that we end up getting those purchases without even trying. For example, everyone who joins my blog knows that Wealthy WAHM is a blog site designed to make money online. That is obvious simply because of the title. Yet I've gained more followers to Wealthy WAHM than to my other two blogs without even trying.

I believe it is because I offer good quality information that helps others to monetize as well as improve web traffic and search engine optimization. And the information that I offer is free. Another tip is to see which post your readers are most interested in seeing from you. While the same readers may visit Wealthy WAHM as your site, they are more than likely visiting each site for very different reasons. Find your most popular post and write more post on similar subjects.



Increase Your Blog & Web Traffic With Stumbleupon

 Increase Your Blog Traffic With Stumbleupon

Stumbleupon is Awesome! It is one of the best ways that I've found thus far to gain extra web traffic. It is free and easy to use StumbleUpon. Just as you would do with Twitter or Digg. After signing up you would find people to follow. Every-time you Stumble something your followers will have the opportunity to view it. In my experience my followers always want to check out what others are Stumbling because StumbleUpon is so chock full of new and fresh information, that if you relied only on your own stumbles you'd definitely miss something.


The other way that you gain traffic is to make certain that you stumble your own blog post, each time you write a new one, you should stumble it immediately. Over time people will begin to view your stumbles, and then your traffic will grow and grow without very much effort from you at all. Then there's the multiplication factor. Your viewers aren't actually equal to your followers. Your viewers are actually equal to your followers times each of their followers who your stumbles were shared with. Hopefully that wasn't too complicated. I hope I used the easiest explanation.

Stumbleupon is basically it's word of mouth gone wild. :) Stumbleupon has hit more than 800 million stumbles, to read more about it, be sure to check out the related article below the video in this post.


The Zen of Blogging: Free eBook Review

A Picture of a eBookImage via WikipediaThe Zen of Blogging is an excellent book. I love the way the writer has decided to share this information. He uses a Zen Teacher to explain all the important aspects of blogging to a student who desires to know what it will take in order for him to design and continue to run a good blog. The person who put together this eBook did an excellent job by using a wonderful form of storytelling to explain something which seemed to me to be so technical. It truly stirred my creativity.

You will definitely learn something very new and very valuable, if you would like to be a better blogger, please get this free eBook. As you know I am always trying to find free tools for my readers that will enable them to better their blogging or website development efforts without breaking the bank. I love free stuff myself, so stay tuned. This one is absolutely free, and I just can't say enough about the lessons learned from this eBook

I know that we are all busy, and at times it gets hard to find a spare moment for reading. Yet reading is essential if we want to improve in every aspect of our lives. The other good thing about This eBook is that it is only 23 pages long, so it's a quick read, you can finish it while enjoying your morning tea, or while you eat your lunch. It's also in PDF format so you can enjoy it right from your browser, or just save it to your computer if you wish.

Seriously guys, this is another great and free eBook for bloggers and webmasters who wish to improve their efforts to make money online. You will increase your web traffic, as well as learn at least ten new ideas to improve your blogging that can all be implemented within 1 weeks time. Follow this link to The Zen Of Blogging and enjoy your free copy. No email or sign up of any kind is required.

New Google Chrome Book

Have you seen the new Google Chrome book? Everyone is talking about it.

It features something called Instant web access, boots in only 8 secs, and resumes instantly. The new Chrome Book was also designed with Adobe Flash in mind, that's right no more lag when you are trying to watch your videos online. And google claims that as time goes on your system should get faster and faster with upgrades. Wow, how awesome is that?!

No matter where you are you will be able to get connect with through Chromebooks built in 3G Wifi. As soon as it boots up you are connected to your local network. You get 100 MB of mobile data free every month. Chromebook also has an application that saves your data so that even if you can't log into you own Chromebook, all of your work is saved in an app called the cloud. You can just hop onto the nearest available Chromebook to pick up where you left off.

Chromebooks also include options to share with family and friends either through their own personal settings or through guest mode. This feature enables the owner to keep their own files private. Your Chromebook is designed to update itself the moment you boot up, and your operating system only gets better with time. And all of this without any update prompts at all. Wow! Sounds like this might be useful to some Wealthy WAHMS out there. To find out more about the Chromebook visit Google Chromebook
