Following on from the last post Building Blogs to Make Money, where I looked at building blogs to make money, here I’ll take a look at another side of the business coin by taking up the idea of getting into a franchise as a viable way to make money.

It doesn’t really matter what type of business you enter into, there are many aspects of it that will create a lot of time consuming work for you as well as cause you a lot of stress if you don’t think things through in the early stages. Its that planning stage of any business that will determine whether it will be a success or not, because it is during your initial planning phase that you’ll do the necessary research to find the right products or services to deal in that you can make a profit on.

While most self-made businesses are an uphill struggle in their initial stages, there is one business model that can smooth over many of the headaches and stresses that are associated with many businesses, and that’s the Franchise. A franchise can come in many forms but its basic model is a ready made, good to go business that has most of the initial set up worries taken care of.

You may be wondering at this stage where you’d find a good Franchise Opportunity online, but it may come as a pleasant surprise that there is a well established and highly professional provider of many types of business franchise right here online. They’re called americasbestfranchises.com and they can be found by following one of the franchise links here. By having online access to your own franchise provider may just be the nudge you need to look further into the possibilities of taking a franchise business, because by sourcing the right one for you online, many other hassles of taking on a franchise will have been overcome. The best part is that you do not even need to leave the comfort of your home office to find a truly well matched Franchise Opportunity waiting for you.

Another worry many people have about taking on a franchise is the often prohibitive start up cost involved. Well, that is also taken care of at americasbestfranchises.com because they have an array of differently priced franchises that start from below $10,000. So when it comes to how to make money online, you now have further options than you may have previously believed were beyond your grasp.

Following on from the last post Make Money Community, where I looked at the community aspect of blogging, here I’ll take a slight change in tack and work on building blogs to make money.

This will be a fairly short post by comparison with my previous efforts as I really want to just get the point across and leave the blood and guts of it to a future post.

The point is that by making yourself busy and building a good array of blogs and working them into positions of authority, they will, in the future be important resources for further boosting the authority of websites that you use to make money by providing important keyword anchored links as well as some traffic if they have matured sufficiently to be attracting some of their own.

These blogs can be created free using one of the free blogging platforms like Blogger or Wordpress and their value to you will not be in the money they can make, because that will not be their main job, but the link authority they will provide your money sites. Many people turn their noses up at free blogs, simply because they are free, but that is their ultimate strength.

Following straight on from the last post Hacked Again, which looked at the problems faced by bloggers who are the victims of hackers, here I want to take another look at the whole idea of community spirit and how it can only be beneficial to what wedo online in order to make money to fund our pleasurable pastime of writing in our blogs.

Well there are plenty of social sites out there for bloggers to get together and share their stuff and I’m quite sure that most bloggers who have an inkling of what they do and why they do it know all the major social community sites that are available to make the best use of.

So what do these social sites actually give bloggers? Especially those that for one reason or another are trying to make money from their pastime. Well, the answer to that is two-fold.

Firstly, most bloggers don’t make any money blogging. They might want to, they might even need to but as long as they keep believing what they’re told by certain A-list bloggers they will remain in cyber-poverty probably until they give up in disgust. That would be after they had probably spent a small fortune buying every eBook and bought into multi-level marketing scam there is and are probably worse than broke. Their credit cards have probably taken a hammering too, so now they’re in debt.

Secondly, the rest of the bloggers who are not doing it for money are the ones that have got the right idea. They blog because they simply enjoy writing for the people that come to their blogs and read what they’ve written. For them, the social blogging sites are perfect to meet new friends, swap ideas, photos and music and generally enjot the great online social system that blogging has brought about.

So as for the larger and better known social sites that we all know and love, there need be no introduction here. However, there are plenty of newer, not so well known social sites that are cropping up that all offer many benefits to bloggers who are keen to take full advantage of the social reach and facilities that are available. One such social site, 3gb.biz is well worth having a look at if you are in the market and want to join 3gb community 3gb.biz, is perfect for joining groups, swapping information and photos as well as getting to know a lot more people online.

So where does that leave the bloggers who are struggling to make a few dollars here and there from their adsense ads that no one seems to want to click? Or all those flashy banners littering their sidebars or footers? Why aren’t all these visitors that they’re attracting from stumble or digg clicking their ads and making them a fortune just like all those nice, friendly, well written, honest, benevolent A-listers want them to believe?

Well, if you are one of those A-listers, then you are probably sitting pretty with a nice income from selling affiliate eBooks and services to all your readers, so where’s the problem? Its a numbers game after all, so if your getting a thousand noobs show up on your blogs every day, then it stands to reason that if you slingenough mud, some of it will stick.

If, however, you are not one of the chosen few, then you’re not getting anything like that amount of convertable visitors to your blog. You might be getting a few hundred visits a day, but those visitors will have already spent their money on the A-lister’s sites and will not be interested in pruchasing an eBook from your sidebar - they probably already have it and realized it was another worthless piece of junk. Just like all the rehashed regurgitated garbage that teh A-listers sell, that hundreds of their blind followers also try to sell in the mistaken belief that they’ll make a fortune just like their heroes do.

Its sad really, when you think about it. People are so easily taken in.

They want to believe that there is a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow and no matter how many rainbows they follow that end up with nothing but a rock or a clump of trees, they still keep right on chasing more rainbows.

Why?

Because they see one person who writes a blog make a lot of money from it and they think they can too. No matter how many visitors they get to their blogs that don’t buy anything, they still sit there waiting for those sales to come flooding in. Because if Mr Chow, or any of his contemporaries says there’s money to be made from promoting this or that, then it must be true. After all, they’re doing it, aren’t they?

Well, aren’t they?
