Monetizing Blog, Do You Really Want It..? (part - 2)

Monetize blog, there are many ways to make your blog become monetize blog, in part - 1 that had told by steve pavlina, how and what is monetize blog, in this part, we discuss step by step how to make this happen, steve pavlina give a point to you, he start to make you thinking, then he explain how to make it happen.

Can you make a decent income online? steve pavlina said " yes, absolutely. I'm making a healthy income from StevePavlina.com, and the site is only 19 month old, but if you have a day job, it will take longer to generate a livable income, cause I've always done it full time.

Can most people do it ? steve pavlina said "No, they can't", what it's mean, why they can't. "99% of people who try to generate serious income from their blog will fail and the tag line for this site is Personal Development for Smart People." How do you know whether or not you qualify as smart? Here's a good rule of thumb: If you have to as the question, you aren't.

Steve pavline said "that if you can learn to become web savvy, you have an excellent shot of making enough money from your blog to cover all your living expenses..", what web savvy really is? specifically apply intelligence to one particular talent and the best words can describe that particular talent are : web savvy. What do I mean by web savvy? You don’t need to be a programmer, but you need a decent functional understanding of a variety of web technologies. What technologies are “key” will depend on the nature of your blog and your means of monetization. But generally speaking I’d list these elements as significant:

* blog publishing software
* HTML/CSS
* blog comments (and comment spam)
* RSS/syndication
* feed aggregators
* pings
* trackbacks
* full vs. partial feeds
* blog carnivals (for kick-starting your blog’s traffic)
* search engines
* search engine optimization (SEO)
* page rank
* social bookmarking
* tagging
* contextual advertising
* affiliate programs
* traffic statistics
* email

Optional: podcasting, instant messaging, PHP or other web scripting languages.

This sort of knowledge is what separates the 1% from the 99%. Both groups may work just as hard, but the 1% is getting much better results for their efforts. It normally doesn’t take me more than 60 seconds to title an article, but a lot of experience goes into those 60 seconds. You really just have to learn these ideas once; after that you can apply them routinely.

Steve pavlina said "that Your greatest risk isn’t that you’ll make mistakes that will cost you. Your greatest risk is that you’ll miss opportunities. You need an entrepreneurial mindset, not an employee mindset. Don’t be too concerned with the risk of loss - be more concerned with the risk of missed gains. It’s what you don’t know and what you don’t do that will hurt you the worst. Blogging is cheap. Your expenses and financial risk should be minimal. Your real concern should be missing opportunities that would have made you money very easily. You need to develop antennae that can listen out for new opportunities. I highly recommend subscribing to Darren Rowse’s Problogger blog - Darren is great at uncovering new income-generating opportunities for bloggers."

What’s your overall income-generation strategy? why steve pavlina asking it, This right point to start, how we do if we don't know how is it work, stave pavlina said that Take a moment to articulate a basic income-generating strategy for your site. If you aren’t good at strategy, then just come up with a general philosophy for how you’re going to generate income. You don’t need a full business plan, just a description of how you plan to get from $0 per month to whatever your income goal is. I reached that level 15 months after launching the site (in December 2005). And since then it’s continued to increase nicely. Blogging income is actually quite easy to maintain. It’s a lot more secure than a regular job. No one can fire me, and if one source of income dries up, I can always add new ones. We’ll address multiple streams of income soon…

Are you still actually want to make income for your blog, then try steve pavlina told to you, and make you focus only to keep moving on track.
