Hey guys, just in case you are thinking I am writing out of topic, well just recently for the past 2 months I have been busy creating a new blog portal for my wife’s handmade accessories blog called “Crystal Dollies“. Here’s a screen shot of the blog below:

I had always to try selling real physical products items on my blog, and my wife has been selling handmade accessories for more then 10 years and I thought it is time for a big change for her business.

Here’s What I Have Done On Her Blog

1. Create a new graphical banner layout for brand
2. Added in a Wordpress shopping cart that accepts online payment
3. Added a auto responder to her blog to collect customer details
4. Added about 42 products to her blog and lots more to add
5. Added a gallery to her blog
6. SEO ready her title tags and meta tags
7. and much more

My wife (Kelly) is currently is still working for someone, but I do hope to have plans to quit her job and run an online business full time just like her husband..

These Are The Things She Handmades & Sells

• Ear Rings
• Necklaces
• Bracelets
• Anklets
• Crystal Pendants
• Handphone & Car Charms
• Clothes
• and much more

Because it’s a new site I had discuss with my wife and we decided to give a 10% discount on all items when you purchase online. Just input this special coupon code “crystaljan” when you make your purchase at the blog.

As the job market shrinks more and more, people are looking for different ways to generate income.  As blogs have become more and more popular, private blog advertising has become a legitimate source of income.  We are not just talking about a few bucks here, people have replaced their full time jobs by blogging for a living.

Selling advertising on your blog can create a rather large income.  Basically, what you are doing is selling links to various sites and businesses who are trying to improve their overall ranking on the search engines.  To do this, your page will have to be highly ranked in the search engines as well.  This can be achieved by either converting a domain to a selling blog or your can buy a domain with an existing page rank and sell links on your domain.  This is a key step in private blog advertising.

Getting started is fairly easy, but the important this is that you have to think and act like an advertiser.  After all, that is exactly what you are trying to accomplish with your blog.  If you are selling space, you have to have the proper niche, high page rank, subscribers, frequent posting, an impressive amount of daily visitors and you will obviously want a blog that has a community that is leaving feedback.  This is proof that people are interested in its content.

Once you have established these, it is time to seek out advertisers to start paying you for space.  The most obvious is to post the area’s on your blog that you dedicated to advertising.  Simply putting a banner up that says “advertise here” will let viewers know that you have space for sale.

You will also want to create a page link that will give all the details of how you are advertising, what you are advertising, etc…  Give as much information as you can on your site about what you are going to do.  A great example of this is located at http://www.gathersuccess.com/advertise.  This is a blog that generates 5 digit figures each and every month by simply making use of private blog advertising techniques & affiliate programs.

While the main purpose of your blog is to show the power of private blog advertising, your readers cannot know this.  You are going to have to have legitimate content that is being updated on a daily basis and you cannot have advertisements that are completely overwhelming.

The last thing you want is for your site to look like Las Vegas at night.  Keep the links to the sides of the page and have one or two main banners going across the top.  The bottom of your page is also a great place to have smaller banners and links.  Do it tastefully as you want to make sure that they keep coming back.

Finally, you are going to have to set up pricing for your blog.  This is the most critical step of private blog advertising.  If you are pricing too cheap, you are not getting enough for your money and if you are charging too much, you will not get anyone to work with you.

Your pricing will gradually be able to increase as your hits go up each month, but when you are first starting out, you will want to chick out link sales sections of forums dedicated to exactly this.  To give you an idea, about $10 a month is a good starting point for a link on a new site.  Now you are ready to go and experience the power of private blog advertising!

2009 just started and I thought it would be a good idea to remind you guys what you must do during the new year. Here’s what everyone must do doing the new year.

1. Change all your copyright statements to 2009

If you done this, it time for you to sit down and take sometime to find out what are the websites you have created and change your copyright statement to 2009 instead of 2008.

The reason why you must do this is because, your customers will think that it’s an outdated website and you do not want them to think that way

2. Start Taking Massive Action In 2009

If you have been reading lots of books lately or buying lots of Internet Marketing products last year, this year it’s time to make a change and it’s time for you to take action my friend. Just remember this, you will not make a single cent if you do not take action

3. Set Some Goals For Yourself

I am a strong believer in setting goals so that is why I like to encourage everyone to set a goal for yourself for the new year 2009. Regardless it works or it doesn’t it is always good to set your goals so that you have something to work on towards the whole year.

4. Get More Proactive On Your Blog

If you have not been updating your blog lately, today is the great time for you to start posting content on your blog
