How To Make Money With Wordpress

For a while now I have been looking a different ways to make some money online. There are many ways to do it, but as I have found out, It’s not as easy as some might make you believe. I tried Adwords pay per click advertising, which did work up to a certain extent. The only problem there was, If you get that wrong… you can lose a lot of money quickly, not make it.

A few months ago. My luck changed when I discovered Wordpress and blogging. Wordpress is a very easy platform to get into and understand. With it you can create great looking sites and blogs, even if you have no experience with website design. I have none, and found things very easy to pick up.

The way to approach it and make money with Wordpress is to pick a subject you are passionate about. Have a great knowledge and love for, and base your Wordpress site on this subject. This way when you write the articles and posts that will become the content for your site. Your writing will be easy and free. It will not be a chore, it will be fun. Don’t be afraid of this part. Once you have written 4-5 articles. It will get a lot easier.

Once you have done this, you will need to monetize your site, as well as the great content you have created.

1 - You could use what is known as Adsense.

These are sponsered ads from Google that can populate certain parts of your site. When people visit your site, and click on these ads, you make money. The only problem with Adsense is you will have to put up many sites to make any real money from it.

2 – Affiliate products.

With affiliate marketing, you create a link on your site that sends people to a product on a merchant site that is relevant to the general theme of your site. If anyone buys this product, you get paid a commission. This is my personal favourite approach. If you get this right, you can make a lot of money. You just need to pick the right product

3 – Auction ads

This is another method that can prove quite profitable. You place a piece of code on your Wordpress blog from EBay or Amazon auction networks, and this will create auction listings on your site. How cool is that? Yet again, you get paid per commission.

These are just a few examples of how to make money with Wordpress. The results are better if you install Wordpress on your own hosting. This can be as cheap as $8 a month, with domains as cheap as $8-10 a year. Trust me, It’s worth it.

Another thing to remember. The search engines love wordpress. By using this platform, you will find yourself getting ranked much faster, which will lead to more traffic. More traffic means more sales.

If you want to know how to make money with Wordpress. Especially if your new to all this. I would highly recommend you take the approach in this article.

One product that I would highly recommend is Wordpress Goldmine. This guide will go far beyond the points in this article. It’s easy to follow, and most of all, it works.

Just recently I made the decision that I wanted to learn how to use Wordpress to create niche websites and blogs. I had been looking around for a good guide on this subject for a while. I found a lot of trash out there. I needed something that could talk me through the basics, such as, how to install Wordpress, all the way to, how to professionally promote my blog. A lot of guides just concentrate on making your site look good. Now thats important too. Don’t get me wrong, but there is much more to it than that. The real trick is in, how to get a decent amount of traffic to your site, when so many other people are promoting the same product or products, and getting those all important sales. Well, after quite a search. I have found a product that fits the bill. That product is called Wordpress Goldmine.

I am currently working on the Wordpress Goldmine method. Have been for a number of weeks now, and I have to say, it’s fantastic. This Guide is a 127 pages of pure gold information. Every page goes into great detail on how to approach working with Wordpress as a vehicle for creating niche sites/blogs. Not only have you got the book itself to follow, but there are over 20 video tutorials that complement the book very well, and go into great detail on various tips and tricks that cannot be missed. Trust me, I’ve viewed them several times already. Mark Thompson, the creator of Wordpress Goldmine, has just added a forum to what is already an excellent package. Mark is always there to answer any questions that you may have. He’s already answered many of mine.

The book is broken down into 5 main sections,

1. This section covers the basics. How to install Wordpress on your own web hosting account. If you’ve never done this before, it can be quite daunting. Mark explains it in an easy to understand way. It also explains working with themes.

2. A website is nothing without content. This part cover your options for content, and how to go about getting it. I found this section very useful to me.

3. You won’t make any money from a website unless you monetize it. this section tells you how to do that. Yet again priceless information here.

4. Unless you get up there in the search engine rankings, nobody will visit your site. No visitors means no money. This part covers blog promotion, and deals with this problem.

5. Ever heard of WEB 2.0?. If not your missing out on a golden opportunity to use web 2.0, as another means to get your site noticed. This section goes into great detail on many Web 2.0 strategies.

The impact that buying this guide has had on me has been unbelievable. The information is all bang up to date. No old information here. It has definitely turned things around for me. The price for all this is under $50. I think Mark is going to put the price up soon, So If you are looking for a no fluff guide that you can trust, I would very much recommend Wordpress Goldmine.
