			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I’ve been blogging and earning money online for close to 4 years now. Quite simply, I make blogs. Sometimes it’s easy to think that everybody knows the same things that you do, and that you may not have anything new to offer others. I often just assume that everyone knows how to make a blog, or that they’ll &#8220;be able to just figure it out&#8221;, but then I was among a community of newer blogs, and I realized I had a lot of valuable information to share.</p>
<p>You see, I’ve been there and done that. I made mistakes early on, and I can help you with your learning curve. I’ve tested different ways of doing things, and found what works best for me. If I was starting over and knew what I know now, I’d have saved a heck of a lot of time!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m hoping to offer you with both <strong>Blogging Tips</strong> and my <strong>How to Make a Blog</strong> sections of this site:</p>
<p>- break down of blogging and internet marketing jargon</p>
<p>- shorten your learning curve</p>
<p>- help you focus on ways to make money</p>
<p>- help you understand what your readers are looking for</p>
<p>- show you how to offer value and build relationships</p>
<p>- teach you about branding…you or your blog?</p>
<p>- help show you how to stand apart from the pack</p>
<p>- show you how to take your blog to the next level</p>
<p>- how to grab attention from the get-go</p>
<p>- show you how to become the solution to your reader’s problem</p>
<p>- build your confidence as a blogger</p>
<p>That’s a tall order, eh? It’s not going to all happen overnight, but step-by-step, piece-by-piece we’ll get there. Join along or just bookmark me and pop in time to time to catch up. The great thing about blogging, is it works at your pace. There’s no race, so absorb and learn as you go…you’ll pick it up! You can do this!</p>
<p>If I can do this, you can too…I’m just a girl in my living room sitting behind my computer typing on my keyboard….just like you. The only difference is I’ve had more time to learn from my mistakes- so I’m here to show you what worked, and what didn’t.</p>
<p>I can’t promise that every single person who reads my site will go on to huge success, but I can say that I’ll offer you solid information that may help take your blog to the next level. My goal is to reach out to new bloggers, or intermediate bloggers who are ready to figure out where to go from here…are you ready?</p>

<p><strong>Let’s look at how to write reviews that convert into sales.</strong>  While anybody can write a review, basically stating what they like or don’t like about a product or service, many people are lost on how to write a review that translates into sales. When you’re making blogs to make money, it’s important that the reviews that you write not only presell a product in a persuasive way, but get people in a buying state of mind. You can do this in different ways.</p>
<p><strong>We’re going to look at a couple of things you’ll want to include in your reviews:</strong></p>
<p>- solid feedback of both pros and cons of the product or service</p>
<p>- getting your potential buyer into a “yes” state of mind</p>
<p>- your own experience with the product or service</p>
<p>- why this product or service is the best choice over others similar to it</p>
<p>First off, remember that the person reading the review is all ready partially interested, because they’ve searched for reviews on the topic you’re covering…so the question becomes, how can you help them make a decision?</p>
<p>When you learn how to write reviews, you know the obvious things about the product need to be mentioned like the name and use of the product, but often times people also want to know about the pricing, and if you felt it offered enough value for the price you paid.</p>
<p>How did you end up using the product, and is it something that you find you really aren’t using that often, or something you’re coming to rely on quite often? What results are you getting from the product? These are all things that your potential buyer is interested in knowing.</p>
<p><strong>Let’s look at the difference between these two sentences:</strong></p>
<p>I bought XYZ and I like it a lot. You should get it too, because I think you’ll like it as much as I do.</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re not going to be selling anything with a sentence like that…</p>
<p><strong>Now let’s look at how you can change that sentence:</strong></p>
<p>I bought XYZ for the affordable price of XX, and I’ve got to say, for as much as I use the product, it really seems like I got a great value! I’m thrilled that it allows me to do XXX in half the amount of time it used to.</p>
<p>Do you see that by being specific by showing you feel that you got a good value, it’s saving you time, and you’re happy with the results, you’ve conveyed so much more than in that first sentence we used for an example?</p>
<p><strong>What else do you want to include in your product review?</strong></p>
<p>When you’re learning how to write reviews, you want to put people in a “YES” state of mind…you do that by asking questions that the reader will respond “YES” to in their mind.</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<p>Do you want to do the job in half the amount of time? YES! <&#8211; they&#8217;re thinking in their mind</p>
<p>Are you tired of being overcharged for programs that don&#8217;t work? YES <&#8212;- see the pattern here?</p>
<p>Do you want one simple program that can make the job easier? YES <&#8212; here&#8217;s that &#8220;Yes&#8221; state of mind we spoke of</p>
<p>A few more things you&#8217;ll want to include in your review is a list of the pros and cons, basically what you liked about it, and what you didn&#8217;t like so much. When you give a balance, your review is more trustworthy. Now, you don&#8217;t have to list a bunch of negatives, but sometimes you can turn a negative into a positive&#8230;.</p>
<p>Example:<br />
While this product does what it says, it does take awhile to finish the process. I thought it might be faster (Now…watch how we turn this negative into not that big of a deal)…but, I guess since it runs in the background, I don’t really have to think about it, since it’s fully automated, so I can be working on something else completely while it’s working. I guess it’s not that much of an inconvenience, I just thought it would have been a little faster &#8211; but for all the work it does, I’m thrilled it’s automated which really frees me up to do other tasks!</p>
<p>Let your blog readership understand what you think the value and easy of use is, along with how you use it, good and bad points, and you’re well on your way to a winning review that will bring along good conversion rates with it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>When you’re making blogs, you have the opportunity to offer a unique perspective. Your voice is your own, but how you speak with other people can really make a difference in how they perceive you. Here’s a simple question….do you think you’re likable, or do you think you’re a pompous ass? Oooh…not quite the question you expected, eh?</p>
<p>Let’s look at your voice, and how it can set you apart.</p>
<p>1. Be genuine…people can see through the bullshit. It’s true- you may think you’re the queen of it all, or can talk about anything like it’s nobody’s business. Maybe you even pride yourself on being able to sling it like a used car salesman. Let me clue you in…it’s much more transparent than you realize.</p>
<p>2. Be kind…people appreciate when you speak to them in a manner that shows respect. Don’t be arrogant, don’t be pushy, and be willing to give a little bit of yourself. In return, you’ll find great rewards.</p>
<p>3. Be unique…copycat bloggers are looking to have a blog like a blog THEY like. Here’s where the problem comes in- if you’re busy trying to copy everything your favorite blogger is doing, you’re not coming off as yourself, and after awhile, you’ll lose your voice.</p>
<p>4. Be likable…don’t be afraid to have a little fun. It’s a good thing to have personality in your writing. Seriously, doesn’t it make a better read? Think about reading a textbook versus reading that juicy novel you just read this weekend…textbook reading is fine and dandy, and gets the facts across, but a great post with personality allows you to reach out to your readers, and shows you’re just like them…a blogger, a person sharing information…and that means they’ll relate, which is something you want.</p>
<p>5. Always offer more…if you’ve got 12 incredible things you do every time you start a new website, by holding back and offering 3 tips– well, it’s sort of lacking. Seriously, help people out, the good karma that comes back is awesome. If you’ve got 12 great tips, then share 12 great tips. Don’t be afraid your “secret” will get out. Trust me, it’s all ready out there, and what you think your guarding, “your gold”, someone else will share it, and then your readers will be like, why wouldn’t this blog have told me about that? Did they know? Why weren’t they sharing it…put it out there…be the best source of information on a topic, and blog readers will come back, because they know you’re offering good quality info, and that’s golden in itself.</p>
<p>Make blogs, make money…just don’t be an ass in the process. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If you’re going to take the time to make blogs — then make blogs with value.</p>
<p>What is true value? You’ve decided to start a blog, but you aren’t sure what you want to blog about. Maybe you’ve been keeping a personal blog, and while it’s rewarding, you’d like to try to earn a little money from the time you put in blogging. One of the first things you need to consider is what type of blogging you’d like to do.</p>
<p>When it comes to a blog that earns, one of the best ways to get there is by offering people (your readers) something of value. Is there a topic that interests you? Maybe you’ve been involved in a hobby or lifestyle for awhile and think you have tips or valuable information to share. Here are examples of hobbies you can blog about: quilting, hunting, scrapbooking, camping, surfing, jewelry making, freelance writing, and honestly…this is only an itty-bitty look into things you can blog about.</p>
<p>You can blog about topics you’re passionate about: ending world hunger, the green movement, helping breast cancer survivors, trading stocks, wine making, bird watching, and the list goes on.</p>
<p>While you can blog about topics that you aren’t currently involved in, it takes more time and effort to do the research involved. Maybe you’ve always wanted to travel Europe via backpack. Your time and energy you’ve put into researching in the past, as well as the new things you find can make great material for a blog. You’re upcoming trip to Australia can turn into a writing journey- maybe you’ve wanted to scale Everest, and need to research training information. What you learn, you can share on a blog.</p>
<p>Heck, it doesn’t even matter if your hobby is building chicken coops. When it comes down to it most topics are something you can write about…the question becomes can you bring a fresh voice, a unique angle, or will you be able to monetize it?</p>
<p>When you monetize a website or blog, you add ways that your site can make you money, and it then becomes an earning machine for you, creating passive income.</p>
<p>If you’re going to take the time to create something special, quality content, combined with your own unique voice equals fresh content which both people and search engines love. What value can you offer your readers?</p>
<p>One of the things that I hope to do with this blog is to show you not only how to make a blog, or make blogs if you’re interested in creating more than one, but also how to create something of value that will bring people back, help build trust and relationships with your readers, along with offering a fresh voice. Be authentic, offer value, and know your audience. We’ll touch on each of these topics in more depth as we move forward together.</p>
<p>What is true value, and what will you offer your readers? If there are all ready tons of sites similar to yours, how will you make yours stand apart? One of the things I’d like to offer you is that I’ll use language that’s easy to follow along, makes sense, and helps you work towards your blogging goals. I like to take the technical out of things and break them down so that even a child can understand. I don’t know about you, but I like to understand what I read…so that’s what I’m hoping to bring along for the ride.</p>
<p>What kind of value are you going to bring to your blog? What are some ways that you can stand apart? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Let&#8217;s look at the importance of consistent blogging&#8230;The goal of most blogs is to increase their readership, whether first-time readers or those returning to the blog after having read something that they liked.  There are many things that a blogger can do that encourages both initial traffic and return readership.  Most of the battle though consists of providing quality content on a consistent basis.  </p>
<p><strong>Quality content is by far the most important thing that your blog should have going for it. </strong> Without it, there is no reason to read what you write and without readers you will never be able to accomplish the goals that you have for your blog.  The next most important thing though, and something that many bloggers fail to do, is posting to your blog on a consistent basis.</p>
<p>When a reader comes across a blog that they like the content of, they often either try and remember the name of it or bookmark it to their favorites so they can return and read more.  If they were to return in a few days and nothing new was posted, they might try again the next day eventually they would give up and think to themselves that this blog is rarely updated.  Conversely, when a blog reader finds your blog and likes what they see, if you post regularly and consistently, there will be something new for them to read the next time they visit.  After doing this just a few times, suddenly you are part of this blog reader&#8217;s daily habit.  This means that you have won over a new reader based solely on the fact that you are consistently updating the content of your blog.</p>
<p>Consistently blogging can mean something else too.  There are bloggers who like to post to their blog on a daily basis.  Their readers get used to checking in every day and seeing what new tidbits or words of wisdom they can find out.  If you blog on a daily basis, you should really consider posting to your blog at roughly the same time every day.  You could have readers that check your blog as part of their daily schedule.  If they know to expect new information from you with a morning or an evening post every day, they can more easily get in the habit of going to your site.</p>
<p>The other thing that consistently posting to your blog does is create a wealth of content for your site.  This content gets indexed by search engines and then garners even more traffic and potential readers for your blog.</p>
<p>Posting consistently to your blog is one of the best ways to inform your readers that you care not only about the subject you are posting about, but their experience while on your blog as well.  It shows that you are taking into account their valuable time and their need for the information you are providing.  Posting consistently is the best way to tell your readers that your blog is a place they can go for reliable information that is both constant and current.  It really helps establish both you and your blog&#8217;s credibility.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Are you asking yourself &#8220;how can I make money blogging?&#8221;  I know, you keep hearing about other people doing it, and you&#8217;re wondering if it&#8217;s real. Yes, it&#8217;s real. I make money blogging. No, seriously&#8212; I&#8217;ve been making money from my blogs for 4 years now. I never dreamed it could be possible, but when I made my first bits of money in the beginning, I knew I&#8217;d hit on something.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve worked at home for more than 4 solid years now! I&#8217;m in my pajamas right now&#8211; typing this out. Seriously, can you believe it? YES! My three dogs (yes three!!!!) are all curled up nearby, and I didn&#8217;t have to wake up to an alarm clock. In fact, I haven&#8217;t set my alarm in years. Okay, there was that one day I had to be to the airport early, since I was flying to Orlando, Florida&#8230;but it was so worth it!!!</p>
<p>Anyway, here I am&#8230;.making money with blogs, and I&#8217;m about to tell you something really cool. Even though I&#8217;ve been doing this for a few years, last fall- I found a program that increased my income even more. I&#8217;m a true believer in research and wanting to know what else is out there. I found a program that I just adore!!!</p>
<p>I stumbled on it while reading a popular forum that I go to, and the reviews were great. People were raving about it, so I decided to check it out for myself. While you&#8217;re asking <strong>&#8220;How Can I Make Money Blogging?&#8221;</strong>, I was asking myself&#8211; &#8220;How can I make MORE money blogging? </p>
<p>That&#8217;s where Amy Bass and <a href="http://www.thenicheblogger.com/amember/go.php?r=359&#038;i=l0">The Niche Blogger</a> comes in&#8230;</p>
<p>I needed to focus and have a more specific goal. I also needed a few pointers so that I could refine what I was all ready doing&#8230;All you need is to be pointed to the right path and you&#8217;ll be well on your way to making the kind of money you need to make. There are many different opportunities, both online and off. However, the best method of making money that is suited to the most people is blogging- and it&#8217;s what I know best.</p>
<p>If you have a good blog up and running with quality content, you can place advertisements on your blog so you can earn money from your readers. Not only that, just last week I got a check in the mail for hundreds of dollars from a direct advertiser who wanted to put their links on my blogs and websites. </p>
<p>Of course, the most money comes to those bloggers who get good traffic and a consistent readership. You might feel like turning away from this opportunity if you&#8217;ve never considered blogging before, or aren&#8217;t sure how to get started.</p>
<p>The important thing to realize is that everyone was a beginning blogger at first&#8211; even me! My husband wasn&#8217;t sure what to think when I told him what I wanted to do&#8230;now he smiles, because I&#8217;ve been doing it for 4 years, and he understands what passive income is all about! He loves that I blog, and can stay home. Since you&#8217;re asking &#8220;how can I make money?,&#8221; <em>now is the time where learning to blog it is important for you</em>.</p>
<p>I highly recommend joining The Niche Blogger in order to get started with your blogging journey. There is no better tutorial site out there and you will get a step-by-step education on blogging from start to finish.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thenicheblogger.com/amember/go.php?r=359&#038;i=l0">The Niche Blogger &#8211; Make Money Blogging</a></p>
<p>What&#8217;s really neat is the sense of community, and the fact that everyone tries to help one another succeed with their blogs. If you get stuck at all, just send me a message on the forum board, and I&#8217;ll help you out however I&#8217;m able to. (look for Deb on the board) </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re concerned that you&#8217;re not a good writer, there are many tips and techniques you can use to create blog posts nonetheless. If you are able to send an e-mail and do simple web tasks, you have  what it takes to run a blog!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t turn away from this opportunity, and take the time to learn how to become a blogger today. You&#8217;ll never need to ask yourself, &#8220;how can I make money?,&#8221; again! Instead, you&#8217;ll be saying&#8211; &#8220;I make money blogging!&#8221;&#8230;.that&#8217;s what I say!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I love blogs. Money just seems to go together with blogs so well! Seriously, I&#8217;ve been blogging and making money for 3 1/2 years. June will be 4 years for me! Want to know what made a difference when it came to my blogs? Money starting coming in more and more after I joined The Niche Blogger. I know, I know, I rave about this program&#8230;when something is this good, you just want to talk about it.</p>
<p>What is The Niche Blogger, and what isn&#8217;t it?<br />
The Niche Blogger is a step by step process that shows you how you can make a blog, and optimize it to make money. Amy Bass, the owner of the site is a great mentor and has really made the learning process so simple. Why would a seasoned blogger join? I joined because I believed in Amy, and the quality she was offering. Let me tell you what happened&#8230;I joined up for a month, not sure if I&#8217;d stick around or not&#8230;and in less than 4 weeks, I&#8217;d signed up to be a lifetime member! (TRUE STORY)</p>
<p>I saw solid content. It wasn&#8217;t just the content she was offering, but how she was doing it. It wasn&#8217;t technical jargon, it was simplified text and video that showed step by step&#8230;do this, click here, add this, join here&#8230;.and I&#8217;ve not looked back. I&#8217;m a huge fan, so it&#8217;s hard for me to just quietly sit here and go..oh, by the way, nice little program for you to check out. This is a great program that really can get you involved with blogs. Money follows&#8230;my income has increased, and yours can too!</p>
<p>Listen, here&#8217;s what The Niche Blogger is NOT&#8230;it&#8217;s not a magic formula. Buckets of cash won&#8217;t fall over your head&#8230;oh, yes, I&#8217;ve struck it rich! Not going to happen, but what does happen is you create some nice passive income that just keeps growing. On top of that, once you&#8217;ve created one blog, you can then go on and replicate that process over and over again! Then you have all these blogs. Money follows&#8230;</p>
<p>Earning blogging money is a lot easier than you might think. The most important thing you should realize is that you need a solid plan of action if you are going to have any hope of earning a good income from your blogs.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not enough to just put a blog up and hope that the money will start to roll in! You will put time and energy into this, but you truly have to look at it as a business. Invest in yourself, and know that a lot of people are out here making money with their blogs. I&#8217;m one of them&#8230;and I&#8217;ve got to say, I love The Niche Blogger. </p>
<p>One of the best things about blogging is that once you have your blog set up it is relatively passive income. See that pattern? Blogs. Money. Earning money from blogs can literally change your life for the better. I use my blogging money to travel, and just this week I booked a two week trip to Florida&#8230;Disney and the Florida Keys&#8230;blogging is such a great way to increase your income. I&#8217;m not saying to give up your day job tomorrow, but there&#8217;s true potential here.</p>

<p>Are you ready to earn extra cash? I know when I started blogging, it was a big motivator! The internet has opened so many opportunities for making money, but one of the best ways to get started earning extra cash is by blogging. </p>
<p>When you&#8217;re ready to start blogging and earn extra cash, knowing where to start can get overwhelming. Where to I start? Where do I host a blog? Do I make a free one, or buy my own domain? What do I blog about, and how can I make money blogging? How do I make a blog that makes money, because I hear a lot of people do it but aren&#8217;t making money. Yeah, but a lot of people are&#8212; myself included! </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve tried a lot of different methods to make money online, and I always come back to blogging. Seriously,  after having tried many Internet marketing opportunities, I have to recommend blogging as the simplest way to earn extra cash. I&#8217;m not kidding here, I even am getting my son started on it. It&#8217;s something anyone can do, and it&#8217;s a great way to earn extra cash. My son is 15, and won&#8217;t be looking for a summer job until he&#8217;s 16, but blogging is something he can start now. </p>
<p>What I love is that blogging is a passive form of income. Your blogs can earn for you whether you are at your computer or not! I don&#8217;t know how to make this any clearer. I&#8217;m making money while I&#8217;m sleeping, on vacation, out to the movies with my family&#8230;it doesn&#8217;t matter. </p>
<p>Getting started blogging is the hard part. I definitely recommend that you seek the advice and help of a seasoned veteran. I&#8217;ll tell you why&#8230;there are easy ways to do things, and there are hard ways to do things. I started learning by trial and error a long time ago, but you don&#8217;t have to. In fact, even though I all ready knew about blogging, I still joined The Niche Blogger. People were raving about it, and I wanted to know more&#8230;man, am I glad I joined. Can you say SOLID, QUALITY information? </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve reviewed other blogging tutorials, read tutorials, ebooks and more&#8230;and this is the best of them all. There are truly no steps left out, so you won&#8217;t feel overwhelmed and you&#8217;ll be able to earn extra cash. What could you do with extra money? Yeah, I thought of a lot of things, and guess what&#8230;.I&#8217;m doing them!</p>
<p>It has to be said that you probably won&#8217;t have money in your hands tomorrow using this method. Blogs can sometimes take a while to build up some income. That being said, once you understand how to have a solid foundation, you can replicate it and make multiple blogs, which brings in more and more income! </p>
<p>If you do need cash within the next few days your best bet might be to offer a service. You might even offer services to other bloggers so you can get your feet wet in this industry. At the same time, you need to be sure to build up your blogs to the level where you won&#8217;t need fast income in the future.</p>
<p>Think of the work you will be doing on your blogs as a way to secure your future. While you might have to &#8220;sweat&#8221; a little now to get your blogs up and running, in the future they will act as passive income<br />
earners for you. </p>
<p>All you&#8217;ll need to do is add a few posts here and there after you&#8217;re established, and you&#8217;re good to go for earning the income you need. There is no better way to earn extra cash!</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also no better way to decrease the time it will take you to a profitable blogs than to join The Niche Blogger.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If you&#8217;re looking for a make money online opportunity- blogging is the perfect opportunity. It&#8217;s no wonder so many people are catching on. You&#8217;re not alone&#8230;a lot of people are struggling to make ends meet, and teh extra money you bring in from blogging can really help make a difference. </p>
<p>I get excited talking about this, because it&#8217;s working for me. It&#8217;s been working for me for awhile now&#8230;and it can work for you. I&#8217;m not somebody &#8220;special&#8221;&#8230;there&#8217;s no magic fairy dust in my life. <strong>I&#8217;m just an average girl next door, and if I can make money online YOU CAN TOO. </strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s talk about blogs for a minute. You&#8217;re reading one now, right? Have you ever thought to yourself, &#8220;I could do that!&#8221; You can&#8230;that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m trying to get across to you- it is that simple. You can do this&#8230;but there&#8217;s one small itsy bitsy thing. No, wait&#8230;it&#8217;s not magic. It&#8217;s not a lifelong struggle&#8230;what I do want to tell you is that while a lot of people blog, not all bloggers are making money. In fact, it took me a little bit to learn how to make money blogging. Want to know how you can make money blogging? You find somebody who has done it, and let them mentor you. It&#8217;s like getting a great learning curve. I stumbled through this in the beginning, trying to figure it out on my own. Here&#8217;s the beauty of it, you don&#8217;t have to&#8230;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a way to make money online. It&#8217;s an opportunity that will take you by the hand, and show you step by step how to do this. If you&#8217;re a beginner, then this is perfect for you. You absolutely have to check out The Niche Blogger. Let me tell you about Amy. Amy is a mentor, and a really great one. </p>

<p>She&#8217;s a mom with four kids, and works from home. She was just like me, trying to figure out how to make money online. The difference is, she found her path and had great success. I had success, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but it was mediocre success. That was when my path crossed Amy&#8217;s path. She filled in those missing puzzle pieces for me&#8230;and I saw corners I had cut, and small things I could do differently. Suddenly, things were clicking and I was doing better&#8230;.my income started to increase&#8230;.</p>
<p>Here I was an avid blogger, all ready making money online, and in just a few months my income was going up! It was all because of Amy&#8217;s course, The Niche Blogger.

I&#8217;ve made money online&#8230;but when I found this opportunity to have a mentor like Amy Bass- I joined right in. Not only did I join, but after only 1 month- I became a lifetime member because what Amy offered was pure QUALITY, DETAILED information. It took my blogging to another level&#8230;</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re a new blogger or if you&#8217;ve been blogging for awhile. If you want to make money online, opportunity doesn&#8217;t come around like this often. Sure there are people selling books and courses left and right. Trust me, I wasted my money on them for the last few years.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I make money. Business is going swell. What business am I in? I make money in the business of blogging and web marketing. A lot of people attempt to make money blogging, but things just don&#8217;t come together for them, or they don&#8217;t know how to go about it. Finding no success, they quickly get discouraged and go on their way thinking blogs don&#8217;t make money and it&#8217;s a smoke dream. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s a shame, because if they just had a solid mentor, or had a good blueprint to follow, they&#8217;d be in the blogging business, making money too. If I can do it, so can you. Internet marketing is NOT a pipe dream. It&#8217;s a true way to make money. Listen, without guidance, you will just be spinning your wheels. I know. My wheels were spinning for a long time, but I was persistent. I knew if other people could succeed- I could too. It was just finding the right plan to follow. </p>
<p>While I was making money, I knew I could make more. Thankfully, I stumbled upon a post by a woman named Amy. It caught my attention, because it spoke in my language. It wasn&#8217;t using technical jargon, and it laid out exactly what I could expect, and how I would get there. </p>
<p>The problem was, would this truly be different, or would my dreams to make money, well, make more money go out the door? Man, I seriously couldn&#8217;t believe what I found&#8230;it truly was golden for me. You can make money. I can make money. We can make money together. The business of blogging is alive and well when you have the right help.</p>
<p>There is a difference between just playing at making money online and actually running an online business. You have to decide for yourself that you are going to treat Internet marketing like a business. Once I changed my course, things started clicking, and suddenly the pieces fit together. With Amy&#8217;s guidance, my entire look at the web shifted. I started to see things I&#8217;d overlooked, tiny details I could fix that would impact me in a big way. </p>
<p>Let me tell you how much I loved what Amy offered. In the very first month, me&#8230;a long time blogger, jumped from being a monthly member to a lifetime member. I saw quality, and it was solid information. It was golden, and Amy wasn&#8217;t holding back. Trust me, I&#8217;ve seen a lot of garbage over the last few years. I was able to unsubscribe from all the junk other people were sending me, and just focus on the plan Amy was laying out. Day by day, month by month- added value, added content and a clear, simple path to follow. This is for beginners as well as advanced people, and it&#8217;s truly spelled out step by step. It makes it super easy for beginners. </p>
<p>When you do this, you&#8217;ll start to notice that the money comes in far more easily and quickly. Instead of spinning your wheels, you&#8217;ll actually be getting somewhere. Ready to make money? Business is moving along swimmingly for me&#8230;and I continue to thrive. I&#8217;m growing, as I continue to keep learning. Aren&#8217;t you tired of going nowhere? </p>
<p>For me, the joy in making passive income is what it&#8217;s all about. Passive income baby, passive income! </p>
<p>I like to make money. The business of blogging is my business, and it&#8217;s a good one. I love it, and I get to work at home in my jammies, hanging out with my dogs during the day, rather than dealing with some rat race of a commute, rather than dealing with office politics. I blaze a path and goal each day that I set, and I set my schedule, and it&#8217;s flexible as hell, because I work at home&#8230;for myself. </p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you tried blogging in the past or not, now&#8217;s the time to give it another try.</p>
<p>If you are serious about starting a business that can be life changing, I recommend The Niche Blogger membership site. Amy Bass is hands down one of the best mentors I&#8217;ve met online. She&#8217;s genuine and sincere. I am SO behind her, that I spend a good deal of time in the private forums. In fact, if you join, and you get stuck&#8230;you&#8217;re welcome to personally contact me (Deb) and I&#8217;ll help you out the best I&#8217;m able to. This community is hands down available 24 hours a day, and people are always jumping in to help each other. It&#8217;s a rare treat to have a community that&#8217;s about everyone getting ahead, not about climbing on your neighbor to get ahead. This is a let me help you, what are you stuck on community! This isn&#8217;t even the best part&#8230;.</p>
<p>The video and information that Amy offers each and every day is so great. You see so many people saying how blow away they are at the detailed information and how much they&#8217;ve learned all ready. What part of the puzzle are you missing? Stop spinning your wheels, and finally get the traction you&#8217;ve been needing. It&#8217;s time to succeed, and with The Niche Blogger, it doesn&#8217;t get any easier. Ready to make money? Business models come in all types, and your type is going to be blogging! Ready? Set. Go!</p>
<p>Are you ready to get a hands on &#8220;degree&#8221; in blogging? Nah, it&#8217;s not a real &#8220;degree&#8221;, but it sure feels like one. You will truly be so happy you joined, because you&#8217;ll learn day after day after day.  Through the Niche Blogger you&#8217;ll discover exactly how to be a business owner that gets your assets earning for you all the time.  This could be a life-changing decision for you. It was for me. </p>
