You're trying to teach people how to make money without yourself being able to make money. This is probably the single commonest cause of beginning internet marketers' failures. It's just not a suitable niche, at all.

Why dont you start by having adsense on your blog? at least this will earn you something as you think of other ways.

Are you at least trying to build a list?

Building an email list is one of the most essential things you can do.

Give your market something of value like a Free ebook the would love in exchange for their email address.

Then you market affiliate products to them via email (of course you must build a relationship with them as well so that they trust you and view you as an authority.)

Yes trying to build a list but hardly 10 subscribers in 1 year

Don't teach how to make money if you are not making money. It's easy to see that you have no clue on what you're talking about and no one will follow you.

I agree with the others - you need to do it first before teaching others to do it.

Let me ask you this: If you could not drive a car, would you get in a car and attempt to teach others to drive a car?

I do have a blog, part of it shows how I made money, and all the experiences that went along with it.

I show proof of this in many ways (including a video of me logging into my dashboard to show income etc), and as a result, the blog is already making a very small income - and I have nearly 100 subscribers (blog is less than 4 months old).

Sure, nothing great there, but it as at least on the right lines.

Good luck.

You started a website on "how to make money online", but you don't know how to make money online. Isn't that a little strange? The problem is staring you in the face and your being stubborn about it.

Why does this always happen, lol. Poor guy.

abbe77,

Create a useful WSO on how to make money selling services on Fiverr.

You already have some successful services there.

Get writing or recording video.

Get out of MMO for now. You can always come back later.

Use your brain man. I know it's in there.

Your site looks pretty good. I would lose the sidebar ad that pops up and never leaves even when you scroll. Also... get out of the "make money online" niche. It's obvious that you dont know how to make money online. How are you going to convince others to do it then? Enter into a different small niche market, and promote products there.

How are you getting traffic? What have you got to offer people when they sign up? Do you have any products to sell? If you visited your own site what would you think?
Perhaps your target market is too broad? Who is your customer?
Answering some of these questions might give you a clearer idea of what to do.

Your site has no traffic and is not ranking for any keywords. Learn some basic seo knowledge to 1st get ranked.

Maybe try another niche!

I saw your signature about guest posting. Why don't you try that? Guest posting is, after all, a great way to bring in a lot of targeted traffic. My guess is your blog does not have enough traffic, so read this forum for traffic methods first.

Also, are you updating your blog regularly enough to keep your readers coming back to you? Is your website design professional? Your design plays a major role in your conversions.

These are just a few things you can look into.

How many visitors you can get now? I suggest drive more traffic to your website.

People are giving you the right answers. You have info on your site that explains how people can make money online but you aren't able to use the info so you come here and ask. You don't see anything wrong with this?

UHM your very first blog is "How to Make Money through Blogging" :-/

That made me chuckle.

I was on your site for about 5 minutes. I am not sure how you are trying to make money.

Where would the income source be?

What product you have on your blog that you want to sell? You need a product to sell and then you can make money.

You have an awful lot of Text on your site - enough to put people off trying to wade through it!

Why not add some videos and images to break it up a bit - are you also using a lot of PLR content????

That is why I write about trucking. It's what I know, and do. I can't teach someone to fly a plane. I'm starting to make money after 2 years. But It's in a niche I know very well.

Hi Abbe,

I think Alexa's right. It's pretty difficult to try and sell your expertise about making money online when you don't actually make any. Been there, done that. $10/ month is really not a difficult target to achieve but you should maybe start with another topic.

You mention " few ways" but don't provide details. Are you trying to build a list? How do you drive traffic to your site? Free or paid traffic?

There are so many different ways of driving targeted traffic to a site but once again, you're tackling a massive DINOSAURE here. Making money online is just about everywhere. If you were to continue, I'd suggest you narrow down your topic as much as possible. You need to find a sub-sub-sub-sub niche but that's not easy within the field of MMO.

Also, you could create a new blog about something different that doesn't require "proof that you are actually making big $$$$", learn from it and then come back to your makemoneyroom.com with the experience etc. By the way, I do like the name and I think you should keep it for later. Don't let it expire, it's a really good name.

Hope this helps. Don't feel discouraged. Change directions for the time being and start making money from an easier niche.

Good luck with everything.

This is how I'm learning. When I become a success with this site then I can move on to other things. It makes it easier to learn Internet Marketing when you write about something you know. For me this is what works best.

You're missing the most important part of trial and error: don't waste time and money continuing to do what doesn't work.

After one year of trial and error, you still aren't making money with a blog that supposedly teaches others how to make money with their blogs, and you have less than 10 subscribers.

Sometimes trial and error teaches that the best way to make $10 a month from a site is to simply drop that monthly hosting bill and quit buying content for it.

How to make money from your site? Stop pretending that it is a site written by someone who knows how to make money online. It isn't.

Write about your JOURNEY towards making money. Write about what you do to make money. What you've done that doesn't make money and why not. In other words, write something new, personal, interesting and unique.

Unless your visitors have never set eyes on a "make money online" site before they will instantly realise that, as it stands, it is a set of standard articles about standard IM products.

For goodness sake you even have a page that says "A 100+ page book that shows how I turned a $5/day income into $38,000 in 6 weeks, and then much, much more since then". Clearly that is a big, fat "porky pie". Ditch it. By all means review the product, and write about how it has or hasn't helped you, but don't pretend you are doing something you aren't.

If you aim your site at newbies, make it entertaining and engaging and encourage them to follow your learning you might well get a list of people who will be interested in your experiences and your opinions of the products you have tried. Then you can get affiliate commissions from the products that work - but you have to be honest. You will quickly lose respect if you pretend to review a product you haven't used just to get commissions and your list find out it's a **** product.

And stop being so defensive. You are doing yourself no favours.

Man this will never work..

You can't have a blog teaching people to make money if you're struggling yourself..

Try another niche.

Cheers,

Gary

I am listening... but what you say about his attitude... isn't it so RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. Were you all IM here born with these skills or were PERFECT at the beginning????

You aren't going to stop, are you. So I for one am not interested in even trying to help you anymore.

If they suggest me to LEAVE, DELETE, RUNAWAY from this niche... so I m not gonna listen....but if they have something to make it better, Welcome

I think having a blog in the long run would make money, but to get you started with making money today, you should start at fiverr.com or similar sites. You can study top gigs on different niches and make notes of the best ones. Work out a plan to offer similar gigs and target sub keywords.

You could easily teach yourself how to make banners, logos, one page websites etc.

Don't give up easily, before you know it, you will get gig orders and reach level 2 and sell your services for better prices.

You can always PM me for help, I am online most days.

All the best and keep your chin up - it will all work out.

It's looks like a simple site, Have you ever thought about adding a video? Video is big these days and it can increase you on site time from 45sec to 5 min witch is HUGE. Just find a simple video company like animoto.com and make a video relating to the content on your website:-) This will increase you ranking opt-in and SALE$ in no time.

I also became 'the victim of information overload' ... started one thing then other and another.... So could not focus on one thing

Instead of trying to teach people who to make money, since you are still learning yourself. Why not show people what you are doing to create an income online.

Even if you haven't make a lot of money. People always want to see what others are doing to create an income.

You could use your blog as a journal and post in it what is working and what is not. Eventually as people start to see your blog, they will start subscribing to your list to see what you are doing.

This works, you just have to be willing to show people what you are doing. You don't have to show everything, but give them enough to get them interested in what you are doing. Good Luck

I think being unique...
