Follow Top bloggers to become top money making blogger

But  there are some  that do ( up to a certain extent) reveal the blogging secrets, and the smart people  can get the clues from their posts (to get the bigger picture) from the information revealed. Makemoney online is a hard game  and i got some of my favourite bookmarked blogs that give me regular useful information , that you might find useful too which i have listed below.

Some of the blogs that i follow surely are some of the biggest money earners on the internet,  but in relation to handing out any useful tips to making money,  only a few of these blogs occasionally post anything useful when they are not flogging stuff. So i have ranked these blog’s below in order of importance to me and for you. Some of these  unfortunately as John Chow states, have pretty much become “internet marketing whores”  and they sometimes are blogs  that “who flog, more than blog”  ( yeh yeh !! sure  John Chow)

Check out these blogs for making money online

But he still dishes out good stuff , so ill hang on for a while receiving those emails 

2. Glen – - http://www.viperchill.com/

I recently  tried his  opt in membership plugin without much success and some precious real estate  taken up on mu blog  but then  found out  that i can get  members more by just making my request more visible on blog  on popular posts and  making the request more actionable and  so now  don’t need his plugin. But his Blog posts are AWESOME  so yeh  ” look it up “

3. Michael Gray – http://www.wolf-howl.com/

I used to follow shoemoney quite fervently 4 to 5 years ago when he used to blog quite useful  and details posts on makingmoneyonline , making money from AdSense ,  Adwords strategy and blog optimization , but now he just  posts pic’s of himself with good looking chicks and  occasionally  writes some detailed informative posts on SEO and  other stuff as mentioned above.

Amazon Kindle Fire pictures above

This new Techo gadget are the most-desired electronic devices this holiday season. Of all the gifts people are craving, tablets with clothing taking the no 1 spot according to a consumer Association.

Bob 56, plans to purchase an iPad for his son and his sister  who lives in  Washington. His parents live in Florida. So he’s excited to be able to video chat with his parents – them on the new iPad, him on his iPhone.

Tablets were on many peoples wish lists last year, but they were too pricey and they technology was still new so was still getting adapted too, now with smartphones  everybody is getting more exposed to the new touchscreen technology.

Two of the most promising competitors come from online retailer Amazon.com Inc. and book seller Barnes & Noble Inc.

Some price released recently for the

1. iPad’s $499 base price
2.  Amazon’s Kindle Fire, which costs $199
3. Barnes & Noble’s Nook Tablet, which costs $249.

Tablets are popping up in unexpected places, too. with  the ipad being used to control customised helicopters that can fly indoors , buggys made to be controlled by the iphone and ipad and many more gizmos.For some people, the device has become indispensable for playing and working.

But while many think of the iPad as synonymous with the word “tablet,” plenty of shoppers will be looking for a more affordable tablet to give this year with heaps of new customised software versions coming out with new android software.

“When tablets start to get  below $200, sales go up dramatically,” says technology analyst Rob Enderle and is going to be evident in the good cheaper prices for these gadgets these years. Check out some reviews and pics on the latest tablets here. “PC TABLETS REVIEWS”

I had a job on integrating a  ”AMAZON ASTORE” into a self hosted wordpress site. I trawled the internet for ways to best put in the “amazon astore”  to match the theme and design of the blog. I cam across  this site “ Robin Maluau – rockstar now geek” and “ Kristella’s blog” that gave me some useful tips, which probably wont make sense to some  who are not  as much technically minded. Since they  have published those useful posts for getting Amazon store to work with wordpress and blogger ,  blogger and wordpress itself has changed  and got updated to new versions  making “integrating  you amazon Astore more easy” than ever.

I  had the job of updating  a wordpress website “www.australianpropertymarket.com.au” with a Amazon product store, so  i did a bit of research  and found many articles some useful most outdated and finally  got  the amazon store nicely working  with wordpress just by copying and pasting code in wordpress. Its that siimple now !! 

Integrating Amazon A store Into wordpress / Blogger

I will show you how to integrate  you amazon store in few easy steps. Make sure you change the theme  while making the Astore  to match your store theme colours.

Create the Astore in amazon and get the inline frame embed link like below.

Got to word press , add new page   click the html mode and  post the embed  code you got into the page .Got to page attributes on your right  and switch the page template column to “page template – no sidebars” so that  your amazon sidebar is the only  sidebar that’s seen on the theme. Some themes block this feature  to not have the regular sidebar option , and you might have to mess around further with the code. Here is another example  of  the Amazon  astore Narvey Horman website on a standard wordpress template but without the Amazon sidebar ( adjusting the  width and height dimension in the  inline embed frame code of amazon will get  you this page) . You can check out the example  link below  for the Full amazon astore embed page in the word press website on propertymarket website

Create word press Amazon page

Y0u can further mess around with the amazon code for width and height and change as necessary or then change the page attributes  to suit  where the “amazon page” goes on your links menu.

You can follow a similar way to get this “amazon page on blogger” . I will  post a tutorial  how to integrate  Amazon Astore on blogger   when i get some spare time.

You can check out the result here  at the property  market website  &  another example  of  the Amazon  astore Narvey Horman website 

All the best  and let me know if you run into any problems implementing this.

DODGY/ fraud plugins for wordpress

I installed this  plugin and though i would do a check  to see how things are going . to my horor i found that  the  amazon link are pointing to someone else amazon id , which would obiviously be the plugin maker. So i was ytricked into handing over all my commisiions to the  this guy . DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN  it is  a scam. IT will replace all you   amazon links with this id link “http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=petewill-20” .

[ Author of this plugin has sent me a clarification message , which i have posted at bottom of post ]

check out the pic below

I clicked one of the about links http://petewilliams.info/ and also the id  link that covered mylinks with his links  was “http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=petewill-20”

The plugin ” Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer”

This is totally sneaky and wrong, please do not download this plugin.

  Clarification sent from Plugin author: Pete williams

Hi,

My name’s Pete and I wrote this plugin. It looks like there’s been a bit of a mixup here so I thought I’d try and clear it up for you.

Just to explain, the script does use my affilliate IDs, but *only* where you don’t provide your own. It will never overwrite your IDs, and so will never deprive you of any commission. This is explained on the page on my site for this script, on it’s page in the WordPress Plugin directory and again in the plugin’s readme.txt – so obviously I am not trying to scam anyone:

“DISCLOSURE
If you do not insert your own affiliate IDs the script will use mine. Hopefully this will help fund my book addiction!”

With this in mind, I’d appreciate it if you could update your post to correct the information.

Thanks

Pete

 

My response: I certainly had put my id in  and this was still happening when i had used this plugin , this might have been fixed since then . so you can most certainly  have a look for yourself if you interested in this plugin  and check it outfor yourself if you like.

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.

There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.
"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die. …….

twitter.com/chetan_bhagat

One thing about nurturing the spark – don’t take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? ……

It’s ok to score low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, have little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices………"
