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)

With the increase in online presence of  designer clothing lines, perfume shops and gadgets and  electronic and computer accessories  anyone or everyone can now compare and shop with a click of a mouse , also to benefit of many in the e-marketing  Industry. The ease of set up of a e shop  has the e-commerce advantages in the price factor over setting up a brick and mortar shop has further advanced this  sector.

Online spending habits for 2011- 2012

The boxing day sales  and then the Christmas rush will see the online sales booming over this holiday period , so what has been selling like hotcakes online.

According to many online news and  electronic websites, gadgets seem to be one of the favourite gifts this happy season wether if was bough online or then  through a brick and mortar shop.  Australian online news journal SMH says its Bricks versus clicks this holiday season , as online stores battle with retail shops. In fact  the brick and  mortar shops have joined the Online shopping revolution  with J B HI FI  and  Harvey Norman opening their very own cheap prices Direct import online shops.

Top selling / Sales  for Online Gadgets

PC magazine says “iOS Devices Dominate Mobile Online Shopping” which will certainly see the smart e-marketers make a move on this one. They say “Statistics released this week from the retail analysis firm Rich Relevance indicate that iPads and iPhones are the top mobile devices that consumers use to make retail purchases”  . According to IBM, the iPhone and iPad ranked first and second for consumer shopping on mobile devices on Black Friday on of the High traffic Sales day in the US.

“For the holiday season through Dec. 18, nearly $32 billion has been spent online, a 15 percent increase versus the corresponding days last year” says ecreditdaily.com.

The most popular items were audio equipment, laptops , tablets  and gaming items, but customers also snapped up domestic appliances such as kettles, fryers, slow cookers, toasters and vacuum cleaners which were also popular in the stores.

Australian Article Writers – Hard to get

In fact many bloggers have already started doing it  , but many have since realized that the quality and engagement created by the article is not worth the money or then they are not getting any Google love due to the weak articles produced for cheap money spent.

Websites offering Content writing

Websites such a freelancer.com and elance.com  , odesk.com and other similar websites  focus more on website development  and is pretty good for that , but fail to deliver on copy writing  or content writing in my opinion  as these areas are not their main focus. The professional level of English sought for the articles for a well established blog or website are often hard to get from these kinda websites due to the writers bidding for the projects not being that professionally adept for the job.

Content produced by a professional like copyblogger is often hard to get , or if not hard to get  then quite pricey  to afford  ( $80 for 300 words wow..might be writing with a gold penf or the articel ) for a blogger or website owner  to make any financial sense  to them.

With the new google panda update affecting how we manage our blog and content on it  and also now search engines like bing are getting in on the act of re-defining thier SEO and search parameters. A post οn Webmasterworld frοm Duane Forrester explains that if a user searches for a term and reaches your website and  quickly clicks out of your website  its obvious the content is not as interesting or good and they search engines are definitely taking into account these statistics into their search algorithms.

Get Australian article writers for your blog or website

If you’re looking for a good copywriter in Australia or another country for your web pages or other online marketing material, i write articles about finance , technology, Stock market and Business and political issues with a Australian focus  but can also write  for an international focus. I mainly do only these articles  as i like to follow the news in these areas.

The website or blog content you receive from me will be high quality and unique. It will not be sold to others or re-used and it will not have been created by any article spinning software that some cheap article writers use on some of the more popular freelancing providing websites. If you are interested in getting a article writer and want to contact me or get an example of the different articles i have written, send me an enquiry from the contact me page.
