Why Work For Others At Lower Pay?
27 October 2009 | 
Author “Why work for others at a lower pay?” is my question to you today. When I see people taking an assignment to write articles ranging from 3-500 words for a mere 10$, something must be seriously wrong.
I take in more than double that amount on each article I write during the first month — minimum. That is only counting Adsense ads – not even counting in the banner ads on many of my Danish blogs and websites.
Why sell yourself short?
I do occasionally take in assignments to write articles for others, but I do run a minimum policy of 40$ for 800 words approximately — and if the customer wants to change anything it’s his decision. I deliver material that is ready for publication, but if the customer wants to make changes, that is perfectly okay with me.
I have written on numerous subjects ranging from financial advice, taxation, religion, travel advice all the way to health advice and weight loss. When people need articles for a quit smoking site, ten-fifteen articles can truly spice up any site, and I am only glad to help in instances where someone wants special content for their sites.
Could I earn more by releasing it myself? Very probably. My main interest is that I can stay focused for ten-fifteen, or maybe twenty articles on any given subject, but it might not be any subject I want to write 200 articles about.
So, as you can see, it all has to do with what TYPE of assignment one has to do. It’s not just about money, but you shouldn’t sell yourself short.
Good luck with keeping your blogs up to date. Get some content on your blogs, and start building some pagerank and quality backlinks when people see the quality of your content.

PageRank ain't everything
PageRank ain’t everything. CONTENT is the alpha and omega of any blog. This content needs supplementing from links and organic action. Organic action may be people adding your site to StumbleUpon or referencing from their Twitter or Facebook pages. All in all, one article can score well (because it has lots of good unique content ranking well on specific keywords, whereas the blog itself may score a zero or “n/a” as PageRank.
The whole SEO area is somewhat grey for many. They view sites based on single parameters whereas you would normally have to consider many factors to get a complete overview of how well your site performs. Many of these factors are discussed in some detail in many different forums, but the whole subject is rarely covered in one complete way.
This brings me to the logical conclusion that I could create a theme on that subject over a period of two months. Already, I am considering doing that during the months of January and February 2010. But I need your feedback to create articles that are spot on for my readers.
Therefore, this is a pre-launch in the sense of announcing a future theme, but also a request for information because I want to know what YOU need. What worries you in the area of search engine optimization? Please bring forth a comment so I know what you want me to write about. We need to get YOU into action mode so you can begin earning money online.
I look forward to reading your comments. Thanks very much beforehand. 
Becoming a Chef
Becoming a chef is the dream of many who work in kitchens all over the world. They like the idea of becoming self-employed, but very often they have very lacking skills when it comes to knowledge about handling your own business, dealing with other people/employees, purchases etc.
In a hurry, then go straight to:

More Than 300 Articles
You can find more than 300 articles on this blog on the subject of earning money online. You may not have had time to read each of them, but I do hope you have chosen to peruse the categories from time to time. I have tried to service many aspects of earning money online. But I have also tried to bring very different articles on this english blog compared with the danish blog I maintain on the same subject. All these articles should motivate those who speak both languages.
I hope to have succeeded in doing this.
Occasionally I have considered trying to run a very special niche. That niche is worth thousands of dollars, and yet many fail to see the potential. They focus all their attention on english-speaking nations when there’s a whole market available for them in either French or German. Why is that?
Mainly, it’s because people are in “crisis mode”…. But what have all the wise people done? They have re-structured their businesses DURING this crisis so they are better prepared when times are good again. Why haven’t you done the same? Or, better yet, have you ALSO taken steps to re-structure YOUR business? Please do comment how your business is doing during this crisis, and take a look at http://www.blunck.dk/global-internet-marketing/ if you want to start bringing in the gold from these untapped markets…
Converting Articles Into Video
Converting articles into video is something some claim is the recipe for success. I would challenge this view by saying you need to focus PRIMARILY on having good content, and THEN – when you need extra elements – you can add boxes with content that BUILDS upon your message.
But a bad article won’t become any better just because it’s read aloud. I decided to expand upon that in a short video which I described in the following way on YouTube:
http://www.blunck.dk/earning-money-online is the blog you want to follow rather than falling for the idea that poor content converted into video would suddenly make you rich overnight. Ways of optimizing into REAL and FREE traffic are easily and readily available on my blog, so I do hope you would follow http://www.blunck.dk/earning-money-online if earning money online is what you want to achieve.
Ranking high in search engines is based primarily on GOOD CONTENT. Furthermore, it’s based upon announcing it in all the RIGHT and relevant places. Then you also want to bring organic traffic to your sites, and that is based upon delivering HIGH-QUALITY, UNIQUE content to people.
Good luck.
Ultimate Conversion Guide
Today, I want to bring you an ultimate conversion guide. The very first step is in your hands before you’ve finished this article. It converts like crazy, and I bring it to you so you can start monetizing on your products also.
People think visually. As I’ve already said, people aren’t banner blind. Au contraire. They are very much attracted to serious graphics — not jumping stars and all that fancy stuff. Just plain and simple good stuff you can bring to the forefront of your blog and/or website.
In fact, the first big trick you’re getting today is to review your website. Find three or four products you want to feature this month, and bring them to the forefront of your website. I’ve done this with both the Preventing a Divorce e-book and the video-course, WordPress Unleashed.
But that isn’t the best in all of this. One busy man wrote me to thank me for saving his marriage. He had been disillusioned about the whole earning money online industry, and was ready to give up. My article during the weekend about marketing had inspired him to view his online business from a whole new perspective. He was now ready to take action, and he not only invested in the video-course WordPress Unleashed but also the Preventing a Divorce e-book. When he got to the chapter “Family Involvement”, it dawned upon him. “I need to get more INVOLVED with my family”….
Table of Contents of Preventing a Divorce e-book
I could easily have told him this. I know, from personal experience, that it IS important to be involved in quality time WITH your family before you EVER try to build an income online. In the beginning it DOES TAKE TIME. Don’t kid yourself by listening to gurus who tell you it can be done in minutes by signing in to their programs. Do the necessary groundwork and all become more easy later on in the process.
When you want to bring something into people’s attention, you need to bring it to the forefront of where they’re looking. Use your menu, your header or an article to BRING people to the content you want them to pay attention to. It’s a real lifesaver, as you have just seen. Saving this person’s marriage makes it even more fun. Refocusing his attention brought new inspiration for him, and THAT makes it all the more fun to be in this industry.
Carpe diem. Seize the day.
