If you are into internet marketing or have been for a while, you certainly know the power in social media. Many bloggers using social media at the stage where they primary interested in using it as a tool for traffic.
It’s all good for increasing your site popularity, but one of the reason why very few part time blogger make full time income from Google Adsense is why their blog are not a social blog.
They do not do the whole social things, such as encourage readers to submit their posts to social sites such as Digg, Stumbleupon, etc. They don’t tweet their posts, or chat with other bloggers. Their purpose is to gearing their posts towards readers and towards Google.
It’s by reading blog like ClickforNick for the last month that I have learned more about Adsense, the importance of backlinks, seo and why I knew a social blog couldn’t get good results with Adsense.
Adsense will not make you rich if you have a website built exclusively for social media. Adsense works best if you get much traffic from Google in a determinate niche.
Make money with AdSense requires not just the optimization of one post but of the whole site and if you’re building a social blog those two things simply don’t work togheter.
Build Relationships With Social Media And Make Money Online With Affiliate Programs
Developing relationships with other bloggers can be made in two ways:
First, you can just send an email to blog in your niche and try to start a relationships with them. In my experience, this is poor strategy. I receive a lot of email in this way, but the only answers I can give is: Thank you for mail! or something to similar, but it’s hard to start a relationship in this way.
Second, social media helps readers to connect with each other. They allows you to give a contribute to the community, share idee, partecipate to discussions and so on.
As I said first, if you’re building a social blog it’s hard to succeed with adsense. In these case, If you want really make money online you need to focus energies solely on the affiliate programs.
It’s hard to monetize social traffic directly and convert your affiliate offers into sales, but if social media is used correctly for many time, then it can lead to good income in a more indirect way.
First to start with an affiliate website I reccomend you to read “The Super Affiliate Handbook” of Canadian Rosalind.
