Importance of research for success in online business

Though every one is very much clear on the importance of research for creating money out of the online business. But still to bring it higher in the priority list its important to understand its importance.
Lets have answers to following questions.
Q. What is your hourly rate for technical work?
Q. What work you can accept and what work you can refuse from cost perspective?
Q. How much time is good enough to be devoted for certain business activity?
Q. How much shall be your expenditure on the infrastructure for the online business?
Q. What are the standings of similar businesses as compared with yours?
Q. What is the key you have over the competition? (Why you?)

The research on the above and more similar questions shall not give your business a rocket boost, but for sure it'll give the strong base to take off with visibility. Some of the problem of future can be treated well in advance.

Good point is that its re-search, search is already done, just integrate it to your system and get going.
Good Luck!!

Look out for new trend, innovation is the key

Its very important to judge the time and go along an innovative idea.

There was time when just having a simple web was a good business, reason as we all know is simple the number of websites were very less and a simple website had a broader presence.
Limited count perhaps made Yahoo think of creating the directory of website. The key takeaway from the old story is the timely innovation. The business for websites that time was good not because the odd luck but because they were able to catch up with the wave. Lets look at that time from the eyes of people thinking at that time - Sense of doubt on the success, Not clear where the web will be after a decade or so, High cost of publishing a website and so many other pull backs.

But the one who could think a step ahead of time have made it to what we say classic website business. They have become a success story. Now what it has for us is to judge the trend and identify the point innovation.

Its not advisable to go along the conventional means of online business, the thought have to be out of the league. Every individual has his/her own sense of judgment, you could catch is faster than the other guy in the queue, but then the same holds true for the so many around.
If the competition is stiff so high are the opportunities.

Make a way out and help us to share a new success case study!!
Good Luck!!

Choose the right domain name for your blog

I was wondering on how much a domain name can influence the visibility of a blog. I crawled on the web and what i discovered was really heart braking, my domain "moneymakingcasestudy" is one of the BAD domain. It needs a change, if you don't find same assume its already changed. :)

Lets look into some issues:
The domain should be user friendly and search engine friendly, reason is simple search engine help people to reach your blog and people friendly because they are ultimate end users of the site.

Points to keep in mind are:
1. Spot the primary keywords that you blog about say for this blog we have money, making, online, case, study etc. the domain should be combination of this. Here the search engines like it very much and even user can easily connect to the domain, in a world where we have very less time to scan a website, the domain name is the first impression and only impression at times. [Don't over do it like ending up in moneymakingcasestudy domain.:) here i have to confess i was looking for free blogger domains and without much though ended in this domain following point 1 only]

2. The domain should be one that users can remember, means remember easily, though we may be able to remember the complex maths equation but for domains nobody is going to stress. Here it should also be easy to type not like my-domain-is-easy-to-remember or moneymakingcasestudy :(. Even if somebody like to revisit the site its troubling, and the result is nothing but the favour to some other site.

3. The superlative keywords like money, easy, online, make more money, get dollars easily, should be avoided if not consists the primary keywords, reason is that over the period of time these have lost credibility among users due and have came up as some fraudulent ones. Also lot of commerce, online business, advt. focused sites use these so even search engine has lot options in this range, and thus getting spotted with these keywords is difficult [but no t impossible.:) for this blog we have to be in the pool only and trying hard :)]

4. Generally our small and mid level blogs are not kind of branded and center of focus for an activity, so the CONTEXT of the blog should be reflected in the domain itself as a identity card.
This will help people and machines to connect to your blog in the context of your blog.

These points are related to but not limited to the choice of right domain name, make your perfect choice and take care of these points also, at least you should end up in domain like moneymakingcasestudy, where you have to request users to remember the domain or to add the domain to favt. list. [PS:Treat this is as official request for the same :)]

Stop Worrying Start Working- Help yourself

While scanning some of the popular blogs giving enormous tips, tricks, guidelines to make money online, what attracted my attention was the nature of queries raised by readers.

Most of the queries relate to how can i improve, i am not able to get benefits, can you suggest some tips to make more money and so on... Nothing wrong, rather very good to have the willingness to pick up best of both worlds but whats really in the mind of the readers.



Is it a sense of continuous improvement in the mind ? or Is it the sense of worry arising from not getting the expectations met?

Again, worrying is ok till the time its purpose is to trigger an action, ideally it should be short lived and should die as soon as we make a move. If it's the case then post a comment "not for me" and exit the topic.



Now, the cases when worry is either prolong or doesn't leads to action are dangerous and requires urgent attention. Solution? simple either kill the worry, forget the path and get off the board or take some worthy action. Well seems like the second option is good, we are yet to give our best and will go with that.



Here we are focusing on the worry arising from not meeting the expectation of making good money. Are we missing some action? Is our worry taking best part of our energy? Have we developed negative opinion, without trying much? Just look back and spot what worked and what didn't, that gives a hint to what can work and at least what doesn't work at all.



Now there is ample of information available, all we need is to process it wisely. We'll look into issues in other posts, here the main purpose is to get on the move.

For now one good tip is beside asking for something, have a look into how they are themselves implementing it, pick up some basic recipe suited to your context. Here its not like going for a blind run, following everything and ending up nowhere, but identifying the reasonable ideas that can work for you as well.

Try it, if works ok, if doesn't try next. But point is stay active.

[Gyan: There are times when we have to make tough decisions to separate the infected parts completely. ]

Make a choice of either going on with worry allover mind or Taking right action and ending it now. (wow!! you made a right choice)

Make it but don't Break the base

Getting into shape is important, besides breathing continuously is a mandate.
Once we start exploring the www the imagination of other end is like playing with "W" in the beginning, "W" in the end, "W" after "W", "W" before "W",there is "W" with two "W" in following and "W" with two "W" preceding... someone push a dot please. and guess what, its just the initials, the whole content is yet to follow(read Flow).

So when there is enormous content available to justify why you should do something? and at the same time a huge quantity of why you should not? what do we do?
Finally we end up in nothing but trusting our instincts and that the best we can do. But here is a catch, we miss a hell lot of information on how anything can be done better, faster, more accurately and so on.

Pick is to stay away from blind following but at the same time incorporate best of the both worlds, after all the whole creation is in existence as an gift of the amazingly perfect crafting. Touching the right spot is our job.

Actually it happened on the move to collect information for money making case study blog, here came the night of elitness of progress and following was the complete blackout, the reason nothing but the charm of www dives. The overdose of information struck so strongly that had to choose whether to change completely or to move on with the same.
Finally came this post and the conclusion to Move upfront on the hunt to attain the perfection in a segment, but at the same time keep up with the bases of existence.
Here the perfection refers to the blog dynamics and bases of existence are the regular posts.
But its not just limited to Blog only, is it?

Our first cent from google adsense - small case study

Here is how we made the breakthrough:
The first cent for efforts is very significant. It was not easy to get one, forget of making huge money.

It took 576 hours of thought promotion to get one, wherein we started with a hope of making a huge lot of money in some time. Here 576 looks big figure but read it included with hours spent in sleeping,households,professional job, outings and all in 24 days. [Ref: Maths says 24*24 gives 576.] Not that bad to set the stage with economical spendings.

The feeling of the first cent is enormously enriching. The real money not in this picture but its a high value pay cheque for the expectations involved.

More you are attached to your adsense business more number of sleeplessness hours you will on the breakthrough night.

First reaction is to just find out what really worked, which page made it through and attached is a deep devoted study session on the definations and meaning of so many time seen keywords like eCPM(effective cost per thousand impression),CTR(click through ratio) and so on... the volume of knowledge inflow is big enough to beat all earlier records.
I doubt if any other place, a cent has brought in so much value.

This is followed by a quick integration of site with the google analytics account, after all now we need process lot of more information to smoothly navigate our recently launched rocket.

Share your story (we call it case study) with us, let the party be ON.

Google content search rocks "Results of initial submission to search engine "

After submitting my blog to different search engines I was too curious to know where my blog existing on top of that i went to google's blog search and pour in some keywords.

Guess what?? No No nothing like super out of box claims of success, in fact I had to refine keywords to suite to my content and then too had to crawl through result pages, but point here was the post that got the first visibility was something away from the keywords.

Generally my posts are about the different ways to make money online, so by putting keywords like money making, online even case study, i was expecting some money making practices related post to lead the others. But to my surprises, out of nowhere, the post that came first was "Act well in time if you are serious to make money ".

I made an attempt to figure out what was the difference between this post and other posts. One major point i felt was google's content search has gone to next level of content parsing. Essentially the content on the post was just a personal thought i wanted to share,where in some other posts major stress was on understanding the existing money making scenarios which somehow can be available of different sites dedicated to specific keywords.
Moreover it was the search for lesser famed keyword "case study" that was spotted in the post, as a point of more specific post.

There may be more than any number of factors that make one different from others but one thing to realise is Google content search rocks.

One more point that struck to me was i like posting in two ways one is directly editing in the blogger's edit window. Other is writing in MS Word and after correcting spelling and grammar(wherever easily possible) i put the complete draft in one go to the blogger's edit window. Now though i am not sure but feel that the first way of writing in the blogger's edit window is more loved by the Google.Somehow on this i'll do some more research and then we'll discuss it again.


Experiences keeps us on the move, don't forget to share your thoughts and experiences.
Take Care!!

Making Money by Writing Reviews Online

This is relatively more serious business then what its first look seems to convey.

Science is simple: Advertisers pay to highlight their products by any means and one of best way is to have more and more reviews of the product and making the review available to the users.

How does this work? The program works in two popular ways:
1. You write the product review on the site of the payer and you get money for your contribution.

In this you'll be contributing the content of the site of the client; this is recommended in case you don't have a blog/site with good traffic.

2. You write review on your own blog/website and the payer pays for putting up the post.

If you have a blog/site you qualify for this. Here your readers will see the review you write and the product owner will pay you for increasing the visibility of the product.
Generally the product, website you'll get to review will be related to the theme of your blog.
This works well as visitors of your blog have an inclination toward your theme and product on similar theme will be a welcome. Besides the advertisers also gets a visitor views of related context.

How much I get paid? Here the amount of money paid for review varies with the popularity of the blog, naturally higher the popularity higher is the paid amount.

How do I get paid? There are number of ways that varies from site to site some pay via paypal some issue pay Cheques and so on.

Where to find the assignments? That's the easiest part of the game. There are number of sites available on the internet which establishes co-ordination between the advertiser and the bloggers. Choose the one that suits you best. Actually the names of sites are not included in the post to avoid a sense of undue recommendation.

Why will sites co-ordinate? These sites are in some way paid for arranging referral to advertiser’s site.
It’s all money mobilized system everyone is paid for due contribution.

Good part is the initial investment of time and efforts is less as compared to other systems. Try it, if suits well go on with an extended smile, if doesn't suits, anytime you can drop the idea. In both cases don't forget to let us know.
Good Luck!!

[Out of box one]For those who are still looking to have good online presence for blogs and are determined to make money from the blog in time to come, this is an opportunity to get the review drive visibility to your blog as well, though the amount paid will be less but if the content suits to your blog you can look forward to take it as content addition practice.

[Out of box two]If you are a looking for very serious business you can pick up a number of assignments and start a dedicated blog to give reviews about various products that you have good hands on touch. Though it’s lucrative at the same time demands high focus and continuous efforts to start from the scratch.

Making Money by selling virtual products

Business sense in the social networking sites once again got in limelight when Paypal and Facebook joined hands for making real money by selling virtual products.

The virtual products are nothing but the some graphical items that can be bought by spending virtual money and sent to friends.

Though from user point of view no money is involved, there is a margin that advertiser is willing to pay for the free products to carry their labels. Needless to say that there's long queue of advertisers waiting to pay for the arranging glance of their products by the users.

The game becomes more interesting when the no of user base is in millions and multiple of that is the number of virtual products.

So next time you happen to gift a virtual product don't miss the importance of your contribution to the business of real advertising.

It’s the era of www most precious entity is idea, no one knows what can happen next. Concepts are numerous and of them which gets materialize write history.

Bloggers make money but how many ?

With the evolution of making money via blogs, a huge pool of internet users jumped into blogging as a business.

Flags were down and the race started, due to initial hic ups some left the game, critics think they could not keep up with the pace and some support their decision of timely decision, now of the left ones who started from green pastures and pushed hard through the rough road got some aroma of money, of them the countable elite ones destined to be a step ahead could actually make it to the elite fruit of significant money.

It is interesting/important/hearting to know that only 2% of bloggers make real money and a giant 98% either don't care or are not yet in the right queue, somewhere in the cloud of yet to come.

Here some bloggers who blog for as a hobby are secluded ones, for them the pinch of not getting through is not that hard, because it was not their prime motive, besides the encouragement from blogging is sufficient motivation.

But the rest who got into blogging as a serious business faced or are facing a struggling time, with the disappointment of seeing the successive efforts not reaping the due money.

The nature of the money making ecosystem is demanding and we can never be sure to what extend it needs to be irrigated.

There have been numerous claims and researches, no doubt they have acted as building blocks of the system, but then compiling all factors and putting into a single thread is still a big challenge.

A master piece research that fits well for all bloggers is still awaited. If you have an edge in some sense it’ll be nice to hear from you, the inputs and experiences will help.

In case you are starting make a dedicated plan, if you are one the way strengthen your toolkit.

Getting adds with proper context form Adsense with with selection of right keywords.

Its very important to get adds of right context from Adsense for you blog, user looking for Lottery tips will for sure find it difficult to go for adds on web hosting.
So to keep money flowing flowing form the Adsense its very important to have contextual adds on site.

Now the only way to have adds from Adsense is by keeping the keywords of the site intact.The keywords that relate to each other will get a contextual adds but the keywords in contrast will dilute the context.

Now for a blog on work from home jobs should have key words that relate to the context like part time jobs, jobs for geeks, make money from home and so on, on the contrary some synonyms like livelihood on your fingertips dilute the context.(sounds funny, nobody will go that creative but the idea is to avoid the the deviation in the context that selection of words can bring in).

Its not that the content of the site is to be changed to keywords, that will kill the content of site for contextual adds. Idea is to use synonyms that relate to the context and are simple enough to be tracked by keyword tracking system of Adsense.

Another big advantage is that the same keywords help us to get the contextual traffic from the search engines. So their is dual advantage. Keeping small things in mind helps to reap big benefits.
Let us know if you find some more tips, keep moving,
Good Luck!!

Act well in time if you are serious to make money

There are times when you see the ideas you have could have fetch you benefits had they been applied on right time.

The right time has so many dependencies, though its not always advisable to jump into water without proper safety precautions, the right time need to be established but some homework should be started well in time.

Money if you see is nothing but the resource provided for timely effort. May it be the value for products you create or be it be money paid for providing some online service. There are case studies stating the success of those who have acted in right time and taken an extra lead in their businesses.

Often we are not really serious to make money and just because it seems good to have some extra money flowing we opt to be a part of money making club, but in a world where the water is not coming for free how can we expect money to flow that freely.Seriousness and timely action is must.

Its not like its too difficult, just know when so many have already done it that means its possible, but not all have done it, so the thirst have to be little stronger to stay with the former. We have to act fast on plans and figure out what works and what doesn't, staying long time in doubt is not advisable.

Just figure out the areas you are looking to get hands on, make a log of your experiences figure out what works and uproot what doesn't and enjoy the shower of acting at right time.
Share you success with us too.
Good Luck!!

Money Making Basic Discussions-1

Today anything and everything is available on our fingertips, all we need to do is to assemble the blocks to form a business model that works well. Over the period we'll interact with the people with diverse skill set some may be learners, share the thoughts and knowledge with them; some may be established leaders, being open to gain ideas and vision helps. Seems like lot of 'Gyan'.
Few old saying still works well "Everything that glitters is not gold". Also "You never know which card turn up to be the Ace of Spade". Right balance is the key. Evaluation of scenarios in the initial stages itself, gives a early take off in a right direction with a vision to make constructive moves.
There are so many ways to make money and best are the ones which help others also to make money.If we take a close look at the successful business models the common component we find is that beside themselves they have made their associates to make money. With a win win situation created a positive synergy is generated which has a significant contribution in the success of such businesses.
Good Luck for the time to come, do well, make a lot of money, spread positivity and share your success.
