Niche Blogging Part 2 – 2 Personally Used Formulas for Explosive Niche Blog Profits

Posted by Latoya Hackett on May 29, 2010 in Affiliate Marketing, Blogging | 3 comments

The reason that I have 2 separate formulas is because I have found that it is more profitable when you don’t include affiliate products and ppc ads on the same blog. You either do one or the other. So for maximum profits I might do 5 niche blogs with ppc ads and another 5 blogs with affiliate product promotions.

So as you can see there is a method to my madness LOL.

FORMULA # 1- Profiting From PPC Ads (you can use any ad network you want)

Step 1 – Placing ads on your front page. You have to have ads on your homepage because you are going to get a lot of blog readers that will just pass by without clicking on your post titles. And in order to catch their eyes you want to place these ads at the top of your blog, which won’t require your readers to scroll down to find them.

Step 2 – Place a section of ads after your post’s title, but before your content. The reason for this is because no matter how hard a reader may try they can’t just skip over reading ads that are placed here. Think about it – their eyes have to move from the title to the content, so their eyes are going to hit what is between. Now this may be hard to do if you don’t have WordPress blog because of how other blog services are set up. But if you do use a self-hosted WordPress blog then download the Post Layout plugin and you do this very easy.

Step 3 – Place a section of ads at the end of your posts after your content, but before your comments. Once again, a person’s eye will more than likely not be able to skip this section, especially if it is a good post that is getting comments. People love to look at all the things that are being said about content in a post and the eye can’t skip from the content to the comments without seeing the ads.

Now I can’t guarantee that this formula will work for you, but it has increase my click thru rate on every single niche blog that I use to earn with PPC advertising.

FORMULA #2 – Profiting From Affiliate Commissions

Step 1 – Select a good affiliate product that you want to promote. There are millions of ways that you can select affiliate products to promote. I would suggest using CB-Analytics in order to research good Clickbank products to promote. But keep in mind you can do it however you want.

Step 2 – Create a blog around the affiliate product. A lot of people will create a niche blog packed with information and then add an affiliate product to try to earn some affiliate commissions. For me it works the opposite way around. What I do is find an affiliate product and then create the blog around the product. This way you are leading your readers to the purchase of the main product that you are promoting.

Step 3 – Creating your blog posts. Now this is where I get a little creative. Now personally, I like to try out the products before I promote them because that is my key to increasing my commissions. From here I find tons of creative uses for the affiliate products outside of the ideas that the ideas that the product’s sales copy offers, and maximize the benefits and the features of the product.  For example, let’s say you are promoting an Article Rewriting software. More than likely the sales page for that software is just going to offer basic information on rewriting basic articles. But what if you could show your readers or customers how they can use the software to rewrite Twitter tweets, create scripts for YouTube videos, create various info products, etc?

Step #4 – Creating your incentive. Now using a squeeze page is cool when trying to capture email addresses before sending a reader to an affiliate page, but I like to create incentives instead. What I will do is take the ideas that I came up with in the last step and create a small report explaining how to use one of the techniques that I came up with. And I will create another opt in form on the front page of the blog where I have a picture of the product placed. Customers will then fill out the form to get the free report before they make their purchase.

DO NOT include any ppc ads on this type of niche blog because it will distract your readers away from  your affiliate products, and the same thing will happen if you put affiliate products on a blog where you have ppc ads.

WAALAA! There goes the money in your pocket. Now if you create like 1-2 niche blogs per week doing this your profits will shoot through the roof. But you have to make sure that all information that you are providing is high quality.
