To Earn Extreme Wealth -- Offer Extreme Value
If you are looking to make some extreme money, it's worthwhile to keep in mind 1) who is the audience, 2) what do they want, 3) what do you have to offer.
How much easier could it be? You don't have time or knowledge for these questions now? The answer is: not very.
Here are some ideas of things that you can do with this blog post in order to benefit off people looking for knowledgable information on making money:
- Charge people to read the introduction (think $1-$5 a piece).
- Create an email course related to earning extreme wealth and let readers pay monthly.
- Create a free blog that provides extreme value and earns nothing.
- Generate an email list of readers and create a free blog about a different topic for them to read.
- Sell your subscribers the right to read your paid blog for $5 or $10 (probably a small percentage).
- Offer an ebook for sale that has a lot of hyperlinks to the knowledge you have gained from your experience in earning extreme wealth.
... and so on.
Sure, it's not as easy as just putting up something on your website. There are legalities, site maintenance, etc. It may require some research and learning.
- The important thing to keep in mind is that it doesn't have to be hard.
- By now you should see a pattern forming. You can apply these ideas to your business or career, too!
- Having your own website makes you more credible, further differentiates your services from competitors', and gets you clients who are ready to buy . Example: http://investmore.biz/blog/making-money-blogging/ has over 700 more words than this blog post (which means it's better) and links to a bunch of places where you can learn more (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5hnnZVxJg0 ).
- Having great content on your site, a blog, or mailing list is the difference between getting no visitors, visitors that don't buy, visitors who only stay for a few seconds, and visitors who stay on your site for hours reading your content. Readers will call you when they have questions about what you offer because they already trust you. You can then use their questions to improve the quality of the information or create new products.
- Make money from a blog by selling advertising space to relevant businesses and companies so that they can get in front of your readers. This is similar to #5 above, but different in that you get paid more and are not necessarily doing the work.
- Have an ebook on sale for $10. Make it easy to buy with one click from your blog or website. This is a great way to gain subscribers and build trust with people who want to know more about what you have to offer.
- Get featured in a prominent place on sites that your target audience reads. Example: http://investmore.biz/blog/making-money-blogging/ is featured on the sidebar of the popular personal finance blog http://www.getrichslowly.org .
- Try getting a book deal (e.g. http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/make-money-ebook/ ). The key is to make something that people will want and be willing to buy, while keeping it relevant and original to the topic of earning extreme wealth.
- Donate books or give away free things to encourage people to read your blog, email, etc. You can even ask them if they would like a free copy of the book or something in exchange for taking the time to give you their email address or visiting your site (thanks Reddit users: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfimprovement/comments/2o6okc and http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2202213/Free-ebook-will-set-you-rich--How-make-money-blogging.html ).
What should an extreme wealth blog look like?
Here are some ideas of what your blog should look like:
"A small amount of time, a large amount of value." -- Blogger's Guide to Blogging . This is one reason why I believe you shouldn't make it too long or cover any other topic than making money. Nobody buys anything else.
"It should be unique, informative, and fun." -- Blogger's Guide to Blogging .
"It should not be overtly advertising a service or product." -- Blogger's Guide to Blogging .
"The blog is all about making money…" -- http://www.yesyoucanblog.com/blog-ideas . Also see: http://www.makemoneyblogging.com/making-money-bloggers-guide/ .
"Instructions in plain, easy to understand and not (too) technical language." -- How to Make Your Money Blog Irresistible by Paul Jarvis (free PDF).
- Provide value for free on your blog. Then, when you have a chance to sell more, make sure you do it in a way that is compelling.
- Your blog should be 200+ words long.
- Cover topics that your target audience will care about (e.g. how to invest their money or how to find wonderful businesses). Include links to source material where appropriate and please link back if any of your ideas are inspired by something you learn on another site.
- If you have a question about making money, please leave it in the comment section so that the community can benefit from the best ideas being voted up (e.g., use http://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets for investing questions) or just leave a note there.
- You can put a link to your blog in your signature or email signature. I also recommend putting it at the top of every mail that you send out.
- If you want to be extra nice, add what you are doing in the domain name (i.e., http://investmore.biz).
- You can make a popular post by writing something great and then cross posting it on Reddit (e.g., http://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets ).
- You can use your content to get more subscribers on lists that you are creating. Go to http://www.mailchimp.com/ and create a list for free there and then promote it on your blog.
- You can sell advertising space (e.g., http://www.blogads.com/ ) or include a link to the site when you send out a newsletter or email about an event or how something is going in your business (e.g., http://connectsalesforce.com for salesforce).
- Use your blog as an opportunity to announce new products and services that you are working on (e.g., https://www.linkedin .
Conclusion
You have the power to create a blog that will make you money. It's not a secret. Just think about it for a few minutes and I bet you come up with more ideas than you thought possible. In order to do so, use these ideas as your guide and don't get caught up in trying to make everything perfect or difficult. Just start writing and see what happens!
