One of my associates blogged about how, "Giving is the Key to Financial Breakthrough." From my 15 years of Internet experience, I realized how easy it is to legitimately capitalize on your Blogs and create passive income. Not only would you create financial success for yourself but you would be creating a win-win situation and here's how.
Whatever you're blogging about you will need to comment on other Blogs that are similar to yours in rating and content. In other words, if your Blog is G-Rated, then of course, stick with other Blogs that have a similar theme. We're all blogging about different issues and subject matter but keep your comments in the same genre as your own blog.
Basically, you can comment on any blog you'd like to comment on, regardless of content. However, when it comes to giving and donating, or sowing your financial seeds, certainly you want to do so with Blogs that your Blog has something in common with. The biblical adage, "as you sow, so shall you reap," comes in to play each and every time we give. There is one caveat, and that is, your giving must come from the heart and not because you want to make a buck or two. This warning is a bit ambiguous because, of course we want to make money, but one must be careful of how the seeds are planted. Plant the seeds carefully and over time they will reap a nice harvest for you.
Establish or join a Yahoo Group, or create your own group via a Blog or Website. Invite others to join your group. There are a plethora of groups on Yahoo, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, MSN, and the list goes on. Almost daily we are bombarded with someone trying to get you to join this group or that group, so what to do?
Here's the key. If the group is selling something, anything, or allows others to peddle their wares, you don't want to join that particular group, nor should you allow others to sell from your group. Why? Because it takes away the "giving" aspect of the group; the group looses it's spiritual connection and falls into the marketing category. Not that there's anything wrong with this type of Blog or Group, but it takes on a Marketing/Financial theme and really puts it in the same category as millions of other Groups/Blogs in the Cyber World.
Advertising on your Blog, Website, or Group page is fine. Banners and contextual advertising sporadically and tastefully placed throughout your Blog is great because you're not forcing or coercing anyone to make a purchase. It's the advertising that you see on almost any website.
If you like an article you read from someone's Blog; if it's original, humorous, and/or informative, and they have a place to donate, feel free to do so. A buck here and there, maybe once or twice per month, will plant seeds that will surely come to harvest. That's a Universal Law as real as the Law of Gravity.
