Blogs of Value
This page is all about blogs I regularly read, why I think they are of value, and why I suggest you read them too. From time to time I will update this list … it’s by no means all the blogs I regularly read, but a selection of ones I think you will find of particular value.
Caroline Middlebrook — Making money online, or trying to!
In September 2007 I quit my day job in order to follow my dreams of becoming an Internet entrepreneur. This blog is my record of that journey. My aim is to learn how to make a living online and transfer that knowledge to others through this blog.
Among Caroline’s claims to fame is an excellent free ebook on making money using niche sites built with WordPress. Recommended.
Gateway Blogging — A New Way to do Business Blogs by an author I highly recommend, Michael Martine. Michael is much more adept and business oriented than many bloggers in the make money online field. He knows the technical details but he won’t bog down my seniors and retiree readers by overloading you with them. If you want to know something about empowering your retirement lifestyle by making money online, this is a good resource … and you won’t be having to wade through a sales pitch on every page. Recommended.
Eric Giguere Discusses Anything Related To AdSense — The Unofficial AdSense blog
MEMWG is Eric Giguere’s unofficial and long-running blog about Google’s AdSense program. He also covers contextual advertising and related topics.
Eric is the author of two books about AdSense:
- Uncommon AdSense, published in 2007, is for experienced webmasters and bloggers looking for expert advice on maximizing their AdSense income, while
- Make Easy Money with Google: Using the AdSense Advertising Program, published in 2005 by Peachpit Press (with the distinction of being the first printed book dealing exclusively with AdSense), is geared towards newcomers who want to understand how websites work and how to monetize them via AdSense.
NicheGeek.Com Showing you what Others Overlook
Dmitri Davydov loves niches. I first got interested in AdSense niches couple years ago, when I accidentally found out that you can make either $0.02 or $2.42 per click. The difference? Topic of your article….there is a marketing section at this website, where you can find various tricks that can quickly double or quadruple your revenue. In addition to that, you are free to contribute your own tips, ideas and articles to NicheGeek.Com.
Remarkablogger.com — Remarkable Blog Consulting and Coaching
I haven’t been reading Michael for as long as some other bloggers I enjoy, but I feel that is certainly my loss. Michael knows how to write well. he also is great on staying on his topic and speaks from actual experience in the business world … both on line and off.
Michael sells his services as a consultant and, at times, other things, but he’s a great man to emulate as far as making sure you do not overload your potential customers/clients with sales propaganda. Recommended.
