Making money online is one of the difficult tasks that a blogger who wishes to monetize blog . It is extremely important to understand first before putting it into practice. Practice makes perfect. I agree on it.

For example making money by Google Adsense is not a matter of mere placing the code on your blog’s template. It should be carefully studied and there are things to consider to hit the target.

Paid review is one way to make money online. There are a lot of opportunities available everywhere. I will discuss each in the next topic on this blog.

Affiliate Marketing is one of the best way to make money online. Some experts would choose Affiliate Marketing instead of Adsense. Would you agree?

Anyway, bloggers who are making money online have their own means to make money. If you have any opinion, suggestion or anything you want to share regarding this topic, please leave your comments below.

I need a portable laptop. I blog and always on the go. What would you recommend?

One of the important tools that a blogger must have is - a notebook. This is very essential especially for a blogger on the road.

For bloggers always on the move, i would recommend the Asus Eee 4G-Galaxy 7″ PC Mobile Internet Device. The only problem is you’ll need to get a decent-sized USB flash drive or an external USB hard disk to fully exploit its use, but that is just a very cheap price to pay for one of the world’s coolest notebook.

Asus Eee is a perfect portable blogging gadget. I know that open-source operating system savvy like Linux have been calling for a small, cheap alternative for blogging on the road.

The answer has finally come in the form of the Asus EeePC 701. A portable and tough gadget on the road.

I would like to have one soon. How about you?

In my previous post about blogging, i’ve stated few tips on how to start your own blog. I would like to reiterate this topic because of few requests from some readers who are not into blogging. One thing to remember, blogging is not a way to alleviate poverty. Bloggers who make bread and butter from blogging takes a lot of time and patience to achieve it.

In the Philippines, there are bloggers who successfully made money from blogging. If you are aiming more in blogosphere, you don’t need to be a superstar to achieve the way you wanted to.

Let’s go back again to basics. There are free blogging platfroms you can choose from like Wordpress and Blogspot.

As a whole, Blogspot.com gained much interest from novice bloggers while Wordpress.com too because of its user friendly platform.

I believe that majority of the online community readers are lurkers, i mean they just pass and go, read without leaving a comment. Let’s say 99% belong to the lurkers and 1% are best contributers.

The following are just an observation to get more comments on your post.

1. Like me, i don’t usually read long post unless with substance. In writing your post, make it brief and short. The subject should be clear and avoid flowery words. In reality, there’s nothing wrong in writing long post, but be creative when doing one.

2. Be generous to your readers. Writing all you know in a post is definitely an obvious task of a blogger, but setting aside some of the issues that can be tackled in a comment section is better. If you feel like an expert or let’s say you’re really an expert, do not forget that some of your readers are experts too.

3. Some readers are not familiar with blogs and do not know how to use the comment section. If i were you, inviting comments are very useful.

4. Do not leave your post ends up with nothing. Try leaving questions before and after your post. Setting your readers mind is an effective tool to leave a comment after reading your post.

5. Answer or interact with their comments. I notice that some bloggers leave comments hanging. If you’re in their shoes, how would you feel? Interaction with your readers is an important task of a blogger. If they leave a question, answer them back. If they leave a comment, praise them by saying thank you or that’s a good comment. Remember your answer/interaction makes them feel valuable to you.

6. Lastly, some blogs require you to register before leaving a comment. I seldom do even the topic deserves a comment. Some people like me are lazy in doing that stuff. Some people sets boundaries. Some people do not want their personal information be published. If i were you, make your comment box simple and easy to use.
