When i first started blogging the whole idea was to help others understand a bit more about me and how i make money online.  I really did not know much about the whole concept of blogging as an online tool or how it can benefit any business. It was not until after a few posts i realised it really is not that simple to just say what blogging is or to explain it to any newbies but i will do my best in this post.

First of all i have been blogging for over 2 years now and have been running Internet businesses for over 4. In that time i have developed as a writer and at the same time helped many other online web owners get started on there own venture.

Blogging is Pure Writing Expression

So let’s get to it, blogging in a nutshell to me is pure expression. If some one said to me blogging is not a writer i would have to disagree. At first blogging may be just blogging random topics but in time all bloggers go beyond that to writer status. This is when in a way turns from expression only to more of a part time income or part time task that one can use as a tool.

So am i writer you may ask..? Yes i am, call me a blogger if you wish because i write online but really there is no difference. In fact on this blog alone i have started to cross into the more than 700 posts range..

So for the question how can one explain blogging properly, i would say its anyone that dedicates themselves to writing well, as well as seeing it as a big enough element in there life to give it a naming title.. Blogger, Blogging, Writer.. Whichever one you want..?

Now that i have explained the fundamentals of what blogging is to me, i must state some of the many benefits one can use for a blog.. A way to make money online, a monetization tool, a traffic increaser for any online business and many more.. And the list goes on..  For all of you that are just new or a regular visitor to my blog feel free to subscribe to my free feed (above right, just add email). I have been making a living online now for over 4 years and so my blog is full of many helpful tips to help get any blog or website off the ground and started in the right direction..

One of the many successes people have online is the ability to make content move. It is one thing to have content sit and be read by those that find it, yet it is another to have others discussing it.. That’s where using viral techniques come in and i will discuss in this post..

First of let’s look at what Viral is online, it is a way in which content or information is spread around with little or no effort much on the publisher.. To have this happen to anyone there needs to be a number of factors at play.

Below are ways in which to increase the possibility of some of your content going and increasing your traffic tenfold.. If you do not fully believe in viral possibilities as yet online for increasing traffic, many successful online do it all the time. In fact some only get traffic from viral aspects off there site alone..

1. Controversy – Everyone loves talking about controversy, whether it is a post (page) or not..

2. Emotion – Everyone is really emotional creatures.. Emotion creates discussion..

3. Communications – Ways in which to spread that powerful information..

Controversy going Viral

What i mean by controversy, is it like gossip and what happens with gossip, it gets spread.. In a way it is like your opinion on a subject  which may cause some debate. The more controversy, the more chances another blogger or website owner may write about you or your opinion and include a valuable link to your website. This in turn creates back links and then the traffic begins..

I was asked once is negative controversy good or bad..? Like in any situation negative can have a negative effect, however a negative controversy online can have positive effect. Imagine ten bloggers writing about (a post) how much they think your blog post they disagree with.. All of which linking to you.. Then you comment back saying, i see your point and the many debates are created.. That’s ten possible links and more as the debate continues.. Top marketers know this trick and use it all the time.. As an example of this many top marketers will discuss there earnings, I earn a thousand from this and this and this and look at how many i referred and look how easy it is to make this.. Then what happens… People write about it on there blogs.. Maybe they do earn that much or maybe they do not, either way each  link helps them..

This is what is referred to as controversy linking.. “This blogger earns this much, check out his monthly payment page here..”

This creates traffic (links), controversy and money when people write about your content.. Even if the blogger that writes there opinion of them not earning that much it still creates traffic for them and hey presto..

Emotion going Viral

Emotion is a powerful element. If you can touch someones heart or open someones eyes to something that pulls a heart string it can have massive effects other than just creating a more enthusiastic audience. People tend to help those that effect there heart or emotions without even thinking. In a way this is like finding the emotion you can bring forth in to any page and post and putting yourself out there to how you feel in a way..

A bit of emotion goes a long way, so use it..

Communications going Viral

Communications is the element of making a post or a page or content easy to share. It is one thing to have great content people want to share, however it is another to make sure it is easy to share. Add some social network buttons or ways in which people can easily discuss before a persons inspiration of sharing is distracted.. This is a very important element to any blog, as well as always make it very easy for people to subscribe to your blog as well.. Keep the discussion of your content moving..

So Can You Go Viral with your Content..?

No matter how we look at it viral aspects of creating content is available to everyone. It is all about fine tuning your content, making it as good as it can be, creating emotion, creating controversy, making it easy to share and then of course keeping at it.. Always look at your audience like how you would like to be read yourself..

This is a follow up post to my last post on the Infolinks Publisher program Vs the earnings of Google AdSense. While many have mixed perspectives, I still find personally Infolinks pays a little bit more than the AdSense program. Overall I believe it is because of the CTR which is a lot higher than AdSense.

Above I have added some much asked (recent) Infolinks Payment Proofs to show they pay and encourage more to try.. If you have not tried Infolinks, now may be the time.. To sign up or for more info click here.

Common Infolinks Questions and Answers

1. Can you use Infolinks with AdSense? Yes they can be used with AdSense..

2. Do you need a minimum amount of traffic to use them? No, any traffic level is fine however high content sites are recommended. More traffic the more earnings..

3. Do they pay via PayPal? Yes, any earnings over $100 is paid out as seen above. Can take up to two months once threshold is reached.

4.  Are the Infolinks links Customizable? They have two forms of links, the double line and single line. Each of which you can choose the colour.

5. Are Infolinks easy to set up? They are so easy to implement on a site, just sign up and then add the code to your footer or install the wordpress plugin.. Follow the steps and it will be set in minutes..

6. Can Infolinks be Optimised? If you want better targeting, Infolinks can look at your site and tailor better keyword targeting allowing more conversion and hence more earnings. I find the targeting is good without it, but I will let you decide there.

7.  How do you earn with Infolinks? The way one earns with infolinks is when people click on the in text links. Each link that is clicked is a large portion of what the advertiser pays per click. In a way very similar to AdSense or Bidvertiser publisher networks.
