Blogging is one of the easiest ways to generate traffic, because it helps organizing a community around your ideas. If you write for a specific niche, like we do here on making money on the web, you can have pretty impressive results.

Some people would like to write blogs, but they don’t know how to generate ideas for blog posts. You need to maintain a steady pace and create articles of interest for your readership.

The good news is that there are several techniques for generating many ideas for blog posts. I will show you one of the main methods I use to create posts: I call this method Draft and Revise.

The Draft and Revise Method

Most people write drafts of posts before creating their content (if you don’t do this, you should). But what I am referring to with the “draft and revise” strategy is to use the great drafting feature available in WordPress to help you to generate ideas.

Basically, what I do is this: when creating a new post I think of a few new ideas, and then quickly write then to the QuickPress draft area of the WordPress dashboard. In this way, I write several new topics as I have fresh ideas on my mind.

(By the way, you don’t need to have a WordPress blog to use this method; you can also do this on a blogger blog, if you want, by leaving the post just as a draft.)

Using the Drafts: the Revise Phase

The next phase, after I write several quick-and-dirty posts in this way, is to revise them to get something publishable. I basically go back and pick the ones that I am interested enough to write a full post, and do the editing until a post is complete.

The main idea behind this method is that, by separating idea generation from revision, you can increase your productivity without the pain associated with creating new posts from nothing.

What about you, what are your preferred methods for creating new blog posts?

Zero Friction Marketing is a new method for making money online. As you know, there are thousands of ways to make money on the web. As the web evolves, you also need to learn new methods to capture this money, or you may left behind.

This is why Saj P and Philip Mansour decided to launch the zero friction marketing package. They are putting together the best of what they have been doing in terms of affiliate marketing using CPA and less well known pay per click networks.

The result is a ground breaking course that will be of value not only for someone starting on Internet Marketing, but even to people with large experience in other areas of IM.

These two guys (Saj P and Philip Mansour) have been making so much money from the web that I believe any information they can share with us is of great help. Many people stumble to find ways to make money online, when in fact it is easy once you understand the proper ways to do so.

The advantage of CPA (cost per action) is that you don’t need to have your visitors buying anything. They just need to take some action, such as voting on a survey, or sending an email address. It is easy way to make money, because you don’t require people to take the credit card from the wallet and make a purchase. You make money anyway.

I recommend you to go ahead and take a look at zero friction marketing. I am sure you will make lots of money with all the information available in this course.

Today I did a small update on the blog on moneum.com. First, I decided again to put the top stories on the front page, to generate more updates on the site. Of course, you still can sign up for our newsletter and get a free eBook here.

Introducing a List of Top Commentators

A nice feature that I found as a plugin for wp is a list of top commentators. This feature seems interesting to me because it helps not only myself, but my readers too.

The idea is the following: there is a list of commentators on the right side of the page. If you leave a comment with a URL for your web site, you will be in a contest for the top five commentators in the web site.

Each month, the commentators with the most comments will be sorted out by the plug in, and their web sites URL will appear at the left box for the whole month. It is free publicity for you and it will potentially generate lots of comments for our web site.

So, starting now, let me know what you think of this new feature. If you have questions about how to make money on the web, feel free to send them too.

Many people believe that making money depends on having access to resources or to more money.
However, anyone that makes money knows that the source of wealth is in your mind. Here is a technique that can improve your ability instantaneously.

The Reasoning Avoidance Technique

The basic idea of this technique to make money is to avoid spending too much time thinking. This doesn’t mean that you should not think carefully what you are doing, but once you decide, forget about it, and do the work without thinking. Many decisions are bad because:

• involve passion, not reality;
• involve the risk of being deluded by bad information or by preconceptions;
• you can make mistakes.

Avoiding thinking too much, and decide things quickly, based on your purpose. Prefer to use techniques that can help you make money automatically. Examples are:

• Use automatic money transfers for savings. Don’t try to make decisions every month.
• Devise trading algorithms, or use software to determine trading signals — this helps removing the emotion from you buying and selling decisions;
• Use automatic software to do your online marketing, whenever possible. This helps removing your personal efforts from the system.

Google Ambush is a package that has been recently released to make life easier for people working on online marketing.

With Google Ambush, there are a set of tools for doing the steps of a successful online campaign:

• Finding products that have a good demand
• Finding PPC keywords on Google and Ask.com that can be used to sell the product you found on the first step
• Creating a page to sell the product (or products) you selected previously.

With these tools, you can have a much better chance of making money online. You will find the interface to easy to understand and fun to use.
I highly recommend Google Ambush to people interested in making money online.
