Automated blog

Today, I found on some blogs talking about making money online. There's so many interesting posts and many useful lesson coming to me. I've especially noticed at some posts concerned to the automated blog. It sounds interesting. You can create as many blogs as you like, with an automatic tool which will crawling some website or extract from some RSS feeds, and then it write automatically and immediately to your blog. You'll have a blog which is updated frequently with enormous contents and high quality articles without losing even a sweat. That's nice. For example, you created 50 blogs and then each month, each blogs give you 1$, it means that you'll have 50$ easily. Is it worth to try, right?
I'm still considering to do this or not. Any idea?

Build your own shop

Today, I tried to build an online shop by using a FREE tool, offered by Amazon, aStore. The first impression was that this tool is so cool, I realized that's quite easy to build a shop. You can have a look at my shop by follow the link on the top-left header (butanido's shop) or follow this link butanido's shop. It took me about 5 minutes to build this trivial store, that's amazing. Hehe, now I become a real boss, don't I?
Let's me explain about this type of ads campaign, the affiliate. It is similar to the situation of a corporation and their branches. We will act like an brand of Amazon. To become an affiliate of Amazon, simply, you just follow the instruction at the address of Amazon Affiliate. After the registration has been applied successfully, you become an affiliate, you'll have:

  • The right to put the advertise of Amazon's products on your site. Each time, your advertised product is bought by a visitter. You'll have some % on the price of that product. Fantastic, you lose nothing but a bit of free time to maintain this store.
  • The right to create an aStore. You can choose which products will be sold on your web site. aStore is very cool, it offers many customization ability so you'll have a fabulous shop as a consequence. So cool. You'll have to update your store frequently in order to be sure that you always sell the most active, the best seller products. And all of this is FREE. Wonderful Amazon.

Making money online ---> my definition

Today, one of my friend ask me about what I'm doing with this blog. I realized that I've never given a detail description about my works and how can I earn money from these kinds of work.
Firstly, I want to emphasize that we can earn money from the Internet by publishing some advertisements on our website. There are many type of Ads: like CPM (cost per thousand impression), o CPA (cost per action, its cost is depended on type of action that a "clicker" has done with their ads). I don't want to talk too much on technique here, we can discuss this later. Now we have a simple idea that's we can have money from ads on our website. So there is some questions needed to be answered.

1. Where can I get my Ads and how can I get paid with these Ads?

There some companies that provide advertise service, we can apply to become a publisher (the one who publish Ads on their own website) or an advertiser (the one who want to advertise about their product). As in one of my post, I've given a list of companies like this (ref by this link). But I propose that you should try first with Google Adsense and BidVertiser, they are easy to used and you can become familiar with a new way of ad.
To become a member of an ads campaign of a company, for example Google Adsense, you have to register with Google. You have to provide your website and your payee information detail. Every month you will receive a cheque from Google (if your revenue is greater than 100$, plz refer to Google Adsense for more details).
When you are already a member of Google Adsense (same for others), you will have the right to generate an Ads Code. There you can customize the preferences of your Ads Code, after that's you can paste this Ads Code to your website and waiting for money flow in to you pocket hehe.

2. What kind of website I should use to publish my Ads?

For most of Vietnamese bloggers, Yahoo 360 seems to be the most popular blog, but unfortunately Yahoo 360 doesn't support inserting Javascript code in their posts and the template customization of the blog isn't flexible. I propose (for Vietnamese blogger only) to use Blogger as their website. Blogger provide many advance tools to manage your blog and it allows javascript code so you can publish your ads easily. For example: when I edit an entry, I switch to HTML mode, and paste the script bellow at the end of the entry.

I'll saw my Ads at the end of my entry. That's quite easy to publish an Ads. But blogger has a limit cause in Vietnam, I don't understand why the ISP VDC doesn't allow access to this site. This site is available with other ISP like Viettel, FPT, SPT. It's a little inconvenient.
For some one want to have a professional site, he has to modify his template, and of course this template can be write in HTML and we can put Ads on this template easily. There are also many sites that provide template for Blogger and we can use it without knowledge of CSS or XML.

It's too late now. I'll talk about my strategies for Blogging and earn money in the next post. Every question is welcome!

Google Adsense

This is the first Ads network that I've tried and I've found that it's fantastic. Google Ads is an Ads Service which is based on CPM and it provides you Text ads and contextual advertising. Even I'm newbie, but I found that Google Ads is cool, and it going to give me money quite consistently.

The first thing you have to do is preparing the content of your website, this is quite important because Google has to review your website before they approve that you can post their ads on your website. Now Google Ads supports many languages like English, French, ...


Once, when you are accepted by Google, you have the right to put your ads in any website which support Javascript (hehheh, quite simple), but remember don't put them in porno, sexual,... sites. You will be risked of abandon your account.

Google Ads provides you three type of product, you can choose each or all of them to publish on your site:

  • AdSense for Content: Display ads that are targeted to your site's unique content.
  • AdSense for Search: Offer your users web search while earning revenue from ads relevant to their search terms.
  • Referrals: Earn more by referring users to useful products and services.
Every months, Google pays you by the end of month, if your revenue doesn't greater than 100$ it will rollover to the next month until your revenue is greater than 100$. Google pays you by check so remember to provide them exactly your name, and your address, he will send you by mail. Let's first try with Google Ads and good luk with lot of money.

Exhaustive advertisement

After create your blog, it's now time to start. The principle way to earn money online is advertisement. Google Ads is a famous and interesting one, it can be integrated easily with you blog. But in my mind, only Google Ads is not enough despite the fact that's it's also cool. I start searching on the Internet the key work "making money online" and it returns me an awesome result. On these sites, they tell me how to do and of course I found an exhaustive list of Online Ad network, it's about 130 networks. It was fantastic. I might try all of these networks, but not for now. I have to choose some of them for the start.



Primarily CPM Based Ad Networks

Primarily CPA/CPL Ad Networks

Primarily CPC AND/OR Text Based/Contextual Ad Networks

Shopping/Comparison Networks

“Non-Standard” Ad Networks (PopUps, Expandables, Pay Per Post, etc.)

Specific Demographic Ad Networks

NON-US Primarily CPM Based Ad Networks

NON-US Primarily CPC AND/OR Text Based/Contextual Ad Networks

NON-US Primarily CPA/CPL Ad Networks

Start from zero

In the beginning, everything seem to be ambiguous. You seem to be fusion in an enormous world of information. You don't know how to start, it's all to say that you have to identify your goal. You couldn't be successful without a clear and concrete goal. So remember to figure out your goal, what you want to achieve and when you have to complete this goal. It helps you to see clearly the way that you'll have to go with.

In my case, I'm a newbie in this domain, but I'm eager to discover what's waiting me after all of this. Firstly, I started to build my blog choose a topic for my blog. Hmm, it's quite difficult because actually, there are so many blogs on the Internet and also thousands of topic has been concerned. In my mind, at first I thought that I've to write something new, something special and it took me quite a long time to recognize that it's no need to find a new once. In the blog world, the most important thing is that we share our thinking, our opinion, our point of view and discuss with each other openly. So, choose what you like the most, you will have more and more motivation to talk about it.
