How your blog can make money

There's a strong possibility you have mixed thoughts about using your blog to make money, if you think it may be immoral, unethical or even uncool or anything like that then the answer is simply don't commercialise it.

If the whole idea of monetizing your blog sits OK with you then have a go on the other hand if you think it's evil, then that's fine too.

But you must seriously make up your mind before you start, because making money in this way is difficult enough without second thoughts kicking in and making your attempt half-hearted.

You should feel good about earning income from your blog there really is nothing wrong with having an urge to succeed.

If your blog has real, genuine value, then you fully deserve to make some money from it.

But don't be shy about selling this thing when you put ads on there you have to really put those ads up there, it has to be the same if you're putting in requests for donations, do not be shy.

There's always a few people who will complain when you commercialise a free site, they always do.

Is it possible to make a proper income online? Without a doubt. It will take longer if you have a day job but the opportunities exist.

The ins and outs of Niche Devil

In the development teams' own words it is for, "Making cash by feeding the Google Monster it's favourite food without hardly lifting a finger" A snappy, if overlong statement, but it's not about the tag line, it's whether or not it's worth the money?

The initial setup goes something like this, firstly you purchase MANY domains, hosting and Niche Devil, then onto your hosting account you install Niche Devil and run the script. Then insert your keywords and affiliate links for your chosen store and hey presto, Niche Devil spits out a site with content and products and all in a breathtaking 36 seconds! Sounds awesome.

Now all you need is a few spend-happy customers, and Niche Devil can even promise that with the aid of pinging but let's take a step back and look at what makes the whole thing tick.

Your server/hosting account has to reach certain minimum requirements before uploading the script via ftp. Remember the old BANS stores? Well this is very much in the same vein and look what happened to them.

The Niche Devil is talking up it's "ever refreshing" content, pulling/scraping content from the Internet that relate to your chosen keywords, it looks good and works well but the legality of it as far as copyright is concerned is another matter.

Niche Devil is promoting itself as with statements such as, "Hurry up, only available for 14 days" which never sounds good, whoever says it.

They have restricted the time it is available, why? Is it to make you purchase now, or do they what will happen when our experience of the product becomes a reality and why would you even contemplate selling a product that earns £££ and not just use it yourself.
