Submit Your Blog to 828 Directories Using Directory Maximizer.
I was recently searching for a good company that would submit my blog to directories for me. I found Directory Maximizer on Daily Blog Tips from an ad banner on their sidebar. So I thought I would give them a try. It worked out great. Within 5 days my site was submitted to many directories manually. I got emails from a lot of them to let me know it was submitted and to activate if necessary.
Directory Maximizer only submits to directories that don’t require a reciprocal link. I wasn’t sure if the site was legit so I only paid $10 bucks to submit to 70 directories. Now that I know they are legit I will probably pay to submit to them all very soon. There are a lot of other companies out there like this but it is hard to know who t trust. This company does a great job in my opinion. They even credited me a small refund because they could not submit my blog to 3 of the 70 because of different reasons. Some directories become paid ones, they now require a reciprocal link, etc.
So if you want to get a nice traffic boost and a lot of backlinks to your blog for a better search engine ranking then this is a great company to try out.

How to Start a Blog to Make Online Revenue Part 4: Monetization of Your Blog
In the previous post I talked about creating traffic to your blog. Traffic is a good thing. It is the life blood of your blog. In order to make money off of the traffic you will need to use some monetizing techniques. There are a variety of things you can use out there to make money. One of the most common and most easiest ways is to use Google Adsense.
Advertising
Setup an account with Google adsense and you can start creating ad units of all types and variety to display on your blog. Be sure to create channels for the diffferent adsense units you create so you can see which ads are being clicked on and which ones are not. This is the way you can fine tune your ad units for maximum revenue. Remember you can only have up to 3 different ads for content units on 1 page at a time. Never click on your own ads either.
Google Adsense is pay per click advertising. This means that all people have to do is click on the ads and you will get paid. There are other forms of advertising such as pay per impression but we don’t need to go into that here because you have a new blog and you don’t get much page impressions yet. Focus on making the payperclick work first.
Affiliate Programs
Affiliate programs are another easy way to earn money from new blogs. You simply sign up for a program and they will provide you with links to products and services. You place these links in posts and on your blog and promote them. If someone clicks on the links through your site and purchases the product or service then you get a commision on the sale. Here is a list of some of the programs I use.
You should try signing up with multiple affiliates and try out different products, etc. until you find what fits best for your blog. Obviously it is necessary to choose products and services that fit what your blog is all about.
Don’t be afraid to experiment. It is the best way to learn in my opinion. In order to eventually become a true expert you will need know what you are talking about and to do that you must dive in and try things. Hands on training. Feel free to contact me anytime. I am more than happy to help you with any questions you may have.
This Blog is Stupid and I Want to Quit!
As a new blogger there is no telling how many times you are going to feel like quitting. This is especially true if you don’t have a solid theme that is easy to use. I am sure you heard it before from other blogs, that blogging is hard and frustrating. It is nice to find a way out of this dilemma. I came up with a few suggestions that you can try to help get back into the swing of things.
Take a Break
One of the simplest ways to calm down is just to simply take a break. You know you have the determination to tackle any problem but you are just too frustrated to deal with it right now. Take the day off. Why not? Or at least an hour or something. Trust me, you will feel better.
Watch a Funny Movie
You could watch Patch Adams, Waiting, Wedding Crashers, Something about Marie, Liar Liar and American Pie. All of these movies are funny over and over again.
Check out this list of funny movies you can buy right now from Amazon.
Have Sex
This would probably be the most beneficial thing you could do for yourself.. Of course it is not always easy to have sex whenever you want to. Especially for guys. Regardless, if you can do it I highly recommend you do and you will see just how relaxed you will be afterward.
Move on to Something Easier
If you are like me and run multiple blogs and have endless amounts of tasks to complete then you could always move on to something else instead. Do something you know you can complete right now easily and that will take you away from the frustrating task for awhile. The cool thing is that you won’t be wasting your time away you will actually be completing another task and the time won’t be wasted!
Why You Shouldn’t Quit
Blogging is one thing that takes time, perseverance and determination. By never giving up you are going to dramatically increase your chances of succeeding. Creating interesting content, tweaking your blog for SEO, setting up and managing all of those other websites and accounts takes lots of time but will all work if you keep at it long enough.
