So you have blog and not making money?
This week I have been asked 3 times just different questions regarding blog and making money.
I know many of you want to make money right away, which I am not saying its not possible. What I more frequently see ,blogger crying about, is that they only make 10c per week!!!! While others $200-$300-$500-$1000 and more!
Well you do something wrong. In couple of my posts I mention that there are certain rules to make money every day.
Here are 20 helpful tips for your blog to succeed better then It is now!
Big Blog Don’ts!!!!
1. Don’t post one content or article and think ok that’s it I nailed it!
2. Don’t cuss !@#$%%&$%!!
3. Don’t write about stuff you don’t know
4. Don’t copy and paste articles from other bloggers or steal content from other sites
5. Don’t talk to much about your self, talk in 3rd person unless you help other bloggers as I do 
6. Don’t use flashy buttons and advertisements
7. Don’t put a lot of advertisements (looks like spam site unless you own myspace?)
8. Don’t argue with your readers (”customer is always right” in this case reader!)
9. Don’t ask readers to give money or click/buy ads
10. Don’t LIE!
Big Blog Do’s!!!
1. Use easy templates/themes (colors, easy to read, navigational)
2. Optimize your blog ( use plugins like Ultimate Tag Warrior, All In One SEO Pack etc.)
3. Post at least once a day or 3 times a week!
4. Email your subscribers tell them about you and news or updates etc. (don’t spam)
5. Use Google Adsense if your blog is new if not try Kontera, TLA, AuctionAds
6. If you get time answer to every comment (don’t argue)
7. Advertise your blog on forums (signature etc but again don’t spam!)
8. Comment on other blogs let people know about your blog
9. Sign Up with stumbleupon and stumble your posts, have other stumble it for you too.
10. Contact ME to give you advice on how you can do better as blogger

Horaayy..there are 4 comment(s) for me so far ;)
I have been having a hard time finding a template that doesn’t look like everyone else’s and offers the features I need. Because of the popularity of plugins, you have to test each theme for compatibility with each other and the theme you are using!
However, I wonder if it makes sense to not ask for donations. Most of the big time bloggers do it. Give me some feedback.
I am highly impressed with your tips. I would appreciate you visit my blog and let me know what am doing wrong and how to correct it and start making money. Thanks for helping others improve on their blogging.I would love to read you as soon as possible. Thanks.
@Ellie: If you find something let me know I might help you configure it.
Well donations are ok as long as they go toward something that is really usefull, but let say for example if i make 100.000 a year and I still want donations for my self isn’t that little bit rude to ask? Donation for me is for people that don’t have money that need medical assistance etc
I think it is not good to ask for money because first time visitors will immediately turn around and go somewhere else.
@Okey: I will take a look of your blog i think I have some thime on Monday, I will be out this weekend sorry. I took a quick look, I think you should work on different theme, more green and make it more garden website feel. Also add some keywords improves your google adsense. You should of place instead garden put Garden Help or Tips or Advices etc. Go to http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ and type in garden see what people are most searching for, write about that!!!!
