MonkeyBlogger’s First Challenge

Posted by Mark Cuda on Thursday, June 26th, 2008 | 12 Comments »

Well, the time has come. I am officially starting my first MonkeyBlogger Challenge! What is this crazy MonkeyBlogger Challenge I speak of?

Well, basically, in each Challenge, we will set a main goal, something to achieve. Then we we take all the neccesary steps and mini goals to reach that destination. Think “Make $500 a Month” but for real. ;) But in this particular Challenge, it will be related to blogging. I will give you three options, and you all must vote. Whichever has the most votes in 7 days from the point I make this point, will win. :) Than we will try and achieve that goal together. Now, this is not just a case study. I will need your input every step along the way, and we will get this done! When the goal is achieved, all my readers will get a nice surprize. :) Here are the options.

What should be the first MonkeyBlogger Challenge?

  • Create and sell a blog for $500 or more profit. (47%, 8 Votes)
  • Create a blog and get it earning $100 a month. (41%, 7 Votes)
  • Create a blog and get it to 100 RSS readers. (12%, 2 Votes)

Total Voters: 17

Once it has been chosen, every other day, I will write about the progress in much detail, and you will all learn how this is done. Now remember, I am not an expert, and I will make mistakes, and I will need your help, but together, we can all learn together and put our minds together and learn. :)

Well, how do you all feel about this? As another note, If I can see 15 comments on this post, (Very possible, we have more readers than that. :-P), than every reader will get yet another prize! :)

Blog Like a Monkey!

Posted by Mark Cuda on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Hey all, this is not Mark, but this is Nathaniel from green-flamingo.com. I am filling in for Mark, for as you should know he was injured. I said I would write a guest post about a week ago, but I forgot what I was going to talk about. Now I will tell you how to blog like a monkey and stand out.

monkey see, monkey do. Go blog like a monkey!

Collect bananas - Well, monkeys are associated with bananas right? You have to collect them and then you can eat them. To collect bananas you must stay focused and on the job. Maybe you could have a few of your fellow banana collectors help you out, or you can join programs to help you monkeys get bananas.

In a way you can understand - Making money online is associated with blogging right? You have to make the money and then you can spend it. You have to stay focused, seeing ahead and making sure you are doing things right. You may consider visiting some of these friends which will help you to make the best of your blogging. You might have a few fellow bloggers help you out, and that would help. You can also join affiliate programs to increase and most likely start (unless you have a product or services to sell) you making money online. Some good affiliate programs:

-Google Adsense-

Google Adsense is well known by most, and well recommended. If you want to get the most out of adsense, visit robinhaney.com, maximizing your adsense earnings part one, part two, and recently part three.

-PepperJam-

I myself to not know much about pepperjam, but I hear it is good, and according to the site, they have been ranked one of the top 10 SEO firms in the United States. They are also honored to be recognized as one of the fastest growing privately held business in the US.

-OIO Publisher-

Here you find the tree with millions of bananas, too bad it is not free. You can get discounts though, which is good. OIO publisher is regarded very highly and it would be a good program to join, but make sure you want it before you buy it. What it really does is automate your monetization so you can do what really needs to be done: writing content!

Those are only a very few of some worthwhile affiliate programs, just browse around those trees and you will find many more.

Sell your banana collectors - Now it is time to promote and sell your products. Market well, but don’t be too spammy otherwise people won’t go for it. Carl Ocab can sometimes be a spam seller and spam promoter, which is really annoying. So find the right way to promote and sell your product and done!

Write like a monkey - Stand out, be creative, swing from vines, and from that writing get some bananas. Go ahead and be your fuzzy or fat self. Just be you in your blogging. Write not just in an ordinary way, but write with character and use of the force you must.

After you have those bananas, keep going for more until you have dominated the monkey world. Just to blog like a monkey, work hard, stay focused, be creative and be yourself.
