They are a great tool if you want something to seem more personalized. Something that is coming from you. And it is probably a better sales tool than your standard squeeze(landing) page.

I started looking at this because of an email I got from many of the mass newsletters I receive for internet marketing. So I did a little research on this and found this blog post on how to create your own video optin page.

The great thing about this is that all of the tools you really need are either free or already on your computer. You could even use WordPress.

Build your email list. Sell your product. Create traffic.

One guy who uses this to his advantage is Rob Benwell. In 2006 he dished the dirt on the tips and tricks to making a fortune using blogging. But as time passes the old systems become obsolete and new techniques are required. This is where his brand new, fresh off the press Blogging to the Bank 3.0 system comes into play.

For those who know who Rob Benwell is like me, you’ve probably made a killing using blogs.

For those who don’t, he’s the story:

Back in 2005 he was struggling to make any profit online, had dropped out of college and was getting deep into debt. He was trying all the techniques the gurus tell you and wasn’t getting anywhere fast. All of that went in the bin and he started using his own techniques and started making more and more money using simple blogs. In early 2006 he shared this with the world and had a great ebook called blogging to the bank. Tons of people got rich from using these techniques (including me). He then spoke at Online Marketing Legend Yanik Silver’s underground Seminar where he revealed even more of his underground strategies. Then July 2007 he released Blogging to the Bank 2.0 which showed users his new methods to creating online wealth using blogs. In total both versions have been read by over 50,000 people across the world.

But as I said earlier, the techniques used in these ebooks are now showing there age. Some of them are not even working in the slightest! This is where blogging to the bank 3.0 comes into play.

It’s full of great new techniques that work online right now! Everything’s explained in plain English with all the fluff cut out. I got hold of an advanced copy of the book for a much higher price than what it actually sells for and it has been worth every single cent! I got it in the afternoon and by the evening I was creating new profitable blogs. Within a couple of hours of them being active I had made a nice little profit.

Blogging To The Bank 3.0 teaches you Robs new step by step blueprint to creating highly profitable long term niche blogs using the newest optimization techniques. There’s even a section on advanced Search Engine Optimization. Most people think SEO is difficult but Rob explains this nice and simply so even the blogging newbie will understand it.

Blogging To The Bank 3.0 is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make easy money online.

Blogging to the Bank 3.0

What many people want along with WordPress is the ability to earn a small amount of income from their efforts. Some are happy with even a couple of dollars a month while others are looking to earn thousands a month.

Now, you have probably already followed some of my advice to use WordPress to make money online but you haven’t yet found some of those plug-ins that will help you earn some money in the mean time.

Let’s go over a few of the plug-ins that could be useful to you.

Are PayPal – A great plug-in to monetize your website. Secure some of your posts with this plug-in and have your users, not only register, but pay a small fee to view the content of a post. This can also be used in a page instead of a post. That way you can make your post, point to the page for the content and have the user commit to a small fee to read the rest of the exciting news you have to offer. You can also set it up so that a subscription can be made to allow users access to your paid content. It uses PayPal, so you will have to have an account if you don’t already have one.

AdSense Manager – A great plug-in for those who want to use Google Adsense or other networks. Adsense Manager supports AdSense, AdBrite, AdGridWork, Adpinion, Adroll, Commission Junction, CrispAds, ShoppingAds, Yahoo!PN and WidgetBucks. Place one of the ads in various positions on your pages and posts.

WP125 – This is a great plug-in for small 125×125 banner advertisement manager. Allow advertisers to place a small banner on your website. The WP125 plugin can help you manage your ads more efficiently, leaving you with more time to write new posts. The plugin adds a new “Ads” menu to the WordPress admin, featuring submenus for tweaking display settings and adding and removing ads. Lots of features make this plug-in a must have for your website if you plan on selling advertising space.

AdRotator – While not quite as easy to use as WP125, this allows you to include any banner in a random rotation. Simple to run and add new banners. You may need to modify some of your template code though. And, unlike WP125, you will have to pay attention to when the banner expires. Use this for your affiliate banner ads instead of paid banner advertisements. Use the WP125 for those.

Amazon Showcase WordPress Widget – Add a widget to your website with items from Amazon.com. It requires you to have an Associate Id. Just add your id to the configuration and pick out things to promote. A commission from the sales will be mailed to you once you reach a threshold for payment. This is a great way to promote products and make a little money at the same time.

With these suggestions, you can earn a small to large income depending on your traffic. They are easy to install and configure and will more than likely add to the usefulness of your WordPress blog.
