Earning Online - Why You Need A Blog

I was recently asked how I bring traffic to my blog. The simple answer for me is social networking. I use sites like MyLot and Yuwie to meet people with similar interests and share with them what I'm doing to earn, and consequently, learn what they are doing. The best part is that you are paid on these sites for socializing, so that makes you certain that they are interested to earn online. Here is a sample of my MyLot homepage here; this is my Yuwie profile here. You can see how these sites act as a place to advertise. I have my blog listed in both of these places so people that visit my page can find out more about me if I've interested them somehow. To join MyLot click here. To join Yuwie, click here.

Another suggestion is to use a Squidoo lens for promoting your programs if you do not have a blog. Squidoo allows you to write about anything you are knowledgeable about. Squidoo then helps promote the lens and gives you a passive income from anything purchased from the lens and also the number of page views you have. It is another place that is good to use as a home base for promoting your programs. To join Squidoo, please click here. Here are my Squidoo lenses.
~ Late Talking Children - The Einstein Syndrome
~ Become A Baby Whisperer
~ Free Online Cash System
~ Spinning

One of the most important aspects of a blog, lens or space, is keeping people up to date and informed on your area of specialty. For those of you that are online earning right now, but do not have a blog, lens, etc, you are signing your own fate. Blogs are very easy to create and even easier to maintain. You can even use sites like Yuwie and Squidoo to promote your programs rather than a blog. But remember, without offering something of quality, you will not maintain a loyal and consistent readership.

Another way I drive traffic to this blog is by using LinkReferral. It is another great way to find new opportunities as promote your site.

Now, some blogs and lenses do not allow you to use simple traffic generators to your site. That is why I use the above techniques. However, there are ways around this. Each suggestion I make is not violating the rules of any associated site.

This is the first post in a series, that will be used to help teach people how to create more earnings with their blog, site or individual program with different techniques.
