From Trash to Cash: Dribbling a river

nolongerindenial

Right, thats it ive decided im going to go for it.......

I have the systems in place to post the blogs from my machine here, meaning whilst I know I can schedule with wordpress, I have better control and lower time overheads doing it from this machine here. Right now I need to decide on a brand for this... anyone got any ideas??

What I know....

• The site will be targetting increasing your income through CPC (Adsense) / CPA (Affiliate) Marketing
• The Primary goal will be to make a full time living from this, the content I have already written makes no bones about this.
• The secondary goal is to invest as little as possible financially to get this off the ground, the content I have written goes into this in quite some depth.
• I will aim to post on this blog every single day with regards to what is happening.
• The blog is starting with a budget of just £15, this is enough for me to purchase the two domain names (.co.uk and .com) which are required.
• I will build the site... including mailing list etc etc etc
• There will be a custom design built once it has earned its way.
• This blog wont earn a penny for a few months whilst I build up the content
• I do not want any relation to MSE in terms of branding.
• I will be offering guest posts to other bloggers.

What I dont know:

• What to call the thing
• How I am going to approach the link building / marketing
• What keywords I am going to target
• The site strapline

Anyone got any ideas lol - im great at marketing other peoples blogs but not my own.

Even - you can make money from CPC - Cash per Click, Googleads, or blog sponsorship. There are quite a few business models but the NLID is the expert. I am just good at making stuff look good more than anything else.

Thanks dilli
How would blog sponsership work

Even,

The whole idea of the blog is to explain these things..... to allow someone who is not technically minded to make a network of sites.

I have an article which I have written already which is aiming at this question. However a brief sample is if you goto the website in my profile, this site is a website which is also under construction (I am awaiting a lot of the content from one of my content writers), however with the ads you see on the right, and under the article are what is known as adsense. This is a CPC (Cost Per Click) revenue stream, this means absolutely nothing to many people until they realise that Google charges the companies whose ad you click on money for the click, and 68% of the cost charged to the company is then paid to the advertiser (IE Me in this example).

THe goal of a pro blogger is to achieve a maximum amount of click throughs to the adverts to provide them enough money to live on

Thanks nolonger
thats made things a little clearer
still a little complex for a creative rather than practical mind
I am interested in learning though

Had a quick look at your site, looks like what I need
Will examine it closer when we get the broadband in this weekend

I'm struggling for any other ideas.....I think your name needs to tell people what you are trying to achieve, to draw people in. I'll be an avid folower lol!

I know about the difference between a creative and logical mindset, I myself have the logical mindset and know a lot needs doing.

However this is about setting down a system which works for those that are creative, allowing more people the freedom to earn what they are capable of and not be tied to a desk 9-5!

Nix - I have wrote down 100's of names, not one of them fits in with whats needed.. A brand I can use for years as this site will end up with 1000's of pages of content.
