There is a high anxiety bit of legislation that is working its way around the US right now, it has started in 5 states so far, but is expected to gain momentum with future states. What is happening right now is the states are trying to adopt a cross state tax to be imposed even if you don’t have a brick and mortar store in the state you sell items to someone in. It is very confusing and needless to say is going to put the hurt on some peoples businesses because they are not going to be able to compete with the internet sites that are currently not having the internet tax imposed on. Lynn Terry has done a great job summarizing what is going on and there is a great debate on ClickNewz right now discussing it… You know there is nothing like getting kicked when you are down. Way to go government leaders!  Hey go check that out and come back here and leave a comment when you are done.

So, in light of this recent internet tax, I wanted to share with you 3 ways to further monetize your blogs to help you generate more revenue to get through all of this economic mess.

1. Would be create a membership site out of your blog, have different levels of membership and a great conversion tactic to get the freebies to start paying for quality content.  You can find a great product to do this at Membernaire.com, as a matter of fact, here is what Jimmy D Brown has to say about membership sites. “The easiest way to get monthly recurring income without a lot of work struggling to come up with original content, without buying high-priced scripts and without waiting around for results.” Go Check out his site, he does a great job explaining step by step what to do. I have been going through his course for about 3 months now, and I think his explanations are concise and easy to follow. Plus he has a great assistant, her name is Nicole Dean. Look forward to an interview from her soon (This is going to be an on going thing with the interviews), so go check it out and let me know what you think!

2. The second way to monetize your blog would be to use affiliate marketing to generate a revenue. You can find many networks to find products to sell. Some of them would be azoogle ads and pepperjam network. Again, I have a product for you to use to learn how to promote the affiliate links with. It is another Jimmy D Brown program, and there is a reason I am using his products right now.. It’s because they work. He is a very trusted internet marketer out there, and he has helped my business grow over the last couple months. Here is the link to his Affiliatenaire.com program. Do yourself a favor and sign up for his programs.. You will not regret it!

3. Lastly, there is the PPC method… I would do a search in Google for how to best use Adsense to set up a campaign for your business model.  I have not mastered Adsense yet, so you are going to have to find out where to get the info that is gonna work for you. You might also want to look into Yahoo Publisher Network on how to monetize your blog. I have included the links as a starting point for your search. Be creative and come up with more terms to find the information you want to know about.

Let me know how your online efforts are coming along and if I can help you figure something out. I have a lot of resources at my disposal to aid you in your business. Just ask in the comments section.

To Your Success,

Clint Anderson
