I have been blogging for quite some time, mostly for the love of it. Earning has been almost accidental.

I had one blog parodying a notorious Aussie politician that received a lot of traffic for a while, and had a few affiliate links on it. I think I made about a grand from that.

I have made some affiliate income off other blogs, but just a trickle. Challenge now is to take the luck element out of this process and actually maximise my earnings. I recently realized I had several blogs of at least PR 3, so that’s a start!

Encouraging to know that you make a good income from your blogs. The network idea is a good one. Something to think about!

Good information, really, a good transparent article. I personally think you need to have patience for it and I am kind of lacking patience

Great post. Thanks for being transparent.

I don’t know if you can (will) tell but what is your Adsense rpc for the finance site?

And I think the “What Do You Think? Leave A Reply ( I DoFollow! )” tag is a great idea. I am going to add the same.

Mark,

I pay anywhere between $4 to $7 per post depending on the writer, quality of posts and required length of post. You can’t really prevent someone else from starting a similar blog. Partnerships could work but you obviously would have to split profits and have the problem of one of the partners not putting in equal efforts so I personally would usually avoid them.

I find ghost writers via freelancer websites. See this post of mine for a list of websites for finding freelance writers.

Angel,

First make sure you make it clear that the articles must be original and free from plagiarism. With many freelance websites, you pay only after reviewing the content. You can use CopyScape.com to give you a better idea if large parts of the article was copied.

When you outsource for content, how do you guarantee that you are getting original content?

“The posts on this blog are almost 100% outsourced at the moment.”

any tips on doing this? how much to pay, how do you make sure somebody doesn’t just start your own blog and start competing, would it better to partner? where do you find the ghost writers? etc.

thanks
mark
