How Do Bloggers Use Their Credit Cards? Read on…

Posted by

Ages ago, I posted a reply to a request from Mr. Credit Card’s survey. I’d forgotten all about the survey until I received this email announcing his results: It’s worth reading, and great link bait. As is his follow up post on the bloggers involved!

Mr Credit Card here.

During March and April, I sent out an email to do a credit card survey. In fact, I sent out to over 150 pf bloggers. 45 of you have responded to the survey and I want to thank all of you for that.

But first, I want to apologize for taking so long to publish the results. There were several reasons. Firstly, I sent a few reminders to the people I sent the survey to and this took a while. Then, when I upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1, I could not load any images (and I had to for this survey). My full-time work also got in the way.

Having said all that, I have published the results. I want to thank you all once again. In return for participating in this survey, I will mention your blogs in a special post tomorrow (hint : it’s not just a post full of links).

So watch out for my emails again tomorrow. And I hope you learnt something from this survey.

Regards – Mr Credit Card

And…

As a way of saying thank you to all of you, I have actually written a follow post that briefly describes you and your site and I’ve picked what I thought to be the best or most interesting credit card post you have written on your blog. I’ve named the post “Ultimate Collection of Credit Card Posts” – (well, maybe I’m exaggerating, but hey – it’s all of your post!).

Thanks once again. And I would appreciate if you could spread the word about the survey and the collection of cc posts. I’ve certainly learnt a lot from this and I might just write up my thoughts on how we could collectively make better use of our cc in a post tomorrow.

So watch your emails again!

Regards, etc..

If you’re interested, check out one of my favorite Credit Card Posts on this blog (I do have tons in the archives on Credit Cards!).

Happy Blogging, and keep that credit card tucked away!

Video: How do bloggers make money?

Posted by

I’ve not done too badly over the past two years making nearly $11,000 on this blog and various other ‘related’ and ‘unrelated’ activities, but then I started watching this video by Yaro Starak as part of his promotional efforts for his Blog Mastermind Mentoring Program.

This method describes how he goes about making money and is totally worth watching though you may need to be patient if you can’t download fast enough! Then I started watching the other video about how much he can make … it’s staggering just how much he can bring in! Truly staggering. But like he says, watch this one first! It makes better sense!

Getting Publicity on InvestorBlogger

Posted by

There are lots of ways to get publicity, traffic and comments for your blog… If you’re looking for a little publicity, you can do any (or all!) of the following things.

1. Submit your blog for a BlogBuzz … it’s easy and fun to do.

2. Comment in the posts, and I’ll visit your blog and leave at least one comment!

3. Drop your Entrecard on my blog, and I’ll see yours. This also appears on my blog in the sidebar where you can get your entrecard widget placed!

4. Drop your article in one of my carnivals and see the linkback in the next edition.

5. Linking: Do link to me, and I’ll surely link back to you.

6.  Buying an advertisement on this blog is also very effective. The most effective ads are in fact those little text ads on the sidebar which can create clickthrough rates in excess of 3% gross.

7. I do offer banner ads for those who would like them, too. Please enquire for rates.

8. You can also be featured in my TopSpots section if you wish.

9. There are also lots of other ways I like to work with bloggers, advertisers and others looking for publicity so do stick around! Take part as you wish, and thank you for reading InvestorBlogger Dot Com.
