money on blogs
 

I'm curious if anyone makes a decent amount of money on blogs annually here? Anyone doing big numbers and if so any words of wisdom?

Define "big numbers".

10 plus joins a day I guess. More than 5k a month.

Thanks for the help........

It depends. What kind of blogs are you talking about? Sex blogs, blogs for adult webmasters with resources and tips or mainstream blogs?

The thing is that because of the competition it is a must to have a nice content and be unique. Trying to be just one more blogger doesn't worth anymore.

I do just under that....

I have 1 sale a day from my blog example are in my sig! although copy paste from original blog of the site which I promote but it worth it.

There is no money in blogging, splogs rule :pimp

Not adult-blogs but I make money from mainstream-blogs.

Haha d-null, u funny! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Use unique content, go niche, be creative and find some way to scale up if possible.

there is no money in porn, don't leave your mcdonald :2 cents:

Plenty of money. Just need to know how to extract it. Saw a thread on another board where a guy created a network of celebrity blogs... Didn't go hot wild.. just seeing if it can be profitable... He keeps posting daily sales... So apparently even a cave man can do it.

We do just under 20k a month on a large network of porn star blogs.

the 4000$ are from me ;)

how many blogs in the network? i think you guys have some nice serps as well.

Around 600

i make about 5 or so sales a week. www.adult-porn.mobi is one of my blogs

that's a lot of blogs. nice.

There is cash to be made, this is for last month, does not include traffic that we sold.

Still money to be made out there.

how many people do you have working on your sites network?

in other words, how many people split those earnings between them?

Three people in total work on them, mostly it's just me.

Out of sheer curiosity, how large is your blog network and is it all unique content.

If you reply with big and yes I will understand :) Seriously though interested in the answer nevertheless.

like he said 600 blogs and they look like pornstar blogs made with promo content.

yeah mea culpa, missed that post first read.

I've made good money from mainstream blogs.

Not unique at all, all sponsor content, mostly pulled from hosted that they have. Some we have back end access and we make our own, on videos we follow what the sponsor allows, some 60 second, 120, 180. etc.

Network pulls about 250k a day in unique hits, 40% is from Google, the rest from a very few but good trades and our own internal traffic.

Thanks for being so candid.

No worries, most bullshit, or never show the stats to back up what they are saying, it's hard to believe a lot of people out there...

Bad ass.

true,thank you,i appreciate it! ;9)

Those numbers are great. THanks for all the awesome feedback everyone!

amazing stuff man, what niches ?

Porn Stars, Glamour for the most part.

just to know, are you the guy that created a thread on mediumpimpin where you put all your progress of your blog empire, where many people work? and you did 15-20K pe rmonth with it??

If that is you, then its obvious we are in a very small business right now, and you are one in hundreds of people who tried to build an empire alone and didn't success and had to quit adult..

Also, you know things other people dont know.. and just putting your stats and not giving advie on how to build the empire, IS NOT GOING TO HELP anyone here.. rather just look as a show off, and get rich quick scheme.

IF YOU REALLY WANT to help people, tell them how to build the empire.. what secrets you used to get backlinks and SEO TRAFFIC in thousands of hits (yeah someone will quote and say: Why would he say that?).. And why would he just paste stats and show off? WHY?

So basically, you are part of a very percentage of people.. I don't want people to have a bad impression, that building a blog empire is easy and you can do it alone, with no investement and all, because they are going to waste years trying to build something for fail and somehting will not work and they will LOSE LOTS OF TIME..

Yeah, call me pesimist, but im just trying to save people's time. if they are naive and dont want to listen to me, great go ahead and crash your head, folks.

lamis ... just believe.

you can do it.

Lamis, as if he is going to tell you or anyone else what amounts to his trade secrets!

He's been amazingly candid as it is, if you use a little bit of smarts he has already provided you a big free kick in getting started.

In all honesty, here is how you can do it. It isn't hard in theory, not so easy in practice.

1. determine the niches you want to work in and do massive keyword research for those niches. Know every keyword people search for that niche in and out.

2. build blogs. Build blogs all day every day. Spread them out across different servers, hosting companies etc.

3. optimize blogs for the keywords you researched. If you don't know how to do it there are many great online resources where you can learn SEO, just do a search for it.

4. Update the blogs that need it, build, build build, build. When you get a network of 600 blogs you don't really need any of them to be huge. If each one just gets 500 unique visitors each day that is 300,000 visitors most of which will be coming from link trades and your SEO work the quality should be pretty decent. Of course it could also be a lot bigger.

Here is the catch. To build an empire like this you will need build 2 blogs every day 6 days a week for a year (that also gives you time to take a couple weeks off during the year to regain your sanity). Of course building those blogs goes on top of updating your blogs, dealing with link trades, sponsors etc?. So as the empire grows, so does the work load. Most people are not going to be willing to put in that kind of work.

As for costs. Say you want to start out with a network that is just 10% that big. You buy 60 domains at $10 each for a total of $600. You will need some hosting. For a starting network you can get some small hosting accounts on a few different hosting companies for around $40-$50 per month or maybe less. So the cost is not that big, but it would be a lot, LOT of work.

Sure there are some other aspects to it and most people who have a network this big have tools they use to automate the workload and or a system in place to help them do all the work faster/smarter. They also have a good system in place to keep track of what they are doing and keep track of the network. They likely know their niches so well they can really zoom in on specific keywords and with this many sites they can build sites that can compete for larger, broader terms. But in the end it is about having the drive and desire to work. A huge network succeeds on trial and error. Once you figure out what works for you then you duplicate the shit out of it.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Now go forth and build :)

Simple answer : Look at Thread Title and OP!!!

Thanks,i appreciate it! :thumbsup

Lots of money out there...

Think of it like this... MediumPimpin is working hard. He doesn't just magically make $15K+ a month using set it and forget it technology. No... He works for that 15K+ a month. He puts in hours a day, many days a week.

Now, contrast that to your own adult career... Do you work anywhere near that hard?

You got it right, there are no secrets, when I started I never did a blog before, it's all 100% grunt work, none of it hard, just boring as hell.

Most wont do it because they all want instant access, or they are all waiting for a golden ticket, and those days are over.

So while others bitch, and complain, or think some have a hidden talent that makes it all work will do nothing.

This month alone I have cranked out about 40 new blogs/tubes.

We do not use automated tools, we don't use blog directories, we don't spread out them over IP's, we don't build fake sites for back links, hell I have 700 outbound links per blog that are all mine.

Come to think of it there is a secret, we work hard, we don't think short term, and we don't try shortcuts.

I own Medium Pimpin this is nothing about the "Medium Pimpin" program of sites.

3-4 years back we seen the affiliate model slowing down and wanted to more internal traffic of our own so I tried some blogs we had success and we keep going.

I do almost all of the work myself, we have one other person outsourced who makes about 300 posts a month and our affiliate manager "Mailman" helps out when he is not dealing with Medium Pimpin projects.

This is just a side project that has worked well. It took years to build, and grunt work wise it's a monster no doubt, but it can be done.

Hey man, great posts in this thread thank you!! I'm in a similar boat but I chose paysites over blogs and sponsers. LOL I started 2.5 years ago with 5 websites, now I have 29 paysites (and growing, a new one a month or so). I work 7 days a week. I have absolutely no ass left, I've worked it off. LOL

But NOW I want to build a blog network EXACTLY because of what you just said: the affiliate model is slowing down and having YOUR OWN INTERNAL TRAFFIC SOURCES is the Key to long-term stability in an unstable adult world. Or, as stable as you could get, I suppose.

So I ask you: How do you MANAGE all those blogs? What tools do you use to not get confused? LOL Also: if you have 600 blogs obviously you don't update them all 3 times a week or more because that would be around 1800 posts a week, every week, and even if you paid for those number of posts it seems like a lot. :)

Thanks again, you're an inspiration!!

We try and update them at least once a month the more popular ones get more posts. I have a Spread Sheet on Google docs that I use to keep then listed and when they have been updated. Other then that we use no tools, we just build and post like mad, when we see a blog doing good we just post more on it.

Amazing man im gonna add sum more blogs this month

What about the ones that get flagged by google even tho there is no virus

Like "Lamis" said above I don't want to make this sound like you build some blogs you will make 15k a month.

You have to build some, find what works for and what does not work, once you find one that works that gets sales and traffic then take what you have done and ramp it up, it's all a numbers game.
