I have a couple of different income streams on my blog and I check each of them to see if I’ve made any money.  Being quite new still I have only made a little so far, but it is quite exciting when I log in to check those stats and see a little bit more money in there.

Not bad for a kid I recon to be able to come online and create a blog and within a couple of weeks to be able to start making money with it.  I haven’t been posting to my blog anywhere near as often as I should be so I know that I could be making even more money by now if I had been posting to it every day.

Whenever I make a blog post I also submit that post to some social bookmarking sites which helps bring in more traffic.

I also need to start building some backlinks to my blog, but I’ll talk about that another day as that is a whole post on it’s own for this blog.

Just remember if you do start a blog to make money, then try to do a blog on a topic that interests you.  If you choose any topic and particularly if you choose one that you don’t know much about, then it can be really hard to write about and you will lose interest in it very quickly.  But if you choose a topic that you really like and that you know a lot about, then it is really easy to write about it and it doesn’t take long to go into your blog and make a post.

Blogging is heaps easy and fun and a great way for a kid to make money.

I have been putting in an effort to post to that blog and promote it a little and it is coming along quite well.  I have actually made my first couple of dollars with it.  It isn’t much yet, but I can see that the more I post to it and the more I promote it, then I am starting to get more and more visitors to it.

I think as long as I stick with it, then I will keep getting more and more visitors and the more visitors I get then I should start making some decent money with it.

I will keep you posted on how it goes even though I’m still not willing to reveal the actual blog as I don’t want everyone to start creating blogs in that same niche and with the same keyword phrase.

Basically though, you can really blog about anything, as long as you can find a good keyword phrase that doesn’t have too much competition, then you can do really well.

My Mum started a new blog a couple of months ago too on a good keyword phrase, but she does post to hers more often than I do and promotes it more too.  She is making about $150 a month with her blog so far and hers is just getting better and better with more and more visitors all the time.  My goal is to catch up at least to where Mum is now with her blog as $150 a month would be pretty good.

If you want to start a blog though and learn more about getting good keyword phrases, then just do what my Mum did for me, grab a copy of Blogging To The Bank and read through it a couple of times and then go ahead and start your first blog.  It’s really good and tells you everything you need to know to get a blog to make money.

You might remember in my last post I spoke about doing keyword research and finding a good keyword that has a lot of searches every day but with not too much competition.  Well, even though my blog is only a couple of days old, it is already ranking number 3 in Google for the ‘exact’ phrase match.

I know the exact phrase match gets much less views than broad match, but the fact that I have number 3 for exact in such a short period of time is a good sign.  I don’t think it will take me long to get my blog to page 1 in Google for broad phrase.

If you haven’t done anything like this before, this all might sound quite confusing – exact phrase and broad phrase – and trust me it was confusing for me at first too.  But once you get an understanding of it, it really does make sense and it really is important in getting good rankings for your blog.

Actually, to get a good understanding of everything involved in making money with blogging, my Mum bought be Blogging To The Bank and told me that if I was serious about blogging that I needed to sit down and read it.  I’ve read about half of it so far and I’m going to sit and read the rest tonight and tomorrow.  It’s pretty good and given me some great ideas and tips that I’d never had known.

Hopefully my blog will start making some money soon and I will be able to come in and let you know of my progress.

Just an update on my savings progress – yesterday we took our bottles and cans in to the recycling depot and we got $45 total for them.  I had to split that with my 2 brothers, so we all got $15 each.  So I started with $8 a few days ago, I got $5 pocket money last weekend and $15 for the cans and bottles, so I’m up to $28 now.  Still a long way to go until I get my PSP but I’m getting closer.  It’s pocket money day tomorrow too so I’ll get another $5 tomorrow.  Mum and Dad pay us $5 each week if we do our chores during the week.  Mine is easy this week, I’m on feeding the dog, every week we swap chores.

Thanks for reading
Ben

Anyway, with niche blogging, you need to choose a good niche (topic) and start a blog about it.  Mum has been showing me all this stuff about keyword research because you can’t just choose any old name for your blog, it is best to choose your blog name based on the keywords for your blog.

She helped me do all this research to find a good keyword phrase (group of words) relating to the topic that I want to blog about.  It’s not just about finding a group of words though, she actually goes through and finds out how many people are searching for that group of words on Google and also how much competition there is on Google for that group of words.

So the trick is to find a keyword phrase that has a lot of Google searches per day but that doesn’t have too much competition.  That isn’t always easy to do and it can take a long time sometimes before you find a good phrase that meets that criteria.

If you don’t do the keyword research then you could base your blog around keywords that just have way too much competition and then since there is so much competition no-one will ever see your blog – it will be hidden way back hundreds of pages down in Google.

I know I probably just made something as easy as blogging sound difficult or confusing, but once you know how to do the keyword research then it isn’t that hard and it really is very important if you want to get a blog seen by lots of people.

So, now I have my topic and I have my keyword phrase and I have bought a domain name for my blog which cost me $8.99US for the name.  Mum is hosting the blog on her hosting account so it isn’t costing me anything for hosting.

I’m not going to give out the link to my blog just yet as I don’t want heaps of people to start a blog on the same topic or the same keywords.  It took us quite a while to find such a good keyword phrase so I want to keep it to myself for a while.

I will let you know how it goes though and if it makes me any money.  So, once again wish me luck!

At 50c profit each, you would need to sell 40 chocolate bars every day to make $20 a day.  I think your parents and neighbours and relatives would get a bit sick of buying chocolates from you everyday – not to mention they would start putting on weight.

Anyway, I don’t know about where you live, but I don’t even think we can get chocolate bars for 25c at the supermarket.

Personally, I think this kid isn’t making $20 a day from selling chocolate bars, I think he’s making $20 a day from selling his report telling kids to sell chocolate bars.  His report is $5 so he only has to sell 4 of those a day to make his $20.

Good for him I guess, if that is making him money then I guess he’s off to a good start in business.  It was just a little disappointing of the quality of his report though, I wouldn’t like to charge money for something that isn’t really worth it.

Anyway, I don’t think I’ll give the chocolate bar selling a go, I think it’s a lot of work and I don’t want my relatives getting sick of me trying to sell them chocolate all the time.  My Mum doesn’t even like chocolate (I know that’s just weird huh) so she wouldn’t buy any from me.

My name is Ben and I am 11 years old.  I have been telling my Mum for the last few weeks that I want a PSP and she just keeps telling me that I better start saving.

I know that Mum does a lot of work online as an Internet Marketer so I asked her a couple of days ago if I could do some work for her to earn some money.  I don’t know that it is going to be very easy, but she is going to teach me some of the stuff that she does to make money online.

One of Mums main income sources is site flipping – she creates websites and sells them.  I know this is a bit hard for me to do completely on my own, but Mum is going to show me some parts of it and said that if I learn some of it then I can do some and then she will pay me a percentage of the profit from the sale of the sites that I help her with.  So I am going to start doing some of that this week and hopefully might make some money with it.

Mum also does some niche blogging which I might give a go a bit later, at the moment I can’t think of anything that I really want to blog about, but if I can think of something then I might start one at some stage.

I should get some money this week from all the recycling bottles and cans we have saved up out the back.  Mum said if me and my brothers bag them up and help her take them to the recylcing depot then we can have the money – which is good even though I have to split it with my brothers.  I don’t know if you do that in your part of the world, but here in South Australia we get 10cents per bottle and can that we take in for recycling.

PSP’s sell for around $300 here so I have a lot of saving to do and as of the time of starting this blog, I only have about $8 saved up.  I will update my progress of what I do to make money and how much money I make.  Thanks for visiting my kids make money blog.

Wish me luck!!!
