Blogging for Cash & Sum

I just started adding up images to my blogging posts and it does make the post twice as good. Especially if the images somehow relates or expands on the blog content in a positive way. Bloggging for cash with images expands on the content and gives a different flavor to your blog.

And this led me to make sure that I do two things well to increase my chances for long term success.

1. Do Not Direct Link To Images
Direct linking of images is practiced by some blog or site owners today. Direct linking of images is when you use images by linking directly to the image source at another blog or site. This practice steals bandwidth from another site or blog. Stealing is never good no matter what.

Blogging posts by improper use of images is just not good blogging practice period. You may get away with it for a time. But many instances of this practice have led to negative effects like one day getting missing images all at once. Or getting a different altogether worse image – porn related or text that says, “image stealer” since the source of the image practically controls your images if they somehow change the links or go out of business.

Download the image to your pc and link from there or from a free or paid account at PhotoBucket or other. Using your own images that you took yourself is best if you have them.

2. Use Copyrighted Images With Proper License or Permission
Image or pictures come with personal and commercial for free or license use. Always be sure to use images with the proper license or permission. Getting slapped with a lawsuit only makes matters worse.

There are many free or paid images for use online. Do your research and practice better business practices.

A compiled list of free or paid images for personal or commercial use can be found here. Always read their Copyright Terms of Use policy first. http://www.freebyte.com/clipart_images_photos_icons/

Blogging posts and content with images are within your control and can be your most valuable asset. Promoting and following proper image license use will greatly improve your chances for success and leads to better blogging for cash habits.

How can I get back on my feet and start blogging for cash successfully? I have been sidetracked by so many things, personal as well as so much online work that I need to do. I really need to take a step back and evaluate my progress or lack of it.

Feeling overwhelmed is just another symptom and that I need to slow down and see where I am and how to get to my goals in the fastest and joyful way possible.

I got Problogger’s “31 Days To Build A Better Blog by Darren Rowse” and it will be my main guide in super polishing this blog.

Just a few things off the top of my head that I need to do to update my blog and get ready in my blogging for cash successfully.

1. Design
Update my blog’s design. It is not updated to be compatible above WP 2.8. Getting a simple and easily updated theme will work wonders with my blog in branding itself in the minds of my readers.

2. Content
I am still lacking behind in posting content. I have a plan, just not enough hours in the day to post them. I think my main problem is that I need a weekly or monthly content theme plan in order to be able to easily create the content that I need and maintain the blog in a timely order. Getting Problogger’s “31DBBB” will offer the solution that I need.

3. Traffic
I have a great linking plan that needs to be activated. I hope to put it to great use this week and see some link love from other sites to make my blog more useful in search engine’s eyes. As well as get this blog noticed by others, bringing in the traffic needed.

4. Action
Time to really get down and dirty and just do it! I know what I need to do and I just need to put the plan into reality. I must have more passion and more dedication to this if I want to succeed. I want to succeed so bad that yes, I will act, act, and act some more to see the positive results that I want.

So there it is: four ways for blogging for cash successfully. A plan in the works. I believe in myself that I can do it. I have a plan, time, and resources to put it all into reality. Life is good when it is acted upon.
