Complete Guide To Make Money With Event Based Niche Blogs

Hello Friends, First of all Belated Happy Valentines Day. Today in this post I will be revealing a secret behind making some large chunks of money with Event Based Blogs. 

You might have heard about Niche blogs, but nowadays a new trend of Event Based Niche Blogs has started. This technique is being used by many clever bloggers, I feel that now its time for you to have success with it. 

What is an Event Based Blog ?

Its quite simple, Event based blogs are the blogs focusing on any upcoming event (Like New year, Valentines day etc) which is specially celebrated all over the world. Its Simple, Create and rank a blog following all the steps and receive tons and tons of organic visits to your blog during the event. 

For example : One of my friend Imran Uddin (Founder of AllTechBuzz) created an Event based blog for "NEW YEAR 2014". There can be many examples seen all over the place. 

I think you all are now well aware of such type of blogs. My friend, who I mentioned about earlier made over 2000$ (yes you've read it right ) in just a week with his blog he created. 

How To Get It Running ?

Now let me tell you the procedure of how to get started with one such blog. Its not very easy as it sounds but once you apply all steps properly then you'll surely get success with it. 

1. Get a domain name related to the event - Make sure you purchase a domain name related to event you are blogging about. 

For example: If you are making a blog on Valentines day itself then your Top Level Domain (TLD) must be like,

 "Valetinesday2014.com" or "HappyValentinesDay2014.com" etc etc  

There can be many such names chosen. What actually the benefit of this is that your site will be ranked First whenever someone searches for these keywords specially the exact keywords which are common to your domain name. So this is one part done into making a successful event based site. 

2. Post Title and Content- This is one the most important step that should be carefully followed. If you feel that just having the exact match domain name will take you top, then you're completely wrong. You still have to consider about the content as well as the Title 

Here are Some tips regarding your post

• Your post title should be selected keeping in mind of what people will search. 
• Try to invovle the year in your post title ( REALLY HELPFUL )
• Don't dissapoint readers by posting low quality content. 
• Make sure to do Internal Linking within your posts.   

Let me give you some examples of how the post and the title should look like. Try to make title as such people will search.  

Example 1: Happy New Year Wallpapers 2014

Example 2: Valentines Day 2014 Sms

Example 3: Free HD New Year 2014 Wallpapers 

I hope you understood this, now lets talk about the content. Creating content for such blogs is not at all a Difficult task. It's quite easy, Like in most of some posts you will be needing many pictures ( Wallpapers, designs, Gift Cards, Gif Images etc). So its really easy to collect such images from different search engines or you can create it yourself. I will soon post about how to use pictures from different sites with full rights. But for that you have to wait, so better google it for now. 

One more important thing, try to take your post count to around 20-40. It will take very less time in creating posts and if you create atleast 2 posts a day then you will reach the mark in just 15 days. 

3. Link Building: Now comes the part of link building, apply various techniques of building backlinks back to your blog. Share content on Social Sites and Directory submission sites as well.

4. SEO: Make sure to do both OFF-Page as well as ON-Page SEO of your site. If you don't know about it you can hire an expert for the work. We can also provide you SEO EXPERTS for this work. 

5. Monetization: The final part of your event based blog is to Monetize your site by Google Adsense (or any other of your choice). Try to follow all the rules of AdSense as no one would like to see a ban on it. If you don't have AdSense and if you're struggling to get one for yourself. Check our AdSense section or Contact us via our contact page.

Extra Tips to Ensure 100% Success

• Use Blogger Platform rather than Wordpress as Blogger platform will help you rank your posts well on top and in no time. 


• Start the work atleast 1 month before the Event.


• Try to run this in partnership with your friend. 


• Make sure to Index every post using Google webmasters as well as other webmaster tools.


• Work with Dedication and don't take it lightly as this topic is quite trending around the blogosphere.

• Atlast Sleep well on the Event night and have a good morning with $$$$ on your Adsense account as well as other affiliate account if you've set any.

5+ Reasons Why You Are Failing With AdSense

You got an approved AdSense account but are you earning well by it. Yes or No? Well according to my survey more than 50% of the bloggers or site owners are still not earning even after getting an approved publisher account. 

So where are you lacking?

What are your mistakes?

Can your blog really make money from AdSense?

My Daily page views are 2000+ but still I’m not satisfied with the AdSense earning?

Such thoughts really comes in our minds, I have experienced it too. Well don’t worry, today I’m here to help you get answers to such questions. J After a long research I have come up with some points that may be the reason behind your failure at AdSense. 

Here’s the list of mistakes you might be doing.

Low traffic: - This is the case with most of the users. With a low traffic of around 200-800 unique per day you should not expect a good daily income, it will hardly generate 5-8$ for US based publishers and only around 1-3$ for Asian publishers (especially Indian and Pakistani) due to low CPC rates.

Poor Quality Traffic: - Quality of traffic matters a lot, if you try to bring traffic mostly via social media it will result in poor quality traffic. Such traffic doesn’t last’s long and will also increase your bounce rate. Stop expecting AdSense clicks from LOW quality Traffic. Once you start receiving quality traffic specially organic, you will observe a complete change in your Ad revenue as well as affiliate sales.

Poor Ad Placement: - Ad placement again plays a crucial role in deciding the fate of your AdSense earnings. Try to use Responsive ads with both text and image ads. Read all theregulations of AdSense before trying new spots. DON’T ADD MORE THAN 3 AD UNITS ON A SINGLE PAGE.

Poor Design of your Blog: - Poor Design, non-responsive themes also effects a lot in this situation. Use responsive templates and have an elegant look.

Expectations: -If you live with your expectations then sorry nothing gonna help you. You get What you deserve. So don't expect much from AdSense. 

Your Niche Won’t work with AdSense: - Yes, it’s true. Some Niches can’t work with AdSense and you can only succeed with such niches only when your blog stands on top of all your competitors.

For Example: Blogging is one of the most common niche nowadays and it’s nearly impossible to succeed with it. There are 10000s of such blogs with the same content written in different styles. It's quite funny but every newbie starts with Niche, such bloggers can't stand for a long time. Moreover this niche won’t get much clicks on Ads as most of the readers of blogging niche are Bloggers itself and they know very well of AdSense as well as affiliate marketing and it’s unlikely that they will click your ads. I also don’t click Ads as I know very well about it. But if you target other niches like Health, Education, Law, Forex etc. then you can easily earn money right from the beginning. This example is taken after a long research

So try to come up with some different niches.

Well there are dozen other factors that lowers your AdSense revenue, but I’m sure if you keep in notice the above discussed points then you won’t have any problem and you will be flying high with your revenue.  

Share this post with all your blogger friends who are experiencing such problems

Traffic is something that every website owner worry about. But what is traffic for you? Well, let me clear that it’s not just numbers.

“Traffic is not just numbers, it’s the measure of success of your blog”

Well I’m not eliminating the fact that traffic is the number of visits you get on your site. But In a broader sense it’s the measure of success of your site or blog. It shows that more people are aware of your business which is a cool sign for you.

All you have to do is just start a campaign with any PPC advertising network by spending some money and the results are all positive provided you did a good research before starting the campaign.

Some of the best PPC providers are listed as follows:

Forum Marketing: 

Many top Forums easily gets over a millions views daily thus making it a great source of traffic and yes some potential customers as well. The best part is no matter what niche you are working on you will never be short of forums related to it.

However it’s a bit trickier as you have to post helpful information without any promotion. You can also just reply in different threads and get some likes. Over time you will get noticed by the members and your ranks in the forum will raise. You then will have the opportunity to place your links in your signature that will surely get you huge traffic.

This method is really the best unless and until you follow all the rules strictly, otherwise it will lead to a ban on your account.

Some Top Forums:

• Warrior Plus
• Digital Point forum

Offline Promotions:

Have you ever thought of offline marketing? Well it’s time to think over it.

In Fact, this is the best way to get some extra traffic to your blog/site. Though people spend most of their times online but still life has not moved completely on the web. Offline marketing is guaranteed to give good results if used properly. 

You now may be thinking "Ok, but how to do this offline promotions?"

Well there are plenty of ways to promote your blog or site offline.

• You can have your link printed on your business cards
• You can also promote by giving away free stuff like giving coupons for local events etc.
• You can have your T-shirts, mugs etc. printed with your brand name.
• You can conduct seminars in colleges/high school under your brand name

So as you have seen there are a whole lot of methods for offline promotions and it can easily bring in positive results.

Sponsored Content: 

In easy words, this involves paying for any kind of content published on the net. This means tweets, mentions, reviews, blog posts etc. In other words if you are paying to get noticed you are sponsoring content.

For example, you can pay people with very high number of followers to tweet your link. This way you get noticed by his followers and ultimately it will results in good traffic.

Site's to get Sponsored Reviews 

• SponsoredReviews.com
• PayPerPost

Social Advertising: 

It’s already known to us that social networks have the highest power of generating traffic and leads. But from the past few years, apart from sharing content you can also place ads on them.

You may have noticed the ads appearing on your facebook home page as well as other pages, they are all paid ads and this is what you can also do to gain exposure.

No matter which network you choose, they all will work in pretty much the same manner. It basically works on PPC model and the rates are quite affordable.

Some top networks to choose from are:

• Facebook Ads
• POFads

List Building Services: 

This is indeed the best way to get targeted traffic though it requires a lot of effort and time.

It all starts with building lists, which can be done in many ways. You can conduct giveaways or offer freebies to increase your lists. Once you have a good list of subscribers you can start with the next step which involves frequent emailing of your new posts or product to your subscribers.

InInbox is one such service which I chose for email marketing. Do read my review of InInbox.

Contest marketing: 

This is the best method to get huge traffic on your blog. You can come up with different contests like giving away hosting for 1 year or some SEO plugins or template or if you can afford you can even host a contest of iPhone giveaway.

There are a lot of sites where you can submit your giveaway and get links back to your original site.

PunchTab and Rafflecopter are my favorites for hosting a giveaway as they come with a whole lot of features allowing you to get more social exposure.

Video Marketing:  

It is usually a process of selling your services or products with the help of videos. This is a great way to reach out those sections of the audiences who would otherwise have missed it.

This can again be done in many ways, either by embedding your ads between the related videos or just uploading the ads as standalone videos or just placing text ads in the video.

MakeWebVideo is the service I usually use since it offers a lot of professional templates that I can use in my videos.

Podcasting: 

I know you may have heard of this thing a lot of times but do you know about it lately?? I don’t think so!!

Well a podcast/netcast is an audio or a video file available online for syndication and the users can easily download a new podcast as soon as it is released.

One of the best thing about it is that anyone can get into it. Grab a microphone and a software and you’re ready to go. 

But what should you do with podcasts? Well make it simple and informative, the topic may of any niche that you are familiar with. Keep it long, around 20 to 60 minutes would do great. And yes upload them regularly to build some reputation and hold on your listeners. Add these podcasts into RSS feeds to get much wider exposure.

Some sites where you can host your podcasts are:

• Libsyn
• HipCast
• SoundCloud

eBook Distribution: 

Blog posts cannot contain the whole information, They are only limited to about 500-1000 words. So here comes the eBook part. You can simply go for long how-to guides or pack your ebook with different strategies. Make sure to add your own bio and your links.

How you want to give it is your choice. However I would recommend you to giveaway freely as it will build trust which inturn will help you get more traffic or even sales if you have any product. Submit your ebooks to different directories and get high exposure. 

Some directories are:

• Scribd
