=> Watch 2 Videos on How Yaro Makes Money With His Blog Here

This is truly a rare opportunity to look inside Yaro’s blog to find out exactly how he’s making money. When I take a look at different programs I always look to see if this will really work for the traditional business owner mostly because that’s my recent mindset as a small business owner.

But at the same time, I know I’ve been making a living completely online, I also look to how the program will benefit my online business.

VIDEO 1: HOW TO MAKE MONEY BLOGGING

Yaro opens up with how he makes money from blogging, and how he’s been doing this for the last 3 years. Which when you think of it is really not that long ago. Back then, he was doing some things online already and he grew the site all about entrepreneurship and his own journey.

He talks about 2 methods that he teaches to grow your income to a huge amount.

1) Having people subscribe to his newsletter

2) Creating valuable content for his blog

Most people don’t have an email newsletter on the site or blog, this is HUGE. You need a way to follow up with your subscribers who can become potential customers.

Putting the subscription box on your site will generate new people joining your newsletter. He says his generates 30-100 people per day! When I heard that all I thought of was Wowee! I’m wondering if he uses any pay per click advertising as well?

I managed to create a simple sign up domain for my scrapbook site and have run pay per click ads there to generate subscribers for my newsletter. This certainly is a great way of doing things if you have little traffic.

Gain Attention & Make Money

In this day it’s rather hard to grab attention of potential customers. When people come to the internet they are looking for information, it’s best to supply them with that. No matter what your industry is, you must provide information on your products and services. It’s simply not good enough to just have the product picture and the price. People want quality information, you should start thinking on how to serve the content needs of the people who come to your site.

How Yaro Makes Money - Also How To Apply Some Things To Your Site

Sponsorship

People can advertise with Yaro and choose to purchase any of his sponsorship packages. One thing of note, he also has a “recurring” model where you’re automatically put into a recurring monthly sponsorship.

I can see why he does things this way because it generates regular income and it makes it easier to work with some key sponsors instead of having a big turnover each month (which believe me, is a real hassle). He runs banners, buttons, square, and text links. I recently changed my advertising options to include the purchase of individual buttons, banners, and squares.

Inside Blog Mastermind he shows how to set up an advertise page just like this, and how to foster a strong sponsorship relationship. I have a feeling the “recurring” info will be covered inside the course.

Affiliate Promotions

He creates a review of programs that he thinks are good to promote, just like this blog post I’m writing right now. He receives commission of various programs from ebooks and services and talks about promoting a recurring program that is something that is great because it gives him a consistent income just from that one service promotion.

Big Ticket Affiliate Promotions

Recently Yaro was promoting Product Launch Formula (which I purchased from his link ONLY because I wanted his bonus and I’m even an affiliate of Jeff’s see I’m a Bad Affiliate, hopefully redeeming myself by covering Yaro’s program). It generated him $17,000.00 in affiliate commission. A significant source of income if you can tap into this level of affiliate marketing.

ONE THING TO NOTE: He’s always testing different methods.

Email Newsletter List

He sends email out to his newsletter subscribers with his affiliate link inside and drives sales. He makes mention that he also sends out lots of quality information to his subscribers as well so it’s not all sales orientated. Be sure to check out yaro’s proof video right after the first one.

A FEW OTHER THINGS

He used to make money with these things still but it doesn’t do it this way any longer.

1) Google Adsense - You can add text ads to your site and google will pay you from just showing these ads. You can also optimize your page for target keywords to increase the pay per click.

2) Review Me - People will buy paid reviews from Bloggers and you get 50% from the service after you write your review. Yaro used to do these reviews and stopped doing them because he didn’t like being forced to write on a certain topic.

3) Text Link Ads - You can sell text links from your site and you don’t have to deal with looking for advertisers. It’s another method that he no longer uses due to recent changes that Google has made along with changes within Text Link Ads themselves.

4) Chitika - These are great for people with blogs like electronics, I never did well with this program myself.

5) Commission Junction - People advertise their products and services, you put the info on your site, and you make a percentage of the sale.

6) Clickbank - I don’t care what industry you’re in you can find ebooks written on your topic, create a review and link to your affiliate link. You just build your audience, and find a topic that is good for your audience and you can sell without having to create the product yourself.

7) Amazon - It’s pretty much an online superstore and you can find products to promote on your site.

Widget Bucks - Put ads on your blog, if someone clicks you make money.

9) Kontera - It puts hyperlinks on your blog posts and if someone clicks you make money. They contacted me, set me up an account and I placed these ads on one of my sites, I’m still waiting to see how it does. It would help if they got back to me with my username and password though!

10) Per Per Post - Get paid when you write reviews on your blog.

SOME POINTS OF INTEREST

Build traffic and an audience first, then find the system that works for you. Build your blog and then learn how to test what works the best.

He mentions at the end to Focus on ONE blog, which to me makes complete sense because it keeps your focus on one topic.

VIDEO 2: SHOW ME THE MONEY VIDEO

Yaro discusses inside this video an inside look at the proof of how he makes money. He wants to show you how he is genuine and he recommends you watch the first video first.

The Main Ways

1) Sponsorship

2) Affiliate Programs

Most of the money he receives is with Paypal (same here). In this video he shows you the emails that show the payment notification from advertisers. He has simplified his system and finds that banner advertising is the most effective for him.

Yaro goes in to show you inside the affiliate programs and into the Product Launch Formula and the proof of the $17,000 +. He shows the Aweber review that he created and how the commission is much lower at only $3.99 for each time someone purchases through his link and it’s a recurring program.

Doesn’t sound like much but he’s been making a consistent income $250-$350 each month just on ONE review. He says it’s a good thing to duplicate your efforts with other programs.

He also shows his cheques from Clickbank and proof of over $8000 just from Clickbank alone.

He ends the video showing all the sales from a specific affiliate product he promotes which is a membership site that he gets just under $25 each month. He shows the payment notification emails from this program to show $1000 per month in commission recursive affiliate programs.

These are not big sales but it all builds up over time and it makes sense to write a review once and get paid over and over again. He’s big on recursive affiliate program.

WATCH UNTIL THE END TO SEE WHAT PROGRAMS YARO PROMOTES

He shows some really great programs that he promotes at the end, you’ll want to watch till the end just to see the programs he promotes, I’ll watch the video again so that I can absorb more of what I learned as well.

This is truly a unique opportunity to learn what we can from someone who has created something from nothing and how we can apply it to our own business.

Again, you can watch those videos here.

Also I’m coming up with a cool bonus that will not only help you with the program but it will prompt you to take ACTION on what you learn.
