Free Earnings tips

About the Blogger "Earnings" tab
The Earnings tab in Blogger makes it easy to enable AdSense ads on your blog. Once your account has been approved, Blogger retrieves your earnings data so you don't need to visit the AdSense dashboard to access basic earnings information.


AdSense Report

Once you start generating AdSense impressions, you'll begin earning money when people click on ads that appear on your blog. The earnings report (visible when you click the Earnings tab) includes a drop-down bar with Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, This Month, and All time.

Selecting an option will retrieve the relevant report directly from AdSense.

All time

If you're an existing AdSense user, you'll notice that Blogger created a new channel (with the URL of your blog) in your account. If you have had AdSense ads on your blog before using Blogger’s AdSense integration to insert ads into your blog, note that All time will retrieve data only from the time you connected Blogger to your AdSense account.

This does not affect your overall AdSense reporting, available directly from AdSense.

Terminology

The AdSense report visible from the Earnings tab contains basic information about how many ads have run on your blog, how many clicks were generated, and how much revenue you've earned. Each term in the report is defined below:

Page views: A page view is generated every time a user views a page displaying Google ads. We'll count one page view regardless of the number of ads displayed on that page. For example, if you have a page displaying three ad units and it's viewed twice, you'll generate two page views and six ad unit impressions.
Clicks: The number of times the ads were clicked on in the given reporting period.
Page CTR (Click-through rate): The number of ad clicks divided by the number of page views.
CPC (Cost per click): The average amount paid by the advertisers for each ad click.
Page RPM (Revenue per mille): This is revenue per 1,000 page views. RPM = (Page views x CTR x CPC) / 1,000

Blogging Tips Tips For Launching Your Own Blog

Blogging has developed from a specialized hobby to a full-time occupation. Many writers live off of their blogs, and anyone with something unique to say can gain an audience and a steady paycheck with the right techniques.

Starting A New Blog

Launching a blog requires some planning. This starts with the name and address of the blog.

It’s important to pick a good domain name, as the URL of a website is one of the most powerful tools that a blogger has at his disposal for repeat traffic. Think of a domain name as a 21st century toll free number: It has to be memorable or it won’t be effective.

blog’s domain name should be descriptive of its subject and preferably a bit unusual. For example, a blog about arrowheads could simply be titled, “Arrowheads And How To Identify Them,” but something like “As The Arrowhead Flies” would be more memorable.
Bloggers should also try to pick a unique subject or to bring a unique perspective to the entries. Writing about hundreds of subjects will rarely lead to a successful blog. Content should be focused and direct. Visitors should know exactly what type of information that they can find on the blog, and using direct and simple approach improves the chances of regular traffic.

Blog Hosting Providers

Most bloggers use a hosting provider like WordPress.com or Blogger. There are several major advantages to these services. They’re inexpensive and may even be free until a blog develops large amounts of regular traffic. Also, the online blogging software provided by these hosting services offers instant, easy organization for a blog of any size.

Many bloggers know only basic HTML and don’t really want to invest a lot of time into things like page design. For these individuals, integration with a hosting provider can keep costs down while streamlining the blogging process. They’re also ideal for first time bloggers because they simplify the process. By using a hosting provider you’ll spend more time writing and less time worrying about page design and web programming languages.

Professional and amateur bloggers will need to consider the price and uptime of various hosting providers before making a selection. The service packages of websites like WordPress.com and Blogger change quite often in both price and offerings. It’s usually a good idea to start out with a package that offers at least 50% more capability for incoming traffic than you plan on using each month. This way, your blog won’t suddenly crash if you write a successful post.

Blogging services can quickly become expensive. They’re worth the money in the long run, as they’ll allow you to keep all of the earnings from ads on your new blog–which is something that free alternatives with “unlimited bandwidth” won’t offer you.

Speaking of money, you’ll have to be on the lookout for ways to make a profit from a blog. Most blogs use ads from Google and Amazon Marketplace. Many bloggers also offer other services and products directly from their sites.

Promoting Your Blog

Blogs need to be promoted in order to flourish. It’s very rare for a blog to receive large amounts of traffic from search engines like Google alone, especially when the blog’s just getting started. A good promotion strategy is absolutely essential, and a strong promotion strategy begins with social media websites.

Promote each blog post from a new blog on websites like Twitter and Facebook. Don’t spam your friends and followers; only post a single link to each blog post, and try to reach out to other bloggers through social websites. Developing a relationship with other writers will allow you to learn about the good habits that lead to regular traffic. You can even ask another writer to post a guest entry on your blog from time to time. This is a good way to build an audience of regular readers.

Always check the comments for each entry and respond to your readers. Cultivate a sense of community by interacting with each commenter and even addressing some of their questions or comments directly in new blog posts. This encourages the return traffic that is important for a new blog.

Finally, blog regularly. Any blog will fail if it doesn’t have regular posts. Posting once a day or more will keep visitors coming back and will quickly lead to better opportunities for money and better traffic. Every blogger should consider consistency to be extremely important–keep a consistent stream of quality entries for the best possible success.

A great technique to use, especially if you have an information product like an e-book, is to give away a free report or mini-course related to the topic of your information product. 

This will allow you to get their email address so you can send them follow up emails promoting your product, or other people's products like in example 1. You are also building a list of people that have an interest in your niche market. If they like your material they will come back for more!

How to Start a Blog


The most important factor while deciding to start a blog is determining the topic on which the write-ups will be based. The blogger will need to establish him or herself as a credible writer in order to make the blog a successful one. Ideally the topic should be one where the blogger has a lot of interest and knowledge as that will help him or her produce the quality that is needed to draw readers on a regular basis. 



There are a certain areas that the bloggers need to be clear about when it comes to starting their blog – the value they are providing to the readers through the blog and what can they expect from the same. It is better to avoid a self-servicing blog and focus on one that provides some value for one and all.

Starting a blog: decision on hosting

An important choice for bloggers while starting out is deciding whether to host it themselves or avail free blogging services. With the free blogging services the bloggers do not have their personal domain and thus there is no possibility of owning the blog as such. If later on they opt to change their domain they are unable to take the readers because of the lack of ownership.

It is advisable to own a blog and use the free blogging software provided by sites such as Wordpress.com. These platforms also provide bloggers with greater freedom and flexibility like having their own domain name. The expenses involved are fairly affordable as well.

Starting a blog: finding the web host for the blog

The most convenient way to procure a website is to avail the services of a web hosting company that provides quick installation services for forum and blogging software. These platforms enable even inexperienced bloggers to upload quality content fairly easily.

Bloggers willing to avail this option can use the services of websites like Dreamhost and GoDaddy.com that have specialized plans and also take great care in attending to the requirements of the first time bloggers.

In case a blogger is facing budgetary constraints they can go for standard hosting services provided by websites such as 1and1 hosting. These sites have control panels that are easy to use and reliable servers. The bloggers can also explore websites such as typepad.com that offer comparatively more features for small fees.

Starting a blog: finding a proper blogging platform

First time bloggers can use blogging sites such as LiveJournal, Xanga, Blogger, Tumblr, WordPress.com, and Webs. These sites have facilities like push button publishing and already installed templates. The best thing is that the users do not require lot of technical knowledge to use these features.

The advantage of the readymade templates is that the bloggers can opt for a color scheme from among these and design an attractive layout for the blog. Once the blogger decides on the theme he or she can add their names, images, and interests.

They can also try websites such as Pyzam.com or PimpMyProfile.com to get a unique template that can make the blog look even better. Any of the following blogging freebies can be used from sites such as myshoutbox.com for making the blog look even more attractive:

buttons
imoods
images
tagboards
blog chalks
The bloggers can also add the following to get the readers’ viewpoints on their write-ups:

Guest maps
Comment boxes
Guestbooks
The blog can also be made attractive by using free themes named faces from Wordpress. Otherwise, the bloggers can also buy themes that are endowed with better features and are normally available to a select group.

Starting a blog: public or private

A major decision faced by every blogger is whether to make the blog a public or private one, where only friends or other people in the immediate social networking circles will have access. Majority of the blog sites offer password protection services for published posts so that the bloggers can decide who will see the blog.

Starting a blog: the initial phase

In the initial phase the bloggers need to test their write-ups after deciding on the template. Once the bloggers start writing on a regular basis they will see that it has become almost an addiction. They can also make some changes to the style or layout of their platform

Starting a blog: building up a network

An important constituent of a successful blog is the network of the blogger. It is better if the bloggers make it a habit to read other posts and provide their inputs, while providing links to their own work at the same time. They can also send URLs of their blogs to their friends and acquaintances and ensure a steady readership for their work.

Starting a blog: the business aspects

Blogs are a great way to earn nowadays but, for that to happen, the quality needs to improve on a regular basis. The bloggers can also add or remove blogging categories as and when needed or improve the design to make it more design savvy. They can also increase the scope for comments on the blogs to increase user participation in their blogs and making it a more attractive proposition from a financial point of view.

Starting a blog: importance of a good headline

Good and attractive headlines can make all the difference for a blog. For example, if it is technology oriented the blogger can provide readers information on subjects like internet marketing techniques that have not been explained properly in other sites. A nice headline can come in handy in this regard as it can convey the information to the readers and generate some curiosity about the end product.

The bloggers can also use trigger words in order to get readers to their blog. These words are useful when it comes to eliciting a response from the readers and getting them to take a decision, something that might not be possible with normal words. They can also choose to be specific with the titles so that the readers have a good idea of what to expect.

How to Start an NGO


According to rules in India the non profit and charitable entities are registered as societies, trusts, and private limited non profit companies or Section 25 companies. The non profit organizations operate independently from government control and are normally governed by a board of trustees, governing council or managing committee that is made up of people who operate in fiducial roles. 



These organizations normally help ones who are not its members. They can also be deemed as non profit making as they are not permitted to provide their members any form of financial benefits.

How to start a trust

A public charitable trust can be started in India when there is involvement of a certain type of property such as a building or land. These organizations can normally be opened as per the specific Trust Act applicable in the state where the trust will be based. If a state or union territory does not have a Trust Act then the basic ideals embodied in the Trust Act 1882 can be used for the purpose.

The trust deed is the most important component of a public charitable trust and it should contain the aims and various management modes of the same. The trustee deed also specifies the maximum and minimum number of trustees and how they can be employed or removed from their offices.

The trust deed has to be signed by the trustees and settlers in front of a couple of witnesses and it has to be created on non-judicial stamp paper. The worth of this paper will be determined on the basis of the valuation of the said property. There are normally a minimum of two trustees in a trust and they make up the Board of Management.

The people looking to set up the trust need to apply for registration to the official who holds jurisdiction in the region where the trust will be registered. The application form should contain the following details:

Names of trustees
Affidavit
Registration fee (this varies from INR 3 to INR 25, based on the worth of the trust property)
Court fee stamp worth 2 rupees
Information on modes of succession
Consent letter
The applicant will then sign the application form before the superintendent of the regional office of the charity commissioner, the regional officer, or a notary. The form consequently needs to be submitted with a copy of the deed.

How to start a society

The Section 20 of Societies Registration Act 1860 states that the below mentioned societies can be registered as per the Act:

charitable societies
libraries or reading rooms that can be used by the general public
military orphan funds or societies which have been set up at various presidencies in India
public museums and galleries of paintings and other works of art, collection of natural history, inventions, designs, and instruments
societies established for the promotion of science, fine arts, and literature
In general, the societies operating in India function under the Societies Registration Act 1860. However, in some states there are charity commissioners. In these states the Bombay Public Trusts Act also needs to be followed in order to register the society.

In case of the societies the main instruments are the memorandums of association and the rules and regulations that enlist the aims of the society and the way it is going to be managed.

There should be at least 7 members in the managing committee of a society. The managing committee could operate as a governing or executive body or a council. The trustees of a society need to appeal to either the Registrar of Societies, at the state level, or Registrar of Societies’ local office or District Magistrate, at the district level.

Even though the processes of application differ from one state to another, the forms should be submitted with the duplicates of the following and the applicable registration fee:

Memorandum of association and rules and regulations. This need not be put on a stamp paper
Affidavit by the society secretary or president on a non judicial stamp paper worth 20 rupees
Consent letters from every managing committee member
A declaration from the managing committee members that the society funds will only be used for executing its aims and purposes
Authority letter that has been signed by managing committee members

How to start a Section 25 company

The Indian Companies Act 1956’s Sections 25 (1)(a) and (b) state that a Section 25 company can be set up for the promotion of critical domains such as commerce, religion, art, charity, and science. The company thus formed will also be required to use its income and profits for the promotion and the members will not be paid any dividend.

The main instrument in this case is a memorandum and the articles of association. No stamp papers are needed in this case. It should have at least 3 trustees. Its Board of Management operates as a managing committee or board of directors.

The following factors need to be kept in mind while making the application for registering the company:

The application needs to be made for making a name available to the registrar of companies. It should be done in form no. 1A, which should be submitted along with 500 rupees. If the first name suggested is not accepted the applicant should have 3 other names ready in the same application
Once a name is confirmed, a written application should be furnished to the Company Law Board’s Regional Director. The application needs to be provided with the following documents:
a)  3 typewritten or printed copies of the articles of association and memorandum of the prospective company. These should be properly signed by the promoters with their complete name, occupation and address details
b)  A declaration by a chartered accountant or an advocate that the articles of association and the memorandum have been created in accordance with the Act’s rules and requirements concerning matters such as registration
c)  Three copies of a list that has the promoters’ names, work details, and addresses. If the promoter is a firm, then these details of every partner should be provided. Similar details of the prospective board of directors, promoters, and partners have to be provided.
d)  A statement of total assets, along with the approximate worth, and debts owed by the association as applicable on the date of association or 7 days after the same
e)  A statement of expected yearly earnings and expenses of the company-to-be. The sources of income and areas of expenses need to be specified as well.
f)  A statement that provides a short description of the previous accomplishments of the promoters and the work they aim to do following registration as per Section 25
g)  A statement on the reasons for making the application
h)  A declaration by every applicant stating their perfect mental health, absence of criminal records and court cases and suitability as a director as per Companies Act 1956’s Section 203
The applicants need to provide to the registrar of companies, copies of their application and documents that have been provided to the Company Law Board’s Regional Director
Within 7 days of filing the application with the Company Law Board’s Regional Director the applicants are also required to issue at least one notice in the leading English or vernacular daily of the region where the NGO will be registered. This needs to be done as per the prescribed manner.
The regional director can take the decision on providing the license after consultation with concerned authorities, ministry, and departments regarding the objections that may be raised within a period of 30 days of publishing the newspaper notice
