I want to show you another way you can make money on your blog. This is a way I have not seen used very much. I have only seen it used a couple of times and I am only just starting to use it on my blog.

You have seen signatures in forum posts and you have seen signatures on ezinearticles but you will rarely see signatures on blog posts. Adding a signature to your blog post can be an effective way to make money. Here are a few ways you can make money by adding a signature to your blog posts

How To Write An Ebook In One DayJanuary 5

Hey guys, my name is Ryan McLean and I am going to be a contributor here on The University Kid. I know that I am no Jason, but I know quite a bit about the IM niche. So if you want to find out more ways to make money online then you should read what I have to write.

Jason has talked a lot about how to market and sell your own products. You can view what he has written here and here. These are the perfect guides to get you making money from your products.

But what if you do not have a product? What if you are struggling to write your own ebook. Well I am going to show you how to create an ebook in just one day and start making money from it. 

1. Have an Idea

In order to begin writing your ebook you need to have an idea of what you want to make. You should be educated in the niche you are writing in (or know how to research well) and it helps if you have had some success in that area. For example if you are writing an ebook about making money online you should already be making money online.

2. Remove Distractions

In order to write the full ebook you need to remove distractions. This means you might need to turn the TV off or even turn the internet off so you are not tempted to browse the internet. Get yourself in a quiet room where you

Blog Blazers - Learn From Successful BloggersDecember 31 2008

Sorry for putting out another seemingly promotional post in a row, but there are lessons to be learned from this one I assure you.

A couple months ago Stephane Grenier contacted me, wanting some buzz for his new blogging book (an actual physical book) and asked if I’d review it if he sent me a copy. It looked a decent product, so I agreed.

Anyways - I got the book a week or so ago - you can see a picture of it below. Camera quality is a bit shit, but hey, it arrived which is a bonus considering the postal system here.

Anyways… first, let me talk about the book.

The book consists of interviews with forty top marketers - not just bloggers, but also those that make money online through product sales, real business deals and other things. Some of the interviewees that you guys probably will have heard of are Aaron Wall (SEOBook), Seth Godin, Yaro Starak (Entrepreneur’s Journey), Trent Hamm (The Simple Dollar) and Stephane Grenier himself. You

RantBlogger - Get Paid to RantDecember 28 2008

This is a paid plug of a unique website that I have personally looked over and liked the idea behind it. If you are interested in ordering a paid plug, please check out the Advertise page.

When 99% of blogs fail to stand out, discovering a unique blog is rare and refreshing.

RantBlogger is a good example of this. They pay their readers to write rants on whatever topics piss them off and then publish the best ones. They call it Cash for Rants and here are the details:

• Submit rants about whatever you want
• Humorous and serious rants are accepted
• No minimum or maximum length
• Wait about 1-3 days for rants to be reviewed
• PayPal payments of $5-$10 per published rant

The rants are read by a small review panel and then voted on to make sure only the best rants are paid for and published. Humorous rants are especially favored. Although a lot of the rants on
RantBlogger are great (e.g. the

Whats The Deal With The TUK Sale? And Various Blog ScrewupsDecember 23 2008

A few of you saw that the auction ended with the highest bid at $5,000, which was around $2.5k short of the reserve. Although there are a few tentative buyers, as of today the blog has not been sold and it doesn’t look like it will either.

I listed it twice, once under established sites for sale, once under premium. As is the usual case with these kinds of sites, most discussion was private… I had quite a few buyers contacting me via PM on Sitepoint, some via instant messenger and some via email. As some have asked what the process was like, I thought it would be better if I covered it here.

The market is rubbish right now.

You still CAN sell sites, I have done without problems for most of mine and there are sites selling. However, if you look at Sitepoint, at Digital Point, on eBay, and the other standard website selling places, you’ll notice that less sites of the same quality are selling than before.

Why?

Partly because the market is getting a tad saturated… cookie cutter sites with no revenue will sell for less than they were a few months ago, although they will sell if the auction is good… but mainly because it’s the Christmas season. It’s difficult for people to spend $100, $200, $500 on a site when they’ve just blown a lot of money on presents, vacations etc. Try doing stuff after around the 10th of January and you should see a lot more success.

If you DO want to sell sites now, make them stand out, add somet
