Design your Blogger Template from Scratch.

You might have been noticing since your blogger days that there are certain blogs with really appreciable and innovative content, but are not able to get sufficient traffic, this possibly is due to the outlook of their blog to their users.Now with blogger or Blogspot you can design your template with your innovation and strategy that will lead you to the path of a successful blogger. Though there were ways before to change the header of your Blog, but then they required a little knowledge about CSS (cascading style sheets). Those who are and were using wordpress were allowed to design their header according to their needs and requirement, but now with the introduction of Blogger template designer you can  cross all the boundary of conventional themes and stand out of the masses. How ? lets discuss.

Difficulty:

Nil.

 

Requirements:

• Photoshop,or even paint will work.
  
• A photo editor- I suggest Photoscape.
  
• An Idea!.

Now lets start with paint, I guess all of you might be having it.

• Go to  the template designer and check the size, that is given in your Blog for a header, it depends on the theme of your Blog, you can check the size of the header manually by checking the CSS, Press (ctrl + F) and enter #header, possibly you might find the size, the better way to do so is to use webdeveloper plugin for mozilla firefox or firebug, a must for a web developer. As shown below it gives the size of the header automatically, if you do not want to do all that homework, the estimated header size for a simple blogger template is around 1000x 270 in pixels…

• Now open paint and resize the window meeting the size requirement of your Blog’s Header.

• Matching with blogger Background, choose a color for your Header.
• Write Down the Name of your Blog with Stylish Fonts, if you wish too.
• Now, after you have done that much, you need to open your Photo editor, I suggest you to use photoscape.
• Try out different frames to your Header design…to make it look unconventional. You can apply different textures as in photscape, by the way irfan view has also got good facilities. See the example above, I’ve created my Header using Paint, and I’m sure that you are better than me.

• Now open batch editor in your photoscape. Add images and text to your header to make it appealing, remember not to make it cumbersome as I’ve done.

• Now you are done,you now need to upload it and enjoy the new feel of your Blog.

Few Tips:

• You can make your header Transparent, for that you can use GIMP, photoshop or best I suggest my favorite photoscape.
• Also try to be very simple, if possible do not use enough images and textures as I’ve done, also try to give a 3D look to your header, take a look at the header of few blogs and work accordingly, checkout that of eHow.com….

Basics of Affiliate Marketing-Only BASICS.

First of all we would discuss with you all the different ways of making money online, we recommend you to read this page (“How to earn money online?”) before hovering over to this page…
So after you are able to differentiate between affiliate programs and few other programs now we should move towards the basics of affiliate marketing.
SHASHAco. Simple Tips

What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is same as you are selling some company’s product and you are getting some commission for it, take an example of an Ice-cream vendor, he collects ice-cream trolley containing tasty ice-creams and sells it to its consumers, and at the end when his selling is over he goes to Ice-cream producer company and takes commission, same is with affiliate marketing but here you don’t have to do anything physically, you do not have to interact with your affiliate partner that is product manufacturing company whose product you are selling or promoting, you don’t have to interact with your customers all you need to do is to sell, promote the companies product, I make it clear here that you do not get commission for promoting a product, but the more you promote the more you will be able to find interested buyers.
So now you are clear with what is affiliate marketing. Now we move forward..

What are the pre-requisites?…

All you need to have for becoming an affiliate marketer is a Credit card and a smart Brain, so if you have these two things with you, you can certainly hope to make a good amount of money, if not then at least a decent income as an extra pocket money, if you are a student this is the best way to make some money for your pocket and filling up the bugs for parties, though I would say that the more you investigate on Affiliate marketing the more you will be able to make online, so just don’t expect that opening an account in some affiliate program site, you are done and money will be flowing into your pocket, all it depends on your brain, hence the requisite is a Smart brain.

What to do to get started?….

To get started with affiliate marketing you just need to open an account in clickbank, amazon affiliate programs and ebay, there are many but these three stand out the best… though there are few more ways I would be discussing later, oh yeah later… So after opening an account in any of these three affiliate programs, I would recommend at the start you should just join clickbank as they sell only digital products and customers can use their product immediately after they download. Now you need to open a PayPal account for transferring your money online via net, this PayPal makes you safe from credit card fraud online. Though you have an option of payment through cheque but that’s cumbersome.
After you have your account activated in clickBank and PayPal, simply collect the links from the program you have joined and place them in your blog or static site, remember you need to have a good amount of traffic, I do not posses a good amount of traffic so I am just using facebook for affiliate links, or if you don’t posses a site then place them at your friend’s site or blog for free, these options are free here you need not invest anything. ok! Now what if you don’t have your site or blog?

What if you Don’t have your site or blog?

No worries, all you need to do is to find a blog which has good amount of traffic usually page rank 1,2,3 or more in Google search engine.  Now suppose you have chosen a product related to “6 pack abs”, make a search on Google on how to make six-pack abs, you will see a lot of sites but choose few at the top and look for advertising section, follow the suggestion to get your ad( an image with a link that you have taken from your affiliate program related to “6 pack abs” ) on that site for some money to pay usually $4 for a week or $30 or more for a month… now whenever a visitor to that site clicks on your ad and buys it you get a commission for that, make sure that you have joined a plan which is profitable, we have seen people going into losses, paying more for advertisement and gaining less commission.
The other way is to join the newly launched facebook  targeted ads plan, all you need to have is a facebook account, you might have seen ads at the sidebar in your profile, what you have noticed on those ads, have you seen that those ads do appear according to your interest, for instance if you are interested in dating and you have given this information at the starting of the sign up you will see ads appearing for dating sites and others. So just get busy and try facebook for affiliate programs.
The last option is to open your blog for free. And gain some traffic out there, write few nice and interesting articles for your readers and hope for the best, to know how to have your own blog running click here.
