Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of participating in several interviews. One of the most common questions I’m asked was also asked by well known names in the affiliate marketing world.

There’s really no major secret to my online success really, a simple search of my name reveals darn near everything — including the niche topics I focus on. In much the same fashion as the famed blogger, Darren Rowse, I’ve chosen to take the same approach in not over talking my niche too much.

If you’re one of the few interested in knowing the various ways I monetize my blogs, you can find all those ‘not so secret secrets’ revealed on my My Money Makers page.

I’ll keep that page updated with changes to my monetizing status — if I add a program, it will be listed. If I find one is just not working for me anymore, I’ll remove them. Occasionally I will share a glimpse inside the actual profits and share what I am making and with what.

I truly have nothing to hide and hope to share what I’ve learned along the way with anyone who would like to work from home, so if you have a question you’d like answered, please don’t hesitate to ask!

K?

While I may be a seasoned blogger, I believe it’s important to take time, revisit programs and tools you use to become familiar with the changes they’ve made since you began using them.

Feedburner is just such a tool.

I’ve always known that it’s a must have tool – but I’d no idea there were so many valuable changes since I began 5 years ago. Sure, I’d dip into my account once in a while to see how many readers I had, but never to dig deep and pick apart all the latest offerings. Wow – was I amazed.

I spend a couple of days adding a better RSS feed to all my blogs via Feedburner. Wow, do I love what they offer! Feedburner can’t help you get set up, but what they can do is – once you are set up, they provide the easiest tools to Optimize, Publicize, Monetize, Analyze and Troubleshootize your blog.

What’s more, Feedburner offers an awesome and entertaining blog that makes even the newest beginner feel comfortable moving forward with their tools.
