PAULA NEAL MOONEY

by Paula Neal Mooney Now that my blessed friend Bonnie Calhoun over at Bonnie Writes showed me that my blog value is in fact increasing -- and not stuck on the $24k I thought it was worth -- by encouraging me to click on the "How Much is Your Blog Worth?" doohickey over there to the left in my sidebar, I've been wondering: How do you sell a blog? (By the way, I had to type in www.paulamooney.blogspot.com to get the highest value, so try different variations of your correct URL with and without the "http:" in front to get your highest blog value.) Googling stuff like "sell my blog," "blogs for sale," "sell your blog," and "blog for sale" will get you enough good tips. But I think these BloggerTalk guidelines in this thread is a good start: 1. This forum is for the listing of blogs which are for sale. Not domain names and not normal web sites (with the exception of domains which have the word "blog" in them an...

by Paula Neal Mooney I can hardly wait to get some text link ads up on this blog. I learned about them thru both Darren Rowse's and Michael Arrington's blogs, so I've been chomping at the bit to get some of that ad revenue as well. Looks like one way bloggers can make money is thru their affiliate program by referring sales to Text Link Ads or by referring publishers to Text Link Ads . They say they "pay out a flat $25.00 for any referred visitor that results in a sale or gets accepted into our publisher program." Now there's the rub! I've submitted this blog and didn't hear anything back in the 24 hours listed, so of course I shot off an email and even considered calling the 1-800 listed but refrained. Before long I got an email and more feedback that said: "This domain has been previously submitted to our publisher program and has not been approved yet. Please note that we re-evaluate all submissions monthly and you will receive an email as so...

If you want to write and sell an e-book for free , here's one way to do it, converting your Microsoft Word (and others?) doc to a PDF file: I created a 50-plus page sample chapter of an eBook which I'm not selling right now (not till the Lord leads me to market it), using this BCL easyPDF Printer Driver . (And they're not paying me to say this, so you can trust -- as always -- that this is a product I believe in.) I use Microsoft Word so I just typed up my document then downloaded the free trial of BCL ebook creator and followed their instructions to print out the doc to a PDF file as opposed to my printer. Unlike other free eBook compilers that splash their logo all across your pages until you buy it, BCL just puts a nice little logo in the bottom right hand corner of your docs. I never did figure out how to create the hyperlinks in my Word doc, maybe I don't have the "MSWord 2000 (or later version) installed in your PC" that BCL requires to do that...
