I found an interesting poll held by Darren Rowse at Pro-blogger blog. The poll is about how much is your earning since October. It’s a nice question and I happen to vote my voice into the poll too.

After voting, I saw something interesting in the result. I found the highest vote went to:

• I don’t make money blogging, and
• Under $10

Make money under $10 online for a month is not a great news. While many other vote goes to $100 - $499, Earning $10 for the entire October is just way too small.

That’s why I think we must shift our thinking about blogging. Many bloggers around the world rely on Google Adsense too much. Yes, it’s a free money and easy to apply. But it’s not how you begin your money making journey if you want to earn more then $10.

I’m also making this mistake at first. But I’m finally realized that I must combine several effort and tactics to make more than $10 a month, or even $10 a day!

It’s no secret, the only (free & fast) way to achieve the goal is to do affiliate marketing combined with article marketing. Your blog will become the host of your affiliates source, and promote it with article marketing at several free directories to gain conversion and sales.

But it won’t happen overnight. You will need to set a goal to promote your blog (containing Affiliate links or your other money source) with several articles a day.

These directories that bring results for me, but I cannot guarantee they will bring you results:

• Articlecity.com
• Goarticles.com
• Ezinearticles.com
• Articlealley.com
• Articledashboard.com

There are so many article directory out there. You can try to search on Google with this keyword: “article directory” (with quote).

Your task is to submit at least 2 articles a day to the article directory and you will begin to see some sales in the next 2-3 weeks (and continue to make sales if you persistence on the task).

It’s sound easy, right?

Well, 1 warning for you. NEVER use article submitter software to submit your articles to hundred of article directories. Search Engines will banned you because of duplicate contents and you will never receive any traffic from them.

So, when you will you achieve the stats of $10 a day?

Let’s say you promote a great product/service for $100 and the merchant pay you 50% of the sales price. If you manage to sell 1 product every 5 days, that’s mean $10 a day!

Is selling 1 product every 5 days difficult?

Yes, if you don’t know how to write a pre-selling letter. That’s why you need to learn. Making money online is easy, if you keen to learn and keen to practice.

If you just sit around and hoping there is a magic happening on your life, forget about making money online. You won’t reach $10 just by lying down in your comfort zone and hoping for magic.

I recommend you to read Ken Evoy’s Preselling Book. Although it’s an old book, it’s still work like charm!
