Monitetizing Your Blog
Yesterday I found this pretty nice bit of information. The more research I did the more I realized it would be something I could monetize. The problem was … I really had no idea how to do that.
People are so skeptical today, and they really should be. Imagine getting a phone call from someone saying, “Hi, my name is Joe and I found $7,000 of unclaimed money in your name.”

Of course that approach would probably not work. Too bad because if there was a way I could get a percentage of the unclaimed funds I’d start making phone calls. Lots of money out there just sitting and collecting dust.
I finally decided to share the information with people via video in order to encourage them to join the newsletter on the blog that contains financial resources.
There are several ways this video is going to help me.
1. It will drive traffic to my site directly from Youtube, Metacafe etc…
2. It will encourage people to join my newsletter by building trust in what I have to say because I just shared with them one pretty awesome tip.
3. Other people will place my video on their blogs and I’ll get more traffic.
The more traffic I get, the more Adsense I’ll earn, plus I have several affiliate programs and CPA offers I’m testing out.
What’s the point?
When you find something valuable, don’t be afraid to share it with people freely. This is what the wealthy affiliates are doing when they launch their new products. They share some really great tips for free and give you more if you join their newsletter.
Then they continue to give you more free tips in order to entice you to buy their product. This works very well.
If you’re wondering about unclaimed money that may be in your name, just go to Google and type in the keyword search term ,unclaimed money plus your state. It’s as easy as that. Some states have a really poor database and you won’t be able to look up that information online. However, there are plenty of stats where you can find this information quite easily.
In just 15 minutes I found over $10,000 of unclaimed money, including death benefits from what I think is from my grandmother that passed away years ago. It’s amazing how much money is unclaimed. I saw quite a few people in just one list that included my maiden name with over $5,000 in their name unclaimed.
I’m pretty sure people are going to enjoy that video and tell others about it. I’m hoping it goes viral. Maybe it won’t, but there are places that charge $39.00 for the information I just put on a video for free.
I have to get my newsletter for this blog up and running before I can upload the video. I’ll let you know how well the video does and if it helps my overall traffic and profits on that site.
