My brain never stops working!

You see, I easily get bored and often wonder…. How else can I make extra money???

Who doesn’t want to make more money by only working a couple extra hours a day? I know I do and I am always coming across people who make $5,000 a month, $10,000 a month, $100,000 a month, $600,00 a month. All in US Dollars.

I want to know how I can make that much money myself, so I often try new things, but I don’t just jump at the first singn of a money making opportunity, I usually wait a year or two of doing research, reading testimonials and seeing results.

I don’t want to just jump into something and not know what I’m getting into. I love my money and I love to take care of it.

But the thought does cross my head… “If they do it, why can’t I?” I’d be happy wit an additional $5,000 USD a month… Who wouldn’t?

Most of these people that I am talking about are Bloggers! I have been following other professional bloggers for 3 years now and have seen some, such as Yaro Starak, Entrepreneurs-Journey.com take his blog from making a few thousand dollars a month to now claiming to Make over $10,899.83 in September of 2008!!!

How do they make money???

Besides blogging everyday, they teach people how to do their craft through a Membership site where their students pay them a  monthly fee, sometimes it’s a one time payment, but most people chose to pay monthly as it is easier on the pocket book.

Here’s how it works…

1. Action: They build great content on their blog daily.
   Result: People read their blog posts, love what they read, in some instances use their content to improve their blog, their business, or their lives. In turn, since they love what they read, they share it with their friends and family!
2. Action: They build an email list of followers.
   Result: Bloggers can keep their readers up to date with what’s going on, what’s new, what’s hot, what’s coming up… etc… Now you may ask yourself, why would they do that if they already have a lot of readers on their blog?? Well simple, not everyone visits their blog everyday, so by sending a quick email to their list, the blogger  can remind his readers to visit the blog when a new article or a new review has been posted. Maybe another great bloggin guru has released a new product that might interest the blogger’s readers. Through an affiliate program, the blogger can make recommendations to products that he would use, has used, or thinks his readers in his email list can use. If his readers buy the product, he makes a commission.
3. Action: They create a membership site.
   Result: By creating a membership site, the blogger, or creator of the membership site, can teach his followers the secrets behind how he makes money online. It is usually a step-by-step, detailed series of videos that the student can follow and create his own blog or even his own membership site.
4. Action: Build Testimonials from people who went through his course.
   Result: Encourage other, non-believers, or hesitant people to take an action an purchase the membership course next time they re-launch it or re-open it. When the non-believers ee that soneone already has purchased the course and used it to great success, the non-beliver will easily convert to a believer.

Why is this relevant to you and your wedding business???

Well, if you notice, 3 out of the 4 steps I described above, I have re-modeled and used on my Houston Wedding DJ Business and my Photo Booth Business , My Up Light Rental division of my Wedding DJ Business. I have a Blog: Brides who read it are almost instantly filled with confidence about my experience and are so ready to book my services, it’s unbelievable sometimes. I have a list of brides:  If you remember, I posted a few days ago about not being able to keep up with the number of brides that inquire on my website, well I use an email list to keep track of them. I use testimonials: Who doesn’t understand the power of well written testimonials?

Now, you remember I told you I get bored easily? My brain is ticking and thinking…

How can I use the all 4 steps above with my brides???

How can I create a membership site for my brides?

I have a few concepts, of which I am not ready to share, hell, I have not even put them to test myself… But once I do, I’m sure it will be a success just like the other 3 action steps I have discussed above.

So see for yourself, read other professional bloggers and get an idea of what they do to make money online and how they actually do it. Most of the time they are just eager to tell you how they do it so that you can pay them to teach you how you can do it yourself.
