I have always had a talent for writing, and only a few years ago, one of my ‘techie’ friends suggested that I could be making use of my skills online. He told me that if I wrote a blog that was really popular then I would be able to monetise it by way of linking through to affiliates, who would pay me a percentage of any deals that they made after a buyer had come through my page. This seemed like a great idea to me and I decided to take the plunge.
I started writing a blog about football with the plan of introducing a betting affiliate which would link through from my site. This all sounded good in theory but three months down the road I was struggling. Although my content was great, I didn’t have a clue about how to optimise my site. By this time though, I could see that my site would be generating a lot of traffic if it was at all visible in the search results, so I decided to take a risk and hire freelancers to carry out some optimisation on my site. I searched out a website that advertised freelance workers and within about half an hour I had found about five people who I thought looked up to the job.
For a great price I got a really well optimised site, and my site is now behaving as I always thought it could!
