How to Make Money The Honest Way

The Honest Way is an informational and educational site with lots of articles and tutorials on how to get started in business online and make money along the way.

If you look at The Honest Way Articles Page, you’ll see a whole lot of useful and informative articles to help you in that department. The Honest Way Forum is there to help anyone who needs it and they can’t find what they need in amongst the articles. It’s also the social get together meeting place for my friends online where we can talk about marketing strategies and the best ways of generating income from the internet.

There is also an The Honest Way Resources Page where I promote some really first class products that will also help you enormously in your online endeavours to make money from the internet.

That leaves this blog.

Well, this is the place that I get to write on a daily (more or less) basis on the things that I know about how to make money online, outside resources that are of interest, competitions, contacts, other friends’ blogs and so forth. It is also a place where I can get on and make money too.

You might have noticed that recently, since this place got its PR upgrade I’ve been writing a few more reviews. Well, however much I enjoy doing what I do online it also makes me happy to actually make money while I’m doing it. The PR hike means I can do some more of it and increase my ability to make money at the same time.

I’ll try to stay on topic or as close to as is sensible with the reviews and if a rather well paid review comes along that I really shouldn’t turn down on common sense grounds, then I’ll make sure I word it so that it can somehow be construed as pertaining to the online business world, which I think is fair enough. Obviously, I’m not going to start blogging about pet accessories or ladies fashions here. That would be downright blatantly off-topic and silly. So bear with me while I make some money to pay for and justify all the time I spend in front of this thing!

Also, for every paid review I do, I promise to follow it with at least one good post.

The good news is that my newer blog, Make Money has finally come of age (in paid review terms) and I’ve just submitted it to PayPerPost. It’s PR3 means it’s sure to be accepted quickly which means I’ll be able to spread the reviews over two blogs, with more actually going over there. After all, its main function and whole reason for existing is to live up to its name and make money!

Which, at the end of the (very long) day is what being an Internet Marketer is all about.

You might have noticed a small surge in paid reviews here at The Honest Way over the last couple of days. Well, it’s just me doing what I need to do to make up for a lot of lost time in reimbursing myself for all the hard work and time I’ve put into this blog and website.

The whole theme of the website is on how to make money online and part of that process involves writing for reward. I still write off-site for Constant Content (link in my sidebar) and a few other places, but since the page rank increase here, it would be stupid of me to pass up the much greater selection of paid reviews that are on offer for this blog.

I won’t let it inundate the blog either, as I’m also intelligent enough to realize that people don’t always want to read nothing but reviews of other places, businesses and so forth, so I’ll make sure that for every paid review there will be a minimum of one good post to make up for it.

Obviously, I can’t be writing reviews every day, or I’d probably go insane, so there is a physical limit to the amount I can write and still stay enthusiastic about this website.

So don’t be alarmed or think I’ve sold out just to make a few bucks at the expense of this site. No way, man! I’ve put too much into this to do that.

The Honest Way Blog has been around for several months now in this layout and format and it’s quite a pleasant place. But lately, there seems to be a bit of a trend around with many bloggers changing their complete template.

Is this really necessary?

Is it because there are now some very professional looking blog templates available with three columns? Admittedly they give you more space for advertising. Or more space to fill up with something, at any rate. Or is it just a case of the grass looking greener on the other side of the fence? Is that why I’m even contemplating giving myself a whole load of work in changing the entire look of this blog.

And if I change the look of the blog, should I then go the whole hog and change the look of my entire site? As the main site is something I built myself (taken from a free template but extensively re-written by me) it would be a step backwards to have the entire site built out of a WordPress template, because that would beg the question “Why did I go to all the trouble to learn how to build websites in the first place?”

Or should I leave the site as is and just change the blog?

I need some people to talk me out of this (or otherwise). What do you think?

Leave me a comment and let me know should I keep this blog the way it is or change it.

The Honest Way and its Blog both got some well deserved love from Google today in the form of a PR3 page ranking!

Thank you Google!

This is great news for the site in general and this blog in particular, as it means I got the recognition for all my hard word in writing a ton of content and promoting this place hard in all the right places.

It’ll mean good things in the pipeline for The Honest Way as the blog can now make money with some of the monetization ideas that I have planned for it. This makes it all the more interesting for me and I’ll be passing on my ever enduring enthusiasm for this site to you, the readers of this blog in continued quality posts and informative articles.

I’d also like to mention that my JV partner Monika Mundell also got a PR3 for her site The Writers Manifesto and blog, so congratulations to her too.

Which leads me on to another congratulations for our JV social networking site Blogging Web 2.0, which at the tender young age of barely a month, just got a PR2!

That just proves that Google is constantly changing the way it rewards sites with page rank and it’s now pretty certain they are rewarding sites that put up a lot of good, relevant content and not just because they’ve been around for a long time and bought themselves a load of back-links. True and natural is the way to go people! A good site will get the recognition it deserves, so write lots of good content for your site and don’t ever copy (plagiarize) other people’s stuff and you’ll do well too.

So good times are ahead – stick with me and we’ll all go far!
