Ok, so we get so many emails and questions regarding how do you monetize from your blog?

so we are going to give you a really quick and short version with some awesome helpful links where you can find some very cool widgets you can add to your blog.

Also don’t forget if you know of a cool widget that we haven’t added or a way to monetize from your blog, let us know about it.

1. First golden rule POST!! POST!! POST!! I can not tell you enough how important it is for you to post and post and post. Come in atleast once a week and add a new post to your blog, doesnt have to be long, doesnt have to be deep and philosophical. But if you don’t post, then you wont have readers, and if you dont have readers, you can have all the ads and widgets in the world, but without readers there is noone to click them and there fore no money.
2. Promote - Promote your blog, add a link to your face book, myspace, bebo etc. Tell your friends, join blog directories.. Promote your blog by submitting it to search engines.
   • Here are some cool links you can go to promote your blog.
     • http://pingomatic.com/ - send ping to large directories that you have a new post on your blog.
     • www.blogcatalog.com - a blogging directory - list of blogs online’
     • www.bloghub.com/ - another blog directory
     • www.blogdirs.com/
     • www.totalblogdirectory.com/
3. Widgets - you can add custom widgets to your website easily. Go to your plugins page in the blog admin. You will see a plugin called “My Custom Widget” activate it.  Now go to design, in your blog admin and you will see a link called ” My Custom Widget” you can now create your own html widgets easily and add them to your page wherever you like.  To add a widget type a name for it and then click on the pencil. A box will appear. in that box put your custom html.  then click on the flash disk to save.  Now go to your widgets page and the new widget will automatically appear there. (under the name you just gave it. We will soon have tutorials soon.
4. Some cool widgets to use are :
   • My Blog Log - Recent Reader List =
   • Scratchback Top list = Sell your links for $5 each.
   • Text Link Ads
   • Amazon Associates
   • Google Adsense
   • Feedjit - Adds a map of recent visitors
   • Blog Explosion
   • ClustrMaps is another map of recent visitors with more options and probably a little more accurate.

If you find any others let us know about them. We would love to try them out.

Now don’t forget the golden rule and that is ” In the end you can promote your blog to high heaven, but unless you post on a regular basis, your content gets old, and you will loose on PR. So keep it fresh, keep it interesting, dont bore your blog viewers with endless of pages of useless boring blogs, keep them interesting as if talking to a friend, and enjoy blogging. Thats the main one.”

So happy blogging everyone.

The Native Blogging network would like to give an official apology, to all our previous native blog users.

We unfortunately had to reinstall our website and lost all previous blogs that was hosted on Nativeblogs.info.

Our server was hacked and a virus was found. This virus corrupted all the files and any chances of back up.

We did do our best to try and save the data, but unfortunately each time we tried restore the back ups, errors continued to occur.

We do have a list of blog names that were hosted on Nativeblogs.info and usernames. If you re-register with the same username and blog name, we will write a review about your blog and post links all over our network to your blog. Our network extends over 9 websites. Those websites range from Pr 4 to Pr 1.

We will be taking precautions from now on and back ups will be made daily, with an extra back up that will be ftp to another server for extra security.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.
