Well not that J.C but J.C as in John Chow. It was his site i came across several months ago that prompted me into doing something with Babymoon and although my earnings are a far cry from where he`s at it`s actually starting to get some legs and may turn into something yet, more on that later.
John Chow is at the forefront of the ever increasing `Make Money Online` sites the internet has to offer and many of my inspirations and ideas on how to best monetise Babymoon have come from Johns site.
How do i know he knows what he`s talking about you ask? Just have a look at his September figures for his `Make Money Online` blog alone, forget his other business interests. O.K, if you`re too lazy to follow the link i`ll tell you here, he made $20,512.17 during the month of September on the back of having ~ 10,000 readers every day.
Now i`m not suggesting Babymoon is ever going to hit those heights and nor does it need to. What i am interested in is when you search for Babymoon on Google it returns my site on the first page for Google globally and actually it returns the number 1 spot when searching in Australia. What this means to me if you`re searching for a Babymoon then you`re bound to end up at my site which with any luck returns a few bucks my way. Now the next challenge is to get the greater search term of `Pregnancy Massage` to return my site as a top listing.
I`ve employed a few of Johns methods in increasing my site in Googles eyes and it`s risen from outside the top 100 to right up there hovering around page 1 and 2 but lately i decided to reinvest some of the $$$ i`m making online into a few advertising opportunities that have come my way, namely Bloggging the Movie where i bought a sponsorship which gives me;

If nothing else i`m learning a hell of a lot about Web Design, WordPress, Online Advertising and Marketing so it`s a win win … not too mention i`m pulling a few bucks from it, nothing to get too excited about yet but I have a few other projects on the back burner that i may roll out soon.
