There is a new ebook on the market about making money using free blogs online and is fast climbing up the popularity ranks.

The tagline for this ebook is "Make Mounds of Money Blogging Part-Time", and the author apparently makes $9000 a month for one affiliate product. So the question is whether or not "The Blogging Cash Machine", by Danny Warner, actually makes good on its promises. As a guy who has made a full-time income from exclusively free methods, I decided to investigate.

Section 1 -- Keyword Research and Selecting your Niche Market

A very thorough introduction to the bread-and-butter of founding a successful blog, accessible enough for even the greenest of newbies to understand. Warner even explains what a keyword actually is, before telling you exactly how to find good keywords and providing a formula on how to assess whether or not they will be profitable. An excellent start and very reassuring to those who consider themselves technologically-challenged.

Section 2 -- Setting up your Blog

Once again, Warner doesn't spare the detail. He tells you exactly what blogs are, compares the different blog platforms (such as Blogger and Wordpress), and then goes into rich detail about how to effectively set them up. This is as step-by-step as it gets, but without compromising on the little tips and tricks that you can make on your blog's settings to boost your profit margin.

Section 3 -- Monetising your Blog

This section is one of the highlights of the ebook. As we have now come to expect, Warner starts off by simply explaining what methods are available to make money from your blog, ensuring no reader is left behind. Then he walks you step-by-step on how to add affiliate links and Google Adsense. Now this is really standout, because Warner uses colourful diagrams to show us exactly where the Adsense should be placed and, thankfully, tells us exactly where to cut and paste our code in order to achieve maximum profitability. This gives you incredible versatility, and it is utterly paint-by-numbers; read the instructions and apply as directed.

Section 4 -- Generating Content for your Blog

This section covers the information to put in your blog. Warner provides some neat templates, so you should never be short of ideas on how to structure your content. It is also explained how to use PLR articles, outsourcing articles, using forums and many other methods. On top of all of that, there is a guide on how to optimize your content to provide good rankings for your posts.

Section 5 -- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for your Blog

Now we get to the juicy bit. "The Blogging Cash Machine" makes it incredibly simple to quickly set up a blog, add content and monetise it. But that won't be worth squat if you can't drive traffic to your site. This is where SEO comes in, and Warner doesn't even spare the kitchen sink. You'll learn about - and how to - add back links, anchor text, blog submission, directory listing, articles, press releases and forums. And as though it isn't enough to give complete step-by-step guides to all of these methods, you also get relative lists of resources so you know exactly where to do your submitting and general SEO.

Section 6 -- Advanced SEO Strategies that will take you to the Top of the Search Engines

The final chapter deals with very dynamic techniques to boost your blog from mediocrity to dominating the search engines. I can't give away too much about what Warner writes here for obvious reasons, but they are certainly very viable methods he has written about.

My Conclusion:

Danny Warner drives $9000 or more in affiliate sales each month, primarily from blogs. It is accepted that people can make a full-time living online, even from free methods. The question here then, is whether or not "The Blogging Cash Machine" will help you do that.

As an internet marketer who has read more than his fair share of eBooks, this is one of the finest I have ever come across - and I don't hand out favours for free. "The Blogging Cash Machine" is remarkable because of its utter accessibility and sheer depth. Although it is a reasonably streamlined ebook that won't take you more than an hour to finish, it is packed with juicy strategies from start to finish. And it is written in an entirely newbie-friendly way that doesn't isolate more experienced marketers.

If you cannot make back the money you spend on this ebook by a score of tenfold, then you may as well forget about using the internet as a means of making a living from home!
