If you are looking for another way to make money online, you may want to stop and check out Online Earning Opportunities. Simply put, this is another marketing blog and offers you user-friendly advice and tips on how to make money with your blog, as well as other opportunities to make money online. You can see this for yourself through any of its recent bloggeries: Entrecard vs. Alexa, ClickBooth – A Review of CPA Site, Kiiji Local Classifieds, BuyBlogReviews.com – Paid to Blog Site, and Earn Money Writing for Encylocentra.
The blog is well organized in a very simple blog theme which makes it easy to navigate. The structure is such that bloggeries are left marginalized and there is a double-wide navigation system to the right. Bloggeries are black text on white background and the theme and border around the bloggeries is a tan khaki color. There is a simple top navigation system for basic pages such as Home, Blogroll, and Contact Me. In the right navigation system you will find on the left side a Categories Menu and a My Blog Log Widget. In the right side, there is a Archives Menu, Recent Posts Menu, Recent Comments Menu, Entrecard, and Advertising. The Categories menu is comprehensive and includes categories such as Affilliate Marketing Sites, Blog/Website Development, Classifieds, Cost Per Action, Link Building, Marketplace, and many more.
Overall I give this blog a 2.6/5 with just a few suggestions. The blog is well organized and the blog contains all necessary blog meat and thus does well for navigation. The only thing I would change there is to combine both navigation bars into one, as currently both bars are only about half full and this leaves a lot of white space on the page. I would also add an About page to one of the menu systems so that the blogger connects a little more personally with their readers and thus increasing their readership. The appearance of the blog does need some work, and primarily this is in the advertising area and header. Nothing says professional like a custom header that is a form of branding. Having blank text takes away from the credibility. Regarding advertising the blog has an ad embedded in the footer of the blog which is very distracting and makes the blog slow to load. The blog also has so much advertising that in some areas it is difficult to understand what is blog content and what is advertising. The word ‘Archives’ in the navigation system is also spelled incorrectly which may seem unprofessional to some readers and it does affect the appearance of the blog. The content however is well-written in an excellent user-friendly tone that readers will be able to identify with and learn from, but if the blogger wants regular traffic, more updates in the form of daily content are recommended.

If you are looking for more ways to make money online, and have not yet found a comprehensive website to do so, then you need to take a look at Empire Dot Com, a blog dedicated to revealing the insider secrets of making money online. This emphasizes with fervence that the dot com industry is one that is only getting stronger. The blogger offers you a personalized about page including signature right on the home page where he discusses how he wants to teach his readers something that will take you and your Internet efforts to the next level. He promises that this blog will give you powerful marketing knowledge that will help you move your business to the next level.

The blog offers several navigation systems making it very easy to navigate. The top system provides links to Home, Article Resource, Membership, Archives, and Contact Me. A sub top menu offers you Recent Posts Menu, Clickbank Ads, and how to subscribe to the RSS Feed. In the right navigation system you will find Advertising, Entrecard, Recent Comments, Archives Menu, Blog Awards, and a comprehensive categories menu offering you categories such as Affilliate Marketing, Affilliate Tools, Atomic Blogging, Blogging, Copywriting, and Marketing Development among many more. The blog’s appearance is bold and colorful, with large headlines in red and advertising that complements the blog content rather than distract from it. Though there are not many pictures associated with the bloggeries, the blog’s design and template compensates for that.
This blog will get a 4.4/5 from me, as it is an excellent resource and quite accomplished given its youth. The blog is only a few months old, and offers content and navigation that is above par. The bloggers conviction is strong and this is relayed in its content, appearance, navigation and organization of the blog. Bloggeries are coming in daily for the most part with only one or two exceptions, and the content is in a strong, user-friendly personal voice that many marketers can relate to. I do also like the personal touch of the about page with attached signature on the home page, as this makes the blogger readily accessible to his readers. Overall, this blog is an excellent example of how a business blog / internet marketing blog should look like, and I am sure that in the coming months this blogger will see much success and growth with his blog.

You really can never get too much education from other people’s experiences, and Affiliate Confession is a blog that is guaranteed to prove that theory. Meet Alan, the blogger, who has set up Affiliate Confession as a means of telling you about his journey of network marketing, affiliate marketing, and working from home for the past 3.5 years. The blog is a little different than most make money blogs however, and is going to give you a no-holds barred approach to affiliate marketing. You will learn some value and tips from Alan, but he will be honest about how difficult affiliate marketing is, and how the ‘gurus’ are really loading you a bunch of ‘crap’ with their advice. Alan is not holding back about affiliate marketing or anything else. He tells you the whole story, and because he has been at it for a while, he knows how you can make an honest $2500 a month. See how he does it through his most recent bloggeries: Build a Niche Store v3.0 Update, Work is Progressing on New Custom Wordpress Theme, Why I Like The Ebay Affiliate Program, Lessons in Perseverance Part 4, Should I Start a Blog or Build a Website? and Take the 30 Day Blogging Challenge.
Although there is some work in progress on the site’s theme and design change, the site currently offers a clean appearance with well-organized template that makes navigation very easy. Bloggeries are left marginalized and there are two right sided navigation bars. Bloggeries are in black text on white background and links stand out (but not too much so) in a bold red color. In the left sided navigation bar, you will find advertising, Categories Menu, and an Archives Menu. The Categories Menu offers just about everything you would expect in an affiliate marketing blog, and includes information on advertising, affiliate programs, clickbank, commission junction, contests, ebooks, AdSense, AdWords, and so many more. In the far right navigation bar there is subscription information, Entrecard, advertising, and a Top Commenters menu. Most bloggeries are accompanied with some sort of relevant picture or advertising to give meaning to the post.
I will go with a 4.6/5 for this one. Right off the bat, I really liked the concept of the blog, and the honest approach of the blogger. This kind of honest voice lends credibility to the posts and as such, he is likely to see some solid success through the blog. Moving through the posts you get a good feel for how well he does with his home business, and this again lends credibility to the blog. The appearance of the blog is clean and organized which also lends to the navigation scores. I do see a little more white space in the navigation bars than I generally like. Content is well written and user friendly for the reader. It is consistent in activity as well which is also serving its readership well. Overall, if you are interested in an honest no holds barred approach to affiliate marketing, Affiliate Confession looks like it is ready to serve you up just that.

If you are looking for a fresh approach on an old concept, making money online, then you will want to check out the latest money making blog that is being reviewed by Bloggeries. The blog is called Make Money Online with EJ Cooksey, and can be found on its own domain at . The blogger is EJ Cooksey who is a work at home mom, whose industry is primarily the Internet. Given that she runs approximately 13 blogs, and is heavy into affiliate marketing, she is probably very good at it, which lends some credibility to her blogging advice. This blogger has a lot of interests however, and they include reading, family, and ‘making a million dollars online’ among many other interests that she has. Get an idea for what EJ Cooksey and her blog is all about by looking at any of her recent bloggeries: A to Z and a Simple 1,2,3; Earn 100% Commission with George Plus’s Dime Sale; Have a Wonderful Easter!; Motivation and Momentum; Will you Find all the ‘Hidden’ Freebies?; A Little Biz Can Make Big Money Online; FREE Internet Marketing Products and Downloads!; It’s My Blogaversary!;, Inspiring Irish Blessing; Review – Roboform; and 11 Useful Tips for How to Use the Secret!
The blog is neatly laid out into boxes that contain the blog meat, and this makes it easy to navigate. You will find a top menu bar, as well as a left and right sided navigation system, with bloggeries being centralized. In the top menu bar, you will find links to Home, Money Makers, Favorite Sites, Freebies, About Me, Contact, Disclosure Policy, and Privacy Policy. Bloggeries are in black text on the yellow background of the boxes, and the header of the blog is in green, which is to make you think of money and making money while you are there. In the left sided navigation bar you will find the Blogger Profile; Subscription buttons; Recommended Money Makers; Recommended Products and Programs Menu; Free Reports, Programs and Ebooks Menu; Categories Menu (called Labels); Archives Menu, and a Recent Entrecard Droppers Widget. The blog is a very informative and comprehensive blog which you can see in its extensive categories menu which will direct you to sections such as 100% Referral Commissions, Affilliate Marketing, Blog Reviews, Contests, Copywriting, Daily 3$ Special, and so much more. The right sided navigation systems is used strictly for Entrecard purposes as well as some advertising and AdSense.
This blog gets a 3.4/5 at this point with just a few suggestions to offer. Overall this is a well organized blog with a clean template and thus it scores well on navigation scores. Content is well written in a strong personal voice that is credible for the reader. Activity scores are lacking a little as the blog is averaging around 15 or 16 posts a month, and scores would be higher with regular, meaning daily, activity. The appearance scores of the blog could use some work, as this blog has quite extensive advertising located throughout the entire blog, and this reviewer found it more than a little distracting. I understand the function of the blog is to make money, but throughout the entire read during the review, I kept feeling like someone was trying to ‘sell me’ something. Otherwise however, this is a well organized blog, and comprehensive in the amount of information it puts out. With regular activity, it should be able to maintain and sustain a healthy readership over time.
