We are going to look at another money making blog, sort of, called Online Opportunity. The one thing online marketers will like that separates this money making blog from the others is that it functions to offer you experience from opportunities. In other words, the blogger has established this site to illustrate that making money online doesn’t have to be expensive, but it does require work. The blogger reviews opportunities, and advises his readership of what looks good, and what looks like scams. As he says, he spends the money and takes the risk, so that you don’t have to. Overall, the blogger hopes to steer you in the direction of opportunities that have a better chance of working for you, to ensure that you do not become discouraged in your quest to make money online. You can see for yourself how the blogger is working hard for you through any of his recent bloggeries: The Best Places to Advertise?, Becoming a Qualified Google Advertising Professional, November’s Neglected Niche site Progress, 12 Days of Marketing Christmas Update, How to Succeed in Internet Marketing, Making Link Exchanges Work, Site Build It! Day 6, A Better WordPress Ping Plugin, and the 12 Days of Marketing Christmas. What I really enjoyed when I was reading through the bloggeries was how the blogger adds a disclaimer to every bloggery indicating that the blog is supported through sales and not advertising. He does not hide the fact on how his blog is monetized and simply asks for your support in the process. I found this honesty lent quite a bit of credibility to the blog off the bat, and enhanced my reading as I reviewed the blog.
The blog is well laid out in a clean template and blog design that makes it very easy to navigate. Bloggeries are left marginalized and there are two right handed navigation systems. The bloggeries are black text on white background and links are highlighted in blue as are all headlines. In the left sided navigation bar are subscribe and contact information, Recent Posts Menu, Popular posts Menu, Categories Menu, and a Top Commenters Menu. In the right sided navigation system there is advertising, Featured Posts Menu, from the Blogosphere Widget, and Recent Readers widget. The blog also contains easy to navigate top and bottom navigation systems in the header and footer. In the top navigation bar there is an About page, Comment Guidelines, Recommended Websites, Featured Opportunities, and Contact information. In the footer, you will find the Archives Menu and Site Stats.
This blog is getting a 5/5 from me as it scores perfectly on all accounts. The content is fresh and unique and comes with a strong personal voice that lends the reviews and information a great deal of credibility. For a blog of this niche, credibility is difficult to come by so the blogger has done very well establishing that for himself. Appearance wise the blog scores well, and the personal taste to this blog ensures it scores well for unqiueness as well. Activity is coming in daily with regular bloggeries, so the blogger is doing well to sustain its readership. And with its clean template and varied navigation bars, the navigation on this blog is very easy. I hope this blogger continues to provide this resource to the blogosphere as it is definitely a valuable one to anyone that is working to make some money online.
