I’m wondering how those self-claimed internet gurus make money online consistently. The keyword here is “consistent.” So far, I am able to get few hundred bucks from this website, but it is very difficult to make it as a constant income stream.

Here are some ideas gathered from the web that might help to create the “constant.” (constant income!!)

Create a Posting Schedule. It makes it easier for readers to follow you; indeed, look forward to your posts. If your schedule is erratic, it will take you much longer to build up a loyal following.

Post from Experience. Information is the best selling product on the web. And, much of it is written in a “how to” format by authors who’ve experienced it first-hand.

Choose a Niche. Choose a niche and stick to it. It’s where the money is. There’s so much information on the web that it’s impossible to be everything to everybody. So, clearly define your niche and always post with their wants and needs in mind.

Interact with Other Popular Blogs in Your Niche. The most effective way to do this is by commenting on other popular blogs in your niche. Make your posts relevant. Don’t just post to post. This is pointless and is a waste of time. Use the space to leave helpful, relevant feedback.

Use Good Grammar. How good your post is, if it’s poorly written, you will lose credibility. Never underestimate the power of good writing.

Get a Clean Design. You don’t have to be a web designer to have an effective blog. After all, readers come for your information. If design is not your specialty, don’t sweat it. Just use a clean design that is easy to navigate.

Get Plugins. Plugins are things like “recent posts”, “recent comments”, etc. They encourage readers to hang around longer. The longer a visitor stays on your blog, the more likely they will buy from you - whether right now or at some time in the future.

Blog with SEO in Mind. Center each post on a keyword phrase. And, the writing doesn’t have to be bad to “force a phrase,” just keep SEO in mind when you blog.

Don’t Forget to Market Your Blog. Don’t stop at posting. Get mileage out of your posts. You might want to use OnlyWire service to update and submit your content to top social sites.

Don’t Give Up. Blogging is more time consuming than many think when they first start. This is why there are so many dead blogs on the web. But remember, success is a marathon, not a sprint. So don’t give up.

Twitter is a social networking site. On this service, one can choose to “follow” the updates of people who interest you enough to want to know what they have on their minds. Often, when you “follow” someone, they will reciprocate. This is called “being social” in Social Networking.

However, some are just using Twitter as a way to broadcast their own agenda, and really have no interest in their followers, beyond how they can make money off of them. There are “self-claimed internet gurus” out there who preach on how you can get 30,000 new followers on Twitter. There are several systems out there, but they essentially boil down to 3 easy steps.

1. Follow a bunch of people you aren’t currently following.
2. Eliminate anyone who isn’t following you from your list of who you follow.
3. Rinse and Repeat.

Step number two above is very enlightening. “Un-follow” anyone who hasn’t followed you back! That means you aren’t following someone because you care what they have to say. You are only following them because you want them to follow you.

There are actually services that help you “scrub” your followers list like that. This makes such social networking no longer social, but rather a poor attempt at targeted advertising.

Believe me, 90% of all of the alerts that you get are from people that are part of one marketing scheme or another. I’m not one of those self-claimed internet gurus; but I felt this practice is unethical.

First off, why would you want to build content-rich websites? The short answer is “Because it keeps people on your site for a while, it makes them come back, and they tell their friends about that site.”

But why? Well, for one thing, people will stay on a content-rich site because it takes awhile to read an article or two. And if people start to realize that a certain site has good content that they like, and in particular, different content that constantly changes and is updated, then they’ll check back to see what’s new.

The worst thing in the world to have is a stagnant website that never changes. People will visit it exactly twice - the first time to check it out, and the second one to see what’s changed and when they find out it hasn’t changed, they most likely won’t come back. Ever!

A content-rich site is one that has lots of informative articles up at it, usually centered around a theme. Most sites can’t quite pull off being WikiPedia, so they specialize. Emm…just like SmoothAsia!

The articles you’ll want to have on your site should be short enough so that someone can read them in about 5 minutes. This means you want to stick to articles of 250 to 750 words, with 300 to 600 words optimal. To give you an idea, a single page in a published novel has about 300 words.

You might think it is lots of cool graphics and colors that make a site attractive to a visitor, but it’s really the content!

I’m not one of those self-claimed internet gurus, but believe me, the very best way to attract and retain an online audience is to provide content that’s useful, valuable, informative, and educational.

Not everyone is cut out to be a writer and there is nothing to be ashamed of if this happens to apply to you nor should it discourage you from producing an e-book especially if you have a good niche topic in mind. The great thing about the internet is that it connects people in need of services with those that supply those services.

There are literally thousands of competent and professional freelance writers out there that lack the marketing expertise, vision, or funding necessary to produce their own e-books. These professionals will write your entire e-book and sell you the rights to market it - for a negotiable fee. Websites like Elance.com and Sologig.com connect writers with people needing e-books and other types of web content for a fee. Just be sure to check the feedback of the provider, ask for relevant writing samples, and establish firm delivery milestones in order to best ensure timely delivery of quality content.

Even if you do decide to write the e-book yourself, sometimes it is just a good idea to have another writer look it over and edit the work so that it is more professional and concise. Prices charged by freelance providers vary considerably especially considering the vast diversity of nations from which they come. Editing services are usually less expensive but make no mistake: using a freelance writer to complete your e-book will greatly add to the cost of the project but may ultimately make you more money in the long run if the writing is exceptional and the marketing campaign effective.

If you do decide to write the e-book yourself, be sure to organize it from beginning to end to ensure the highest quality and that you actually complete it. Typical e-books range in size from 30-120 pages so bear that in mind when planning your book. It is best to avoid fluff and have a smaller e-book than one that is long-winded and filled with useless or anecdotal information. Try to include royalty-free pictures whenever possible and to help break up the endless wording. There are numerous free pictures art sites and a large number of paid sites that have millions of images to help complement and enhance your e-book (and thus boost sales).

Another great source of material can be found in Private Label Rights products (PLR). Many times, other e-book writers will sell their product at a higher price to people that want to buy the rights to use their product for their own means. When you buy the PLR rights to an e-book, you can use all of the material in that e-book and put your name on it as the author. It is always best to reposition the material by packaging it in a new way. Or, you can use the material to flush out your own e-book to be more content-rich.

Now, consider yourself. Would you like to write or outsource?
