Do you want to make a little more money?  If so, one of the best ways I have found for doing so is to make money online making niche blogs.

Niche blogging is when you make a blog focused on a very narrow topic.  The goal for this niche blog is to provide great, exhaustive content surrounding this niche.  Since you are focusing on a narrown topic, you will not have to write that many articles.  Simply provide great information about the niche and then move on to your next niche blog.

Today I read a great post from Garry Conn about niche blogging.  In this post Garry describes exactly how you can make money online making niche blogs.  Go read his article at Make Money Online Building a Blog about Gardening.

If you don’t already read Garry’s blog, I highly encourage you to do so.  Garry is a master at building niche blogs and making money online with adsense.

Have you seen Monnitter yet?  Well, it is the first thing that I have seen that makes Twitter useful.  That’s right, it might surprise you, but I don’t like Twitter.  Why?  Well, I just don’t find it very useful.

However, I might have just found a way to use Twitter.  That is where the new website Monnitter comes into play.  Monnitter allows you to type in up to three keywords to monitor on Twitter.  In realtime, Monnitter will bring to your attention any Twitter tweets mentioning your chosen keyword.

For me, I love to read about mont blanc fountain pens and buffalo gold coins.   Monnitter allows you to follow the online conversation that is occuring on Twitter regarding topics that are important to you.  I know that you wake up every morning wondering what your favorite make money online guru is having for breakfast.

Sure, sometime you can learn about something new on Twitter, but there are much more efficient ways to get your information.  Twitter is for narcissists, not for normal people.   Twitter can be a cool tool to talk to people you really care about, but not socializing with 100 followers.  So, make Twitter useful and try Monniter.

In Day 10 of the Thirty Day Challenge, Ed Dale and Dan Raine launched their free RSS feed submission service.   In my article on 35 Ways to Increase RSS Subscribers, tip number 32 suggested that you add you RSS feed to RSS feed directories.  Having a free RSS feed submission service is a great tool to help you promote your blog.

The TDC Submission tool can really save you a lot of time.  If you have ever done this manually for your blog, you know how long this can take.  But, the Thirty Day Challenge RSS Submission tool will do it automatically for you.  This should save you a lot of time.

So, how can submitting your blog to RSS feed directories help you promote your blog?  Each of these directories will register a link to your latest blog posts.  This will help you to get your new articles indexed by Google quickly.  The more links you have on the Internet the faster Google will find one and follow it to your site to index your article.  Additionally, if you have a catchy title and a good opening paragraph, people will see you article on the directory and come to your site directly.

For those of you following the Thirty Day Challenge and my Thirty Day Challenge Action List, I have updated the action list through Day 9.

Day 9 of the Thirty Day Challenge focused around getting backlinks to your website. This is hugely important to the success of your site in getting search engine traffic. Google, Yahoo and MSN use backlinks as a way of determining what content is worthy of listing higher in their search engine results pages. The more backlinks you get the higher you site will be listed.

Ed Dale has provided a lot of good tips to finding places to get links back to your blog. You will learn a lot by watching this Thirty Day Challenge Day 9 video.
