Voxant-Blog Earn Money

When I first started blogging I tried to pay attention to what was showing up on other blogs. Adsense is pretty common. Blog ads of all sorts seem to be pretty common. There is something sweet and simple about Blog Earn Money. One of the blogs I read from time to time has what appears to be every know method of making money with a blog. But he used one blogging for profit item I had seen nowhere else. Voxant.

Voxant-once known only as Newsroom-is a news feed service. You earn money blogging and embedding a news feed from Voxant. You can just embed the Voxant feed into a post if you want, or embed it on the sidebar. As with most make money from your blog schemes, the money we are talking about is pennies. Want to know how to make money with a blog? Use Voxant and Adsense and get ten thousand hits a day or so.

Well, to be fair I have never put that much effort into Voxant to get paid for blogging about their news items. But I did have some luck on a contest from Voxant Newsroom. I won two trade paperback books-An Irish Country Doctor by Patrick Taylor and Malachy McCourt’s History of Ireland. All I had to do was embed some code into one of my blogs and leave it there. Whamo! I won. Winning a couple of free books is not exactly making money from blogging, but its pretty close.

So I have used Voxant from time to time in my blogging for dollars efforts. But I have a couple of problems with Voxant, even though they were nice enough to give me a couple of books. One is about the pay, there are easier ways to make money with blog. Paid posts, when they are offered, are money in the back. To get paid to blog with Voxant requires a certain number of pageviews or clicks on a video display. There can be blog profits for blogs with heavy traffic, and to be honest, I have not tried this method of blogging for money in some time.

It’s easy to create a blog and then easy to think about how to make money on the Internet. Voxant is still a possibility. Making money blogging-all you have to do is add some code to your posts. Well, this brings me to my second problem with Voxant, and it is a much more serious problem. Blogs make money are usually blogs that have been around for a while. Old content is just as good as new content as far as Googlebots are concerned. I get hits on old posts all the time. Sometime these old posts are caught up in a new viral marketing campaign and I get a few hits on the side. And maybe make some blog money.

Voxant has a couple of strikes against it as far as the hardcore blog-make-money-online blogger is concerned. For one thing, the Voxant players are flash players, Googlebots can’t see them-so they are no help with keywords, no help with Internet marketing. But if you can whip up a post around them, this would still not be an OK way to make money blogging.

Except that Voxant posts are temporary posts. Use just a Voxant feed as a post and it will not help make money blogging, as it will not be seen by Google and it will disappear, sometimes in a matter of days after it is posted. Amazon affiliate links make money with your blog pretty much forever. Blogging for cash with Amazon.com is also often blogging for pennies not blogging for dollars, but I have had a couple of OK months with Amazon. With the exception of the free books, I have made no money from blogs with Voxant.

But hope spring eternal, maybe I just need to give it some more attention and then I can make money with a blog and a Voxant account.

Frank on Somewhat Frank seems to like Voxant and Mike on Mike’s Money Making Mission is doing much better than I even thought possible with Voxant.
