Met up with a few ex colleagues last week. They were surprised to learn that we have sold the tutoring business. When they learned that I am working mostly online this days, they immediately thought I am running an online store. They kept asking questions on the distribution network of the products and which warehousing service provider is used. Even though I tried to explain, but they got so caught up with the idea of me running an online store, no amount of explanation shed any light. For some people, it’s impossible to make money online unless you own an online store and sell merchandises that require a sophisticated warehousing solutions.

If you are selling physical goods, you would probably use a warehousing service that can fulfill your warehouse and distribution needs. For instance, if you are distributing clothings, you may need climate controlled and protected facilities. Many companies actually outsource this part of their business to the fulfillment solutions experts that have automated warehousing and inventory system that takes care of your products and make sure you will never run out of stocks.

Since the big G doesn’t like us selling links that pass link juice and would continue to smack our blogs or sites down for doing that, we need to find a way to continue to make money online that works within the perimeter set by the God of search engines.

Have been looking at the possibility of getting involved with affiliate sales through PPC marketing. But, cringed at the thought of us creating landing pages without coding knowledge and technical skills. Not until we started designing our own landing pages, we realize that there are so many things and terms to learn i.e. quality score, loading time.

There is certain risk factor attached to PPC affiliate sales, you can lose money if the conversion rates for your PPC campaigns are lousy. Since one of the reasons for poor conversion could be due to the less than ideal landing pages, getting professional Web Development is definitely a wise decision if one can afford it. Not many of us ordinary people could afford to run campaigns that losing thousands a day!

Have decided to divorce the Montessori Blog from TigaP and asked for pardon from our granny G. Submitted a reconsideration request yesterday. Elaine, ParisB and many others got back their PR after doing that, so crossing my fingers and waiting to see what will happen!

Anyway, after segmented out by region, domain, page rank and traffic, there are not many opportunities for a Blogspot with PR0 on the TigaP. Whatever available to PR0 will be grabbed before you can blink your eyes. Actually have not gotten any opps since January! So, decided to part with TigaP even though it’s one of the blogs that gets the most traffics from search engine and has better Real Rank.
