Answers On Q and A And Some Things To Say

by Melvin · Dec 7, 2008

So these past days (including now), I’ve been into bed as I was suffering from pulmonary diseases and fever and flu which makes me indisposed. By the way these are last months top commentators(3) which will receive a free month long link to this site:

  • Ajith Eddasery
  • ZK
  • Ganesh

For the questions and assholes which i nearly forgot, here they are:

Harish:

Here is my question

Is Affiliate Marketing the only way you make money,If not what are the other ways you make money??

Melvin: No. I do make money from this blog as well and also on my basketball blog. Before I used to try a lot of making money strategies but now I focus more on affiliate marketing.

Ajith Eddasery: Question: Do you think stuffing ‘hot’ keywords (like the one here :lol:) in blog post titles would really help?

Melvin: I don’t really know but I think it helps! 🙂 I never really planned that “asshole” word but then I was just typing and it came to my mind. But anyway, w/regards to titles I think it helps because it baits people to actually read the post.

Royle: The New York Knicks has traded its two best player this season, what are your thoughts about it?

Melvin: Seriously, at first its a dickhead trade for me. I mean the Knicks started 6-3 and they all of a sudden traded their two top performing players. I know its for long term plan but then they could’ve just waited for the latter part of the season before pulling the trigger. Now they are 7-9 so it definitely hurted them this season but will surely benefit them on future.

ZK: what is a saleable category or niche for affilliate marketing

Melvin: Anything outside internet marketing! I mean you see guys like shoemoney make a lot w/ringtones. Some do exceptional w/adult niche. I do well w/dating and some email submits. It really depends I think and it also depends on the events like for example the election last month.

Pradeep: How do you address a situation,where in you are a blogger and your girlfriend hates blogging

Melvin: I seriously do not know. If I have a gf that hates blogging then I will surely hate my gf like she hates blogging! 🙂

Farrhad: How much impact does a blog’s design have on you?
Is blogging your main source of income? How much do you earn per month?
How important is networking for a blog’s success?

Melvin: Design is always an important factor. My blogs design isn;t superb but I feel it manages to stand out because of its refreshing look. No, not my main income. I make 3 figures per month and it fluctuates like crazy. networking is important just as like how every business needs it

Desmondblog: My name is Desmond and that’s why I chose to name my blog at DesmondBlog.com. Did you pick the domain name “MelvinBlog.com” the same way as I do?

Melvin: Well, I believe melvinblog was born earlier than desmondblog (you were holding grademoney.com then, if im not wrong). Anyway yes is the answer. I always want to rank no.1 for the term melvin. 🙂

JR: How much thought and time did you put into thinking up the title of this post? LMAO, best one I’ve seen in a while.

Melvin: Like what Ive said, I just put it in because it is what came into my mind. I always write stuffs spontaneously so thats why. 😉

Blog For Beginners: When I started thoushallblog.com, your name is pretty famous around the blogosphere but you’ve been really quite as of late, any particular reason for that?

Yan

Melvin: Im not really famous! Its because of school probably thats why I have to devote lesser time with blogging. Gotta prioritize things and do what weighs heavier.

That’s it. I believe Farrhad and ZK got the best question and you will get a month long 125X125 ad on my site for free! Just send me the image and the link at melvin@ (my domain). Again, I needed to take time to recover from a sickness so I may stop posting for the mean time. On my next post I would also like to talk about the “rumors” that this blog is for sale or wtf! Watch out! 😉

Yeah, you better talk the melvin blog for sale rumor in your next post because I’m still wondering why you’re about to sell such a great blog like yours. hehe
