If you are really serious about making money online with your blog, you must definitely be ready to work. Your blog must be rich in unique, interesting, search-engine friendly content. This will go a long way in driving massive traffic to your blog and in the long run, making your blog monetizations to be raking in money for you.

Whether you are new to blogging or not, below are ideas of how to get free web content for your blog.

Here are a few ideas:

1. Articles in exchange for links

Many writers will allow you to post their article on your website, in exchange for a byline and a link to their website. Just ask! If you do not know how to ask, just copy the content, EDIT IT in your own way, (DO NOT DO COPY AND PASTE), post it to your blog and make sure you give credit to the original owner of the article. You can simply do this by inserting a SOURCE link at the bottom of your blog post or even talk about the source in your blog post.

Below are a few good sources to start with:
www.eZineArticles.com
www.articlecity.com
www.FreeSticky.com
www.GoArticles.com

2. Articles about Articles/Ebooks/Softwares

Pick any popular keyword and chances are, you will find thousands of articles about it on the Internet. Lets say for example, you search for MAKE MONEY in Google , you will definitely see loads of results which you can copy and edit in your own way, just for you to be updating your blog. You can even just be writing articles about which articles/ebooks/softwares are worth reading/using, where to find them and why you'd recommend them.

3. Online Interviews/Write For Us…

People love attention. Even busy experts do! Make a list of questions to ask experts, invite opinions, critiques etc. Start encouraging your blog readers to WRITE FOR YOU. You'll see your pages filling up fast with exciting, keyword rich content.

4. Open Content Encyclopedia

This is a great source of copyright-free content on a broad range of subjects. Check out the Open Content Page at the Open Directory Project: www.dmoz.org/computers/open_source/open_content

5. RSS Feeds

RSS "feeds" provide some of the most current and up-to-date information on a variety of subjects. You can use an RSS Aggregators to "suck in" targeted content for keywords selected by you. I installed FeedReader on my laptop and using it to monitor different upates from different websites and blogs without me even having to visit the websites or blogs. I will be talking more on RSS Feeds in my future posts.

Examples of popular RSS feeds include Google News, Blogdex.net, Feedster.com, rss.LockerGnome.com, myRSS.com, NewsKnowledge.com.

With the few tips above, I hope you should now be able to be updating your blog easily without having to knock yor head over the wall. Remember, nothing sweet comes easily. Be determined, stay focused and you will definitely get there by His Grace.

This is HTML code of your subscription pop-up .
Replace the text in bold with title of pop-up and pop-up content .
To make this popup becomes a subscription pop-up ,you can add Feedburner subscription code into pop-up content . Like this

<div id="popupContact">
         <a id="popupContactClose">x</a>
         <h1>Never Miss Any Update From Us!</h1>        
         <p id="contactArea">
<form style="border:1px solid #ccc;padding:3px;text-align:center;" action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=DelgeekBlogLab', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true">
                 <p>Get notified about our Updates</p>

                 <input type="submit" value="Subscribe" />
             </form>
         </p>
     </div>
     <div id="backgroundPopup"></div>

The text in bold is the code of Feedburner subscription form .

You might want to ask me : How to get Feedburner subscription form ?
It's very easy .If you are using Feedburner ,login to your feedburner account -> click on your blog feed ->click on Publicize tab -> Click on Email Subscriptions -> Active this service -> code of subscription form is in text box .

If you do not use Feedburner ,you can add other code to pop-up content ....

4. Now it's time to add Jquery code . This code will make the pop-up work .
Add this code right before </head>

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  
<script src="http://dinhquanghuy.110mb.com/jquery.cookie.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
     var popupStatus = 0;
//this code will load popup with jQuery magic!
function loadPopup(){
    //loads popup only if it is disabled
    if(popupStatus==0){
        $("#backgroundPopup").css({
            "opacity": "0.7"
        });
        $("#backgroundPopup").fadeIn("slow");
        $("#popupContact").fadeIn("slow");
        popupStatus = 1;
    }
}

//This code will disable popup when click on x!
function disablePopup(){
    //disables popup only if it is enabled
    if(popupStatus==1){
        $("#backgroundPopup").fadeOut("slow");
        $("#popupContact").fadeOut("slow");
        popupStatus = 0;
    }
}

//this code will center popup
function centerPopup(){
    //request data for centering
    var windowWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
    var windowHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
    var popupHeight = $("#popupContact").height();
    var popupWidth = $("#popupContact").width();
    //centering
    $("#popupContact").css({
        "position": "absolute",
        "top": windowHeight/2-popupHeight/2,
        "left": windowWidth/2-popupWidth/2
    });
    //only need force for IE6  
    $("#backgroundPopup").css({
        "height": windowHeight
    });
  
}
//CONTROLLING EVENTS IN jQuery
$(document).ready(function(){
    if ($.cookie("anewsletter") != 1) {  
        //centering with css
        centerPopup();
        //load popup
        loadPopup();  
    }      
    //CLOSING POPUP
    //Click the x event!
    $("#popupContactClose").click(function(){
        disablePopup();
        $.cookie("anewsletter", "1", { expires: 7 });
    });
    //Click out event!
    $("#backgroundPopup").click(function(){
        disablePopup();
        $.cookie("anewsletter", "1", { expires: 7 });
    });
    //Press Escape event!
    $(document).keypress(function(e){
        if(e.keyCode==27 && popupStatus==1){
            disablePopup();
            $.cookie("anewsletter", "1", { expires: 7 });
        }
    });
});
</script>

The pop-up will show if you are first-time visitor to the blog and will not displayed again  for 7 days .
With this feature ,reader will not be annoyed by pop-up each time they visit your blog . After 7 days ,the pop-up will show again to remind visitor to subscribing your blog . You can set the number of days pop-up will be appeared again by set the value of expires: 7 to other value ,for example ,expires: 6 ^^

Note : If error occured when uploading template ,you must encode the script in step 4 by copying the code ,and go to THIS PAGE ,paste the code in textbox and click on encode . After that copy the result and paste it back to template file .


That's all for subscription pop-up .
You can save template and back to your blog to see the changes.
I hope this post will be helpful
