FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What if I'm not using WordPress?
There are certainly other blogging platforms that are worth using, but we require that you use WordPress. That is where our expertise is, and we can best serve our clients if they are using WordPress.

My blog is a free site on WordPress.com. Will that work?
Sorry, but it won't. Sites on WordPress.com don't allow you to edit the source code, and they don't allow you to put ads on your blog. However, we'll be happy to help you move your site to a hosted installation using the standard WordPress.org software, and we'll move you for free.

Do I have to pay for you to manage my blog?
Nope -- not a penny. We use a very simple script that shows our ad 25% or 50% of the time, depending on which plan you're on.

How do I make money with my blog?
We're big fans of Google AdSense and we use them for the bulk of our advertising. They place the ads on your blog automatically and pay you for each click that the ads receive. We believe in playing by the rules and do not encourage you to click on your own ads or use any other fraudulent technique to try to earn more revenue. If you work hard, you can earn some good money with AdSense.

How do we transfer the money each month?
We don't need to! Since our script automatically mixes our ads based on the plan you choose, we each get our own money in our own AdSense accounts immediately, with no need to write any checks to each other or anything.

I'm barely making any money right as it is, and now you want me to give you 25% of my ad space?
It's an understandable concern. In our experience, the changes that we make and the advice that we give will make your traffic/revenue go much higher, far beyond the 25% that we get. If we work at it for a few months and things don't improve, then you're free to leave.

I need money NOW. How quickly can I start earning revenue?
If you need money now, this isn't for you. It takes time. We believe in building sites for the long haul, and it takes time to get there. Our goal is to help you earn $500/month after the first year. Until then, it will build slowly. Your first month might make $1, the second one might make $5, etc. It takes time to build up your traffic, but we can help you do it.

Why do I need your help when I can do it all on my own?
If you can do it on your own, then you don't need our help. However, there are a lot of bloggers out there that don't understand the ins and outs of WordPress, plug-ins, SEO, etc. We can take that off your plate, giving you more time to write quality content. With your now-optimized blog and more great content being produced by you, your traffic and revenue will really begin to grow.

What are some of the sites you manage?
We manage dozens of blogs, which receive a grand total of over 300,000 monthly visitors. A few examples are the Digital Earth Blog and The Streisand Effect. Also, check out our Real Results page to see stats from a new client of ours.
