That was the question that the guy in Daily Blogging Tips answere in his weekly Q&A. The summary of his answer was, it depends.

It depends meaning that a marketer can put his sales page on his blog or he can also put it in a separate domain.

If the product page is in his blog, his followers or blog reader are a lot more comfortable either site and having trust on a site is a big factor in affiliate marketing.

The negative side of putting the product landing page on a blog, according to DBT is that there are a lot of distractions on a blog, that is additional and unnecessary images, navigational and sidebar links and other links. These links are the ‘exit points’ that we must lessen if not eliminate in a sales page. These exit points does not exist in most product landing pages that are hosted in a separate domain.

If you still want to put your landing page in your blog for whatever reason (trusting site, loyal readers etc.) here is what I would do…

Since your blog is your brand and you want to be always associated with it, you can create a static page and turn it as your product sales page. You can use your blog’s header image or logo or the header part of your blog, then create the rest of the page… Minus the unnecessary links… Plus all the big h1 headers, the red colored fonts, the whole nine yards.

I did that in one of my first blog that offers music download.. Works prettty good, you can try it too and let me know how it goes..

Pat Flynn is one of those 6-digit blog earner who have made a great name for himself. He was an architect who got laid off. Instead of giving up and not doing anything, ‘he took a small blog about an architectural exam (the LEED exam) that he’d been using to help himself study for the exam and turned it into a six figure income generation machine.’

He’s first blog that earned him those hundred thousands dollars is called Green Exam Academy and his newer blog, Smart Passive Income, wherein he post tips on how he is able to earn passive income through his blog.

I found out about Pat Flynn from Darren Rowse’s blog. He and Pat met online via Skype and did a 40 minute or so interview for Pat to share his wonderful story.

You can download the mp3 interview if you subscribe to The Problogger’s email list. Go ahead and check it out, Pat Flynn’s story is very inspiring and I think it motivate me a little to blog some more again.. I am getting tooo lazy.

Most of the bloggers out there are in it for the money. They look up (with envy) to the professional bloggers out there who have made a name (not to mention tons of money) for themselves and they want to become just like them.

If you’re just starting out with your first blog, here are a very good tip for you. Here are the 5 reasons bloggers fail:

1. Laziness - Bloggers are lazy.. errr., everyone tends to be lazy it’s just that I think bloggers are more lazy than others. We do want to make money online, don’t we? Working for ourselves, no boss, no superious, no commute etc.. see? We are lazy. In blogging you’ll be needing to promote your blogs, build links do SEO and stuff.. which is hard work, so laziness is the number one hurdle in blogger’s success.
2. Lack of Motivation – Bloggers wanting to make money are excited and are super active for the first few weeks. But it stops there. When they felt that nothing is developing, they tend to stop. They have nothing to motivate them but to make money online instantly.
3. Phony - Blogging something that you know little or nothing about, that’s phoniness. Many bloggers our there are blogging niches that are apparently have a large potential of earning big bucks but the truth of the matter is, they know nothing about it.
4. Bad Blog Topic – This is the continuation of the above, if you are going to blog, blog something that you do know. Aside from that, if you blog a topic that no one is talking about or no own is bloggig about, chances are it has no market.
5. Lack of Focus - If your blog started to earn say $1 a day, you might get tempted to make more and more blog so that each blog may earn $1! That’s not a bad move, but that will lose your focus and subsequently fail your blogs.

Keep those things in mind and stay away from it or do the reverse, chances are you may become successful in blogging!

Keep in touch and let me know if you do become successful, and maybe you can share a tip or two.. I need to make money online
