I know these money making tips will help improve your blogging experience here on FanBox with the ultimate goal being more readers, more fans, more clicks on our posts, a better and bigger FanBox community, and more earnings in our FanBox banks for you and for me to invest, to re-invest and to cash out.

Whenever I get an idea for a new post or a feel a surge of creativity coming on, I go to my computer, enter FanBox, click on the Produce tab and then click on New Post. I then put the keyboard to the task and start blogging.  I do this even if the idea is not yet clear or fully developed.  The ideas get clearer and the post develops as I type and click. The goal is to get going before I lose or forget the idea, and to try not to let the technology get in the way of creativity, but, rather, have the technology aid in the creative process and end up with more earnings and more profits.

If you have read my posts, you will know that most of them contain pictures and plenty of them.  The reason for that is that a picture is worth a thousand words, and that I truly believe.  I can describe a beautiful woman for you or a picturesque scene, but it is much easier for me, and much more fulfilling for you the reader, to post a picture of the beautiful woman or the beautiful scene.  We have the capability to do that here on FanBox and the internet is basically a visual medium, so I take full advantage of that capability by including as many relevant pictures as possible in each and every one of my posts. More pictures translates to more money in my FanBox bank.  Here's how.

Pictures easily illustrate the point and, as I said above, are worth a thousand of my words and make me thousands of FanBox dollars.  They are easier on the eyes and much more entertaining then a bunch of words.  People on FanBox, and people in general, don't have the time or patience to read a bunch of words.  Photos save them time and are much more entertaining then a cluster of words. That means more clicks on your ads and more dollars in your FanBox bank to invest and to re-invest in your ads.

That's not to say that the written word is not useful, artistic or entertaining.  I try to include as much written word as possible in each of my blog posts, so that the reader knows where he or she is going and the reader is educated and informed.  My money making advice blogs, my health and wellness blogs and my day in history blogs are examples of such posts.  They are mainly words with some pictures added to illustrate important points.  Those can also add to your FanBox bank.

                               

Some of my blogs are driven by pictures and some are driven by words.  By that I mean that the essence of some of my blogs are the pictures or images and the essence of my other blogs are words or prose.  In other words, blogs such as beautiful babe pictorials start with uploading and then downloading the pictures, with the captions and other content being added later, while in the creation of other blog posts, such as the one you are currently reading, I start with the prose and add the illustrative and relevant pictures later for more attractive posts, more clicks and more dollars in my FanBox bank.



For me the creation of a FanBox blog post is a lot like writing a hit song. Sometimes the words or lyrics come first and the music is added later, and sometimes the music comes first and the words or lyrics are added later. Neither method is right or wrong.  It's just whichever comes to the songwriter or blog creator's mind first, that's the one I go with.  If it's the words, I go with the words.  If it's the pictures, I go with the pictures. Sometimes it's both at the same time - pictures and words flowing out together - and that's great too when it happens. A successful well-written blog, like a successful catchy song, can make the creator a lot of money.

The main characteristic that I strive for in all my posts is excellent or superior quality, and that comes with editing and re-editing each and every post.  If the post is centered around pictures, I try to use the biggest and clearest pictures possible.  If the post is centered around words or prose, I try to make that as clear and readable as possible.  By that I mean the writing should be grammatically correct and have no spelling errors.  If the writing is borrowed from somewhere else on the internet, I eliminate or edit the advertising and superfluous materials that come with them, so the FanBox reader will have a quality experience when spending their time on my posts.

The more time the reader spends on my post, the more money I make, and the more I have to re-invest in my ads for those successful posts each and every day.  That is how I am able to make a 30-40% profit on my ads every day and every month.

                               

Here is another hot tip that all FanBoxers should know and learn.


You should know that a FanBox post is limited to 700 pixels across or horizontally, and is unlimited vertically. FanBox gives us this practically unlimited platform free of charge.  There is no better deal than this. When you save a picture to your computer, you can see it's size (e.g. 1000 x 1500). If you upload that picture to your FanBox blog post, it cannot be more than 700 pixels in width if it is going to fit properly.  You can specify the width and length, as shown here.



I always make sure to keep the ratios equal to the original ratio, so the picture looks correct and not like something borrowed and hacked.  Just because the platform is free does not mean I have to ruin it with out of proportion photos.

So, for example, if the picture is originally 1000 pixels x 1450 pixels, it will not fit in your blog post as it is.  So I change it's size, making sure to keep the width and length ratio the same as the original.  I can reduce it by 50% and change it to 500 x 725:



or by 70% to 700 x 1015, which uses the full width of the blogging area:



In the first instance I cut both the width and the length in half.  In the second instance I used 70% of each, i.e. I reduced both the length and the width 70% by multiplying each by (.7).  The result is a well-proportioned set of pictures for my readers to view and enjoy, and more money in my FanBox bank.

I hope these Just Jeff money making tips will help improve your blogging experience here on FanBox with the ultimate goal being more readers, more fans, more clicks on our posts, a better and bigger FanBox community, and more earnings for you and for me to invest, to re-invest and to cash out.
