Add a Paypal donate button in Blogspot blog 2012

Paypal has now become the biggest way of receiving and sending money online, Paypal provides a wide variety of tools to help you earn more and one is the donation button, you will get to know how to easily add a Paypal donate gadget in Blogger.
If you are running a non profit organization or just a blog then you might want to add a donation button to increase your income and get donations from people without messaging each and every single person. Paypal donation buttons can be very helpful as i said that you can just put up it on your blog and website and any person that likes your blog or work can donate you for your work to keep on.
Demo : You can see on the right sidebar.
The reason i have put 2012 in the title is that there are many tutorials online about adding a Paypal button but they don't work now and many people don't get a proper answer about adding the feature on their blog or website.

Adding the donation feature

The adding process is as easy as copying and pasting, no need of any coding language. Please follow and read each and every step carefully to avoid any misunderstanding.

Setting up your Paypal

Note : If you haven't yet signed up for Paypal then do it here http://paypal.com
We were having difficulties receiving Payments in Personal Paypal account, so you have to make your Paypal account Premier in order to receive donations. Upgrading your account to Premier is absolutely free.
Login to your Paypal account -> On your account dashboard you will see the account type you have, if Personal is mention there, click on it and upgrade to Premier. That's it.

Generate the donation button

In many old tutorials you may have seen that you need to log into your account to get to a page where you can create the buttons, but Paypal interface and system has changed since the way to get a button is also different.
Paypal provides a free tool with which you can create a button, you just need to enter your details, that's not more than your Paypal email id and the organization name you want your donation received as.
Note : I suggest you to log out from Paypal while creating the button.

1. Go to this page and click on 'Create button' link https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_donate-intro-outside
2. Now when you are on the page with Paypal button creating tool you will see a drop down menu with different options (button type) choose Donations from the drop down.
3. Put your organization name and donation id (it's optional)
4. If you want a more customized button then you can use the customization options, you can put your own image instead of the normal donate button (optional)
5. Choose the currency. If you want a fixed amount to get donated from the donors then you can choose the 'Donors contribute a fixed amount.' and enter the amount.
6. The last and the most important step is to enter the email id for your Paypal
7. Skip Step 2 and 3 there and click on 'Create Button' and you will get the HTML code for your donate button. Copy that code.

Next is to add the code for Paypal donate button into your blog's sidebar.

Add the code in your blog

We are going to simply add the code into the blog by an HTML/JavaScript gadget. To do that go to your Blogger Dashboard -> Layout -> Add a gadget -> Select HTML/JavaScript from the list -> Title the gadget and in contents paste the HTML code you got from the Paypal donation button generator.
Save the gadget and that's it.
Tip : You can add the donation button HTML anywhere applicable, for example inside the posts.
Tip : If you want to add the gadget below your posts then this tutorial[click to open] will help you.

Yeah ! That's it

What Alexa is exactly about? - Explained

Alexa rankings are now seen before someone buys a website or want to advertise on it. It ranks a web site on the basis of it's traffic and demographics count. But this is just a common description about Alexa, there is more you need to know about Alexa for getting a better rank in Alexa.

Millions of webmasters now use Alexa site as a tool to check the traffic rank of any website or blog, lower number in your rank means higher value. Undoubtedly Google is the number 1 because it has the highest traffic than any other site on Alexa.

But driving traffic to the site is all what Alexa sees ? Read ahead 

Just traffic increases your Alexa ranking ?

Alexa ranks sites on basis of it's traffic, so it's obvious that Alexa ranks a site better because it have some good traffic. But traffic can be now bought on many sources that's not a good mark for a blog or website. I have seen many Facebook page owners offering to share traffic from their site for some $s. And newbies bloggers, who just want to increase traffic accepts to pay and buy the traffic. But did that increased your traffic, the answer is no.

I have experimented myself, a blog getting more than 10k pageviews ranked lower than my blog getting about 2k Pageviews per day. And that happened only because the traffic i got on my blog was 70% from search engines but the traffic on other blog was from Facebook.

Now we come to the point that organic traffic is what you want, so buying traffic from Facebook or any other illegal sources can harm your own site and you better keep away from them to make your blog look more professional. If you aren't getting much traffic then never loose hope, if you are making great contents with hardwork then you will see rapid growth of readership on your blog or website.      

So, how to get organic traffic ?

The recipe for organic traffic is easy. Make contents on your blog that's useful for others and those which is being searched by others on Google and search engines. You need some Good Blogging tips to learn blogging step by step. I will be adding tips on blogging everyday so subscribe our blog for updates.

Publishing new post on your blog always increases the chance of getting higher ranks on Alexa as you are supposed to get a bit of traffic from your new content as well.

How to publish your content to a larger audience?

How frustrating it's when you create a post after hardwork of hours but what you see is that not a single pageview on it ! That makes us feel that our work is worth nothing even we created something that should reach peoples. 

In Blogging having the writing skills is important but the strategies you need to make your blog reach much bigger audience is also compulsory, as you don't want your published content to go unseen. SEO is essential for getting a good reputation in Google search ranks and that's what SEO is all about.

But the problem with SEO is that it needs patience and many bloggers can wait to see the best result, all they want is fast. If you are in such hurry then SEO is not for you, i mean you may try to optimize your search engine rankings but just because you want keep patience then there are some graceful methods to increase your traffic with readership if you have quality contents on your blog or website.

Fortunately, Google is not the only way to get traffic for your blog, Google is undoubtedly the major source of traffic for any website but what about less established blogs, don't they deserve to get readership when they are having tons of quality contents.

Taking help of social networks

The idea is to create your own community in big social network such as Pinterest or Facebook, it's easy to get in touch with people interested in the field you are blogging and then you may share your contents with them. But let them also expose their own content to you and other members of the community, don't just let others read your blog but do read other blogs as they may contain information which you will find useful in future.
Digg and Stumble Upon are two main ways to target your post mainly and publish it to the users of stumble upon and Digg. These sites work like a bookmarking tool. You will get some small numbers of readers at start but as you keep doing it you will see your blog being read by more and more people. 

Guest posting

Guest posting on well established blog can give you a good number of readers for your blog, as when you publish your genuine and quality content on other blogs, you get subscribers of the blog as readers for you post and most guest blog posting enabled sites, they offer to give backlinks which is again good for SEO.

• You can read more about guest blog posting here. 

If your blog is new then don't publish your best content on your blog, keep patience and find a big blog in the field you write and contact it's owner for guest post submission. Most of the blogs who offer guest post entry have a page for it which you can find in links on the webpage.

Blogging without fear

Blogging is not an easy work. Although it's not even a work but if you want your blogging career to be successful then it's difficult to get to the top. 

While we talk about blogging, it's only written work but also represents you. You are what you write, and writing more is always beneficial for any blogger as it exposes more to your audience. But many bloggers start blogs and posts 2 or more post daily but after a couple of week you will see them publishing no work of them. This is because they become more sensitive about their audience and fear to publish articles or blog posts even if it's good.

What happens is that you become more conscious about your content and start thinking about would your readers like to read this post ? Is this post complete ?

These are the questions which pops up into a confused blogger mind. You may care about your content and make it as beautiful you can but when it gets to the publishing don't fear to publish it to your readers just because you think your content is not up to the mark. I am sure you won't lose any readers just because of it.

But remember to keep your content informative, then leave it on your readers and see their feedback. If the content was actually not up to the mark then you will get some precious advice from your readers to improve it and that's how Blogging is done. Success in blogging is sum of patience, hardwork and knowledge. These three elements will make your blog career a heaven for your readers.

Earn money online by writing

Today internet is a huge medium for many people to earn money online, and today i will highlight one of the easiest way to earn money online, writing!

Many people today earn money online and everyone is allowed to earn money online if they have talent and knowledge. There are yet many other ways to earn money online other than writing such as cyber-squatting (crime) and other spamming ideas, which is not good, earning money with your talent is always good and you gain reputation.

Most people with good knowledge of their fields writes about it on their blog, people with similar interest reads it and enjoys, and the advertisement displayed on their blogs/website make them earn money. If you are good in something, then you might write blogs on it.

But the problem is you have to wait and keep patience as it needs contents on your blog to be able to earn more online, it would take time for you and your blog attract readers, so it's good way but not suitable for people who want fast money.

iWriter.com is a something that you are looking for, it's based on content writing. iWriter will let you make money just for writing about a specific topic, you are not free to write content on your own topic, other people who wants articles for their blog or website offer other writers on iWriter to write for them, if you write something that the Client loved and want it on their website or blog etc. you will be paid money for it, even if you write 10 articles perday and 5 got approved then you are in good profit. Along with this you can earn money also by starting a blog on side and also write on iWriter. 

The art of writing in very precious and even if you have full knowledge about something but you will need the art of writing, so you have to work hard on it also. If you think you are good then don't just let you talent go wasted, use it.

You get paid only for what you deserve so hardwork is the most important thing, people won't just give money to someone for what they don't deserve even you, yet many people ask me 'how to earn money' online and i answer them 'with hardwork and patience' whatever you do or write like a fashion blog, tech blog or etc. you have to put your hardwork into it to get the fruit. You have to take time to learn about it and then write something.
