Hello, My name is Shannon and I have been making money online for the last several years. I am dedicated to showing everyone I can how to replicate my blogging success. I work very hard and I have been featured on some of the biggest blogs on the net, you can 
Lets face it, we all want to get readers, keep readers and of course make money online from our readers!
However I see some key elements many bloggers are missing for them to accomplish all three goals. Some of you are doing great while others are barely sneaking through.
Today I want to share with you some of my secrets to getting readers, keeping them and of course making money off of them!
Once you know these secrets and understand how important it is to carry each one out you should have no problem building a blog, website or business into a money maker.
Just remember that money comes last so make sure you lay down the ground work or road to money making success first!
As you can see I have found this awesome Coyote image from Cartoon Network! He was always getting blown up in the cartoon so it seemed to make sense that I use him at some time on my blog!
Anyways, back on topic…
1. First I want to ask you to do something with me, load up your blog in a new browser window. When you do, what is it that you see? Do you see anything that will make readers or people want to come back? Don’t just say Yes! Really think about this one, its the key to everything online.
If you don’t have something to snag the readers attention and draw them in, how can you expect them to ever come back? The main element for any business or website is offering something that people want but can’t get anywhere. If you offer it to them you get the business, plain and simple!
2. Secondly we have all heard that great content is the key to getting traffic and in turn that generates sales. While this is generally true to some degree the one thing people seem to miss entirely is the fact that return customers are more likely to buy more the second time then they did the first time.
Why is that? They have come to trust your website and believe you can satisfiy them a second time.
Never forget that although new traffic is great, the key to business is return traffic. If you can get one person to come back to your site every day for a full year thats an extra 30 visits per month from a visitor that is willing to buy and buy and buy again!
3. Thirdly its probably best to do a test run on your blog / site before going live with any new features or a new blog all together. There is nothing more frustrating then a visitor who has checked out your blog, likes it and wants to subscribe but can’t because your subscribe section is not functioning correctly.
I find it best to do a test-run before going live with anything whether its a new product, new website design etc. It doesn’t matter what it is, if you can test it before the public does, you should!
With that said I believe you all can make money from your sites and blogs. I hope that this post has proved useful to someone, it has been on my mind to write this post and I never got around to it! Remember to comment below and let me know what you think so we can continue to grow this Infected By Bugs blog community!

Doh! I didn’t see any reason people should come back when I loaded my blog. Thanks for ruining my day!
I would have preferred a pic of Wile E. Coyote holding a stick of dynamite with the stupid look on his face like “uh oh, this sucks, I’m about to be blown up”. But, this will do.
Cheers!

Shannon, great post buddy. One of the best parts about it, to me, was the part about return visitors or repeat customers. That’s when you really get into something good man. Not just on a blog, but any business.
When you have people that keep coming back to purchase, and you build a great relationship with them, most of the time you will have a customer for life, if not life, for a very long time. People are creatures of habit, and once you treat them right…they don’t have a reason NOT to buy from you
I know I’m pretty loyal to folks I buy from, if they take care of me, and I don’t think I’m alone. Also, good point on having a REASON for people to come back to your blog! Very important….
see ya dude.

As did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home.
