I had the pleasure of appearing on the air with Chris Malta and Robin Cowie of the Entrepreneur Magazine eBiz Show the other day. We talked about how to monetize you blog. The show was broken up into three segments, which can be listened to here.

Segment 3 – Mp3 or read transcript.

Blogging is one of the biggest trends on the internet right now, but a blog can do more than give you an online voice. It can also generate significant revenue for your ebusiness. Joining us today is Jim Kukral, founder of BlogKits.com, to share different ways you can turn your blog into a serious income stream.

It was a huge honor to be on this show for so many reasons. First off, Chris Malta (CEO) and Robin Cowie (President) of Worldwide Brands are amazingly smart people who I admire. Secondly, I am an avid read of Entrepreneur magazine.

If you haven’t heard of WorldwideBrands.com, it’s The Internet’s recognized leader in EBiz Product Sourcing. They connect online sellers with highly qualified wholesale suppliers. They have a great product that I need to blog about soon as well.

It’s looking like a BIG radio week for me. On Tuesday I have radio and online success guru David Lawrence on my own radio show, and on Monday night I’m part of a panel entitled ‘Nut’s and BlogBolts ‘A Conversation on Social Media Tools’, to be heard live on Blogtalkradio.

I pimped out my new, relaunched, company called BlogKits.com. If you’re a blogger looking for an alternative to Google Adsense, please check it out.

Dave and I continued the shameless self-promotional messaging by talking more about how we’ve taken our AwesomeMillion.com free for everyone!

Reader Mail: I answered an email from another BlogTalkRadio host about how to market your radio show, and in general get promotion for your brand through MySpace, and more specifically, how difficult it is to market well in MySpace.

We have a caller!: Aaron called in asking about using Google Adwords and his lack of success in getting conversions for his product, which he didn’t mention what it was. I talked about my limited PPC knowledge and offered a few tips and resources for him to look into. Specifically, check out www.betterppc.com and do a search at www.marketingsherpa.com for landing pages and ppc conversion studies. Oh yes, and check out www.landingpagecashmachine.com for landing page advice.

Ok, so my first show went well, I think! 30 minutes goes really, really fast.

Show Notes:

I did a brief introduction of myself and then chatted about Pixelotto, Alex Tew’s new project.

I talked about my project at www.awesomemillion.com.

Then I talked about my brother Ken’s company, International Excess. He wants to start a blog about the insurance industry, so I gave my tips that I forwarded on to him.

I did have one caller today, which was Greg from www.seethewall.com. We chatted about his project and and Pixelotto.

That’s about it, it goes fast. Hopefully next week we’ll have more callers.
