What is Fiverr and how it Works

Fiverr is an online marketplace to buy or sell services. All the services bought and sold in Fiverr are of 5$. There are many categories of services from online business and design to some crazy stuff. Fiverr charges 1$ for each sale. So if you sell a gig, you will get 4$. That is quite low but here you will be learning how to earn thousands from Fiverr.

What to Sell on Fiverr

Since you will get only 4$ from each sale, you should think what can you offer the buyers. Think of gigs that don�t require very much hard work and time. This is true because the buyers on Fiverr want their service ASAP. And you will also not spend your whole day for just one gig. And if you do this, you will be out of time to complete other gigs. There are different types of buyers on Fiverr namely:

• Individual Business Buyers
• Company/Organizations
• Fun Buyers

Individual Buyers 

These are the individual buyers who spend on some gigs that help in their business or work. You can target such people by creating gigs like �

�I will create 5000 backlinks of your website�

�I will get 10000 likes to your Facebook Page�

�I will write a 500 word article that passes copy scape�

These gigs sell a lot on Fiverr but to get orders for such services is hard as there is a lot of competition in these gigs. Moreover people prefer to buy services of those people who got good review or ratings. But that�s not the point of worry. If are worried by the competition, then you will never succeed in life. Just give it a shot and check whether you are getting response or not.

Company/Organizations 

These buyers are also similar to individual buyers but these buyers are usually long term buyers. A survey showed that Company/Organization buyers tend to keep a long relationship with their sellers. So if your gig is ordered by any company or team, then you may get future projects with them. For this reason it is very important to maintain good contact with such buyers. Not only this, these buyers can order your gig in bulk. But the best part is that these organizations have a strong social circle. So if they are impressed with your service, they might share it to their clients and such other people. This can get you more orders.

Fun Buyers 

Funny buyers usually buy gigs for fun. They don�t mind to spend 5$ on a funny gig. One day while searching, I found some gigs which are most selling and contain all fun type stuff.

Some of the gigs are �

�I will say anything as Harry Potter�

�I will write your message in the sand on a beach�

�I will write your name in calligraphy�

�I will reveal spoon bending trick�

Well these gigs have got a good market because there are many different things you can do and sell them on Fiverr. Just search yourself for some fun and bizarre gigs and you will get many ideas of what you can do and earn.

Okay, these were the gigs that can be sold on Fiverr. But there are some gigs you should not sell on Fiverr.

What not to sell on Fiverr

Never try to sell gigs that are too much attractive. Once I saw a gig �10000 backlinks in 1 Hour�. I just clicked to see what the person is selling and then I saw the ratings and the comments. Well the seller did provide huge number of backlinks but they were all of low quality. So because of such non-sense gigs, your profile can be filled with negative ratings and reviews. So try not to sell such gigs that can destroy your Fiverr profile and then you will have to create a new account.

I also did the same mistake once. The gig was �I will setup your template on Blogspot blog�. I just got one order but that order became a mess when it took so long to fix one bug in the template. At that time, I was not familiar with HTML and CSS. But this gig can get even worse when you are providing the person with a free template and are not able to fix an issue. So never try to sell gigs about which you have no knowledge.

So since now you know what you can sell, we can head over to the next section about creating gigs.

Creating gigs that sell on Fiverr

Title

The first and the most important things you need to know are about the title. Make your titles short and attractive. You can use 1 word with capital letters. So just use your brain here and see what keyword you want to highlight on your Fiverr gig.

Description

When I created my first gig, the description was very long. This is not good as the buyers want everything explained to them in detail but in short. What type of description would you want to read when you buy gig? The answer is simple. Make descriptions short and explain everything to them in a short way.

Do not add other matters that are not related to the gig. Also make your important keywords bold and highlight text wherever necessary. If you are thinking to highlight text, don�t make your description fancy with different so much bold text and underlined words.

Video

It is recommended by Fiverr to add a video to your Fiverr gig. It is a very important factor to get buyers for your gig. This is true because if your gig is something serious, then the buyers are also serious. There are some buyers on Fiverr who use their money very carefully. So if they watch a 60 second video of yours saying what you are selling and some features of the gig, the buyers will order your gig in comparison to those without the video. If you are camera shy or you do not want to speak in front of the camera then just make a 60 second video with a movie maker. Just add a soft music and make some slides or pictures stating about your gig.

Picture and Portfolio

Just upload relevant pictures about your gig. Create your own picture using paint or other simple software. Don�t even think to use Photoshop for a minute job of creating an image. Also upload some other pictures of your work you will do. Your portfolio is very important for buyers. So if they want a logo which you are providing but haven�t uploaded any projects, then the buyer will never turn back. Never copy others image and upload it as yours. Use google images to search for relevant pictures of your gigs and then turn on the label rights filter.

Tags

Use tags that are relevant to your gig. Do not use unnecessary tags for your gig. Your gig can be deleted because Fiverr will consider it as spamming. Also your Fiverr gig will be shown in such places where it is not required and as a result you will get no orders.

Getting more orders on your gig

Here comes the part of promotion. You can create a personal YouTube channel to promote your Fiverr gigs. Many people get flooded with orders by creating a blog about their services and promoting it. But the most helpful part is social media. Create a fan page on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and other social media websites to promote your gigs. Join Fiverr groups and promote your gig. But maintain a limit of your promotion because Fiverr can delete your gig anytime. This happened to many people and you can read on Fiverr forums about such cases. Got money on Fiverr? Then just buy some authentic traffic for your gig.

Tips to maintain the flow of Income

So if you are getting orders then it is necessary to maintain your income. You should continue getting more orders. By this way you can earn passive income by Fiverr. Some tips of doing this are �

Conversation with buyers

It is always important to be kind to your buyers and having a good conversation. Never use false language or talk rudely to your customers. If your buyers are happy with your service, they can come back again with more orders or refer your gigs to other people also.

Maintain your gigs 

If your gig is selling good and you have added some gig extras, then do not make any changes to your rates. If you are thinking that buyers love your gig and increasing the price of your gig extras (if any) will help you, then you are wrong. Just keep in mind that you are not the only one who is selling on Fiverr. There are people better than you or people who can be better than you if you do some silly mistakes.

Creating New gigs

Just never get stuck at limited number of gigs. Expand your gigs and create different revisions of your gig by giving much more to your buyers.

Promotion

If you are getting orders by promoting your gigs, then don�t stop promoting them. It is very helpful because as your social media presence increases, you will get much more orders. Also ask your customers to leave a positive feedback if they liked your gig.

A Trick that can make you rich

Well this has now become very common, but still you can earn huge piles of money by using this trick. It�s just selling PLR products. Make gigs like:-

�I will give you over 50 PLR articles related to lose weight�

�I will make you lose 20kg in 30 days�

Just provide them the PLR books/content and earn money. This has got a large market as you can find different PLR books. But never hide what you are offering to your customers. Otherwise it will lead to negative feedbacks. Just search some gigs on Fiverr that sell PLR articles and see what they are offering and how they are offering. You can see on Fiverr forums how people are generating money using this trick.

If you want PLR Articles worth 300$, do shoot us a mail, we will send you all for just 6$

Making your Fiverr profile shine

If your Fiverr profile is updated and has everything about you, then it is good because profile matters a lot. Write an awesome Fiver bio. Don�t write fake information or skills about you. Just write what you are but in a good way. Upload your profile picture. Check the profiles of top sellers. You will see what and how they present their profile. If your profile is neat and clean then there are more chances of getting orders on your gigs.

Conclusion

Well that�s all. I hope you may have understood how to use Fiverr. Just some more quick short tips that can help you �

Use Proper English and Grammar in your gigs and in your conversations with buyers.

Do not use Stock images.

Explain what you are offering.

Explain what the buyer will get.

Respond to negative feedback positively.

Use keywords relevant to your gig.

Beginner's Guide To Make Money Selling eBooks

You might have the talent, but you are scared to tread the path of a writer because you know that it is not easy. Instead, it might be countless number of years before you can really make it big. This is what many natural writers out there think who have the talent in them, but not the financial strength that is required to convert the write up into a book. It all sounds complicated, but not anymore, because now with the emergence of eBooks, things have become real easy, at least easier than the regular book publishing. So here I am with a complete newbie guide to start making ebooks and earn money from it.

eBooks Adding the Charm

Many writers upload their stories for free just to get the reaction from the audience, but the funny thing is that now with eBooks, you have the potential to earn your living, provided you do it right. It is time consuming, but you don�t need to spend fortune behind getting your book published. So, after doing all the hard work of compiling a story for your audience, you can easily spend some time to promote it and get in touch with your real audience. 

Making the eBook readers aware of your presence is important, so you need to take the help of various social networking sites and blogs to promote your books, or even learn some basic Blogging and start a new blog and promote it over there. Adding a hint of marketing strategy to your eBook, you will be able to sell your eBook successfully and if you have got what the audiences love, then you can spin some good amount of money out of it as well.

It all Starts from the Scratch

You might have read that by selling an eBook, one has become a millionaire and that's the reason you are trying your hands too, well this a completely wrong approach. You need to write properly and your content must be great in order to see audience coming in. If you do not have the content right, then no matter how cheap you sell, your eBook will go unnoticed. Price matters only when your content is good, otherwise nobody will give it a second thought. Kindle and iPads have made it easier for the self published writers to get their own niche out here. Publishing an eBook to thousands of potential audience out there is some kind of a thrill that even a novice writer can experience these days. 

There are millions of writers who are publishing their work worldwide and once you are in there you will see thousands of titles waiting to be taken up by a new writer. So, out there you are spoilt with choices, you just have to pick up a title and you will be good to go. 

You have to decide whether you want to work on fiction or you are more comfortable with non � fiction. Once you have decided on that you can then take the help of a tutorial or some kind of a guide, which will assist you in coming up with a great piece of work. Crime thrillers, paranormal romance or fantasy world works just fine for the audience. Actually these are the genres that are quite popular and you will get enough audience for this niche. So, if you are comfortable with this genre, then you already have huge audience ready to explore your work. 

While writing you must keep in mind that your work must not be filled with grammatical errors because when your audience is paying for your book, then they must get the best. In order to become a successful eBook publisher, then you must not work in haste, instead you must take your time to proof-read your work properly.

Length and Cover Matters

Most eBooks are short because when you are reading on your Smartphone, then it is easy to get distracted and sometimes it is tough to go through a huge novel out there. Therefore, if you keep it short, then it will be easier for your users to go through it without any major hitches. The readers here mostly go through the books while on a go, so you must keep that in mind while writing your book. This will help you in keeping your story short and sweet. 

In here, the cover also matters a lot because when you go online, the thumbnails are on display, so if you have an attractive cover display, then it will be easier for you to attract the audience to your book. You can buy stock photos for the cover or if you prefer it for free, you can take up a DSLR and shoot pictures related to your eBook and use it as a cover. I was planning to buy Nikon D3300, but after the rumors of Nikon D5500, I paused my purchase.

If you are not good at designing the cover, then you can hire someone who is good at this. It will cost you, but if you want to sell your book online, then you have to take it seriously and work towards presenting it in the right manner, else how you can imagine it selling several copies!

Set the Price

Now the next step is to upload the book with a suitable price. But, before you do that you will have to come up with a small description of around 4000 characters. This will help the audience to get an overview of your story. You don�t have to give out the twist and turns of your story, instead you can provide some sample.

If you are not sure how to go about the uploading process, then you can go through the video tutorials to make your work simple and easy. So, if you are done with the uploading, then it is time to set a suitable price for that. Amazon charges 70% of cover price, in case, your book is priced over �1 and if you have it priced at 75p, then you will have to give 35% for the titles. So, as a novice, it is better to keep the price to minimum.

Spreading the Word

You are all set with your book, but how would you make people out there aware of your book? 

You will have to spread the word through social networking sites and if you do not have a website of your own, then it is high time that you create one for yourself because it will come out handy for you in promoting your book. Your friends and family members will be a great support too. Explore all fields of promotion for your book. 

If you have done your job perfectly, then it is a matter of time before money starts rolling in. Don't start thinking that your very first piece will make you a millionaire, instead take your time and gather the experience to make yourself a better writer and in case you are good at writing, then you will surely make it big in here.

Qadabra 

If you're looking for AdSense alternatives, then Qadabra is the best option for you, if you want to maximize your profits by showing highly qualified and relevant ads.

Qadabra is a performance based robust advertising network that is created for publishers to show ads and monetize their blog and traffic. A good number of ads size is been allowed to use, that also have a popup ad that makes higher chances of maximizing the profits.

Media.net

Collaboration of two biggest search engine, Bing and Yahoo, together serves ad that publishers are benefited from by displaying them on their site and monetizing it. It's a contextual ad network that displays ad based on the content you create on your blog. For instance, if your content is about cooking recipe then it would should ads related to that.

Advantage of using Media.net is, it help to customize the ads more, as compared to Google AdSense. However, on contrary to Qadabra, it's approval process is slow.

We at iftiseo are using Media.net from the past 5 months. 

Infolinks

Infolinks, an another PPC (Pay-per-click) advertising network, that helps it's publishers monetize their site by showing ads on non-traditional places in the site. 

Infolinks system crawl your site's contexts, and pick up some keywords that has been fetched during the crawling process and show the ads upon the content and is fully customization that makes it a good AdSense alternative. However, it's disadvantages are: It works on a selected language.

Chitika 

Chitika is another adsense alternative but is very similar to Google AdSense. However it only shows contextual ads and is based on search query i.e. it shows ads only when the visitor lands on a page - of yours - from any search results. Chitka's threshold is $10, minimum. Check payout method is also available for which you require to cross $50, to avail it.

However, unlike Qadabra or Google AdSense itself, Chitika's ad performance is low and is required to have a high traffic to see improvement in concern to ad revenue.

BuySellAds

BuySellAds is another form of Google AdSense alternative, and is for those who have a great traffic to monetize. It's biggest disadvantage is you can't get approved in it if you are having low traffic to your blog. However, it's good if you've space to sell for advertisement in your blog which receives a good traffic in it. All you require to do is to, join it, add your site, and wait for someone to purchase the site's ad space.

Though Google AdSense is good for publishers to monetize their site, it's really crap sometime and people do urge to throw it off. However if circumstance is different, Don't get sad if you're kick-off from Google AdSense, cause there's these site like Qadabra, Chitika, Infolinks, etc. However if you ask, and is now quite confused with what to go with, I'd highly recommend Qadabra.

Complete Guide on Sponsored Reviews and Paid Posts

Hello Friends, Firstly it's good to be back writing posts on iftiSEO after a small break. So today I have come up with a very effective way which will help you get sponsored posts for your blog. It has been seen that most of the blogging/seo niche or even tech niche blogs are failing to make money through adsense or other ad networks, so the next thing that comes is Sponsored Reviews. 

But wait!!!

Most of us even after having good traffic stats, Alexa rank and even DA are unable to get advertisers for sponsored post. There are many more questions which will be answered in this post as I bring you the   Complete Guide on Paid Reviews and Sponsored Posts 

Note: By advertisers I mean the persons or the companies who pays us to write about thier product/service

And by the way this post is again based on what my readers wanted. I just did a small survey of what post they would like to have first at iftiSEO and this was their pick. Hurray for them!!!

What are Sponsored Posts/Reviews? 

Well, a Sponsored post is just an article or blog post published on your blog on a request of an advertiser for some fee. 

So it's basically like an advertiser comes to us asking for promoting his/her product by a blog post on our blog and pays us some amount. The amount may vary from 10$-500$ depending upon your website stats (Analytics, PR, DA, Alexa, etc.).

Many blogs make half of their monthly income by just posting sponsored content, so don't overlook this earning source.

When can we start getting advertisers for Sponsored Posts?

Hmm!! A very Common question. Well, yeah there are some criterias that the advertisers look for before approving any blog for a sponsored post.

Since the advertisers REALLY want to promote their products or services among thier audience they only look for blogs that:

• Can satisfy their needs, 
• Blogs that can help them build trust among the users
• Blogs that can meet upto thier expectations, 
• Blogs that can help them make sales, 
• Blogs that can gain them subscribers, 
• Blogs that can even bring them "TRAFFIC", 
• Blogs that can expose them to different audiences and a lot more...

So, the advertisers look for many things before coming up with a proposal and if your blog satisfies any of their needs you will get approved by them. 

Wait a sec!! There's one more question that may come in your mind!!! Is it ??

I mentioned some of the key points that the advertisers look for in your blog, but how ?? What do they check?? What stats do they prefer to analyse??? 

What stats does the advertisers look for in your blog

The advertisers don't have your blog's analytics stats or traffic stats, so they always go for checking up some external sources and analyse it. Let me list some: 

• Alexa Rank- This is probably the first and the most important thing an advertiser look before accepting your blog.

• DA and PA- Domain authority and Page Authority by Moz also explains a lot about your website/blog and due to this very reason most of the advertisers check these stats. 

• Social Stats- Big advertisers do focus on a blog's social following as they want their product review to get exposed everywhere on a blog network.

• Competition- Advertisers also look for blogs that already have posted sponsored reviews/posts before as this thing gives them a sense of relief that the blog is already trusted by other advertisers. 

• Ranking- I don't know whether advertisers check for this or not, but if I would be an advertiser I would definately check up a blogs ranking. By ranking I mean that I would just check up the blog's post and see where it got ranked (First page, second page or so on). 

I know that after reading till this point your mind still have some questions!! Ahh!! Let me try guessing them and answer them as well. So you might be thinking that what are the preferable stats a blog must have so that it can easily get approved by advertisers?

Aslo Read: 8 Insane Ways to Boost Social Media Traffic

Recommended Stats to get Sponsored reviews

Well the answer to this cannot be straight and simple but I will answer it according to my experience and I guess it will help you a lot, since I do get a lot of requests by advertisers. 

• Alexa Rank- Under 100k and you will start receiving requests or you can try sending requests. My first sponsored post on this blog came when my site was ranked 73000 in the world as per Alexa. Under 50k Alexa rank will never turn away the advertisers from your blog and such rank can even get you 100$ per post. My blog ranked at 23k brings me an average of 30-100$ per post depending upon many other things.

• DA and PA- Get a DA above 15 and 50% of advertisers will be ready to accept your blog. PA in this case matters less. 

• Social Stats- As mentioned above, this thing is just looked up by top advertisers who are willing to pay a good amount, so the social stats must be good enough to impress them. 

• Competition- Try to get some low rate reviews initially (like 1-2 posts) since it will show your blog's trust to future advertisers. 

• Ranking- Well if your blog follows the above 4 points, then it is obvious that your posts are getting indexed and ranked well on search engines. 

And now here comes again!! What??? I mean some more questions that might have come in your mind. So How to get advertisers once we fulfill all the above points ??

Once your blog gets some good stats, I mean once it fulfills the above points then it is obvious that your blog is creating a buzz in your niche and thus it will not be a difficult task for advertisers to reach your blog. So, once you get good stats you will automatically start getting advertisers mails in your inbox and thus you will be easily making like 20-100$+ per post.

But WHAT IF YOU DON'T GET ADVERTISERS FOR SPONSORED REVIEWS ??? Well yeah this thing is very common these days due to the increase in the number of blogs in your niche. Tech and Blogging/SEO niche bloggers face this thing a lot and believe me I have along got 40+ messages and mails asking on how to get sponsored reviews or posts for our blog.

No problem!! I have written this guide specially for you all who face this problem and thus I've got a solution to this thing. Excited?? Well I guess you are now liking the post as by now you have read 1000 words. So why not LIKE and SHARE this post on your network and help me spread the word. 

Hmm! Coming back to point now, I will be explaining you all 3 different & effective techniques of getting Advertisers for Sponsored Reviews or you can say PAID POSTS as others say. 

If something can't reach you, then try to reach to that thing yourself.

True isn't it!! Well this is what you will be doing now inorder to get advertisers. We will reach to theam by ourself using some techniques. 

3 Most Effective Methods of Getting Sponsored Reviews on your Blog?

I've already given you the idea above on what we will be doing, So lets get started!!

• Sponsored Posts Marketplace- 

One of the best ways to get Paid posts or Sponsored Review is by signing up on different Marketplaces and get your blog listed in it. Many advertisers still prefer to give Paid reviews through such sites as these marketplaces becomes a source of trust between the publisher and the advertiser. Moreover no cheating or scams can take place through it. 

Some top Sponsored Posts Marketplaces are: 

• SponsoredReviews.com - One of the best and the most trusted site where you can easily get advertisers who can pay upto 200$ per post. I got 50$ once through this site by just adding a link of advertiser in any one of my post.  Join this site now. The only con of this site is that they keep 50% of what the advertisers pays. 

• PostJoint - This is a small marketplace but still effective if your blog stands on top with the stats. Join PostJoint.

• PayPerPost- One more site, which I just found out googling last week. Do give it a try, join now

• BuySell.reviews- This is just a new site started by my friend and me, its still in the intial stages but once we get completed with everything you can earn upto 100$ per post using this site. Join it now

There are many more marketplaces that can be found up by googling. I've just listed out the one's which I used. Here is a list of 10 more such sites that pay you for writing posts on your blog.

• Google Search 

Well you must be confused?? Hmm!! But wait, its true that we can use Google Search to get Paid posts on our blog. Let me explain you the whole process.

First of all you have to find new advertisers under your niche, this can be done very easily by just performing a Google Search. Let's for example search for a keyword "Email Marketing". 

You can see that some ads of different companies/sites will be coming in google search results. Now all you need to do is target these companies. So just select some 3-5 NEW companies from the ads and open up their links, find their contact page/id and shoot them with a mail asking for a paid review of their service. 

My Friend Abid Omar have already explained the process completely on his blog with all the steps including "how to write the mail and send them". Check out his post: How to get sponsored reviews

There are 80% chances that these sites will pay you for a sponsored review on your blog since they are already investing in Google Adwords. 

• Competitor Blog

Again a new thing!! You might be confused again?? Are you ?? Well its natural since these things are quite new. So what do I mean by this Competitor Blog? 

Note: By Competitor Blog, I just mean a better blog of someone else (maybe your friend) under your same niche.

Lets come to the point directly!! No matter what niche your blog is on, you will always be having some competitor blogs. So in this technique we will take advantage of their blog.

How to do this: 

• First off, make a list of all top blogs under your niche in a notepad file.
• Now open each blog one by one and check if that blog have posted any sponsored post  recently or not, if YES just note down the advertiser/company/product name that your competitor blog have reviewed. 
• Repeat this for all of your competitor blogs and within just 10 minutes you will be having a list of around 15 different products. 
• Now what you have to do is just open up these product sites, get their contact id and mail them asking for writing a paid review of their service. 
• There are 80% chances that you will be approved. 

This method works like a charm as in this way we are directly going to contact only those advertisers who firstly have their product/service that fall under your niche and then secondly they have already paid other blogs for writing a review for their service. So it is obvious that they will pay you as well for writing one review. 

How much you Can Earn From A Single Review?

This heading ain't that much important in this post but I still prefer to make things look cool and I want you all to know the power of Paid reviews. 

Basically a good ranked website (as per ALEXA)  like iftiSEO.com can get upto 200$ per post, but to be frank I get an average of 60$ per post which is a good amount for a single review.

If you just write 4 sponsored reviews per month which is really an easy task then you can easily make 50*4=200$ minimum per month only through sponsored posts. Isn't it good ?? Many top blogs with such ranks even get 200$ per post and they are easily making 500+$ per month only through sponsored reviews and paid posts. So with this, you might have understood the power of it.

Some Important Points to Remember before Getting Started

So, I have explained you everything in the guide and I guess you understood and liked it so far, but wait!! Before you get started I want you to keep some points in mind. 

• Only accept Paid posts and reviews that comes under your blog category/niche to maintain your readership and subscribers.
• Don't compromise with regular posts, continue with regular posting of fresh quailty articles.
• Don't write fake reviews. 
• Don't give excess do-follow links. 
• Don't promote illegal stuffs/ sites/ products even though you get huge offers for it.

Final Verdict

Hmm!! So at this point I don't have questions in my mind regarding anything and I guess you are clear with everything as well. Are you ??? 

By the way you have reached like 2000 words and I guess I've explained a lot in these words. Why not share it or like it or tweet it or even stumble it. That's how a blog's social network works. If you still have any query regarding any method or anything just comment below and I will answer your questions.

Here are all 21 events listed with some extra details: 

New Year Event: This is one of the best event for event based blogging though the competition is much higher. Though it�s just a single day event but the number of searches this event gets is around 1000+k. My friend Imran from AllTechBuzz made around 2000+$ with this event. In fact he was ranked 1^st position in google with the keyword �Happy New year 2014�.  

Exam Results: You can target over 100 different results under this which makes this event huge. You can target JEE Main results, CBSE 10^th class results, CBSE 12^th Class Results, State Board results or any other board exam results held in your country. 

Olympics: Though this event comes once in every 4 years but you can still make a whole lot of money with this. You can easily target different sports and rank your posts higher. This events long run of around 10-18 days makes it big.

FIFA World Cup: Football is the biggest sport around the world and when it comes to world cup everyone follows it. So this event again is a 1 month event which gives you many opportunities to earn money. I have already seen many bloggers preparing on this event.

IPL:  One of the biggest cricketing event with a large number of followers. You can easily rank and earn with your IPL based blog throughout the event.

Elections: May it be of any country but believe me it is quite huge. I came across its power after seeing many blogs earn big through it.

Cricket World Cup: Biggest cricketing event that gets huge number of searches.

Christmas: A very big festival with very high number of searches especially from US and thus if you get your Christmas blog ranked on top, you will be earning huge since the average CPC from US is very high as compared to India and other countries

Super Bowl Finals: Americans favorite!! It becomes the most trending event across the social networks and television media and receives millions of searches. I have seen someone earn 1000+$ with a single video during super bowl. So this event also works well for YouTube uploaders too.

Valentine�s Day:This event gets the highest number of searches from India. You can make posts for all the 7 days (Rose Day, Teddy day etc.) and rank it on google.

Diwali: One of the biggest Hindu festival called the festival of lights. This event again gets thousands of searches hourly especially for Diwali wallpapers and messages.

Video Game Release (VGR) Event: This is the most widespread event and there is 70% chance of earning huge through it. For example, GTA is one of the most popular video game in the industry so you can make a blog for its upcoming game like for example GTA6 and rank it on the top keywords. This is quite lengthy but still the best events to work on for money as you have thousands of games to make blogs of. 

Oscar Awards: This event is the highest level of honor for the film industry and I have listed it in this list as this event gets huge number of searches for different keywords and the competition is really low. This event is really worth trying.

Holi: Another Hindu festival, called the festival of colors. This event gets huge internet searches for around 50+ keywords. Though the competition is high as almost every Indian blogger known to event based blogging will try it but it�s still worth having a try.

Halloween: This event again is very popular among the Americans. US based events gives a high earning due to their high CPC and hence I recommend this to try.

Friendship day:It�s not a huge event but if you get ranked with the main keywords you can easily get a 1000$ out of it.

WWE WrestleMania: It is the biggest event of WWE and if you are a fan of WWE you can easily make a WWE WrestleMania blog. The competion is quite low and you can get good results from it as well.

Ramadan And Eid: Biggest festival of Muslims. If you are a Muslim then making an Eid blog will be very easy task for you.

EL CLASICO: Only a football fan will be knowing about this. The match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid Club De Futbol is called EL CLASICO. This match is played around 2-4 times a year and you can easily make a blog for it. You can choose your domain name as Elclasico2015.com and rank your posts on top. I have tried this event on YouTube some 2 years back and the results were really amazing. The sad part was, my channel was not monetized at that time.

Grammy Awards:The biggest Music awards that again gets very much trending across Google USA. YouTube can also get you huge money outta this event.

Mother�s Day:Last but not the least it�s mother�s day. This event is quite small in terms of the searches it gets on google but still you can give it a try since the competition is quite low.
