Few days now I’ve concentrated my time discovering the many hidden wonders internet could bring to people wanting to earn in the blogosphere. I have had sleepless nights wanting to learn the dynamics of make money blogging as fast as I could as a neophyte blogger. I had only little knowledge about the internet right now but I am learning day by day. What I did was reading and studying about how professional bloggers made a killing of their income in the internet. There were the likes of Darren Rowse, John Chow, John Cow, TechCrunch, Joel Comm, Leo Babauta, Abe Olandres, TonyRocks, Revival blog, GotRankingsMubin-amid, Javier and all others that are now enjoying the blogosphere with their 5 to 6 digit income in dollars.
This time guys I am going to feature here in my baby blog one of the most successful people in the blogosphere, like me, also started from nothing as far as knowledge in the computer and the internet. I’ve visited his blog and read about his bio and learn lots of things about him and his philosophy in life.
This guy is no other than Mr. Jerry Schoemaker, author of the very successful Shoemoney blog. Would you believe that Jerry once received a check from Google Adsense amounting to $ 132, 994.97 in just one check? Well, that’s how Jerry did it. Making a killing of his income during the launched of ringing tones in 2005. With Jerry has achieved, this only goes to show that there is indeed money in the blogosphere, for people who want to put their name a byword in the industry. Making money online is hard for those who don’t give enough time but for those who put their heart and soul into it they discover the very vast opportunities of changing their lives from a mere neophyte personal blogger to a professional and respected blogging magnate like Jerry. His success in the blogosphere is something worth the admiration and respect - especially for the thousands of make-money-wanna-be’s in the blogdom.

Jerry’s Philosophy And Business Model
1. Embrace new trends and look for opportunities to exploit them. For example, SMG entered the ring tone market early, captured traffic and has monetized it. Finding angles and exploiting them for profit is a key aspect of SMG. Maximum and diverse revenue streams are built on fairly narrow marketing concepts that are then diversified. This is what Jeremy Schoemaker calls, “The Coke Theory. If you are already making Coke then you can make Diet Coke, Cherry Coke, etc and turn a profit on those as well. A company can achieve growth through small degrees of separation between sites, maximizing diversity within a small industry.
2. Focus on what you know. From the beginning of SMG, Schoemaker focused on the aspects of marketing that were second nature to him. He built his sites on those natural marketing principles while running the backend. Web design was a secondary skill, so he focused on the marketing of the sites, which then built revenue. Later he would invest in a professionally done design. Schoemaker continues to focus on existing sites and expand their income potential by building a network of sites centered on a central theme. Again, the “Coke Theory.
3. Small changes can equal big revenue. Once a base of traffic and revenue is built, don’t be afraid to experiment with the site. Once the traffic is there, small changes in design and structure can make big changes in revenue. Ad placement, recurring subscriptions and affiliate marketing can ad value to a site without disrupting the base of revenue. Monitor revenue daily, even hourly to see how your changes have affected revenue. If it’s not working, you can always go back to the way it was.
