If you have been a reader of Bloggin-Ads since the beginning then you have probably read all my posts about money making and how it shouldn’t be done through blogging. Since I haven’t been doing my posting as much this week, I decided to do yet another “Super Review”, which means not 1, not 2, but 3 blogs will be reviewed in this post today. Before you continue reading, I would like to introduce to you that this review is going to be about “money making” blogs with a twist of a finance blog that provides the financial community.

Kenneth Elliot is the man behind this blog and here he will show his viewers how to become an “Market Associate“. Kenneth is a computer programmer that supposedly got fed up with the “corporate” life and therefore moved his career towards affiliate marketing full time. So what do “Market Associates” do anyways? What they do is market products by others and return with profit. You can basically put this together with affiliate marketing because it is pretty much the same thing. This means that I could purchase a blog right now, but I flip it a week later for profit.
What is there to offer?
For a money making blog, it is pretty much posts with a lot of reading towards that field. I did get a chance to check out Market Associate to see what Kenneth really has to offer. The only problem that is striking at me back and forth is there are grammar and spelling problems here and there. Many big bloggers can’t stress enough that posts should be proof-read before published. I do admit that I rarely proof-read, but it simply is a thing to consider here.
Based on Kenneth’s posts, I can see that he posts pretty frequently with some great posts here and there, but the traffic to his site just isn’t up there. This is supposedly a 2 year old blog and it seems like he just started posting. My suggestion for Kenneth or anyone wanted to create a blog in this niche is to market it somehow and marketing doesn’t always involve money. Another thing is to start proof-reading to make readers be regulars. Below you’ll find a few posts that enlightened me:
- Top Commentators Prize (sorry I couldn’t help myself
) - The Not Have Demons
- Affiliate Marketing – Where To Start?
Doesn’t that image above strike a resemblance? That’s correct, that image was half of what John Chow used back when he didn’t have his current UBD theme yet. And you know what the coincidence is? The blog I’m about to review is about “money making online” just like John Chow.

The man Jeff is going to show us how to make money online through this “RIP-OFF” John Chow themed blog He’s going to show if an average Joe is able to make money online just like the successful yet evil Chow and Shoemoney. Jeff will be tracking his progress throughout this process and he hopes that his teaching will benefit the readers.
What does this RIP-OFF’er have to give?
I must say that I’m actually impressed with Jeff’s content through this blog. I went back a few weeks and it seems like he likes to publish his posts in parts, which allows the reader to follow his tips step by step. His posts are short, but very straightforward. I was able to get to the point of the post in just a minute or so.

I’m not sure of this guy’s name, but he calls himself the “Prince of Wall Street”. He is a student at a prestigious college, which he won’t name, but he mentions is similar to Harvard and Princeton. First thing is first, as a blogger you should never hide your identity whatsoever. You should provide all the information possible for readers to trust in you. He is now waiting for a full-time job at yet another “prestigious” place called a bank.
The “Prince” will be sharing his life as a college student and a future or current investment banker. He has much experience in this financial field including brokerage sales. He’s hoping that he will be able to provide some sort of humor that goes along with working in banking and give perspective to future investment bankers.
A student’s way to success
What this “Prince” blogs about can be connected to newspaper articles or TV news that we watch. The Prince of Wall Street blog is using a news theme where viewers are able to find out the latest financial news on the net. Now I give him props for actually typing up these posts in his own words, but there is help needed in the traffic area because there aren’t as much viewers.

Thank you for the review of my website. Even though it is not everything that I want to hear I appreciate the truth in your statements. Grammar problems are apparent but I am not a proclaimed writer. My approach is to get the job done and take action. Most don’t even do that. I have taken action and put together a website that can and will teach something that will help someone accomplish what I have already achieved. MarketAssociate is a work in process that I just started taking seriously in the past 2 to 3 months after leaving my job in Nov. 2007. So, believe me.. What I speak of on this site is truly what I live. I have been though the boss telling me that I can’t work my business at lunch or people hiding around corners trying to see if I am working on side projects. I’ve had people talk negative about my dreams. That does not faze me. I know what I want and I will do a little each day to get it. But, once again, I thank you for the review…
