Some long term bloggers may eventually ask “can I make money doing this?” while others are dreaming of money while they write their first post.
Here’s a few tips on building a money making blog.
The original bloggers didn’t expect to make any money from sharing their thoughts and ideas but many did, beyond their wildest dreams. Many became celebrities and the job offers poured in for top journalist positions, even book deals. Now though, a good percentage of the new blogs that are started in their thousands are born with the idea of it becoming a money making blog.
Search Engines love fresh text based content. While a flashy website filled with graphics may have visual appeal, such sites are not always Search Engine friendly. This is exactly why blogs are favored by Search Engines.
Adding a blog to your website or using a publishing platform such as WordPress to develop your website, is a best practice for conquering Search Engine Rankings.
1. Blogs are rich in text.
2. Blogs are updated frequently.
3. Blogs are capable of automatically informing Search Engines of updates.
Follow these simple techniques to improve Search Engine Rankings.
If you are business blogging (b-blogging) you are likely finding Real Simple Syndication (RSS) an informational bonus for you in developing knowledge-based content for your blog or website.
In reality you have participated in the successful marketing of someone else’s blog. Obviously this is good news for the blog you are gleaning information from, but it can also be a positive lesson for you as well.
Let’s follow this line of thinking to its logical conclusion.
1) An online business developed a blog in an effort to drive consumers to their online business.
Most people logon in the morning by doing one of the two following things:
- Navigating directly to their site (i.e your homepage is your own site)
- Opening up your favorite homepage and then navigating to your site (i.e. you like to look at news or jokes before starting work)
The problem is that neither of these options do anything to promote your site! Doesn’t this strike you as a bit odd? We put so much effort into writing articles, making sure the sites are SEO optimized, swopping links and paying for ad space, but when it comes to logging on to the Net (Something we all have to do every day) we don’t lend a moment’s thought to how we can use this simple every day act to work for us.
Deal of the day
