Is Blogging Keeping You Poor?

Posted by Judy on November 17, 2008

Comments: 3 Comments to Read

They?re laughing at us. Did you know that?

Informative article from Copyblogger:

Right now, someone who refers to himself as an ?Internet marketer? is sitting in his bedroom, dressed in nothing but his undies, laughing at how hard bloggers work for how little money we make.

We drive ourselves to creative exhaustion by expecting ourselves to pump out a never-ending stream of remarkable content ? a stream that, even in the best of cases, only pulls in a couple hundred bucks a month in advertising revenue.

And the guy in his undies? He?s one of the thousands or even tens of thousands of people making six figures online every year. Sure, he worked hard in the beginning, but not anymore. Now he?s connected and focused on growing revenue, not creating an endless supply of free content.

15 Days Of Marketing Your Blog

Posted by Judy on November 13, 2008

Comments: Be the First to Comment

Marketing and getting traffic is what it’s all about with your blog. Find out how Jessica Knows is handling marketing with her 15 day challenge. Here’s what she had to say:

The number one question I get asked by other bloggers and entrepreneurs is,

?How do you get so much coverage of your projects and your brand??

I?ll tell you. I stopped looking at all those public relations people as the enemy. Sure, some of them have not a clue about approaching me, or anyone for that matter, the right way, but I?ve made it a point to make PR people my friend. And you should too. My theory is I?d rather be pitched to and say no than to not be pitched to at all. In a way, a lot of what I do to promote my own brand is PR so I appreciate what these professionals are doing.

Adding A Tip Of The Day To Your Blog

Posted by Judy on November 10, 2008

Comments: Read the First Comment

When you?re trying to think of new ways to increase interest and traffic for your website, consider the use of a very simple tool that people will enjoy. Many people like to read a ?tip of the day? in many different areas. By creating a ?tip of the day? in your particular area of expertise that relates specifically to your own products and services, you serve two purposes:

You provide your target audience with valuable tips and information on a consistent basis.
You keep your website in front of your target audience, reminding them that you have products and services when they are ready to browse or buy.

Setting your ?tip of the day? up on your website in a neatly designed box, with a specific graphic or colors that attract attention, or with some other unique design feature, will make it more appealing and easy to spot. Don?t repeat tips or you?ll bore your readers. Consider new and unique tips as much as possible. Search the online resources for websites that offer help in creating tips, work with an experienced copywriter to create a long list of tips that you have available at your fingertips, research information in your area of expertise, and find new ways to provide valuable information via simple daily tips.

wpthemedesigner.com is changing and added to it’s basic themes. Here’s what he has to say:

As for my WordPress Themes, they have also changed.. There are lots of booming wordpress theme designers lately, and if you are looking for something simple and easy to use then I am sure they can take care of it. As for me, I want to tackle and release themes with higher functionality and usability. Themes using Custom Fields, ajax tabs (which you’ve seen on Green Blitz), Featured Post, Featured News Slideshow etc.. The kind of features which you will most likely see on Premium Themes Only. Take a look at the designs and you’ll see what I mean. These themes will be released for the month of November except for the Centric Theme which I might drop for something better.

Let me know your favorites!!

Design #1: Rewire Theme – 2 Columns, Ajax Tabs, Numbered Page Navigation, Custom Field Image on Each Post.
Design #2: Alpha Theme – Magazine Style, Featured News, Numbered Page Navigation, Custom Field Image on Each Post.

Humor – Pass It On

Posted by Judy on November 6, 2008

Comments: Read the First Comment

It?s true that people love to pass around funny or unique postings and content from websites. After all, that?s what viral marketing is all about – spreading the word!

Don?t forget to include some humor in your website occasionally. Even the most serious products or services can use a little humor now and then. You can include graphics, cartoons, funny quotes, or other amusing ideas. Make it something unique that is relevant to your website?s theme.

You may find that humor is one of the best ways to keep people coming back too. It gives your readers a comfort level with your website and helps them feel that they know you better too. One of the nice things about using this strategy is that is free or inexpensive.

Internet Marketing and Bloggers

Posted by Judy on November 4, 2008

Comments: Be the First to Comment

HandsatzThere are over 61 million results when you type in the word Blog?What does that say to the new website business owner? The obvious thing it says is everyone has an opinion and they are more prone to share on the web then in person. A more important view to take is there are 61 million possible clients to purchase your product and share your website. Word of mouth is now and always has been a great way to advertise.
The bad part about blogging is the fact that it allows individual opinions to be posted live and in color for the entire internet community to view. So you want to try to follow the old adage about pleasing the world. Remember you can?t please everyone so don?t try. Try to view it as individual critiques. If most of the critiques are in favor of what you have to offer keep going in the direction your in. If the bloggs are critical about certain points, use this to tweak your website or product.
WAIT! There is more to read… read on »
