Making money with blogs is fairly simple if you know what to do with your blog to make it profitable. From layouts to content, there are ways to start making money with blogs. As more and more people turn to well-written blogs for information, making money with blogs will become much easier.

First, content is king. Although your layout may have some impact on your visitors, content is the most important part of your blog. You need to learn to write and write often so you are making money with blogs. After all, a true blog is really a weblog that tells the reader about something. While you may not be making money with blogs about your dating life alone, your blind-date escapades can draw in traffic to your site with the right kind of writing.

Blogs allow you to write about anything from your cat’s favorite toys to the political hot potato of the day. Making money with blogs, though, requires you to get into a niche. Most people use AdSense for making money with blogs, and the more targeted your blog may be, the more targeted the ads may be. If you are writing about dating, you will want to use a lot of dating keywords in your content. This way the AdSense bots will pick up on the topic and the ads around your content will all be focused on dating sites. Since you will be making money with blogs from the number of clicks on those ads, your content needs to reflect the type of ads on the sides of your page. This way, your visitors will read your content about online dating and then click on the ad right next to it.

Making money with blogs also means keeping your content fresh. You need to update your blog virtually daily. Visitors like consistency. Once they find a blog they like, they come back often to see what is going on. Good bloggers have very loyal followers. They also click on ads. Be sure you are posting fresh content regularly so that your visitors are compelled to find out what happens next. This will increase your chances of making money with blogs.

You also need to keep your posts clear if you want to be making money with blogs. The spiders that crawl over your content will be looking for sales pitches or nonsensical content. Your blog needs to be commercial free, but you need to write with the intent of your visitors ultimately clicking on the ads. Making money with blogs means knowing how to motivate when you write. If you do not know how to do that, then you may want to take some writing courses or hire someone to write your posts.

Are static websites being replaced with dynamic blogs? During the past year, several marketing and communication pros suggest that a trend has begun. And one of the best-known ad agencies in the country is already on board. The move makes sense for several reasons, as we’ll discuss. But first, are blogs really replacing websites?

The look and feel of blogs has changed since their introduction. You’ll notice static web style pages on almost every blog you visit. When taking a closer look, it becomes clear blogs are not, in essence, replacing websites. The two are merging and the result is a full-functioning communication tool - a better mousetrap if you will.

Whether you consider your blog a “tab” on your website or your website a “tab” on your blog - let’s face it, aren’t they becoming one in the same? What’s driving the merger?

One driving force is simplicity; another is the recent proliferation and success of organized Word of Mouth (WOM) marketing campaigns. WOM is red hot and adding a blog to your web presence is a mandatory step when launching a campaign.

Blog Benefits

1. Static web pages quickly become stale. Blogs are dynamic and remain fresh.
2. Blog software is inexpensive or free, user friendly, and software update costs are minimal.
3. Contact information, portfolios, and similar “web style pages” are easily incorporated into blogs
4. Blog conversations build relationships with your clients and prospects
5. Potential clients get to know how you think, as well as learn how well you communicate and write.
6. The numerous links in blogs are favored by search engines such as Google and Technorati
7. When professionally maintained, blogs are excellent word of mouth (WOM) marketing tools

Challenges Remain

1. It is time consuming to post relevant and compelling content daily and respond to comments
2. Time spent blogging takes away from billable time for service professionals
3. Overworked and under budgeted marketing departments lack the resources to staff blog projects
4. Blog management plans must be prepared, and marketing budgets modified and approved (i.e., reallocation of website expenses to blog development and staffing)
5. Blogs still have somewhat of a “wild west” reputation and they are not considered mainstream by most - although the trend has started, we’re not there yet.
6. Corporations are slow to change. Replacing a corporate website with a blog is a difficult concept for marketing managers to sell management.

To blog or not to blog, that is the question. It really isn’t a question at all. If you have a business you should, no make that, have to blog.

Blog, shorthand for weblog, began as an online diary where bloggers would chronicle, for all interested, the mundane doings of their day. There is some reader interest in this journaling, but only to the extent it makes you feel better about your lot in life.

Business owners quickly learned a better use for blogs. There is a hungry cyber audience looking for advice and you sure can advise in your online writing. Write enough, engage readers, and you become an expert. Imagine customers asking you to solve their problem, and oh, by the way, sell them what they need.

The big search engines like blogs a lot. Most bloggers see their website ranking and fortunes rise. There are thoughts as to why this is so, but suffice it to say it has to do with content. The more relevant information you provide, the higher you rank.

When you build a blog, look for a free template. They are professional looking and easy to use. There are lots of them found online. Google’s Blogger is one of the top choices. To get popular, follow the same rules you do with your website. Pen lots of meaningful content, link to other like blogs or websites, and make the weblog easy to navigate.

What should you write about? Information for which your customers are hungry. What is that? Think about the questions you get from customers every day. Still not sure. Build a box on your blog where readers can pose queries.

Start building a blog. It is a critical marketing move. You should, no make that have to start now.

Okay, you’ve decided start a blog and you’ve put together a rough publishing plan: how often you’re going to post long and short articles, who is writing, who is editing, who is managing the webmaster-related tasks (blogmaster). [See link at bottom.]

If you’re a small business owner, you’re probably going to have to wear all of these hats. But if you’re prepared, the next step is to set the blog up so you can start posting articles (sometimes called “entries” or even “posts”). (All links shown at the end of this article.)

You have two blog hosting choices:

1. Set up your blog on a free host such as Google’s blogspot.com, or Typepad’s Livejournal or WordPress’s WordPress.com.
2. Set up your blog on your own domain that you’ve registered and that you own.

This article will focus on choice #1. A follow-up article will discuss choice #2.

If you’ve visited any number of blogs, no doubt you’ve seen little text ads crying out “free blog”. There are numerous choices and this article has no intention of listing all of them. While I have registered with several free hosts including Typepad and Wordpress, I’ve found that Google’s blogspot.com uses a very simple, easy to use blogging platform and client (interface) called Blogger.com - so I’ll focus my example on these services.

To clarify, Blogger.com has both the blogging “platform” and the “client“. A blogging platform is the software that generates the blog pages for you. Examples include MovableType, WordPress, TextPattern, Drupal, and Blogger.com. Every one of these platforms has an administrative panel page where you can manage your blog - add, edit, and delete articles; add article categories; etc.

The admin panel page is typically called the blogging client and its features are platform-specific. However, there are standalone software applications - also called blogging clients - that you can download to your computer, and which do not work from a web browser.

With these standalone clients, you can write your blog entries and pretty much post to any of the platforms. That means you can have one client to manage multiple blogs on several free (or private) hosts. (But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.) I’ve tried numerous standalone clients, but use two of them exclusively.

One is Zoundry.com’s BlogWriter, which is a true standalone client. The other is Performancing.com’s Firefox Extension (PFF), which works as a panel within the Firefox web browser. (While I find both of them highly efficient, I am not necessarily endorsing them.)

Other choices are Qumana, w. bloggar, Loch Journal, amongst many others. For those of you familiar with Microsft Word, Blogger.com has a plugin that lets you manage your blog directly from MS-Word. You don’t have to learn a whole new interface - beyond the setup stage.

As this article is intended for absolute beginners to blogging, I’m focusing on Blogger.com’s platform and default interface. The steps are relatively simple, and you don’t require a degree in computer programming to set up a blog - unlike some of the other platforms.

1. Go to http://www.blogger.com and sign up for a free account. (I’m using them as an example. Feel free to pick whatever you like.) The form will ask you to enter your real name, a screen name, a password, and email address. If you have a GMail (Google Mail) account, use that. For your screen name, keep in mind that it will appear at the bottom of each article/entry that you post live to your blog. So pick something suitable. Rules for names are provided.
2. Now create a new blog.
• You’ll be asked to enter a title for the blog and a sub-domain name.
• The title will appear at the top of your blog at all times - unless you change the page template. (More in a future article.)
• The sub-domain name will be part of the domain “blogspot.com”. For example, if you are starting a blog to promote your plumbing fixtures store, you may want to use something like “home-plumbing-tips”.
• This will mean that your blog address/URL will be http://home-plumbing-tips.blogspot.com. (Some bloggers and readers don’t like hyphenated sub-domain names, but I see nothing wrong with them.)
• You could, of course, use something like “plumbing-fixtures”, but it will not convey the idea that you are providing helpful tips.
• Now it’s entirely possible that someone has already registered the subdomain you want on blogspot.com. If so, you’ll get a warning message and you’ll have to choose another sub-domain name.
• As a result of this, some of my blogspot.com blogs have fairly lengthy sub-domain names, which are easier to remember because they’re hyphenated.
• You’ll also be asked a number of other optional questions, and be given a chance to enter the URL of a digital picture of yourself, if you have one elsewhere. (There are several services, including http://flickr.com, that let you upload pictures and graphics for free. The only drawback is that the terms generally say that in return for free hosting, other people can use your images, with some conditions.)
• Next, choose a page template. All of the free hosts have some pre-formatted page templates. Pick one from the samples displayed, and you can customize it later - although this does take a bit of technical know-how. Once the template is selected, Blogger.com (or what have you) will create the blog for you, and you can start posting entries.
3. Post a “Welcome to Such and Such Blog” entry.
• You should see a button that says something like “start posting“. What’ll happen is a edit page with a form will appear. There will be fields for the article/ entry title, the body text, and a date/time stamp (which defaults to right now). There will also be a number of tabs that let you use the large text area like a rich-text editor. Play with the tabs and “buttons” a bit; get acquainted.
• On blogger.com at least, there is a link that says “show preview“. You can click this link and see what your article will look like formatted (but not with your template features). When you’re happy with the “welcome” article, click the “publish” button. (If you’re not happy but don’t want to lose what you’ve written, you can click the “save as draft” button and come back later to edit and publish.)
• Depending on the time of day, and since this is a new blog, the article should publish very quickly. You’ll see a message like “100% complete”. Voila, you now have a live blog. You can click on the “View site” tab to have a look.

You now have a blog. Get acquainted with the adminstration panel. Most of the popular blogging platforms have fairly thorough details, but sometimes they may be a bit too technical.

Now that you have your blog live and running, the next step is to post several more relevant articles in short succession, then start promoting your blog. I’ll talk about blog promotion in Part 4 (after 3b, which is an overview of setting up a blog on a private domain).

When and if you should be surveying the marketplace for a great offer on fridges and freezers buying on line might often be an incredible way to make sure you conserve time & cash. Do not choose to waste your valuable time searching round numerous high-street businesses in a search for the choicest bargains - simply get to a computer and log on and a whole brand new world of fridges is waiting for you on the internet.

Still, with countless online options how do you look into which one may make sure you conserve your cash on fridges whilst even so ensuring you pick up a good quality product. As a rule of thumb should you buy your new fridge from a shop on your high-street then you should not in reality have many significant concerns about securing your goods from their website, and as people all realise that you could regularly pick up much better value price tags on the internet

Briefly reading over a comprehensive shoppers guide is consistently the best place to begin when you’re surveying the market place for fridges - buyers guides are oftentimes packed with a wealth of info and also bring up issues you conceivably might not have thought through by yourself. These considerations include; energy consumption, additional features & storage capacity amongst additional things. Looking on low grade websites for top brand fridges is a waste of your time.

Don’t regularly go with the ‘cheapest price’ - awfully oftentimes the first cost you happen upon on a web-site might well not include value added tax or delivery charges also, when you reach the payment stage you can often be charged a lot more than you first thought.

What date do you need it by? Not all on-line shops guarantee rapid home delivery and if your original fridge has just broken you conceivably might not want to wait four weeks for your brand new fridge So forever check what the estimated delivery day will be.

Find out the returns policy - fridges are a tricky thing to purchase; sometimes they look fantastic in the showroom or on a web site but once you get it home you find it does not complement your kitchen at all. Therefore, you should always be careful.

Conjure up in your mind broad rolling meadows with runs of cattle or stock of some type, all discriminate by virtue of a registered brand. That’s a most common and accepted understanding of branding.

You have just now used your mind to develop a picture that promises easy recall. You may not yet be aware but there’s always a new secret marketing aid being developed and made available … nearly every day of the week.

I’d be one of many that could point out who the target group is for all of these hidden treasures and industrious salespeople. But if you’re reading this, then take a bow and a large step forward! You are in fact the “demand” component of the supply that’s being generated.

Now what happens when you also join the ranks of the industrious? It doesn’t take a whole deal of thinking to recognize that you can easily get lost in the traffic, especially if you are starting up a business of your own. Being known as an absolute is a very real way of defeating some of that traffic; not the only way but a very effective one.

Your general copy writing and headline creation tactics certainly help the cause but in a saturated market environment you need to embrace every advantage.

Exactly what then, can you do, to be noticed? Question well asked and the answer ….. consider branding yourself.

The reason branding works is that it gives individuality to the value you provide to those that come to your site. If they don’t come to your site then its through your e-mails, e-zines, blogs and advertisements.

It makes folk recall your Site and perhaps even prompts them to bookmark. Do it right and they might even opt to scan for forthcoming product that carries your brand name.

You’ll be far more noticeable if you can create something that settles on someone’s mind. Catch the imagination of your readers, use unique or quirky themes and make that difference that magnetizes your audience.

By way of example, let me relate a branding experience using a quick story…. tangent if you will.

There’s a huge red rock located in the middle of Australia that was at one time known
as Ayers Rock. More recently it has adopted the term Uluru.

The rock and the country around it belong to a group of Aboriginal people called Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara.

So, the people also have been renamed and are now referred to as “Anangu” because it’s easier.

These people have a history rich in story and in this case they identify the various faces of the rock using that approach.

One saga goes something like this….. A long, long time ago, in the time of the Tjukurpa, which the Aborigines call the dreamtime, the animals gave shape to a rock.

There was a young woma python, or Kuniya, that was passing by and was surprised by a group of Liru, which are venomous snakes. Kuniya, not being from that area, was affronted by the Liru who threw spears at the python and killed him.

So hard did they throw their spears that the points made holes in the rock.

The Pythons ancestor, also a Kuniya, was so angered by this that he killed one of the Liru with a stick.

So, on the west face of the rock there are holes that are said to be from the points of the Lirus’ spears and on the south face of the rock, Kuniya the woma python can still be seen as a dark wavy line on Uluru.

Now the story in itself doesn’t mean a whole lot but if you are ever able to visit Uluru, you will happen to find a south and a west side of the rock that now has individuality because it’s been branded.

To any one else this is simply a rock but to you, you now know there exists Western and Southern rock walls that hold special understandings. These are unique and remembered even if not in the original light.

Get yourself branded and stand out from the rocks that exist in your niche marketplace.

Start with your ads, an article or two and build from that into your website. Regardless of what appearance might do to enhance any efforts, it’s generally how you stick in a customer’s mind that produces results.

As you’ve probably been reading, there are basically three problems many webmasters have with web feeds (that is, among those who are already familiar with them on a basic level).

The three concerns I hear the most are:

“How do I deal with the bandwidth hit?”

“Is there a way to include information that isn’t in the automated resource I use to populate my feed without touching any code?”

and

“Where can I find a cost-effective, simple way to display feeds on my site?”

Say Goodbye to Bandwidth Overages with FeedBurner

http://feedburner.com

If you’re a publisher, chances are, you’re familiar with the bandwidth increase that occurs every time your audience reads the latest update to your feed that for some webmasters lead to the possibility of exceeding monthly bandwidth limitations. There’s an easy solution.

Burn your feed with FeedBurner. They’re happy to take the burden off your server. (And yes, they say, FeedBurner is one word.)

Whether you’ve just created your news feed or you have been RSS-ing for years, you can create a free account at their site. Their service will also:

• translate your feed from Atom to RSS or vice versa,

• make a browser-friendly page that explains what web feeds are to the new user,

• allow you to splice any link into your feed using some of the more popular social bookmarking services.

FeedBurner also allows you to study your demographic by giving you statistics on how many request have been made for your feed contents, down to the item if you like.

Though I offer both the burned version of my feed and the original to my audience, they love the extra information my FeedBurned link provides them.

Social Bookmarking -Share More Info with Less Hassle

http://furl.net

http://bloglines.com

http://del.icio.us

Social bookmarking allows you to create a bookmark online, and share those bookmarks via RSS.

Some services even allow you to share your collection of links, as you can do with the service from del.icio.us . Furl.net, newly acquired by LookSmart, also adds the capability of saving an old version of a page you have visited with the bookmark feature. And at Bloglines, you can get ezine subscriptions via feed by subscribing through a special address they give you.

All three of these services can be coupled with FeedBurner to splice external links - or other internal links from your own site - into the “burned” version of your feed.

Display links on your site for free with RSS Digest

http://www.bigbold.com/rssdigest/

You’ve heard about the value of displaying feeds from other sites (with permission of the publisher, of course) on your site. The theory is that the frequently updated headlines add freshness to your site, which results in more frequent visits from search engine spiders. This can lead to better rankings for the site carrying the headlines, and more backlinks for the feed publisher. Everybody wins.

For the most part, I’ve found this to be true, with a feed that frequently updates, at sites that have suitable content for both the visitor and the spiders to enjoy.

The trouble for many smaller web property owners is finding a cost-effective manner in which to employ this technique. Most free tools that do this with javascript are fine for site publishers who are using the headlines for content, but if you also want the search engine benefits, it doesn’t help as many spiders don’t register content that appears in this format.

RSS Digest will do this for you in HTML, as recently reported in Search Engine Journal.

It’s not as sophisticated a tool as CARP or RSS Equalizer, but if you want to offer your feed to an audience and they don’t mind using an IFRAME or pasting PHP code into their pages, this will do the job just fine.

If you’re good at supplying tips, finding resources, or locating fresh information, after viewing some news feeds for yourself, you might find that you’re ready to take the next step and publish one. If you’re already a publisher, utilizing some of these free tools may help you build a better feed.

Either way, good luck!

“You will fail! There’s no chance you could ever do such a thing, so don’t even try!” Has anyone ever told you something like this? Have these words ever toppled your great plans for success? How did it affect you? Did you put your plans away for another year? Every morning I make my 10-step commute from my bedroom to my office where I turn on my computer, and of course, talk radio. One day I was listening to the Rush Limbaugh show where he was talking about golfing, one of his favorite topics. Some listeners don’t share his love for golf. But after he finished his story, I think even listeners who think the word club is just a place to hang out at late at night, enjoyed this story. He described some very technically advanced golf clubs that pro golfer Tom Watson had given him as a gift. Everyone told Rush not to even try to use these clubs, saying his golf skills were lacking. The reason? The sweet spot on these clubs is the size of a quarter, which required the talent of a professional golfer. Well you guessed it, Rush used the clubs and golfed better than ever. His point: people will tell you not to try something more than they will tell you to go for it. Your mission: do it! Don’t listen to people who say you can’t do something. It’s a good thing Jean Harper didn’t listen. In 1959, Jean was in the third grade, and her teacher asked her to write about what she wanted to do when she grew up. Jean wrote that she wanted to be a pilot, but her assignment came back with an F on it because her teacher told Jean that women couldn’t be pilots. Fortunately, in high school Jean had a teacher who told her the opposite, that she could do it, which gave Jean the motivation to pursue her dream. In 1978, she became one of the first three female pilot trainees accepted by United Airlines and one of only 50 women airline pilots in the nation at the time. Now’s your turn: What kind of business do you want to start? Are people telling you to not even try? Look, nothing great was ever accomplished because it was easy. Also, people who try and those who accomplish great tasks have something in common: They enjoy what they’re doing. Have you ever heard of a world-renowned chef who hated to cook? Or a sports star who hated her sport? Probably not. If you’re thinking about what kind of business to start, first look inside. Think about your likes, your passions, your God-given talents. Use these as your guides to living your dreams. Can you honestly say the following words: “I love what I’m doing with my life. I can’t imagine making a living any other way.” If not, this should be your daily goal! Just try it. I dare you.

Mobile broadband has been advertised as the latest technology in the Web that is increasingly looking like it holds the key to the future of high speed broadband. Only recently, broadband could be only available via a normal phone line, high speed connection, which connects to your personal computer via a modem. WI FI broadband has become very spread, whereby the ADSL modem is attached to the PC terminal through a wireless network, and many people are throwing away ADSL cables. But mobile broad band is pushing internet connections further and offering another important step in the future of internet; a broadband connection almost anywhere without the need for a traditional landline cable.

The concept of connecting to the internet with a working broadband line anywhere is surely interesting to many people, like those who generally connect with their computers not from home. People who travel a lot for business meetings are the potential users for mobile high speed connection since they will welcome the option of not having to search for a working WI-FI public hotspot for a proper internet connection. Mobile high speed internet reaches much further than that, and as prices soon begin to decrease and connection lines improve we will soon experience a great number of high speed internet users applying for mobile high speed internet.

Mobile high speed internet works by using a portable modem to a pc, generally called a ‘dongle’, from where your PC is able to browse the internet by using whichever mobile broad-band line the customers have registered for. Most companies are now packaging mobile ADSL lines and coverage of the networks, known as third generation networks, which covers more than 90% of England.

Speed has been an important issue for any internet line and mobile broadband suppliers at the beginning struggled to market potential mobile users that one day mobile broad-band could match up with conventional, ADSL landline high speed internet. Connections are better, however, with Vodafone reporting mobile broadband lines of up to nearly 8 mb, which is in line with some of the fastest landline internet broadband. Some countries, including the UK, are ready to sponsor with huge resources in fibre optic cable networks, in order increase broadband line to up to 100mb. Work without wires with mobile broadband from Compare Broadband UK.

In New Zealand an important telecom provider has reported that mobile broadband networks are going to develop rapidly over the coming years and they have announced that mobile broad band is going to deliver speeds of up to 100mb by end of 2011, which is when the United Kingdom’s fibre optic network is due to be completed. This could create a major step in industry thinking, with the development of an efficient super fast mobile broad-band connection network having remarkable advantages over the installation of thousands of kilometres of fibre optic cables, without mentioning the practical point of view.

The eerie scene in front of me Displaced by the foggy glass Calls me forward into my Displaced motion of feeling. You saw me as you walked past Tired and heavy From a long adventure, Your eyes passed through me As if I were your mere reflection Exhibiting the nights obstacles. I never saw you enter But knew you were here Looking for something Or someone Yes I am the one in the window The one that you chose Chose to gaze upon amongst All those busy shells Marching on as they were told to The air around me is weighing Down with every breath That is full of something to say I remain at this window Waiting for your eyes to spot Something of what you were Searching for As you passed by earlier The look of confusion on your face Twisted my hopes of recognition Oh what I would give To be the one you sought out On that rainy afternoon The mascara tracks that quickly raced Down your cheeks painted a picture Of self destruction in love A picture of self discovery in denial A picture of self worth in empty space Your essence drifted on the air And danced with every sense Inside of me Would you ever know me Would my ears ever be serenaded By your story Would your look of desperation Ever be satisfied by the catching Of my eye what can I say To show you my desolate spirit Would you just see me as a stranger Or realize I am the one standing up Standing next to you Holding you in my arms And telling you everything will be alright A chance missed an opportunity drowned A heart sank The words were nowhere to be found Just before you step outside And leave me here Holding these possibilities I find these words These words that feel so perfect These words that sound so sweet They explode inside of me And bring me to my feet As every breath is silently Taken from all others in the room You paused, door knob in hand As the words pierced your beautiful sorrow My heart came out with such force The walls vibrated with every sound “Wait… there is something you need to know!” You looked eagerly on Time froze as you waited to hear My solemn words that followed I took a deep breath and swallowed all fear I trapped my previous words in And blinked…
