Learning About Blogging

 

Marketing your blog online can get complicated and confusing if you are working on your first one.

However, for a blog marketing guru, it really is not that complicated.  Anyone who is familiar with blog marketing online knows that it takes dedication, hard work and consistency.

For someone just starting out with their marketing campaign, it may seem like a lot of work with little or no pay off to be seen right afterwards.

However, just know that marketing is something that you have to build.

You have to work on it and continue to market your blog.

Commenting 

There are many things that you can do to market your blog and get it out there to be seen by the world. One of the most important things is to visit other blogs that are relevant to yours and leave comments.

Doing so gets your blog out there to readers of other's blogs. And in return can get you some new visitors as well as readers. While all of this might seem confusing at first, after a while you will get the hang of it and it will make sense and fall in place.

And hey - do you know enough about the topic to add a lens of your own....?

Regularity 

Posting on your blog on a regular basis is another way to get new readers. Who wants to read a blog that is never even updated? Would you? No way.

So give your readers what they want with new content and give it to them often. Post daily, weekly or bi weekly and be consistent about it. This way your readers and visitors will know how often to check your blog for a new post.

Where are your visitors coming from? 

Know where your traffic is coming from. Know which search engines are directing people to your blog and which are not. Find out what keywords are bringing people to your blog as well.

If you know all of this all ready, use it to your advantage. Write more content on the keywords that are working for you and monitor where you fall on the search engine pages that are sending visitors.

REPLY to all comments 

If someone leaves a comment on your blog, be sure to acknowledge it. No one wants to have a conversation with themselves, and it will only take a brief moment to reply and let them know you appreciate them. Otherwise if you have a section full of comments and you have not replied, chances are that you will not be getting many more.

The readers may even drop you off of their list of blogs to visit frequently as well. Using your head and treating others as you would want to be treated is a big part of marketing.

Recommended Reading: Naked Conversations 

I read the first 20 pages of this book standing in the bookstore, and bought it immediately afterwards. I love reading it out loud because it is so well written.

This book is about how blogging is changing the way customers think about businesses. If you're not looking for this kind of read, but instead blog just for fun, this book may not be the one for you. But I promise you, it IS a good read!

Make friends with other bloggers 

Network with them and find out how they get so many visitors to their blog and what they do to keep them interested. Exchanging ideas with other bloggers that are successful is a great idea and a good way to make friends. If you want, you can even become friends with other bloggers offline as well.

Use this to your advantage and do not just take from the conversation though, be sure that you share all of your blog marketing techniques as well with your new found blogging friends.

Stealing content... 

If you happen to be quoting an article from another source or blog, always be sure to provide a link back to the original. Otherwise this is known as plagiarism and something that is looked down on in the world of marketing. And online in general, actually.

Stealing someone else's content is not a good idea and not something that you will get away with. You will get caught if you try to say someone else's work is your own of it is not. This is not a good way to start off in the blogging world!

Conclusion: 

Blog marketing is a great way to make extra income and get your blog out there and known.

Use these techniques above to get your blog more traffic and readers and you will eventually reap the rewards.

Great way to earn extra money from your blog 

Earn money from other people's auctions on ebay

Build A Niche Store. This is, by far, the greatest tool for making money from ebay and using your niche audience to profit.

With this tool you can create up to 28,926 different niche stores, selling ANYTHING that is for sale on ebay.

And if it's selling on ebay, it might as well earn you money! You don't ever have to list a single item or deal with a single customer.

Build your niche stores, people go to ebay through your store, and ebay pay YOU up to 65% of THEIR profits!

...the ebay affiliates who earn over $100,000 a month? They have their own niche stores. But this niche store creator thingy makes it so much easier for you.

I recommend: Go Get It!
