Best Brand New Blog Marketing Strategies

You have already started blogging and seems that you don’t really get views that much. You tried to check out other blogs. The dates are about the same week as yours but they are getting more views. If you are in that scenario, you should consider rethinking about your methods in blogging.

There are some strategies that you could use so that you can get more views without really trying too hard. These are three strategies that are simple and doable. You may try all if you like. You might be able to read more strategies online. However, when you try to think about, they still mean the same thing as these three.

1. Know your target audience. This is a very important strategy for all writers online or not. Knowing your audience will help you select the tone of your writing and what you are writing about. Not all age groups have similar interests. Knowing your target audience will help you gather more information about the topic that would suit their interest and gain their attention. This will also help you make up catchy titles that will immediately catch the attention of your readers. You can also provide appropriate pictures and backgrounds that will help set the mood your blog.

2. Read blogs related to your topic and leave a comment. Leaving a comment on someone else’s blogs is not really a loss on your part. It is actually an advantage for you because you are leaving your mark. You also get to know what others think which will help you in doing your next blog. Considering the thoughts that you’ve read on the other comments, you will be able to come up with a blog that will catch their attention and fill in the something that might be missing from that other blog. You can do this efficiently by joining blogging communities and sites that have online forums.

3. Maximize technology. Social media and e-mails already a part of your daily life. Once in a while you log in to your account and do your stuff. Make it a habit to share your blog link through these sites. Your friends and contacts can also share the link for your site. Always remember that in marketing, your first prospects should be your family and friends since they are the most immediate customers you can approach. You can also use your phone. Some of your contacts don’t really have your e-mail or are not a part of your social media account. You can send a group message and share to them about your blog.
You don’t really need to get stressed out about your blogging. Blogging is there to help you release the stress by doing a writing therapy. It lets you release what is on your mind. It also lets you enjoy the beauty of writing.

101 Ways To Make Money

Making money online is today’s new trend. Business and employment has found its way in the internet and its selling good. True enough that there are 101 ways to make money online. But, you might find these two interesting.

You can make money by blogging. Blogging is publishing journals online that is interactive and arranged in a reverse-chronological order. This is interactive because visitors can leave a comment and you as the author can reply to that comment. You can turn this into a money-making method by joining programs that pay you for the articles you are creating or those that pay you for generating traffic online that will direct the visitors to your blog site. Each time you post a blog depending on the subject, you will get paid. Most of the time, you will be asked to write a review of a product or a website or other topics. Other times, you will be asked to insert their links into your posts and you will earn a commission from the purchases that the visitor will make. If you already are a part of a social networking site such as Facebook and MyYearbook, you can add in your blog link on your profile. You can try adding signatures to any of the post that you add in internet forums as well as e-mails that you are sending. This signature will still contain your blog link.
You can also make money by joining affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is when you refer shoppers that are online to different products. In doing this, you will gain some percentage of the sale that is made. You will be provided with your own link so that the seller would know who referred the client to purchase the product. There are sellers that offer as large as a 50% commission for every purchase made by the customer that you referred. You don’t need to create your own product to join affiliate marketing. In order to attract more customers, you can write articles about the products that your sellers would want to sell and add in the link for the products. You may say that this is similar to simple online blogging. The difference is that for blogging, you make money solely by your blogs while in affiliate marketing, you use your blogs are reference or reviews of the products.

Of course, that would depend on how much time you would really want to spend. You can actually do both: working on your day jobs and make money online. Making money online does not necessarily need you to be present in an office. You just need the computer and you are good to go.

How To Turn Your Passion Into Profit The Easy Way

It is one of the greatest frustrations of most people when they are forced to do something that they do not want to do. Work will seem to be a chore, a daily routine that slowly eats up the soul of the person day by day. This is the reason why it is advisable to focus more on what your passion is, spend hours, days or even days mastering your passion and make money out of it. Why? It is for the simple reason that when you do it out of passion, work will no longer look like work. Every single step or task is a step closer to self-fulfillment.

Here are cool tips on how to turn your passion into profit:

1. Determine your passion first.

Before you even start counting your money and how much you can possibly earn out of it, you must determine what your passion is. What is it that you do that you are happy doing it, you do not feel tired of doing such thing repetitively for the years to come, and lastly, it feeds your soul and make a fulfilled person?

2. Choose an avenue where in you can monetize your passion.

When you already determine what your passion is, may it be in dancing, writing, drawing, etc. what you need to do is to choose an avenue wherein you can earn money out of your passion. You may choose to have training or coaching program and teach people how they can master the skills in writing, dancing, drawing, etc. Perhaps, you can write an e-book about it and have it circulated over the Internet. There are different avenues; all it takes is for you to pick which one to go for.

3. Make everything a habit.

One of the biggest mistakes of monetizing your passion is that once you start earning a lucrative amount, you stop! Then, before you know it you are back to square one. You need to make sure that everything that you are doing now will become a good habit of yours. Whether you are earning small or big, it would not hamper your productivity. Just keep on going and going until such time you can no longer do what you love due to disability or other reasons.

4. Do use the money you earn wisely.

If you are now starting to earn money, you need to make sure that you are using your hard earned money wisely. Do not overspend. Be sure every penny is well-accounted for and put some on savings or for emergency funds. Just in case you need cash for a particular event or unexpected situation.

5. Repeat the cycle and invest on another passion.

When you see that your passion is earning you money, why not venture into another passion of yours and monetize it. Repeat the cycle. You would start seeing results in no time especially when you already know what to do because you have started doing it when you venture into your first passion.
