Newbies How to build your own blog website

As a Newbie you need to decide what to name your blog or business. This is very important as this lays the foundation to your future success. What will Your Blog or business be Known By? This is the name by which people in your niche will know you by, so get it right by choosing wisely.

A huge mistake was made when this blog was named for example; The domain name “How To List Build” has very little relevance to “Newbies how to Start A Blog or Website”. The journey to this blogs success, with the Search Engines could have been quicker and more effective had the domain name been more focused on the blog content. There needs to be a relationship between the domain name and your websites purpose.

5 Points To Consider In Choosing Your Blog Naming.

-1. First decide what you want you want to do, write about, or go into business for and why ?

-2. Make your domain name short and catchy, a name that sticks in the mind of your audience.

-3. Choose a name that is relevant to what you want your blog, business or passion to be about.

-4. Branding and the importance of promoting an image. What’s in a name?

-5. Finding the right name that has not already been chosen. A .com is the name of choice but all the good names are mostly not available.

1. Decide what it is you want and why? If you get this wrong at the start, it is very difficult to change your domain name at a later stage, without losing out on all the work it took to establish your site. Have a clear idea on what your blogs purpose will be and then choose an appropriate domain name for it. It is important to get this right.

2. Make your domain name as short and as catchy as possible. It must be easily spelt, remembered and to the point. It has to stick in people’s minds like “Coke- Google- Twitter- BMW and so on.

3.  It should also include a key word that you want to target, so that the search engines can find, in order to index your website. A good name for this blog should have been: “NewbiesBlog.com”. This tells the search engines like Google what this site is about, so it can find relevant content for it’s searchers.

4. Branding a simple, short and sweet name is a lot easier than a mouthful, hard to remember one. A misspelt word will not find your site. CraigsList is sometimes spelt CraigesList, this takes you to another unknown one. Take this into consideration…

5. Finding the right name becomes a headache when you decide on a name, but none can be found that are now available from “.Com”.  A new Company has started, a “.WS” site selling .ws names (short for WebSite) Because it is new most of the names are still available for you to chose from. This is prime real-estate. Here is the address to go to:

Blogging is pursued for many reasons and has its benefits, here is a proposal for another hidden reward if approached from a different angle. An angle of self discovery. Many miss this important side to writing that grows and matures us both mentally and spiritually. This brings with it provoking insights and innovative thinking to help us write our blog posts filled with richer, meaningful content.

When talking about self discovery, what I mean is discovering, understanding, then learning to tune into your inner workings of how your subconscious and your conscious work in unison. Once understood, you can learn to work with this relationship to become a better thought provoking writer. A thought leader in your blogging niche.

All successful writers operate in more than a mental capacity, they have learnt to operate in a larger arena that many have not yet learnt to use. By digging deep within them selves, they unearth missing clues, conundrums, ideas, insights which have gone on to inspire their readers. Using certain techniques, these writers have become the thought leaders of their time.

They operate in more than a conscious level, they have learnt to mine all their past and present experiences- their collective whole. They do this by engaging their subconscious mind, which works 24 hours and seven days a week to source information, analyze, make sense of it all, to then come up with answers to previous questions put to it.

It is important to understand how the brain operates so you can capitalise on this wondrous creation. When you walk into a room all your senses are on full alert, eyes, ears, our sense of smell and feel. The eyes for one, take a complete picture of it, just as a camera would. All this detailed information would just boggle your conscious brain, so this information goes into your subconscious for sorting and storage.

All the important aspects relevant to you at that moment are given up to your conscious and those are what you are made aware of, the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and textures that your subconscious knows are placed high on your priority list. This conscious side processes this information which then directs your thoughts, decisions and emotions. It is so busy with running your life that not much attention is directed to what else your subconscious has to offer.

The consequence of this is, most of this logged material gets buried or made redundant as new stuff becomes available. The good news is most of this is retrievable and accessed to add richer colour to your writing that you never knew was there. There are techniques you can learn that will help you get access and tap into this wealth of knowledge and experience.

The subconscious is more than just a storage facility, it is also a dynamic and powerful processor for creative and innovative thinking. This is where your genius lies, by simply learning to tune into your still small voice, amongst all the chatter, is the path called self discovery. By doing this, a new dimension to your blog writing will emerge, by producing richer, more interesting content. The great thing is any one can get access to it, if that is what they really want.

We all want more Blog traffic and the best solution that I have found is using this simple yet effective three pronged attack using blog posts, articles and Twitter.

1. Adapting my best blog post into +- 300 word articles.

2. Publishing these articles on ezine directories that have Twitter feed.

3. Actively building a Twitter following.

More on each of these:

1. Publishing articles in a popular Ezine such as www.ezinearticles.com is a great way to exponentially explode your exposure and expertise to people interested in your topic. Why? Because they are searching for information in that category. A targeted prospect interested in your topic… Search engines such as Google have much regard for articles published here. One article of mine has being read by over 750 viewers since December and is still working for me.

2. Publishing these articles on ezine directories that have Twitter feed. Some ezines, (in the author tools section) manages your Twitter details in order to broadcast to your followers your newly published article details. Of course when they read it, in the resource box you lace it with a compelling offer to visit your blogs squeeze page for your news letter.

3. Actively building a Twitter following. On Twitter you can find an enormous amount of interested people in your niche or passion topic. These again are a targeted audience that you want frequenting your blog… so go out and follow them. What normally happens they reciprocate back. A great force to use.

These three elements, blogs, articles and Twitter are what I am concentrating on now that gets me my blog traffic.

Pay Per Click Advertising “PPC”.

Lets use the following example of a ppc campaign to promote a hotel in Poland. This is how I suggest you go about it. Set your website up showing all your “BENEFITS” that you offer, (not features such as how many rooms your Hotel has ect), but focus on the night life, fun, excitement, peace or luxury that your hotel/area offers. If you have a pool put a photo of some pretty girls swimming/ having fun around it for instance or some photos of your chefs speciality dishes in a nice setting together with two elegant glasses of wine all candle lit.

Identify What will attract tourists to your area and focus your marketing strategy on that?

Then clearly explain how to make a booking on your site and the reason again why they should book with you. Some Photo’s again to remind them what they will be missing if they fail to act now….

Right… now you want people to visit your website, this is where PPC comes in.

You can choose any one of the following to advertise with. Each has its own advantages depending on your market. Try Google first and see how you fare with them as they have the largest search results and their campaigns are very easily to set up.

Google Adwords,  https://www.adwords.google.co.uk

https://www.marketingsolutions.login.yahoo.com

https://adcenter.microsoft.com/

Open an account and set up your advert following their step by step format.

A Few Tips And Explanations Before You Start.

Go to  http://www.wordtracker.com and download a free trial keyword tool to find “good” keywords which people use when searching the web for your market. This tool is a must. It will give you alternate keyword phrases and show you how many searches are made in Google, Msn, and Yahoo. This gives you an idea how to promote your site and with which advertiser to go with…

Include the best key word phrases suited to your campaign, as well as in your add.

The idea of your ad is to get people to click your link to your web site. The Head line must get your prospects attention and then explain what good feeling they will get by going to click that link.

Key Words and Phrases.

In your campaign you must understand the difference between content match and search match. Search match is the words or phrase that people type into their browser to find what that they are looking for. These people are looking for particular information and are normally the best prospects to target…

In Wordtracker find the best 5 or 6 keyword phrases like “Best Polish Holiday Resort” and use these in your Google keyword match. If you put “…” around your phrase, (example “Best Polish Holiday Resort”) your ad will only show to people using that exact search phrase. This means your ad is more targeted and should give you the best and cheapest results. Remember each click that they make costs you money.

Content match ad on the other hand will show on a web page that has content related to your ad only. These surfers are not your best prospects as they are not targeted and may click out of curiosity. More clicks and cost to you but less effective…. Google will not tell you this as it is revenue for them!!!

YouTube has a lot of videos showing you how to set up a PPC account. This is one I quickly found… Many more, just type “ppc advertise” into their search bar.
