Build a lens on something you are passionate about.

I’ve just been learning more about it myself and
I love everything I’m seeing about it:

–> It’s free. Always.

–> You can make an interactive, Web 2.0
webpage in about 10 minutes (these are
called “lenses”)

–> The philosophy behind the site is collaborative.

–> And you can use it to promote whatever
business, expertise, service, or hobby you wish.

Now although it’s free, and relatively easy to
get started, it’s great to have help in making
sense of everything you can do with the
site.

I’ve been learning how to use the site a lot
faster with the help of Bob The Teacher.

 Bob really knows what he’s talking about.

He’s had a lens hit #1 on the site, was picked
for Lens of the day a couple of times, and was
even highlighted in the New York Times for
his expertise in a really weird topic.

With Bob’s help, I’m learning how to take this
free service and use it for affiliate marketing,
list building, expertise branding, and promoting
my business.

Would that help you out, too?

He’s offering a full blown video tutorial course
for an awesome price, but even better…

You can check out Squidoo Secrets first
for free — and see if it’s the kind of thing
you’d like to pursue.

I can’t believe how much content is on this
free course alone!

Although this one interview is worth the
paying for, Bob’s giving it away during so you
can understand why Squidoo is such a big hit.

 There are some people who choose to create a blog on their own, whereas others prefer to hire some pro to set things on the right track. First of all, before starting the actual blogging project, you’ll need to create a detailed plan in which to include: objectives, investment with the analysis of cost (time and money), targeted audience, blog updates and administration and monitoring tools.

Blogging is a very accessible thing to do for both business and personal reasons, nevertheless, its real value is obvious when it attracts relevant visitors/traffic.

 There are all sorts of issues you need to take into consideration; search for special software that helps you track the best keywords you should include in the articles posted on the blog!

This means of attracting traffic by identifying the keywords that are the highest in demand goes hand in hand with special devices that help one evaluate the keyword performance over a specific period of time. Thus, all Internet users interested in blogging, particularly business owners who use blogs for promotion campaigns, need to learn as many SEO secrets as they can, since they have to optimize not just the blog content as such but the ads that appear on it as well.

 Another important issue when starting a blog is the content; keep in mind that the best sites of this kind are the ones with highly interesting information. Search engines love great content and visitors linger more on your blog as well if the articles, the videos or the pictures are catchy.

For those bloggers who are also running their business online, a good word of advice here is the combination of informational articles and e-news letters. The users that subscribe to periodical informative bulletins should be offered all sorts of promotions and special contests to keep the interest vivid. More such tricks can be learned if you take the time to learn something on Internet marketing, it could mean a great deal for any new blogger.

The mentor that got me into blogging and helped me get this site up and going (I had no computer or marketing skills at all) was a 27 year old ex knife sales man that explains all this. He has a membership site that teaches (using clear video instruction all the in’s and out’s) that even I could understand. You can access it here if you are serious in getting into internet marketing. Ex knife sales man makes good in internet marketing.

Passion topics are also used in a profitable way to market to these searchers by understanding and supplying to their needs, in offering a solution, (help, information, product, tool ect.) to any these identified desires (Passion Markets). Because as the name “passion” suggests, desire over rides other needs and a purchase is more likely to follow if a compelling offer is presented.

So a passion topic is really a passion market depending on what side of the fence you are standing on.
Savvy Marketers are doing really well in this area even in a down turned recession climate as we have now.

WHY, HOW CAN THIS BE?
Every one of us needs a place to escape to. The escape from the harshness of all the gloom and doom that bombards us from every angle. This escape varies in each one of us, some find it in:

• Sport (golf, cycling, football, rowing, yachting, boxing).
• Hobbies (collecting, model trains/ cars/ planes, camping, hiking, painting, knitting, sewing, home crafts, guitar playing).
• Pets.
• Food and cooking.
• Technology and games (play station, Xbox).
• Self improvement (body building, health, memory building, mind games, becoming a better speaker).
• Learning new skills such as a language for instance.

There are a whole host of other niche’s that I am sure you could add. These passions are very important to each of us and even if we have to sacrifice something for it, we will not in this area. All you need to do is go down to the local book store and see the range of magazines on offer at premium prices.

This will give you some ideas on what to blog on. Find something that you are passionate in, something you can share on and have knowledge about. It could even be about something you are learning this very moment and as you learn you could blog on your new found knowledge. People with medical conditions blog on tips and remedies that they find useful.

People are eager to learn new things, so what niche or passion could you start blogging on?
