You have one of two choices when starting your own blog:

a. You can use a Free blog website.

or,

b. You can create your “Own” blog website with domain name and blog hosting account.

a. Free blog website can be started very quickly and easily by just typing into your web browser “free blog website” for an Internet search. A whole list of free sites will be generated, offering free blog sites, from posting your photos, videos or diary journals to book, movie, music reviews. You can post what you like within certain rules, that can vary from site to site.

Decide on a site that you would like to sign up with, read and confirm that you have read their rules and away you go. All the instructions are normally there for you to follow. These sites are very user friendly, some have forums or support desks to turn to if you get stuck.

b. How to start your “Own” blog website, incorporating your domain name and blog hosting account. Here it is more advanced but the good news, there is lots of help on the Internet if you learn to type the right questions into your search browser. Questions you may ask could include the following:

“How do I decide on a domain name?” “Buy a domain name” “Web hosting account” “How Do I transfer my domain name to hosting account” ” How to set up a wordpress blog” “How to install a Akismet plug in” (This will catch all unwanted spam filling your comment folder).

What ever the question there is always an answer on today’s web. So go ahead and get started on your own blog.

Blogging – Ten sites you need to know

Now that you are part of the blogging phenomenon that has spread all around the world, or you simply aspire to learn something about the online community, there is plenty of assistance you can find online to help you optimize your own blog the best way you want. 

 

For instance, a host giant like www.xanga.com provides a great chance to start a blog on your own; it is a good opportunity for anyone interested in joining a world-wide community that shares pictures, videos, thoughts and points of view. Furthermore, you’ll also get precious information from many domains.

 

Another such great host site is www.myspace.com where you may register your blog under a variety of categories depending on the theme and topic. There is a wide selection of users and definitely good quality traffic if you make the blog worth visiting.

 

For those who want to make some money with their blogs, by advertising, I strongly recommend www.adsense.com, a Google-joint program that enables bloggers to make a really good income. How come? On this site you closely follow all the necessary steps to choose the ads (both images and text) that best match your blog content.

 

Blogging takes time and effort, and you can definitely avoid some mistakes other pros warn against by permanently inquiring on new stratagems to use with Adsense; after all you have to make as much money as you can. Hence, http://www.marketingquickiesv2.com/adsense-adwords-marketing.html is a site that should teach you something.

 

You should also need to subscribe to one of the many sites that provide blog lists so that you may be more easily found by interested users. http://www.blogcatalog.com/ is a good choice to promote your blog and create traffic.

 

In the same listing categories we have to mention the giant https://ecom.yahoo.com/dir/submit/intro/ that is one comprehensive directory where you’ll definitely want to have your blog subscribed. The problem here is it costs $299 per year to register. If this is a business blog it may be well worth the expense. 

 

Need inspiration on what to blog on then look on further than www.google.com/trends. We should also point out to a “blog on blogs” that is definitely worth visiting given the large amount of information on the topic: http://www.problogger.net/. For someone who is just learning the rules of the game, there is much to find out here!

 

You may want to learn more about your the website by having a look at: http://website.grader.com/ . They give F-ree web analysis report to improve your page ranking in the search engines.

 

Last but not least, there are all sorts of professional sites that can help you with the tools you actually need for blogging. Here I refer to http://asymptomatic.net/blogbreakdown.htm and other similar pages that may guide and assist you in the attempt to find the software that best matches your blog.

Good luck!

Here’s an interesting blog post for you..

When videos started to grow popular on the Internet in
the past couple of years, the Internet Marketing
landscape started to change.

Affiliate Marketing was not exempted, either.

The most classic mistake people tend to make in
affiliate marketing is not capturing the opt-in leads
first before sending their visitors to the merchant’s
website.

So what smart marketers often do is that they would
have their own Squeeze Page for the visitors to opt
into their list, before sending them to the website
they are an affiliate for.

This is so the affiliate marketer can build his own
opt-in list and do his follow-ups later.

A few but exceptionally smarter marketers, on the other
hand, take this to the next level.

==> THEY IMPLEMENT VIDEO MARKETING, TOO.

You probably notice most top Internet Marketing experts
are now using videos on their Squeeze Pages. And
smarter affiliates are also doing the same for their
own, for one obvious reason:

==> VIDEOS CAN SKYROCKET YOUR TRAFFIC AND SALES
CONVERSIONS!

Unfortunately, the problem with video marketing is that
to begin with, you have to know how to make your own
videos.

And even if you could do your own videos, what if you
learn that the affiliate program doesn’t convert well
for you after all?

Affiliate Power Videos remove all these barriers.

At Affiliate Power Videos, you get 10 unique, high
converting Video Squeeze Pages, and 5 new ones every
month.

So all you have to do is:

Step 1: join any or all of the listed affiliate
programs (free)

Step 2: Upload the video and squeeze pages to your web
host

Step 3: Start driving in traffic, build your opt-in
list and rake in affiliate sales!

You might be thinking that this is going to be a costly
monthly membership – maybe $97, $197 or even $297 a
month.

You’re going to be in for a pleasant surprise — this
one’s on the house (read: zero cost)!

Here it is again:

Sign up for your free Silver membership access now and
don’t delay – because I know you could very well have
your own string of affiliate video businesses up and
running by tonight, with or without any techical
experience on your part!

Warm Regards,

Amateur Blog. Things to consider when starting as a Newbie blogger .

Posted on by

We all have to start from some where. The decisions we make at the start as a newbie may have a huge influence on the final out come.

For most of us getting our toe into the water is the easy part. Making the decision to dive in and swim is another. We could be afraid because we do not know how to swim or may feel that the water is too crowded?
If you want to learn to swim, getting in the shallow end would be best to gain confidence. A few people once in the water decide that this is not for them and never swim again, others just love it and have great fun enjoying the experience. A swimmer may find a certain style that they are good at, they focus on that discipline to go on to be Olympic super stars and win gold. No one for sure knows how it will all pan out, surffice to say all the champions  work and train very hard perfecting and honing their skills. They need persistence, dedication, determination and resolve to do well.

For the blogger signing up to Google Blogger for a free Blogger.com or a WordPress.com blog would be an easy learning to swim way of starting. The instructions are very simple to follow and in no time you could be on your way blogging. This is where you learn by trying different styles to see what suits you best. Remember the true saying “Incorrect action is better than no action to find your style”.
To become a blogging super star though, this is not the pool to be swimming in, so do not stay too long here.

These “newbie” free sites are definitely the easy way to learn but do have many draw backs for the long term blogger. 
1. The site does not belong to you so would be difficult to sell at a later stage.
2. You have little control and if the site closed down, all the hard work put into your blog could be lost.
3. It takes time to build your blog name, to make it something special but it will still look amateurish.
4. Your hosts may want to put advertising on your site and capitalise on your hard work.

In the long run and if you want to be a serious blogger the best advice would be to decide on your blogging topic, think carefully about a short catchy domain name and register it for your self.                                    

1. This name becomes your personal possession.
2. You will have complete control over everything from choosing your web host, developing the site, adding advertising and content, right through to selling it if you want. Just look what the name Google means today.
3. Having your own domain name will also give a feel of professionalism to your blog.

To help you set up your own blog, a membership site I recommend is the one that helped me get this one going. Your first months membership cost I think is $1. Try it out and see how easy it is to follow from step by simple step video instruction. If you do not like what you see- cancel your subscription.                         

If you are any thing like my there is so much to learn you will get stuck in to never look back at your amateur blog status. Newbie List Building Club.

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” ~Winston Churchill

Incorrect action is better than no action. Take heart.

Niche Blogging, Passion Topics or Passion Markets?

Posted on by
Reply

Well these are one and the same thing. I kind of like passion topics because it sums up a growing market phenomenon that is taking the internet by storm. More and more people are searching the internet for information regarding their passions in life. They can do it from home, in their own time and are able to glean information from a global perspective with no barriers or boundaries to confine them.

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?

Do You Want To Start Making Money Online? – Start With A Blog!

Posted on by

Many people who want to start making money online face one common challenge – lack of money to get started. Starting an online business requires that you have a website, and it can be quite expensive to get a website set up. This is where a blog comes in!

If you are starting an internet business on a shoe-string budget and have limited experience, then starting with a blog is an excellent way. It will require a lot of your time however writing updates to keep your audience informed and the search engines like Google, MSN or Yahoo happy. This article outlines the key reasons why it is a good idea for you to start with just a blog.

A blog enables you to start earning money online quickly. As soon as you get your blog, you can immediately start to advertise your products or services or promote your affiliate programs. When visitors click on your affiliate links and purchase a product, you are paid a commission on the sale. These advertisements on the right are Google AdSense. When ever one of these links are clicked a small commission is generated to my account that I set up with Google. This is very easy to do. To set up an account go to :

https://www.google.com/adsense/login/en_US/?gsessionid=0nr7BnRgBBU

Starting with a blog is cheaper than having a website built. There are many free blogging services, (www.squidoo.com ,  www.blogger.com )so you don’t need to buy a domain name, pay for hosting or pay someone to design a website.

Blogging is easy, no technical skills are required and anyone can do it. You can do everything yourself. Having a website would require you to have some technical skills or you would need to pay someone to build your website.

You do not have to spend a lot of money in advertising. In comparison to a website, it’s easier and quicker to drive traffic to a blog than to a website. By blogging consistently and using your keywords, your blog will get indexed quickly with the search engines, and you will start to generate organic traffic.

Blogging is a  fun and easy way to start. If you start your online business in a niche that interests you or that you know a lot about, you won’t find it difficult to blog everyday. This will improve your search engine position and drive traffic to your blog resulting in more sales!

Blogging is therefore a good alternative for online home business newbies who want to start making money at home but have little funds to get started. Start your own blog today and start making money online!

Newbies (Rookie Marketers)- Finding a mentor.

Posted on by

Hi every one,

Welcome to this blog. What I wanted to share with you today is the needed to find the right mentor. If you are interested in starting your own marketing website and dont have much internet/ marketing experience it can all be rather daunting. Thats why finding the right mentor is so important !!!!

Starting your own internet marketing business, to do it properly is far more than buying a domain name, a hosting account and then uploading some template . Remember out there, the competition is very stiff, with some extremely experienced and savvy marketers to contend with. To do well, good training from an experienced mentor is an essential part to anyones online success.

Now WHY would some stranger want to help you succeed. The reason is simple, to build a mutually beneficial relationship. If I can get you to succeed, you would trust me and we could build a working relationship to develope further. Two heads are better than one….. Its all down to building trust and  relationships.

There is so much information out there that it tends to make you lose focus. You need to be focused on one thing like a laser beam, learn all about it, perfect it, succeed in it. Remember incorrect action is better than no action….. doing something builds experience. This developes over time.  A mentor has been there and can lead you through this mine field, where everyone wants to just sell you something you don’t need. This business is all about selling ……not buying the latest, what ever !!!

As a Newbie finding a mentor would be someone who has your success in mind.

Good luck,
