How To Find The Best Within Yourself To Write About, Creating Great Blog Posts?

Posted on by

Have you ever found that the more you strive and push for something, the more unproductive you become? Or finding inspiration to write your posts can be challenging in times of a looming deadline. Breaking those dry periods to find fresh motivation for growth and insight comes from within. Here are 3 tips to help you tap into your own creative and productive well for great blog posts.

1. Take time out to reflect and day dream at least once during your day.

No one can operate at full steam 9 hours a day with out losing peak performance. You have natural cycles of high and low mental activity, so snatching 10 minutes in this trough to recharge, reinvigorates the mind. Allowing it to take stock, prioritise and give a fresh perspective to your thoughts. Working with your natural energy rhythm, to ebb and flow through out the day, brings out your hidden abilities just waiting to be uncovered. This is sometimes frowned upon, thought slothful and unproductive, but to find those hidden gems this is your creative and inspiring source.

2. Prepare your mind before taking a break.

Run through in your mind what you want to do. Visualise the end result, goal or objective that you want. Keep a note book and pen handy to jot down any passing thought that might come and then relax, by allowing your self to drift away for a few minutes. Become aware of your breathing, the rise and fall of your chest that happens on its own, your rhythmic heart beat and the pulse of blood flowing through your body. By following this tip allows you to connect with your subconscious mind that continues to work for you, to find those answers, insights and ideas that you were not aware were there. Allow your mind to drift and wander while being aware of any ideas in the periphery of your conscience.

3. Write down or capture these thoughts in some form or other.

Even some remote idea that could easily be dismissed could prove useful or is key to some lateral thinking process, only realised later. Keep an open mind here and who knows new widows of clarity could be found.

Build Blog Traffic Using Both Articles And Twitter.

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.

E. Mail Marketing- The Success Formula That Buildings Your Own email Address List in Any Business (Online and Off).

Posted on by

How To List Build And Why….
Building a targeted Email address list is the most important and profitable online marketing tool for any business to focus on. This should be your foundation to any marketing campaign undertaken……
Using Email is an instant free connection to your market audience at a press of a button. As a marketer your objective is to build a “Large and Targeted” Email address list of potential customers that you can communicate with on auto pilot using simple online tools.
In this article I can just give you an overview on how this all works.

1. Getting email address of all customers buying from you is imperative. This is to follow up on customer satisfaction and to update any further offers that could be suitable to their needs.

2. Sending interested prospects to a landing page on a web site specifically designed to just collect their names and email address. This is to build what is called an Opt-in mailing list which is compiled with participants that have requested to receive information related to your specific topic, offer or product. There are a number of ways to get prospects to your site. Pay per click advertising (PPC), article writing, blog posts, viral marketing, using social net works and so on. Offering some sort of carrot or incentive will coerce them to exchange their vital details that are so essential to your business success.

3. Using an Auto Responder Service to manage your list on auto pilot. Emails that you wish to send are loaded into a system set by you and all the rest is auto pilot. Frequency of dispatch, time of day and even pdf files can be attached to the emails as a bonus. A double optin feature prevents any spam.

There you have it, Email marketing success formula to grow your business. The larger and more targeted your address list the more business you will bring in, plain and simple.

To help you set up your own website and autoresponder mailing list system, 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 step by simple step video instruction. If you do not like what you see- cancel your subscription.

If you are any thing like me there is so much to learn you will get stuck in, to never look back at your business growth. Newbie List Building Club.

As Bloggers we are in a unique position to adapt our more promising blog posts as published articles on sites such as www.ezinearticles.com. These ezine websites attract a lot of attention from the search engines such as Google. This is a good place for your article to be picked up and read. :-)

1.The main reason for publishing an article is to promote your blog site or any other idea by skillfully using the resource box at the end of your article. This is where you lead the reader into the resource box and a carrot to prompt a click into something juicy on offer.

2. On these sites, articles are allowed to be copied and published else where in their complete form including your resource box. Your article is now viral and spreads with time.

3. As your article appears on other sites valuable back links are now created which increase your search engine rankings making your site further exposed to your audience. Puts your site on the map so to speak!!!

All in all published articles sourced from your blog posts are good for exposure. The more you publish, the more traffic will arrive.
Good Luck…

Amateur Blog, How do I start a blog, things to consider?

Posted on by

Presently, we can definitely say that online communications are probably the most successful and effective ones worldwide; they save money, time, while also allowing transactions, commercial advertising and even business administration.
Blogging is part of this general trend of putting everything on the web, regardless of whether we are talking about business, hobbies or personal stuff.
There are some basic guidelines that lie at the foundation of any blogs; therefore, we could say that you need the ABC of blogging before actually starting to enjoy it. The most important thing for the creation of the blog is to define it’s purpose:
What is it created for?

 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.

Newbie Blogging Strategies to grow your on line business. Part 2

Posted on by

Ok, so you have decided on a niche to blog on, set up a Word Press, or a Blogging account, researched your niche and started blogging using all the tips given in previous posts of this Blog.

Great…. You have found products to promote, found ways to commercialise and capitalise your blog. Now how do you find and bring visitors to your on line web site?

Other than creating interesting and relevant content, using key word rich text, the next most important topic to cover is getting BACK LINKS to your blog.

Back links:

These can be created in a number of ways. Signing up with various Forums in your niche, leaving quality comments on similar blogs ranking high in Google search results, writing articles on your subject matter, to post on various Ezine publishers such as Ezine Articles.com, and always leave your blog URL and key words to link back to your site. You want your URL on other sites but not in a way to cause spam. This is the basic HTML code that you can use on most sites to get an active back link.

<a href=”http://www.domain.com”>www.yourdomain.com</a>   will become www.yourdomain.com

You can write anything where it says www.yourdomain.com such as click here or your keyword subject title.

All this is to get the search engines coming to your site. The more relevant these sites to your niche that you link to, the better.

Another way is to set up another 4 to 5 sub niche blogs related to your MAIN NICHE. As an example: Main blog is called:” Christine’s Golden Labrador Breeding Program”. Now create other blogs around it, like “How to raise your Golden Labrador puppies the correct way” and ” Where to Finding Suitable registered Golden Labrador Males to breed with” ect.

Once you have set up and created unique content for these sub niche’s, create cross links (Back Links) as above to all these sites. The search engines will soon be crawling all over these sites bringing visitors interested in your niche. This is some hard work, but well worth it. Stay focused on this, get it right and all you have to do is keep adding fresh material to keep it interesting.

Stay tuned for more newbie blogging strategies to grow your on line business.
