Making Money With Your Blog

Filed Under How To Blog | Leave a Comment

If you’ve ever thought about blogging, (and even if this is a new concept to you) there are dozens of ways to get your blog into the mainstream. The first task is to get quality content into your site. The second task is to get your site noticed. Both can seem daunting if you’ve never blogged before.

That’s why we’re happy to announce our newest service – Blog Marketing Training Guide.

Blogs are very personal in nature. They help develop your ideas, your personality, and your character. But that doesn’t mean you can have a step-by-step guide that shows you how to put it all into place. I can attest to the effectiveness of blogging, as this is my fifth blog – and they’ve all brought me in business.

How Can A Blog Make Money?

Blogs can make money in a variety of ways.

First, you can create a blog to complement your products and services. Let’s say you are an accountant. Maybe your blog is filled with tips on managing your finances better, along with small tips for making your relationship with your accountant more efficient. People love your tips, and wind up using your services because they love your honesty and integrity – they resonate with you.

Or let’s say you have a hobby that would love to start a blog on, and make a little extra money on the side. You can find a variety of resources that will allow you to connect with them, and make money from their products and services. You simply blog about what you love about your hobby.

I have dozens of ideas for you – that’s what I cover in my own HowToBlogAboutYourBusiness blog. Make sure you sign up for my free RSS feed to stay on top of all my posts. And then consider signing up for my Blog Marketing Training Guide. I’ll share with you the exact methods me and dozens of other successful bloggers are using right now.

Whether you are looking to sell your own products and services, or want to add some new twists to your existing ideas, I’ll share ideas that will supercharge your business – and help you make money online.

It’s more than the photographs

Too much of a good thing is really too much.

Your blog is designed to share stories with your readers. They want to know all about you. They want to know what you do. And they want to see what you do.

Instead of putting in 25 large photographs

make them smaller and imbed then into your text. Talk about your services. What made this event so special? How can you apply what you’ve done for this client to other prospects? That’s what people care about.

They want to be able to see what you do, and imagine you doing the same for them.

Be different.

Be creative.

Finding Your Focus

Filed Under How To Blog | Leave a Comment

You have a site. You have your marketing materials. You speak to prospects and clients regularly about your products and services. So why does it seem so hard to blog?

For many the idea of having to write continuously seems a little daunting. What are you going to write about? How can you keep it up week after week?

At first glance, it can be a bit scary. Especially if you aren’t a writer. But don’t fall into the trap of turning your blog into a home made site that has no focus. Concentrate on creating something that’s relevant to your readers.

Make it a goal to write two or three times per week, and establish your vision for your site ahead of time. Schedule your writing time into your weekly schedule ahead of time. Come up with your titles, and even write a few bullet points for each title. Sometimes its easier to sit down and come up with eight or ten ideas, and find a way to pull them all together.

Then throw in a bit of fun along the way. People like to read what you’re up to. If your at a conference that has relevance, share. Finding your human side can sometimes turn a prospect into a long term customer.

Getting Started With A Blog

Filed Under How To Blog | Leave a Comment

With any project you start, you always have to start at the beginning. For this blog, this post is the starting point.

Both Andrew and I have been blogging for years. We each post regularly on a variety of blogs. I’ve used free blogs, internal community blogs, and commercial blogs that we’ve designed and maintained in-house.

I’ve studied blogs, subscribe to a huge number of blogs using RSS feeds, and monitor many sites on a daily basis. I know what works, and more importantly what doesn’t.

This blog is designed to share all of that with you. While many people are teaching how to blog, and offer you the ability to start a blog, very few blogs go the extra step of showing you how to make money with your blog.

If you are a creative professional - a photographer, wedding professional, artist, author, consultant, solo professional, or other small business owner - this blog is for you. Together Andrew and I will share with you steps we’ve taken to design and maintain a blog, bring you the best resources for your business, and give you tips to keep blogging.

But for now, get out there. It all starts with the first post. And here is our first post…
