The Psychology Of Blogging
Wednesday, 11 March 2015
Blogging
what is this now? hold your breath. Blogging is a means of organising items,
stories, news, and information on the internet. It is like a website, but this
one is free you do not have to pay any hosting fee. I found out about blogging
in 2011. I was just playing with it all through that time. But as I kept doing
it, I found this guy at viperchill that is even employing family members doing
blogging after he left his full time job and decided to do blogging. He is crazy
about seo (you can read about what the heck is seo at (The A, B, C's Of SEO). I found out how much I was in love with
blogging late 2014. There is always something new to work on when you are doing
blogging.
When it
comes to blogging there is article marketing, there is video marketing, there
is social media marketing and there is seo (search engine optimisation). We are
not going to be talking about that today, to get more on that read this one How To Promote My Video Game Blog.
I want to
work with your psychology. There are 156 million blogs on the internet. That
number should not scare you, only a thousand of them end up making it as
bloggers. This is because few of them are able to set authority in the topic
they are trying to present to the world.
Now what
can I write on to generate recognition on the internet? That is a good question
that should be pondering your mind if you are following up with what I am
trying to bring to you today. Hold on, you do not have to write about physics
explaining to people about radioactivity or mathematical functions. I find some
of you posting marriage pictures, birthdays pictures, swimming pool pictures
that end up getting hundreds of likes on facebook.
You can make money from that if you create a blog, organise this pictures get a
link from that blog and post on your facebook
wall to direct people to your blog. You can also create a facebook page and even make some discern money from that too.
You can
create a blog telling people about your marriage experience, how you take care
of your children or how you take care of your garden vegetables. Only make sure
you have some proof that you actually know what you are talking about. You can
put photos, videos to claim what you know so that people can know what you are talking about. By
so doing, people will not see you as a kind and turn to ignore you.
We live in
an internet world today. What are you good at on the internet, spending hours
on social media sites like facebook
and twitter chatting with friends,
following up with all sport activities, reading news on the internet,
commenting on other websites, following up with all scoops about your favourite
stars... All you have to do is create a blog so you get a link and write things
you are passionate about and post them to your area of expertise. You will be
surprise the magic that it will work.
Just start
a blog write on what you love so as to keep the continuity and then share the
link on an area on the internet you are good at. People start visiting your
blog and then you start making money. But wait until you get at least a
thousand visitors per month before you start posting affiliate links on that
blog or else people will think you want to scam them or you are interested in
just getting their money.
Creating a blog on the internet is just about 1%
of the whole thing. Writing interesting stuffs people what to engage in still
rank at 1%. To bring the two together, creating a blog and writing interesting stuffs people want to engage in sum up
to 2% of the blogging game. So where
is the rest 98%? you may curiously ask. It is found in what is called internet traffic. This is the number of
people that visits your blog on a
daily basis. Whether you have the most attractive blog or the most interesting stuffs on the web without traffic, all
that is useless. Read on as we find out what I mean by internet traffic by blog
commenting...
So here is the game, you what to have as
many keywords ranked on the front page of Google
as possible. Preferably the first page. If you will have to do this alone, that
involves allot of hard work. It is almost an impossible task. But as life
always have it, people always find a way around. What is the way around? you
want to get as much social shares as possible. Google just came up with its own social media site ( Google+ ) if you have a particular post that gets allot of +1 on Google+ that post stands a better chance of ranking on the first page of Google.
The
question now is, how do you get your social shares? you need people. How do you
get people? this is how. When you just start a new blog, you will find thousand if not million of information out
there on the internet trying to teach you how to blog, how to generate internet
traffic... But very few if any knows the secret. They will overwhelm you
with junk stuffs that don't work. It is my heart desire that everyone that
wants to make profitable blogging should see this post. Please if you happen to see this share it to your friends and encourage them to also share it to their friends.
There are
156 million blogs on the internet. That should not scare you. only a few end up
making it as bloggers. Why? they get tied of doing the things they are supposed
to do to get internet traffic.
When you
make the decision to create a blog,
make sure you choose what you are passionate about to write on. This to ensure
you love what you do and can write regularly on that topic. Don't copy content
from other blogs. This has a penalty on Google.
What you can do if you need some kick start skills is to modify contents from
other blogs. Try to make it as unique as possible.
Then you
want to find blogs that blog on the
same topic as you ( in the blogging world, this is called niche. ) Choose ones
that already have a loyal readership. Understand the writer very well because
he is king on the blog and you are
trying to get the attention of the king. The minute he/she notices you are
trying to get his/her attention, you are dead. What you want to do is present
yourself as a fan of that topic that shares similar interest with the others of
that blog. When posting comments on
such blogs, make sure you properly introduce yourself, your name, where you
come from, what you do for a living and if possible your marital status. Then
make comments that add value to what the writer is saying. In this way you can
gain the readers of that blog and
even the writer.
Do you know
people are making money blogging and even a living? you can too. When you
understand what is going on. If you read this post well, then you are good to go.
Making Money On The Internet
The Bible said ''awake oh sleepers.'' What the Bible meant here is not actually those sleeping on their bed but those sleeping on what is going on in this world of ours. The internet today is where everyone is found. I heard people even now find Spouse on the internet. Sites like facebook.com has almost 2 billion people. It has even been termed as the reason why people browse the internet these days. I just want to open your eyes. So read on as I try to do that.
There are
several legitimate ways you can make money on the internet. Through freelance
jobs on sites like freelancer.com.
Where you are required to do simple things like data entry, article writing,
copy writing to complicated jobs like java scripts and web design... On a site
like freelancer.com, you are
required to search for jobs post by
those that require your service, and then you will have to bit for that job.
The secret here is if you are new on
the internet you will have to go in for the data entry jobs and if you are good
at writing, then you can take article writing and copy writing. When starting,
make sure you have the lowest bit. And be polite. Write short reviews about
yourself like ''Dear sir I am new here and I promise I will do my best to
deliver your service at the lowest price.'' And then you have an additional
advantage if you are the first to bit on a particular project.
You can
also make money on sites likes facebook.com
and twitter.com. You can do that
through cpa's and affiliate marketing. This is how. On twitter.com, after you have got as much followers as you can, you
can join affiliate sites like clickbank.com.
On clickbank.com, people post affiliate products and you get
what is called a commission if that product is bought through a link posted by
you. Some are as high as 75% while some is 50, 50. Same on facebook.com. But facebook.com
has an additional advantage in that you can create a page and place cpa's
options. Cpa's are form filling projects where you are paid a low amount of
money if people fill forms on your website or facebook page. You can also past affiliate links on your facebook page.
You can
also create a blog on free sites
like blogger.com, wordpress.com or create a free website.
Here you are required to do a little
of hard work. This is where making money on the internet is all found. People
are known to live on what they make on their blogs or websites. But you will
have to get involved in what is called internet
traffic. A very frustrating and hard working process. It involves SEO ( Search Engine Optimization, ) article marketing, social media marketing, video
marketing. With Seo, you will have to build links so you can get noticed by
search engines like google.com, yahoo.com and bing.com... With article
marketing, you will have to write articles and submit them to article
directories like ezinearticles.com, articlebase.com. With social media marketing, you will have
to create social profiles on sites like facebook.com,
twitter.com, digg.com, delicious.com,
stumbleupon.com... Video marketing requires you to create
short videos and submit them to sites like youtube.com.
Be
patience, consistence and hard working. You are a free man and I am trying to
teach you the ways of a free man. Be your own BOSS.
Ask your questions I am here to answer.
Blogging Your Way To A Million Dollar Empire
Friday, 6 March 2015
If you are
someone that is regular and curious about what is going on, on the internet like
me, then you must have found out that people make money on the internet. I am
not talking here about scammers, I
am talking here about people who
make real money. For those of you that do not know, there are people that are
going to ask you to buy a product online, the most common is a dog and do not
deliver the goods, this type of people are called scammers. I want to talk to
you today about people that will deliver you, your product and even give you an
online course to teach you what they have learnt.
Gone are
the days when internet surfing was fun, people loved to receive emails, infact
it was a prestigious thing at the time, people felt proud when they bought
something online. Then came this time when the internet world was exploited,
people started receiving emails of scams and even emails threatening their
lives. All that did not stop the internet from growing, from the times of
emails and fun surfing, the internet has grown tremendously, but people now are
very careful as to what they buy and the type of emails they receive. People
have even started protecting their email addresses with software some of which
I do not even know about.
With all
that said, I am just trying to drag you into the internet world. I want to open
your eyes so you can also tap from what has evolved in the internet world. The
most active age groups on the internet range from 10 - 25. They spend much time
on the internet searching on any thing that is interesting to them. Play games
for hours on the internet. Keep up with their favourite stars on the internet.
30 - 65 are boring parents who want to check every thing their child is doing
on the internet and protect them from explicit contents like pornography.
Stars,
companies have been known to run their whole activity on the internet. You can
come in here. Who is your favourite
star? Eminen, Beyonce... What brand of product do you like, Sony Play station,
Microsoft Corporation. Or maybe you are good at programming, why don't you
create a game, software and show the world what you are able to create. From here I expect you to start following
up. A million dollars is not money to get some burgers at McDonalds. We are
talking here about financial
independence. So you need to be able to keep up with each updates I am making.
You have
come up with your favourite stars, companies, game programming abilities. What
next? you need to study the internet world to find out what type of people are
you involved with. Are you involved with teenagers or adults. This is going to
help you to know how to get some money from the age group. We will cover that
later. Keep up with me as we try to go through this together.
The aim of
the internet world has been exploited. The internet world was made for people
to reach each other far and near. But now it is a home of pornographic
materials, scams and even demonic activities. People are tied of protecting
their children from online porn and from purchasing products that do not reach
them, people have even have demonic activities to solve as a result of surfing
the internet.
Get this
from me, these days before people start giving you their money on the interne,
they have to trust you. So no matter how good you have understood the stars you
love and found out who share this similar love with you, no matter how good you
are with video games, even if you are a ps3 game computer programmer, you will
need to gain some trust before people can start buying what you have to sell.
Now you
want to learn how to gather people right? let us try to cover that. You can
create a blog on a free site like blogger which is owned by google, create a page
on facebook, get a twitter account. This is what you are able to do with a
blog. You can write articles post it on the blog encourage people to read what
you have posted. If people are interested in what you have posted, then they
will either subscribe with their emails or share your content on social media
sites like facebook, twitter... On facebook you can post status updates, say you
are the first to learn about a latest game release, you can post it on facebook
and your fans can then learn from what you have posted. Same with twitter. Post
status updates and your followers can benefit from what you have found.
Now you
have known the internet, what is required of you in order to make real money on
the internet and not scam people. You have know where to get the trust of
people. Now what you what to know, how to make money from the different age
groups. If you are someone that is promoting something for teenagers, then you
do not have to place things that require them to buy anything, what you can do
with this age group is get them to get involved in form filling and link
clicking. There are companies offering jobs online known as cpa's where people
are required to fill forms and at the end you earn some money. You can also integrate
google adsense into your blog where individuals will be required to click on
links that show up on the ads and you earn money if they do this.
If you are
dealing with the buying age, then you can join a program on Amazon and
clickbank known as affiliate marketing, where you get a commission if a product
is bought through a special link you got either from Amazon or clickbank.
By now I
expect you to have already gotten what and where we are trying to go to,. Let
us use blogging as a case study. There are over 167 million blogs online.
People create blogs for different reasons, to share photos with friends, to
share life experience with the world, to share how to's, stories, assemble
content online. Gone are the days when blog was meant just for publishing
content online, now people make a living out of it.
That is
what I want us to be talking about today. How can to make a million dollar
empire from blogging. People most of the times if not all of the times use
search engines to search for what they are looking online. Google is the
biggest and most popular search engine on the web. In order to get google's
attention, you are going to find out free and even paid services telling you to
do keyword research and building backlinks. Trust me this process has the power
to discourage you from the blogging world.
So what if
I tell you there is a way to bypass keyword research and backlink building.
Facebook, twitter and best of all google+ owned by google itself has a huge
part to play when it comes to finding things on google. The part they play on
google is known as social signals.
This is what
you want to do, get as much social signals as possible. How do you do that?
look for topics that are hot on facebook, twitter, google+. Some of you are
very good when it comes to keeping up with your favourite star updates on
facebook and twitter, with google+ you will have to keep up with brands. Why
not create you own.
Google have
been known to pay a close attention on the number of shares and likes a post
gets on facebook, the number of retweets a post gets on twitter, the number of
google +1s and share a post gets on google+. So if your name comes up on a
topic that goes viral, you will gain some exposure which will eventually lead
to people visiting your blog or like your facebook page.
So you have
come up with a game, there are people that spend hours playing games on
facebook. I do not know the upload policies of games on facebook. But I do know
individuals are allowed to upload games on facebook. What if your game becomes
the next Farmville, that even people that came out with a Manuel where made millionaires.
Facebook
has almost 2 billion users, there are many ways to make thousand of friends on
facebook. Join groups of similar interest, like pages that share what you can
engage in, start your own group. Post regular, share news, inspirational and
encouragement quotes, share photos, try to be funny sometimes. Give your readers
some time to miss you. Don't overload them with content. This is similar with
twitter. With google+, people often share just photos explaining what they are
trying to transpire to the world. Take some time study what is it that you are
telling the world, look for pictures explaining your idea, share it on google+,
who knows maybe it goes viral, starting up an online career for you.
You do not
have to tell people about nuclear physics, you can know how to take care of a
school garden, tell people how you do that, you can know how to cook a
delicious meal, tell the world how you do that, or maybe you want to share your
success on a successful marriage life, the world what's to hear that. Do not be
afraid that people will not like what you have to share. A good search term is
searched at least 1000000 times on a monthly bases, there must be some people
that will find what you have to say interesting.
Once you
start getting people liking your facebook page, becoming friends with you on
facebook, following you on twitter, following you on google+, subscrbing to
your newsletter, these are the people you want to make happy, they will buy
your products, spread your content.
Make sure
you reply to their comments, ease their minds on their concerns. Attack people
that want to attack them for reading what you have to say. If you are successful,
some of them will like to ask you for help to start up their own blog, twitter
account or facebook page, give it to them and they will remember you when they
are grown and this is going to increase your audience dramatically. Give them
the opportunity to ask questions and make sure you answer each one of these
questions, They can even suggest what they will like reading from you, do your
best that you see they get this.
When you
just start do not be afraid to interview influencers in your industry. Some of
them are kind enough to reply to you. Make sure to keep it simple and not write
them as if they are some gurus. Write them with allot of respect addressing
their success. You can even come up with posts about them and inform them that
you have done that.
Do not flood
your blog with affiliate links when it has just 2 visitors a daily. People will
have to first of all get engage with what you have to say and then they will compensate
you by buying from the links you have to provide. Most internet buyers are
already aware of affiliate links and they see those that are just interested in
getting their money, they will bypass your affiliate link and move straight to
Amazon or clickbank. But if they see that your content is adding some value
into their lives and educating them, they will reward you by buying from what
you have to sell.
Why not
come up with your own e-book. On clickbank, you will be busy promoting peoples e-books
about weight loss, game manuals, how to's. You can come up with your own so that
people will be busy promoting what you have come up with. Get on the internet,
collect data, arrange it in a pdf file, post it on clickbank and watch people
start promoting this product for you. Or you know how to better take care of
kitchen utensils, write an e-book teaching people how to do that and they will
reward you by buying what you have to sell.
Nowadays
every one wants to blog, have you known something about blogging that no one
else is talking about, tell the world about it and make some money by doing
just that. Do not be scared by the number of blogs that are online, do not be
scared by the number of facebook page that are online, do not be scared by the
number of people that have eaten up twitter. Come up with your own unique idea,
start a blog and tell the world about what you have found, create a facebook
page and encourage and inspire people on a daily bases, build a twitter follow
up by sharing to them their favourite news about their stars.
If you do
all what I have said then you can make some money online why not a living. Be
consistent, give some time, you are not a robot that can do this everyday 24/7.
Once you start making money, do not stop until you reach a million dollars.

Have You Seen How Many Blogs Are Online?
Thursday, 5 March 2015
The first
time I stumbled upon blogging was back in 2011. By then I did not even know
what I had felt on. I was just trying to have content online to my Cameroonian
friends since I had just travelled to Germany at the time. When I just
started to find out what blogging was all about back in 2012, I found out that
people made some money blogging. I was determined to also make some money from
my blog. I have succeeded to make a couple of dollars since then. But I was
curious to find out more...
Then late
2014 I found out that people do make a living from blogging. Then I took
blogging a little serious since I had just recently lost my metal construction
job at the time. The last time I search the internet, there is this blogger that
is making as much as 8 million dollars from her blog.
Now that I
have a story rolling for you, let us get into why we are here today. If you search the internet on the number of blogs that
are online, you will find out that there are more than 167 million blogs online.
That sounds crazy right? What you can not find is what all these blogs are
writing about.
Reason For This Huge Number
Most people
create a blog, publish 5 post, create 2 backlinks, write 6 articles. Seat and
think people will just start visiting their blog. If they do not find people
coming to the blog, they create another and another. So you might find out at
the end of the day, one person owns a total of 10 unsuccessful blogs. Some of
them are just ignorant of the task they are required to carry if they have to
become successful bloggers and some are just lazy.
What does
that number of online blogs tell you, that every search term related to
blogging goes crazy right? This is where I come in. Do not start a blog about physics,
when you can just do a proper study on the different blogger platforms and teach
people how to use them and you can get famous doing just that.
There are
going to be people who just want to understand the blogger platform to do
certain task. There are many blogger platforms, you have blogger, owned by google,
wordpress, typad and many others. So if you do a study on how to use these different
blogger platforms, then you should be able to get a share on what has developed
from the blogging world.
Now you
have known that there are people who just want to understand the different
blogger platforms. Let us take it to the next level. The next set of people you
are going to find are people who want to know what blogging is all about. There
is no specific topic you are required to blog about.
What are
you passionate about? Search the internet to find out about influencers already
blogging about what you are passionate about. Understand the internet world you
are passionate about. Come out with some new ideas. But you have to be found in
the internet world. Do some more research if you have to, add what you know if
you must, but make sure you stay on tract.
Now you have
known what people are dying about to share on the internet. Let us get into the
next question
How do you get people to read what you have written?
Even if you
are teaching people how to use blogger owned by google, you will still need
people to visit and read what you have to say. The process involved in getting
people to read what you have written is known as internet traffic, web traffic,
blog traffic. It is the most broad topic when it comes to blogging. I am going
to tell you the different marketing strategies involved in getting internet
traffic and you will have to choose a few of them and do studies until you are
able to create expertise in these areas. I am also going to be showing you how
to make money from these services.
SEO: In full search engine optimization. What is
required of you here is to make
friends with search engines. And you want to be best of friends with google. Google
is the largest search engine on the internet. It's video site is the second largest
search engine on the web. That should tell you its authority when it comes to
search engine optimization.
So what is it about search engine optimization?
Your blog
will have to come up with search terms that are ranked preferably on the front
page of google. There are two things involved when it comes to search engine
optimization, which are:
Keywords: These are the search terms people will normally
search in order to get into a product, news, or idea... There are people who
are going to tell you to do keyword research. But I am not one of such people.
That is to me waste of time. Find out the topic you are interested to write
about, do some careful research, come out with a good post of at least 2000
words and there are going to be a good amount of keywords in that post of yours
to get you to rank high on google. There are even paid services to do keyword
research, if you buy that, you will just be wasting your hard earned money.
Backlinks: How google will rank your site will be
determine from the number of backlinks you have. Here quality defeads quantity. One authority backlink is worth 1000
low quality backlinks. You get backlinks when other sites link to you. I have
someone for you that can help you go through backlinks with ease known as Brian Dean, he is the owner of backlinko.
Making Money Through SEO
Yes you can
make money from your search engine optimation knowledge. There are multi million dollars companies just to carry out this
service for web and blog owners. This comes through what is known as link
building. So when doing link building, you want to give it some more attention
since it has the power to make you some extra money. There are going to be web
and blog owners that will pay you to do their link building project for them.
You can find them easily on sites like freelancer. Freelancer is a site where
website and blog owners come and post jobs ranging from simple data entry to
complicated java scripting. You can easily find someone on freelancer seeking
to get their link building project completed for a certain amount of fee.
If you want
to catch a project on freelancer, then you will have to be consistent on the
site. Since you might be biding on a single project with hundreds of other freelancers.
You have an added advantage if you are the first to bid on a project. Make sure
you bid the lowest since you are just starting on this site. And always leave a
private message to the project owner. Do not go for trial by error, make such
each project you are bidding for you have read and is able to meet up with the
requirements to complete that project. Freelancer is a realistic site you can
easily bid on a project and earn up winning that project. Do not write a cv,
most people are not interested to read a long and detailed cv, they want to
know if you can do the job or not. Write something simple like
Dear sir
I am new here. I promise I will deliver an
excellent job and at the lowest price.
Articles: You have come out with something you are
passionate to write about. You will need to come out with article ideas of at
least 450 words and submit them to article directories. When writing the
articles, do not make it look like a school assay, make it to look like a
story. This is going to make it interesting. If people love what you have
written, they will publish your articles on their website or blog, gaining even
more exposure. Try not to focus your attention on search engines but on people.
Use the prefixes I, you, me and write in a conversational tone.
Making Money Through Article Marketing
Are you
good at writing articles? Can you do copy writing? then you have a good job on
the internet. There are some people that have too much work or are too lazy to
come up with their own articles. What this type of people do is hire others to
get this work done for them. You can find such people at freelancer and odesk.
You get as much as 2$ for a single article.
Social Media: For those of you that are good with chatting
on the internet, I have something for you. Let us see how we can convert that
chat into some traffic and even some money. The two biggest and most popular
social media sites on the web are facebook and twitter. Facebook has almost 2
billion users. It is known as the reason why people browse the internet these
days. All your favourite stars keep their update with you on facebook. There
are games that are played by millions on facebook. You can use all of these for
your benefit. You can create a facebook page, keep up with the updates from
your favourite stars and games, by so doing you will make some new friends whom
you can direct to your page. Twitter is a mini blogger platform where you can
post short messages. To get the most out of your tweets, make sure you include
photos and links.
Some people
have come up with optimal times to post on twitter and facebook. Twitter on Friday
at 2pm - 5pm, facebook on Thursday at 1pm - 3pm. I do not believe in this,
study your audience know what they like, give it to them. Do not post on odd
hours though like 12am, almost everybody is at sleep or in the nightclubs at
this time.
Making Money Through Social Media Marketing
If you get
a good amount of facebook likes and twitter followers, then you can begin to
post affiliate links. Amazon and click bank offers such opportunities, even
eBay. Where you get the link of a particular product on these sites and place
on your blog and if some one buys that product, you get what is known as
commission, it can be as high as 75% or 50, 50. Say you place the link of a
product that cost 100$ on your blog and then someone ends up buying that
particular product you end up getting 75$ in the case of 75% commission or 50$
in the case of 50% commission. Yes that is how simple it is.
Videos: If you have a webcam at home that will be a
great idea. You can come up with short video ideas and upload them to video
sites. The videos should be at most 6 minutes to get maximum clicks. If you do
not know where to upload your videos, do a google search on video sites and it
will show you a ton of them for you to choose from.
Blog commenting: Here you are required to search for people
already writing on your topic. Read through what they have written and then
make comments. Make sure the comment is addressing the said topic. You can gain
recognition from the already loyal blog readers of that blog. And even the
owner if you comment consistently.
Forum Posting: People come together on the internet in places
known as forums to share common interest. Ask question, learn from each other.
Most of these forums give you 2 links, you get 1 profile link and 1 signature
link. Make sure you answer only question that you know what you are talking
about, by so doing you can scratch up a conversation. If you get 2 of such
conversation running, then your blog will get some visitor and link juice. Some
of these forums give you the opportunity to create a group. So you can create a
group and attract those of similar interest.
Question And Answer Sites: The 2 biggest and most popular of
such sites are yahoo answer and quora. People ask thousand of questions on
these sites on a daily bases. Go there join in, find out who you are able to
help, help them with what you know, and maybe they love you and visit your
blog.
Press Release: This is almost similar to article marketing,
but for the fact that your articles will have to sound like a news. Come out
with a news idea of the topic you have chosen. There are many sites that do
accept press release. Do a google search to get a list of such sites.
File Sharing: Like videos, you can upload files to file
sharing sites. Preferably pdf so that it can be downloaded. If your file goes
viral, then you know what that means.
All of the
above have developed from the term blogging. There are even companies running
these services I just listed above. So it is not a play game. Like I said
early, you do not have to do all of them and become the master of known. You
know the saying ''Jack of all trade and the master of non''. See the ones that
grab your interest and is interesting when doing. Study it and do not be
intimidated by the big fishes. There are some little details they are under
looking because of their scale, this is where you come in, take up all these
little pieces, study them, proof them, deliver it to the web and watch the
wanders.

Leading Bloggers
Wednesday, 4 March 2015
Leadership
is something that has been in place from the foundation of the Earth. Man fall
when he left the leadership of God. We are not here today to talk about the Bible, so stay with me. In the times
of the Pirates, when a leader fails to lead them to Gold and precious stones,
he was either replaced or killed. A good leader should be able to inspire,
encourage, guard, direct protect his subjects. I want to take up that position
and hope you vote for me to be your leader.
If you
recently had an idea to start a blog then do a search on the number of blogs
online, and you will find out that there are over 167 million blogs online. That
is a huge number right? It even has the power to discourage you. But that is
why I am here to tell you, you do
not have to get discouraged. Just a hand
full of all these people owning these blogs earn the blogger rewards. It is a
fun way to make money on the internet. You make money while sleeping. You make
money every day. And blogging is one of the most effective ways to make money
on the internet.
How do you make money through blogging?
There is a program
known as affiliate marketing where you get products from online stores place
them on your site, and if this product is bought through your affiliate link,
you earn what is known as a commission. Let us use Amazon as a case study. In Amazon,
there are products ranging from books to TV sets. You get a product from Amazon,
place it on your blog, someone one sees that product on your blog, click
through that link on your blog, buys that product from Amazon, you earn 50% or
75% commission of the purchase price. So let us say to took a product from
Amazon that costs 1$, if some one buys that product, you earn 50 and 25 cent
respectively.
Now after
knowing how to make money on your blog, let that not excite you. You need to
get people to visit your blog, enjoy and connect with what you have to offer.
This is where most people die. It is a difficult and frustrating process.
Why most people do not make it as bloggers?
1. The
internet is used by almost everyone nowadays, but that does not mean you can
just publish anything on the internet and expect that people will just start
flourishing into what you have published. You need to be seen by search
engines, social medias...
2. The
topic you have to blog on, in the blogger world is known as niche. Before you
jump into any niche, you have to do some research. Find influencers in that
niche, see what they are doing, interview them if you are able to, most of them
are willing to answer questions. You can even take a case study on them and
come out with a post about them publish it on your blog and then inform them
that you have done that. Let us take for example. You have decided to write
about taken care of home garden. Just the fact that you know about home gardening
does not just make you to jump on the internet and start writing about home
gardening. You need to know the world of home gardening on the internet.
3. Laziness: Blogging is not a means of
running away from the hard work at your work place. It also entails a schedule
amount of work every day before you can make earn means. But the advantage here is that once you start getting
visitors then you have arrived.
4. Lack of Motivation: Do not choose a
topic you have not done any research on or just because everyone is writing
about that topic. Trust me you will need allot of motivation in the early years
of your blogger career. It is a perilous time. Choose something you love
talking about in your every day life. For those of you that like football, why not
write about football, do you like video games then write about video games, or
maybe you like fashion then tell the world about your passion on fashion.
5. No strategy: Yes you might be
intelligent. You know what you are talking about. But why don't you have tones
of people stumbling on your blog yet? You will need a strategy. We will talk
about this later in the post.
So those
are some of the reasons why your friend that is trying to discourage you from
doing blogging has faced is or will face. I have a 5 Years blogging experience,
I want to run you through a one year successful blogging experience. You ready
then let us get into it.
In the
blogging world, you can not do without what is known as internet traffic, web
traffic, blog traffic. From this term alone has come multi million dollar
companies covering the following topics
Article marketing: where you write articles about a particular
topic and submit them to article directories like ezinearticles...
Video marketing: Here you create short videos and submit them
to video sites like youtube...
Social media marketing: You have to be active on social
media sites like facebook, twitter.
Forum posting: You will have to find forums that are
relevant to your niche and contribute to the question and answer section of
these forums.
SEO: known as search engine optimization. You will
have to make certain search terms known as keywords from your blog being seen
on the first page of search engines. And google when it comes to search engine
optimization is your best friend.
Blog Commenting: You will have to look for sites that write
about what you are interested in and make comments on what they are sharing on
the internet.
Joining Question and Answer sites: There are sites on the internet
like quora and yahoo answer where people come and ask about things they are
interested in, concern about frustrated about want to learn about... you can be
of good help if you develop a sense of expertise on a particular topic on these
sites.
From me you
are allowed to use any of the marketing strategy above.
Tipp:
Choose two
and do until you become an expert.
We are
going to be looking at search engine optimization. To get noticed by search
engines, you need what is known as backlinks. There is a guy that has it all
when it comes to backlinks. Known as Brian
Dean owner of backlinko. He
became famous when he came up with the scraper
technique. Which involves searching on a topic that you are interested in
to write about that already has allot of exposure, modify it and share it on
the internet again. You will love his method of getting backlinks which comes
from social signals. How many share and likes can you get from facebook, how
many retweets can you get from twitter, how many pins can you get from
pinterest, how many stumbles can you get from stumbleupon...
Other
things you will love about Brian.
- Has a focus: Brain has studied
backlinks and has concentrated all his attention to get the best out of what
backlinks bring.
- Keep it simple: You will never hear
Brian telling you about something you can not do. His English is also the
simple English. And not a sophisticated English class.
- Does case study: Brian is very
interested in the success of his readers. If you make it with one of the
methods Brian give to you, he is going to do a case study on you and gain you
even more exposure.
Videos: Brian also comes out with videos for those of
you that prefer watching videos.
Course: Brian has an upcoming course to teach you
about what he has learn about backlinks.
Cute: You an handle Brian's look.
There is
this guy that I met on the internet when it comes to traffic known as Neil Portal. He has many blogs, but I
got to know him through quicksproud.
This man has been blogging for 10 years, sure he knows what the hell he is
talking about. Neil also keeps it simple and straight to the point. He has his
readers at heart. Uses Info graphics to explain statistics.
If there
are 167 million blogs online, that makes any search term about blogging crazy
right? Why not take some time, study the blogger platform, come out with a
great post about blogging, the blogger platform, your traffic methods, your
social media integration. And then you can incorporate it with your area of
expertise.
People are
making as much as 8 million dolars from blogging. Who say you can not too. Give
it a try put in some effort. Do not go in for failure but for success.

5 Steps To Christian Growth
Friday, 27 February 2015
Like birth
that involves a child being born and gradually growing to an adult, so is Christianity.
There is also birth and growth to adult hood in Christianity. Christianity is
not a Religion it is a understanding of the death on the cross of Calvary . To the world dead on the cross is foolishness
but unto us it is power leading to salvation. This are the 5 steps to Christian
growth...
1
Understanding Your Helper: Your helper to Christianity is the Holy Spirit.
Understanding the Bible is a very difficult task. Infact you can't understand
the Bible as a human. You need divine interpretation to better understand the
Bible. The Holy Spirit is a person that lives in a body (you.) He is going to
teach you the power of resurrection.
2 Read The
Bible: Do not assume you already know what is written in the Bible. You need to
read it. Don't speed read it like one of your story books, take some time,
wonder at the words you see, ask questions, tell the Holy Spirit to interpret
what you can't understand. If you are a beginner, the start with Mathew, Mark,
Luke and John since they are narrating the story of Jesus Christ.
3 Daily
Devotionals: These are short articles written by those with a better
understanding of the Bible (called Bible Scholars.) They choose scriptures in
the Bible and explain the human connection to that particular scriptures.
Sometimes it is hard to pick up and Bible and just start writing. It is easier
to turn to daily devotionals if you have such a problem. You will be reading
the Bible and then getting explanation to it. That is like killing two birds
with one stone eh.
4 Fellower
Believers. Not all believers will encourage you in the faith. This is a very
big problem for those of you that will start with the faith. But there are
those that can really help you grow in the faith. Find them by using the spirit
of descendent. This is for the advanced Christians.
5 Prayer: The Bible has a way it puts it that sounds so good ''prayer is the key, prayer is the key, prayer is the masters key, Jesus started with prayer and ended with prayer, prayer is the masters key.'' That sounded like a little song right. Some people think praying is weak, it is not, the way we talk to God is called prayer. Talk to God, ask him questions, share your frustration and pain with him. He is going to respond to you.
This
article 5 Steps To Christian Growth is to ensure you benefit from the faith and
not become a Church goer. There are other methods you can grow your Christian
faith like going regularly to Church, but you want to create a connection to
the one who is the founder and the owner of the Church (Jesus Christ.)

The Truth About Blogging
Thursday, 1 January 2015
It is easy to hear that people make money from blogging and then you
think you can just jump in and you will start making money too.
Fact: you can make money
blogging and even a living.
When you just start a blog,
you will be introduced to something called blogtraffic, internet traffic, site traffic, website traffic, web traffic.
Onlike the one we all normal hate, car traffic, road traffic, internet traffic is what you will need
when it comes to blogging. I am not going to start teaching you here about how to blog and how to get blogtraffic. I want to encourage you and tell you some of the lies you will
find when you start searching the web on how to generate traffic to your blog. It is a fustrating process
because no one takes the time to tell the truth. I am not the best man but
atleast I have all those who want to make money on the internet through
blogging at heart. Read on as we disclose some of the many things you will be
required by most bloggers you most do.
You have created your blog,
now what? you want people to read what you are writing about. You will be
introduced to what is called blog promotion,
website promotion, site promotion. Many if not all will
ask you to do the following.
Search engine optimization: This involves
making your site searchable by search engines such as google, yahoo, bing... What you do here is create backlinks by commenting
on other blogs, creating profiles on other websites. And you will have to also
do what is known as keyword research. A keyword is something people will normally
type on say google to get an
information, news... say ''how to getblog traffic'' This is a very huge topic when it comes to blogging. There
are websites, blogs, and even paid services just to cover this subject alone.
Social media marketing: Here you will have to create profiles
on social media sites like facebook,
stumbleupon, twitter, digg, delicious... and be active on them so
you can get followers who will eventually visit your blog or website.
Article marketing: Here you are required to write articles
and submit them to article directories like ezinearticles, articlebase...
Most of the article directories will give you two links back to your blog. One in the article body and the
other in your BIO.
Video marketing: This requires you to
create short videos and submit them to videos sites like youtube...
Forum posting: Here you will have to create profiles
on forums and get involved in asking and answering questions.
Joining Q&A sites: Like yahoo answer...
Where you will be required to answer questions post by people. You also have the opportunity to ask your own
questions.
These ones are definitely the basics and fundamnetal when it comes to
blogging. What you will find is everyone trying to modify them and make them
look their way.
So here are the things you
will commonly find online. How I got 17k (17000) visitors in one day, How I
increased a blog traffic by 30% in 2
months, How I incraesed my traffic by 114% in 2 weeks. All these are lies. What
these bloggers are not telling you is that they have been blogging for a very
long time before they finally found out what works and what doesn't.
For someone like me, I have done it all. I have been blogging for 4
years. Do you know how fustrating it is to do it all and yet not get the results
you were expecting? This is why I decided to come up with this post.
Now bottom line peope are making a living blogging at the comfort of
their homes and you can too I want to show you how.
First you will have to choose something you are passionate about. This
is to ensure you love what you are doing and can write frequently on that
topic. What you want to do is create a blog
for people. If people love reading what you write, you will get all the hard
work done by them for you. They will share your content and get you backlinks, (
ie they will optimize your site for search engines for you), they will fill your
social networks, they will write articles for you ( some people just copy what
others have written and place on their blog,
I have been there) they will post
videos for you by converting your articles into videos.
Then you will have to find blogs that write on a similar topic as you.
Find ones that already have a fair amount of traffic. And comment regularly on
them. The type of comment I mean here
is not the normal ''thank you for sharing this post,'' ''great article.'' Read
through the post and understand what
the writer is trying to transpire and make a comment adding value to that post. You can even raise up an argument
on something you disagree the writer wrote about. But be sure you know what you
are doing. Because you will get alot of heat from those already reading that blog and from the writer himself. This
is what you can get, you can get noticed by the writer and tap into his/her already
loyal blog followers.
The truth about blogging, blogging is really a good way to add some
decent money at home. It takes some time, patience and hardwork. Be stragegical
and creative in your approach, love what you do, write interesting stuffs, make
intelligent comments on other blogs, give the blog some time to age and get use to the internet. Blogging is not
Asap ( you do not get it right here,
right now.)
