The Essentials of Blog Posting

Copyright © Liane Bate
http://www.HonestMoneyMaking.com

Blogging has probably been the most fun internet marketing activity I've undertaken in my online business. I love to write, and reach out to my website visitors with new information, news, reports, opinions, or articles that I've created that expose a little of my personality and give my readers something they want to hear. Not only is it fun, but it's free, profitable, and generates hoards of traffic to your site, provided that you make quality posts with quality content and know how to market your blog. There are good ways and bad ways to blog, so here are a few essential things to keep in mind when making your blog posts:

First you have to write something that people will be interested in reading, and reading regularly. Posting your articles to your blog is the best way to get quality content on your blog, but it's also good to write about your own personal experiences and opinions. Your articles should be at least 500 words, and your personal comments can be shorter, but still containing quality content. You don't want to post just one fantastic article packed with content, you want to post many, and try to make a blog post every day, every other day, or even weekly so that your readers know that your blog is fresh and updated regularly. The first few months that your blog is launched are critical months when you want to attract a readership and give them enough that they bookmark your site to come back to it frequently. Giving your blog a domain name that's easy for them to remember and represents your content with good keywords is also a good idea.

There's another thing you can do with your original articles to gain exposure to your blog, and that is submitting them to a blog carnival. This means submitting them to a site that features and summarizes maybe 5 quality articles on a specific topic. Other blogs will link back to this carnival host, giving you more quality traffic. Also, when you make a blog post, you can link to other people's blog articles, which leaves an entry on their post to your post. It may attract other bloggers to you, who may in turn link back to your posts. A good article directory to submit your articles to maybe once a week is Ezine Articles.

Once you have a blog, you want to expose it to the right audience. A good way to do this is by making comments on other people's blogs whose content is related to your content. If you randomly post comments all over the place on blogs unrelated to what your site is about, then you won't generate the kind of traffic you want. Stick to your niche, and you will get readers from that niche wanting to click on your blog link at the end of your comments. It's also a good idea to encourage people to make comments on your blog posts, and to reply to these comments to keep a conversation going. The more comments that are left on your blog, the more other people visiting your blog will realize you have something important and valuable to say, and they will want to read it to find out what all the buzz is about.

I have also joined a blog traffic exchange to get traffic to my blog, but you can also submit your blog to different blog directory sites, such as Blog Top Sites. This site allows you to add a small bit of HTML code to your blog so it can be rated in a particular category and will help get you more traffic and better ratings. If you remember to not only create quality content for your blogs, but also market your blog effectively by commenting, linking, and submitting regularly to the right places, you will be on your way to having a popular and well-visited blog!

Major Announcement From Success University!

Copyright © Liane Bate

In case you haven't already heard, Success University has just officially released a major announcement that could help you do less and earn more with your Success University membership.

The announcement is this:

Currently to qualify for commissions in Success University, you need to personally enroll one active student every month. If you personally enroll more than that in one month, the extras will carry over to the following months. For example, if in one month you personally enroll 4 active students, you will be qualified for 4 months. Once you get 12 personally enrolled students, then you are qualified to receive commissions for life, as long as those students stay active.

Now, the major announcement is that as of June/06, right now, you are only required to personally enroll 6 active students to be qualified for life instead of 12! This means 20% more Success University checks being issued out per month, and more money in your pockets!

Why? The advisory board made this decision JUST BECAUSE! Out of the kindness of their hearts because they can! If they pay out more money to Success University students, then we are all more motivated to enroll new students! What a gift from the Board! Success University just got way easier and more profitable for everyone! Here's a huge Thank you to the Board from a very happy Success University member and I encourage you all to get on the bus while Success University is still fresh, new, exciting, and RED HOT!

Get Your Website Visitors Stuck on You!

Copyright © Liane Bate
http://www.HonestMoneyMaking.com

Many people think that all you have to do to run a business online is to shoot up a website packed with affiliate links and you're ready to rumble...Truth is, it takes visitors to generate sales, and when visitors arrive at your site, they are often there for a quick browse that requires you to get their immediate attention if you want them to stick around. Grabbing their attention is not as easy as you may think, but it can be done if you follow a few of these guidelines:

The first thing to consider when capturing unique visitors to your site is that you need their name and email address. It takes maybe six or seven viewings of an offer before most people will bite, so if you expect a new visitor to stick with you after their first visit, then think again. If you want them to come back to your site, you have to offer them a compelling reason to come back often, and the best way to do that is by having a lead capture form. If they sign up, make sure they understand that they are not signing up for nothing - that they will be getting a free newsletter and whatever other special offer you may have. You should also make it clear that you will be in touch with them about other offers and promotions. If they sign up and then you leave them alone, or leave it up to your auto-responder to reply, chances are you'll have an "unsubscribe" in no time.

Visitors love freebies, especially if it is something of value. Not only will your visitors get a free newsletter packed with the latest information, tips, and specials, but it's also a good idea to offer a free ebook related to the content of your site. The newsletter is much more valuable if it is not only an auto-responder series, but also has a touch of your personality entwined in the messages. They are also more effective when they're not just sales pitches, but offer helpful information that your customers will appreciate. The ebook can be one that you have resell rights to and can brand with your own name and links, or one that you write yourself. If you think you can't write a book, a good tip is to categorize the articles you write into folders by topic, and then amalgamate the articles into an ebook of your own creation. There are many sources on the net that can help you get started with writing an ebook, and many article directories that you submit your articles to will even offer services and support to get you started.

Other freebies you can offer include free downloadable trial versions of software if your site deals with software in any way, a special report that describes a good way of making or saving money that you have some expertise about, a 5-day e-course, a secret mystery bonus, a free club membership, a free monthly draw prize, or make deals with other internet marketers who visit your site to exchange links.

Remember that your visitors will be stuck on you the more honest you are, the more valuable information you provide on a regular basis, and the more freebies you provide! A good trick is to offer an exit popup on your site that offers a lot of your freebies all at once if your visitors leave their name and email address. Leaving them an offer they can't refuse is a sure way to get more signups!

Success Means Making a Significant Contribution

Copyright © Liane Bate
http://www.HonestMoneyMaking.com

I didn't know what making a contribution meant, or what its value was until I finished 7 years of university and college, and was about 3 years into my first real job. I would work day-to-day on a job that gave me incredible work skills and knowledge that I still use today. But it wasn't until someone higher up in the organization empowered me to contribute to the organization as a whole rather than to just to one separate part that I realized the true meaning of contribution. Not only did this make me feel more important, but it gave my job more meaning, and energized me from within. In fact, I was glowing, and very eager to contribute more and more, not because it paid me more - it didn't - but because it made me feel good to bring value to the organization beyond the responsibilities of my actual job. In our businesses we must do the same if we wish to achieve success. By this I mean making a significant contribution of value, going above and beyond the call of duty, and thinking beyond the monetary rewards at the end.

There are many ways in our online businesses that we can make a significant contribution. For me, it started with participating in discussion forums. While they do provide an opportunity to advertise our links and possibly generate sales, I have actually found even more value in helping others whenever I can. The more I learn about internet marketing, the more knowledge, skills, and experience I have to help others who are newer than me. It is a tremendous feeling to hear someone thank me for my help and to know that I have made their experience on the forum and in their businesses easier or more delightful in some way. When you choose to help others and consider it more important than making money, others will start to value you, trust you, and turn to you.

Making a contribution online can also mean building the relationship you have with your subscribers. While it is handy and even necessary to have an auto-responder that will send pre-written emails off to your list of possibly thousands of subscribers, you must also take the initiative to add your own messages to the pre-written series - messages that are more personal, reveal some of your own character and personality, and messages that show your subscribers and potential customers that you really care about them and their needs. At first, I let the auto-responder do the work, which has in fact saved me time and allowed me to learn and do other things. Now, I am really starting to enjoy communicating with my subscribers and prospects and sending off an email that shows them who I really am, whether they buy something from me or not. I enjoy helping them, and want to empower them just as I was empowered at my first job. Sales are not the bottom line in my mind - it's the relationship of trust and integrity that you build with your list that will determine your success.

Another great way of making a contribution in your online business is by generating your own unique, creative, and content-rich articles and blogs. Not only is this a free or inexpensive way of advertising your business, but by offering an article packed with information, tips, techniques, inspiration, motivation, encouragement, knowledge, skills, or technical expertise, you are offering something of true value to your readers that will have them coming back for more. I know that my biggest sense of accomplishment comes from generating my own articles. While you can hire someone to write them for you, I just feel proud of creating my own, and knowing that my words are being read all over the internet. It's an added bonus that my contributions are also generating links, traffic, and positive comments for me!

If you want to be successful in your business, you have to do something that matters, and dealing out nothing but a sales pitch is not going to do the trick. You need to make a difference, do something of value that has meaning for your customers like giving them a free gift, offering to pay half their membership, or providing some outstanding service that goes above and beyond what most people would do. The truth is, the more you give, the more you get, so seek out a higher place of achievement and contribution, and this will be your ticket to success!
