The Three Essential Points You Must Know About Blog Marketing
Posted on: December 17, 2009 by Peter No Comments
Marketing your blog is a relatively straight forward concept but is not fully utilized by Internet Marketers to get the maximum benefit out of it. Too many people are under the impression that by simply building a free blog about their areas of interest or expertise, knock out a couple of posts a month, that they can just kick back and watch the dollars come flowing in. It’s not going to come as a surprise that there is no such thing as a free lunch and this is not how you make money from blogging. As with pretty much any money making method, writing and maintaining a blog effectively involves plenty of man-hours.
With that in mind, I’ve come up with 3 top tips that every marketing needs to consider when it comes to blog marketing and making money with their blog.
1. Content Is King: Hopefully this goes without saying, the notion that you can throw up previously used PLR articles or spun content on to a blog and expect great results is not just wrong, it’s pointless. The more unique, insightful and indepth the content is, the more visitors will stick around and click on your ads.
2. Time to get systematic: A blog is a beast that needs to be fed. Without fresh new content it will simply roll over and die, disappearing from the SERPS (that’s Search Engine Ranking Pages) and gather cyber dust until the domain expires. But there is good news, most blogging platforms have a scheduling feature which allows you to enter all your blog posts in one go and schedule them to post on what ever time and date you specify, it’s possible to even schedule posts every day for years (although it would probably take about a week to set up!).
3. List Building: We all know that money is in the list (unless you really are that much of newbie) but failing to establish a mailing list on your new blog is like leaving thousands of dollars on the table. Think about it, people interested in your niche and when a new product comes along that targets them, you send the offer to your list and BAM! You’ve just had a $1,000 day in commissions.
Blog marketing has captured the imaginations of tens of thousands of people and yet only a handful are making any significant money. The majority of blog marketers fail to implement the above essential points and then complain about how they are not making enough money! Be clever, add unique relevant content on a consistent basis and build your list to get people coming back to your site time and again.
