Blogging Business Strategy

Textblogg 24 april, originally uploaded by moonhouse.

Blogging is really quite a phenomenon. Anybody can be “published” internationally on the Internet with a blog - but that doesn’t guarantee you readers. What is the strategy that successful bloggers use to make money online?

Today on Get More Business Podcast we’ll be discussing a strategy that many Internet Marketers use when developing an income producing blog.

Here’s a list of some of the basic steps to get started:

Research - Before you do anything at all you need to do some research on whether or not people are shopping for what you want to offer. Terry Dean has a great report that is available for only $10 that will describe a method and several sources for researching and choosing slam dunk markets.

Secure a domain name and hosting - The host that I trust for my domain registration and reliable hosting is a company called My Small Business Website. Their prices are reasonable - less than $10 to register a domain and just under $4 a month to host - that’s less than a Mocha Frappechino from Starbucks! Their customer service is friendly and available 24/7. I almost never talk to customer service or tech support - only because I almost never have a problem! The website hosting package includes a free WordPress Blog that can be installed for you - you just need to customize and fill it with content!

Create a 30 Day Plan for creating content and promoting your blog. This is not my idea. I subscribe to Terry Dean’s Monthly Mentor Club. This monthly printed publication is a wealth of information. It’s the best $20 I spend each month.

Following are practices that you will need to do repeatedly to create an income producing blog:

• Research Long Tail Keywords for your market - this is important to get found on the Internet.
• Post comments on complimentary blogs and forums
• Write relevant blog posts - write ahead for the whole week!
• Turn your blog posts in to Articles and submit to other publishers and bloggers
• Submit your best posts to Blog Carnivals
• Write and Submit Press Releases
• Interview guests to create products and or blog posts
• Create and upload video

Your success will be in consistency. Don’t abandon Your blog! We’ll talk more about this on the show!
