Your Internet Marketing Plan: Blog, Blog Is NOT Blah, Blah
As we continue on our path of building an internet marketing plan, one option to building a website would be to start a BLOG.
Blog stands for web log, which is a continuous string of posts that you make about whatever you want to talk about.
It can be reviews,information about your particular niche, or just what your thoughts are on the world at hand.
Many people start blogging because they get excited about an idea or subject and just want to share their thoughts with the world.
Maybe you have seen how many people are blogging now days and you just want to join the fun.
Or maybe you just have a lot to say.
You can do you blogging just for fun but the purpose of this article is to get you to realize that blogging the right way can put money in you pocket.
I hope this is what your marketing plan is all about.
When you start out you may feel that blogging is easy...
just put up a new post in an hour or two, link it up and call it a day.
But if you want to monetize your blog, meaning you want to make money from it, it will take a lot more effort than that.
(uh oh, there's that word "effort" again) Don't think of monetizing as a bad thing.
There is nothing wrong with getting paid for your efforts.
If you are sharing some valuable information concerning a particular niche, you could possibly get some sponsors to post ads on your blog.
There are some easier ways tho.
You will need to take the time necessary to set these ideas into motion, but once you do, they should continue to run on autopilot for you.
One program to consider is the use of AdSense, which is run my Google.
You will find AdSense advertisements all the web.
You will recognize them because of their trademark "Ads by Google" You probably know what they look like but may not be aware of how they work.
Unfortunately explaining it all will take up another article, or book.
At this point, just familiarize yourself with this form of monetization.
Another smart way to make money from you blog is to advertise other people's products on your blog.
By becoming an affiliate marketer, you can both blog about the product and place different ads for different products right on your page.
By setting the page up correctly you can sell the product right from your blog and then you get to collect the commissions.
There are two major components to blogging that you must master in order for it to be successful for you.
Always remember: content is king...
and be consistent.
If you want people to read your blog, it must have quality content.
Would you read it if you hadn't written it? If not, why would anyone else.
Write well, with good information, and people will come back for more.
You have to consistently add to your blog if you want people to come back for more.
This is the key to making your blog profitable.
If content is king, then traffic is at least queen.
You need traffic coming to your blog.
Part of your internet marketing plan needs to address how you are going to accomplish this.
Once you have established your plan, get to work on it.
Put in the time and effort, then you will be able to reap the rewards you deserve.
