I run a successful blog which I am taking seriously, most of its content provided by guest bloggers. I must say managing a multi-authors blog is not an easy task because there is a lot of communications and editorial work to be done before getting posts published on the host blog. So if you are planning to accept guest posts on your blog, prepare yourself for some serious work.…continue reading…

Networking is one of the best ways to get your guest posts accepted. I know for a fact that some of my guest posts would not have been published if it wasn’t for my friendship with the blog owner. The key here is not to spam their blog and comment 5 times on each post (unless it is relevant), they key is to email the blogger with suggestions, promote their content on social media sites and even link to their blog from your site. Doing all of this can get the blog owners attention and that is the trick to building a network.…continue reading…

Lots of bloggers participate in guest posting in the effort to generate some targeted traffic to their blog. Other bloggers may use blog commenting as a means to generate this targeted traffic. I am sure that you would agree with me that targeted traffic is one of the best types of traffic that can happen to any blog or website. Targeted traffic can be described as people who come to your blog or website that are truly interested in your site’s content and can be a source of incoming traffic to your blog. My question to you is, Does guest posting and blog commenting still work for generating targeted traffic back to your blog? …continue reading…

SEO companies are now abusing Google authorship to insert pictures on company websites that are not truly blogs. This only makes it that much more difficult for honest bloggers to reach a wider audience. Google attempted to do bloggers a favour by allowing them to display small pictures of themselves in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). Unfortunately, many SEO companies quickly found a method to abuse this practice in order to increase conversions when people find their company’s pages in Google.…continue reading…

What crap am I referring to? Things like posting every single day, going to all the social networking sites, plus writing dozens of outside posts for guest blogging only to see a trickle of visitors. You see it has been a little over six years since I have been on this make money online mission and the avenue I’ve found most worthy of pursuing is building email databases of potential customers across diverse niches. Better known as list building.…continue reading…

We all have ways to share our content to Facebook (If you don’t that’s a MUST DO right now!) in the form of a button placed somewhere on your blog. Ileane uses floating social media buttons that trail the post as you scroll down. That is one way to do it. Some people place their social media buttons at the beginning of the post, others at the end and others yet, at both the beginning and end. I use a social media plugin called Socialize which places social media buttons at the top of each blog post and then creates a Feature Box at the end of each post with additional social media buttons.…continue reading…

When looking through web sites and blogs that are for sale on the open market place, nothing is more exciting than seeing a web site up for sale that you already visit and read every day. This is exactly what happened when I saw Blogging Tips for sale on Flippa a few years back. I already knew the owner Kevin from a few emails we sent back and forth over the years, so I knew a little bit about the owner of the site, but no idea on the actual revenue/profit numbers until the actual auction posting was up.…continue reading…

As a blog owner, we need to produce high quality contents in the form of posts on daily basis to make sure our blog is moving in the right direction.

To solve the problem of publishing relevant contents on regular basis, you should incorporate a guest blogging system on your blog.…continue reading…

Often, when you think of your blog traffic strategy, you think of guest posting, blog commenting or SEO. Perhaps some of you might even think of video marketing if you are into youtube, or perhaps like Ms. Ileane (and myself lately…) you might think about your podcasting as a traffic source. However, for over a year and a half, NONE of these was my primary source of traffic, leads, or sales for my blog. In fact, my biggest blog traffic strategy is one that many people fail to even consider: Forum Marketing! …continue reading…

There are many ways to market your business online using social media and one of the best ways is to use Facebook advertising. If you haven’t looked at this type of advertising in a while, it’s time to reconsider. Recently, Facebook has made major changes to the way business fan pages are created and shown. This change called “timelines” allows you more web page real estate on your fan page. For me, the biggest advantage Facebook advertising has is that is allows you to target by interest. When you fill out your personal Facebook profile and include your interest, Facebook uses that information to show you very specific ads. …continue reading…

My first association with blogging happened in 2003 when my mom bought the ‘Google Cash Cow’ CDs out of curiosity. Marketed as the ultimate money making machine with free hosting and free website that supposedly let’s you make millions in a short span of time, the Indian blogging industry has gone beyond the Google Cash Cow’s and evolved as a strong publishable medium, with the number of professional tech bloggers, personal bloggers and business bloggers on the rise…continue reading…

By now you’ve probably read at least three dozen out the thousands of articles written on why collecting email subscribers is so important to the growth and success of your blog. And to a certain extent this is going to be another one… as I agree completely. Email subscribers are of the utmost importance… Truly the only non-revenue counting stat I care about. If you are like me and you constantly tweak your newsletter to produce the best product then feedback is very important. You could be writing killer content but see increasingly diminished results because of Zombie subscribers inaction…continue reading…

If you are an owner of a WordPress blog, then most probably you might be facing some WordPress trackback related spam in your blog and if your blog has some good amount of blog posts then this problem escalates and it’s quite difficult to control the problem.
Although this problem maybe solved by using some wordpress plugin, but using wordpress plugin for every small problem simply bloats your wordpress and your blog becomes quite slow. So, use as few plugins as you can.…continue reading…

Most of us have a love-hate relationship with writing proposal. When we’ve decided to start our own business we should be ready to communicate with clients. On the one hand, we adore being asked. After all, proposals are the lifeblood of our business, so who doesn’t appreciate being wanted? On the other hand, we despise unknowns. And by their very nature, requests for proposals are full of them. They force us to make assumptions, pressure us to draw conclusions, and often propel us into chaos. No wonder proposals evoke feelings of doubt and vulnerability in even the most staid professional.

I always tell people to surf the internet and you’ll soon find an eclectic and diverse range of successful online business, from multi-million dollar enterprises and run by boards of directors to solo-owned ventures generating a modest but regular income and run by enterprising teenagers. One interesting point you may glean from surfing the net is that these online businesses are incredibly varied. Some are based on sales of products and others provide a service. Some are extensions of offline businesses. There are even some that don’t have any blatantly obvious way of making any money, yet have an enormous subscriber list or astronomical site traffic, which actually equates to serious income generation potential…continue reading…
