MAKE MONEY BLOGGING
Content, content, content!
Content makes the web go round.
From the moment you begin researching ways to make money online, you hear WRITING,
WRITING, and MORE WRITING, over and over again There’s a reason for that and we’re going to
discuss how the written word can make you money, but YOU don’t have to be the one doing all that
writing. Save your paper and your wrists!
One of the hottest ways to make money online is through the power of blogging. But, what does
blogging require? What do you think? What ONE thing must you do above all else in order to blog?
If you’re like the majority of people, your answer probably included you guessed it WRITING!
After all, that’s what a blog is all about right? On your blog you are sharing your thoughts with
others in the form of blog posts that you’ve written - constant writing.
Before you run for the hills, let me let you in on a little secret.
While those blog posts are necessary in order for you to be a successful blogger, they do
NOT
all have to be written by you.
You need content to make your blog successful, but it does not have to be written by you.
Let me explain by giving you some ways to make money and keep your blog fresh without
wearing yourself out or giving yourself Carpal Tunnel Syndrome before you even get
started bringing in the dough.
But, first, you need to know why content so important on the Internet and especially your blog.
Why is Content Crucial?
Here are a few reasons...
First of all, people come to the web for one thing and one thing only – information. Whether
they're shopping for products to buy or looking for a natural remedy for their acne, they're hitting
the web for information, advice, and help.
If your readers find quality information from you they're very likely to:
Stick Around
Sign Up for Your ezine or newsletter
Twitter about your site
Recommend your posts at places like StumbleUpon.com
Sign up for your RSS feed
Come back in the future
Refer others to your site
Second, search engines
LOVE
content. The more pages you have on your website or blog filled
with quality content, the better. Whether you offer product reviews, funny stories, or meaty
training, quality content is rewarded by Google, MSN, and Yahoo, as well as the many other smaller
search engines online.
Third, adding value to the Internet begins to establish you as an expert on your topic. By writing
great information, your readers will begin to look at you as THE go-to person for information.
You'll begin attracting interview and JV requests as well.
As you can see content really is important if you want to build a successful blog or website on the
Internet. Without it, your site is just another in the World Wide Web. How can people find you if
they don’t know you exist? By establishing yourself and providing your readers with quality posts
and other valuable information they need and want, you will see that you can easily become one
of the big fish in the pond.
But, what if you don’t have time to write constantly? Or, what if you don’t like writing? You’re in
luck, there are many ways to add quality information to your blog without having to write it all
yourself.
Before we get to that, let me tell you that while you can create a blog purely made up of content
that you don’t write yourself, I wouldn’t advise it If you want to really resonate with your readers,
you have to let them get to know you as well Don’t shy away from writing some posts yourself, but
instead use these content creation methods along with your own writing to create even more
quality information for your visitors.
Day 2
in this part we are going to talk about some of the places online where you can get your free contents for your blog.
Where to Find Content for Your Blog?
|
Now that you know you need great content for your blog
and why, it’s time to move on to the meat
|
of this report I promised I’d tell you how to get that
content without wearing your fingers to the
|
bone So, here we go! Hang on it’s going to be a fun
ride!
|
There are freelance writers who make it their business
to write articles, blog posts and more for
|
website owners as well as bloggers. Most of these
writers, also known as ghostwriters, charge per
|
written piece and base their charges on the word count
of the content you need. For instance, you
|
can have a 300 word blog post written for X amount of
dollars on the desired topic of your choice.
|
Normally, you will send the writer either a broad
topic or even an actual title and they will in turn
|
write the content for you following your
specifications. Finding a ghostwriter is not hard,
|
especially with the field growing by leaps and bounds
every single day. The hard part is finding a
|
writer you can communicate well with, afford, and who
can write in a way that captures your
|
Here are some tips to keep in mind when hiring a
ghostwriter.
|
- Ask around and see who comes recommended. You can
easily get
|
references from other bloggers, website owners,
Internet marketers, and even on social media
|
- While this is an option, I would definitely ask
people you know and trust for their
|
suggestions for a writer first Just because a person’s
website makes it to the top of the search
|
engine results and they “claim” to be an experienced
writer, doesn’t mean they are
|
Recommendation: Shelancers.com offers a variety of
writers to choose from.
|
It Might Take More than One to Find THE One
|
Just as every blog is different, so are writers Don’t
get discouraged if you try one (or sometimes
|
more) writer and he or she is not what you had in mind
Some writers can take any blog owner’s
|
writing style and implement it in their articles and
blog posts with no problem what-so-ever. Others
|
If you hire a writer and find you don’t like their
writing style or approach to a topic, move to
|
another. I can tell you from experience; sometimes it
takes going through a few writers to find the
|
one that “gets it” and will whip out superb content
that fits your personality as if you wrote it
|
When you hire a writer make sure you give them
feedback once they’ve completed a writing
|
project for you If there was something you didn’t like
about the article – the way they worded
|
things wasn’t how you would have done it, etc. – let
them know. A professional writer will be open
|
to all types of feedback and offer to correct the
issue with a re-write. By providing feedback, you
|
are not only letting the writer know what you like and
dislike about the content, but you are also
|
building a relationship that will become very
beneficial for both of you.
|
For instance, I know I can start writing something
that’s in my head and when I get stuck, it’s
|
nothing for me to whip it over to my writer and say
“Help!” I have developed a relationship with
|
her that allows me to feel comfortable throwing
something her way without a second thought for
|
improvement, additions, etc. I know that once she
returns it to me I will not only be pleased, but it
|
will read as if I’ve written it all myself because she
and I have communicated and discussed my
|
likes and dislikes so much that she could pass as me
almost any day!
|
I know I just said that I can send something to my
writer and it would be like I’ve written it myself,
|
but that doesn’t mean I can get away with not looking
at the finished product Even the best of
|
writers have their off days, mine included.
|
Therefore, it is critical that any piece of writing
you have someone else put together for you,
|
should be reviewed and edited as necessary Whether
you’re making changes to put more of your
|
own thoughts and opinions to it or simply adding
monetization items, you must, must, must
|
review each and every piece of content you have
created for you.
|
You may have seen these on other blogs you, yourself
frequent. Also commonly referred to as
|
guest bloggers, guest experts are people who can
provide relevant information to your readers in
|
the form of guest posts These are people who somehow
tie in with your blog’s topic. For instance,
|
if you own an Internet marketing blog you might
consider approaching people from the following
|
areas about submitting guest posts or becoming a
regular guest expert on your blog.
|
Working from Home Experts
|
Affiliate Marketing Experts
|
The list could go on and on, but I think you get the
picture.
|
You invite them to be a guest blogger on your blog,
set them up with their own login information
|
or have them submit their posts directly to you so you
can post them yourself.
|
Give them something in return for their efforts
because most guest bloggers are not paid for their
|
posts Many times a link back to the guest experts’
site and possibly allowing them to promote
|
their own products or affiliates products within their
post is all that’s needed But, with the growth
|
in popularity of guest bloggers, it’s getting a bit
harder to find people who will commit If they’re
|
good at what they do, they will be blogging on other
sites as well as yours. Try to sweeten the pot a
|
little to get them to stick around and continue
posting.
|
Of course, you can pay them to submit information if
you’d like As a matter of fact, I myself have
|
one site where I pay for submissions. I monitor the
submissions and if we decide it is site worthy,
|
we pay the author for the article once it’s been
published I’ve found this helps when it comes to
|
having a steady flow of content.
|
One more thing about guest bloggers you may find
helpful. If you know people who are just
|
starting out they are more open to jumping on as a
guest blogger than established bloggers or
|
business owners However, if you aren’t ranking
extremely high in the search engines, your traffic
|
numbers aren’t all that great or your blog isn’t quite
as popular as you’d like it to be yet, don’t
|
worry. It takes some time to get there, but with the
help of adding all this great content and a few
|
other essentials, you’ll be there before you know
|
Hit the Article Directories
|
Article directories are databases full of articles
that authors have submitted in hopes that others
|
will pick them up and publish them on their websites
and blogs. You can find articles on just about
|
every topic of the sun at these directories.
|
The catch is that you must include the author’s
resource box, which normally contains information
|
about the author and a link to their website, when you
publish it on your own site. They are great
|
sources of information, but read the articles very
carefully to be sure you are getting the content
|
you want for your website You wouldn’t want to place
incorrect information on your blog and
|
mislead your readers after all.
|
Here are some of my most favorite article directories:
|
Free Affiliate Articles (get articles that you can
monetize with affiliate links in the resource
|
Audio and video are growing ever popular online, especially
on blogs. You can publish your own
|
audios and videos or you can link to ones that others
have created.
|
Here are some ideas for creating your own audios and
videos that you can publish on your blog:
|
Interviews with experts in your field
|
Talk radio shows and podcasts
|
Don’t have audio or video creation software? No sweat
– you can easily create short videos on your
|
digital camera and upload them to sites like these:
|
If you’re looking for audio help, have a glance at
these sites
|
As you probably already know, most blogs have what is
known as an RSS feed. This is where, when
|
set up by the blog owner, readers can subscribe to the
feed and be notified of new posts to the blog
|
via email or feed readers If your blog doesn’t have
one, I highly suggest you create one It’s really
|
easy with the help of a site like FeedBurner.com.
|
Just as blogs have feeds, so do news websites such as
CNN, MSNBC, etc. You can have your blog set
|
up to receive feeds from other blogs or websites
automatically. When you do this, your blog will
|
show the posts from the other sites. Your blog is
updated automatically every time a post is added
|
What a great way to have constant content pertaining
to your topic appear on your blog. Great for
|
indexing in the search engines too.
|
Another great way to get content is to ask your
readers to submit questions, suggestions, etc.
|
Their information can be turned into content for your
blog in many ways:
|
– Ask your readers to submit their questions and then
answer them right on your blog.
|
– As you receive questions, add them to a frequently
asked questions page on
|
your site. Each time you update the page, let your
readers know.
|
– If you sell products or provide a service, ask your
customers for their opinions
|
about these things. Sometimes, they will submit
full-fledged reviews and you can publish those on
|
– While these may not be full posts on their own, you
can combine some of them and
|
Newsletters & Emails to Subscribers
|
Do you have an email list? When you send emails to
your subscribers or send out your regular
|
newsletter, do you stop at that? Start posting the
updates you send to your subscribers and your
|
newsletters or ezines to your blog as well.
|
Some of your subscribers may not get a chance to read
your emails before they are shuffled down
|
their inbox screen or worse yet, they may have filters
that are blocking your emails altogether.
|
This will allow them to still receive the valuable
information you have to share AND give you more
|
quality content for your blog.
|
Of course, if you have a list that has sensitive
information that you don’t want the whole world to
|
see, skip on posting those specific messages. One
example of this would be a membership site
|
where you send members a download link each month so
they can access their member’s only
|
information You wouldn’t want just anybody to have the
ability to get that information
|
But, if you’re adding a new product to your business
for instance, go ahead and post the email you
|
send to your past customers on your blog You’ll get
more exposure for your product and added
|
content for your blog It’s a win-win.
|
I have also compiled the above information and many more in an e-book format. You can inbox me to get the direct download link for free straight to your inbox.
