Make Money

Posted by Isaac | Blogging Tips | Sunday 28 June 2009 10:31 pm

The key is to Determine what you want out of your blog, do you want to make money, promote your website or business, or just fun.

Then set a schedule and budget for the amount of time or money you have to devote to the blog.  Do you have five hours a week and no more?  Do you have six hours this week, three next week, and 40 the week after that?

Try to determine what percentage of your free time you are willing to give over to your blog business and stick to that number.

Also, determining how much time you have to give to your blog can impact your content blend.  Naturally, full-time bloggers have more time to carefully research and thoughtfully create unique posts each and every day.

Some even do postings several times a day.  As a part time blogger, you can’t reasonably expect to do that.

Happy Canada day to my fellow Canadians


Blog Content

Managing the pressure of keeping a good content blend and active blog posting schedule is one of the key things you will need to do as you grow your blog.

Approach content management thoughtfully.  Many bloggers start out only intending to put up a few posts in their spare time.  Like you, they want to devote a few hours a week to this project.  Unfortunately, they allow the blog to take over their life.

A well-managed blog with good content doesn’t need to be a part-time job.

A well-managed blog with good content doesn’t need to be a part-time job.  The key is to set a schedule or fixed budget for the amount of time you have to devote to the blog.

Do you have five hours a week and no more?  Do you have six hours this week, three next week, and 40 the week after that?  Try to determine what percentage of your free time you are willing to give over to your blog business and stick to that number.


Writing Your Own vs. Article Directories

Continued from last Post:
You need to carefully blend the articles you pull in from Article Directories or other blogs with your own unique posts.  This is the optimal solution to blog content—enough unique posts that readers know you and your personality, and enough outside content to add perspective and variety to your niche.
Mixing will also allow you to periodically take breaks from writing—you can spend one afternoon finding 10 – 15 articles from another blog or article directory that you would like to include in your blog over the next month.
Write up some reactions to the articles in advance, and you can then have the content ready to go when you need it.
This can give you time off from the burden of constantly producing for the blog.

And speaking of time off,

If need some time off and you have your articles prepared in advance why not install a submission software like AutoBlogFeeder it’ll submit your articles automatically for a month, or even a year.

Happy blogging


Writing Your Own Articles vs. Using Article Directories

Posted by Isaac | Blogging Tips | Thursday 18 June 2009 11:15 pm
If you only use content that you have written yourself, then while the blog is all you, all the time, your readers may not be getting a full picture of your niche.  As a result of being confined to one perspective, they may become unhappy with your blog and quit coming back.  This is not fair to you—you are putting a lot of effort into that content, so you deserve happy readers who visit often!

However, only using content that you have found from other authors also presents problems.  One is that when you only use other people’s words, you have no unique personality or viewpoint of your own in the eyes of your viewers.  They will not find you very interesting or value your blog as a unique source of information—after all, those articles are free to all takers.

Even worse, those same readers will have no loyalty to you, because they have no sense of your personality.  You may be surprised at how important a personal connection with your readers can be when you are trying to make a successful blog.  Marketing gurus like to talk about the concept of “personal brand management” and it can be very important in the blogosphere.  Essentially, your blog becomes an extension of your personality.  Therefore, you want to use content to show readers who you are and how you think, even if that content came from an article directory.
