Are you Content Marketing?

Because Content Marketing seem to be

where the action is.

Blogs and social media have dominated the Internet since I arrived 6 years ago and it was through the creation of a lot of Content, I was able to create a positive Marketing environment for my niche products. I believe the Blog Content is King

According to Chris Marentis in a Blog Post on D&B’s All Business Blog:
One SEO boosting technique we’ve found that does make a significant difference in search engine rankings is posting keyword rich, relevant, and recent content.

One company found this to be true by inadvertently testing it on their business. The company already knew that posting this type of content was an important tactic to add to its online marketing arsenal, but until dealing with a sudden and unexpected personnel shift, it didn’t know how much of an impact it really had on search engine rankings.

In August of this year, the company’s SEO report showed them ranking on the first page of Google for the majority of their 20 keywords. However, they dropped to the second and third page of rankings for the month of October. Why?

When looking at what changed, or what they’d done differently, they realized that the only change was the fact that they hadn’t posted the typical 20 – 30 monthly blogs and articles for the month of September because of a lag due to the personnel change.

Well, those of us who manage our own Business Blogs have no excuse really, except a lack of Prioritization of the importance of producing Content for our Business Blogs. If you notice the date of this Blog and the most recent behind it you will see this Blogger has been remiss and his traffic and sales reflected a lovely downward spiral!!

If you are having trouble gathering the time and energy to increase your Content Marketing drop me a line, and I will send you a referral to a young lady who helps me, at an affordable price, with Quality Original Content.

Another consideration for optimizing content is to write some White Paper’s and also produce fresh PDF Content, to be posted on such sites as Scribd.com and Slideshare.com

Article Marketing, in my opinion, has been overstated as far as gaining Quality Prospects to you Company and capturing a solid reader base and the search engines recently have seemed to discount these sites to some degree. Here is some great advice from Karon Thackston

It’s time to stop following the crowd.  Here’s my advice: instead of spending $300 for two dozen crappy articles, spend that money on one fantastic article. Carefully place that piece with websites that can get you in front of people who want your product or service then watch the magic of a quality article marketing campaign do its stuff!

The importance of Quality Content for marketing is even more pronounced in  Business 2 Businesses circumstances. I suggest you grab this PDF by Doug Kessler of Velocity Partners:

Content Marketing Notebook

Asking How Many Blogs Read weekly

was a question posed on

our Facebook Fan Page,

Best Business Mindset Alliance

The survey was prompted by the results of a study by
Hubspot and included in a Power Point Presentation.

Download Presentation Here

and look for graphs regarding Blogging habits

(Need Microsoft PowerPoint or Open Office)

The survey shows these results on How Many Blogs Read Weekly

Our survey at Facebook showed the majority read 5 Blogs or Less Weekly. Ever since reading the statistics from Hubspot and the impact of reading other blogs within my Niche, I have increased my reading regularly about 10-20 Blogs weekly.

This has helped me with Blog content ideas, a deeper understanding of what my Niche Markets are interested in and the opportunity to develop solid relationships with like Minded Business Persons, especially through the comment process.

As mentioned in previous posts, I subscribe to Blogs, usually found through setting up Google Alerts for relevant keywords, and then send them to My iGoogle Page, affording a quick Morning review of “What has Happened” in my areas of interest in the past 24 hours

If you want to Grow your Blog, enjoy traffic and engage others in your Passion, I suggest you up the number of Blogs Read Weekly

And don not forget to Comment on the posts interesting you the most, because You will find more people reading Your Blogs Weekly

Producing Blog Content,

the nemesis of all Bloggers?

Ever hear yourself say, ‘My blog failing”?

“I can’t produce

Quality Blog Content”

I did this weekend.

Could not get going on producing any exciting content for this blog and couple other Niche Blogs in Gardening, Crafting and Business Mindset. I opened each blog dashboard, went to create new post, read my outline and just could not put anything together. Frustration time and a sense of Failure began to creep into my normal Positive personality.

How do I change direction?

Pulled out one of my spiral notebooks on blogging and remembered reading how others solved the problem. Here are Three Steps that stood out and helped me get back on track, and produce some quality Blog Content.

#1 Remember you are not writing War and Peace or any other magnificent Classic Volume

Your readers are looking for information to solve THEIR problems (quickly) and will enjoy clarity, with brevity, more than painstaking proper wordage and long explanations. I am finding blog posts about 200-300 words better received than long dissertation. If you have more to say create more posts on same subject. Obvious benefit there…More fresh content for the search robots

#2 Get Motivated by READING the blogs of others in your Niche.

Your existing subscribers and new readers are arriving at your blog through three main sources, Direct Referral, Search Engines and Backlinks from Referring Sites. If you READ the blog content of others, in your niche, you will naturally become motivated to write a complimentary article (good to refer back). Keep a sharp eye on what key words are being sought through the Search Engines. I personally think TOO much emphasis is focused on KEYWORDsmithing. It seems to stifle the natural writing flow.

I use Google Alerts to keep a steady flow of Quality BLOG content about my favorite Niches and their relevant Keywords, and also start the Day looking at my subscribed Blogs on my iGoogle page, shown below.

Take a little time and READ these blogs and note the syntax and flow, especially on those Blogs with high page ranking. (Leaving relevant comments is VERY much encouraged). Another stimulation might be for you to write a post in contradiction or support of the other Blog Topic.

#3. Be sure to include references to some of those other Quality Blog posts that motivated you!

Taking the time to research other content just deserves some recognition to those who “helped ” release your writer’s block. So you should consider mentioning their article in your post with a hyperlink. You do not want your post to be a Linkfest but choosing one or two links to relevant posts can be very beneficial. Also a good idea to contact the author and let them know you did…

This is a good way to generate comments and develop relationships with like minds.

Well,  here I am, finishing a Blog post because I Unlocked the Writing Block by following my own advice.

We have not spent much

time on this

Business Building Blog

talking about MLM

Marketing Success

MLM Marketing has actually seen

an upsurge during these challenged

economic times and the pool of

mature work force seeking

supplemental or full time income.

A problem that many MLM Marketing
aspirants find when using the Internet
is they Lack a position of Authority and Recognition

We know the public typically chooses to BUY from those they know and trust and the Internet and Social media Tools allow many to gain that recognition quickly IF they are willing to invest Time and Energy and a small bit of capital. I have found one of the “quickest ” and surest way to OWN the Authority and recognition is to Create and Maintain a BLOG.

Experience has shown me that a self-hosted WordPress System has proved most effective.

An eager MLM Marketing developer can create enthusiasm and demonstrate Leadership qualities with a Blog focused on the “How to Build” and updates of the product need and quality. We discussed this concept in detail on our weekly Podcast Talk Show, You Can Build It, Business frrm Scatch

The following are two episodes of those Podcasts on setting up an

MLM Marketing Blog:

June 1, 2011

June 6, 2011

Many of our readers have found a real benefit in setting up one of our Networked Blog systems and enjoy the benefits of troves of Fresh Content through the Network and appreciate the quick high rankings and Search Engine Authority.
An MLM Marketer can benefit from this system and encourage their “associates” to also have a blog within the network and REALLY capture Internet Authority and dominate Search

Is your Blog making money?

Are you enjoying Making Money from

Your Company’s Blogging efforts

Studies are proving that consistent and well planned  Blogging efforts are making money for individuals and companies, globally.

Michael Stelzner of Social Media Examiner surveyed 3300 marketers with the goal of understanding how marketers are using social media to grow and promote their businesses. Much of the findings indicate that well designed Social Media Marketing, including relevant Blogs, have increases the money pipeline for many small and large companies.

****************************************************

A copy of the report can be found on the Free Resource page, here at You Can Build It.

We have emphasized in  previous posts that well designed and maintained Blog can be making money and offer a true sense of reward for the blogger. I personally feel the Blog is the HUB of all Internet marketing success.

The words Inbound Marketing have become part of any savvy marketers vocabulary and the results of Inbound Marketing have been close to spectacular for many. San Francisco based HubSpot Inc. has been providing relevant data to prove the effectiveness of Blog in generating Income.

The Charts below indicates that Blogs (and other forms of Social Media) have proved successful in gaining new customers and sales

Another study shows how important Blogs become in helping a companies acquire new Customers

Of course in order to have your blog be a “Money Magnet” and a Lead Generator there must be traffic, and traffic usually arrives through three sources: Direct referral (e-mail marketing), Search Engines, and Referring sites (pingbacks and backlinks)

I have found my Search Traffic increase after implementing a simple Plugin for WordPress self Hosting systems. It guides each post and page through a process of modifying format and text to be Search Engine Optimized.

Following the guidelines have allowed many of blog posts to enjoy 80% + optimization, yielding good traffic and ultimately, conversion to cash (closing the Sale)

SEOPressor is offered in two versions:

• SEOPressor for single site, One Domain, and lifetime updates for $47.00 one time fee.
• SEOPressor UNLIMITED for multi site license, unlimited Domains, priority support and  Free Installation service (although the system is easy to install)

Seems like there are thousands of “get the job done and make a million” software products on the new. My personal opinion is, if you seriously want to Blog to Generate Money, learn to Optimize and this plugin is a valuable tool. I would seriously consider the SEOPressor Unlimited . You know you wil have more than one site and Domain.

Order YOUR copy Today!

Warning:

I must, again, disclose that should you wisely decide to buy this useful and affordable Plugin, I will be compensated by the creator. Yes, this is a Money making Blog. Amazing that some inexperienced Bureaucrats felt it necessary for me to disclose I will earn a small commission if you decide positive on this Advertisement. I am successfully using the product and feel compelled to share

Blog Content is King.

The prettiest Theme is second place to

Blog Content in importance

of successful Blogging

One of the biggest problems people have with blogging has nothing to do with the lack of traffic coming to their site.
It’s a symptom of something more sinister.

Bad Blog Content.

Even worse then poorly written original content is content that is not original at all. This is the death bell for all blogs that want to be taken seriously.

You HAVE to have unique content. It is the lifeblood of blogging. Every other blog is lacking in original content, you have to be different

The best way to get unique blog content is to write new unique content. This is not very hard, but for some this may be time consuming and they may not want to. The easiest way to get unique content is to combine various free articles and edit them for new articles.

Some great free article directories are:

http://www.articlesbase.com/

www.amazines.com/

www.articlecircle.com/

www.articlecity.com/

Some of these Article directories have VERY stringent requirement of no modification and the inclusion of all of the Author’s Info and links. I have found this a plus and used that type of Article as a Guest Blog.

There’s many more, all you need to do is search for Free Articles in Google, you will get a load of articles. You can search for specific articles such as Free Dog Articles. Once you have a few articles about the same topic you just need to combine it and make it unique

Another major consideration is WHO are you Writing for?

Search Engines or People

Seriously consider writing Content For Readers, rather than Search Engines. Sure, keyword stuffed articles that make no sense will probably send traffic your way, but it’s not realistic traffic, and when those people realize that you actually have nothing to say, they’ll be gone as quickly as they arrived…….

You may like to read: Human vs. Search Engines: Striking A Balance

If you are looking for a growing readership that will subscribe and spend time you need to write to them. Be your self and you will attract the type of reader you want.

Because Blog content is so critical to for continued quality Traffic, we are offering a minimum of ONE quality Unique post each week for our Networked Blog Subscribers.

When I first arrived on the Internet

about six years ago, I was

bombarded with Programs Systems

and Schemes to make millions

Affiliate Marketing.

There were, and still are, hard working

marketers making fortunes through

AffiliateMarketing,

but what most fail to share is

HOW TO grab the AUTHORITY to have

your ads and, links clicked

So many aspiring Internet business persons paid many dollars for the E-books, systems and Webinars, supposedly showing the way to riches. But seems most find themselves backwards financially for Affiliate Marketing or at best a meager profit, far cry from the millions touted by the 19 year old who went from eating Ketchup to 6 figure income “overnight”.

What was Missing was the exhaustive TIME and Energy spent acquiring Internet Real Estate and AUTHORITY.

It is my humble opinion the way to gain the Internet Real Estate and Authority is through a BLOG Marketing Strategy. Well planned and content added consistently, the Blog can offer exposure to the Niche you are passionate about, increase traffic to the Blog and your main site, and with the use of Pages, grow a huge list, generate sales through Affiliate Ads, and generate income from the sale of ADS.

Want to capitalize on Affiliate Marketing through Blogging?

Our Networked Blog Association is proving to many HOW TO use the  affordable Niche directed Blog to generate Traffic and establish Internet Authority.

Many of our Niches are Keyword rich, grabbing those looking for New and useful Products. One that comes to mind is newatmysite.com, It climbed to a 400,000 Alexa Rank in a matter of weeks and  the Blogger, Jeff Beeman has enjoyed Affiliate Marketing Income.

The Networked Blog Association provides a SEO powerful WordPress Hosted Platform, loaded with Premium Plugins and minimum, one professionally written Post per week on Topic. Is this an Automated System…?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Like any other business task, it needs an investment of Time and Energy, along with a modest Capital outlay. Applying these systems will soon generate positive Cash Flow through Affiliate Marketing  sales of the Blog System and the affiliate products reviewed and placed in Rotating ads.

You will enjoy reading some of the bloggers experiences on our Facebook Fan page Discussion section.

Blogging Effort offers Power

Did you know that people of all walks of  life are generating an online income in their blog postings ?

If your answer is maybe or no than you have let the Network Blogging Cruise pass you by.

We did the research, We tested the system and in less than 3 weeks we put this blog on the front page of Google and within 4 weeks created an Alexa ranking of less than 1/2 million!

Incredible numbers and we want to share it with you

Knowledge is powerful and we have  proof of that knowledge.

Yes, it is important to take your niche on blogging to heart and keep it as not just your passion, but use it as a tool; that will deliver products and services that makes your readers want to come back for more . You can use it as a business without having to get a bank loan for start-up costs.

Remember that everyone on this planet is in need of something,  and whatever your passion is, you are not the only one that has it.   Also remember that people buy from people .  Example of that in my mind is when I bought my first home. I danced with many Realtors, After a few weeks I narrowed it down to one,  then we went to work finding my home.  After owning my house for 25 years, the first person I called to sell it was my original Realtor.

Why?

Because we had the same likes. We had similar dislikes and the most important thing is we connected and Humans beings not as dollar signs.

Blogging is the vehicle to establish relationships with Like minded people, interested in the same Niche, enjoying the same Hobby, Sport or Business Practice

That’s what you will do with your Blogging. Talk about you and your likes and dislikes . IT IS A REFLECTION OF YOU !!!

Placing relevant to topic monetizing links on your blog giving your readers the benefits of getting all they need from you .

Also one of the great thing about talking about your passion and delivering the information your readers are looking for is that you can make a living at it no matter what it is .

People make money selling manure . and make money selling paper . some make money selling information on how to grow plants in a small location and others just delivering the information on their passion of riding horse’s did you ever think that someone would write a blog on cutting Grass ? Rick the Grass Man does.

The importance of blogging for profit is that you have unique content added on a regular basis and people look at that as being drudgery therefore they have ended their success before it began.

We don’t believe in failure or wasted time, and therefore created the network blog system that will add content to your blog, weekly or daily depending on your needs .

We do this because we know that everyone deserves time to think and do research on their personal blog and sometimes adding to you blog every week can become a challenge especially when the challenges of life get in the way, or as I call it “The Mud of Life “ as in the kids need something, the car has a flat, maybe you need to spend time with a sick friend, nevertheless it takes away from your passion.

We want you to have the best advantage of building your success story . so we hire professional writers to add content for you, BUT THAT DOES NOT ABSOLVE YOU FROM ADDING POSTS (to assure your success).

In doing this your blog never goes dormant and you have the time to get the information needed to make MONEY in your posting. Searching for products to add to your blog page that your readers are looking for.

Just think about it . You have your special monthly newsletter that you better have on your blog for surfers to sign-up for

After 1 year your potential subscription base is 300 people that like what you have to say. You find a product that can better their live and 20 of them buy it from you. you earn  $3.00 per sale that’s $180.00 for just adding to your interests and supplying your readers with what THEY are looking for .

Now lets grow our Blog business with an attraction rate of 30% annually that means that in 3 years you now have 507  members and in 5 years you have 856 members to sell to . If your doing things correctly we will have made over 260 posts for you,keeping your blog active and you will be making posts maybe You will have added  over 700 products to you blog and could potential earn a nice living for doing what you love .

Get involved in life. Talk to like minded people about your passion and deliver information that can better their life .

Is Blogging worth the effort?

We get a lot of callers on our Business Development Talk Show who express frustration about setting up and growing successful Blog and feel Blogging is really a chore. There are many sites that offer the Answer to Blogging Problems,  How to Set up a Successful Blog,  Making a Gazillion Dollars Blogging and so on…

BUT, why do so many leave out the Important Information?

Blogging is time intensive and to generate the Traffic, Design and Proper use of Premium Plugins is essential. The serious blogger must have the Mindset that blogging is part of their regular Mundane routine.

However if you are blogging about a Passion, if you have unquestioned FAITH about your business the routine is NOT MUNDANE.

Sounds easy, but many new Internet Marketers are growing their Businesses Part-time and are juggling Family, Outside Work,  spending Time Learning the “Ropes”  and find it difficult to consistently maintain their Blog with quality Content.

Well….. Mark Hultgren (aka MKWeb) and his associates at Best Business Mindset have introduced a simple membership, providing a SEO rich, WordPress Networked Blog System, through the creative  energy found at Gain sales matters.

What are the advantages of a system like this?

They provide you with:

• Preloaded with Banners and Advertising

• Free Traffic from our Membership

• ALL the Setup and Configuration

• Automatic Posting of the Content

• Unique Content for Your Blog (minimum One professionally written post a week with Unique Content to your Niche)
  

• A Networking System to Help You Build Your Contacts
  

• Cutting Edge Plugins to make managing the parts you DO decide you want to do even easier
  

Make the choice to put some FAITH in yourself that you CAN Build Your Own Business  with a little help from others.

The cost of this system is VERY affordable and offers a real value.  This concept was well presented in Mandee Widrick’s Recent Blog Post

Another key factor in making your decision is knowing  YOU keep all revenue from the Blog,  Adsense, Paid advertising, direct sale of Products.

There are currently 13 domains each with their Network and more being added upon suggestions for exciting niches

OH, OH Here come the Warning!
The author of this Blog is a member of the Joint Venture and should you decide to take advantage of this outstanding product, we stand to make a few dollars after expenses of Hosting and amortized cost of the Premium Pplugins and the time spent in Customer Service

There are a huge number of ideas to make money online and blogging is one of the most popular. According to surveys, there are more than 200,000,000 blogs on the internet. More and more people are getting into blogging, not only to unleash their creativity, but also to make money. With such large numbers, how do you direct traffic to your blog or website?

It is important for every blogger to understand the different techniques and strategies to direct or attract more people to visit their blogs. For those bloggers who are selling online products and services, more visits mean more potential customers. And more potential customers can lead to bigger sales and profits. If you are a beginner, then there are some easy ways that you could do this. There are some great Plugins available if you use WordPress for your Blog to make it even easier to gain sales from your visitors.

Social Networking sites

According to the 2009 U.S. Digital Year in Review, about 11% of the time a person would spend online would be for visiting and checking social networking sites and accounts. Overall, Nielsen noted that 110 billion minutes are spent on social networking sites, worldwide. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Tagged, Hi5, My Yearbook and Bebo are among the top social networking sites. I also have seen results from two NEW Social Media Sites,  Kooii.com and IM Faceplate.com
Never underestimate your membership in these social networking sites. If you have a lot of friends or contacts, then you could start promoting your blog or website. You could also set-up a separate group page or account for your online business in these sites, this would help you maintain contact with customers who have accounts in these sites. You could send them updates whenever you have new products or services to offer.

Guest blogging.

The best way to promote your own website or blog is writing for other people/ blogs. You could try being a guest blogger for one of the most popular blogs in your niche. If your article gets accepted in the blog you are targeting, then make sure to include your website’s URL.

Be visible.

Comment on blogs in your own niche. Just because you are writing about the same topic, you consider them tough competition. Be part of your community. If you are a beginner, then you would learn a lot from them.
Aside from being visible in your own niche, be visible in forums. In forums, you get to promote, learn and at the same time pick-up new ideas. Contribute information and promote your website, always paste your website’s URL in forums that you visit or make sure that it is already included in your signature.

Be part of a directory.

There are some websites where you could include or submit your website for free. This would help improve your link ratings and some free traffic. Having your website included in these free directories would get you visitors, however, do not expect a large number pouring in just because you’re linked with the directory. But it would surely help your blog to have a higher ranking in search engines.
Also, one of the best marketing ideas to promote your blog to make money online, is by word of mouth. Ask friends and relatives to promote your blog or website. But before you ask them to spread the word, make sure to ask them if they have any feed backs and how you could improve your website. Even the best and top blogs/ websites still have room for improvement.

Another way to Optimize your Blogging efforts is be part of a Networked Blog Association. See what this powerful system has to offer for so little.
