Effective Blogging Secrets Revealed!

Hi everyone!

“Blogging is a conversation, not a code.” – Mike Butcher.

I believe this is true. There should be a connection. Sadly, a lot of bloggers ignore this crucial key point! All they want is to let out their opinion and blabber without really connecting with their readers.

bloggingAn effective communication contains two key components – speaker and the listener. The same holds true in the “blogsphere.” Unless the speaker (blogger) can effectively convey his idea, then there’s what we call a failure of communication.

Imagine this, you are the blogger, how will you cook up a blog that will perk the interest of your readers? Give that thought some precious seconds to sink in. If still unsure, let me offer these tips:

Blogging Tips

Compose Head Turning Headlinesheadlines

Your headline is your readers first contact point with you. How well you craft this will determine
if you’ll turn a prospect into a follower. Always right a compelling one. Usually readers only want to know what they can get from you. Address that properly and you’ll get their attention. Make sense? Read on.

Start with a Strong First Statement

strongA strong opening statement will definitely add to the effectiveness of your blog, no doubt about it, so it’s pertinent that you take some considerable amount of time thinking of a killer statement. Take this approach along with your compelling headline as a one-two punch combination.

Readers can’t resist this approach. It’s the lure and the bait.

Learn how you can draw up a compelling headline and then boost it up further by giving it a killer opening statement. This can take a while, but with constant practice, you’ll get it eventually.

Use Powerful Words

According to the modern English language, words are not created equal. Some are more powerful than the others. Use these words to your advantage. Sprinkle your article with these powerful words. Some example are – you, free, new, because and instantly. Have you used these words lately in your posts?

Nothing beats a killer sentence!one day

“Sentences are the engines of creativity. “– Demian Farnworth. Nothing is truer than that fact. Take this sentence for example “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” See how instantly it painted a scene in your head? Killer sentence evokes emotion. It also creates an image in your mind. Lastly, always address the 5W’s, who, what, where, when and why. In short, be factual too!

Be Authentic

originalYou are a unique creature. You have your way of structuring sentences that instantly inform readers that it’s you that they’re reading. Use this uniqueness to your advantage.

You see, the problem with today’s budding bloggers is that they want to be the next big Matt Marshall or any of those big name bloggers.

While it can help to have someone to look up to and imitate, in the long run you need to discover who you are.

Hi there!

Blogging can sometimes be cumbersome, especially at some point when you run out of steam, which eventually you will. Trust me, it will happen, even to the best of them. So what will you blog about when this occurs?

Do you have any contingency plan?

sweatingIt always pays to have a backup plan ready for any eventualities, and running out of ideas is something that you really need to watch out for.

Here are some fresh ideas you can pick upon and incorporate in your blogging approach.

Blogging Tips

Blog about News Eventsnews events

Being a business owner entails that you be abreast with the latest news and trends about the industry. You can put this advantage to good use by blogging about what is upcoming and new.

This gives you the opportunity to be a resource person and you can even give your insight about the news event to your readers.

Keep a Keen Sight on Google Trends and Twitter

google trendsObserve what leaders in the industry are referring to or that have a huge number of interest and write about that (knowing that if it’s an appropriate subject like the World Cup, your material won’t possibly rank or likely ever be seen before the attention drops).

Volume wise, you’ll be blogging to entice guests and in case of authorities chatting, you’ll likely be blogging mainly for links so it will have to be more reliable.

Write about changes in the industry, product and services launches, etc.

For example, while an upgrade to Google Chrome may not straightly affect our approach to SEO, it’s relevant by its effect on our website visitors, so it is definitely a topic worth blogging about.product launch

While this might sound a bit cloudy and uncertain, every upgrade that chrome does will definitely have an effect on our approach to online marketing or even to SEO at times. (Algorithms anyone?)

Product and services launches are great topics to blog about, even if these are from your competitors, why? It will absolutely give you the advantage of knowing where your position is as with regards to your competitors.

Blogging about this topic will give your readers insight about (clears throat) how well you can address the competition without sounding all sour and insecure about the whole thing, which if done properly, I believe will result in better audience confidence in you!

There you go, I hope you can incorporate this tip in your blogging approach.

Online Marketing

 online marketingThere are thousands of different methods to do this.  I’ve seen marketing websites that are designed toward a particular item classification with affiliated links to the provider.

One of the most well-known methods individuals started as an online marketer is to be a part of Amazon’s affiliate system.

You can choose the items right off of Amazon’s site and they make a link and some system code for you to duplicate in your web page.

Starting is simple, but like writing a blog, making a system of individuals that want to come to see what you have to provide is where the work is.  Once you get there you can generate some of that residual income.

Do you have Recurring Income?

Hi there!

Let me get this question out right away “do you have recurring income?” if the answer is “yes”, good for you, definitely you are experiencing the benefits and advantages of having one.

However if “no” is the answer, well now is the time to start one. Recurring income is defined as an earning that keeps coming at a regular interval even after the work has been long gone. It also does not need your immediate participation.

residual income

Some types of recurring income you may be acquainted with consist of having property, royalties on a creative or innovative work, and multilevel marketing.

If you want to earn more, work less, and have a reasonable pension, you’re going to have to begin developing earnings sources that do not need your immediate participation.

Whether you’re just setting up your business, or you’ve been working at it for a while, the earlier you begin considering how you are going to move your company structure to make more recurring income, the earlier you can accomplish personal and financial independence.

residual income 2

Let’s look at two primary types of recurring income, and a third type of earnings that, while officially not recurring, is a key way of making more and working less.

Types of Recurring Income

Residual Income

residual income 3Residual earnings is income that happens eventually from work done once. Some illustrations include:

  • An insurance broker who gets percentage every year when a client renews his policy.
  • A network marketer or multilevel marketing rep’s earnings from her immediate customers when they reorder product every month.
  • An aerobic exercise trainer who produces an exercise video and offers it at the fitness center where she teaches.

Leverage Income

leverage incomeLeverage earnings controls the work of other individuals to make earnings for you. Some illustrations of leveraged earnings include:

  • An e-book writer promoting her e-book through associates who enhance the product
  • A system professional who develops a system and gets income on the product sales made by individuals in his down line.
  • A contractor who makes a benefit edge on the work done by sub-contractors
  • Franchising your business to other business owners (the best leverage income)

Active Leverage Income

This is a phrase I use to explain earnings that needs your immediate contribution, but that you can earn more cash by having more individuals engaged. This usually includes a one-time occasion, such as:

  • A seminar or class
  • A convention or conference
  • Concerts and dancing recitals
  • Raves and other parties

Now is the time to think about how to implement this in your business. Can you create an item that individuals will buy over and over again? Can you interact with others to offer your product? How could you generate income off the work of others?

The earlier you answer these concerns, the earlier you’ll have economic and individual independence.

How to Write Your Social Media Marketing Plan

2 Replies

Hi there!

Making your very own social media marketing plan entails more than just creating your Facebook or any other social networking site page active online.

Truthfully speaking, you need to really sit down and plan how you are going to go about the whole marketing plan from top to bottom.

You need, early in the process, to identify your target market or focus group, your brand image, and you need to come up with best strategy to connect with these clients as well.

marketing plan

Nowadays with the advent of the internet, being “connected” might actually spell the BIG difference between succeeding or failing in this business.

Social media marketing is about engaging your readers to respond. You do this by creating interesting content that your readers or focus market will find helpful, intriguing (at times), controversial or simply informative.

In my ongoing effort to help you set up your own social media marketing plan, I’ve listed an easy and executable course of action that you can do.

Social Media Marketing Plan

Set up Your Business Website and Blog

It’s of extreme importance that you set up your business website and start filling it with awesome content. This is essentially setting up your brand and image online.

build social media

Pay attention to the overall aesthetic or appearance of your site as well as this is a major indicator of “who you are” online. This is a key step in developing a social media marketing plan online.

Create both a Personal and Professional Social Media Pages

Having both a personal as well as a professional social media profile will guarantee that you are not simply a spammer but is a legitimate online entity.

Having a personal profile online through Facebook or other social networking site will connect you with people you know, while having a professional profile will connect you with your target market.

profile

It’s a win-win approach as you can refer people to your professional page and eventually build a long lasting connection that is way beyond just mere business.

Link Your Blogs to Your Social Media Pages

Linking articles or contents of value to your social media pages is actually setting up your social media marketing plan already. But don’t just use links, engage your readers by asking pertinent questions or even by doing an introductory sentence to arouse their interest.

link

BUT as a word of precaution, don’t turn people off by just posting links that are ALWAYS business related, you should vary the approach by posting interesting or informative links as well that will benefit your readers.

Know your Tribe and Audience

Notice the terms “audience” instead of “customer.” Your audience might simply enjoy your way of writing, and the subjects you choose to talk about.

A tribe – one of the more recent public networking hype terms – is a group of people who discuss identical passions and interests.

social media

Neither your tribe nor your audience might not start out as prospective customers, but they might have buddies who require your solutions.

If, later on, they do need your product or solutions, they will be more likely to turn to someone they know.

Social Media Marketing anyone?

Hi there!

There’s currently a new trend that is the toast of the town lately and it being utilized to the fullest by online marketers, it’s called Social media marketing or (SMM).

This marketing technique uses social marketing sites such as Facebook or Twitter and many others as an avenue for its marketing campaign.

social media marketing image 1

The goal of SMM is to produce content that users will share with their online community to help an organization increase brand visibility and extend client reach.

Social Media Marketing Elements

SMO

One of the key elements of SMM is Social Media Optimization (SMO). Like search engine optimization (SEO), SMO is a strategy for illustrating new and unique visitors to a website.

SMO can be done two ways: including social media links to written content, such as RSS feeds and sharing buttons — or advertising activity through social media by upgrading statuses or tweets posts, or blog posts.

media marketing

SMM helps a business get direct reviews from clients (and potential customers) while making the company seem more friendly.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

The entertaining parts of social media give clients the opportunity to ask questions or talk problems and feel they are being heard. This aspect of SMM is called social customer relationship management.  (Social CRM).

SMM became more common with the increased popularity of social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook or mySpace, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

social media marketing two

In relation to this, the Federal Trade Percentage (FTC) has modified its guidelines to include SMM.

If an organization or its marketing agency provides a blog writer or other internet commenter with free products or other rewards to generate positive hype for a product, the internet feedback will be handled lawfully as recommendations.

Both the blogger and the organization will be attributed for guaranteeing that the rewards are clearly and plainly revealed, and that the blogger’s material contain no deceiving or unverified claims and otherwise is in accordance with the FTC’s guidelines concerning unjust or deceptive marketing.

If you haven’t used social media marketing as another possible effective approach to get the word out on your business, then why not give it a spin and see where it leads you.

Thinking Outside the Business Box

Hey everyone!

How can you come up with fresh ideas to spice up your online marketing approach? If you’re on the lookout, here are three guidelines that can help you come up with unique ways to come up with idas that can help you achieve your business goals:

fresh ideas

Online Marketing Approach

Set parameters to focus your ideas

parametersSurprisingly, too much freedom can restrict your creativeness. Setting parameters help your mind function, giving your ideas more detail and depth.

Don’t fall into the trap of staring off really broad, trim down your ideas into the most essential and work from there.

What you can do is when you brainstorm, ask particular concerns to help you focus. For example, if you’re looking for new social media marketing techniques, list ten things you could do on Facebook or mySpace or five ideas that include crowdsourcing.

Look for unique motivation

uniqueTo think outside the box, you need to induce the mind to create relationships it normally would not associate with.

To do that, look for inspiration that seems entirely irrelevant to the problem.

Nine times out of 10, the ideas individuals are thrilled about are produced by the outrageous random prompt.

 To find these one offs, look at well-known images on Pinterest and/or trending terms on Tweeter, or just click ‘Lucky’ in Google search box.

Aim for quantity, not quality

qualityWhile you’re generating concepts, turn off your inner editor.

Try to exhaust your good ideas and begin tossing out recommendations that seem outrageous or incorrect.

Keep in mind, you can always create a bad idea better after the fact.

Speed and friendly competition help individuals produce ideas without prejudice. I once read an account about how a research and development team head decided to place crisp $100s in the middle of a desk and informed his group they could take one every time they throw in an idea. “In 15 minutes, we came up with 100 ideas,” he said. “50 of them were really exciting.”

Thinking outside the normal “box” will definitely yield results that may very well surprise you, but the good thing is, these ideas are going to be unique and can produce the desired result!

Online Marketing Pitfalls You MUST Avoid

Leave a reply

Hi there!

If you’re not pleased with your online marketing results—or you’re considering starting on a new plan—here are some typical errors to look at out for.

marketing error

Online marketing pitfalls

Not Focusing Enough

focus marketingDon’t “throw spaghetti against the wall” when you’re just starting out with your strategy.

Many new business owners think this strategy will lessen risk, but it’s usually an error because you probably don’t have the proper resources to perform well on several areas.

Consequently, you’ll just end up with a big blunder. Instead, evaluate your choices and choose one.

If that one doesn’t work, try the next one, and then the next one. Once you get something working, put everything you’ve got into it, that’s how you gain momentum.

Not enough variety

marketing vARIETYThe next big error is to put all of your eggs in one basket. Lack of variety can be terrible.

For example, if you’re relying entire on the current SEO trend for all of your visitors and clients, you could go out of business over night when Search engines comes out their next criteria upgrade.

You can prevent that scenario by expanding.

However, this stage is critical. The perfect time to broaden your variety is when you already have something working.

Why?

The toughest thing to do is get something moving, but it requires a lesser amount of resources to keep it moving.

Remember: Focus first, then broaden.

Not monitoring outcomes

monitoringOf all the errors you can make, the greatest is not monitoring your ROI from your various marketing initiatives.

If you’re not monitoring, you’re traveling blind—and this will harm you regardless of whether your online techniques will continue to work or not.

If you’re dropping profits in certain places, you won’t know how to stop it if there’s no monitoring. And if your promotion is working, then you don’t know where to reinvest for highest possible development.

As David Wanamaker popularly said, “Half the cash I invest on marketing is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half.” Luckily, with today’s technological innovation, monitoring your ROI is simpler than ever.

 Not following up

 follow up marketingMany your visitors aren’t prepared to buy from you.

A typical visitor-to-customer rate of conversion is 1 %, which indicates that 99 out of 100 visitors land on your web page and then leave, never to come back.

If you don’t have some plan of following up with your guests, you’re losing revenue every day.

One choice to rectify this unavoidable hole in your bucket is to provide something attractive in exchange for your prospect’s personal contact details, and then follow to up via e-mail.

Not Testing

not testingIf you’re not testing regularly, you’re leaving money on the table.

Try applying A/B assessments on your web page, where you display one concept to 50 % of your guests, and another concept to the other 50 percent.

If you can improve your web page transformation amount by 25 %, you can improve your revenue without improving your advertising price range.

Keep in mind, there’s no such thing as perfection. You can always defeat the control.

So there you go, if you can remember to apply this valuable information in your online marketing, I bet you can improve the way you do things online.
