Blogging is an old and tested marketing strategy.
Recently I went through the MLM traffic formula course from Mike Dillard and the base of their teaching is about creating a blog in which they call their "nerve centre".
In the course this is the centre of your business, the home base of operations which you want to turn into a lead converting machine.
A lot of people try Blogging for Money and fail or give in, but like any marketing strategy you have to stick to it and work on it until it starts to produce results.
The reason most people fail at blogging is that they start out with unrealistic expectations and are impatient.
Often blogging taken 3-5 months to rank a website even if you're doing everything right, Even if they do everything in their blog right, they may lack the SEO skills needed to rank on Google or they might not be providing enough valuable information.
So if I was to start blogging, what are the Key factors of creating a successful blog? First of all you want a blog that stands out.
You want something that has some aspect that makes people remember your blog.
This isn't a must, but it's helpful.
Just don't let your blog get too cluttered.
You want a mobile responsive theme.
A lot of people search the web on their phones so having a website that's responsive to mobile phones is a must! You want a content driven site.
By that I mean that content must be king.
You lead your blog with valuable and helpful content.
Google loves content, and so do people! Why would someone go or stay on a site that has no useful information or purpose? You want your Blog to be a Niche.
By that I mean if your blog is about dogs, but then you start blogging about sports, then your kids, then the best tips on how to brave the Sahara desert, your blog is not a Niche.
You should pick a niche and then niche down e.
g.
your blogs about dogs you also write about breeds of dogs, then colour dogs and rare breeds of dogs.
You're finding sub niches within that niche.
If you're planning on having traffic or creating an income from your online business through blogging you need a strategic plan in place so you know how you're going to get what you need to do.
Figure out what your site is about and what niche you're going to be writing about.
Once you know your Niche another helpful thing you can do is market research.
If you don't know what your target market's problems are or the questions they need answering are, how are you going to solve them? After all that's what your content should be doing Your content should be ending another internet users search When you do this, from a marketing stand point, you're placing hooks in the ocean.
When someone bites they end up in your website.
If you have an opt-in with an enticing offer, you might just get a lead.
If you go back to my post on the online business strategy you'll remember that your online network marketing business consists of: 1.
Making a list 2.
Creating a relationship with the people in that list 3.
Marketing to the people in the list And this is the heart of your internet business.
There are many strategies to do this, but a blog with valuable niche specific content and an opt-in form is one way that you can build that list.
And that's my article on Blogging for Money.
