CONTROL BEFORE YOU RUN OUT OF POSTS FOR YOUR BLOG

Its a great thing to have good amount of readers coming to your blog regularly after some time.But there is no point in attracting large crowd for sometime and then becoming reader less again.Have you ever thought about this many new bloggers attempt this gimmick and then end up getting to the darker side of the tunnel.

I want to highlight the issue of many bloggers starting the series like"101 ways to......" kind of stuff to get readers to their blog immediately.this may help them short term but they will ultimately lose out the battle once readers become irritated and do not get what they want and simply some say that the writer has completely lost it.Also the writer tries to write and cover so much that when he wants to start fresh on new topics he feels that he has nothing left as new to write .This is when the decline of a blog starts and then finally the blogger almost loses it completely.

So control yourself and please do not try to copy what others do to attract immediate attention and lose it in the long run.Be smart and keep the posts rolling in regularly.

RANDOM VS PLANNED BLOGGING

Blogging can be quiet a fun when it comes to describing your personal experiences and memories in form of words with no one to hear in front of you.The confidence level is generally much more while writing than narrating the same incident and usually you can make up for the shortcomings in your language and expressions that might not be possible in person. OK all this crap is aside and we are here to discuss another good issue on blogging whats called the Random vs planned blogging.

Random vs Planned ?

Hey its always good if you can get good enough ideas on the spot and can amuse people with your stuff or can create awesome content on the spot for writing the blog post.Such random thing is what excites me and if you have read my posts you will find that I do it all randomly so that readers also do not get bored.But what about readers who came to read specific content from your previous posts which you were posting and suddenly you stopped that and started to write on something other.That just irritates your readers and they do not feel like coming to your blog because you didn't had the content they wanted from you at that moment of time.think about it.Randomness is always OK to create freshness for your blog but then you cannot figure out planned things.

I would rather put it this way that once you started to think about something that is really hot in the Internet and you wanted to have a piece of that on your blog as well then try to write entirely on that topic covering all good points and the not so good points in depth and in flow so that the readers who are waiting to read the required content will not feel disappointed.This is what a planned blogging is.

While if you see the other way round then maybe if your blog is not so much popular and you do not have many readers to your blog and want them to have a look at your blog then may be try and publish the articles on your site which are really damn good and the hot topic over the week.Keep changing the topics after a week so that the freshness is maintained and you have different type of readers attracted to your blog.

So what type of blogging style do you prefer? Do you think out of the box and try have good amount of posts ready well in advance or are you the instant writing person? Keep those comments flowing in so that all can benefit.

HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL PAID BLOG POST WRITER.

Wham! I have seen many writers wanting to earn money through paid blog post apply for every topic that is available even if they do not have any sort of idea for that topic.The following few crucial note points might just help you out to be a better paid post writer and in a way bring more opportunities for your blog.

1.Be active

Try and be quick to grab opportunities available which are of your interest or on which you have written much previously since there are many writers available on the Internet and you might just miss out a good one.But do not rush into something that you do not know very well or else you might end up writing a low grade content your future opportunities from that site might take a backseat.

2.Be disciplined and follow instructions

Try and understand the need of the advertiser who wants to write a site or product review or a promotional post on your blog.Try to use good, catchy and simple language without grammatical errors to avoid any rejection from the advertiser as nobody likes to get his hard work rejected from someone.Also try to put the specified links in a manner that it is in the highlighted portion of your post and easily seen.I guess this the best way to get a post accepted quickly from the advertiser.

3.Sell yourself better

I have seen many people apply for the paid post sites with not so good content at their homepage and the archive link that they give.Please understand that you are selling your talent to the others and hence if you really want to have a better rate of having your site accepted and having a good inflow of paid reviews then the quality of your post as well as the language has to spot on and extremely good.

4.Be to the point

Most advertisers want you to have a post written in about 200 words.I have seen many writers start of in weird fashion writing stuff that they should not in the starting paragraph.once you do this it kills the interest and advertiser most probably rejects your post.Please formulate a pattern and then start writing the post so that the flow is there and you end up having a good quality content for the advertiser and it will in turn help you get more opportunities in the future from the same advertiser.

5.Be different

Its your ability that would make you stand out from the rest of others who are also there in the race.By following above points you will improve but it is also the job of a person to elevate himself and his blog above the level so that he stands out from the rest in the crowd and demands instant attention.

BE CAREFUL BEFORE MOVING YOUR BLOG OVER NEW DOMAIN

A common pattern is seen over the Internet by me that those bloggers who start churning out some good money look to transfer their blog from free domain to their own.Something that all of you who are thinking to move away from free or the original domain should keep in mind the fact that though your current blog may not offer you the entire features that you want to be displayed on your blog but still it is the place where people till now have com to read your content.

Also by changing the domain you will end up losing the pagerank as well as the web ranking for the blog that you originally had it for your blog.Its then again a hard work to get the blog up and running again and getting good traffic to your site.Most of the times , the change of domain name usually backfires and spoils all your hard work.

So what are you going to do if such thing occurs with you and you lose all your search engine stats.To avoid such a dreadful state you may follow following steps:

1.Stick to your own domain

If you believe me I would seriously advise you to stick with what you are right now.Many big bloggers have understood this fact and sticking to free domain with which they have started like blogger,wordpress or typepad.If you still do not feel like having a free domain then you can purchase a domain with same name or redirect that your original blog.Its as simple as it is.

2.Follow the 301 redirection address to every page from your new blog

This is a good method that allows even the Google bot to track your pages with the 301 redirection address.Although a week delay occurs but the crawling of your pages and their indexing takes place and you might end up having all the pages indexed in about three months.

Hope you would have liked the suggestion here.Any new tips are eagerly awaited.

2010 IS THE YEAR FOR MAKING MONEY ONLINE

As compared to the previous year of 2009 which was a complete disaster for many ,2010 has come as a blessing in disguise.I am going to provide some more light on the opportunities that you might already know about making money online.

As you all might know that any blogger who wants to earn money online should concentrate on generating his online income through multiple sources so as to if anyone or some fail someday then other still keep pouring in.Also it is worth while mentioning that new bloggers and also bloggers who have been there for few months immediately do not start generating income instantly.Its a hard work you require to be put in for about attest an year and a half or so to promote your blog to every place that you can to attract readers worldwide.

Its amazing to see that this year has been the year where people are earning at least 10 % more than what they normally used to .Although Google AdSense has declined many bloggers worldwide but still the other ad companies have opened their arms for new publishers and have helped everyone in generating income even though meagre but still yes people have started earning.Following are the main Income streams that one might look at

1.Advertisement sites.

As I said earlier that Google adsense might have rejected many but other ad companies like Chitika,Bidvertiser,Nuffnang Ads(in the east and Australia) are the other giants helping out bloggers to add the revenue aspect to their blog readership.Also not forgetting to mention Adgitize another good place for bloggers and publishers.

2.Sponsored post sites

Hey this is generally the best source of online income if you really have a good blog.The range can be anywhere between 5$ to 1000$ at least for good bloggers per post on their blogs.Good sites that I know are Review ME,Blogsvertise,Sponsored posts,Smorty and Social Spark.

3.Affiliate marketing

This is another good source of income if you are really good at selling things from your websites.The giant Amazon is the best place to go for affiliate marketing.Others like Ebay,Clickshare, Commmision Junction are also good enough.

4.Its not only from your blog that you earn money

Ahh yes its correct that you not just earn money from your blog now.As I have said that you have new opportunities in this year specially from Twitter.Places like RegGage, Mylikes,Sponsored tweets can end up in making you earn a lot more that your blogs income.

5.Merchandising

Some professional bloggers now have started to even merchandising their brand name to people in various forms like T-shirts etc.I am not naming them but this is possible only if people are really respecting you and you yourself have a great going in the blogosphere.

As the time is passing by even more new sites are opening up which are increasing the number of sources to earn money online .If you have any more ideas and places to earn money online then feel free to suggest me so that even I can earn a bit more.

WHAT'S YOUR GOAL?

First let me congratulate everyone who feels like blogging and speaking out their views through a blog.Hey everyone wants readers to come and read their content so that some useful comment can really help them out in improving their writing style.People are so much engrossed in just writing posts that they sometimes forget what they would do once they get exhausted or if they do not get what they want in the set amount of time.Its just not writing about writing 20 -30 posts a day and then getting exhausted the entire upcoming week.Its essentially important for them who are not the full time bloggers and spend few essential hours from their rest time.

So I wanna ask you all that what is your goal?How much do you think you can write everyday so that you are very regular at updating your blog with the posts and good quality content and not just the bull shit of hi and hello and putting a good quote to impress people around.

A good friend of mine said that maybe I should try and write atleast 3 blog posts a day .Whoa boy that means atleast 100 posts in annually.That would eventually make a good content based site.But has he thought that how much research on the Internet everyone has to make to get a single good quality post on the blog.If you say three for example then your thought process also gets tested only in the second one that you are going to write and making it better than the previous one with exclusive content is something that is tough and everyone would agree.So I would recommend that set a goal for yourself and try to follow that without putting too much pressure on yourself.The better you can write is the thing that everyone might read instead of just posting bull shit on your site.

I am currently starting after my break because of university exams and tight practical schedules. But finally i have set my goal of atleast one and maximum 2 posts per day.That i my aptitude and I know if stress more things will only get worse.So set yourself and commit to only what you can achieve.The goal has to be something that you can achieve and also keeps you motivating every time you hit the screen.Your only one good blog post is equivalent to 20 bull shits written even by good bloggers. I wish you all good luck on your blogging time.Cheers!
