What you should you know about blog marketing?

Yes, for a beginner, marketing your blog in the blogosphere can be tough. It requires dedication and consistency in posting blog posts. For someone just starting out with their blog, it is definitely a lot of work and the money doesn’t come immediately. Blog marketing will produce the desired results only after a minimum of 6 months.

There are many ways to market your blog. Here are some things that I have learnt:

  • Visit other blogs in your niche.
  • Read sincerely and make sensible comments.
  • Maintain your blogging frequency. 2 posts a week is a must in the beginning
  • Develop contacts through various blogging networks
  • Use the bloggers networks’ features fully.
  • Try to get an authority in your niche through Technorati.
  • Frequently quote other blogs in your blog posts and site the resource.
  • Reply to the comments on your blog posts.
  • Visit the links on the comments.
  • Post summaries of your blog posts in revenue sharing blogs and leave a link back to your blog post’s URL.
  • Submit your blog to RSS search engines.
  • Ping regularly.

Persevere and you will see results.

All Social Profiles in One Button: SocialFollow

SocialFollow is a cool new web application that combines all of your other social networking and social bookmarking profiles. You probably as many active bloggers, or just social networks customers, have your accounts on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Digg, and many other profiles around the net. It would be nice if your blog visitors will become your followers on one or few sites, where they have accounts as well.

With SocialFollow, you are able to combine all of these profiles into one handy button. These are great for embedding to your blog, sharing in your forum signature, or posting it anywhere around the web!

Through the freely available services, you can create a button that can be embedded wherever you choose on the web, contains personalized links to the social accounts that you use. All your blog visitor has to do is rollover the button to find the links to your accounts. Not only can the accounts that are linked to be customized but the appearance of the button itself can also be changed to some extent. With a Social Follow button, you can consolidate everything one time and not have to think about it again.

You just sign up online and then add the corresponding social links one by one. A string of code will be generated for you to embed at your blog or web page.

A golden egg laying duck is roaming unidentified.

I just wasted my time reading 13 ebooks on blogging and making money by blogging. All of them were just garbage. Not a page in them will be useful even to a beginner blogger.

When compared to them, my e-course on making money by blogging is a pure jewel that is absolutely valuable but one cannot real estimate its in value in terms paper currency.

My ecourse content is full of top quality content that starts from setting up of blog with fiblogspot.com to complete blog promotion guide. The e-course is filled with easy to understand screenshots.

There are a number of screenshot based manuals that deal with:
* How do use Digg
* How to use Technorati
* How to use Mybloglog and Blog catalog (blogging communities)

Plus, I give hundreds of resources o how to make money by blogging. These resources alone run to several pages and all of them are guaranteed money makers.

I give free video tutorial on wordpress blogging system.
I continue to give support through email as long as I live.

And I only charge $65 for the e-course.

Those who are not using my e-course are ignoring a golden egg laying duck.

ps: my ecourse is only for those who are residents of Madras.

Prenatal vitamins are not really for you.

I wonder whether pregnant women bother to get feedbacks from others who have taken all the prescribed prenatal vitamins before their first appointment with their gynecologist.

Recently, when I accompanied a relative for a prenatal check up, I noticed the doctor reprimanded her for not heeding to her advice. I was suddenly aware of the number of prenatal vitamins that the doctors prescribe has increased over the years.

I certainly didn’t take so many 24 years ago!

I really would like to see a website that collects consumers’ feedback on prenatal vitamins. It will be a great help for pregnant women.

One thing women should ensure is that at no cost they should fail to nourish the baby inside. Doctors know what they are doing and it is best to act as per their advice.

Learn to make money with others' content.

I landed myself on a free e-book about how to use PLR articles effectively. It is not the first ebook that I read on the topic but it is definitely the first e-book that is very well wriiten in a pdf format.

The title of the e-book is
Demystifying Private Label, Resell and
Master Resell Rights and the name of the author is Stuart Tran.

After 10 long years in the internet marketing industry, I clearly understood the full meaning of these terms:
* Free give away
* Resell rights
* Master resell rights
* PLR

So, far, I thought, PLR among the above is the least respected product. How mistaken I am.

Here is a point that I liked very much. It is about the rules to use the PLR/RR/MRR products.
"Repurposing means to use the same content and re-write it for another purpose. Often, the “33 ways to write a sales letter” can be repurposed to “33 ways to write a newspaper ad” with very little change. Repurposing is a powerful way to get more content up and running in the shortest possible time."

If you want this free ebook, please email me. I will be glad to give it away.

For the women who imagine they have started getting old.

I screamed at my husband to stop talking. All I asked him was an ignorant question about the purpose of using argireline and look at what I had to take for an answer from him.

He started showing his chemistry knowledge by talking about Acetyl Hexapeptides and amino acids. In fact, he began drawing on a piece of paper. Who is interested in knowing all this?

So, he stopped and came down to level of a woman who has only figures in her mind. I mean mathematical figures folks!

He told me argireline is used mostly by women who imagine they have started getting old at the first sight of a line at the corner of the eyes. While women like men who show wrinkles when they smile, they don’t like it on them.

But then, women are women!

Money Making Video Sites!

There is money, lots of it, posts and pots of money waiting for every one of us in websites or blogs with short video clips embedded. There is absolutely no need to create your own video to earn money.

Web 2.0 has made it possible to say openly, "See this enchanting video clip on how to make perfumes from flowers at your home".

Or you can say, "I am happy to share with you a video on dog obedience training".

And then, you search for such video clips in Youtube or Metacafe, embed them in your blog, say a few words why you think you like it and press the publish button!

Easily create video sites instantly with a script that does all the jobs for you. Start making money in less than 24 hours.


The secret behind a quick trim.

The TV commercial on a quick trim product was well written. It has been a long time since an advertisement attracted me for the quality of copywriting.

Quick trim products target weight loss in record time and naturally, they are the most sought after detox pills than other diet pills that don’t promise quick results.

I am a firm believer in mind power for any medicines to yield the expected results. There is really no point in trying to reduce weight or remove acne vulgaris with diet pills and blackheads removers if you are skeptic.

But unfortunately, that is the case majority of the people. What about you?

I know quick trim works for those who are sincerely interested in looking slim and beautiful. That is the only secret.

New steps involved in custom domain publishing.

I wish Blogger is little more explicit in explaining how to set up your blog on a custom domain that is hosted free of charge by blogger. For a beginner, it is definitely a serious matter and without personal guidance, it is impossible to get it going.

So far, I have done this 10 times for myself and to a few of my friends. Every time I do, I am confused but ultimately managed with the help of my dependable domain seller Nettigritty.com whose service has no match anywhere in the world.

Previously, all I have to do was change the nameservers and create a CName record. Now, Bloggers says we have to create 4 'A' records too. Even after completing the work, we have no way to confirm whether have done our work properly or not.

We can know only after two days when the domain gets across all the servers in the world.

The little black demons on the face.

I hate the word ‘somehow’. That too, when it is used by a doctor, I get angry. We approach doctors only because we don’t know what to do when something bothers us for more than a couple of days-right?

When I met the dermatologist in his posh office, I didn’t ask him how to get rid of blackheads but asked him how those little black demons form on the face. He replied that the dark plugs get darken ‘somehow’.

If you happen to read articles in the Internet about blackheads, you will notice that faces with oily skin are more susceptible to get blackheads. But how will one find out whether the skin is oily or not? Do they have to use some sort of blotting paper on their face?

I am sorry for my outburst. I don’t like vague answers from educated persons.

Which Blog Platform Should I use?

For a beginner blogger, these are questions that will come to their mind;

  • ‘Which Blog Platform Should I use?’
  • ‘Should I use a free Blogger.com blog or get my own hosted blog on my own Domain? Which Blog Platform is best?’
  • ‘What are the Pros and Cons of going with WordPress as a blog platform?’

I’m not going to tell you which blog platform you should use because, ultimately, the decision is to be taken by you only based on your goal. I will lay the bare facts; you decide.

Ponder before deciding on a blog platform:

You can change your blog platform at a later time but these are issues you will have to face:

Blog transfer cost

Changing from a free hosted blog service to a self hosted one means changing your domain name itself which has implications on Search Engine traffic.

Again getting comfortable with a new blogging platform

All your efforts to promote your previous blog domain will be wasted. You will have to start all over again.

I know starting with blogger.com is the easy way out but wordpress is better option in the long term even though the learning curve at the beginning is a bit steep.

8 Common Mistakes of Guest Posting on Blogs

Link building is one of the most useful approaches to get more visibility to your blog, improve its rating, and attract visitors your site. All SEO experts agree that it is generally helpful, but the links building strategies might be different, and not all of them are bringing equally positive results.

If you are trying to build links that point back to your blog or website one of the most powerful ways you can do that is by offering to write content on other blogs. This is a little different than landing a freelance writing job because your offer is to help bloggers by writing content on their blog for free. While this might not sound like a very good deal for you in terms of the return on invested time, in fact, it really is.

Paying for links is risky. Google has a good sniffer for spotting paid or sponsored links. Doing link exchanges, especially blogroll exchanges, has proved to have very limited value. Ordering sponsored posts is very risky as well because you then might put your site on Google’s radar of potentially “blacklisted sites”.

Writing guest posts is a safe and very natural way to score powerful backlinks to your blog or website. Consider this too. When you publish content on other blogs, you are in complete control of the link building process. You are in complete control of how you want to word your content and shape and mold your links pointing back to your site. In other words, writing guest posts on other blogs gives you the ability to take a blank piece of digital paper and turn it into anything you want.

Guest posting on other blogs has other benefits as well. For one, you’ll find that you have an endless supply of blogs where you can publish your content on. Most bloggers struggle for material. Just like a journalist or a columnist, often bloggers struggle from writers block and totally enjoy it when someone offers to provide them with killer content.

Another benefit is the fact that not only can you build links by writing the content, you can also take a chance to use the post for indirect “selling” yourself and your content to readers of the blog you are publishing on. This gives you an amazing opportunity to increase the number of regular reader who read your own blog or website.

The only disadvantage is the amount of time you need to invest into writing content. One thing about that though is I believe that you always get back when you put in. Meaning, if you invest the time into writing quality content on other blogs, your return will be great as well.

Common mistakes with guest posts
  • Writing the guest post before you pitch the owner. Please send him/her several prospective post ideas, with bullet-pointed sub-points, and let owner suggest the best one for the audience.
  • Not doing your research. Read carefully author’s post and note the format of the blog, you are addressing your post. Your publication should match the spirit, structure, and format of the site, otherwise it might be rejected by the owner.
  • Submitting link-baits. Avoid submitting the posts that due to the time-limited actuality will be forgotten by the next day. High-traffic sites, for the most part, want great articles that will stand the test of time.
  • Using someone else’s content. One of the stupidest things you can do when submitting a post to someone else’s blog is to use someone else’s content. You do need a positive publicity, and not a negative one. Be professional and responsible, whatever you do and respect the host.
  • Using already published content. Don’t submit a post that you’ve already posted on your blog (or that you intend to publish on your blog in the future). As you know, having the same content in multiple places on the web doesn’t look good for search engines, and the blog owner might be very strict about that. Write and submit something unique. If you do intend to post something in multiple places make sure you get the approval of the blogger first.
  • Submitting self promotional content. The main reason that you as a guest poster are likely to engage in guest posting is to get exposure to a wider audience. That’s pretty well understood by everyone – however sometimes posts go too far and become more about the guest poster than anything else. If you’re going to use links back to your own blog inside the post (as opposed to just a byline) then make sure they’re completely relevant to the post itself and useful to readers. If you’re too self-promotional you’re less likely to have your post accepted and if it is you could end up hurting your reputation with those who read the post.
  • Making the blog post all about your opinion. Nobody cares about you. Use research, charts, and expert quotes to back up your argument, and create an interesting thesis.
  • Underestimating how long it takes to write a good post. On your blog, you might have great posts, average posts, or weak posts. You are the owner. But, when you propose your writing to the fellow blogger take your time to make a great irresistible content. You want attract the readers attention, so make it perfect by all means.

Whenever you find it hard to sleep…

There is an ancient quote in Tamil that has spoken beautifully about keeping our colon clean. Decongesting our entire body once a month with the use of natural colon cleansers or contemporary colon cleansing pill is as essential as brushing our teeth twice a day.

Some of the effects of polluted colon:

Indigestion

Poor sleep

Laziness

But do we really attribute unclean colon for such body defects? No! We, with our partially collected heath facts accuse poor quality food, hard bed and monotony in work for the above maladies.

One can find effective medicines to clean the colon or use Aloe Vera. In our family, we use aloe vera juice regularly that keeps our body colon spotless.

I will tell you a symptom for accumulated body toxins. Whenever you find it hard to sleep, then you can definitely say your colon needs your immediate attention.

Finding images for blog posts.

I have stumbled on to this blog http://www.blog-tutorials.com/ and I like the template first. I envy bloggers who are using great templates. I wish I have the skill to develop a template that is on my vision. If it gets the shape, it can be the most beautiful blog template. I am sure of that.

Now, http://www.blog-tutorials.com/ has some useful articles on blogging that I feel will help beginner bloggers to learn the art of blogging.

Here are some of topics of my interest on which the blogger has written blog posts:
Guest blogging
Blog backup
Finding images for blog posts

I glanced through the blog post on finding legal images for blog posts and I want you to read it too.

Some things work better in the night.

Not many women are aware of this scientific fact: “Our skin is more open for repair only during the night when our entire body undergoes rejuvenation.” That is why, in the olden days, our grandmas advise us to apply a home made paste to apply on our face and arms before retiring to bed.

Are there any special ingredients that we have to be aware of while looking for the best night cream?

Opinion differs but I would look for organic night cream that is any time better than chemical based anti aging creams.

There are plenty of organic night creams in the market and one can search the internet for their reviews. Yes, this takes time and still one can’t decide based on the reviews-right?

So, how to choose the best night cream?

If I were you, I would buy a night cream that takes time to yield results. I will never try to speed up the healing process.

This Amanda Bynes. Isn't she stunning?

Ghost bloggers wanted.

In the last week, there have been quite a few advertisements for bloggers in the website of blogger jobs. Is that an indication of better time for bloggers? I would hope so.

The year 2010 can be a busy year for bloggers who are interested in ghost blogging. And I don't foresee any decline for the demand for probloggers in the years ahead.

Here are some of the "Wanted Bloggers for money" ads:
* Want to write for an ad agency? There’s an opening for a blogger who will be tasked to write 250 to 500-word articles on the advertising industry.
* Health and fitness bloggers are hired by livestrong.com
* There is an opening for a blogger who can write movie reviews.

Visit bloggerjobs.biz for details on the above three advertisements.

Affordable Miami hotel in South Beach.

Generally speaking, the price range for a two nights stay in a Miami hotel in the South Beach locality is expensive for most of the travelers from Asia. The minimum rate per day will start from $60 and of course for that price, one can expect to enjoy 3 star luxuries.

My son, a software engineer, is expected to go to Miami in another ten days. He booked his accommodation in Majestic Hotel South Beach. It is located on the Ocean Drive, one of the most crowded places in Miami South Beach area.

The South Beach area is the most preferred place for tourists to Miami because of its proximity to the glorious and world famous Miami Beach. And the night life activities in and around the South Beach are said to be exciting.

One of my Twitter contacts has kindly offered to be my son’s guide in Miami though I doubt very much whether my son will have any free time for sight seeing.

How much you can earn with one blog?

I have been earning by blogging since 2005. I started with just one blog and now I have about 18 blogs and all are fetching money to me.

I am happy to be working from home.

First I started earning only from Google AdSense. Over the years, I have found various ways to earn by blogging.

I am giving below a short report on how much you can earn with just one blog provided you do the search engine optimization of your blog and promote your blog vigorously for 3 months.

All the estimated earnings are calculated on a conservative basis and this is the minimum you can earn. You can increase your earnings over and above my estimate and that depends on several parameters that include the topic of your blog, the content of your blog, keyword analysis and of course the traffic you receive.

Google AdSense: $15 per month

Sponsored posts: $20 per month

Text link ads: $15 per month

Banner ads: $30 per month

Cost per million (CPM): $36 per month

Total expected earnings: $116 per month

Note:
Earning through affiliate marketing is another potential avenue to monetize your blog. The income through this method cannot be estimated. But it can surpass all the above earning expectation.

Important:
To achieve the above result, your blog should be on your own domain and it should be preferably built using wordpress platform.

The earnings estimate is not typical and can vary either way.

For a more detailed report, please email me.

The ultimate seclusion in Riviera Maya.

For a Riviera maya family vacation, it is always difficult to choose from Karisma’s five signature resorts include: El Dorado Royale Spa Resort (adults only), El Dorado Seaside Suites (adults only), Azul Beach (family-friendly) & Azul Blue (family-friendly) and Hidden Beach Resort (naturalist). But for just married couples, the Hidden Beach Resort is the most ideal place to enjoy the full pleasures of the honeymoon.

A year ago, I offered to host a couple from Mexico in my house. They are friends of my Florida based brother. The couple was actually on a honeymoon having just spent 4 days in the Karisma’s Hidden Beach Resort at the Riviera Maya, Mexico.

Though, climate wise, Madras and Mexico don’t differ much, the young couple simply hated my city for various reasons. After enjoying the ultra luxury comforts at the Karisma hotel, my mediocre hospitality shocked them.

How can I match the services of a sea side resort that offers their guests a swimming pool when they step out of their hotel room? The couple explained how they slid down an artificial river and landed at the swimming pool with a joyous splash.

But somehow, I managed to show them a few beach resorts in Madras and the moment they compromised on one of them, they escaped from my house. I was sure they would head back to Riviera Maya in less than 24 hours.

4 Free Online Services to Scramble your Email Address and Prevent Spam

In today's underground culture of SPAM, the most used technique to harvest emails is by looking at websites.  Spiders run through the web collecting any code that has a name, an "@" sign, and a domain at the end. Thus, the SPAM lists are created from your own attempts to do business on the web.

So, by having your email address in a readable format you will eventually be hit by an email spam bot. Their function in life is to trawl every website looking for email addresses it can add to its database, with the sole purpose of spamming you at a later date. So what do these bots look for? Well firstly it might look for mailto: links. Alternatively it may look for email syntax xxx@xxxx.xx.xx for example.


Is there a simple solution to post your contact email address on the webpage, but still avoid the address capturing by unfriendly harvesters? Yes, it is. You can use a script encrypting email link on the webpage to hide them from spammers.

No, you do not have to be a software engineer to generate the code for each of your email addresses. You can find the appropriate generators online to be used for free. Here are selected links for you:

  1. Blogger Buster Email Link Scrambler
To use this email scrambler, simply enter your email address in the box below and type the link you would like to display to your visitors (eg: "Email Me"). When you click the "Scramble Email" button, you will be presented with javascript code which you can copy and paste into your blog template where you would like the email link to be displayed (eg: in an HTML/Javascript widget in your sidebar).

  1. uPromote Email Address Scrambler
The uPromote Email Address Scrambler turns ordinary text email addresses into ASCII code, causing email address harvesters to bypass real email addresses. To the human eye, an email addresses remains intelligible, while automated harvesters are duped into avoiding the code.

  1. WebDevTips Email Scrambler
Enter your email address into the appropriate field. The generator compiles a new string based on your email address, replacing the @ and . characters. A script is then created for you to cut and paste on your site which generates a mailto: link with javascript. Both your real email address and mailto: link will be invisible to the bots - protecting you from spam.

  1. DynamicDrive Easy Email Scrambler
To encrypt an email address, simply modify your existing "mailto:" link on the page with a specifically crafted email address instead, and the script modifies it to become valid for humans. Compatibility wise, the script works in all JavaScript enabled browsers, and even for those with JavaScript disabled, the resulting email link still works to a degree that allows the visitor to email you.
