On The Couch with Hosting Impact  – 4 Steps To Make Money Online – The Power Of The Blog

A Business Associate and myself were discussing various things last night, as we do and it never ceases to amaze me, the amount of subjects we touch upon nor the solutions to some of these problems. Although, to be honest with you, I can not see some of our suggestions being accepted and approved by the wider population…hee hee

One of the more heated subjects was “How To Make Money Online” and to cut a very long story short, we finally nutted it down to the following:

1. Create Your Website, Product or Something

2. Generating Income – Affiliate Programs, Google Adsense, Your Own Product

3. Marketing / Promotion – If people don’t know where you are, you ain’t selling squat.

4. Profit – It must be profitable

Thanks to the internet, people from different parts of the world are now able to communicate and interact with each other more now that at any other time in history.  The interent has provided a medium in which to express and convey your feelings, thoughts, products or services.  One of many mediums available to us are Blogs.  In some cases, Bloggers have earned fame and fortune and then of course their are bloggers that don’t.  Where you fit into the grand scheme of things is totally up to you, your subject and of course, what and how you write.

Basically, blogging was originally created as an online journal or diary where people were able to express their thougths and let their website visitors read about it. Today, blogging is now considered to be one of the more popular and effective ways to interact and share their point of view.  I admit, when Blogs came into being, I thought, nah, We have emails and websites, thats enough, it has to stop somewhere, I just don’t get it.  How wrong was I, i freely admit it. I have been wrong about heaps of things in the past and I have absolute confidence in my ability to be totally wrong about things in the future.

What can you blog about.  Your Life experiences, good, bad and ugly. A particular product or service either from a customers point of view or from the business itself.  Business Blogs are growing in popularity. Blogging can definitely make you famous or infamous.  So, how can you become famous through blogging and how can you take advantage of your blogging website that it can generate you some extra cash?

So, let’s extend the idea of creating a blog, to creating one about your business.

It really does not matter what your business, the same ‘rules’ apply – you create your blog, and begin to make ‘postings’, which is a very grandiose way of describing the ability that a blog gives you to basically write whatever you want to.

Let’s imagine a couple of different scenarios.

Situation one is that you own a ‘real world’ business that sells widgets. You have a customer list of people who have bought your widgets before, so you can use your blog as a regular newsletter to which you publish all of your latest special offers, discount deals, news and so on.

It is a fantastic way of keeping in touch with your existing customers and, by publishing regular news bulletins through the company blog site, it offers a way to invite potential new customers to have a look inside your organization too, before they decide whether or not they want to work with you.

Of course, the limitation of using a blog for a real world business selling tangible physical products is that no blog or website can actually deliver the product for you.

However, in situation two, where you are using a blog to promote an online or Internet marketing business, even that can be achieved through your blog site to a certain extent.

Let’s imagine that your business is selling a website traffic generation service to other businesses on the net who want to increase the people that see their own sites. 

You can write about all of the latest traffic ideas that you have and promote your services through the blog.  You would also most probably have a ‘buy now’ button featured somewhere very prominently on the front page. You might also review traffic generation products from other companies, and carry links on your blog that would take the reader directly to the sales page for the product in question, if they have an interest in finding out more.

Although (as Wikipedia points out) blogging was initially a text based publishing medium, it is now increasingly becoming linked to other media, such as video, as well.  So, not only can you write reviews but you can even create short movies to do the same as well, and publish them to your blog (and other places, as we shall see later).

You can create video presentations about your business, your products or basically whatever else you want, and have it out there in front of a potential audience of over 1 billion people in a matter of minutes.

It has been said that there are ‘three cornerstones’ to online success and that they are visitor traffic, visibility and perceived credibility.  This is a critical concept to grasp, and one to which we will return time and again.

A blog site is such a powerful marketing tool because it allows you to address all three of these requirements through the one simple site, as you are about to discover. To take it one step further, a Blog site that is updated consistently and regularly with relevant content is such a powerful marketing tool.

We trust you have found the information useful and please feel free to contact Hosting Impact for assistance in creating your Blog.

Until Next Time
Happy Blogging

Below are 4 great tips on receiving traffic to your new website or blog.

1. Forum marketing

You can begin by posting in various relevant forums to enhance your presence. Be a consistent contributor to the posts, offer sound advice and above all be respectful of other users. Over time, other contributors will come to know and trust you and they will actively seek out your opinion or thoughts. Remember to place your Signature, which is nothing but text of about 3-4 lines, with a link to your web site or the affiliate’s website placed strategically within your Profile on the Forum.

 2. Title Tag

A blog must have an effective relevant title tag in order to get a good ranking within the search engines. The title plays a vital role, initally, however the actual post must be well-written and informative and pertain to the subject. Ensure that the Title Tag and content tie into together. This will provide your web site with good traffic.

3. Tell-a-friend

It is also a good idea to place a “Tell-a-Friend” script on your website. Once again, don’t place it on some obscure place of your website, make it prominent, top left or right side and just underneath the header has always worked best for us. The “Tell-a-Friend” script may help you in getting more traffic as visitors may recommend your website to other people.

4. Promotion

If you’ve liked a product that you’ve used and there is an opportunity for you to leave behind a suitable testimonial, well then do so. Remember to place a link to your website at the end. Promote your website at every available opportunity, in your daily conversation with customers, friends, associates. Ask them for their opinion on your website, the colours, design, layout etc but promote it at all times. Every email that you send out should have your company details and or Branding and with links back to your website. This will also ensure that adequate traffic comes to your web site.
