Making an Income Through Blogging - Adam Ross Gregory

Start a Profitable Blog

So what is blogging really all about? 

First off, let me tell you that it's a => Lucrative Business to Blog 

And that blogs are easy to set up and manage. 

Imagine getting paid to write about subjects that interest you, whenever you want, 

Wherever you are! 

The flexibility involved allows you to maintain your blog at your own pace,
and with Internet cafe's easily accessible all over the globe,
even your vacation won't get in the way of your blogging...
Or should I say: even your blogging won't get in the way of your vacation?

In this article, let's take a look at the profitability of a blog and set up one of our own,

Free of charge!

Interested?

Read on!

First, you need to get yourself  => A Blog. 

There are several options – host a blog on your own domain or get a free one.
For starters, let’s talk about the free blogs.

You can obtain one at http://www.blogger.com  - like I have... => Click Here

or at http://www.wordpress.com.

WordPress is a free blog engine that is robust and infinitely expandable.

Blogger is actually owned by Google, so it will be detected by Google’s radar faster
and you will be indexed more quickly.

WordPress.com, however, is an another option  and, I have no comparison on the speed of getting indexed by search engines.
However, WordPress is better in the sense that it has more advanced features such as Trackbacks and Categories.
You can also manage your sidebar links more efficiently (more about this later).

Get a free blog at either Blogger or WordPress. Then, familiarize yourself by publishing your first post on your blog and tinkering around with the options and templates.

Here are some words to start expanding your blogging vocabulary:

Permalink – Permalink stands for permanent link, which is a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that leads to an individual post that you make in your blog.

Trackback – When you post about someone else’s blog post elsewhere, your post will show up in their “trackback” section. This feature, however, is not available with a Blogger account.

Pinging – Blogging seems to be paired with pinging almost every time either one is mentioned nowadays. Pinging is actually the action where a certain aggregator is notified whenever your blog is updated, so that the aggregator may show the newest post of your blog on their website. This is a useful way to gain traffic, which I'll discuss in a future article.

Content

Next, let's look at the type of content that's suitable for your blog in order to make it profitable. You need to understand that there is no fixed scope that your blog should have, which means you can write about whatever you’re interested in.

Mind you, the difference between a profitable blog and a non-profitable one is the way you write. What would you prefer: reading your university professor’s lecture notes or the latest novel by your favorite author?

People prefer to read "light" items most of the time.

When they check out your blog, they are not only looking for information, but they are also looking for information that they can access easily.

So, to attract more visitors as well as to keep your current readers coming back for more, it's very important to add a personal touch to your blog posts. This can be done by simply imagining that you’re talking with your personal friend.

An extra bonus for your readers would be a great sense of humor, so try to add funny comments in your articles where relevant.

Another important point is to avoid addressing your reader as a plural unit. Don't write as if you’re preparing a speech. Instead, write as if you’re having a conversation with a single person, an equal friend, because this will make your reader relate to you more easily.

Besides that, it's also very useful to establish your own personality through your words.
We're very curious creatures, so naturally your visitors would want to know as much
about you as the information you’re offering them.

Having a distinctive personality in your blog will make a world of difference between your blog about gadgets and all the other blogs about gadgets out there.

This is a lot like creating your own brand name, where people immediately remember your blog’s name when they need information about gadgets, just like how people immediately think of McDonald’s for fastfood or Nike for sportswear.

There will be more on the subject of content the next time.

When word gets around about your command of blogging, others who need to know about blogging will start to actively seek you out!

Email is Still the Way to Go - Adam Ross Gregory

There are a lot of critics who say => Email Marketing 

isn’t as effective as it once was... 

because more people are using mobile devices and 

texting to communicate with each other.

People today text and tweet rather than read emails, 

so a lot of younger customers don’t even have email accounts, 

only smart phones and social media.

While there’s no question that social media, texting,

and other communications platforms are more popular than email,

the principles of email marketing can be applied to practically any format.

So, even if email isn’t as popular as it once was,

these same strategies can help you connect with customers

via Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and even mobile marketing.

Here are some universal email marketing tips that will help you build your

subscription list with plenty of loyal, enthusiastic customers:


1. There’s More to Life than Opt-In Forms


While the opt-in form is one of the best ways to capture contact information,

 it’s not the only way.

If you already own your own business,

you probably already have a loyal customer base.

Why not give them an incentive to give you their email address by

offering special offers, discounts, or rewards?

You also can invite your social media contacts to join your list and

invite them to recommend you to their social media contacts as well.

Another option is to promote your list in forums,

or post articles or blogs related to your niche subject and include a link back

to your opt-in form in the “About the Author” box.

If you offer your customers something they find valuable to be a part of your subscription list,

then you can grow your list very quickly.


2. Keep On Testing


A/B testing, also known as split testing,

is when you send out two versions of the same email with

one slight variation to see which one converts better.

For example, you could send the same email with two different headlines.

Or, you could change the Call to Action slightly and

record which one gives you with the best responses.

From that point on, you can incorporate the successful

version in future emails and achieve better results.


3. Marketing Only to People Who Want Your Products


It doesn’t do you any good to market to people

who aren’t interested in your products.

One way to weed out those who aren’t interested is

to use a double opt-in to make certain that

only people who really want to be on your list are added.

A double opt-in is when you send a second email to somebody

who signs up for your list to confirm their subscription.

It eliminates people who don’t really want to be on your list

(and it also helps avoid spam complaints later).

You can also send another email at some point in the future

– such as in six or nine months –

asking your list members to confirm that they want to continue to receive emails from you.


4. You Can’t Afford to Ignore Social Media


Cross promoting your website on social media platforms like

Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram increases your chances of connecting with your customers.

You can invite people on your subscription list to

“Like” your Facebook Fan Page, follow you on Twitter,

and add you to their Google+ Circles, for example.

This gives you the opportunity to exponentially increase

your potential points of contact with your prospective customers.

In conclusion; Email marketing is the best method to create true equity with Internet Marketing.

This equity is also enjoyed by paying you daily, weekly and monthly residual dividends.

Outrageous Return On Investment - Adam Ross Gregory

There is one Program on the market that cannot be over looked. 

->Applied Cash Flow

In terms of it’s capability to teach, function, ease of use, 

customer / affiliate support

and the ability to produce immediate NET profits.

Just as any products today are ‘MARKETED’, 

the ‘well known’ makers of the product

eagerly state the earnings potential.

I did a case study of the product and

was surprisingly pleased with the results.

I am a rather hands on Internet Marketer.

I took the program and read every word carefully in the given instructions.

The instructions indicate free advertising will work, 

or you may choose to use paid advertising (solo-ads).


I set up the systems suggested and pushed the program hard.

To be fair with you I used every free traffic method 

the program suggested,…not one but ALL.


In my continuing fairness,

I not only used every free program

but I threw in about (300 clicks) of paid advertising also.

The program suggests The Solo Ad Boutique.


Solo Ads are actually my personal choice of advertising methods.

This was now actually going to be very interesting.

I wanted to if ‘solo advertising’ works with just about anything.

With my methods I usually find that I can create

a solid positive cash-flow with a steady daily ROI per campaign.

I basically can dial in what I want my daily income to be.

I suggest that a weeks worth of surrounding the program

with an attraction marketing campaign should enable an even greater yield.

I would recommend this program to a newbie with some basic skills. 


Complete newbies seem to struggle with the concepts of paid advertising,

thereby making this product difficult to succeed with.

Overall the ease of product sales was excellent

as you only have to have cut and paste skills.

Minimal set up and minimal set up time.


(The program made money in it’s first 24 hours, as stated.)

Results: My Daily Net ROI - 79% (Outrageous !!!)

My First day: Implemented ‘All well understood free traffic methods’,

and started with 300 clicks.

My Second day: 600 clicks

My Third day: 1200 clicks

Affiliate Marketing Today - Applied Cash Flow

Driving Massive Traffic or Leads through -> A High Converting Front End Offer.

Creating Super Affiliate -> Extreme Daily Cash Flow Results

Investing within in -> the Affiliate Marketing space is not that hard.  

It is much easier now, compared to the days when people have to make use of the telephones and other mediums of information just to get the latest updates on the way their program is coming along.

So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day in his or her life would sound something like this…

Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the various platforms are visited to check out new developments in the network.

As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new changes to make, in order to stabilize statistics -  as well as to massively Scale - Up Investments in traffic.

The site functions may have to be revised. The marketer knows that a well-designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliate’s conversion rates.

Establish your 'root' concept of promoting the affiliate program.

Track down every conversion you are getting accurately. See if they are new clients checking out further products.

In the process of doing all the necessities, the marketer is logged on to social media sites where he or she interacts with other affiliates and those under that same program.

This is where they can discuss things on how to best promote their products.

There are things to be learned and it is a continuous process.
Sharing tips and advices is a good way of showing support.

There may be others out there wanting to join and may be enticed by the discussion that is going on. There is no harm in assuming what opportunities ahead.

As my primary source of online marketing.

Wealth Secrets - Internet Marketing - Applied Cash Flow

Internet Marketing => Wealth Secrets

There’s one word that can carry quite a bit of power when used

As part of your marketing message:

“Free”.

Admittedly, “free” doesn’t carry the weight it used to. With everyone reaching the point of becoming over-saturated with marketing messages, something that has the word “free” attached to it has almost become a turn-off…especially online.

But it can still be a very effective tool, when used correctly; for example, as an inducement to opt-in to your newsletter or email list.

In many people’s minds, a successful marketing message has lots of exclamation points, underlines and flashing messages.

These things were all adopted to make the message stand out; the tables have now turned, however. The messages that stand out are the ones that don’t scream at the reader, but instead offer value in return for their time or business.

Giving someone a free gift for signing up for your newsletter can still be an effective tool, as long as the free gift is relevant to the reason they wound up at your business site to begin with.

If your business is financial advice, don’t offer a free report on advertising tips to your visitors. That’s not why they came to your site, and it won’t entice them to sign up.

However, if they came to your site to find information on financial advice, an offer of a free report on basic investment tips would be useful to them, and a much more effective enticement.

“But Dave,” I can hear you say, “I’m trying to sell them financial advice…why would I give it to them?”

For the same reason anyone offers free samples…to earn the customers’ trust in your product or service. If they like the free information and find it useful, they are becoming sold on you.

Of course, it doesn’t have to be a free report. You can offer a free trial of your software, a free ebook…anything that will help build your image as a business your customers can trust to help them with their needs.

 I personally use  mobile friendly email marketing 

As my primary source of online marketing.

Massive Leads - Blogging - Adam Ross Gregory

Create Massive Organic Leads => How to Create Massive Leads

just by....Spreading ideas -> (via content links) and accumulating attention.

Over time bloggers build subscribers. These subscribers are people 

interested in the field or topics that blogger writes about.

Each time those bloggers write a new post those readers possibly get notified of the new

content in their RSS readers.

Imagine :

• Every time you had an idea to share people who trust your opinions see it.

• Most of those may also write blogs in your field or related fields.

• Some of those bloggers actually may or should, at least mention your site

• Some of those bloggers may have thousands of subscribers.

. Where people go search engines follow. If many people link to your blog

posts that also boosts your search engine rankings for the other parts of your site.

If you write a frequently updated blog the media is more likely to reference you, 

than if you are just a merchant selling goods in your industry.

Passion

If you are passionate about a topic it shows. People who share that passion do not

subscribe to your blog, they subscribe to that passion. And they also share it with

others.

Bias

Each of us is brilliant and highly flawed. We are all human. Communities are built

around commonly shared ideas and shared points of personal identity. We are

more likely to listen to and believe those who tell us things confirming our

worldviews than people who challenge them.

Niche

With there already being 1,000’s of SEO blogs, I would not start a new blog

focused on SEO in 2016. The only way I would allow myself to do that is if I was

focused on SEO for a specific vertical like real estate or if I was focusing on a

subset of SEO like link building.

From a publishing standpoint, owning an idea is much more valuable than being a

1/100,000 player in a large market. The top site in any niche gets more media exposure,

more self reinforcing exposure.

Formatting

 We are more likely to trust and subscribe to sites that:

• Are aesthetically appealing with a unique site design

• Create important content, like top posts and about us pages, easy to find

• Rely on simple words and short sentences, and are thus easy to read and

understand

• Are well structured – with headings, subheadings, pictures, videos, and

bulleted lists to help break up the content

Filter & Offer High Content Quality

Some of the better bloggers write their rough drafts, save them, and finish them a few days

later. This makes your time appear more valuable,and makes your content 

quality better than a person who feels they have to write about everything.

Social Interaction

Many of the top channels got to be top channels by adding original content and

value to their marketplace. Others may have got there by stroking the egos of key

players in their market.

Your content quality does not matter until you get people to consume it. So here

are a few tips to help you get noticed

• Quote and link to popular bloggers, and add value to the conversion

• Leave valuable useful comments on popular related blogs

• Write articles for other popular blogs

• Create community based ideas and ask for feedback or involvement of

community members before launching it

• Actively solicit comments and reply to them

• Network offline at industry trade shows, conferences, and community

gatherings

• Don’t be afraid of controvercy. If you gain mindshare and authority some

envious parties will hate you for it.

• Add enough value to ideas that people talk about you when referencing

them

• Encouraging contribution from others and highlighting their contributions

builds a community effect to your site

Post Regularly

People appreciate regularity. Some bloggers ask for guest bloggers while they go on

vacation, while others pre-write draft posts that they publish periodically when

news is slow.

If you are short on ideas to write about then participate in your community and/or

solicit feedback and questions until you find good topics to write about.

Wait to Monetize

It is hard to win mindshare in competitive markets with a new site, especially if you

run too many ads on your site. If you place too many links or other ads above your

content on a brand new blog people are going to be less trusting of your blog.

Blogs are often hard to monetize using contextual ads, but tend to have great

revenue potential if you sell branded ads, create your own products, or use your

blog to create opportunities for indirect revenue.

Push Marketing

You have to do a bit of push marketing to get a new website noticed in competitive

markets. When you launch a new blog you should:

• Get involved in your topical community – online and offline if possible.

• Submit your blog to some of the popular general directories and blog

directories.

• Consider buying targeted AdWords or AdSense ads to drive traffic to your

site. Also look at BlogAds if they are popular in your space.

• Guest author for other trusted blogs in your industry.

Golden Rules of Blogging

• Follow your passions

• Don’t sit on a great story if you believe it is a great idea

• When in doubt, it is better to be opinionated than boring
