Blogging 101
Blogging 101
If writing is an art, then, blogging is
one way of using words to come up with
an art. This is because people who are
into blogging are the ones who are
artistic on their own sense, carefully
choosing words that would best describe
their feelings, sentiments, wishes,
desires, and everything.
Basically, blogs were first introduced
as weblogs that refer to a “server’s
log file.” It was created when web
logging hit the virtual market. Since
its inception in the mid-1990s, web
logging gradually saturated the virtual
community making the Internet a viable
source of greater information.
However, with web logging, you still
need a web site and domain names, but
with blogging, you do not need anything
just an account with blog providers. In
most cases, these kinds of blogs are
free of charge.
With the onset of blogging in the
industry, personal journaling had been
a common ground for people who wish to
be known all over the world. However,
not literally famous as this is not a
case on being popular or well-known
personality.
Generally, blogs are created for
personal use. Like a journal, people
can write their daily adventures,
sentiments, and whatever ideas they
want to express online.
Nevertheless, with the advent of the
online businesses, blogs had gradually
taken the limelight in providing
businesses a chance to boost their
productivity online. This is where the
business blogs have taken the
limelight.
Business blogs are, basically, created
to advertise the services or products
of a certain web site or online
business in order to increase online
sales.
Moreover, business blogs are also one
way of promoting the company so that
the other readers will know that a
certain company exists online. With
blogs, entrepreneurs are able to
establish a name in the virtual market
through articles that can be very
useful in the reader’s life.
From there, you can make money out of
blogs by simply syndicating it to your
business’ web site. This can be done
through the RSS technology.
So, if you are thinking to create a
blog, whether for business or for
pleasure, you need to know some tips
that could help you get through and
make your blog one of the interesting
blogs online.
Here’s how:
1. Consider your audience
Even if your blog is generally
personal, still, it would be better to
consider the minds of your readers. You
have to think of something that would
interest them.
After all, most of the reasons of
people who write blogs are not at all
confined to their own personal motives.
Most of them would love to be “heard”
(or read) and would love to be known,
in some way or another, even for just a
minute. Hence, it is very important to
come with a write up that everybody can
understand, not necessarily that these
people can relate to it but they can
understand it.
2. Pictures speaks a thousand words
To make your blogging worth the
browsing effort of your readers, it
would be extremely nice if you will put
some pictures in it. It does not
necessarily mean you have to place a
picture of yourself. Any photographs
will do as long as it does not pose
danger or insult to anyone who will be
reading your blog.
3. Make constructive and beneficial
blogs.
Even if you are free to write anything
you wan to say to the world, still, it
would be better to create some
write-ups that would be beneficial to
your readers.
After all, its information technology
that you have there so better be
inclined to provide information rather
than sheer quirky entertainment.
4. Avoid making multifaceted and
complicated blogs.
In order to have an interesting blogs,
try not to use some highly technical
and highfalutin words. After all, it is
not a science discourse or a debate
that you are making, so better stick to
simple facts and short blogs.
Bear in mind that most people who use
the Internet usually do more scanning
than scrutinizing each site word for
word. Therefore, it would be better to
come with blogs that will not bore your
readers just because you have these
lengthy articles.
5. Make it interactive.
As much as possible and if your
capacity will allow it, make your blog
interactive. You can do this by placing
some video or audio clips in your blog.
You can even place an area for comments
or for some feedbacks. In this way, you
can get some impressions or reactions
of other people. Who knows, you might
even gain some friends just by making
them feel at home in your blog site.
Indeed, blogs are not created just for
the mere fun of it. It also has its own
purpose in the world of the Internet.
Therefore, for people who wish to
harness their craft, as far as writing
is concerned, blogs are the best way to
do it.
As they say, blogging is the
contemporary term of creative and
commercial writing.

FEATURE ARTICLE - 4 Ways of Making Money Online
————————————————————
Author: Keith Bowman of eBookBounty.com
If you are still new to Internet Marketing, let me take you for a short tour around this brand new, exciting world of Internet Marketing - by first showing you some 4 of many ways people do to make money online.
Here goes!
[1] Affiliate Marketing.
This is by far one of the most-used marketing methods online. Basically, you refer prospects to the principal or sales person online in the shoes of an affiliate for a percentage of commissions.
You are not really the sales person here, but merely a referrer or middle man. You refer while the principal does all the selling to the prospect you refer. If the prospect buys as a result of your referral efforts, you can get a percentage of the commission. If it is a digital product, your percentage of commission can range from 40% to 75%!
This is very good, if done right, since you do not need to create your own product or service - thus you save time simply by referring prospects!
[2] Resell Rights.
This is one of the recent Internet Marketing fads that have been going on for the past 3 to 4 years. In a nutshell, you can buy and resell a product and keep 100% of the profits (of course, if the product has Resell Rights).
This is a benefit that affiliate marketers do not have. In addition, you can possibly earn back-end residual income by reselling as many copies of a digital product as possible as long as you have the product’s contents rebranded to your own affiliate link.
[3] Selling your own Information Product.
This is one sure fire way of making money online. You have full control over your product’s terms and conditions and own full ownership over it.
You can choose to convey Resell Rights to your product or leverage your marketing efforts on an army of affiliates.
However, you must have the skills and expertise to create your own Information Product.
If you are talented, knowledgeable and have good writing skills, this is for you.
[4] Start a mailing list.
With your own huge mailing list of subscribers, you can endorse products as a Joint Venture partner for commissions or sell advertising space within your eZine issues.
The more subscribers you have and the more responsive they are, the higher your sales conversion rates each time you endorse a product or service and the higher you can charge advertisers for buying ad space within your eZine.
These are just 4 ways of making money online. While there are certainly more ways to profit online, these four options are the easiest to achieve by most individuals out there.
Until the next time!
Sincerely,
Keith Bowman

GUEST ARTICLE - 10 Reasons Why Selling eBooks on eBay May Not Be a Bad Idea
————————————————————
Most people still don’t realise the benefits of selling digital products on eBay, so I have provided 10 good reasons why selling eBooks on eBay may not be such a bad idea after all.
1. You have no physical stock to hold. As the items you are selling are digitally stored on your computer or web server you never have to worry about having the space available in your home or office to store your goods.
2. Everything can be fully automated. That’s right, if you sell eBooks you don’t have to worry about delivering your stock to your customers, you don’t have to worry about rushing to the post office. It is possible to fully automate the whole delivery process.
3. Your customer gets their purchase instantly. As you can deliver instantly this means your customer gets their purchase right away, this is a very powerful selling tool indeed.
4. No postage costs. As you are selling a digital item your delivery costs are zero.
5. You can create your own products at will. I think we all dream of writing a book, well because of the digital age this has become possible. Anyone can create their own eBook on any topic they wish.
6. You can generate an affiliate income. If you create your own eBooks you can provide links to recommended products and services and generate an easy affiliate income.
7. Other eBay sellers can make you money. Allow your own eBooks to be sold by others and you can create a viral empire, all linking back to your websites, products and services.
8. You can build your mailing list. Simply give away a free eBook or report in exchange for some contact details. This can generate 1000s of potential leads you can follow up on and ‘build your list’.
9. You can be seen as an expert in any field. All it takes is to research your chosen topic on the internet, write about it and create an eBook that can make you money for years. As you are now seen as an expert in your chosen field you can create further products, websites and services and build your own niche empire.
10. You can have a product that is unique. How often do we see 100s of eBay sellers competing with each other selling the same products? Well in the digital age it is possible to create a product that is 100% unique to you. This means you control the price.
There you go, 10 simple reasons why selling eBooks on eBay may not be a bad idea after all.
