How to Market Your Blog Like a ProBlogger

How to Market Your Blog Like a ProBlogger
by. Kenneth Edwards

You can have the "best" blog in the world, but it won't matter much if you don't have anyone to see it. Starting a blog doesn't make you a Pro Blogger. Consistently solving solutions for readers and a passion for blogging does. What does this have to do with Marketing your blog? Everything! In order to be successful at marketing, you must have a good product. Having a great product makes marketing it simple. It almost markets itself. As a blogger, your content is your product.
Here's 7 Ways To Market Your Blog:

1. Giving Away a Free Report:
Then, contact the top Bloggers in your industry to let them know that you have a really good, cool, and free report available, if they wanted to let their readers know about it. Yaro Starak from Entrepreneur's Journey, talks about this as one of his "traffic rivers". You can read about it in his free eBook, Blog Profits Blueprint.
2. Article Marketing:
Article marketing is the art of writing good articles, then getting those articles syndicated all over the internet. See, your articles can go places that your blog post can't. With your articles, you can submit them to article directories, where they are picked up by other publishers and run in their newsletters, ezines, or put on their sites. The sweet part is that every article of yours, that is out there circulating the world wide web, has a link back to your site.
3. Create Original, Evergreen, Valuable Content:
As a blogger, your content is being syndicated across the web the minute you post, especially if you use Wordpress. So, creating quality, unique content is marketing your blog. Creating evergreen content, content that holds true years later, is important for the staying-power of your blog. Steve Pavlina, who gets over 1.1 million visitors to his blog a month, contributes most of his traffic to his ability to create good, solid, helpful content.
4. Guest Blogging:
John Chow's blog is ranked the #2 Make Money Online Blog by 45n5.com and says, "Doing a guest post on a popular blog is one of the best free ways to give your blog some exposure", and I agree. You are gaining instant access to an already established community and best of all, it's free. Even better than that, you are getting an "endorsement" by the blog owner as to how good your content is.
5. Video Submissions:
Video is an absolutely wonderful way to get traffic to your blog. Although we're doing business on the Internet, you're still doing business with humans. People are people, are people, and they love to know that they are truly interacting with a real person. They say pictures tell 1,000 words; well, video tells a "bagillion" (LOL). Jeremy Schoemaker has a case study of a guy going from barely any visitors at all to over 3,500 visitors a day using only one video sharing site.
6. Search Engine Optimization:
SEO is the process of getting free traffic from the search engines. As John Reese, known for making 1 million dollars in 1 day online, says on his Income.com blog, this is one of the 4 major ways of getting traffic to your site. Many people really don't understand how to accomplish this. There are two major factors in getting ranked high in the search results: on page optimization and off page optimization. On page optimization is simply having the keywords that you want to rank for "on the page", usually, in the title, description, and throughout the post, BUT the most important factor is off-page optimization. That is the process of getting links from other people's web sites pointing to yours with the proper anchor text. The more links you have pointing to your site, especially from other sites that are authority sites, the higher you'll rank in the search results for your prized keywords.
7. Social Marketing:
Awww...The power of conversation. This is what you have to realize: Pro blogging is a personal conversation between you and one reader. As you "hit the nerves" and tug the heart of that reader, they will spread your story. This is the heart of social marketing...from one conversation to another, doing your best to stay on the lips of as many interested readers and possible. Jack Humphrey, an expert in marketing blogs through the power of social marketing, has a really good, free report on social marketing and how to use it to get traffic and links. Marketing Is Everything! Marketing Is Everything! Marketing Is Everything! It's how you let the world know that you exist, that they should come and have a "look-see". Once you change your thinking from the old "if you build it, they will come" mentality that is killing so many businesses, you'll find success and profits. by Kenneth Edwards Jr. If you liked this article about How To Market Your Blog Like A ProBlogger, Then you'll love these 18 free gifts to help you start making money from home today.

Want to Find Success With Affiliate Marketing?

Want to Find Success With Affiliate Marketing? Write Articles!
by. Jude C Wright

Articles are a great way to add fresh and new content for your websites without having to pay someone else to create the content for you. Writing an article is simple and most articles should only be around 300 to 500 words. Many people pass on writing articles because they feel that they are not good writers and they think that it is difficult to do. Article and content writing is not difficult at all. To begin you can start with a simple list. Think of the top ten anything or eight ways you can do something else. After you write a few of these, you can begin to see the results of your writing. Take it slow and write about something that you know and understand. The whole point of the writing is to complement your website or blog, so you should be able to create content without much difficulty. Another way to write great content is to research keywords on the article that you will be writing. The keyword here is research. This means that you will be learning more about the topic that you are writing about. Do not steal other content from websites and directories because it is unethical and you will be penalized by the search engines. The person you have stolen the content from can also contact your website hosting and have you banned from that as well. Create your own content, do not steal it. Writing your own content can help you to receive more visitors to your website. You can also submit these articles to article directories as a way to receive visitors and one way links. Try to create separate content for your websites and for your article directory submission to cut down on the amount of duplicate content on your web pages. You can also create quick content that you can use in a newsletter. This is another way to keep fresh content available for your visitors and you can keep them coming back when they are sent a newsletter. This is a great way to remind them about your site or products, so that they can visit once again. Jude Wright has been the owner of

CARI UANG anda saat ini sangat membebankan hidup anda. Anda harus bangun pagi-pagi sekali saat mata masih mengantuk, harus berangkat kerja saat anak tercinta masih terlelap tidur dan pulang saat anak sudah lelap tertidur
Apakah anda bahagia dengan CARA CARI UANG anda saat ini? kalau jawabanya tidak, luangkan sedikit waktu anda untuk terus membaca artikel ini sampai habis agar pikiran anda terbuka bahwa ada CARA CARI UANG yang jauh lebih MUDAH & CERDAS yang sudah mencetak milyarder baru baik di Indonesia apalagi diluar negeri

ada hal lain dalam mendapatkan uang dengan mudah
yaitu dengan CARI UANG DARI INTERNET

pernahkah anda membayangkan mendapatkan banyak pesanan dari negara lain sedangkan anda tidak memiliki kantor perwakilan atau tenaga pemasaran dinegara tersebut, pernahkan anda membayangkan bisa membantu banyak orang khususnya saudara dekat kita yang sedang menganggur dengan membuatkan bisnis online yang bisa menghasikan DUIT untuk mereka, dan masih banyak manfaat lainnya yang bisa kita dapatkan bila kita mengertiINTERNET MARKETING.
Pernahkah Anda bertanya-tanya "ApakahBELAJAR INTERNET MARKETING" merupakan keahlian yang HARUS kita miliki saat ini dan apakah benar-benar bisa menghasilkan UANG ?
Sebelum Anda menjawabnya, mari saya ajak Anda untuk melihat beberapa informasi yang berhubungan dengan Trend INTERNET MARKETING di Asia terutama di Indonesia.Menurut data statistik terakhir, total pengguna INTERNET dunia adalah
1,114,274,426 orang, dan populasi terbesar adalah dari Asia ( 398,709,065 orang) BUKAN dari Amerika.Dari data tersebut, kita lihat lagi berdasarkan negara-negara yang terdekat dengan Indonesia:
Jepang - pengguna INTERNET 86,300,000 - penetrasi 67.1% - bertumbuh 83.3%
Malaysia - pengguna INTERNET 13,528,200 - penetrasi 47.8% - bertumbuh 265.6%
Singapura - pengguna INTERNET 2,421,000 - penetrasi 66.3% - bertumbuh 101.8%
Indonesia - pengguna INTERNET 18,000,000 - penetrasi 8% - bertumbuh 800%
Besarnya pasar orang-orang yang berbelanja online angkanya juga sangat besar, yaitu US$170 milyar tahun 2006 apalagi di tahun ini angkanya jauh lebih dahsyat.
Pertumbuhan terbesar pemakai INTERNET adalah dari Indonesia dalam 6 tahun terakhir, yaitu 800%.
Dan angka terpenting yang perlu Anda lihat adalah tingkat penetrasi INTERNET di Indonesia adalah masih sangat rendah, yaitu hanya 8%.
Jika dibandingkan dengan negara tetangga, tingkat penetrasi mereka sudah di atas 47%, serta pertumbuhan mereka juga tidak sedahsyat di Indonesia. Artinya potensi pertumbuhan pemakai INTERNETdi Indonesia adalah sangat sangat besar. Angka 800% ini bisa menggelembung lebih besar lagi, karena penetrasi pengguna INTERNET di Indonesia baru 8%.Apalagi didorong oleh makin murahnya tarif INTERNET di Indonesia, dan makin baiknya infrastruktur INTERNET di Indonesia.
Satu lagi trend terbaru yang perlu Anda ketahui dalam dunia internet ini, yaitu Google, sebagai salah satu raksasa bisnis Internet yang berlokasi di Amerika, sudah datang ke Asia Tenggara, dengan membuka kantor cabangnya di Singapura (sumber Business Week - 4 May 2007).
Raksasa situs pencari Google, sudah melihat betapa besarnya peluang dan potensi dari bisnis internet di regional ini, sehingga Google segera mempersiapkan kantor cabangnya di Asia Tenggara.Berdasarkan data-data di atas, Anda bisa lihat sendiri, bahwa Indonesia berada pada posisi yang sangat strategis, karena pertumbuhan pengguna INTERNET di Indonesia siap untuk meledak menjadi 80-100 juta pemakai INTERNET dalam waktu yang sangat dekat, karena berbagai faktor pendukung seperti tarif yang makin murah, dan makin banyaknya pilihan untuk akses internet dari dial-up, ADSL, Wifi, kabel, GPRS, 3G, dan lainnya.
Anak muda sekarang yang menjadi future market semakin sering mengucapkan kata-kata seperti ini, "Lihat di INTERNET aja" atau "Cari di INTERNET aja". Apapun...mulai dari membandingkan harga gadget, booking tiket pesawat, lihat berita terkini, lihat iklan penjualan rumah atau mobil, beli macam-macam barang, dan masih banyak lagi.
"APAPUN BISNISNYA, INTERNET TEMPAT JUALANYA".
Pertanyaannya, Apakah Anda siap untuk menangkap peluang dan potensi yang akan datang dengan cepat ini ke Indonesia ini?
Luck = Preparation + Opportunity (Keberuntungan = Persiapan + Peluang)
