The internet is a beautiful invention. Typically you need to offer a service or have a product people want in order to be profitable. Well, the internet introduces a new way to generate income online. The newest home based business anyone can do is... blogging. You can generate income without any product and without offering any service. You just write your opinions, good or bad, people may or may not agree with you but the point is your getting paid to write what you think. This is a spectacular thing because just about every one can do it. Every person that can check e-mail can now profit online just by writing what you think.
Now with that in mind a lot of people have their own blog. You have to separate yourself from the pack, and the best way to do that is to follow a blog mentor or coach. think of it as an investment in your business. Think about any professional athlete or olympian they all have good coaching, more often than not, that is what sets them a part from the competition.
Here are a few rules of thumb to get started blogging, however in order to start earning good money online you will have to invest in your business and yourself at some time. Whether that's obtaining a mentor or coach, or just budgeting for a domain name to make your blog look more qualified.
1. Creativity
Many people feel that inorder to have a blog that stands out, they have to be really creative. While creativity is beneficial you just have to be yourself and don't go crazy trying to get interest. People can tell when you're trying to hard. Relax and blog about something you have fun with writing about.
2. Determine the Difference
Take a look at your competition, basically any other blog that is touching on the same issue. What fresh point of view are your competitors missing out on? Often times you can see something that another blogger is touching on but not capitalizing on. They may be too busy writing the blog to see it, while you have the advantage of an outside view and a clean slate. What they miss may be your ticket to a niche that works.
3. Regular Blog Posting
Make no mistake if you do not regularly post to your blog it will not continually bring in traffic. Having a consistent pattern of blog posting will allow your readers to know what to expect or even if they can rely on you for any future updates. The more you post the greater the chance that you will be able to develop a favorite blog within the readers of your certain niche.
4. Accept and Respond to Comments
Keep in mind your blog is a social community or you at least want your visitors to feel that way. In other words it is unquestionably necessary that you allow comments on your site. When visitors post comments, take the time to read them. They will tell you what is on the readers' mind and can give you more guidance as far as to what type of topics are most interesting to them. There will also be comments that may call for your response for that reason respond appropriately and help to promote an atmosphere where commenting is encouraged and people feel involved.
5. About You
Do not leave this page blank since it is your opportunity to introduce yourself to the viewers. Your followers are always interested in knowing something about the person whose work they are reading. This also helps to increase a little more familiarity with your website visitors thus giving the blog a more personal feel. Your bio should be quick and should include things like why you blog and any other information that may be related to the blog theme. Adding a picture is also helpful, however if you are uncomfortable with that then a suitable avatar will work just fine.
