This make money online article is guest posted by Dan. When it comes to content for your business blog, it’s really all about what your readers want. This may seem counterintuitive; after all, you’re writing about your business, so shouldn’t you be the one to decide what to write about? Yes and no. At a high level, it is true that you’ll be writing about content that’s related to your industry. But within your chosen subject, you should write content that is useful primarily to your readers and that answers the main question when they’re on your blog: “What’s in it for me?” The type of content that works best on a blog is very different from the content you’d include on your website. Your website is best for outlining details and specifications about your products or services or as a place to give general information about your company. In comparison, while your blog can still be related to the products or services you sell, it should offer something that adds value to your readers without asking anything from them in return. Rather than writing a post that outlines the benefits of one of your products, write a post that mentions your product or industry in the context of something that adds value, such as unique research you’ve done or insights you have about your industry. If you sell accounting services, for example, don’t just talk about the great value pricing you offer on your accounting services; rather teach your readers how to file their tax returns or provide objective critiques of popular automated tax software products. When your blog content adds value to your readers without trying to push your products or services on them, they’re more likely to associate your brand with quality and usefulness. In turn they’re more likely to become loyal readers who will return to your blog for the insights you provide. The best part about all of this is that if your insights lead your customers to want to know more about your product, they’re more likely to convert from readers to customers, which in turn grows your business even further.

Comments OffBlogger Gets a Facelift
When my mind turns to thoughts of that great squid Google wrapping its tentacles around the world, I always forget that the barnacled tendril known as Blogger / Blogspot is still waving and swaying out there on the Internet. Many people I know started blogging with Blogspot but were ultimately lured away by other more dynamic offerings. Nonetheless, Blogger has remained one of the largest, most popular blogging hubs on the Web, despite not having any significant updates since 2006. Google realized that Blogger was getting a little neglected and consequently rolled out a new user interface. The Blogger code has been rewritten from scratch in order to accommodate advances in web publishing technology and unify the service with Google’s larger design aesthetic. Great! What does that mean? Google is pushing hard to integrate all the tendrils of its ever-growing enterprise. This substantial Blogger update is phase one of a rebranding effort that also includes the upgrades to the photo service Picasa and the public release of Google Plus. That means, if you use Google, all your services are becoming tightly integrated. If you blog on Blogspot, you’ll be able to pull that post and publicize it on Google+ instantly. What about loot? A big part of the integration is the addition of Adsense / Adwords into the Blogger universe. Google makes most of its billions of dollars from advertising and millions of bloggers have joined the party. There is lots of money to be had, and the updated Blogger platform makes it easier than ever. The inclusion of AdWords in Blogger will also make the platform prime for remarketing initiatives. Having a blog site that is ready for this marketing innovation gives you a more streamlined experience in tracking revenue generated by display ads since it’s all handled under the Google umbrella. Perhaps the biggest change, and the one that really brings Blogger up to speed, is the fact that it has been recoded in HTML5, making the blogging experience accessible on mobile devices and web browsers. This is something other blog-service providers have been doing for quite some time, but it is done well here on Blogger in spite of its tardiness. Templates, designs and format translate really well to mobile screens. Google seems to have taken some cues from effective iPhone app development , and have translated their killer Google Plus design over to iOS. The Blogger app for iOS is only available in iPhone-size, so iPad users will have to wait. It is nice to be able to blog in a real way on mobile, though. I used to think the idea was strange – how would I ever throw together a post on the fly, never mind with just my thumbs? – but then I tried and it’s remarkably cathartic, especially for someone who broods over a 100-word post. I hear people are satisfied with the iPhone version, and the Android version has caught some flak. I can say with confidence that the Droid X runs well on Blogger, so if you have a mobile device and haven’t yet dipped into the world of mobile blogging, give it a shot, it just might change you. Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with the Blogger upgrades. It’s a super simplified platform that works really well for individuals looking to start their first blog. The super-fast setup time and ease of use make it a no-frills system but professional bloggers will likely furrow their brows at the lack of customization options and premium features offered by other hosting sites. If you already have a neglected Blogspot domain (don’t worry, we all do) I’d fire it up and see if any of the updates appeal to you; it really is a much better environment for writing, publishing and following blogs across the Internet. © Make Money Online

This make money online article is guest posted by Peter Reynolds Although you can find dozens of ad servers through a simple Internet search, Google’s AdSense is the best in the business. In June of 2003, AdSense took the marketplace by storm and hasn’t relinquished its control yet. Most of the top blogs and websites you’ll find around the web today all have one thing in common – AdSense ads. The process is extremely simple to understand. You sign up for a Google AdSense account, submit your site, and if accepted, you will receive generated codes (html scripts usually) for the types of ads you prefer. With Google ads, you can adorn your site with banners (rectangular ads by the header or footer), skyscrapers (tall, slender ads running down the side), buttons (small, box-shaped ads), and even in-video overlays and other fantastic ad types. AdSense offers pay-per-click advertising, meaning that you will receive money every time a valid click is recorded, and also pay-per-impression, which logs your site’s visitors and pays out in more of a bulk fashion. Overall, AdSense can be extremely lucrative based on your particular site’s traffic, and millions are using it. One big problem, however: Many people are being denied by Google AdSense! If you’re attempting to make some money online and are thinking of employing AdSense to beef up your odds, make sure you read these tips before submitting your site to Google. As a company, Google is becoming extremely selective about whom they’ll let into their coveted ranks. So before you get started, make sure you set the stage to impress the marketing giant. Five Easy AdSense Tips 1. Completion First The first step in this process should be to make sure that your site is completed. Make sure your site is fully operational, meaning that all the graphics, content and other odds and ends work and are finalized. 2. No Copyrighted Content Google may or may not put your site under a microscope. But in case they do, make sure you have zero copyrighted content on your site. This will be an instant rejection. 3. No Outdated Content Google doesn’t waste their time much these days with poorly maintained sites. If you have old, out-of-date content, your site will come across as if no one maintains it. 4. No Profane Material AdSense doesn’t get along well with profane sites. If you have any X-rated material on your site or even anything that can be deemed offensive (bigotry as an example), Google will reject you in a second. 5. No Domain Conflict You need to outright own your domain for at least 90 days before Google will accept your site for AdSense. This isn’t always the case with a blog, as a blog address is a shared address on the particular blog’s servers (think Blogger). But for legitimate websites, you need to wait. Be patient and take this time to create and present a good site. When marketing a website of any kind, whether it’s a personal blog or a legitimate e-store, patience is paramount. Build your site, test it, traffic it a bit, make sure you work out all the bugs, take care of your content, and then submit to Google. Once they see what a great site you have, they’ll gladly approve you.

This make money online article is guest posted by Alia Haley Now as we move ahead from email marketing, mobile marketing seems to be making a wider space in our lives. And with social networking in a boom, the blend of social media and mobile marketing can work wonder in capitalizing your business. If you check the figures of adoption rate of Smartphones in US alone, it’s incredible, and similar is the story in Europe and other developing nations. You will find more and more users to be comfortable in accessing the internet using high end cell phone devices. Any Tom, Dick and Harry uses popular social networking websites.It’s easy to target the prospective consumer by bringing these two things together. The following are the ways of incorporating the marketing techniques in the mobile interface: Keep it simple You all know how the social content is different from the web content, while considering the mobile content, the distinction goes the double. Make sure you do not make the QR code link confined to your website page or the Facebook account page. When developing a mobile content, make sure it’s easy to access, share and appreciate. If it fails to meet these requirements, you hardly can yield any result from it. Think the Glance and Go factor It is worth to rely on the QR codes since capturing an image of anything is quicker and a natural choice than searching anything on the web pages or searching for any place on any position based social network. You may get a number of technologies in the future which enables the mobile users to communicate with their surroundings. However, as of now, QR codes rule the world by giving you a fast and most popular connection tools. Let the context dictate the content When you develop content for mobile users, ensure that it is useful and addressed to the consumers of the same demography. Don’t offer things which are beyond their reach and too far to get. On the contrary, you should use location as a means to nip content to make it more relevant. So offer them as per their taste and region specific. It’s just a start You cannot afford to give your prospective consumers complex forms to be filled via their mobile web. Remember it’s just a beginning; you need many interactions with them before they convert into your customer. To be perfect on this, you need to cater your users with tasty piece of content and give them opportunities to connect with your brand with other channels in the coming time. Final Word: Earlier, people used to complain a lot about email being used by marketing people to flood their inboxes. We have now evolved to a life which is dominated by social media and mobile marketing. However, with social media and mobile marketing things are seen in a different angle. Now, mobile marketing is not called a kind of interference in the consumer’s life; rather it is seen more as a customer friendly addition. With these ideas in mind, you can try the above listed things. Alia Haley is a blogger who is a tech freak.

This article is guest posted by Lauren Bailey Before launching a product, marketers should have a very strong sense of the market for that product and how potential buyers will evaluate whether or not they should purchase the product, whether it’s software, an e-book, or even just web content or ads. In other words, having just a good product will not be enough to successfully make a name for your company in its niche. You’ll also need to manage the product after its release, which means knowing into what kind of world this product is going to be released. As you get ready to launch the product, think about some of the concerns you should have about your intended consumers. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself about your customers’ spending habits so you can better understand them: Who is in charge of the purchase? The first person you have to account for is the person in charge of the money, as he or she will ultimately decide whether or not to release the funds in order to make the purchase. Look at your product and examine how the person in charge of buying it will view it. Will he or she see it as a must-have item? Or will he or she perceive it as a luxury product? How you adjust your product’s price and marketing campaign will depend on how you imagine the buyer’s perception of your product. Where does the money come from? Second, think about the budgets of your targeted consumers. If you’re selling a product to an industry that is suddenly cutting out funds for, say, contracting out internet technology support, and that’s your product, then you’re going to have to come up with another way to address that barrier. Likewise, if your product is for parents, then try to figure out ways that you can soften its impact on their budget. Are the purchaser and the user different? This is a rather complicated sort of purchase because you’re trying to address the requirements of two different people. For example, if your product is a toy, then you have to please the parent who buys the toy and you have to please the child who wants the parent to buy the toy. This, naturally, complicates how you will manage the product. Likewise, if your product Is this a new purchase for your consumer? Finally, you have to consider how the purchase is being made. If it’s a new purchase, for example a new purchase for the consumer, such as a first car, then your client will naturally have quite a few more questions and unknowns to address. However, if it’s a routine purchase, such as groceries or some other regular necessity, then your consumer might have fewer questions but a narrower range of options, as dictated by, for example, brand loyalty. Of course, these are only four very general questions; plenty of other questions stem off of them or originate throughout the product design and marketing process. What are some other questions that you try to ask yourself about your targeted audience? Please feel free to share these in the comments section.

Many people run an online blog, but relatively few of them are either popular or profitable. Often, people simply write blogs for friends and family or even just for their own amusement. However, if you want your blog to be something more than an online journal or diary, what can you do? This article looks at key components to consider if you want to run a popular, profitable blog. Have a specific subject Firstly, it really helps if there is a specific subject or area about which you can write with authority. This will help your blog to gain credibility and also build up a dedicated readership that is interested in what you have to say. You don’t need to be an expert in anything complicated in order to run a blog (although if you are, this could definitely be useful!). As long as there is something you are interested in and can talk about, you could make a success of your blog. For instance, perhaps you’re setting up your own business and want to share the journey, or maybe you work for a good cause that deserves attention, or perhaps you’re going through life changes that could make for an excellent story. All of these could make very popular blogs. Market it properly The next thing to consider is your marketing. If you want your blog to be popular and profitable, you need to make sure people actually know about it. This means it’s important to update your blog regularly to keep the content relevant. You might also want to consider setting up accounts on social networking sites such as Twitter or Facebook to promote your blog to different audiences. Appreciate your readers Something else that’s vital to running a popular blog is to appreciate your readers. They are much more likely to invest their time in your blog if they feel that you are interested in them and are grateful for their readership. Make sure you reply to comments so people can see you’re paying attention and, when your blog gets more popular, you could even run competitions to keep people’s interest. Whether or not you want your blog to be profitable, keeping up with your readers is essential. Run ad campaigns When it comes to making money from your blog, one of the most important things to do is to set up advertising campaigns. You can generally do this through programs such as Google AdSense, which you can sign up for and then display ads on your blog. When people click those ads, you then earn money from them. Obviously, the more people that click them, the more you will earn – so it is definitely in your interests to make your blog as popular as possible. Link up with other blogs Something else you could do to help your blog be both more popular and profitable is to link up with other blogs. You might, for instance, be able to earn money by writing guest posts for other people’s blogs, or for including links to their blogs on your site. This will also help to attract a wider readership, growing your blog and its success even further.
