Content Marketing And Blogging Traffic Magnets

The wide range of other ways that we have used content marketing has made its true meaning a little inconspicuous especially to those who are new to the online marketing industry. Most of us are probably familiar with blogs, emails, newsletters, videos, images and banners but rarely do we hear or give importance to content marketing as it is. Although it is a general term which includes all of the previously mentioned marketing strategies, there is way more to content than most of us believe.

Online content are all the things we put in our sites that give viewers and visitors that unique experience or perception of what we are trying to say, offer or be. For many marketers, focusing on a single form of content has become a really effective way of selling uniqueness. Sadly, this is what we also believe. The idea that one type of content stands out among the rest has led to the previous misconception of understanding how content marketing really works. In other words, we are led to believe that using a single type of content is good enough to help our online marketing business blog or site instead of using all the different types of content available out there.

How Should You Use Your Content?

There are different types of content but all of them serve a single purpose - to capture the attention of viewers. It is important for you, as the website owner, to understand how important your viewers' attention is to your site. Making use of various contents in synergy with one another is the best way of maximizing the potentials of online content. With image in your articles and videos on you pages, you get to attract more viewers and capture more attention.

The Important Role Of Quality

It's not enough to attract people and grab their attention. The next best step is to keep them glued to your site. The only way to do this is by posting really good quality content. Remember that getting fish to bite your bait is not enough to guarantee a catch, you'd have to put constant pressure and timing before you get one. Same goes with your viewers. Fancy pictures, amazing videos and cool web design are only effective at capturing the eyes of readers. The next step will always rely on the quality of your work.

Content in Synergy

Aside from catching your viewers' attention, using various types of good quality content will also help you interact and communicate with your readers as they dig deeper into your site. In addition to the commonly used texts and images, videos and podcasts are two of today's more popular forms of multimedia content. These two are more effective at stimulating your viewers' minds and keeping all that information lingering inside their heads.

It's always important to look at the bigger picture. Growth is one of the best ways to adapt to change. Try to experiment with new forms of online marketing business blog or site but never forget to promote quality. This way, you get to the chance to show people that they could trust your site as you adapt to the changes of the online marketing industry.

Internet Marketing Speed produces only quality contents. They also offer services that will help you and your website gain traffic.

Why You Fail at an Online Business

If you've struggled to make a living online, but you are one of the 99% who do not, there are really only handful of reasons as to why.

1. You aren't a professional business person.

2. You aren't doing what your heart wants you to do.

3. You jump from opportunity to opportunity never allowing enough time for one to work.

4. You don't follow-through.

Does any of these reasons remind you of you? You aren't alone. 99% of all people trying to make a living online fail miserably, most do not make even a single dime.

Now it's true that you may have bought some sham, hyped up opportunity that couldn't deliver the goods if you gave it a car. Or perhaps you were "sold" by some fast-talking guru or salesperson. They made it sound like this was the next best thing since peanut butter, that it would put thousands of dollars into your pocket overnight and all you had to do was push a button or open a merchant or PayPal account and watch the money flow in. If you're one of those people, I feel for you, I fell for so many gimmicks and "next best things" that I lost count of how many "work from home," "work online," "make money online" and "internet marketing" programs I have bought. The total dollars I've spent runs well into the thousands of dollars.

But looking back on the programs I have bought, I realized that although there were some that were just nicely packaged (and sold) B.S, the majority had some merit. There was even a handful that were quite good.

So why couldn't I get them to work? Why wasn't I making any money?

The answer - for me at least - lies in one of the four reasons above, okay, I confess, all four. Maybe you don't suffer from the same roadblocks that had stopped me so many times, but I'm willing to bet that at least one of the four reasons above applies to you.

I won't discuss how to make an online business work; the reasons above are clues, and you probably have the materials you to make an online income you can live on anyway. You just aren't using them.
So let's dig a little deeper into the four reasons above.

1. You aren't a professional business person.

You don't have to be a professional business person to run a business online, but you do need some clue as to how to organize a business, how to track sales and inventory (even if you don't sell anything yourself), you need some knowledge of accounting, and most important, you need to know how to make sales.
If you don't know these things, trying to learn them while simultaneously trying to start a business is definitely the hard way to do it.

 

2. You aren't doing what your heart wants you to do.

This is the most amorphous of reasons and it's a reason which the vast majority of people - all people - never seem to get. And those who do report living in a kind of bliss. That was something I had always hoped to experience.

Your heart wants many things; a beautiful, big house, a fancy car, more money, better health, a trim, fit body. We know that most of these things are just hopes and dreams, they aren't something serious. But somewhere in your heart lies your perfect work, your true calling and your reason for living. It is what you were born for, made for and it is the purpose of your life.99% of all people never find it. When you don't obey this subconscious desire of your heart, you sacrifice the beauty and love that would otherwise be in your life. You sacrifice the prosperity and sense of abundance that is the natural state of the universe and you miss out on the great relationships, the beauty and the ecstasy of living life fully and you miss out on all the great friends you would have made.

Finding out what your heart is telling you to do is a perplexing challenge; discovering your mission in life is an odyssey for which many never reach the end.

3. You jump from opportunity to opportunity never allowing enough time for one to work.

This may be the one reason that may be common for the great majority of people. (Along with reason four) You don't give an online business, work from home or make money online opportunity enough time to build up momentum, to reach "critical mass" or to start making money. You abandon ship right before your ship sails into port. Before you get all uppity, you aren't alone. I suspect that we all have been there at one time or another, and many seem permanently stuck in this condition.

4. You don't follow-through.

This is the biggie. This is probably the greatest factor sabotaging your success at an online business. You buy something, take it home or download it and you take a quick look at it - and then you forget it. Oh, you may work at it for a few days or even a few weeks but after a certain amount of time, you give up on this opportunity believing it doesn't work or you've been ripped off or you just forget about and jump to the next "best thing."
This report isn't about how to resolve these questions. I am not here to tell you how to fix these things if any are active in your life. But with the internet, technology and the ongoing spread of creativity, sooner or later, there has to be a work from home business that takes these four reasons into consideration and resolves them completely. That may be a daunting challenge, but I believe there are at least two online businesses which do just that.

How do you resolve the four reasons that are holding you back from making money online? Discover the two businesses that resolve these questions. Two Secrets of Making Money Online

College Students Can Make Money Selling on Micro Job Sites

College students, and for that matter, college-aged kids, can make extra money by posting jobs on micro job sites. What types of jobs? Well that depends mostly on the individual's skill set and for college students, their major and courses they've studied. There are parallels for many different majors and the types of jobs that work and sell well on micro job sites and therefore, there are many opportunities for college students in a variety of majors.

So what are micro job sites?

These sites allow anyone to post jobs that typically cost under $20, but the most popular sites allow users to post jobs in the $5 to $10 range. Website-related services like SEO, article writing, link building, etc. are the most posted jobs, but basically any job (except for adult, illegal and gambling related jobs) goes and can turn into a best selling job! That's one of the main attractors of these sites; it's nearly impossible to tell which job will strike accord with the buyers that frequent these sites. The key is value and quality; if you're posting jobs that offer a quality service that will save the buyer time, you will sell jobs!

Why should college students post jobs on micro job sites?

There are several reasons why college students are perfect sellers on micro job sites and can therefore make money, but the big ones are their skills, ability to work when you can, being tech savvy and their ability to pick up things and learn quickly.

College Students Have Skills!

College students typically have many areas of expertise and have skills that most of the population doesn't have. Moreover, every individual has a unique skill set and all of this can be used to create jobs and fulfill orders in a way to actually make them a decent hourly wage. The more unique and different a job is, the more views it will get and in turn, will sell more. By having multiple skills at your disposal, you can bundle them together and create some ingenious jobs that people will want to buy at a low price. The trick then is to figure out a way to offer something unique in a relatively quick fashion. That's up to every individual to figure out!

Selling on a Micro Job Site offers Time Flexibility

College students typically have ever-changing schedules and selling jobs on micro job sites allow them to work when they can and fulfill orders for their services when they come in. This way, they can work an hour at a time when they have free time instead of needing a multiple hour long block of time to "punch in" to make money.

College Students have grown up with Technology

Because college students have grown up with technology, many of the types of jobs that sell frequently on micro job sites are either second hat to them or can be picked up quickly and leveraged to make money. One of the reasons micro job sites have remained popular is because the buyers would rather pay someone who already knows how to do something a bit of money than have to learn how to do it and then actually do it. Having a wide-based skill set allows you to post more high quality jobs in a variety of areas and you'll sell more than someone with 1 job related to 1 specialty.
If you're a college student and you're looking to make money online in the free time that you have, consider posting jobs to micro job sites. You can sell jobs based on the knowledge you have right now and based on the skills you possess!

I currently write for the Tenrr Blog and you can find a much more in depth article about online jobs for college students in terms of selling on micro job sites to make money there.


Tenrr is a free micro job site, which allows college students to earn even more money than on other similar sites because no commission is taken from their successful sales.

Simple Way For Beginners To Make Money Blogging By Following The 6 Core Principles

I used to think it was hard to figure out how to make money blogging. That was until I got good at it. Well if you are reading this article that means you are not good at blogging. And that's OK. I used to be where you are.

If you follow these 6 core principles on blogging you should be well on your way to actually making money blogging. I do have to give a little disclaimer. There obviously are no guarantees when it comes to that. However I'm going to share with you what has worked for me.

Let's jump right in.

1. Post On Purpose For Profit

Don't just sit down and start writing any old thing. You want to know before you start blogging what's your intent. If you are trying to make money then make sure you are posting on purpose so you can turn a profit.

Don't blog about going to a movie and drinking Starbucks that day if your target audience is not interested and if you can't turn that into a compelling story to get people to buy whatever it is that you are selling.

2. Know What Action You Want Your Visitors To Take

Whatever you focus on the most you get. So if you don't focus on what action you want your visitors to take, then guess what? Nothing will happen. Do you want them to opt in to your list, buy, pick up the phone to call you, exit the page?

Be clear on what you want them to do. Depending on what product you are selling on your blog your intention could be for them to buy right away. Whatever it is just set it in your mind.

3. Proper Keyword Research

I'm not going to spend too much time on this section. Basically we live in a search based world. People are always searching for answers online. What I'd suggest is you go to Google's keyword tool, type in a keyword related to your niche audience, and find other keywords related to it. Make sure though these are keywords that state a problem that you can solve for them.

For example thousands of people type in how to make money blogging. Since I know how to do it I'm writing this article giving a solution to your problem.

4. Create Content That Is Compelling

Now that you know your intentions and what your niche's problem is, create content that is compelling around it. I usually do this by giving them value and telling stories. People love stories.
We could care less about facts and figures. But if you know how to tell a story that draws people in that relates your point, then you will began to make money blogging.

5. Offer Your Solution

I usually do this in the last few sentences. The key to this is to go into a smooth transition that doesn't break the flow of the blog post. It can be a direct command or an indirect command for them to opt in now, buy now, or whatever you want them to do. Just make sure that whatever you have to offer will fix their problem.

6. Promote Like Crazy

None of this is any good if you don't promote your content. Think of it as if you are throwing a party. Nobody knows about your party unless you text friends, let people know on Facebook, call a few people, etc.
It's the same way with a blog post. You need to promote it like crazy. Social media sites, email list, even forums or places that your target audience hangs out. Just get the word out in as many places as you can.
 
That's really it. I generally follow these 6 core principles whenever I write a blog post with an intent on making money from it. I challenge you to do this for 90 days and see if you notice a difference in your results.

Why 90 days? Because when you are blogging you can't expect to see a noticeable change in 30 days or less.

Now that you've gotten most of my proven strategies, I still have a little sneaky secret that allows me to get first page rankings and make money blogging. To see what it is click here.

5 Great SEO Tips

 

SEO is a way to get more visitors to your website – specifically visitors from search
engines. Here are four great tips for fantastic SEO.

1. Use Adwords Vouchers

Using adwords vouchers creates a list of links back to your website - all with your
chosen keywords. Adwords vouchers are a free way to create a large number of very
relevant temporary links back to your website. You can evaluate the vouchers to see if the
amount of money you earn from visitors generated the vouchers is covered by the cost of
the vouchers. If it is, it's worth continuing with the adwords after the vouchers have
expired.

2. Read SEO Books

SEO books are a great source of information about SEO. Find out how to do SEO by
reading SEO books. When selecting a book make sure it covers topics like:
* Keyword research. How to choose great keywords for your website. The two keyword
tools above would be very useful for finding out good keywords for your website.
* On page SEO. How to ensure that the content in your website is search engine
optimised.
* Link building. How to build links from other websites to your own. This and on-page
SEO are the two fundamentals of SEO.
* Competitive research. How to research search engine optimisation using websites
which are similar to your website.
Don't just read one SEO book. The more books you read, the more you can find out
about the subject. Different books have different strengths – so it's always worth reading
more than one book.

3. Use Keyword SEO tools

Google have a range of fantastic SEO tools including two different keyword tools. To find
out what the difference between the keyword tools are, here is some text from the Google
FAQ.The main difference between the Search-based Keyword Tool and the Keyword
Tool currently in AdWords is that the former generates keyword ideas based on your
website, and identifies those currently not being used in your AdWords account.
Additionally, the Search-based Keyword Tool provides more detailed data for each
keyword, such as category information, suggested bid that may place the ad in the top
three spots of a search results page, and ad/search share.

4. Create Backlinks

Creating backlinks is one of the basics of search engine optimisation. It's fundamental.
A rule of thumb is the more backlinks your website has, the more visitors it will have. A
good way to get more backlinks is to have great content – the better your website, the
more people will want to link to it.

5. Search Engine Optimise the Content

Make sure that the content on the website is search engine optimised. Search engines
work out what your website is about by looking at the text within the pages. So make sure
that the text within your website contains lots of words which describe what your website
is about. The more the content in your website reflects what your website is about, the
more the search engines can drive visitors to your website.
