This is the fifth post in the new blog expert series called: Successful Corporate Blogs and we talk about a technique that many people ignore.
Many internet marketers discuss ways of building loyal fans. That is improtant I agree but…if you want to build a bigger income…you need to build loyal relationships.
I truely believe successful Internet marketing is not only about building strong relationships with potential customers (i.e. loyal fans), it’s also about building relationships with other people within your niche.
When it comes to monetizing a blog you have a lot of options. If you know your audience and are good at marketing, you can try and sell your own advertising. Another alternative is to place advertisements on your site through Google Adsense. Depending on what type of web site you run, your results will vary. In this post we will break down Google Adsense and see if it’s right for your blog?
This is the fourth post in the new blog expert series called: Successful Corporate Blogs and we talk about a technique that many people are scared to take on board!
You see…it’s no good being a mouse online…you won’t be heard.
Being bold, brash and unique and even controversial will get you noticed.
To get your message across loud and clear means having confidence in yourself and your products.
Millions of people are online searching for answers to their questions and problems. Somebody is looking for a solution to a problem that you may have the answer to, but how do you find each other?
We’re off…the first post in the new blog series called: Successful Corporate Blogs.
And this first one is about writing for your audience.
Remember the old saying, “If you throw enough mud at the wall some of it will stick”?
If you’re an amateur plasterer that may work quite effectively but if you’re an internet marketer it won’t work – you have to choose your walls very carefully.
What I’m saying here is if you aim your marketing at receptive people who are interested in your products your efforts will stick – and a lot more effectively.

Today (or on the day it happened – just depends upon when you read this), you will see thousands of bloggers writing about the death of Steve Jobs. Many because they want to and many because they think that by writing about his death, they will get more blog traffic.
And for many their blog traffic will increase.
And many of us will remember exactly where we were when we first heard the dreadful news.
Just like…
Where were you, when John Lennon was shot by Mark Chapman?

“At last! At last!” I hear many of you saying.
Joel and I both agree!

Though search traffic is highly targeted and cost-effective, there are other options that should also be considered in web promotion. The following are strategies you can use to generate targeted and profitable web traffic.
Blogging
There are numerous reasons why you should use a blog for building an online audience. First, it is an ideal way of putting a face to your message. Secondly, it enables you to reach the market instantly with your message. Blog services such as Technorati can offer great traffic. Remember to be a valuable and active commenter in the blogs of leading influencers in your niche.
Here in the UK, we’re just passing the longest day of the year already, and it seems like only a few weeks since the winter passed and spring arrived.
One of the best parts of the warmer weather is that you can get out in the garden and see to all of the jobs that you wouldn’t do in winter, like planting up pots and baskets, clearing the flowerbeds and mowing the lawn.
I was out in the garden the other day having a tidy up, and it struck me just how similar gardening and blogging actually are.
Have you been practicing your communication skills today?
Have you spent a good proportion of your day answering e-mails, calling people up, responding to blog comments and posting up comments of your own?
If the answer is no, it could be that you’ve become caught up in your business, wondering about how to enhance your products or services instead of keeping your customers happy.
The Fundamental Trait
While both sides of running an online business are important, communication is fundamental.
Without it, our customers begin to feel unloved, and you run the risk of them drifting away to another, more friendly, service provider.
The WordPress guys are busily working away on the next version, 3.2. Many blog owners are excited and it is expected to be available by the end of June 2011. Some will download and install the second it is available BUT…
With this new version there are some fundamental changes not just in look and feel but from a technical point as well. Your hosting company has to be ready.
The major change here is that WordPress 3.2 will require PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0 at a minimum.
How do you know if your hosting company provides such technology?
We all have our own ways of setting up our blog.
Some have the blog posts listed on the home page, some have a static page.
Some of us list our services…some of us have an about page (which I thoroughly recommend you do have).
But other than your blog posts, the most important pages are as follows. Google expects to see and will give your blog extra credence if they are found.
Privacy
This is the page where you tell your visitor what you do with any data they give you.
