Six Figure Blog Marketing
Published July 5, 2010 | 
Blog marketing is sweeping the internet world. It is something that most every marketer is doing and using to make an income, whether it be a niche blog, a review site or another way for them to connect with their customers. There are some that are even six figure bloggers.
How do you become a six figure blog marketer? Anyone that is making six figures with blog marketing is not very likely to give up all of their secrets, unless they can sell it to you in an ebook or ecourse. However, if you are serious about making that amount of money, you could be a six figure blog marketing guru as well.
Six figure blog marketing is usually not accomplished with one single blog. It normally will take many, many blogs (not every blog can be the next Mashable) to create a six figure income and, if you have the funds and the resources, it can be done quickly. The first thing that you need to do is find out the markets that are low in competition but are high in monthly searches. Doing so will give you a great idea of what niches you should be marketing in your blog and what niches you should stay away from.
Finding a niche market that is barely touched by other marketers, yet has a great monthly search volume, is the best thing to do. However, you then have to decide if the niche markets that you have discovered are ones that you are interested in. Some start out with things that they know first and get great results, whether they are their pre-qualified niche markets or not.
When the goal is six figure blog marketing, you are going to find out real fast that outsourcing some work to others is not a bad idea. Doing all of the work yourself is not something that is possible when you are wanting to make that amount of money. Just be sure that you hire those that you can trust or have a great reputation for getting work done on time and accurately. You will not want your workers to put you behind schedule.
While you are planning to outsource some of your work to others, you may want to decide and get an outline of just what is needed and the priority. Perhaps you need someone to set up your many blogs, or maybe you need someone else to write the content for the blogs. You can easily find experts on particular markets that you are wanting to blog about and pay them for the rights to their articles. Then post them as needed on your blog.
When you start looking to make a six figure income with your blogs, you are going to see that you will need to be sure that they are all updated in a timely manner. You are going to have to update them as often as possible, and maybe even hire help to be sure that everything goes smoothly with that as well.
Making a six figure income with blogs is the ideal work at home job. You make great money, and have great people working for you. Just be sure that you hire those that know what they are doing and are fluent in the language that you are marketing in as well. Someone that speaks and writes poor English will not help your income, but may hurt it if you have English based readers.
Some of you are thinking that you don’t have the capital to start a bunch of blogs and pay for outsourcing. You don’t have to…
If your budget is limited, start off small. Build one or more blogs that you can handle by yourself. As those blogs start to make money, then add more sites. Use outsourcing as it becomes necessary and affordable. Sure, you’re not going to get to six figures overnight with this method, but you will be building a business that will have you on the road to those six and possibly even seven figure years.

Get Your Blog Seen
Published June 22, 2010 | Having a blog and making it known to cyber-world is not as easy as it may seem. Many people think that they can write it or build it and they will come. This is not the case at all. Just because you put something out there on the web doesn’t mean that it will be seen at all. There are some things that you can do to ensure that your blog will be seen and seen by many. Blog marketing is really only as hard as you make it.
Building links for your blog will definitely help get it out there and get it known. However when you are trying to build a customer base and get your blog known, just a few links are rarely enough. You will need to continue to work on your blog and get links to it all of the time. The more the better in this case. Also keep in mind the higher authority sites, the more links you can get from the high authority sites the better your blog is going to be in terms of page rank and SEO. Obtaining links is something that you will never stop doing. While you may take a short break, you will never be done.
Adding videos if possible to your blog is also a great technique that you can use for blog marketing. This is because you can then submit your blog to the video directories. So if there are any videos that will fit into the market of your blog it would be to your advantage in the blog marketing world to add them. Then submitting your blog to all of the directories that it would fit in would be a great plus for your blog.
If you created those videos yourself (or had rights to them), you can also add them to video sharing sites, like Youtube, and create backlinks to your article from the description on those sites.
If you have funds for your blog marketing campaign, you should most definitely use those to submit your blog to the paid directories. Google trusts the paid directory sites, and they know that money was used to get your blog into those sites. They will also use the fact that not all paid directories will take just any site or blog. No matter how much money you have. So, seeing if you can qualify for their blog standards will be something that you can use as well and get you in with the best sites and blogs on the web.
Using a press release as part of your blog marketing is another way that you can get your blog out there. For a fee, you can have a press release written about your blog and then submitted to all of the hot off the press news sites. Your blog will get many hits from a press release and having it linked to these kind of sites will also help the page rank substantially as well. While the cost of a press release will range from the company or person that you have do them, many times they are affordable and will fit easily into a marketing budget. You can also do your own PR work, but outsourcing it is more effective and quicker.
Using discussion boards such as forums and message boards with your blog link in your signature is still a great way to get your blog out there and known. Be sure that the message board that you post on is relevant to your blog or chances are that no one will be interested in clicking on your link. Also, if you come off as an expert in your market, you should have no problems attracting new readers to your blog from the use of message board posting. This can also be a great way to market a website and get it out there to be seen by the world.
Find other blogs that are in the same market as yours and leave the writers comments. This will take them back to your blog and will also take their readers there as well. Doing this will bring some more traffic and is a great way to get your blog seen. Make your comments relevant and knowledgeable to the topic. If you add to the discussion, you will get more traffic from your comment links.
Follow all of these tips for easy blog marketing and you will bring more readers to your blog in no time.

Successful Blog Marketing Tips
Published May 13, 2010 | So you have a blog and want to market it and make it a success. How do you go about getting your blog out there to be seen and known by others? How do you draw readers in and keep them coming back for more? There are many ways to get your blog out there and known by others. This can be a challenge for some and quite easy for others.
If you have ever had a successful blog before then you know what it takes. You are not going to get anywhere by just setting up a blog and hoping that people will find it and read it. You are not going to gain any links or a higher search engine ranking by just having a blog. This is all part of blog marketing and anyone can do it… Even you!
Successful blog marketing tip number one. When you first create a blog, of course it is unheard of. No one knows anything about the blog unless you give them the link and show it to them. However, for a new blog that has never been seen, there are many ways to get it out there and known. You just need to know how.
The first thing that you can do is to allow RSS feeds be taken from your blog. Allow other websites and blogs to publish your same exact post. When you do this, they are giving you a link back to your blog, and also telling their readers all about your blog. You will get more traffic than ever with this tool. RSS feeds are wonderful for promoting and getting your blog out there.
Blog marketing tip number two. Post updates to your blog frequently. I can not put enough emphasis on this tip. If you tell your readers that you are going to update your blog daily, then do it. If you tell them that you will be writing in your blog weekly, don’t let them down. Your readers are what makes your blog successful.
You may not realize this in the beginning, and you will have few readers in the beginning as well, but you will eventually build a readership base and have people checking out your blog on a regular basis. Maybe you do not plan on telling your readers how often you will update your blog. That is fine too. I actually recommend it. However, think about this, if you were reading a blog on a weekly basis, and you expected to see the blog that you like to read updated at least once a week, you would be very disappointed to find out that it was not. Sure, things happen that might prevent you from updating, and that is expected, and excused, but week after week can hurt you and cause you to lose readers.
Successful marketing tip number three. While you are working on your readership base, and trying to gain readers, you are going to find that commenting on blogs that are relevant to yours will surely help. Find a blog that is on the same topic to yours, or close to it and leave comments. You can also make a track back with your blog postings to comment on your own blog. Doing so will probably more than likely give someone else the urge to track back to your blog, which will be good for it as well. Commenting on blogs that get many comments will make yours be seen by those interested in that market. You will gain traffic and readers that way, and it is easy as well as free.
The fourth blog marketing tip. Learn and apply SEO to your blogs. SEO is search engine optimization. You are going to find that if you want your blog to go anywhere, you need SEO, and you need to know how to use it to the advantage of your blog. Just like a website, a blog will be better off optimized.
WordPress offers several plug-ins that address SEO issues. The most popular is the All-in-one SEO pack. I have used it in the past, but found another that I prefer now. Greg’s High Performance SEO gives options for secondary headlines, summaries, head keywords and more. Plain and simply, it does more for your blog’s SEO.
Hope these tips help. More on SEO and link building coming soon.
