20 Evergreen lessons on Make Money Blogging from motivational speaker

You know everyone thinks we’re fools, right? To most of the world, blogging is a joke. It isn’t a career. It isn’t a way to make money. It isn’t a tool for changing the world. It’s a hobby, a diversion, a fad that’ll come and go. Sure, you can start a blog, but don’t count on it to take you anywhere. That’s just silly.

20 Evergreen lessons on Make Money Blogging from motivational speaker 

Try telling your family or friends or coworkers you want to quit your job and make money blogging. They’ll smile politely and ask, “Does anybody really make money from that?” Yes, they want you to have dreams. Yes, they want you to chase them. Yes, they want you to succeed.

But they also want you to be “realistic.”

If you really want to improve your life, you should get an advanced degree, write a book, or even start your own business, not hang all your hopes and dreams on some stupid little blog. There’s no money in it.

Or is there? I’m hesitant to say this, but…

How Much your blog Earning per month ?

In January and February, we cleared over $100,000 per month in sales. The verdict is still out on March, but if we didn’t make it, we should be close enough.

How?

Well, I’ll tell you. Not because I want to brag (well, maybe a little), but because most of the advice out there about monetizing your blog is complete crap.

For instance, do you see any ads on this site?

No? How about e-books for sale?

None of those either, huh? In fact, you might be hard-pressed to find anything for sale at all.

There’s a reason why.

Over the past six years, I’ve had the good fortune to work with some of the smartest bloggers on the planet. I worked with Brian Clark as he built Copyblogger to a multimillion dollar brand. Neil Patel and Hiten Shah also hired me to help them launch the KISSmetrics blog, and while they’re not big on publishing revenue numbers, they did recently close a $7 million venture capital round.

Combined, I wouldn’t be surprised if both blogs have earned more than $50 million. In comparison, the $100,000 per month I’ve managed to generate is a pittance.

But everyone has to start somewhere, right?

The reason this blog has made so much money so fast is I learned from the best, and then when I left, I kept learning. Every day, I crunch numbers, read books, talk to experts, and spend at least 30 minutes in silence, staring into the distance, doing nothing but thinking.

It’s paid off. If you’ll take some of these lessons to heart, it’ll pay off for you too.

Because here’s the thing:

You’re Not a Fool. You Can Make Money Blogging.

So, you want to make a living teaching other people what you know? Nothing wrong with that.

Professors do it. So do public speakers and best-selling authors.

Hell, consulting is a $415 billion industry, and what are all those consultants doing?

Getting paid to teach. Blogging is no different. It’s just the same old models with some rocket fuel thrown in, courtesy of social media.

In fact, we might as well call that the first lesson:

Lesson #1: You’re Not Just a Blogger

You’re an expert, a teacher, a mentor, maybe even an entrepreneur. Your blog is simply a launchpad for all those things.

Look around, and you’ll find nearly all “bloggers” who make a decent income have books, courses, a side career as a keynote speaker, or even software. That’s how they make money. Their blog is just the “freebie” they give away to attract customers or clients.

Lesson #2: Don’t Sell Advertising

Selling ads is attractive, because it’s passive income, but you can usually make 3-10X more money using the same “ad space” to sell your own products and services or even promote an affiliate product.

Pat Flynn, for example, makes about $50,000 a month in commissions from promoting Bluehost.

Here at BBT, we mostly promote our own products, but we’re also in the process of creating affiliate sales funnels for LeadPages and Stablehost, both of which offer hefty commissions (and are great products too!)

Lesson #3: Build the Funnel in Reverse

We’ve all experienced sales funnels.

A company entices you with a freebie, then they offer you something cheap but irresistible, and then they gradually sweet talk you into buying more and more expensive stuff. It’s a tried and true marketing tactic, and you should absolutely build a sales funnel for your blog.

What you might not know is you should build it in reverse.

A lot of bloggers launch a cheap e-book as their first product, and then they get frustrated when they don’t make much money. Here’s why: the real profit is at the end of the funnel, not the beginning.

Selling e-books is fine and dandy if you have half a dozen more expensive products to offer your customer afterwards, but it’s downright silly if you don’t. You’re much better off creating and selling the expensive product first, and then gradually create cheaper and cheaper products.

When you do have some less expensive products to sell, you can offer those to new people first, safe in the knowledge that you have something more profitable up your sleeve to sell them later.

Here at BBT, our products cost $9,997, $997, and $591. We’re working our way down the funnel in reverse, releasing the most expensive products first and then gradually getting cheaper and cheaper. It’s been much, much more profitable this way.

Lesson #4: There’s No Such Thing As a “Cheap” Market

“But Jon,” I can hear you spluttering. “I can’t sell a $10,000 product! My customers don’t have that much money.”

My response: you’re 98% right. Unless you’re selling exclusively to multimillionaires, the vast majority of your customer base won’t be able to afford premium products, but what’s interesting is it doesn’t matter. Often times, you can make more money selling to the 2% than you can to the entire 98% combined.

For instance, our $10,000 product is a year-long coaching program for writers – a group that’s not exactly known for their wealth, but I always fill all 10 spots within minutes of opening the program. Here’s why: I notify 40,000 writers about it. 2% of 40,000 is 800 people who might possibly buy a product in that price range. By only accepting 10, I’m creating a situation of extreme scarcity.

You can do the same thing, even if your list is much smaller. If you have 100 subscribers, chances are two of them might be willing to buy premium products or services from you, and those two will often pay you more money than the other 98 combined.

Lesson #5: By Charging Premium Prices, You Can Offer Premium Service

Feel guilty about charging that much money? You shouldn’t.

By charging premium prices, you can offer premium service, doing everything possible to help your customers get results. For example, with my coaching program, I get on the phone with students every week, review their homework, answer their questions, look at their blog, and guide them through every step of the process.

Could I put that same information in a $7 e-book? Sure, but I couldn’t give anyone one-on-one help at that price, and that’s what people who buy premium products and services are paying for.

Lesson #6: Deliberately Delay the Sale

Another big shift in thinking: rather than trying to push everyone to buy your products upfront, smart bloggers delay the sale.

I first heard this idea from Rand Fishkin over at Moz. They offer their blog readers a free trial to their Analytics and SEO software, but after studying the behavior of their customers, they noticed something interesting: people who read several blog posts before signing up for a free trial stayed customers for two or three times longer than people who didn’t.

I’ve noticed the same thing with our customers. Instead of immediately clobbering readers with sales pitches, it’s much better to give them some content first and build trust before you begin talking about your products and services. Yes, you’ll make less money in the short term, but the long-term profits go through the roof.

Lesson #7: You Are the Bottleneck

Without a doubt, time is our biggest problem as bloggers. Not only are we expected to publish a continuous stream of content on our blogs, but we also have to deal with technical issues, read books and articles about our field, create new products to sell, answer questions from readers… the list goes on and on. The further into it you go, the more clear it becomes that you can’t do everything.

So, what’s the answer?

Believe it or not, I found answers from studying manufacturing processes. If one machine is working slower than others in a plant, it can literally cost the company tens of thousands of dollars per hour. To make sure it never happens, smart plant managers are willing to spend any amount of money to eliminate bottlenecks. They have an unlimited budget, because the cost of eliminating the bottleneck never comes anywhere close to the cost of the bottleneck itself.

The same is true for us, except the solutions are often different. Instead of buying a new machine, for example, we might purchase a new type of software that automates some of our business, or we might hire a virtual assistant or programmer. It can be expensive, yes, but it’s worthwhile if it saves you enough time, because then you can dedicate that time to higher value activities.

Lesson #8: Measure The Value of Everything You Do

What are those higher value activities, exactly?

Well, it depends on your goal. If your goal is to increase traffic, for example, start measuring the visitors per hour invested. Let’s say you invest three hours in writing a post, and it brings you 100 visitors, and you invest five hours in writing a guest post that brings you 500 visitors. The first activity has an hourly rate of 33 visitors per hour. The second activity has an hourly rate of 100 visitors per hour. Guest posting, therefore, is a better use of your time than writing content on your own blog.

Granted, it’s a short-term perspective, not taking into account long-term gains, but it’s still extremely useful to start measuring your time this way. Not just for traffic, but also for subscriber growth and revenue.

Lesson #9: In the Beginning, Creating Content for Your Own Blog Is Silly

I tried to sneak this one under lesson #8, but I think it’s important enough to get its own number, even if it does get me labeled a heretic and burned at the stake. Because here’s the deal:

In the beginning, your blog is like an empty classroom. Standing in front and giving a lecture is silly, because sure, it might make you feel important, but there’s nobody listening. You’re all alone, and you can come up with the smartest, most entertaining lecture in the history of mankind, but it won’t matter, because no one else heard it.

When you first start out, writing content for your own blog is one of the least efficient ways of building your audience. You’re far better off serving a little time as a “guest lecturer” first. In other words, write guest posts for someone else’s audience, impress the hell out of them, and siphon off a portion of their readership for your own.

That’s what we did here at BBT, and it resulted in the most successful blog launch in history: 13,000 email subscribers in 60 days, before I even wrote a single blog post. We had nothing but a coming soon page and an invitation to join our email list. Sounds strange, but I can promise you it’s vastly more efficient.

You don’t have to wait until you get to 13,000 subscribers to start, but I’d advise accumulating at least a few hundred. That way, you have an audience to share your content when you start publishing posts.

Lesson #10: Don’t Waste Time on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.

Here’s another shocker: you know your dream of building up a huge following on Facebook or Twitter and then using it to promote your blog? Well, it’s a dumb idea. Out of everything we’ve tested, building our own social media accounts produced the lowest visitor per hour figure. In other words, it’s quite possibly the worst way you can spend your time.

Does that mean having followers in those places is useless?

No. Facebook is nice because you can advertise to your followers. Google+ can help boost your search engine rankings. Even with those benefits though, it shouldn’t be near the top of your list for things to do. In my opinion, you shouldn’t think about them at all until you hit 10,000 subscribers, and then outsource the management of them to someone else. You can use your time more efficiently in other places, such as:

Lesson #11: Webinars Kick Butt

If you’ve been on our list for long, you know that we do a lot of webinars. Here’s why: on average, each webinar generates $40,000 per hour invested. It’s by far the most profitable thing I do. Nothing else even comes close. If you’re wondering how on earth we make that much money, all you have to do is attend one of our webinars to find out. Everything we do is on display, and you can study it, free of charge.

Interestingly, webinars are also the most effective way to build our subscriber base. When doing webinars for other people, we average 500 new email subscribers per hour invested. It’s not uncommon to gain 1,000-2,000 email subscribers from a single webinar. If we’re promoting a product, we usually make at least $10,000 too.

Translation: webinars kick butt.

Lesson #12: Longer Content Gets More Traffic

You know what else works? Long content.

It might seem strange, but on average, longer content gets much more traffic than shorter content. Not just for us, but for our students too, regardless of the niche, and here’s a post where SEO expert Neil Patel came to the same conclusion. The sweet spot seems to be about 2,000–3,000 words per post. That’s why posts here on BBT are much longer than your average blog.

Granted, content of that length also takes longer to produce, but if you measure the visitors per hour invested, longer content still wins by a mile. Assuming you’re promoting it, of course.

Lesson #13: Promote The Crap Out of Your Content

The problem is almost no one promotes their content enough. And by “promotion,” I’m not talking about sharing your own posts on Twitter and Facebook. I’m talking aboutblogger outreach – the process of building relationships with influencers and asking them to share your work.

At a minimum, you should spend just as much time on outreach as you do creating your own content. So, if you’re spending 10 hours a week writing blog posts, you should be spending 10 hours a week on outreach too.

Can’t do that? Then scale back how much content you’re creating. Spend five hours on writing blog posts and five hours on outreach. You’ll get better results.

Lesson #14: Ignore SEO for the First Year

Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not against SEO. Far from it. We now get tons of traffic from Google. I just think most bloggers focus on it way too early.

Again, it all comes down to time. When your blog is new, the most efficient uses of your time fall into three broad categories: building relationships with influencers (including guest blogging), creating content worth linking to, and selling your products and services. If you do those three things well, not only will your blog gain traffic and prominence, but you’ll also start getting search traffic without doing anything.

And then you can focus on other things that matter more, such as…

Lesson #15: Your Email List Is More Important Than Anything Else

In analytics, there is a principle called “the one metric that matters” (OMTM). The idea is that you find a single number that accurately predicts the success or failure of your project.

In the case of blogging, that number is the size of your email list. (Not RSS, mind you – it’s dying a slow but certain death.) In my experience, your email list is the most accurate predictor of how much money you’ll make.

Here at BBT, we make about three dollars per subscriber per month – an impressive feat, due mostly to our skill with marketing. The number isn’t important, though. The point is that I can accurately predict our sales based on the number of subscribers. So can you.

If you’re new to this, I would strive for one dollar per subscriber per month in sales. In other words, an email list of 1,000 subscribers should result in at least $1,000 per month in sales, 10,000 subscribers would result in $10,000 per month in sales, and so on.

The more subscribers you get, the more money you make. Granted, your relationship with your subscribers and the quality of your products or services and dozens of other factors still matter, but to drive revenue, focus on email list growth. To make money blogging, it’s absolutely essential.

Lesson #16: Start Selling from Day One

How long should you wait before you begin selling? 1,000 subscribers? 10,000 subscribers? More?

Nope. Start selling from day one. Here’s why:

One of the biggest factors affecting the speed of your growth is who you can hire to help you. Because you’re the bottleneck, remember? So you want to hire a virtual assistant and someone to handle all of the technical details as soon as you possibly can, but of course, that requires money. Hence the need to start selling immediately.

Now, a caveat: don’t turn your blog into a gigantic sales pitch. Nobody likes that. You should, however, be offering something your audience wants and needs. Don’t push them on it, but do make it available, and do remind them from time to time that they can purchase it.

Lesson #17: Your Product Ideas Suck

You probably have all kinds of ideas for things you can sell, right? E-books, courses, maybe an iPhone app? Or a service?

Well, here’s the bad news:

More than likely, your ideas for products suck. The good news is you’re not alone in this position. Everyone’s ideas for products suck, including mine. Here’s why:

We all tend to create products we can see people need, but they’re not aware of it yet. We think if we show them the magnitude of their problem we can convince them to buy our product or service to solve it.

If you’re Steve Jobs, you can do that, but I have more bad news for you: you’re not Steve Jobs. You’re a beginning marketer, and as a beginner, you should only be selling products that solve problems your customer already knows they have. If you have to convince them the problem exists, you’ve already lost the battle.

Lesson #18: Surveys Are Dangerous

So, how do you find what problems exist in the mind of your customer? Traditionally, the answer is a survey, but I’ll warn you: surveys are dangerous. Ask the wrong question, and you’ll get an extremely misleading answer. Use that answer to guide your venture, and you can waste years of your life, not to mention possibly going bankrupt.

If you’re a beginner, I recommend asking one and only one question: “what’s your biggest frustration with <topic> right now?” So, in my case, it would be “what’s your biggest frustration with blogging right now?” That’s it. Nothing more. Look for patterns in the answers you receive, and you’ll learn a ton about what products or services you need to create.

Lesson #19: Start with Services, Then Expand into Products

Once you find a common problem, start offering a service where you solve the problem for your audience. The reason is simple: you can start offering the service immediately. You don’t have to create a product first. You’ll also learn more about the problem as you attempt to solve it yourself.

When I started, for example, I worked as a blog traffic specialist. I was contracted with a few different advertising agencies, and every time they wanted to increase the traffic for a client’s blog, they called me. I didn’t just advise them. I did the work myself, redesigning the site, creating the content, everything.

It taught me a ton about what worked and what didn’t. It was also immediate revenue. The first month I offered my services, I made something like $5,000.

After working for more than a year as a traffic specialist, I felt I really understood the problem and how to solve it, so I created my first product: a course located atguestblogging.com. The first month, it generated something like $30,000 in sales, and now it brings in more than $250,000 per year.

It’s a wonderful product, but here’s the thing: I don’t think I could’ve created it if I hadn’t worked as a service provider first. I wouldn’t have had the knowledge or the money. Keep that in mind when you’re deciding what to offer first.

Lesson #20: Teach Others What You Learned

Now, we come to the reason for this post.

Why on earth would the CEO of the company (me) work for hours to write a post like this, sharing all our secrets? It’s closing in on 4,000 words, for God sakes!

Simple:

It’s my responsibility. If people are ever going to respect blogging as a legitimate business model, those of us who are successful have to speak up and share what we’ve learned. None of us works in a vacuum. The only way we can advance our field as a whole is to collectively share what we’ve learned.

And it is a field. There are thousands of people around the world making a living from blogging. The problem is, there’s not a repository, a central community where we can all talk and learn from each other. Over the next few months, that’s something we’re going to change.

In the meantime, could you do me a favor?

Share this post. Not just so it’ll get me traffic, but so other people can see that you really can earn a legitimate income from blogging. Maybe reading this will even help them do it.

After all, isn’t that what we’re here to do? Help people?

In the end, that’s what I love most about blogging: every article we publish, every course we create, every coaching call we do can change somebody’s life. Maybe not always in a big way, but we touch thousands upon thousands of people, and we make their lives just a little bit better. We inform them, we inspire them, we give them the roadmap for achieving their dreams.

And the best part? We get paid for it. It’s our job. I just wish more people knew it was a viable career. Let’s change that, shall we?

Hidden Adsense Secret Reveals to Earn 100 Dollars Daily-2014

As many of you know, building relationships in the internet marketing game is essential if you want to succeed. Over the last few years I have networked with many SEO’s bloggers, entrepreneurs and Internet Marketers and it has even made some good friends.

Hidden Adsense Secret Reveals to Earn $100 Daily-2014

One of these good friends that I met on a prominent marketing forum has shared his knowledge with me and we have even done a few joint ventures together. My friend started internet marketing with Adsense back in 2008 and since then, it has been one of his main earners. I have had my fair share of success with Adsense in the past, but have since moved on to CPA as Adsense is commonly seen as the “poor man’s monetization”. However, it does not have to be good track since then. I have noticed that many people struggle to earn even 5 dollars a day with Adsense when they put so much effort in. I know how frustrating this can be and I have decided to put all the knowledge that he has given me to make at least $100 every day from an Adsense site.

Google AdSense (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Here are the methods to earn $100 in a Day from Google Adsense:

1. Find a profitable Adsense niche

2. Do in-depth keyword research on that niche

3. Get high quality content ready

4. Make sure you have perfect on page SEO

5. Start off page SEO

If you are part of any marketing forums, you will notice people trying to sell you small micro niche sites and will tell you about how much money you can make with them. Believe me when I say that you do not need 10 or 20 of these small sites to make any decent money. If you have one good niche with a solid blog on the subject, that is all you need!

How to research Niche:

To get into a profitable Adsense niche, you are going to be looking for the following factors which are given bellow-

a. The niche has a high CPC (cost per click) for the keywords

b. The competition is low

c. The niche has many advertisers in Google Adwords

d. There are enough searches in Google.

Some of you may have the keyword/niche tools, but I know that a lot do not. To make sure that everyone can follow this guide, I am gong to use the Keyword Planner, which used to be the Google Keyword Tool. I preferred the old tool, but the Keyword Planner will be good enough for this guide. When we start looking for a niche, we need to find topics that generally are associated with high CPC. Below are some topics that generally have a high CPC. Remember though, you should start a site that you have an interest in the topic. If you do not, you can get burned out and all the effort you put in initially will be for nothing. Just make sure you care about the topic and are not just going after it because it has a high CPC.

i. Finance

ii. Legal

iii. Medical

iv. Travel

v. Web Hosting

vi. Health

vii. Security

viii. Home Care

ix. Online Degrees

x. Agricultural Security

I am personally interested in Legal and Online degree, probably because I may attend law school and my wife wants to be a law professional. Remember, make sure your topic interests you. I will be starting a case study in the next few weeks following this exact guide to bring a new site to $100 a day.

Once you have selected a broad niche, head on over to ubersuggest or use the scrapebox keyword scraper to do some searches with keywords that are in the broad niche. You are looking for related keywords to the main topic. Save all the keywords that you find using this tool in a notepad list to use later. Now look head over to dmoz.org and Enter in the broad keyword term in the search box and Click on any category. You will now see a lot of niches that have some potential within your main term. You are finding a niche within a niche. Write down every niche that you have an interest in. Similarly you can look head on over to http://dir.yahoo.com/ and do the exact same thing. Once you have your niches noted down, you are going to want to follow one more step to grab some more niches/keywords within your main market term.

Go to Google and enter in your keyword + forum. “law + Forum” as an example. Check out any forums that pop up and read through for more ideas of niches. If you have followed all of the above steps, chances are that you have a lot of niche ideas written down on your notepad or document. This means that it is time to use the Keyword Planner. Open that bad boy up and paste all the niche ideas you wrote down. Sort them by estimated CPC.

What Are We Looking For?

Large searches per month

High CPC

Not a seasonal keyword. You want there to be searches for the keyword year round. Make sure you put your keywords in brackets [keyword]. This will give you results that are accurate for the searches a month for that keyword. Go through the list and pick out around 10 keywords that have a high CPC as well as a good amount of searches each and every month. Once you have those keyword chosen, you need to take a look at the competition. To look at the competition, go to Google and type your keyword phrase in with quotations such as this: “keyword”. Check out how many results are returned. If you see less than 500-800k results returned, then this might be a good keyword to tackle.

Check Out The Top 10 factors of niche site

How many sites on the first page have the exact keyword in their title and URL?

How old is each site?

What Page Rank is each site?

How many backlinks does each site have?

Just as a guide, these are generally good niches to go for:

2 sites in the top 10 do not have the exact keyword in their title

2 domains are not 2 years old yet

3 sites in the top 10 have a page rank under 4

This is just a rule of thumb. You can of course alter this as you see fit, but this is what I like to use. To check the above metrics, have a look at this free tool: www.seoquake.com

To check out the backlinks, I recommend going with Ahrefs. It is the best backlink checking tool I have used. My Chosen Keyword has a CPC of $3.28 and has 170,000 exact searches which is not a seasonal keyword and Competition is a few million in Google. As you can see, I do not always go by the rules above. It has a lot more than 800k searches, but after taking a look at the top 10 sites, I am pretty sure I can beat them, and the amount of searches make it worth it. This is the main keyword I will be using in my case study following this guide.

Quick Tips for Adsense

When you see in the Keyword Planner that a keyword is “low” competition, this is NOT SEO competition. It means that there are not very many advertisers bidding on that keyword. You should generally stay away from keywords with low advertising competition because this means that many of your ads will not be related thus affecting your click through rate. Finally, take a look at spyfu.com to see just how many advertisers are bidding on your keyword.

Domain and WordPress Theme:

When you pick out your domain name, it is generally a good idea to have your main keyword in the domain name as well as a prefix. Something such as “best” works good at a prefix. When I pick out domain names, I only go for top TLDs such as .com, .org, and .net.

Once you get your domain name picked out buy it and install WordPress on it. Then proceed to pick out a theme that is not cluttered and has a white background with simple black text. You do not want there to be any distracting graphics. Remember, the entire point of this site is to get them to click on Adsense ads, not look at a pretty theme. If you are looking for some common words to add to your domain name, have a look at the lists below.

Common Suffixes for Adsense contents:

House, central, point, home, place, garden, site, spot, park, dome, bay, web, net, cave, base, heaven, portal, world, camp, network, county, street, city, alley, depot, valley, Other Suffixes, now, resources, tools, source, review, system, book, guide, talk, data, vision, load, box, focus, beat, voice, share, cafe, nexus, zone, sight, link, lab, insight, vine, board, flow, signs, network, wire, cast, ville , nation, egg, cove, news, today, future, fun, watch, story, fever, coast, side, road, heat, bite, insider, club, connect, Classic Prefixes, the, my, I, me, we, you, top, pro, best, super, ultra, all, cyber, simply, free, 1st, Other Prefixes, meta, re, metro, urban, head, hit, front, techno, ever, rush, think, solo, radio, vip

How Many Articles Needed To Reach $100 A Day

Many people often ask how many articles or keywords you will need to reach the desired outcome of $100 a day. Let’s break it down with some simple math to get some estimates. Lets assume that the average per click is going to be around $0.50. This could be a lot more or it could be less. It really depends. This means to reach $100 it would be 100/.5 which equates to about 200 clicks a day to get one hundred dollars. I always like to set my sites high so I will target a CTR (click through rate) of 10% meaning that I will need 200 X 10, or 2000 visitors a day to get to 100 dollars a day through Adsense.

We now have a rough estimate of how many visitors we need to get on a website before we can reach the goal! I estimate that I need around 80-100 articles to reach $100. If we go with 80 articles we need about 25 visitors each day to each page. This can be achieved and is not that many visitors per page if you really think about it. Content can always be added at a later date if you are not hitting the target.

Deeper Niche Analysis:

We have already done some niche research to find keywords, but it is time to go deeper! We need to find everything possible about the niche that you have chosen. We first went to Google and searched for our niche + forums. You looked through posts to find sub niches within your niche. If you see any debates or arguments, write these down on a notepad. The next thing you will probably want to take a look at is Yahoo answers and search for different questions within your niche. See what kind of things people are asking, this is something you want to remember. Note these frequent questions in your notepad. Check out Ebay and Amazon for some of the best selling books or products that might be in your niche. This is the type of information people are paying for, so note down anything relevant in your notepad because you will want to give them this information for free. Make sure to take a look at the reviews of each book and note what people liked and did not like. After you have done this, you should be getting some good information in your notepad.

Head on over to Technorati and do some searches for your niche. This will bring up related blogs. Go through their sites and look for posts that are interesting or ones that have lots of comments. Make sure to take note of the structure of these sites and topics that people are finding useful. Note down everything useful in your notepad. Spend a good amount of time on this step. It may seem very easy and straightforward, which it is, but remember, a good Adsense site is going to offer the visitor a lot of quality. Adding quality to visitors is your sure ticket to ensure you hit your goals. No one is going to stay on a site or even click an ad if your information is garbage or they have problems navigating the website.

Keyword Research:

The entire point of this section is to find the best keywords for the articles and categories that you will add to your Adsense site. The previous step we figured out some problems and questions in the niche that has been chosen. You will want to take a look at the notepad where you did your deep niche analysis and try to turn the questions and problems into some of the best keywords.

Example: Lets say that you chose the niche of web hosting when you did your deep niche analysis. You went into some forums and checked out yahoo answers and found a question come up over and over again which was “What is the best web hosting?” or “Can someone tell me the best cheap web hosting”.

Just from the questions above, we already have some good keywords:

Best web hosting

Cheap web hosting

Reliable hosting

Just go through questions and find different keywords that come up often as well as find out different problems you found and turn these into keywords. You want to keep your keywords short. 2 or 3 words each is a good way to keep keywords short. Make sure that they are a bit broad because later we will find different long tail keywords. Once you have a seed list of keywords, you will have to head on over to the Keyword Planner and plug them in to find some other good keywords. Also notice the number of searches for each keyword.

Once all the results come back, download them in a csv file.

What I Did  in past:

I used deep niche analysis to find many seed keywords. I then took the seed keywords and put them into the Keyword Planner to get many related keywords. Going through the list, we can find keywords that have over 1000 searches a month and have a high competition. Remember, the high competition means that there are lots of advertisers bidding on the keywords, NOT seo competition.

Site Structure:

We need to set up our site in a well organized proper structure. This means that we need some categories. To do this, I opened up the csv file that we just downloaded with the keywords and found the keywords that were the most searched. Take the top searched keywords that would make sense as categories and use them! This will set up your site structure very well.

Long Tail Keywords:

It looks like it is time to find some long tail keywords. Open up the keywords csv that you downloaded from the Keyword Planner. You have already picked out your categories. It is now time to sort all the keywords. Go through the csv file and sort all the keywords into the categories you have chosen in another excel document. This will take some time, but once you have everything sorted, you have your categories set up with long tail keywords for each category set up. Continuing on, we are going to open Market Samurai and take all the keywords from one of our categories and enter them. Don’t worries, Market Samurai has a free trial!

Settings I Will Use In Market Samurai, Set the Phrase to Broad with a minimum setting of 5, Set the SEO Traffic to the very least of 50, Click on Generate Keywords, Once results are shown, click on analyze keywords, Set your Phrase to Broad and a minimum of 15, Set your SEO traffic to the least of 50, Set the match type to “Phrase” and Click on Analyze Keywords.  The tool should have returned a lot of potential keywords that you can use. If you go to the SEO competition tab within the software, you should check over the keywords based on the factors that we mentioned earlier.

Creating The Visitor Pages:

You will need a few visitors pages to make sure that your site is Adsense compliant. Pages You Need To Create-

• About Us
• Privacy Policy (This is a MUST)
• Contact Us

About Us

On the About Us page you need to just put up a page about what your site offers, why you started it, and what kind of information you are going to provide on your site. This is just a page about how your site is going to benefit the visitor.

Contact Us

My favorite way to create the Contact Us page is just to use a simple plugin called Contact Form With Captcha.

You can get this plugin from here: http://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-with-captcha/

Privacy Policy

This is the most important page because it is required by Adsense. You will need to include certain information on the doubleclick dart cookie. Make sure you create this page or you could be risking your Adsense account. The easiest way to create this page is by using http://www.freeprivacypolicy.com/google-adsense-privacy-policy-requirements.html.

Writing Great Content:

If you have followed every step outlined above, it is time to start adding some great content. The most important thing you will need to do is great titles that will grab the attention of people searching for your information. This is how you should do that. Use a question format. This will entice people to click on your site when they are searching for information. An example would be “Why is my site loading slowly?” You can also use a problem and then offer a solution which will also grab the attention of the searcher. An example of this would be:” Is your site loading slowly? Learn how to speed it up!”. Another trick is to offer a “how to” article title which is a great way of getting their attention. Top 10 lists or how to lists always bring in a good amount of traffic, and sometimes backlinks!

Article Structure:

Always add an introduction, a middle bit, and then a summary of the article at the end. The intro will tell the reader everything the article will be about while the middle bit will give them the information they are searching for. The conclusion just wraps it all up. This is the best and most simple way to structure an article.

Keyword Density:

I always attempt to keep my keyword density under 3% for the main keyword. You do not want to run into an optimization penalty and if you overuse your main keyword it may not read as well as it should. Always use keywords and LSI keywords that are related to the articles though.

Keyword Stemming:

Keyword stemming is a great technique if you want to add variations of a certain keyword. Simply put, keyword stemming is when you take the main keyword and add on a suffix or prefix.

Keyword Prominence:

This refers to how close the keyword is to the beginning of the text of the body, A good practice is to always use the main keyword within the first couple of sentences of each article.

ALT Tags:

The place you are going to want to use ALT tags is when you have images in the articles you are putting on your site. It is used as a description of the image. Make your ALT tags short and descriptive. Search engines will love this and hopefully send you traffic.

Link Building 101 Guide:

Are you ready to build some awesome links to your Adsense site? I hope so!

Why SEO?

SEO is going to give you the highest converting traffic because it is laser targeted and FREE!

Benefits of SEO

You are building an Asset:  The visitors and keywords that you will rank for are going to be an asset that you can build up and develop. Start collecting emails and you have an even bigger asset.

Targeted Traffic:  Every person that is going to come to your website through a search engine is pre qualifying themselves for the information you have! This will lead to more ad clicks!

Free Traffic:  As I mentioned above, the traffic you are going to be getting is FREE. You will not have to pay a single penny for this traffic and that is what is so great about SEO. Once it is ranking for a specific keyword, you just need to maintain that position. If you were using paid traffic, the moment you stop paying is when the traffic stops. This is not how SEO works! Which is excellent news for you and I. So if the above information wasn’t obvious to you, you now know it. This means it is time to start building your asset! The first thing you will need to do is get some content written for your backlink campaign. You can write this content yourself or outsource it. I typically start with 15 unique articles and each one is around 400 words long. The article should be good readable quality. I tend to stay away from spun content because I value my sites.

Creating Web 2.0s:

This is the step where I am going to great web 2.0 blogs on the high PR web 2.0 sites. Examples of these are WordPress, Tumblr, Blogger, and Weebly. I start off making around 5-8 web 2.0 blogs to start with. Each one should have around 3 pages and only a single post will have a link pointing back to your site. Make sure that the article that contains your link is niche specific to your website. Each web 2.0 should have an about us page and link out to authority sites. You want to make it look natural so the key here is to make your web 2.0 blogs look like real legit sites. Treat them as if they are micro niche sites and make them look nice!

Article Directory Links:

Take some of your quality articles and go to some high PR article directories. You will be adding your link to the resource box.

Social Bookmarks:

When I first start my Adsense sites, I like to do social bookmarks first. I will write 25 unique descriptions about my site that are short, around 20 words. Then I will drop my link on high page rank social bookmarking sites. Make sure to use different usernames to not leave a footprint.

Document Sharing Links:

Take one of your articles and convert it into a PDF file. You can then add your link in the footer and submit it to all the doc sharing sites with high page rank.

Social Signals:

This is another thing I like to do first when starting an Adsense website. Send around 20 Facebook likes, 20 stumble upon and 20 twitter tweets to your site.

I like to make my tier 2 a bit automated as I do not want to spend the time doing this all by hand. This is what I like to do:

100 Do Follow Blog Comments to each Web 2.0

300 Social Network posts to every Tier 1

5000 Wiki Links to all your Tier 1

These are some of the tools that can be used:

Scrapebox

Senuke

GSA

Once you have everything submitted and the links are built. Take all your links and through them into an indexer. This will help them get indexed and crawled by Google, which is what you want! As a side note, you will want to diversify the anchor texts you use. I like to use the following:

60% money keywords

20% LSI keywords

20% generic keywords and naked URL

Resources:

For the Tier 2 links, 50% should use generic anchor texts, 30% should use LSI anchors, and 20% should be money anchor texts pointing to the tier 1 links. All do follow blog comments should be do follow, not no follow. Scrape an article and spin it for social networks. For wiki links, you need links with anchors. I do not use any tools on my tier 1 links, do them manually. It will take time but is well worth it. You can outsource tier 2 links which I highly recommend. Be very careful when building tier 1 links, tier 2 you can experiment on the anchor text ratios and quantity. Tier 1 should always be quality. Quality high PR links are worth more than a large link blast of low quality links.

Final Remarks from author:

That is it everyone. I hope you enjoyed reading this guide of how to make $100 every day from Adsense. I myself am going to be doing a case study by creating an Adsense website and following this exact guide.

Advanced IT Talent Problems in Digital World for Business Success

The IT wave has changed the business and marketing theory of present world. There are thousands of business-savvy IT executives can be seen that they have not got problem with technology related issues due to lack of experience or it may be started to face fresh to fresher daily basis which is growing day by day.

It was way back in 2003, just after the dot-com bust, I used to write a few articles on weekly for premier corporate magazine in IT column, and I had spent months to covering the technology work-force crisis in corporate world. There after, it along came the dot-com bust with over night waves, and the news was all about the layoffs and identifying the real goats of entrepreneurship in the Internet debacle for struggling factors. As time is passing and the economy is recovered from the bust, it is taken more balanced view of technology hiring either domestic or abroad. Maximum companies are needed good technology people for needs of time and they are willing to recruit them pretty easily or augment their teams offshore with favour of recruiters.

Advanced IT Talent Problems in Digital World for Business

After passing the 2010s, internet become household name around the globe and business and marketing almost become digital with cloud availability, mobility friendly, big data processing and consumers customization. So, it assumes that companies are in need of technology talents than they were in the late 1990s or ago, and those talents are in even shorter supply or long term. It has no doubt that the computer science enrollments are at an all-time low factor till date as baby boomer workers are retiring from their daily jobs and they are taking all of that legacy-systems knowledge with their long experience in Silicon Valley.  Recent survey says that the young, brilliant developers are willing to join more experimental upgrade payroll system or start their new venture with ultra modern technology system.

1. Lack of Willingness:

I have met a large number of bosses from corporate world along with top IT executives during my last 10 years and trying to understand the IT talent problems in corporate world. Just I have seen that there was no magic to solve these IT talent problems in corporate world except WILLINGNESS from both sides. Willingness is the main hanger in this pathway because normally non IT bosses never wants deep root of IT in their business, on the other hand expert IT talent never wants to become the toy of any non IT boss. Challenges come from both sides as IT expert wants to become an entrepreneur and non IT bosses don’t want fully IT depended business where he/she has very little things to do. They do not understand or don’t try to understand the business context of their technology works, even they don’t take it with meaningful discussion in the areas of their technology supports.

2. Lack of rotational program:

It needs to encourage the boss or the head of human resources to work with CIO (Chief Information Officer) and a few other business leaders to build a program that rotates IT people into different functions of the business with willingness of minds. This type program is not easy task because CIO needs to survive a long period with a trusted IT expert who design whole program with successful monitoring feedback. I am sure that It will well be worth the investment in success matters.

3. Lack of business leaders’ Involvement:

A large number of business leaders don’t want to enter in IT sector due to their lack of IT knowledge and never want a deep root of IT in their business. Building a leadership development program for IT is not big deal but it is important factor that how many business leaders earn IT expertness/ willingness for their business executives. It is better to using their interactions for IT necessity to chip away at the long-standing wall for business strategies.

4. Lack of Embedment of IT people:

It may be needed a restructure of the IT organization so that each major business or functional areas have dedicated IT leaders for smooth functioning. These positions and leaders are called Business Relationship Executives as they can handle any department with out puzzle and hardship. It has to know the right track when it walks into a business unit meeting and from the dialogue taking place on there, which cannot easily distinguish the IT person from everyone else.

5. Lack of buddy system users:

It has been mentioned above that an embedded structure may be more useful and helpful to shortlist the IT talent problems. This buddy system can connect all the IT leaders and non IT leaders in one place virtually. Such the head of IT operations can buddy up with the head of business operations and such others operation heads too. They sit in on each other’s meetings with out delay of time and place, get to know each other’s organizations, and learn the major drivers and challenges of each other’s areas of responsibility which can give successful monitoring and feedback. It is said that the buddy system can be used to form an aligned structure of successful business.

Inner view of Reception Area, Technology Centre, SETsquared, University of Surrey 

Final Words of the author:

I have never claimed as an IT talent but 10+ years’ experience of IT and corporate world have been taught lots of things and sensitive thoughts of entrepreneurship. In thus ways, it is getting technologists to be better at business and marketing where is computational minds every where and every moments.  Many technologists are drawn to the bits and bytes for new ventures rather than doing jobs with non IT bosses.

10+ Key Factors Need to Know Before Becoming a Blogging Consultant

I had left my regular job in 2008. It was, in retrospect, something I should have seen coming in my future work strategies. I was managing marketing for a highly seasonal company (Tata Motors Limited) where the AGM didn’t really believe in spending a lot of people resources in their offline and online marketing where are thousands of mangers like mine. Although I had learned a lot about sales and marketing from this world known company those I didn’t know about previously. I was coming from a place where there was little new for me to learn and no real potential for advancement of business and marketing. Regardless, we can get comfortable in a handsome paying job with good benefits and where we like the people we work with for a long period those have intention to become independent in entrepreneurship.

10+ Key Factors Need to Know Before Becoming a Blogging Consultant

Becoming a Blogging Consultant

Therefore, I was out on my own and thinking what was I going to do for future.  But I was not interested to look for another job. Online marketing jobs are may be good idea to go for further ahead but getting success was certainly far to reach. I had already turned down some great offers from reputed firms and companies due to my ego factors. I had done some consulting on requests from my own relatives and near ones which was spreading slowly but picked right direction. So, I decided to dive in to consulting after a brief period of unemployment and enjoying not going to the office every day for works. I have learned random thoughts and tips which may help others to become a successful blogging consultant.

1. Ease into Consulting:-

First think, you it needs to short list expertise skills and make demo lists for them with a few trail version projects.

2. Maintain working regularity:-

It needs to tricks body and mind into thinking as it is still working a day job which is a pathway of mental preparation of a consultant.

3. Never over-promise:-

It needs to be pessimistic about timelines of skills and creativity. It needs to keep limitation on promises as never want to promise everyone the moon and the stars. Just tell the truths which are possible to reach target orientation.

4. Never overestimate productivity:-

Productivity and creativity are the two parts of a coin in business and marketing. So, it needs to be realistic with own self about how much it can be done.

5. Non stop reachable mania:-

It is most important factor for a consultant such any customer or client can reach easily when ever they want. So, it needs to set timing 24X7 reachable modes. Client support system may increase referral clients.

6. Helping Positive Attitude:-

There are thousands of newbie bloggers come daily but a few of them want to spend bucks from pockets in the edge of starting. So, it needs to help them to understand the method as after they are getting fully involvement on blogging business, it can be charge them easily for premium services.

7. Accept a few small clients:-

Big or bigger clients take same time and patience such a small client takes, so it is better to stay away from small client (if possible). I think, it may not seem like this makes good sense, but it’s true in consultancy market because the client that can only pay a few bucks but the small one has all the same questions, the needs, and the difficulties as the bigger client has.

8. Test clients’ mentality before accept project:-

It is better to accept clients who already know something about his/her works because it needs to report the problems and strategies ideas for further investigation on his /her work. Taking mentality test is tough job for a consultant but it can be done very easily with primary discussion period about the proposed project.

10+ Key Factors Need to Know Before Becoming a Blogging Consultant

9. Pricing softness: -

Consultancy charge may be the main factor where maximum consultants have failed. So, it is better to research similar services and their charges and try to level approximate equality among them.

10. Admit talents via works:-

It needs to admit own talents with out lie! It is seen that a large number of consultants taking help of paid advertising (PPC/CPA etc) for their services.  Such Some one really good at SEO, doesn’t take PPC work and some one really good at content creation, doesn’t take on a link building contract. Reality will come out very shortly from satisfied clients’ referrals.

11. Non profit Blogging publicity:-

It is most essential to having own blog for introduction, tips and tricks along with main (business) website. It is said that the blog must be non profit which make some effective sense among audiences, those will be potential clients.

12. Influential Social media Profiles:-

Social Media websites have become household name now these days, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Linkedin and a few more major websites. Hence it needs to create social media profiles with well furnished manner such profiles can bring a few potential clients. But keep in mind that regular relevant updates of social media profiles will be an important cause of influence and interactive.

My views on affairs:-

It is said by experienced consultants that don’t get distracted until establishment. A large number of experienced consultants whom personally known to me with a good client base say that feel first target orientation and go forward for the goal which is waiting. But keep in mind that getting establishment is not simple thing which can get with in a short period. Be patience and struggle with skills and works.  However, I don’t claim to be an expert consultant till although have expressed some tips or advise from my own experience which may be helpful for others.

Common Factors of Bandwidth are explained by Experts

Bandwidth is one of the advanced factor for webmasters, bloggers, entrepreneurs and website owners which is directly related with web hosting service. So, we have to understand web hosting before understanding bandwidth. Web hosting is the store of World Wide Web. Web hosting services are providing by data centers those are directly connected with World Wide Web via satellite. Normally, data center are kept under supervision of local administration of their physical status or land law of their location. Data centers are setup by individual(s) or Government undertaking and they offer lease or rental to other customers their spaces (hard drive). Common website owner takes spaces rental from any such space providers as his/her desire and need. There are various type of web hosting services are available in world wide web but most popular type is share hosting service for common/normal users. Other web hosting types are dedicated server, cloud server, VPN server, and many more with a little differ terms and conditions but maximum terms and conditions are similar to each other hosting service providers.

Common Factors of Bandwidth are explained by Experts

Multiple racks of servers (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Now we come to the main point of discussion about bandwidth of web hosting service as maximum hosting service providers offer a variety of bandwidth options with their hosting plans. If we want to say about bandwidth in short description, then it will be said that bandwidth is the amount of web traffic (audience) which is allowed to occur between hosted web site and the rest of the internet using amount. As the amount of bandwidth a hosting providing company can provide with their network connections ability and allocated space transmission from authority. Bandwidth allocation also depends on provider’s internal data center and external allocation to public internet service.

World Wide Web Network Connectivity:-

Normally the internet says that a group of millions of computers connected by networks around the globe or else where in the universe. This connection is done by cabling and wi-fi system via modern invention of satellites.  However, cabling and other related equipments determine the availability of bandwidth of any hosting providers. Such as we can say the availability of services 2G, 3G, 4G etc which means the data transferring capability. Here one thing is clear that hosting provider’s have multiple connections and their heavy load aggregate with their dedicated connection to the internet. Normally, they have enough bandwidth to serve their clients and customers.

Web Traffic and Bandwidth:-

Web traffic and bandwidth can be understood with simple analogical term highways and cars. So, it can be said that number of lanes of highways can reduce traffic jam of the road or less cars can travel speedy with out any trouble. Similarly rush hours get more cars on road and automatically traffic jam occurs. Hence, we can say that data transferring bits depends on users load and availability of connection provider’s allocation of aggregate bits.

Web Hosting Server Bandwidth:-

We have already mentioned that Web hosting is store house of data which is connected with World Wide Web. These data are locate with particular URL (universal resource locator), when any internet user inputs that URL on browser query then it will comes to the user’s location computer screen. Number of browser side query and server side response addition (average) is the grand bandwidth of any particular website or web hosting service. Normally, a web page may be very small or large on depending upon the continuing files, text, image videos etc and the amount of total spaces and loading queries control by the bandwidth.

Depending Factors of Bandwidth:-

Bandwidth depends on the amount of stored data and the amount of queries from browsers side. Honestly, bandwidth originally determines by the hosting provider and hosting provider allocates a significant amount of bandwidth for a particular hosting plan.  However, maximum hosting plans have bandwidth requirements and it is measured in each month via stored data and browser side queries along with server responses.

Easy Bandwidth calculation Methods:-

In my view, it is better to calculate bandwidth monthly basis but calculating methods are not straightforward but I can try them short for our readers. Just check out -
