Cash From Your Blog

Blogging has been around for several years now, and is more than a fad. Its not only the realm of pimply faced teenagers and internet addicts.

If you seriously want to earn money online, you need to be blogging. Blog is the abbreviated version of "web log". They were originally used as a type of online diary for people who wanted to record their thoughts for posterity sake, and share information with friends and the world in general.

They are still used in that way but many in the business community see blogs as a way of developing true "content oriented" websites. These websites would not only help the business earn money online, but also provide true content and value for people reading them.

The other major reason blogs have become popular with businesses of all kinds, is that they are free to implement. Google's "Blogger" site is free for anyone with a Google account. They provide what amounts to unlimited storage space for all your thoughts, as well as a place to advertise without any cost.

Internet marketers need to get large numbers of visitors to their web sites. Typically, it can take weeks, even months to get pages indexed. Blogs by comparison are indexed very quickly.

Many Blogger blogs are indexed within a few days. I have actually seen some indexed with a few hours and the faster your site show up in the SERPS (search engine results pages) the faster you can start to earn money online.

Text is all search engines know. You can include all the graphics you want, but they wont get you listed. All the search engines understand is text.

Pumping up your visability in the search engine rankings gets you more hits, and blogs have plenty of "just plain words" for the search engines to read. Now this isn't to say that you should run just a blog without a website. You can go that route, and many successful entrepreneurs earn money online with just a blog that promotes affiliate programs, or Google adsense or other chosen income streams.

The really savvy business owner uses the blog for keyword marketing, and to drive traffic to sales pages, or squeeze pages to collect email addresses. The words in the blog give your overall site higher visability.

The idea is to keep people reading your blog by providing useful information. One accountant that I was speaking to recently uses his blog to provide his clients with information about changes to the tax code and new money strategies. He also is able to offer new services that his customers may find useful, and in turn, grow his business.

We have already said that in order to increase traffic, you must increase your rankings in the serps. Blogs are a way of sharing information that people can actually use. They keep returning to your site, linking to your site, using your site. You can continue to offer new services and products in a very natural way.

You can publish your own well written articles, rich in keywords, to your blog. Include links to your favorite sites, and then ask those sites to include links back to you. This also increases your exposure, visibility and page rank.

You can add a form to collect email addresses or offer and accept product reviews. A blog can be used in the same way that you would use a standard website, except that it is much easier to administer.

You have the choice to accept comments on your blog. Comments need to be moderated because a great many will be spam, but they also provide a unique opportunity to allow others to help grow your blog. Comments are a feature that makes your blog interactive, keeping your readers involved.

If you have your own web host, a blogging platform like Wordpress can be installed in a few minutes. A simple process for the new business owner. Get started fast, and its really easy to use - and best of all, its free.

Some platforms like Googles Blogger are not only free, but can be hosted on Google's system. Free program, free hosting, unlimited content. Blogger blogs can also be hosted on your own system if you wish. I actually recommend this so that you have more control over the blog.
