HowTo: Truly Benefiting from the Offering of Free Stuff

Monday, November 17, 2008 19:44
Posted in category Tips and Tricks

It is said that if you have something to give away for free, you will be able to attract lots of attention to your blog for your free offering. This has been used by many bloggers for a long time with varying results.

Offering freebies on your blog has it’s advantages, if it’s done right:

  • Generates Traffic;
  • Generates Relevant BackLinks;
  • Creates Awareness;
  • Increases Readership;
  • Improves Subscriber Count;
  • and so on, and so on…

Not everyone is looking for all of those advantages. Each blogger has his/her own reasons for putting free stuff on the internet. Some bloggers are in it for the potential profit, while others just do it simply for the fun of it. Personally, I do it for both reasons.

Does offering free giveaways benefit me? It sure does, but to really benefit from free giveaways one must follow a few simple rules:

  1. Offer Useful Stuff

    The first and most important thing about offering a Freebie is that there must be some kind of demand for what you are trying to give away. If nobody wants it, you won’t be able to give it away. Simple as that. The more useful that your Free Giveaway is, the more people will want it and share it with those in their circle of influence.

  2. Offer Quality Stuff

    You’ve managed to create interest in your Free Offering. Next you need to make sure that what you are offering is worth the time people are going to spend looking at your giveaway. It’s not enough to make the offering look attractive to people. You must provide some benefit to the consumer for grabbing your giveaway. If your Free Giveaway is not worth it, you will not get the word of mouth advertising that comes along with Freebies.

    Think of yourself, would you find value in what you are giving away? Would your freebie benefit you? Would you recommend this freebie to others if you came across it? If not… then don’t bother offering it in the first place. Read the rest of this entry »

Benefits of Having Your Blog Featured in Mainstream Media

Tuesday, November 11, 2008 10:43
Posted in category Tips and Tricks

What impact does being featured in a mainstream media publication have upon a blog?

It doesn’t bring a lot of direct traffic - I’m sure that like everything else, this varies from site to site. From my personal experience, there isn’t much of a traffic boost from being mentioned in mainstream media — as far as newspaper or magazine mention goes. I have not had the pleasure of having any of my sites mentioned either on radio or television as of yet… I will update you if that does happen.

There are many reasons that a mention of your blog on mainstream media may not bring in traffic. This is usually because no URL is mentioned.

Although traffic is not usually boosted, there are some benefits of being mentioned by the media: Read the rest of this entry »

SEO Benefits of Landing Pages

Thursday, November 6, 2008 9:37
Posted in category Tips and Tricks

What is a Landing Page?

A Landing Page is a page that focuses information targeted toward a particular user – and according to Seth Godin, optimized specifically to encourage 1 of 5 actions:

  1. Get a visitor to click (a link to another page, either on your site or someone else’s)
  2. Get a visitor to buy
  3. Get a visitor to give permission for you to follow up (by email, phone, etc.). This includes registration of course.
  4. Get a visitor to tell a friend
  5. Get a visitor to learn something, which could even include posting a comment or giving you some sort of feedback

Landing Pages are how business is done in Internet Marketing Campaigns, especially email and PPC marketing management. Read the rest of this entry »

10 Techniques For Getting More Comments on Your Blog

Tuesday, November 4, 2008 8:07
Posted in category Tips and Tricks

Only 1 out of every 100 Readers Comment on your Blog

I’ll outline 10 ways you can increase the participation rate in the comments section of your blog below.

Jakob Nielsen’s latest study finds that: “In most online communities, 90% of users are lurkers who never contribute, 9% of users contribute a little, and 1% of users account for almost all the action.”

What this means is that only 1% of your blog’s readers/users are actively engaging with your blog and the rest are at best occasional contributors.

This particular study is not focused solely on blogging. It encompasses all forms of online community communication, so it could be more or less than these numbers on your blog and it would greatly vary site to site — but the general principal is true. The vast majority of your blog’s readers will leave your blog without ever commenting or contributing to your blog in any way. Some bloggers take advantage of this by turning commenting off completely.

This unfortunately, is the way it always has been and most likely, the way it always will be. However, when it comes to comments, there are some ways to encourage more interactivity on your blog:

10 Ways to Effectively Increase Comment Numbers on Your Blog

1. Invite Comments - It has been noticed by many that when you invite comments that people leave them in higher numbers than when the invitation has not been given. This can be somewhat confusing, as generally, if commenting is enabled on a blog, the blogger welcomes the input and opinions of the readers. An invitation, though, triggers a response to some extent. Keep in mind that those new to blogs and blogging may not realize that commenting is acceptable and welcomed. Invitations to do so in each of your articles with a well laid out and easy to use comment system are a great way to help them to get into the habit of commenting. Read the rest of this entry »

Tips For Creating An Effective Blog

Monday, November 3, 2008 11:02
Posted in category Tips and Tricks

There are no hard and fast rules on how to blog. Having said that, bloggers will likely increase their exposure by following some simple blog guidelines

1.) Stay on topic.
Opinions are great for articles but the content of the items in the blog should all relate to a general related theme. Unless you have a knack for wit, humor or cynicism, the majority of your readers will be interested in the content that relates to a specific defined theme or loosely defined area of interest. Most readers won’t care that you eat Cheerios for breakfast. They may, however, be interested in the fact that affiliate marketing makes for great income potential and that making regular payments on your credit cards helps your overall credit score. Define a topic and stick to it. This will ensure that you create a loyal following of interested readers. Read the rest of this entry »

Link Building 101

Friday, October 31, 2008 9:24
Posted in category Tips and Tricks

Many different people start many different blogs for many different reasons. The most common thing that I have come across is an overwhelming mass groan over the lack of traffic their blogs are getting.

“5 months of hard work and no comments, or emails even!” One such blogger said to me. “What’s the deal?”

“The Deal” as I explained, not only to him, is Link Building.

Much to everyone’s dismay, the single most important ingredient to generating traffic to any website is incoming links from external websites. Unless you are already an Internet Guru with a whole network of hundreds of highly trafficked websites,  which is very unlikely, link building will be by far the single most important part of your start-up. Below are some tips and examples of some easy ways to get those elusive inbound external and permanent links.

Link Bait

The definition of “Link Bait”: Link Bait is any content on a website, that is especially interesting, controversial, or funny — content that will catch the reader’s attention and therefore be linked to from many other websites. Put simply, it is Viral Marketing for the web. Read the rest of this entry »

12 Tips For Creating Reader-Friendly Blog Content

Thursday, October 30, 2008 9:50
Posted in category Tips and Tricks

Creating new content for your blog can be a daunting task. When thinking about writing for your blog, it’s more about good business writing than something that you would have written for your high school or college essay assignment. I myself was never a very good writer in school and had a hard time writing anything at all longer than a paragraph or two.

Long paragraphs and big $30 words don’t word very well in conversation; the same could be said for blogging. Your readers aren’t coming around for the lecture and vocabulary lesson. Instead they are trying to extract the usable information from what you have to say.

Writing and developing a reader friendly blog doesn’t need to be a painful task. In reality, the guidelines are simple and actually make blogging easier than most other forms of writing, with some practice that is. This article will outline a few tips on creating a reader friendly blog.

  1. Create Catchy Headlines - This is usually the first thing that potential readers see. More often than not, the decision whether someone is going to read the article that you have created comes solely from the headline itself.  Be descriptive, but ket it just alluring enough that your reader will be curious about the click that follows.

5 Ways to Improve Your Blog’s Traffic

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 23:26
Posted in category Tips and Tricks

There are an unlimited number of ways that one could improve their blog’s traffic. I am going to outline only 9 of these today:

  1. Comment at Related Blogs. This method is definitely the social norm when blogging. An added bonus to this method is also the interest in your blog and what you have to say that is created when you leave quality, related comments on other blogs. Just make sure that when you do comment on a post, or even on another comment, that you make it relevant, and useful to the readers of that particular article. Make sure to include a link back to your blog, but do not spam! You’d be surprised how many people follow a link included with a well written comment to see what other useful information may be found on your site. Read the rest of this entry »
