Part 5: Marketing
Hello reader,
before I start my tips on marketing, I would like to make you aware of the following;
Never ever, ever, ever ask anyone to click on your adsense ads.
When you apply for your adsense account, you give adsense permission to filter through your content and activity, therefore they can see the messages you send relating to any viewing of adsense. Adsense can suspend your account if you don't adhere to their T's&C's
Now you have set up your blog, with adsense, you can start to attract some organic traffic by posting your link on social network sites like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter etc. I strongly advise that you create new social network accounts,purely for your Online Marketing venture.
Once you have created your social network accounts, the easiest way to find followers for your new accounts, is to find people online who does the same line of work as yourself.ie; if you have a blog with blogger, type blogger in the search bar and see what comes up, join groups and create new groups. Find at least fifty new friends a day. Post your link/links on a daily basis. The secret of getting people to look at your blog is mystery, If you post a link starting with, "your not going to believe your eyes", or "I cant believe this has happened", followed by your link address, people would like to see more, however, if you posted to much information with your link people may get bored and move on to the next best thing.
Also find people on blogger and follow their blogs, they are normally kind enough to follow yours back, also follow blogs which they are already following, this should create a chain reaction, and if you do it the correct way you should have plenty of followers. Followers are potential revenue, so don't force your content onto them.
Exchanging links with other blogs will attract some of their traffic to your site and visa versa. To exchange a link you write to a fellow blogger with a link exchange proposal, if he accepts, go to new post, you'll see a link box, type his address in the box and publish, job done.
Join networked blogs on facebook, there you'll find a whole community of Online Marketers, some of them share free advise and information which could help you advance to the next level.
If you are confident in front of the camera, open an account with youtube if you don't already have one, create a video about what you do and launch it. I have not done this yet, therefore I cant't give you any in depth advise about it, however I know that it is a very good source of marketing and people generate a lot of traffic through youtube. If in doubt you can refer to the help section on blogger, or adsense.
Join forums, say for instance your blog is about working from home, just go to your search engine search bar and type in forums about working from home, and you'll see a load of pages come up, join discussions, and create your own discussion, this will attract some more interest to your blog.
Apply for a free google analytics account, analytics helps you monitor activity on your pages and can certainly help you improve your blog's performance.
PS: The more proffesional your blog looks, the more interest you'll recieve
When you have carried out all of the above and you feel that you have reached a dead end, refer to the help pages on both blogger and adsense, adsense offers video tutorials free of charge, this is a great source of information.
PS: Whenever you are unsure about anything, and I mean anything in regards to your blog, and the actions associated with your blog, refer to the help pages.
I sincerely hope that the information displayed within this blog will help you to get your foot on the self employed ladder, and that you will make a great success of it. This advice is entirely free of charge, if you feel that my guide has helped you, please be so kind as to follow my blog, and I shall kindly follow you back. Part 6; Affiliate Marketing will follow shortly.
The easiest thing to make in life is a mistake, the silliest thing in life is when you make the same one twice. Do not give up, this is not a get rich overnight business. Resillience + tenacity = reward
Thank you for your attention, I look forawrd to your success stories.
Good Luck
Regards Lee
