Long Term Blogging Goals

Friday, July 24th, 2009

longtermblogginggoals1As the Internet business moves on it’s become very apparent that the competition is getting better and better.

I’ve been managing 8 blogs for the last year (I got rid of quite  a few) and it’s really too much to handle if you want to do it right.

The good news is that no matter what, if you write good content on a fairly routine schedule, you will make money. How much money depends on; the niche, how well you choose keywords, and if you stick to it.

I don’t panic anymore if a blog or two doesn’t get a post for awhile – as long as the writing is pretty good, and it’s 100% original of course. It takes a good while to build a good blog up and I know that this frustrates some bloggers to no end – however, the rewards are too great for quitting.

You DO have to like writing, and typing on a computer for an hour or so each day. If you don’t really like writing, you won’t make it – that’s just a fact.

You need allot of posts to get the search engines presenting you high in the search results – A TON OF POSTS.

Keeping It Clean For Awhile

One of my blogs helps people with mental issues like anxiety and panic attacks and it doesn’t have a single Google ad or affiliate link on it. I chose to do this because I don’t want the search engines or visitors to be turned off or away. I’m going to wait until it has over 500 people a day before I introduce ads and money links.

I tell newcomers to blogging now to at least get a blog started and keep it going even if it’s not getting allot of traffic. Why? Because after years of writing good quality posts they could have a few thousand dollars a month coming in. Wouldn’t that be comforting when your are retired and out the work force.

So keep up your blogs. Even if it’s only one post per month. Someday it might be your entire income.

3 Cool Blogs From a Very Cool Person

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

So my wife and I had a visit the other day from a good friend. Her name is Jennifer Jordan. Jenny has had a rich life experience living in Mexico for much of her adult life, and she is originally from Canada.

When she was visiting, I showed her how Betty and I make a living blogging. She loves the business model and I showed some of the great successes online, such as Darren’s Problogger, Steve Pavlina, and of course our own blogs.

So she is now approved for Adense, and has her blogs started. Three to start and I encouraged her to dig into just a couple of blogs and learn to have fun with it. In other words – write about what she knows and has experience with. So without further yapping her new blogs are as follows;

Family Drug Addiction

Living In Mayan Riveria

Unique Mex Art

She has also has another Blogspot blog on Mexican Art which I can’t remember the address of it – maybe when she sees this post she could make a comment and drop in the link to the art blog for me.

Jennifer is an artist by trade and beginning to seek work in the movie industry, painting and designing sets. This would be a Vancouver based gig at the start. She still has her place in the Mayan Riveria (near Cancun) and will be going back between Mexico and Canada by the sounds of it.

So Jenny – rock on and get your blogs kicking with some frequent post. As Darren says, “Water your blog’s” with content and let the roots grow deep into cyberspace and the rewards are plentiful.

Socialspark – Another Brilliant Idea

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Well I’m going out on an ethical limb with this I suppose, but I’m an unabashed business blogger and profit is a big part of why I blog. This is an email I just sent to two blogger friends. Names changed to protect the cool.

Hi Mickey and Mighty,

You HAVE TO JOIN Socialspark:

http://socialspark.com/

It works like this. You join up and you have two main
options. You can either pay a blogger to write a good
post that links to your blog, or one of your posts, OR
you can simply write a post linking to one of their blogs
in return they write and link to your blog.

This is amazing. You get high quality PR 1,2,3,4,5,6
links coming to your blog. This is all natural and the
search engines have NO PROBLEM with this kind
of linking. THIS is a SURE FIRE WAY to crank up
your page rank and traffic.

I highly recommend joining. If we have to write anyways
we may as well do it to get guaranteed high quality
inbound links everytime we write.

It’s a little harder if your blog is focused on one niche,
so I encourage you to create a blog that is about
anything under the sun.

Just Tell Me Why Dichotomies – Check it

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

just tell me why dichotomies<——- Click to enlarge pic – Well in my daily surfing and blogging I came across a nice gem of a blog. This one is called Just  Tell Me Why.  This is a new baby on the scene, but I  love the look of it and the fact that the owner has got his $hit together technology wise.

Then I see he has a post that warmed the furry under-belly of my heart. Not a big post, but spot on as far the content goes. The setup of this blog is that of a platform which allows you to answer back on stated opinion, stance, or idea. Here is an example of a post based the argument over everything is written, and the pole opposite that we make our own destiny. Pretty smart don’t ya think??

Now this should become a sure fire posting frenzy over time, and perhaps a link magnet. Well…..I’m posting on this site, so it worked for me.

Of course this example post I’ve given is right up my alley due to the fact that I believe IT IS already written. I believe that when someone has allot of confidence and drive to succeed at something, they were destined to have that drive. They may think they were the ones had the drive, and pat themselves on the back, but I believe it’s universal energy and a plan we are all in together.

When we work to help and love each other we are on course. When we don’t help and love each other we are walking away from destiny. That is just another little belief I have, take it for what you want I suppose.

Gotta run….enjoy your day.
