TIPS ON HOW TO ENSURE YOUR SUCCESS IN BLOGGING
Every Blogger wants to succeed in business. And with that, I am assuming that you want your blog or web pages to get adequate traffic to meet your goals. You want a sufficient number of people to convert into subscribers and paying customers. So how do you do it?
HOW TO SUCCEED:
The way you succeed in blogging, internet marketing and social networking is the same way you succeed in any other business. Here’s the problem: there is a general mentality that comes with internet business that needs to be dismantled. Bloggers and internet marketers work at home in most cases. It is not like you really need a corporate office or even any employees starting out. All you need is a functioning laptop and high speed internet. This is where the trouble starts. Given the low point of entry, internet business gives us some false impressions, and it’s essential we dispel these falsehoods once and for all.
CORRECTING WRONG IMPRESSIONS:
1. Internet business/home based business means “small”: this could not be further from the truth. There are huge newspapers (the Christian Science Monitor was the first I believe, and there will be more and more) that are moving their entire publications online… and DISCTINUING most of their hard copy newspapers. Internet business is HUGE business, not small business.
2. Working from home is easy: taken at face value, I bet most of us would be inclined to believe we do not believe this. But look at the facts. The work-at-home industry is inundated with get rich quick schemes and frauds of one sort or another. At the end of the day, most people are looking for a quick fix. People want to make money fast. Want to know how I know this? I study keywords. I look to see what people are actually looking for, and “how to make money fast” is one of the top keyword strings in Google, consistently month after month.
If you want to make money consistently, hand over fist, online, at home, you need to run your business like a business. You need to know how to sell stuff. That’s what this article is about.
How do you make money online? You have to adopt the habits and systems of others who are successful. This means hard work, consistency and creativity. If you happen to have the attitude that online business is easy, means quick money, can be fully automated or any such nonsense, you are setting yourself up for failure. Doing it the right way means more work, but it also means success.
Most businesses fail. We know this. Most business blogs fail also, and failure to monetize is the reason. If you are serious about taking your blog or other online marketing to the next level and ensuring success, it is time to take your sales plan and make sure it is up to snuff. If you learn basic sales and business principles and apply them to your blogging, I honestly believe it is impossible for you to not see a dramatic improvement to your sales. You will make money and be successful in business if you earnestly work your business, because there really is very little competition when it comes to people who are really out there doing it for real.

IMPORTANT UPDATES TO BETTER LINKING
Obtaining good backlinks are becoming harder to get in the traditional “link-exchange” ways thus more innovative ways are required to obtain good links. First though let’s examine traditional link exchanges, what to look for, what to avoid, etc. If someone approaches you with a traditional link exchange do the following:
First examine where they propose placing your link. – If it’s just a resource page with a bunch of other links and nothing else, most likely that page won’t be indexed in Google and never will. Do a search on the page address in Google minus the http://. For example if the address is www.theirdomain.com/resources/health-links.html enter www.theirdomain.com/resources/health-links.html in a Google search and see if Google finds it.
Google has pretty much stopped placing these resource pages in their index, which means this link is probably not doing you any good. Thus I almost always turn these link exchanges down.
Instead you want to negotiate with the individual for a link on a content page or blog or blog comment. Something that will get indexed in Google. Also you want to avoid a website that nofollows links.
Most people are simply out to get as many links pointing to their site as possible. Generally for two reasons:
1. Hoping that they might get some business from one of those links.
2. More importantly they are looking to increase their link popularity and ultimately their position within the search engines.
To understand the importance of proper linking let’s examine why search engines would even use this criteria in an effort to weight pages and ranking. The search engines are in business to make money. Thus they originally looked at link popularity in the following light. Their reasoning was if a website had enough valuable information on it, by the natural process other sites would find that information valuable and create links to it. Similar in a sense to a lot of people spreading the news about a new restaurant they liked.
This makes a lot of sense – the more websites linking to a site the more valuable the site is from the search engines perspective and thus a higher ranking. This is why a website linking to you where you are not linking to the other site is much more meaningful to the search engines and is given more weight. (We’ll discuss this more below)
However, many people today are just engaging in a webpage link orgy without regard to content or value of the website. This is not what the search engines intended, and those engaged in this will one day I believe be in for a rude awakening. Theoretically Using this method a totally junk website could end up with a Number 1 or Number 2 listing. If this happens enough times the search engine will start to develop a bad reputation and people will search elsewhere. When the search engine starts losing traffic they also lose ad revenue.
Knowing this it is important to be a smart linker. A link just for the purpose of having a link can actually be hazardous to your websites health. Try to avoid link farms and traffic exchanges.
It is not the quantity but the quality and relevance to your own site that gains you ranking points.
When choosing sites to exchange links, choose a website that is consistent to yours. However, try to avoid your direct competition. An easy way to do this is to choose some of your relevant keywords and search on them using AltaVista. Then Click on where is says, “Refine your search with AltaVista Prisma” and choose from the list of those sites.
Remember a link from an unrelated site only carries a very small weight with a search engine so certainly don’t spend a lot of time trying to get links from them.
Look for sites that complement yours but do not compete.
Consider – does the other site add some kind of valuable resource for both your sites?
When approaching these other sites use a personalized e-mail or even phone call. This almost always works better than a form letter.
Creating Your Own Link Popularity
This should be done within your own site and for links linking back to your site. Keep this in mind regardless of what type of link it is – make it relevant. How do we make a link relevant?
A link is considered relevant if the link text (the text you click on) matches or closely matches the title tag <title> of the page to which you are linking. This is true whether it is an internal or external link. Now it is normally impossible especially with internal links to exactly match the page title. However, use the most important keywords in the text link. Within your navigation bar menu on each page this is especially true considering the limited amount of available text space.
Let’s take the following example and common mistake. Many people will create a link back to their home page by using just the text “Home” or “Home Page – Click Here”.
This is great if you happen to be a real estate agent, however, if you’re selling camping equipment – not so good. In this case a much more relevant link would be “Camping / Outdoor Equipment Index Page”. This would score much more relevant with the search engines.
When dealing with someone else in obtaining a link from their site include the complete title of your webpage in the text link you provide to them for linking. This will give you the best quality, most relevant link from the search engine perspective. One quality link like this can easily be worth 5 non-relevant links.
Other Points to Consider:
Basically the higher the number the better (it is a ranking out of 10 where traditionally anything above 4 is good and anything above 6 is excellent. Here again be smart you would be better off if you could get 10 links from sites that rank a 4 then spend all kinds of time trying to get one link with a rank of 6.
Will the Other Site Require a Reciprocal Link?
This is important because the more links from unreciprocated sites the better for you. These links are given higher weight and consideration from the search engines.
One strategy to employ if they require a reciprocal link is the following:
If you have two or more separate domain sites negotiate with them. If they link to Your Site A – you will link to them from Your Site B – does this make sense.
If not try to develop a working relationship with several other sites where you agree to some kind of round robin swap. Ideally these should be people you know and trust.
For example Site A doesn’t link – Site B links to New Site – New Site links to Site A
Next time vary the sequence so Site A links to New Site – Site B doesn’t link – New Site links to Site B
Offer something of Value
By offering other sites something of value you can often get links from them without reciprocating.
How Many Out Going Links do They Have on Their Page?
Google for example will stop following links after it hits 100 on a page so you want to make sure the link coming back to you isn’t on a page with a number of other links or toward the bottom.
Your Outbound Links
Never call this your “links page” – call it something like “Valuable Resources” or “Other Useful Information”. This is best for your visitors and the search engines.
Learn to Negotiate
Everything we talked about can be enhanced by just working with other people – negotiating with them so you both get a good deal. But now that you have some valuable knowledge about linking you can use it to your advantage in negotiating with others. Don’t be afraid to let them know what you know.

IMPORTANT STEPS YOU MUST CONSIDER BEFORE CHOOSING AN ONLINE HOME BUSINESS
If you are looking for a proven legitimate online home business there are a number of things you can do to try and establish whether the opportunity is legitimate or a scam. This is not always easy but it is to your advantage to invest some time in researching the opportunity before parting with any money.
There are thousands of scams on the Internet as well as legitimate online home businesses and for new visitors to the Internet the task of trying to distinguish between the two can be very overwhelming.
Often the scam sites look so attractive and offer such great incomes or rewards that it is hard to believe that it is not legitimate, hence the reason so many people fall prey to the scammers. So one thing to be wary of is those sites that make huge income claims, like earn $10 000 in your first week or month with an online business. This really is totally unrealistic and if that amount is perhaps five times your current salary, do you really think it is possible to earn such a huge income in such a short period of time with no prior experience with this type of Internet business?
If the online business opportunity is legitimate then it would not be unreasonable for somebody who has been in the business for a couple of years to be earning a huge income. But be warned that nearly all the business opportunities on the Internet advertise the income of their top earners who have been working hard for a couple of years. They rarely advertise the income of those just starting out in the business. An online business is like any other business; you will need to work hard at building it up over a period of time to produce a good income.
So then do not get carried away with excitement when you find a Website making such unrealistic income claims. The Internet does not have magical powers to enable us to earn magnificent incomes overnight.
One can get so caught up in all the hype that it is easy to sign up for an online business opportunity that does not live up to its promises and this can result in huge disappointment, so a Website that is not promising the Earth is probably a safer Internet business route to take.
When you find a Website offering an online business opportunity that appeals to you, spend some time going through it and do not jump in immediately and part with your money. Have a look on the Website to see if there is any contact information, either an email address or a Contact icon like an envelope, and send a short message expressing your interest in the Internet business and see if you receive a response. Check also to see if there is a physical address on the Website as this adds credibility.
There may also be the opportunity to sign up for a free Newsletter, which will give you the opportunity to not only learn from what the newsletter offers but also enable you to get a general feel for the online business opportunity and put you in touch with your referrer. At the end of the day, once you have researched the Internet business opportunity thoroughly, sleep on it and take heed of your gut feel and all being well you will learn how to use the Internet to generate an income with your own legitimate online business.
ESTABLISHING MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME USING INTERNET HOME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
What are multiple streams of Income?
Whether you start a business online or offline, creating multiple streams of income is of vital importance to secure yourself financially in the future. As with many internet home business opportunities, hundreds are launched and hundreds are disappearing due to bankruptcy or other reasons daily. This latter could even happen with solid companies that have existed for years and had a respectable growth and records.
If your income depends only on one single of these internet home business opportunities, your single stream of income will disappear and you will find yourself financially hopeless. That is the reason why most successful entrepreneurs online have established multiple streams of internet income.
When looking for internet home business opportunities, you should write down what your abilities and strengths are like education, skills, interests and hobbies. With this list of assets you should be able to choose different internet home business opportunities where you can possibly excel.
You will definitely have an advantage if you already have a website, and know some basic html and you are able to update and work on your website. If not, it is not a disaster. You could get nowadays a website setup for free, and with a little fee for the domain name and web hosting, you could start an internet home business immediately. This is basically the first step if you want to create multiple streams of income online.
The next step to gain income from your website is to get involved in affiliate marketing by promoting and reselling products or recruiting new affiliates on your website. There are literally thousands of affiliate programs that you can choose from based on your list of abilities and interests. To spread your risk you should look here for different types of affiliate programs e.g. information products, website domain, web hosting, personal development, etc. Another way to make extra money and add another source of income from your website is to include Google Adsense or other search engine ads on your website.
You could use your website more efficiently and attract some traffic from Google or other search engines by incorporating these ads.
Another consideration is to diversify your business when looking for the internet home business opportunities is also choose a couple of multilevel marketing (MLM) affiliate programs. In contrast to the normal affiliate programs – where you will be paid once, you will be paid with MLM for the work you have done once for many levels. Compare to an author of a book you will be paid royalty over and over again when more of your book will be sold or reprinted. This is called residual income. Although it will take more time to build a downline, and many of the downlines will not stay in the program, it is a good option for long term investment.
In conclusion, if you apply all the ideas described above, you could avoid what the adage says “Do not put all your eggs in one basket.” So that if one of them is stolen by the fox, you still have some left for the lunch. In comparison to your internet home business, if one of the opportunities closed their business, you can be assured that you still have other sources of income and would not be in crisis.
