I have noticed that not everyone who has a blog is actually doing blog marketing
. That is okay if you are blogging for personal reasons. However, if you want to make money online from your blog there are things you can do to make your efforts more effective.
1. Be passionate about your blog. Hopefully you started a blog in an area you are passionate about.
Over the years I've started many different kinds of blogs. I've also quit many blogs after a period of time because I just lost interest in them.
I am not a big fan of auto blogging and putting content in a blog that is already on the Internet somewhere else either. Because I am a blog writer I have a hard time paying somebody to write for me as well.
You may find yourself in a similar situation. All of these things are easy to overcome if you blog on something you are interested in or have a passion for. It never seems like work, and it is always easy to come up with ideas on things to write about.
2. Market in every blog post. I really don't have a problem including a banner ad and text ads to my post so I'm selling in every blog post I do.
Sometimes I will hyperlink to a review page pre-sell page. Google seems to like deep linking and I have found this increases my traffic results and the amount of time people stay on my site when I'm sending them to additional pages of my own.
3. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. I actually think it seems more natural if you have errors in some of your blog posts.
This does not mean you go out and make mistakes on purpose, but it does mean you should jump in with both feet and start blogging right away. If you make mistakes so what. The people who are reading your blog articles aren't perfect either.
4. Subscribe to info relating to your theme. I like to get Google updates, updates from other bloggers, and so on. I also like to go to discussion forums and see what is being discussed relating to Internet marketing.
These are all good ways to keep yourself current on what's going on with your niche. Plus it gives you a lot of good blog content ideas.
Everyone can better results from their blog if they work at blog marketing. These tips should help!
