The movie Julie and Julia took blogging mainstream for many who had no idea that an everyday, average individual could command attention and pursue their passion using an online technology available to the masses for free. And its not just movies and rare blog success stories that make people want to blog. In 2009, the job market resulted in a ton of layoffs for journalists and print newspapers and magazines went out of business. These writers will take their skills to the Internet. Blogging will boom in 2010 even more than it already has in marketing circles. Just like reality TV has now become a career pursuit for some young adults, blogging is being viewed as a potential income source for those who dont want to take the regular route to financial success. Perez Hilton has been very open with the amount of money hes raking in and its substantial. There are so many blog success stories that you can learn from and apply them to your 2010 Internet Marketing strategy. The Bankaholic blog was sold for $15 million. ArsTechnica sold for $25 million. PaidContent sold for $30 million. Someone recently commented that you can start a blog about Doritoes potato chips and once it gets rolling with traffic, wait and see how much they pay you to own it. In the year 2010, youre going to find many grassroots bloggers who are flying by the seat of their pants. The one edge they may have over experienced marketers is that they dont just get into a niche because it sounds lucrative they do it because they truly have a passion for it. That passion will translate into frequent blog posts and the building of a loyal and enthusiastic like-minded core audience. It will grow like a wildfire and when that traffic hits a certain number, competitors will come knocking at the door of these bloggers hoping to make an acquisition and funnel that traffic to their own interests. Many of these bloggers youll be competing with wont have the marketing savvy and insight to monetize their blogs as well as yours, so initially they may not see the same financial success. But dont count them out if theyre fierce about feeding the Googlebots with constant content and ensuring theyre not hyping up their reviews in a way that violates current FTC rulings. Your goal for 2010 as a blogger should be to continue leaving breadcrumbs on a daily basis for search engine spiders. Make sure you utilize broad and long-tail keywords. Comply with FTC regulations about being transparent if you receive compensation for a review or testimonial. And narrow your niche down so that you have a high chance for success against the influx of new bloggers in the blogosphere.About the Author:
