The Goal Of Your Blog, Can You Define It?

Good Afternoon and Thank You For Joining me, Today.

Okay, I am back to the task of writing on the blogs today.  I apologize for not being here the last couple of days.  I was really trying to get things ready for a move of my residence and It has been exhausting and time consuming.  But I am back, to help with your Blogging efforts.

Before you start almost any project, you have to decide on a few things:

1. The Intentions of your efforts.   Are you going to write to help others, to make money? maybe both, maybe not.  Or, are you going to share your life's journey and share it with your family and friends, or the general public?

2. Are you wishing to make money from the blog, or again you are doing the blogging thing to amuse yourself and take time off of your hands, sharing things as they come.  (Not trying to be disrespectful here..)

3.  What is the Goal of the Blog   I mean what are you looking to get out of the blogs content and how soon are you looking for that "thing" to happen?

4. Deciding what platform you will use to suit your needs.

Almost everyone, I have been helping out, with getting started with their blogs, has been initially set up with a free blogging site.  This was done for various reasons.  One reason is someone who has never blogged before will have no idea of how long they wish to continue blogging.  I tell them to get through a 90 day habit setting period, and then decide whether paying for a hosted blogging page, is worth the monthly or annual payments to maintain.    The second reason, I set them up that way, was because it is a good way to experiment with what they are wishing to blog about and whether or not it is going to be productive for them to move to a more cost demanding site.

Keeping a clear and concise idea of what your intentions are, while writing a blog is paramount in successful blogging.  Therefore, by pre-writing your posts and deciding if it fits your first ideas for your blog, you know you are on the right path to a good continuously flowing message.   Jumping around normally occurs, when someone first starts out trying to find a direction for the blog.. However, continually jumping around on the blogging message, is not good for long term readership and a loyal fan base.

In my recent time off from blogging, this last week, I have helped several people to begin their journey on the blogging about their passions.. All of them were different in many ways, and their reasoning was also different.. However, of all of the people I was assisting I believe I forgot to tell one person whom was blogging about her interior décor in her home and something about crafting money saving decorations..   But I will remedy that this evening when she calls me and follows up.  Anyway,  my instruction to them was not to initially blog for the intentions of making money.

By going into the blogging game, money is not going to come real fast at first.  In fact there are folks who have been blogging for months and months and never seen the first dollar in returns for their efforts.. Why is not important as maybe something either in their presentations, or maybe their monetizing those blog posts incorrectly which can account for many reason they are not going to make money..  Back to making money!

If you put making money on the back burner, then you can better decide what your blogging should be about, more effectively.  you can later go in and monetize your blogs after the posts have had some exposure and after you hone some of the writing skills.  Remember, Practice makes perfect!
With that in mind, take time to go in search of related blogs and websites, and visit them on a daily basis.

Visiting potential competition blogs are a great way for you to find ways of monetizing and structuring your site.. By looking at any page stats (particularly the amount of visitors coming to the site.) The higher the visitor numbers, the more you want to use that particular site as a model for your blog.  Pictures, videos, and other aesthetics will show up and are very good ranking tools, for your blog!   While there, take a few minutes to read their posts and leave a comment on their materials.  Also, do not forget to post your comments (positive comments.) and leave your name and the URL or address so they can come and visit your site.

What this does is steer some of their visitors, they have paid for in most cases, to your site as well..  Not only that, it leaves a trail to your site which the search engines love!  It's called "Back-Linking" to your site.  The more Back-links you leave at different sites, the better the search engines will rank your blog an later will pay huge dividends if or when you decide to monetize your blogs.

Well that is enough for now, I am off to write on another blog I am working on..  
SO, for now;  Happy Blogging and have a wonderful evening.

Hello, and Good Afternoon.  I am hanging out here in Corona, Ca; at work and decided to drop a quick note to you all..

Have you ever found yourself being confused on topics, that interest you?  What I mean is, have you ever tried to think of a single topic, but several pop out in your mind and you can not decide on what you wish to write on, in your blogs?

It's funny, as it has happened to me just today.  Now, I figured would be a good time to do this afternoons blog post, on that subject and how to over-come that obsticle in your blogging, writing choices.  In the past, I have urged you to write what your passionate about.  However, what if your passions are wide spread?  You go to write about one thing, and another thought process comes in.

Here is a tip, that may assist you.  It's called "Free Writing" and it is very effective.  But when you have multiple thoughts and ideas hitting your mind all at once and they all are trying to get out of your mind, onto paper, "free writing'' is perfect.  Here is what you need to do, which will probably help you out.

You see I have a program, that I downloaded the other day, and it's free if you have an ipad, or I believe Iphone also has the same availability in the App Store.  It's called "Ever Note" and I have downloaded a copy of it on my Toshiba Laptop as well.  So, I KNOW EVERYONE CAN GET TO THIS APP.        Anyway, I use this app to do my open or Free-Writing and you can too.

All you need to do, is to open up the application and start a new notebook.  When you open the notebook, add in a new file and put a title on it, like: "Blog Posting Ideas"  (Just a suggestion.)    I find a place that is quiet and where I am able to get my mind alone with the pad or note I wish to use and let my fingers just wonder over the key pad, writing everything down, that jumps out. 

Now, dont worry so much about the order, or organization of the notes, or even the contextual or spelling.  At first anyways!

When you are finished and all the ideas are typed into the note pad, you can re-read what you have put in, and sort out the ideas which pertain to one or more blogs.  Go in and seperate the ideas and thoughts, then take each one and write more thoughts in the same vein or context you originally used.

If you are angry about something, put it in maybe a blog where you can vent on that subject.  If you are happy, and full of ideas which have come out pertaining to another blog, you can ellaborate on that as well on the corresponding blog.

Even if you can not decide which blog, or writing site you wish to put this stuff on; Then save the information for future use.  

You will be amazed at the times when you refer back to these notes, or journal entries, how they will spark something which will be a masterful blog entry.  I remember some time ago, I did this and decided I just had too much on my mind, to sit and write on a particular blog.  My mind was rushing so fast, I just could not settle it down, to decide what to say.

In despiration, I went back to some notes, in my journals and in my Ever Note app., and was inspired to write about writer's block and the information I had previously put out on that app. helped tremendously!   After posting the blog, and later publishing a HubPage post, I was amazed at the comments and feedback I received from my readers and site visitors.   

Anyways, I know this does not really pertain to this particular blog, but on the other hand, it does; as everyone experiences the problem with coming up with content that is fresh, and original for their blog(s).  

This has been a Sharing Moment, which I believed might be helpful if you ever get stuck on ideas to write about.

Happy Blogging

Gary

Keeping Content Fresh, In Your Blog Posts

Hello and good afternoon, everyone!

Okay, I am going to get right down to this afternoons subject of "Keeping Content Fresh, In Your Blog Posts."

The reason for this blog post and this subject is several fold, and needs some attention to, and this is why I am wishing to share this information with you.  It is important that, if you are posting blogs, that you keep the materials as close to 100%  original, as possible.

I have to tell you, that it is real disappointing to me; when I view several blogs and they all are saying the same things, the same way, with nearly the same wording.  Yes, I am saying they are most likely plagerizing their materials.   However, I have to say that some folks will post under different names, and copy content from one site to another, one blog to another.  In either case, it is not "Fresh Content" and it can cause some serious problems for the people involved.

I do some Ghost Writing, and some writing on various sites, under different "Pen Names" and I once fell into a trap, where I was either tired, or thought an line of thought was important to share across the boards, where I did my writing.   So, I would cut and paste, the completed information from site to site.

Well all went well, for awhile, until I started receiving emails from site management, and from clients, saying they were dropping me due to my copying content and not writing original content.  Even after explaining to them it was my copy, my original content which was posted on several sites; I lost contracts and also were banned from those sites.   MY BAD!!!  It lost me over 1300.00 dollars in jobs..

Here is the thing,  Whether you are online to make money, or simply to share events of any type, you need to keep the content as close to 100% pure, as possible.   Now, what I mean by this is that since we all know there are millions upon millions of people on the Internet, there are Millions upon Millions of people blogging and writing something that goes up on the Web, daily.

No matter what your passion is, someone, somewhere, somehow, will be blogging or writing about the same subject matter; at some point.  So, You are most likely going to find someone, or many someones, whom will be blogging or posting about that same passion, that same subject matter, with similar thoughts and ideas.   That can not be helped.  Nor can it be helped that you may even use the same terms, especially if there is a "Jargon or Slang" associated with asserting knowledge or authority, to your readership.

You have no idea of how many people will take content and copy that content, to be put into a "Spin Processor" and come out with so called "Fresh Content."  However, in most cases that can be found out, over a short amount of time.

Since my experiences, which I shared above, I have never resorted to the "Copy/Paste" mentality again.   Honestly, I write 100% of my text posts and materials, on the "FLY" and that keeps it "Fresh".      Yes, you say it is difficult to always come up with stuff to say..  Again, Yes, it can be.  However, if you read my earlier post, That method of writing, helps out tremendously, on avoiding writer's block, and keeps you on track with a single train of thought as well..

However, not only does this Methodology of writing give you "Fresh" content. It also develops something very valuable to you, as a blogger and writer.  It establishes a "TIME LINE" on your writing, so if anyone questions your blogging materials, as being yours; they have an instant paper trail, to establish that a given thought patter was developed and everything is connected.   By looking at the posting times, they can see that your materials, have a genuine link to previous postings or writings..

If you have not read my earlier post, please take time to do so.  Then by coming back here, you will see some linage to the flow of information, which is there.

In closing of this post, I want to say Thank You for visiting me, here at Gary's Space, and I look forward to seeing you in the near Future.

Have A Happy Blogging Day!

How You Can Generate Multiple Blog Posts, And Get Them To Post On a Schedule.

Hello Everyone, and Good Morning to you all.  I hope you and your families are doing well, this fine morning.  We are expecting rains later into the day and well into tomorrow.  I am mentioning the rains, because I wanted to mainly send out my sympathies to those in the Mid-West, and acknowledge the losses due to the latest surge of the tornados out there; especially in the Illinois and St.Louis, MO. areas.  I have some friends out there and I know everyone has had a hard time with things.

Anyway,  In today's post I am going to discuss how to make multiple blog posts, out of one simple post.  Now, I may ramble a bit, but please bear with me, and I will get the point down; Eventually..

Often times, I will be writing or talking to someone and seemingly veer off onto an added subject away from my original point or thought process.  An example;  I will be discussing something like the basics of blogging and more specifically, lets us say, auto-responders.  During this discussion, I will wander off into a side discussion about, Let us say, back-linking to my blogs.

With that in mind, as soon as I recognize what I have done, I see that there is a potential for another topic to write about.  So, I go ahead and make a comment on the practice of building back links, while reading, then using a clip-board on my laptop, computer or Ipad,  will jot down the subject of reading for 15 minutes, putting back-links out there after reading various relevant blogs; then return to the original discussion.

When I am able to catch myself and do this, a second and third blog post is then developed, as I am writing the first post.  Once done, I can publish the first post and  share it.  Going back to the second and/or third note which is now  on my clip board, I take the materials I have compiled, and put it into a second blog post and continue writing on that new subject, which will tie into the first post, of the day.

Once this is completed, I will go to the scheduler and set the new post up for it to be posted at a given time, later on that day.  It gives the appearances that I am busting my tail getting new information out,  when In fact, Just the opposite is going on.  

Once all of my blog posts are posted and scheduled, which takes about 25 minutes in its entirety, I go to work and forget about those posts being published until I get home, later in the evening.  Upon returning home, I go through the blog to ensure all posts were posted, then I will take one by one and promote it by submitting them to the search engines, and to the other areas where I share that particular blog content.

Now, you have a free flowing and streamlined process, where almost anyone can follow you on a train of thought, that makes sense and seems seamless line of travel with your blogging efforts.
One thing however, which I can not emphasize enough, is that you must keep your content as original in the content as possible, which I will discuss in a later blog post, today.

Have A Fantastic Blogging Day, and if it is raining, snowing, or if there is adverse weather where you are, Please Be Safe.

Here's Something You Can Sink Your Teeth Into!

Hello Everyone, and Welcome To Gary's Space.

Okay, Last Evening I Spoke about the differences of building a blog for Business or for Pleasure.  But today, I am going to take that discussion into a parallel direction, of sorts to give you a little information, you might or might not, for now anyways, think is important.  However, It is something you will definitely wish to do.

Okay, don't worry there is no cost for it; at least not monetarily anyway.

No matter what sort of blog you have, you will definitely want to know who is just visiting and who is interested in what you are putting on the internet. Now before I get started on that, I want to say that even if no one who reads your blog participates, It bears time to do anyways.

Once you set up your Blog, on a given platform, you will definitely want to go and find an auto-responder, almost before you do anything else, and get it up on the site where you are going to be writing your blog.

Why?  Well, you will want to know who is interested in following your journey, as well as who is visiting. You know, it is great to have a little or a huge amount of traffic coming to see your blog.  That is something that everyone wants to have.  However, if you are not capturing anyone's attention enough to join your following and mailing lists, you are simply not doing well..  But don't lose heart on the fact that at first, no one will probably join your list.

No one will probably join your list at first is probably one of the most heart breaking things every new blogger or website owner faces. But when you are blogging, it is normal unless you have already built up a list or buy a list, from somewhere else.    Usually, it takes about 90 days for your blogs, your new sites to get started producing any results.  I believe it's because most people, like the search engines want to know you are going to be around for a while.  Now, 90 days is the average of what it takes most folks to get any sort of responses or signups, or even sales on a site. 

Now, that does not mean that all you have to do is put up a site and wait 90 days.  No, typically static sites will take longer than dynamic sites, like blogs will take less time to start going anywhere.  The reasoning why a blog takes less? is because of several factors; one of which is the fact that if you utilize the blog correctly, it takes that long for the search engines to pick up on your site.  Also, because it takes that long for you as a blogger to get your Proverbial "Sea Legs" under you.

What I mean about getting your "Sea Legs" under you, is this:  When you first start to blog, you are fishing.  You are not really sure of all that you are working with, and you are not sure what you are going to be talking about, with any structure in mind.  The first 90 days, is a time for you to start developing a knowledge of what directions you wish to go, on your blog.  You are also finding out things like, how to cut down posts and spreading them out, over several postings.  And finally, you are learning what your audience wants to see and hear.

In any case, you definitely want to have an auto on site and ready to go, should your list start taking off earlier than planned or discussed.   I have an auto responder in mind, and it's called "ListWire." and you can view the site, by clicking the name of the service.   Since it is a Free Service, I do not have any monetary interest in it, other than I use it on some of my sites to gather emails and other information.  So, clicking on the link does not make me a dime in revenue..

Okay, that is my post for this morning.. I have to go into work early today, and do some consulting and some driving around the greater Marina Del Rey are of California for a while, then off to San Diego, for most of the day.  

So, for now, I bid you and yours, a Very Happy Blogging Day!  

Take Care;
Gary

Blogging To Build A Business, or Blogging For Entertainment

Good Evening, And Welcome to Gary's Space.

Tonight I want to talk a little bit about reasons, for Blogging and promoting a blog.

Many folks want to blog, or may be interested in sharing a vast array of things and for a vast array of reasons.  Defining the purpose of your blog, and it's content is a very important thing to do up front.
By doing so, you eliminate a lot of confusion with both you and your readership.

You need to understand something, which I am sure that you probably do, that simply because you open up a web site or a blog site, it does not mean you are in business.

Let's get that out up front and in the beginning of all this.  Again, It probably did not need to be addressed but I felt that by making that statement, however you need to look at this truth to make your decision about what type of blog you wish to participate in.

Making an income on the Internet, is a nice thought!  However, Owning a business may not be so much for the individual.   It Takes Time and Energy, even if you do not have any of these three things, you will want to sit down and decide to make that Time, Energy, and Dedication to your mission; no matter how tired you might feel at any given time.

So, on-ward with the discussion.

I was married to a wonderful lady, awhile back and she had the idea that by obtaining a business license, it meant that the doors would be beaten off the hinges with customers Instantly!  She was in for a Rude Awakening!  When she found out we had to advertise, and that I would be putting in 10 to 20 hours a day into building up those customers, she was not happy and constantly Mocked my efforts.

Well, as nice as it may seem to embrace making millions of dollars while working at home; The reality is that most of the testimonials are made from folks that have experiences, which are not ordinary....

Personally, I have found that people whom decide to blog will do so as a passive means to share information about hobbies, trips, family outings, reunions and so on at first.  They leave the post open to whom ever wishes to read it, and then shoot out emails to friends and family to share openly.  It is over a period of time, that an occasional outsider will stumble upon the Blog Posts, that will share it with others and then the questions will come.

In line with this, I have known families whom have started blogging for personal enrichment, and somehow it developed into a multi-million dollar empire, over time.  Like fine wine, or any sustainable business, it is hardly ever built over night and it takes time to build up on all fronts, to make substantial income from.  That is, If you want to put the time and efforts into it.

Whether you decide to Blog for "Personal Enrichment" and sharing a passion with friends and family networks, or you decide to Blog to "Build a Business", you can still monetize the blogs using free services, who will pay you for spaces on the borders of your blog.  They do not pay much, but over time, the little bit of money you get from those services can add up.

I Personally use Clickbank.com, Google Adwords, Clickbetter, and a few other programs to help off-set some costs, of my blogs.  These services are used on all of my blogs that I work with, to monetize them; However, not all of my blogs are for building a business.

So, as  you see; Blogging is not just for building a business.  You have to decide if you wish to run a business and dedicate all the same efforts and headaches, towards building a business even if it is on the internet or a "brick and mortar" business in your home town.

Not to say, you can not build a business on your blog even using it for sharing a Hobby, Or sharing the Birth of a family members baby, or even the flowers in your back yard.  You see, people are curious about how to save money on things you use,  People are interested in finding vendors for a product you use because maybe they are in a remote area, or simply because the "Bean Counters" and  the Marketing Specialists in their area do not feel that a given area will benefit from them stocking a given product.   People are also interested for information about tips and tricks of say, Planting a Garden of exotic vegetation or flowers.    (If later you find this happening, you have instantly put yourself into a position to convert your blogs into a business promoting blog; should that opportunity arise._)

Okay, So you decided to open a business?  Fine, pay the money and get the paid services you need to support your business properly.  Money in, Money Out!

If on the other hand, if you are just doing something personal to you and your family;  then use the free services and enjoy your time telling the world about your passions and your rewarding endeavors!

Here is another reason to promote a blog, whether or not on a paid platform.  You might be upset about a new policy from Walmart, or angry about your service at local restaurants, or even a political candidate.  What ever you choices are in and on your blog(s), it is totally up to you.

My suggestion is to take time and ask your self and probably your spouse, what is in your best interest.  Or not!  But what ever your choices are, blogs are here and they are great ways of communicating with others cheaply, if you wish to use it for personal reasons.  On the other hand, like most business ventures are, they are expensive to dive into and to maintain, mainly due to advertisement and time you will have to dedicate your business choices.

In closing, Before you put up a blog make the decision on what your purpose and goals are, for the blog first.  then go from there!

Now, I have shared some tools with you through out my blogs to make easy money.  Whether or not you decide to start a business or blog for personal enrichment, use those tools.  However, do not use the pay per month hosting and go with sites like "Blogger.com", which are free to use.
Monetize a small portion of your blogs and if you make a little money, its easy and its fun.

Have a Good Evening, and I wish all the best with your Families and Friends.

Happy Blogging
Gary.

Good Morning!

Well, that went well!  I am referring to my challenge to you all to get my free gifts.  IF you missed it, then there is still time to benefit from my offering of the gifts.  You just have to sign up to follow what I am doing, by filling out the small form at the right of this page, and then go to Blog Beast and once there fill out one more form, then watch one video.  I will send out the FREE GIFT once I am notified of your completing these things, and ship off your gift, via email.  EASY RIGHT?

Okay,  One more note on that:  The free gift may take up to a day, to get it off to you.. I will try to make it much quicker, but that depends on how busy the day is.  But you will get it as soon as possible.

With that out of the way, Let me go to Blogging.
Did you know that video blogging is huge in the Search Engine's?
Well, evidently I found the search engines are not only looking for new content in textual formats, for rankings, but also a mixture of audio, video and Textual contents to push a site up in the ranking games.

I suppose it should not be too surprising to me, as in video's you can pack those with textual tags, or keywords, to draw attention to them and your page.  Especially when those tags mostly share the same tags as your over all post.

I have never done it, but tagging labels to your audio place holder does the same as well.  So, yes, it does make sense that it is beneficial to post all sorts of different media along with textual content, on your blog.    Now, to be fair, I have heard this before.  However, never really thought it made much difference.

Since Google and other search engines are changing the way they rate and give weight to a web site, or blog site page.  I suppose they got tired of "spam"  pages and the way their system had been unjustifiably ranking stuff, Google has came up with different versions of their robotic search criteria.
making it easier for fresh, dynamic pages to get a "One-Up" on the static pages.

This is a great plus to you and I, in that since we are blogging daily, and in my case, up to several times daily, we get to have a proverbial red carpet to walk on.  That is provided we stay within the scope of the search engine robots view.

Another "Tid-Bit" of information I would like to share with you this morning.
I recall, back a few years ago, that I had spent hundreds of dollars on this internet thing; all in the interest of making money at home.  But for some reason, could not get off the block, when it concerned making money.  Not even a dime.

I do not mind telling you that, I swore off of the idea that I could make anything on the Internet, except a means of paying for someone else to get rich of my mis-givings.   Now, I have to admit, I am  not rolling in the dough, nor have I came anywhere near making a living on the internet yet.  But, In hindsight, I do remember that I always felt something was missing in my attempts to make money online.

I think I shared with you, previously, that like so many have I became soured on the idea and thought "OH YEAH!," RIGHT," make money from home on the internet.  Well, I found that at least one element was missing, that made a great difference.  Yes, of course it was the BLOG!
that goes with out saying.  But also my mindset was all off and I always figured that old addage of "who needs instructions"  and "ME MAN,  NO NEED DIRECTIONS!"

Well after being set down and cleaned up a bit, my arms shortened to keep my knuckles off the ground, I finally realized that everytime I had an opportunity to make money online, I would try to re-invent the wheel.  Yes, I would add this or add that, or not add something in between.  I would read this, that said not to do that and; well you get the idea.

It's almost like taking a trip.  You plan a route for your trip because you want to experience the gratification of what is on the route.  Oops, something goes wrong, and later you hear that there was a better route to take.  As soon as you start changing that trip plan, or improvising your experiences will change!  The same will happen, and does happen all the time; especially here on the internet.

So, Keep focused on your journey and stop trying to add stuff in, because you want the benefits sooner than they are coming at the present.  Believe me, Your trip will be much smoother!

Well, for now; Have a Great Monday Morning.. I will try to post anew, this afternoon.. OH YEAH!  Don't forget to grab your FREE GIFT from me!  Time is not limited, but supply is!

Happy Blogging;
Gary

How Long And What Does It Take To Make Good Money, With A Blog.

Hey, It's a Bright and somewhat clear morning, this morning here in Riverside, CA.
Dogs are out running the yard and I am here, to share some more about blogging with you.

Today, I am going to discuss how long it typically will take to get blogs noticed.

Overall, taking into account of your efforts in getting noticed; it should take about 90 days to start seeing some results from your blogs.  For some, it may be a bit longer.  For others, it may be significantly less.  It really depends on how you go about putting your site out there and where you go to put your blogs in the public's eye.

What I typically do, to get my blogs out there varies, depending on how quickly I want to either monetize the blog, or whether or not the blog is just for me to share daily stuff with friends and family.   In either case, I normally do not expect anything from either one type of blog, for about the 90 days.  When or if the given blog does start to go up in rankings and visitor counts,  it is taken with the grain of salt and keep up marketing efforts to get it out further into the spotlight.

So, if your blogs are not living up to your expectations, don't worry so much about it.  Everything takes time; unless you have a lot of supportive friends who are going to follow you and are going to purchase what you are selling, to be supportive of your efforts.  Another, scenario that will significantly help your blogs, are if you can build a large list of emails from people joining your site, as loyal customers (in cases of a static site where you have been selling goods or services.).

Now, to start off with a new blog, I typically start with my network sites where I share life events; like Facebook and HubPages, Youtube, and Yahoo's Me sites.  I will plaster my initial posts in those places, because it begins to establish "Back-Links" to your site, and it draws initial interests in your blog from friends and family.   I always ask for visitors in my  sharing posts, to leave a comment, leave a suggestion, ask them to join my mailing list, to share the pages with their network of friends and followers.

I then use a submission tool, to blast my URL or web address to the blog, out to the search engines.  IN this case, I use a tool called Webfire.  Now, I use the basic free services on that  program to blast out to the search engines, each of my sites; Especially my blog, after I make a post and have shared it with all of my social network sites.

By blasting the site out to the search engines, the search engines will send out robot crawlers to review what I have posted, and makes them realize that there is fresh content on the blog.. New information, excites the Search Engines and increases blog ratings, in most cases.
which brings in more visitors, who are in my case, looking to make easy money on the internet and to promote their business.

Now, some of you might be saying you can not wait for 90 days to drive visitors to your site, and maybe the work sounds like it will take a long time to work on a daily basis to build up.  Well, I have to say, "yes and no."   Again, there are ways to make your visitor and sales efforts pay faster, but over all it usually takes me an average of about 1 1/2 hours daily, to make a series of posts, get them posted and get the word out that a new post is available.

What I have done, to make this an easy habit is this:  
I find a topic to write about.. I almost never use content from another site and so, I have to come up with original content, from my own mind, brain, and thoughts.  I write all of the given thoughts down and do what is known as "Free writing."    

"Free Writing," is the method of breaking brain freeze and provokes random thoughts onto virtual paper or a real piece of paper.  I use virtual paper (Lord love technology!), it makes it easier to transfer stuff to the blog.  Okay, after I get all my thoughts on paper, I break them down and then funnel the thoughts down to several categories.  These individual categories, are individual blog posts.

In another tool I use, which you are all pretty familiar with called the "Blog Beast," and schedule my posts to publish at given times through out the day.  I add keywords to the post and save my work.  The blogging platform will then systematically post the blog posts, through out the day for me..  Easy!   (by the way, some of the normal blogging platforms like blogger, has a scheduling tool as well.)     By doing this, It appears I am blogging multiple times daily and allows for the search engines again to see changes on a very frequent basis.  A good thing!

There are several other tools, I use when promoting my blogs.. However, I usually wait for the blog to produce some results, before I go onto the more advanced efforts.   However, I do wish to draw your attention to an earlier post I put up, called "Todays Topic is Backlinks".  you can find it in the archives, but it was posted on 11/13/13.   

Through out the day, I see a lot of websites.  In this, I will look at sites or blog posts that have topics I am familiar with and can easily go into the comment sections.   When I go into those areas, I will typically post a comment with relevant information in line with any current comments or postings, then I will add a signature with my URL and title of Webmaster of "such and such" site, as well as the URL.    We just left a book mark and book link that can potentially drive added traffic to your site.  The nice thing is that depending on where you place that link, it can bring some very highly targeted results.  The nicest part of it all, is it gives the Search Engines more links to drive up your blog's popularity, for your blog or website.

Do the math, just as an example:   You visit 10 sites daily.  You find half of those sites you can discuss issues, in a positive manner and intelligently, and you post your link.  that is five back links to your site.  you do that twice daily;  you have 10 backlinks or more, daily!  Multiply that by 90 days, you have no less than 900 back links.

Now, the above is just a mere example of what can be done in less than 25 minutes of time.  Add that to 10 min of blasting your site to search engines, you now have only 35 minutes tied up for that day, so far.  now you did your blogging posts and scheduled them for posting.  now you have maybe 1 1/2 hours into this blogging promotion.  Then later that night, or even twice daily, you add in about 5 min. to blast a new submission out, every couple of days, you might average out your daily commitment to maybe 37 minutes.. (NOTE:  You want to try to keep site submissions down, as too many on a daily or weekly basis, will cause the search engines to classify your site as a "spamming" site and then will not respond to your submissions; leaving your site and your efforts to a vein effort.

Well, that is enough for now.   I am going to slide out of here and go take care of the dogs, and do some chores before my work week starts.  I do hope you have a great week.. I hope you had a joyous weekend, and are looking forward to a wonderful blogging week.  

Oh yes, Please don't forget to leave a comment or question in the comment section, and please join my follower's list by filling out the box at the upper part of my blog post, so that we can keep in touch.   Again, as soon as I see we have a comment or question, I will answer that inquiry as soon as I can; but it will be answered!

Take Care and Happy Blogging

Going To A Party, What Do You Talk About?

Good Evening.  I hope all is well with you and your family this fine evening.

Well I know you expected to see a video that was played last night, on this blog.  Yes, I was sort of playing a little fast switch on you..  But don't worry, if you scroll down to the video post, it is waiting for you.

So, I posed a question in my title.  Going To A Party, What Do You Talk About?

Are you going to share with the crowd, that you just purchased a new Mercedez Benz?  Or are you going to discuss Obummer-Care?, or are you going to talk about the weather and bore your audience to pieces?

Well, on a blog, you have to decide what you are taking to the party, that will interest those whom are going to be reading it.   Okay, you caught me!  In previous Posts, I have rambled.  Yes, I have gone off topic at times, I have put strange and seemingly un-related topics.  On the other hand, Was I really going astray?

Let me share something with you.  You see, by going off subject, I was trying to share with you a variety of topics..   Why?  Well to spark some interest in commenting on my going off topic.  It does not matter where you were commenting about the blog, it opened up conversation.

The other reason, I went off topic at times is to bring a variety of topics, and inter mix those topics into blogging.  The fresh topic approaches, also did something else; you probably never knew about.
So, in this  blog, I am going to share that reasoning.

Okay, we can agree that the purpose of a blog is to express what it is we are passionate about.  Am I correct?    In expression of our thoughts and our passions, is being delivered, to drive traffic to us, via the search engines and also to build relationships with our readers.

The golden nugget we bloggers are looking for is; of course to be able to ultimately make money, quick money, and to allow us to either supplement or replace an income we earn from our normal employment position.     Boy, that would be nice to not only supplement our regular income, but to earn more than what we currently make from our regular jobs

Search engines are constantly scouring the internet, looking at static web sites, as well as dynamic web sites or blogs which changes content on a continuous basis.   To get the most interest from those search engines, I have mixed up my content a bit, over the last few weeks but ultimately came back to asking for those of you, looking to make easy money on the internet for your business.  To Join me at Empower Network and get onto the only "Viral Blogging System" that is truly Viral and flexible to enough to fit into your current work and life load and obligations.  Yes, I am talking about the Blog Beast.

Okay, Here is a trick that has driven you guys nuts, but has driven traffic to my sites in ever increasing amounts.  Now you have to understand that the search engines are looking for moderate amounts of mentioning, within your Keywords, or site labels.  Too many occurrences of any one or two tags or keywords, will be met with the search engines passing your blog, affiliate, and backlinks up.  You see, the trick is to find a happy medium key word occurrences, within a given post and use them to the limits, giving a little bit, to the conservative side if at all and from time to time.  This keeps the search engines guessing.  This guessing causes the crawler robots for the search engine to pick up your site and then re-rank it.

What this means, is you have to know in advance of your post, what you are going to say and how you are going to use your keywords in the sentences you are building, for the blog.  Building any business, regardless of whether at home, on the internet or both, you have to know what is going to be said in any given situation, that will allow you to post a response, should a given situation arise.

The keywords I use normally, for a typical blog, is listed on the side bar, as I write.  I take one, or two keywords like "earning" or "earn quick money on the internet" and building your home based business, and work them into my conversation.

Now, you have to consider what you are going to share, before you get to the party.  Blogs are a key central point, for you to cycle information about what you are doing.  Typically, when you are blogging, your attention to your goal has to be "Lazer" targeted and you have to have "tunnel vision" on your goals, within the blog.

Earning money online, is easy with a blog; and plugging back links which drive traffic back to your site(s),  but once you get the traffic there; the party has began and you have to include something that is going to keep them entertained and engaged.

Yes, I have been getting you to my blog(s). I have several of them going right now, but topics that have been posted here, not only was to get you to click on a very valuable tool link, but also to establish my blog as one that is going to be around for some time.  Not a "flash in the Pan" blog, that lasts only a month, then dwindles down to no activity at all..

I have had this blog going for about a month now. I am entering my second month of my blogging business.  I have accomplished the initial goal of getting the search engines to take notice!  Now, it's time to present more relevant topics and more targeted or "lazer" guided directions of where I want this blog to go.

Blog Beast is in fact a very valuable tool, that is worthy of using with or without the means of making money for getting someone to sign up.  Webfire is another tool that that is valuable for any online business or blogging endeavor.

I hope you can see some of what I have been doing.  If you are unclear of what I have been doing here, please leave a question in the comment section.. I will be happy to address the matter, to help you better understand my goal here..

And oh yes, if you have not seen the video from last night; please take time to watch it.

Have a Great Night and good luck with your online business..

Gary

How Does A Blog Make Money For You?

explanations of the blog making money, for Dannette.
The blog is a "Hub" that funnels prospects and filters them to find out who is at least partially interested in what you have to share.
The folks that are interested, will opt in to your email campaigns via the short form at the mid section of the left border.
Those who are a bit more interested or curious, will click on links embedded into the words and end up on a page which will sell some thing to them; or at least attempt to sell something.
There are some advertisements, on the right border of the blog, which belong to an advertising group; which belongs to Google.  When someone clicks on those, that pays me a little bit for each click.
Now, I left out the folks who are not interested, but are only there to look..  They come and go and probably never comeback, unless one of my banners, or post shares are of interest to them in the future.. But since they are not buying anyways, I don't worry about them.
Once the visitor clicks on the links, in the words, like "Blog Beast", or "Click Here Now", they are put into a Sales Funnel.  The will land on a page that asks for email and contact info from them, then forward them to the actual sales page.  If at the point of filling out the contact info, they decide not to go further, they are out of the grouping and the group gets whittled down to only people willing to learn how to make money, or buy a service or product.
The emails and the contact information is a source of follow up sales, via emails or sms texting on their phones.  Once they put their information in the boxes, they are giving me permissions to contact them, for future sales.  Normally, those who go through and watch a presentation, or visit the actual money making site, or information site; are Super Hot Prospects!  And you have to handle them with "Kid Gloves", but shove as many other items as possible, without getting in trouble for harassing them. (also known as spamming them._)

So, I get paid via the clicks on the banners and ads hosted by Google, I get paid later on with the semi-hot leads who put in email addresses on my blog, and I get paid a commission on the sales, subscriptions of the program I am pushing at the moment.

Currently, I am in the building stages of my presence.  This means that I am establishing my reputation, online as an authority in building and monetizing blogs, for new bloggers, and marketing of those blogs.   I will get a trickle of traffic to filter through at first, then as time goes, that trickle will grow into a horde of traffic, after google and the other search engines decide I am here for a while and after folks start back-linking to my site.   That is when the money will flood in, from all sources of the income generator, called the Blog!

I increase my  presences and exposure, by placing post shares on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites at first. This starts the process, and try to get these folks not to buy so much, although the opportunity is there for them to buy, but more to get them to share with their networks and then it pyramids from there..

   Here in a week or so, I will drop a few hundred dollars down and buy direct advertisements, on world-wide ad banners and other ads as well!  Traffic will mulitiply almost 2000 percent, in most cases, because I took the time to establish the Blog, over time; instead of over night.

Typically, it takes 90 days to get a blog to be profitable. I was lucky, in that one week I was able to get over 1000.00, bucks.  However, that will dwindle down just before I Start seeing it really jump upwards to some pretty substantial income.

 But those first 90 days, I have to blog at least one post, daily for that 90 day period, to show the search engines I am constantly updating my blog, which makes it more popular, and creates a vacuum in the search engines.
I hope this explains the "How" on making money with a blog..
Hope you all have a Great Day!

Todays Topic Is Backlinks

Hello Everyone, its me again!

I want to talk real quick about Backlinks in your promoting of a Blog or Static web site.

Creating backlinks are very important to anything you are trying to bring attention to.  This is one of those things that fall into the "more Is Better" category.

Back-links are nothing more than the address of your website, on different sites, which direct others back to your Blog or other websites.

Now, typically what I do is when I visit another blog or website,  I will first searchthe pages for a comment section or link.  I then take time to read what is available on the page(s) then make a relevant comment; which I put my name and Blog address as a signature.

Now over time,  this linking back to my Blogs or sites will increase the likeability of search engines.  This also will increase your sites repuation and ranking on the major search engines as well.
Another way to increase rankings and respect from search engines, is to find relevant  sites,  to the subjects yo are promoting and contact the site owner.  Ask them to partner with your blog and product site.

Partnerships on back-links are great,  because you can benefit from the traffic the other patners site, normally free of charge.

You can learn many ways of doing this, by joining me and my associates,  on the Empower NetworkCLICK HERE NOW

This Is What I Have Been Talking About All These Weeks!

Hey Everyone,
...as you read this post, you may find
yourself having the irresistible desire
to join now...
...because Empower Network paid out nearly
100 MILLION Dollars...
Direct to its member's bank accounts
in just a few short months.
In case you are wondering, that has NEVER
happened before so quickly.
Even the best companies (before Empower Network)
took DECADES to do that.
We did it in a fraction of the time!
Why?
Because this isn't about crazy launches
where only the "Gurus" make money.
* Gurus are cool, too :)
However, the Empower Network isn't built for
the gurus - this is about a solid business where
the folks who never made money are making it.
And not just a few bucks here or there.
--> I'm talking more people making over $10,000
per month than has ever been seen.
--> I'm talking about Grandmas making money
for the first time...
--> I'm talking about Pastors making money
with NO list...
I'm talking about people just like
YOU making money!
And I am excited!
...because I see people just like
you who are making it.
Finally making it.
YOU can make it too.

A Note About My Journey On Making Money Online

Welcome and Thank YOU! For Joining me today here at "Gary's Space."

I Just came home after a 19 hour shift at work.  Actually, I completely enjoy what I do at my job, and look forward to continuing helping people, in the public; So, the chances are I will not ever really wish to retire from it.  I know, folks call me "Nuts!" all the time..  And I am fine with that..

I am in the midst of making some serious changes in my life, and although a significant part of that change, is sharing information with you.  Why?  Mainly because if I can bring a smile, or make even a small difference in your life, My goals are accomplished.

You see, I realized a long time ago, that you can not please everyone.  So, You have to go out there and try to make as much difference in other's lives as possible; no matter how you go about it. (Provided it is legal and Moral.) 

Making money, and helping others open a door to making more money with what ever that person's passions are, and allow them to earn money from doing what they love!  You see, I am unique in the fact that almost every job I have ever had; I loved doing.  No matter the amount of financial rewards, I could walk in and out at my own desire.   NO, not because I had much of anything to show for my work, Not because of my being "Wealthy" or sometime "Even Comfortable" financially.  The fact is, I have not made much money, and have not ever had much money in my life..  But what I had that surpassed all the wealth in the world, was the fact that I strove to make a difference, in even one person's life.  And in that; I have more than succeeded.

Now, Making money at home is my next goal. Earning money at home, is something I want to share with you.  I have started making money, via my internet marketing efforts (more specifically blogging at home and around town), I have started to generate a little money which has came to me significantly easier, than I would have ever thought.  I am fortunate to have found a group of folks, such as Vick Strizheus and Yuriy Anishchenko, to name a couple of folks whom have been great in assisting me in generating some very significant improvements in my marketing efforts.

Both Vic, and Yuriy are a part of a group that I was introduced to through the Empower Network and the Blog Beast Blogging Platform.   Now, If you don't know much about me personally;  I want to give you some area's on the internet that I am attached to directly.  You see I have published social hub pages, I have published articles about all sorts of things and passions on the internet, under the AKA's of  repoprimo, GBrents, to name a couple of pen-names I have used.  (you can Google, those and come up with a bunch of links to various areas, I have published.)  I have also Co-Written many articles, ghost written many huge marketing campaigns, and the list goes on.

The reasons I have came to put this blog together, is that I enjoy writing!  I am not very good at it, but I enjoy it and it is a passion!  Especially when I can share something on this "Larger Than Life" Internet Marketing" stuff, that will help those around me, to better their lives.

I am here to tell you that money can be made at home, you can earn money on the Internet , or earn extra money online.  Depending on your budget, you can go small or go in big and benefit from learning how to earn money on the Internet!    I earn some money, online.  I am gearing up to make more that I have been making very soon!   I would like to have you come in and work with me, to help you get there too..

I think every "Big Time Marketer" strives to learn more.. Now, I am far from being a Big Time Marketer, at this point.. I am merely a Little Fish, in the pond!  But in my growth of knowledge and experience, I want to share with you to help you as well.  But, Ultimately, it is your choices that will dictate how you proceed..

The Blog Beast Platform, Blogger, Webfire, are all tools I am using and wish to share with you, as well..  I believe however, that the entry to using Webfire, GetResponse, and other tools, is best used after hearing what the Empower Network has to offer you, in their affiliate program.  

Well, for Now:  I have to go.  I look forward to hearing from you and better yet, I look forward to seeing you all here, in the near future..    So, I wish to leave you with two or three Requests.

1. Please leave a comment and share Gary's Space, with all of your networks.
2. Please click on the Google+ Follow link and come follow me on my journey. Better yet!  Come and Join Me..  We will have fun!
3. Be safe and blessed with your lives and Families.

Until Next time
Gary Brents

Good Morning, to everyone!

I just got up and dealing with my dog's desire to go out on a walk, this morning at 3:00am.  Wow!  It is getting cold outside, these days..   I guess that is what happens when the seasons change. 
Anyway, While I was out strolling the neighborhood, something kept popping in my mind that I saw repeatedly, throughout the day Yesterday.

Well, I was going through and doing some research and marketing for another blog, and decided to stray back to what I have been sharing here, on this blog, with my readership.  I actually Googled, some terms that were in my mind, to find out if there were people who were actually wishing to find out, about the benefits of Blogging, and making money with blogs.  ..

  I was actually amazed to find that there are more people out there, whom had no idea of being able to do this. Making money on the Internet, at home, to them was completely beyond their grasp of comprehension.  I mean they heard of making money on the internet, They have been exposed of people earning fast money on the internet (who hasn't!), They had no idea that you could even make easy money merely by blogging.

Now, if you are like me; I have been drained down to my last dollar in the various endeavors of online marketing and supporting my uplines, with very little money trickling down to my pockets and budget.  Yet some "Jerk" was always on my phone telling me I had to invest more money, to get more money, by buying company products.    Pretty much you know the story, I am assuming, I got tired of going without food, or being short on my rents, or just flat out being broke, to support these people..

But!  I was still amazed on how many people are out there who have virtually put on Technological Blinders, and had no idea of writing for your passions, and earning money..  Wow!  

I was on another site, almost like ASKhow, and I found an article where a lady was asking for ways of making money on the internet.  In Fact the Title on the Post was:  How Can You Make Money on The Internet, more specifically Blogs?.    I just could not pass up the chance!  I Wrote a response in the comment section, and told her about what?  Of course!  Empower Network's Blog Beast.

I also shared that If she or anyone out there wanted to learn how to do this, and make quick money which is easy as well, To contact me.   Well after making the post, I felt badly.  Why?   Well, I felt badly because although the  Blog Beast is an awesome system, and although the Empower Network has been there with all sorts of support, Money has not always been so quick to come.  However, it still is Easy, and it does work.

Now, It seems you may be thinking this goes against all that I have been pushing, the quickness of earning money with the Blog Beast.   Well, It has been!  But let me explain something to you. (No, I am NOT BACK Stroking here!_)

How Fast You Make Money, or How Fast You can Run, Or How Beautiful Your Lawn Is, Or What you Consider being done or perfect is, depends on your prospective!  It does not necessarily mean the same to someone else!   I personally know folks that will believe that If you go out and invest in a Business License and go through the process of opening up a business, that as soon as you close the door behind you, A FLOOD OF BUSINESS SHOULD BE POUNDING DOWN THE DOORS! 

Since the Internet business market has grown expedientialy, This attitude has came with it..  IF YOU BUILD A SITE, PEOPLE WILL FLOOD YOUR SITE AND YOU WILL BE INSTANT MILLIONAIRES!   Folks, honestly these people will not tell you up front that it is their position or idea to feel that way.  However, it does come out in a short amount of time!  It does!

On the other hand, Anyone who tells you that blogging, whether with the Blog Beast or what ever platform, will bring you instant income, is full of Crap!
Here it is!  Out in Plain English!  From My Own Prospective and without Rose Colored Glasses!

The Blog Beast, The program Called Webfire, or any other program I put in front of you, here on this blog, takes work.  Now, the amount of work is less effort and less intensive than any programs I have been involved in.  The Rewards are better than I have ever seen!    But, There is some work you have to do with these tools, to get results..  Merely purchasing a subscription to their access, does not guarantee you will make money quickly, as in the matter of days.  but over a shorter time than any other programs I have ever been involved in!

I had made a little money, in about two weeks; although it was not much, it is growing pretty well over time.  However, other programs I have used have taken more than they have given, with a lot more investment of time and money, I had still not seen one thin dime of return on my investments.

Learning how to make money, using the Blog Beast and with Webfire, has dramatically changed how I look at the programs I once was involved in, and found that had I been given access to such a simple to use tool, as Blog Beast, Things probably would have come out a bit different for me sooner!  That is why I have been sharing Blog Beast and the Empower Network's programs!

I can set up a blogging campaign in less time, than it takes to literally make a pancake on the Stove.  Seriously!

Now,  I am going to set up a program for a person here in a few weeks, to teach them how to use the system, on Empower Network using the Blog Beast.  Now this person is a Single Mother, with a child she home-schools who has virtually no extra income aside of being able to pay her household expenses and food, she is broke!  she has absolutely no idea how to do anything, but check her email. 
And you know what?  I am sure, she will be amazed at the ease of the Blog Beast and the Empower Network's other programs, to use.   (I know, Good for me!_)   

Well, come along with me, as I do share her story later on in the Month of November, to see how she progresses on her journey!  In fact, why don't you come and join us now!  Let me start working with you, to get a jump start on her story.. I am sure there are other stories you can build, using the Blog Beast!  Including your Own!

Have a Great Blogging Day!
Gary Brents.

Hey Everyone!  Gary Again!

Folks, I want to break something down, pretty quick on building a blog and the Common reasons most people don't Blog.   And as I am coming to find out, that is a real shame for anyone to miss out on some of the benefits I personally am now seeing, from my internet marketing endeavors.  So, I wanted to take a bit of your time, to share this stuff with you.

Most people don't blog, for one or more of these reasons:

Don’t Have time

Don’t know where to start

Not tech savvy

Not a good writer

Don’t have a niche

Think you will be judged!

 

I want to dissect these for a  little bit, and let's discover some pretty amazing insights, on most of these reasons.

 

DON'T HAVE TIME:

This is probably the first and foremost Excuse there is, to NOT BLOG!

 

Folks, if this is your main reasoning for not blogging; you are merely procrastinating because of another reason besides not having time.   I Can Honestly Comment on this; as I used to say this a lot when I did not know what all was entailed, or was intimidated, or just did not understand what something was about.

 

The Truth is;  I work over 120 hours a week on a regular week at my JOB!  Plus, I am on call late into the evenings.  Why if I am making money on the Internet, am I working so much?  Because I am passionate about what I do, as my place of employment allows me to make a difference in other people's lives!   If even for a moment, I can take someone's day and flip it into a better day, when there is a crisis! 

 

With that out there, I find plenty of time to write and submit blog posts.  To shoot videos or make audios for my blogs.  I sometimes get in a slow time during the day (even while eating lunch) and pop out a 10 minute blog post.  

 

So, Time is usually an excuse more than a good reason if you are wanting to make money on the Internet, quickly, or just want to share the latest information you might be sitting on, to carry a conversation with your readership.

 

NEXT REASON:  I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START!

Now, this is a better excuse than not having time to blog.   So, maybe a little bit of information will help over-come this, for you.

 

First You Find Something You Enjoy!  Reading Books, Playing Online or Console based Games, Investing, Fitness, Gardening, and the list goes on into infinity!  But find something you are Pumped Up About; then write a rough draft of the subject.

 

Second:  Find a Blogging Platform!   Generally, a Free Blogging Platform is great to get started, but you will most likely want to go to a "Paid Hosting" Blogging platform that requires "Little or No" knowledge on set up and to get it running.  I Recommend Blogger to start out with and to test the market you are entering.  It is Totally Free, as far as my experience has been with it.   I use Blogger myself, as you can see on the address bar.   However, I mostly recommend using Empower Network's Blogging platform called "Blog Beast" which is a Paid or Hosted Site because of it's features being so easy to learn and Use.  Not to mention the ease of quickly putting the Blog online, without any technical knowledge at all.

 

Another reason I use Blog Beast, is because it is paid, it also has an Affiliate program which is awesome, bar none.  (Again, My Opinion! and It is a quick way to earn fast money, easily. )  

 

A Side Note of Information:  Typically, when I join a paid program I look for a place on the site, where I can become an affiliate!  Somewhere I can get advertisement info and tools, from that site.   Anytime I mention a service, a program, or anything, I add my affiliate link in the blogs.  Why?  Well because all of the links on the affiliate program site, has your name or information that gives you credit for sending people to their sales funnels, which generates income for you.   Now, you are setting yourself up for an ongoing stream of income.  While you are writing your blog, insert those links into your blog; and you get paid for writing about what you enjoy sharing with others.   PRESTO!  Your blog just became a potential money machine!  A money machine that makes you money without any effort or thinking process beyond adding the links.

 

Third: Transfer what you have written, in Step 1, onto the blog site and publish it to the Internet, add in your links, as described in step 2.

 

Fourth:  you have to get people onto the blog, to read about your passion!

Okay, here is a part of this blogging thing, that blows most people out of the door!  Getting people to your blog, so that you can share your information or passion with you.  Getting them to share their thoughts and ideas with you, getting them to click on the links you provided to them.  

 

Well I use a system called "WEBFIRE".  The reason I use this system is that it is a website submission tool, that puts your site on the search engines..  86 of the most major search engine gateways are represented here on this system.  Adding your Blog is easy!  Then after you put your site on the system, all you need to do is visit the Webfire site, and resubmit your site ever couple of days to get into the search engines.  about 5 minutes of your time, at most!

 

ON most blog platforms, there are buttons to share your postings.  Use them.  If you come to a site you can share with, from the blog submission platform which is built into the blogging platform site join them all!  then click on share for each outlet, such as Google+,Facebook+ Fan Page , Amazon, LinkedIn, Stumbleupon, Reddit, and so on.  the blogging platform will shoot out the post and all you have to do is agree to let the post be put there, and then add a short comment.  Then click on the "POST" button!  YOU ARE DONE! 

 

 

Reason five:  Not Tech Savvy:

 

Well, as of this posting, this is no longer an issue!   You see, I have put this information in for you about the blogging platforms, and the submission and sharing outlets; because they require no prior experience or knowledge of anything other than accomplishing your goals of becoming published as a blogger!

op

The systems I am sharing here, are simple and easy!  NO programming, No coding, nothing special to worry about.  Except two things:

 

On this Blogger Site, you have to put in "keywords' that are relevant to your blog post.  There is an area on the right border called "Labels" that allows you to put in Keywords that the search engines use, to rank your site.    I typically use the same keywords for my blogs to make it an easy copy and paste operation; so I do not have to sit and think of keywords later on.. It becomes an automatic process.. 

 

 

 

Another Reason you may not be Blogging:   I am not a good writer!

 

I hate to tell you, my friend, you write everyday!  If you look at most of my posts, you will see punctuation errors all over the place!  I am not a good writer either..   And you know; Most of the folks out here blogging to make money, are not good writers either!

 

Well Lucky for you!  You see, Most blogging sites have a means to upload Video, and Text posts.  No punctuation needed in video..  Also, there is grammar and spell check as well..   Which leads me back to the Blog Beast blogging platform.   Not only does it allow for Video uploads, and Text input, it also allows for audio uploads as well..  Blogger, from my experience does have limited audio uploads, but not as good as on Blog Beast, in my opinion..  The formats of audio that I use are not supported by Blogger.com.

 

The process improves over time, with practice and experience, your writing becomes better.  I also suggest reading more, in your spare time for about 15 minutes a day.  Read what?  Anything, just read!

 

 

I have heard this excuse so many time, it is not funny!  This reason is: I Don't Have "A NICHE"

 

Okay, this can be difficult.  My suggestion is when examining your passion, or what you are passionate about in life, you can find products or services that can use your help in generating income for their business!    If it is products you wish to make commissions on, go to amazon.com or ebay, or sites like that and sign up for an affiliate program with a provider of those services or products that will bolster what you are wanting to write about!   Just join their affiliate programs and browse their inventory of vendors, get your affiliate codes and you just post those codes in the links you build on the blogging platform.   You pick out the places you have posted the information on the product or service, highlight it then go to the tool bar and click on link.. fill out the form and you are done!    Income flowing from a link on your blog!

 

 

Now, You may be thinking that others will Judge you:

 

Who Cares! It is your passion!  I love to eat EEL, Snake, and other exotic foods in public.. Who cares what others may think about what you are doing, especially if you are going to make money doing it and it is legal!

 

You see, I can go on and on about the subject of what other's think.  However, if doing what ever you do, makes you happy and motivates or improves your life, it does not matter what anyone else says or does regarding YOU!  Now honestly, does it?    

 

If you are someone who regularly works out at the gym, and eats those nasty protein bars, and someone does not like it, or wants to judge you for it;  Who cares because you should not!  That is your passion!  Now in relation to blogging, again I say; "Who Cares!"  You are  writing about you and your experiences, your passions, your family, your What-ever and anyone who does not appreciate what you are saying, does not need to be on your blog anyways!    Not to mention the fact that you are getting potential payment for writing and sharing information with those who "DO CARE" about what you are sharing. 

 

Well, I tried to minimize my opinions of why you are not blogging.  By the way, most people who are blogging are those whom are in good company!  The top most wage earners and corporate leaders blog!  That should tell you something..

 

Oh, one note on producing income..   Some folks will see immediate income from their blogs.  Some will not!  I usually tell people to give it about 90 days of pure blogging time on a regular blogging schedule., and you will see significant improvements on your visitor numbers and the clicks on your links to generate monetary gains.    IN that vein, you should be taking at least 10 min a day to blog at least one post daily without failure!  if you skip a day, then 91 days and so on.. 

 

Well, that is it!  I am off to go play with my dog and take him to lunch!   I want to wish you a Happy Blogging Day!   

 

Oh, before I forget!  Please repost this blog, share this blog with your social networks and please leave a comment or two on my blog.  There may be someone in your network whom may benefit from this information, even if you are not interested in what I have shared today..

 

Thanks for Visiting,

Good Evening Everyone,

I just walked in from work, and decided that I wanted to share an audio file, I built this afternoon.. I wanted to share this with you, because; well, Just Because.

Audio File

If you have problems playing this file, I will go into some of what is on the file here, this evening.

(Just to share a Tidbit of information with you, this is the very first Audio Blog Post, I have ever done!  So, please excuse the background noises, and also any stumbling in my speaking on the file.)


I want to share some things with you, that maybe you can identify with, or not.. Either way, I think it is appropriate to share.

I, like most of you, have had nothing but issues with Making Money On line; Especially, Making so called "Easy Money."  Feeling like most of you, every time someone would put up examples of money, they "Supposedly" made, doing Online Marketing, or MLM, or what ever type of "So Called Sure Fire Way of Making Money", was never so simple for the little guy!  ME!, YOU!, and whom so ever else I may not be mentioning, who have gone broke, supporting an "Up Line" sponsor(S). 

So, every time anyone comes to me, saying they have made Thousands, Millions, Hundreds, or even a single dollars, I have trained myself into thinking it was all a "Lie!"..  PERIOD!

Well, I will not boast about how much I have or have not made on line..  Why?  Because I don't feel the need to justify why you should do anything I suggest, by showing inflated income levels, or inflated stats on my sites or blogs.. I don't believe that is fair, or appropriate or respectful to your intelligence, or mine...

I am someone who could not sell a sweater to a freezing Ice House Worker!   Honestly, I am and have never been one to sell anything, with any success..  Truth!  I have always put out money, and time into attempting to sell things, but always have failed.   I finally resigned myself to not selling stuff!

HMMMM!  So, What Have I been doing lately on this blog?    I have not been trying to sell you, I have been trying to share something with you, that is a positive for your online business.   If I don't use the things I suggest you check out, I don't even wish to take my time; and promote it.. Why?  Because I don't use it.. I don't believe in it!  I don't have any depth of understanding of it, because I don't use it..  So, how can I promote it; what ever it is.

Now, with all of that out of the way, let me ask you something;  What if I told you, that you can make money on the Internet?  What if that something did all of it's own sales promotions?  What if all you had to do was point traffic to a web site and the site did all the work for you?  Better yet, as far as I am concerned, What if you used the product, or service and decided it was worthy of taking about two hours a day, to talk or blog about it, because you believe in it?

Here we go!  If I don't use something, I don't blog about it!  If I did not believe in it, I don't blog about it..  

Now, some of you may be asking that if I do use the Blog Beast program, why is this Blog not on it?  Why then if I believe in it so much, am I posting on Blogger?     The Simple answer is this:  I built this blog, It is a personal blog that I put together to share things to people I want to help.   You see, over the years, that has been the theme of my life, which is to extend a hand out and help others in pointing them in a given direction, to see if there is any benefits for them to reap..

I do Blog on Blog Beast and make money from doing so..    However, The Blogs I do post on Blog Beast are income generating Blogs, because the Blog Beast sells itself, while I am promoting other income opportunities. 

Okay, I am not saying you are not important enough to see those Blog Posts..  Yes, you are just as important, if not more so.   Why?  Well you are the people I want to extend a personal opportunity for you to benefit from a "Tool", not so much an income stream.  But it is available, if you decide to join the Affiliate Program, with Empower Network..  The reason I am posting and promoting here, is for your benefit, in hopes I can make a difference in your online presence and online business, no matter what that is.

I don't have to bring this to you, I want to!   Yes, I do believe Blog Beast is the premier Blogging Platform and Yes, it is fee based.  But another thing, that Empower Network does for you that far exceeds the cost, which is most beneficial to you; is the marketing strategies, that they openly share with Blog Beast Subscriptions, Which far exceed the value of the other Blogging platforms out there. The information is very good, and can lend a very strong impact on your online business.

Currently, I do use the Blog Beast program and do subscribe to the means of advertisement and marketing that the program promotes.  IT WORKS!    The income, is coming in and it is coming in with very little efforts on my part..   I don't have to market the program, nor sell it or it's viability!  Why?  Again, you drive traffic to the site, the professional sales program sells the products for you, you receive the benefits of the income, via the Affiliate program..  So, I don't have to sell anything!  I don't have to send out Emails to lists!  I don't have to Talk to anyone about making more money or spending more money!  I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY AT ALL!   AND THE MONEY STILL COMES IN!  

I promote here, because I want to make a difference.. I promote here because I am passionate about the Blog Beast and also about WEBFIRE!   Both are excellent income producers and both great tools, for you to work with!

I also wish to share with you, that The Audio file, which is attached above, will allow you to hear the level of intensity and passion, I have for you to benefit from these tools! 

Well, for now have a Great Night, and a Fantastic Week-End! 

Happy Blogging!
