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..
