Niche Blogging

It does not take that much to be a niche blogger. It is really much easier than producing a general blog. This is because you already know who your target market is. The following article details a few things about niche blogging that you can start doing now so that you can become a better blogger.

The Advantage of Long Tail Keywords: By choosing long tail keywords for your blog, you have a better chance of succeeding with your niche blog. By choosing this type of keyword, you’ll find it fairly easy to rank well in the search engines and attract targeted visitors to your blog. Whether you’re aware of it or not, everything that gets posted to your blog will have an effect on the blog’s ranking for various keywords. Ideally, you want to see your posts rank highly in the search engines, and you have a better chance of this if you target low competition, long tail keywords in your posts. Of course, it’s also important that the keywords you choose are of interest to your readers, so make sure they fit well with your niche.

Experiment with Marketing Attempts: A big part of your blog’s success will rely on the content you post, but it’s also crucially important to think about your marketing attempts. Whatever marketing tactics you choose, they should show results in the form of new visitors and extra subscribers, so be sure you’re checking which ones work best for you. After a while, you’ll notice you can reduce your marketing efforts, as subscribers will keep coming back and search engines will begin sending people your way. Be aware that your initial marketing efforts will play a big part in getting you to this point, or you’ll find it difficult.

Be Constant: Beginning a niche blog is the first task that has to be done. But being consistent with your updates is what sets you apart from the rest. Being consistent lets you provide your readers specific content on a continual basis, without sacrificing quality. Your readers will come to your blog if they ever require pertinent information in your niche. This is because they know that your blog will be updated. If you do not maintain your blog on a regular basis, then you readers have no reason to visit. Thus, you will notice a drop in the number of visitors you receive and your subscription rates.

If you choose the right topic for your niche blog and make a consistent effort at updating it regularly, you’ll be able to gradually build up your traffic and gain a loyal following.

Free Blog Sites

For first time bloggers,  free blog sites are a great way to get started in the blogosphere. Popular blogging web sites like eponym, blogger and wordpress allow users to set up and host a blog without paying any fees at all. This encourages people to start blogging, because the fact that one of these sites can provide you with all of the tools that you need to get your blog up and running without spending any money means that you have nothing to lose by starting a blog. One of the reasons why so many people who have never had any other kind of web presence before find themselves drawn to blogging is the fact that it is so easy to find a way to blog for free.

You may find it easier to get listed in search engines that you would if you were starting your own blog from scratch by signing up with a free blogging website creation For example, google runs the free blog hosting site blogspot and crawls its pages very often looking for updates, so if you have your website creation hosted by blogspot you are almost guaranteed to be listed on google’s blog search engine. This easy access to search engines can take some of the work out of promoting your blog, and with a minimum of marketing effort can help you gain a following.

If your blog attracts a large readership, you may want to consider moving your site. Many people feel that being hosted by a free blogging web site gives a blog a kind of amateur flavor that is fine for a new member of the blogosphere, but is not appropriate for a high-profile blog. Having your own domain can help you make your blog feel professional, and finding a company that will host your domain is not difficult or expensive. Once your blog takes off, you will probably be able to sell enough advertising space to be able to afford to buy a domain and pay for a hosting package, and still have money left over. However, it does not make sense in most cases to invest in these glossy luxuries before you
have a sizable readership.

So you’re wondering  ”SiteBuildIt Vs WordPress which is better for my line of work?… Blogs are perceived as cost free, and to have a decent website creation designed is perceived as a  lengthy and quite costly process , you may be leaning  towards creating a blog yourself or getting one created for you .

Let me go over the main points between a website vs a blog: 

(Check out this video titled, “Traffic Generator Time Saving Tip” from FantasticInternetMarketingTips.com)

Blogging :
1. Blogging is an addition to online business activities, it’s not always considered an online business by itself, a website can be a stand alone online business if it’s built the right way, with the right set of tools (and no, it doesn’t have to be expensive). Typically, a blog is an add on enhancement to a website business, not the other way round.

2. A blog isn’t actually free if you want to  create an effective internet marketing business just from blogging , it takes many hundreds of dollars in custom design, customized software often referred to as “plug-ins”, and a great understanding of how to operate the software itself.

3. A blog will also cost you in terms of time, the most popular blogging platform around, WordPress (optimize your wordpress blog), is one that while free and anyone can set one up in minutes, to understand how to turn one into a full blown onilne business can take  a great deal of time to learn, update, master and maintain  .

4. Blog platforms are basically out of your control, meaning if the platform that runs your blog ever goes out of business or becomes obsolete, so does all of your  business (I’m not saying this will ever happen with the major blog platforms such as WordPress and Blogger, but there’s always that risk, I noticed one of the smaller blogs the other day when I logged in, had a notice that it would be closing it’s operations in a month or so. Had that of been the only blog I posted to, I would have had to start all over again!).

5. A blog is designed for you to constantly feed articles and writing on it, and  unless writing articles is something your PASSIONATE about in your niche , then it won’t attract the traffic that you’re hoping to achieve to build an online business(articles on demand).

Websites :
1. A website can be built very inexpensively, in particular if you have a lot of information to add, you will rank very well over time, especially if you use the right platform to build your website, one such platform is Site Build It, which has full guides that walk you step-by-step on how to own  your niche or expertise online.

2. A website can be built for you and be  absolutely automated with it’s marketing functions , especially if your designer is switched on from an internet marketing point of view and can get you real, measurable and proven results on the actual return on investment from your website, you can have your website built once, optimized, ranking well and bringing you leads to your business and never have to worry about adding more content ( streamlined  profits is the goal of many businesses right?).

3. A website that is based around new “Web 2.0″ concepts can actually be built and updated by users and visitors of your site! That’s right, you can have many experts come to your site and share more content automatically, which in turn GROWS your site organically so you become the dominant site in your local, national or international niche.

4. A website needs to be optimized with keywords particular to your niche so you rank well, often business owners have to pay thousands to web designers to do this, but if you use certain platforms such as Site Build It, it takes care of the optimization for you at the time of building (or actually “BEFORE” you build your site, because of the in-depth 10-Step planning process that takes place).

5. A website should be offered with GUARANTEED success of profitability and usability for the business owner. Unfortunately  a small few web designers will offer you a refund if the website they build you isn’t profitable, why, because they build exactly WHAT YOU WANT and what you want, is probably not what you need from an internet marketing viewpoint, so web designers won’t even entertain the idea of building a website that is guaranteed to offer you long term profitability.

Just from these few points above,  it’s simple to see the easiest way to build a stable online business , one that will take a fair bit of planning, won’t cost you the earth (especially if you’re a self-learner and like to do things hands on, which is quite often the best way to do things online, as “this is your business” not a web designers).

Long term if you build on a stable platform such as Site Build It, and yes, I’m really plugging this platform today as opposed to blogging and other website platforms, because of the sheer ability it offers you as a business owner, it simply “over delivers” on results and offers endless options to upgrade from rather inexpensive to start ($29US / Month) to fully customizable sites that web designers often charge thousands for.

I have used both Site Build It & WordPress, I have both of these sites and have studied and researched many other website builders and designers, and hands down, each time I keep going back to the power of SBI as being the absolute best there is out there.

You can have a “Site Build It” site, built for you for the same price as a web designer would, but with WAY MORE functionality and profitability than a normal website, or you can do it yourself and learn in-depth internet marketing and optimization tactics that SEO experts charge you hundreds if not thousands a month for and believe me folks, what is contained in the 10-Day plan of Site Build It is all they do for a “FRACTION” of the price!

 In short, SiteBuildIt really does ACE other platforms for functionality, usability and cost  Yes, there are advanced web design platforms out there like Business Catalyst and many other custom designed ones ( I’ve seen and used many of them ), but what these sites cannot offer for $29US / month is return on investment and the power of what Site Build It’s platform has built in as standard (the others you’re paying for each extra module)… It’s the same with blogging, don’t even consider a plain blog if your serious about building an online business, build a website that works and is GUARANTEED to work!

The day they first launch a new blog is a special day in every bloggers life. Chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader – you, unless you went out and purchased someone else’s blog. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your best friend, father, girlfriend and sister, father, girlfriend about your new blog. But when it comes to finding readers that’s about as far you went .

Traffic to your website Webinar.

Below are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling. The top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers.

It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.

Top 10 Tips

10. Write at least five major “pillar” articles. A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good “how-to” lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.

9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.

You don’t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.

8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that’s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).

7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.

Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commenter and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.

6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger’s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry – it’s sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.

This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important – it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will likely come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.

5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.

4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers.

To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at blogcarnival.com.

3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it’s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it’s worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!

2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it’s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have – your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.

How you benefit is through what is called your “Resource Box”. You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.

1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I’ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won’t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.

I hope you enjoyed my list of traffic tips. Everything listed above are techniques I’ve put into place myself for my blogs and have worked for me, however it’s certainly not a comprehensive list. There are many more things you can do. Finding readers is all about testing to see what works best for you and your audience and I have no doubt if you put your mind to it you will find a balance that works for you.

One of the most crucial things that you should not forget during your blog advertising is search engine optimization. After all, if you blog is not seen during a regular search engine search, you are losing tons of traffic. So when you produce a blob and write blog pages, be certain that you are optimizing them for the search engines to see them. Produce content that has your keywords placed properly, but do not stuff the keywords because this will cause Google to take your blog out of the index. Blend the keyword into the content in a way that it looks like it belongs there. You can utilize synonyms in addition to your keywords if you are worried about being penalized for keyword stuffing. When you learn how to product posts that use SEO, you will see the outcome on your own. Another approach is to submit your blog for an award. A quick look around the net will reveal that plenty of awards are being handed out to blogs that deserve it all through the year. You will be able to increase the number of visitors your site receives by gaining the attention of other bloggers when you nominate your blog for an award. It’s simply another method you can use to gain more exposure for your site. As a blogger, it’s your job to look out for new and alternative ways to get more readerships to your blog. By taking a new approach that is different you will be able to reach a larger audience. All you have to do is improve and expand the techniques you are already using because it isn’t necessary for you to try and reinvent the wheel.

Last, broadcast your blog content by using a RSS feed.
When you have an RSS feed button set up on your blog, it makes it easy for your regular readers to stay updated. They can view your blog on their own time because they receive a notice when you publish new posts. It’s a simple and effective way to make it easy for your readers to consume your content at their own comfort level.

All in all, from the above article we clearly understand that getting your blog in front of a large audience happens one step at a time. You need to be absolutely sure of your strategy and take consistent action in order to see results. It can be a while before you get the right level of exposure, but in the end, it’ll all about worth it.
