#1 - The Network Blog

The following Post is part of a series to help our Network Blog Members get the most from there Blog experience.

*When Editing Posts from the back office - You will want to look for misspelled words and so forth but also BOLD up the first couple lines and separate paragraphs as needed. Most important is to scroll down, on your edit post page, and find the space for the KEY Word or Tag to be added. Look Through your Bog post and find a Key word that is used over and over again. Type it in and save!

Monotizing your Blog: $$$

You are already monotized with the advertising 2GSM provides on every Blog. Some other areas you can profit from are Click Bank, Google Ad Sense, EBAY, Amazon and of course any other business you choose to promote. All of these are opportunities you can be an affiliate with for FREE. You don't have to buy anything from them just sign up as an affiliate and promote the material. I can schedule one on one time to go over this as needed.

I am gong to work on a more effective prospecting and presentation format to get people interested in actually having there own BLOG. Making a few bucks from the ads are great but the money is in selling the BLOGS and having a lot of other affiliates promoting the 2GSM products! 2GSM is telling us that the BLOG price is going up to $67 a month in June so we really need to pinpoint the Features and Benefits for people to understand the value. Yes, $67 may seem like a lot but when compared to money spent on all these $30 a month MLMs plus auto ship of the products it really is worth it! Plus as wit anything else we need to find people who want to seriously have a secondary income. Some Hobbyists will want these BLOGS and they will do well with them but it will appeal more to the Business Minded Crowd wanting to create a second income or even replace the primary income.

*Learning all the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) tricks of the Trade. They all sound like they are way over our heads! However, once broken down they are not all the complicated..most of it is just time spent commenting on other Blogs, Posting an article on other sites like Linked IN and Squidoo and being active on Facebook, Twitter, and any other social sites that you may enjoy working with. We have to create a schedule and stick to it.

*Current Class Room and Talk show schedule

Monday - Mark's private Webinar (Members Only)- Invite sent each week.

Tuesday @9:00 EST- Jeff's "The Why and How of Network Blogging" Talk show

Wednesday - Chuck's Beginners Marketing Class on http://bmctalkshow.com

Thursday - Marks Public Talk Show on Talk shoe

*Suggestions for your personal schedule - One thing a day and one thing only for a while! (Or it becomes overwhelming!)

Monday - Update your Blog with any new posts or...put in your own.

Tuesday - Join a new Social Group IE: Linked IN or Face Book Maybe?? Then Make Tuesday your day to learn something new about that group.

Wednesday - Google up Blogs on topics that interest you. Find one or two that Interest you and Comment on them leaving your link back to your Blog.

Thursday - Try out something new you learned from the Talk shows or Webinar training.

Friday - Take a break

Saturday - Try Prospecting a little with people of like mind you run across through the weekend. Weekends are best to prospect and get your info out to so they have time to look it over then follow up through the week. This is where Business cards, fliers and other promotional collateral might be used. Obviously keep a business card with you at all times as you never know who you might meet through your busy week.

Sunday - Maybe an afternoon post can be updated or some web surfing to see what others are doing.

Stay tuned for more info on The Network Blog System!

The Why And How for Network Blogging!

2011-02-01T21:06:00.000-08:00

"You have probably heard how much the big Search Engines like Blogs but may not know where to start or how to build one on your own."

Dear Future Marketer

Blogs are the 'Darlings' of Search Engines. The main reason that Search Engines like blogs so well is the fact that they provide constantly updated content. Articles , Audios and even Videos can easily be added to blog sites. Fresh and Unique content is what the SE's (and real LIVE visitors) crave!

When you do a search online for something you are looking for, do you want to find an old outdated product (that probably doesn't work anymore anyway) or do you want to know the latest information about what you are looking for? Blog visitors are no different than you in that respect. They want current and applicable information and products that they can use! Why would I want to find out about a Commodore 64 unless I was a collector?

Blogs make it super easy to make sure your content is up to date and allow your readers access to your archives at the same time! You could install your own Blog and then search through the thousands of plugins to help you make your blog more efficient and easier to earn from and then spend hours on hours creating your content and finding products that relate to your topic to advertise in an effort to earn some commissions....OR

You could get a 'Virtual Assistant' to create your blog(s), add content to them, research the new plugins, research the products and create the ads, post the content, install the plugins and make sure everything is updated regularly (at a hefty pricetag every month!)....OR

You could get ALL of this is one single package and add to that the free traffic generated from visitors to other blogs in the same niche or topic that your blog is focused on. And get it ALL for only low monthly fee!

Plus as an added Bonus, learn from our LIVE webcasts, discussing subjects of interest to YOU with some of our other members and a massive video library that is updated almost weekly showing you step by step how to use Wordpress effectively and profitably.

Joining A Network Blog!

2011-02-01T20:43:00.000-08:00

After posting yesterday a basic Introduction to Blog networks I now want to turn my attention to some of the positives about joining a blog network as a blogger (the negatives will come in the next post in the series).

Please note that I’m not writing about the benefits of starting or owning a blog network but looking at the positives of joining an existing one as a blogger. Of course the following factors will apply more to some networks than others (each network has it’s own configuration).

1. Relationships – today I did an informal survey of 10 bloggers from a number of blog networks (not just my own) on the topic of what they like like about being in their network and the most common response was that they enjoyed being a part of something larger than themselves and that it was the relationships both with network owners and managers as well as other bloggers that made the network experience most worthwhile. Many blog networks have some sort of internal communication systems (forums, wikis, email lists or even blogs, chat and VOIP sessions) – all of which can take blogging out of a space that can be a little lonely into one that is much more relational.

2. Traffic – when I started my first blog 3 years ago I did so as a complete newcomer to the blogosphere and had absolutely no connections to other bloggers or sources of traffic. The result was that finding a readership was a long slow process that took a year before I even had more than a few hundred readers a day (except for an occasional fluke day when I had links from bigger blogs). In contrast to this many new network blogs gather a readership much quicker. Of course this varies a lot from network to network (ie Gawker’s blogs can debut in their first day with tens of thousands of visitors where as smaller networks might start with hundreds of visitors). This traffic comes as a result of incoming links from announcement posts, just from the prestige of being in the network and from other blogs in the network. Many networks also have ways of cross promoting blogs via highlighting top posts of the week or clustering related blogs together into channels that cross link within posts.

3. Expertise – very few bloggers have all the skills needed to run a successful blog and networks can offer a large range of skills and expertise to help grow a blog. Most blog networks will handle all of the behind the scenes aspects of getting a blog up and running including design, SEO optimization, paying for and setting up URLs and hosting, finding advertisers, choosing a blog platform (and administering upgrades and plugins), optimizing ads, promotion etc. This leaves the blogger to simply write. Similarly when you’re in a network with many other bloggers and you come across a problem with your blog it’s amazing how quickly it can be solved either by those managing the network or others in it.

4. Administration – similarly to having a lot of the technical aspects of setting up and running a blog handled – a blog network often handles a lot of the administrative tasks associated with blogging such as the management of advertisers (it can get out of control when you have to collect income from numerous sources), book keeping and even (I’ve heard in one case) the moderation of comment spam.

5. Revenue – this is perhaps one of the more obvious reasons that some bloggers choose to join networks (although fewer than you’d think have it as a primary reason as I found today). As I’ll mention in the next post in this series a downside is that in most networks you split the revenue your blog owns with the network (there are many methods of determining this) but on the upside due to the increased traffic, SEO prominence and expertise that a network brings the overall earnings can end up being higher than if you blogged independently (a generalization but true in most cases).

6. SEO – one of the big upsides of being in most blog networks is that on the day your blog launches you are guaranteed to be linked to from each other blog in the network. Networks do this in their own individual ways but it usually happens in a sidebar or footer. The benefits of this are twofold – firstly there is an element of cross promotion going on and some traffic will follow the links but secondly (and mainly) the benefits are that being linked to by other blogs on other domains is one of the best ways to climb the rankings in search engines – which of course leads to traffic.

7. Prestige – of course this one will vary considerably from network to network but if you can get a gig writing for one of the top networks you could use if to your advantage in the building of your own profile.

8. Learning – another answer that I got in my questioning of bloggers today was that some of them said that they joined the network to learn how to blog on a more professional level so that they could use the skills they learnt in their own ventures. One of the best ways of learning is to watch someone else do something and then to imitate – being in a network can expose you to all kinds of learning opportunities.

Of course this post is only one side of the equation – joining a blog network is not for everyone and in the next post in the series I’ll tackle some of the reasons NOT to join a blog network. In the mean time – please feel free to add your reasons for joining a blog network in comments below.

Entrepreneurs of the 21st century are finding better solutions to help them be ‘on’ their business and not ‘in’ their business.

It was only a few short years ago that many entrepreneurs spent the majority of their working days making random cold calls and follow up calls to prospects and customers. This can be quite time consuming especially if you have a healthy customer base.

The online automated marketing system makes it possible for internet marketers to market their businesses without feeling like a telemarketer.

The online automated marketing system helps to boost sales which mean it helps boost revenue. In addition to boosting sales and revenue, it helps internet marketers to gain new loyal customers and find new distribution channels.

So, if an internet marketer does n’ot have time to build a business and constantly advertise and promote their own business, the automated internet marketing system will do the majority of the work for them. Best of all, a person doesn’’t have to have a degree from a prestigious University or have high prospecting skills to take advantage of the automated internet marketing system.

One of the benefits of this system is that you do not always have to be around 24/7 to cater to your customers needs. When a business owner is not available, auto responders or voice mail systems will answer your customers’ questions for you and they are programmed to even help make a sale.

With the Auto responder New Auto Dialing Systems available today, internet marketers no longer have to be concerned about networking with strangers about their products and services. This automated marketing system will advertise your business in a multi-marketing portal. What many people find interesting about his business solution is that it has a high Alexa’s ranking.

Remember, just because this new found business solution is sweeping the internet marketing world by storm doesn’t mean that internet marketers no longer have to focus on customer satisfaction. A business should respond in lightning speeds to all inquiries. It’s imperative to be straight forwarding with your answers and let your customer know that you understand their needs. Automated internet marketing systems continue to climb towards success.

So, internet marketers cannot simply put away their marketing campaign cold calling scripts, but they can set aside the idea of investing in very expensive advertisements such as highway billboards and full-page add space in exclusive magazines. Internet marketers can now save more time and money.
