Choosing a Blog topic(contd.)

How to choose






It's not a wise deed  to choose a topic that you have no concept with. Unless you have the proof you are making some cash online and plan on showing people how you've done it, then you run the risk of creating a site like the millions of other "get rich online" sites.




Have you ever searched for make money online in Google? Not to mention this niche is overly saturated and you'd have a hard time generating traffic.


There are millions of sites on this topic and it's difficult to decipher which ones are real and which ones are just scams. You don't want to be lumped into that pile of mush.




Why Topic Choosing is So Important?




You have to make it understand that sites that do well online are sites that have their own unique thoughts and spin on a certain topic. The content is well written, updated frequently, the Webmasters understand the basics of Net marketing and they know their audience very well.




These are the things you must regard well if you want to become successful, and it will not happen overnight. So this is one reason choosing topic is crucial.




Don't be disheartenedy you have to be patient while waiting on that traffic to come, so you might as well choose something that will keep your interest or you'll get bored and abandon your site.




And don't worry about what others are doing. Just because you see someone making millions with one topic, don't think you have to do the same thing or even something similar.




Don't look at others. The reason that person is so successful is because of the points that mentioned here above. Their passion for the topic is driving their creativity thus generating success. If you chose that same topic you might not be as motivated because it's not your "thing."




Now it's time to getting started. Choose what peeks your interest and develop your own personal spin on it. That's the first step to being successful out here, so I hope you take this message seriously.




My job is not to Discourage You, But...




The objective of this posting is to encourage you to creating a lookrative, interactive site. That's something you have your heart set on then go for it.




It's my responsibility to make you  understand what's involved. You can't just buy a software program, download some template and create an interactive site like Twitter,FaceBook, YouTube or MySpace. What you can do as a fresh starter is just post your unique thoughts in your own way to make understand your site's visitor which help them to get benfited from......




If you think you create sites like those big shots i,e.Twitter,Myspace,Facebook or Youtube then  Extensive, Hardcore Programming is required. So you'll either have to LEARN yourself or pay someone else HIGH to do it for you.




As a fresh starter it's much better to start small and simple with a site like described here above and once the traffic and money starts coming in, then you can expand to something more robust and complex.




It will save you a lot of money and headaches if you do it that way.




Just GOOGLE, which offers lots of pages that shows successful websites on a variety of different topics. It's  really displayed you great pages because you can see the many different ways you can make money online.




From selling products, auction sellers, affiliate marketing, hobby-based sites, and more. This will give you an idea of what is possible when it comes to generating an income online.




To start from the sratch, See the site here to get an overview.




Now take a deep long fresh breath and go for the kill..............

Choosing a Blog topic

Need Help Choosing a BlogTopic?


Choosing a topic for your blog can be tough. Everyone seems to have the next "big idea" or looks for hot topics.


After all, wouldn't you love to be the one who invented Twitter,MySpace, FaceBook or YouTube?


It often looks like so simple. Just come up with a cool idea, design and build a site, sell it for millions to Yahoo or Google and become rich!




Actually it's not exactly so.................


As it seems that this idea has worked for a handful of people, but the average story doesn't so quite like that. Thev only reason why I wanted to furnish this all-important page on topic choice.


First of all think yourself what you actually want to post in your blog. What is your mindset behind your blog post? What you looking to achieve by posing blog? Follow carefully what I am describing here:




Looking to Earn Money?


If your aim is to earn money with your site then I always recommend to proceed to the very simple approach.


Everyone would love to create something like the next Twitter, but due to all the programming and technical knowledge needed to build and maintain a site like that, it's not a good idea for the average person.


Even if you are going to pay a programmer to create your site, it would cost you thousands of dollars. It is beyond most of the peoples thinking that  the amount of resources that go into creating a site that offers user interaction and profiles.Besides this mainting a site like that is a huge task which also involves enormous amount of dollars.


As a newbie not to mention that you'd probably looking for free hosting space, which can cost nothing  month. At the you can forget the dedicated hosting space.


Yes, these sites look cool on the surface but there are a lot of hidden headaches that most people does not see.


So now let me explain "the very simple approach?" I'm encouraging you to do what I've done for publish my blog.


I don't own any fancy Twitter-like websites. I don't have a lot of Web programming n Web engineering skills. I just create sites on topics that interest me, draw in traffic and make money from affiliate programs like Google AdSense and other companies that helps me to publish advertisement in my site.


Spend quality time on the net grab your interested topics by visiting sites that interest you. How? Find out the information what you that not disclosed yet  by reseaching from the information you gathered. then post it in your blog in your way of thinking to your followers that you seemed to be helpfull for them. You'd create your site and then spend time learning about SEO (search engine optimization) so your pages get found in Google, Yahoo, etc.


Then you could make money from Google ads and refer other products that your audience may find interesting. For instance, you could join buxto.com's free affiliate program and refer others to join their range of offers to earn money..


Buxto provides you with the links to put into your site and you would earn a commission on every referals your site makes. They send you a check at the end of the month! There are thousands of affiliate programs like this.Go to here to learn more about it.


Forget about that just build and manage your site with Blogger by signing up with them and following easy n friendly instructions to start up.You could manage the site yourself with a program like Dreamweaver or CoffeeCup and you'd simply follow these website creation instructions to get started.


Or


If you wish you can use a program like Site Build It!, which was created to help people make money from hobby or personal interest websites. Their entire focus is to help you earn an income no matter topic you choose.






In double mind, What Topic is Best?


This is the question of millions!To be straight forward, nobody can answer it best. That's something you have to decide for yourself.


If your goal is to make money then I cannot stress how important it is for you to select something that holds your interest. Remember, this is going to be a site you will need to update frequently to keep your visitors interested and maintain your traffic levels.


So it's important you select something you know a lot about or at least have some interest in learning more.


Getting tired?? Don't be.... That's all for the day.






We'll come back with the rest ..........

How to create Blog

Blogs.........


Blogs are another kind of website. The content is usually organized by date and category with the most recent post/content displaying first.


Blogs are also easier to setup than websites, and because of this reason people are often lured into thinking blogs are a better option than websites.


But don't be fooled.


That doesn't mean they are easier to promote, build traffic and generate a profit (if that's your goal).


Both websites and blogs require work, patience, an understanding of Internet marketing and Search Engine Optimization (the process of getting ranked high in Google, Yahoo, etc.)


So please don't go into this thinking that creating a blog is an easier way to make money online. Even bloggers making a lot of money have put in their share of time and effort.


Another thing you should know is that blogs can be somewhat limiting compared to a website (in terms of design and data manipulation) until you learn more about how blogs are coded.




WordPress? Blogger? Which is Best?


WordPress and Blogger are hands down the two most popular blogging platforms. I honestly see no reason to consider any of the others.


Blogger is great because it's super easy to use. However, WordPress has a lot more features and plug-ins that will allow you to enhance your blog.




Remotely Hosted Blog or Self Hosted Blog?


Remotely Hosted


There are two ways to host a blog. The first way is to remotely host it-- which means your content/files literally sit on the server of the blogging platform (WordPress.com, Blogger.com, etc.)


There's always a risk involved with doing it this way because if Blogger or WordPress decide to shut your blog down (for whatever reason), you would lose all your content.


Although it doesn't look as professional to have a blog address like http://yourblog.blogspot.com or http://yourblog.wordpress.com. but for the beginners it may be better to start with..........




Self Hosted


With a self hosted blog, all your content sits on the hosting account that you own. Your blog address is more professional and easy to remember because you can have a true domain like http://yourblog.com.


As it is to say that hosting is so cheap these days that it's worth spending a few extra dollars to own your content and have a real blog address like http://yourblog.com -- for proffessional look.




My blog is a remote hosted blog with Blogger and  my blog address is http://www.taka4ubd.blogspot.com/


 
 
In Conclusion...


Whether you plan to create a stand-alone blog or use it to compliment your existing Web site, they can be a great asset to your online business.


Blog with a purpose: Give your audience useful information that will entice them to subscribe. Blogs with too many ads and no useful content are a turn-off.


Keep it relevant: Your blog's info should be relevant to your audience's needs and desires.


Blog often when you have good info to share: One of the top reasons people unsubscribe to blogs is lack of originality or the "heard it all before" syndrome.


Add personality: Crack a joke once and while. Let your audience know there's a human behind the words. Don't take yourself too seriously. Have fun and develop your unique blog voice.
