There are basically two types of bloggers in the world - reporters and experts - and some people perform both roles (usually the experts, it’s hard for reporters to become experts, but it’s easy for experts to report).

If you have ever taken an Internet marketing course or attended a seminar specifically for beginners, you have probably heard about the two different methodologies. Whenever the business model is based on content, and if you blog for money then the model is based on content, people are taught to either start as reporters, or if possible step up as experts.

I’ll be frank; you want to be the expert.

Reporters leverage the content of the experts and in most cases people start off as reporters because they haven’t established expertise. Experts enjoy the perks of preeminence, higher conversion rates because of perceived value, it’s easier to get publicity, people are more likely to seek you out rather than you having to seek others out, joint ventures come easier, etc… experts in most cases simply make more money and attract more attention.



Most Bloggers Are Reporters



The thing with expertise is that it requires something - experience. No person becomes an expert without doing things and learning. Bloggers usually start out without expertise and as a result begin their blogging journey by talking about everything going on in their niche (reporting) and by interviewing and talking about other experts (reporting again).



There’s nothing wrong with reporting of course and for many people it’s a necessity at first until you build up some expertise. Unfortunately the ratios are pretty skewed when it comes to reporters and experts - there are a lot more reporters than there are experts, hence reporters tend to struggle to gain attention and when they do, they often just enhance the reputation of the expert they are reporting on.



Don’t Replicate Your Teacher



If you have ever spent some time browsing products in the learn Internet marketing niche you will notice a pattern. Many people first study Internet marketing from a “guru” (for lack of a better term). The guru teaches how he or she is able to make money online, and very often the view that the student gleams is that in order to make money online you have to teach others how to make money online.



The end result of this process is a huge army of amateurs attempting to replicate what their teacher does in the same industry - the Internet marketing industry - not realizing that without expert status based on a proven record and all the perks that come with it, it’s next to impossible to succeed.



Even people, who enjoy marginal success, say for example growing an email list of 1,000 people, then go out and launch a product about how to grow an email list of 1,000 people. Now I have no problems with that, I think it’s fine to teach beginners and leverage whatever achievements you have, the problem is that people gravitate to the same niche - Internet marketing - and rarely have any key points of differentiation.



How many products out there do you know of that all claim to teach the same things - email marketing, SEO, pay per click, affiliate marketing, and all the sub-niches that fall under the category of Internet marketing. It’s a saturated market, yet when you see your teachers and other gurus making money teaching others how to make money (and let’s face it - making money as a subject is one of the most compelling) - your natural inclination is to follow in their footsteps.



If the key is to become an expert and you haven’t spent the last 5-10 years making money online, I suggest you look for another niche to establish expertise in.



Report on Your Process, Not Others



The secret to progress from reporter to expert is not to focus on other experts and instead report on your own journey. When you are learning how to do something and implementing things day by day, or studying other people’s work, you need to take your process and what you do as a result of what you learn, and use it as content for your blog.



It’s okay to talk about experts when you learn something from them, but always relate it to what you are doing. If you learn a technique from an expert it’s fine to state you learned it from them (and affiliate link to their product too!) but you should then take that technique, apply it to what you are doing and then report back YOUR results, not there’s. Frame things using your opinion - your stories - and don’t regurgitate what the expert said. The key is differentiation and personality, not replication.



Expertise comes from doing things most people don’t do and then talking about it. If you do this often enough you wake up one day as an expert, possibly without even realizing how it happened, simply because you were so good at reporting what you did.



You Are Already An Expert



Most people fail to become experts (or perceived as experts) because they don’t leverage what they already know. Every person who lives a life learns things as they go, takes action every day and knows something about something. The reason why they never become an expert is because they choose not to (which is fine for some, not everyone wants to be an expert), but if your goal is to blog your way to expertise and leave the world of reporting behind you have to start teaching and doing so by leveraging real experience.



Experience can come from what you do today and what you have done previously; you just need to take enough steps to demonstrate what you already know and what you are presently learning along your journey. I know so many people in my life, who are experts simply by virtue of the life they have lived, yet they are so insecure about what they know, they never commit their knowledge to words for fear of…well fear.



Blogs and the Web in general, are amazing resources when you leverage them as a communication tool to spread your expertise because of the sheer scope of people they can reach. If all you ever do is talk to people in person and share your experience using limited communication mediums, you haven’t much hope of becoming an expert. Take what you know and show other people through blogging, and you might be surprised how people change their perception of you in time.



Reporting Is A Stepping Stone



If your previous experience and expertise is from an area you want to leave behind or you are starting from “scratch”, then reporting is the path you must walk, at least for the short term.



Reporting is a lot of fun. Interviewing experts, talking about what other people are doing and just being part of a community is not a bad way to blog. In many cases people make a career of reporting (journalism is about just that), but if you truly want success and exponential results, at some point you will have to stand up and proclaim yourself as someone unusually good at something and then proceed to demonstrate it over and over again.



Have patience and focus on what you do to learn and then translate that experience into lessons for others, and remember, it’s okay to be a big fish in a small pond, that’s all most experts really are.

Blogging for Profits...Solid Income

In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else''s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that''s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.

FREE: Discover The Time Tested And Proven Roadmap To Blogging Success…


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



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 commentor 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.

No Web Site for a business is like having no phone, a three legged stool with two legs missing.

1 Million Banner Impressions $5.99






Electronic Commerce to Expand the Smallest Business

Setting up the web site for a business is really the easy task. The real work begins to make use of the web presence and deliver profitable business from the site. Getting prospects to the web site and making use of the Internet for extending business success is the next order of the day.

The web page and the Internet has the unique ability to handle prospects not only 24 hours a day, seven days a week but can effectively sell and take orders from a mass number of customers at the same time. On the Internet prospects are all around the world. The United States, Canada, France, Great Britain and Australia all have ready access to the business as those who could drive up to a physical location and purchase from the store site.

Over the years the cry for a business was, "location, location, location". Now with the growth of the Internet the needs have changed. Joining location is the needs for "traffic, traffic, traffic". Without viewers, people finding and getting the exposure to the web sites delivers no sales on its own.

"No matter what your business is, without traffic to your web site you might as well not exist on the Internet."

A smart site on main street where the traffic was heavy and prospective customers had easy access to a merchant was demanded. The more people passing and convenient access was in high demand and commanded high property value. Over time as the towns grew every business couldn't afford the cost of a prime main street location and the development of strip malls provided for a lower location cost.

Major shopping malls became in demand where they were anchored by large chain stores that could attract large numbers of buyers from expensive advertising. In the major shopping malls visibility became a large concern. The best locations where the most prospects passing by could command compensating rents and determined the choice of location placement for business managers.

Today, with the advent of massive online shopping, location is now being replaced by the need for traffic clicking on merchant's web sites. Today location in search engines to drive traffic to web sites is important and better placements is to the web page's advantage for traffic. Now the need is for traffic and "clicks" to expose the products and services.

Whether paid inclusion in search engines and directories or simply pay for click links to web sites the delivery of visitors takes huge effort. The promotional work has so many avenues to attract customers it is a whole additional topic. The next blog entry will cover some ways an individual can make additional income taking on the task of driving traffic the web sites.

Click and join free Your viewers make you money.

The business with a web site offers prestige and standing in the eyes of the customers. A good impression of modern business practices builds esteem. A location on the Internet provides worldwide circulation of a businesses products and services. This expanded geographical presence extends the prospect base without any additional cost.

The most important advertising or promotion of a business web site COSTS NOTHING and is possibly the very best to bring people to the web page.
As soon as a business web site is published the inclusion of the URL right along side the phone number is mandatory. A business should not list a phone number without listing a web site address right along side.

Newspaper ads, telephone books, business cards, physical location signage, mailings, invoices, receipts every piece of paper listing the business name and phone number need the web site address prominently included. In fact special promotional efforts should be directed just to announcing the business web site and extra service available online as a new and unique feature of the business.

Reviewing expectations for the new Internet presence we know that our purpose is to build brand recognition, announce special sales, present new offerings, acquire new costumers, retain existing customers and with the additional opportunity of reaching beyond just the local area build profits and make more money for a business.

With all the tough times in today's economy, it can be difficult to get by. Debt can add up quickly, and expenses don't seem to be getting any smaller.

But that doesn't have to affect you.

There are so many opportunities out there for You, and many of them are in marketing. In times like this, businesses need an edge just to stay afloat; and that's in marketing.

But what if that edge was you?

Did you know that statistically 90% of small businesses do not have a website? So anyone in the local market that searches for them will not be able to find them. These days, that is the number one reason businesses lose customers.

Working with Local Businesses Equals Big Profits

Today, more and more people are doing everything from researching a great vacation, to paying their bills and even to buying their groceries on the Internet. In this day and age if you have a brick and mortar business and do not make use of the internet to market yourself, you are at a huge disadvantage. Surprisingly though, almost 95% of all off-line business owners are not on line, and most of those don't have a clue about the internet or how to use it to their advantage.

This is great news for Internet Marketers. If you are in the Internet Marketing business or have wanted to break into it, now is the time. If you are ready to cash in on enormous profits, you need to look no further than the small business owner s in your local community. Quite surprisingly this is an untapped market that is just starting to be discovered. There are a variety of ways that you can help the local business owner to become known on the Internet.

First and foremost you will want to build them a website that will be SEO (Search Engine) optimized. It will be important for the business owner to have a high search ranking for those searching for local businesses. On the website you should make sure there is an opt in page to collect data from potential customers. Starting and maintaining a blog on the business's website can also be very beneficial, just make sure you keep the blog running with useful information.

Blogging is the up and coming way to advertise and you will not want the small business owner to miss out on any opportunities. Having audio and video clips on the website can also attract new customers. Besides the website, there are also some other key things you can do to help the off line business owner. First, you will want to make sure that the business owner is listed on the internet yellow page websites. Second, you will want to get them registered with Google Local. Third, you can also work with the business owner to come up with coupons to lure in new and returning customers.

There are a variety of coupon sites that you can post these on. It is easy to see that the off line business owner could see a huge spike in their business if they were to tap into the internet market. Most brick and mortar business owners however, have no idea where to begin and yet they would love to have the edge on their competitors. So, if you are an internet marketer or looking to become one, now is the time to take action. Your fortune could very well be waiting for you.

A promotional campaign to attract an expanding audience of interested people who are willing to join building a stream of income or use a targeted product or service.


First mistake... NOT having a system of follow up marketing pointers for sales effort.
Do not waste advertising money with a "one shot does it all" and move on without making several attempts to selling Contacts. [Here is the need for some reason for the respondent to give a follow up contact number...e-mail address.]

A good auto response system set to make followup contact and deliver additional informational material is needed. Closing the sale and signing up the Contact is the name of the "game". Scoring is the result of efforts and keeping score is the number of Contacts that are willing to join our team or buy our products.

Second mistake... NOT making every effort to understand and enlist personal contact and build a personal relationship with each contact.

Not just, "here is the sales pitch", but a first hand account of what a contact is looking for and what and how they can build together and receive all the benefits. It is the FOLLOW UP and relationship trust and business building with contacts that make the money.

Don't always expect everyone to find what is being promoted so spectacular they are willing to spend their money at first glance. If what is being offered is truly worth the marketing efforts and the followup information to enlist the purchase will need to be advanced for each prospect many times. Listing the benefits and bonus offers for acting immediately.

First make the Contact, develop them into a Prospect and direct them into becoming a Customer.
Now more of the BATTLE begins!

Third mistake... NOT having marketing and follow up program, a winning sales agenda must be designed to build a series winning strategies to SCORE. That's the bottomline...making money, and building the income stream. In this case NEVER waste a precious newly found prospect! Time, money and effort has been spent, don't lose the sale.

Equally important follow up and continued contact is just as necessary as the original "sales pitch".

An Autoresponder System can perform the duty of set and continued followup. The Autoresponder System will send out customized, personalized information from you directly to your customers' inboxes at pre-determined times automatically without you having to send it. All you do is create messages to send, tell the Autoresponder when you want it sent and that's it.
