Blogging For Business Series

Want to become a successful blogger?

Have you ever heard of a professional blogger- someone who actually makes their living from their blog(s)? For example, do you know who Yaro Starak is?

Yaro Starak

Starak started out with an online business that was making around $50.000 which took quite a bit of time out of his day. He was selling on eBay and some other various income producing activities online but it wasn't really fun for him. So in 2004 he began what became a passion with a laser focus on blogging. Here's a quote:


"In 2004 I started a blog and since then I’ve gone on to create an entire business based
just on blogging and to put it bluntly, it has changed my life." Yaro Starak

Starak averages around $30,00 per month blogging for business. One of the keys to his success is not putting all his eggs in one basket. The way I can best explain this is to show you how I'm trying to do the same thing...

My Two Blogs

This blog is specific to network marketers who are considering Agel or who are on my Agel team
http://www.agelrenegade.com/

This blog is specific to network marketers who are learning internet network marketing for any MLM and want my help
http://www.internetmlmnow.com/

Both blogs are monetized with sponsors like Google Adsense and affiliate programs that I've bought into that have helped me get into fast forward online money making FUN-damentals - meaning I am finally into passive and residual cashflow that isn't from my primary business, Agel.

So do this - decide you are going to maintain two blogs - one generic and one related to your company by name. That's today's assignment! Stay tuned. You can also visit this section of my generic blog --->http://internetmlm.squarespace.com/internet-marketing-blog/

Blogging For Business DAY THREE - Your Target Market!

Did you do day one and two? Your title tag should be waving at Google by now but you won't know it for a while. Blogging for business is like a Christmas count down. You can not wait until you bring in business but you have to! Every day you wake up thinking, almost here! Think of all the anticipation while you decorate the house, putting up lights outside, getting the tree up, singing Christmas carols, sending seasons greetings - a lot of fun just preparing for the day.

Here Comes Santa Claus!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane! The fast lane of Internet traffic will happen in the night so get out the cookies and milk because here comes business!

Get Ready For Santa Google!

Google does not like tricks. Google likes treats. Post a treat every day so that when Google comes, cookies and milk will get Google attention. Every day, using keywords and tags, write a post that your target market would be interested in. For example, my overall target market is "network marketers." See how I did a little bolding of that keyword phrase... for Google, that's a treat.

If I narrow that target marget a bit, it actually becomes a longer keyword phrases like "renegade network marketers." Now do not use bolding a lot. Too many treats can make Santa Google sick.

If I narrow my target down to the bullseye, the keyword phrase even gets longer, "Agel renegade network marketers."

So today, DAY THREE in preparing for Santa Google you have to decide just exactly who your target market and what market is the bulls eye. Then write several posts using your target market's search terms (keyword search tools can help. More about that and tags tomorrow, Day Four in Blogging For Business!

How To Build A Business Blog... DAY TWO: What Is A Title Tag And Why Should You Care?

All web content that you write has a title tag; blogs, hubpages, ezine articles, advertising - all of it. Title tags as mentioned in the post before this one is a way to say hello to Google. Now all by itself won't be a big enough hello but it is important in getting Google's attention.

For example, my title tag begins with "Agel." See the blue bar above... "Agel" is a keyword I am going for, right? But it is highly competitive. Google sees a whole lot of blue bar title tags that begin with the word "Agel."

Google "Agel" right now and the results will be in the millions, 2,870,000 to be exact. That's too competitive. But Google "Agel Renegade" and results drop down to 12,700. And right now, this blog is in the top spot of page one! So the first of 12,700 results is me!

So when you name your blog, or article or Squidoo lens, for a while, stay in the 12,000 to 22,000 range of results at Google for your first two words. Later, as you learn more about how to optimize your site, you can go for more competitive keywords.

So, now go build your business blog with a 12,000 to 22,000 Google results title.Then write one post that is at least 500 words. Then publish it.

Don't worry about how junky or short your blog is. Just publish it. No one will see it until you send traffic to it. Once you build it they will come if you "point to it," then you can dress it up a bit.

How to "point to your blog" is next, see you tomorrow!

How To Build An Agel Business Blog - First Things First

Blogging can be free. This entire website is free. I am advertising my Agel MLM business here for free! Who knew! Blogging for business is the new attraction-based business model for the network marketing industry.

It is soooo much easier for find people who are interested in MLM. What do we need to build a downline? Interested people. Not people who couldn't care less about MLM. There is absolutely no need to convince any one. Blogging to build an Agel business will attract people who are already convinced.

A strong downline means a network of "believers" in network marketing, what I call the best business model of all time. MLM is only a little over 50 years old. The world has yet to see the value of MLM but because of the power of the Internet, that is changing, BIG TIME!

It takes a few months to bring in the right traffic to your blog. But believe me, it is well worth the time. Big business takes time, but if you build it, they WILL come!

All you have to do is learn how to attract targeted traffic blogging. We do not need a huge amount of traffic, but we must attract readers who are either interested in Agel or interested in MLM. Any one can learn how to build a blog and bring in the best candidates to build a downline.

First Important Detail

To attract targeted traffic to your business blog, whether it is to build your Agel business or any business, the first important detail is the title.

That may seem to simple but look at the top blue bar above. That is the "title tag." Think of it as a way to get in touch with Google and other search engines saying, "Tag! You're it!"

Tomorrow, let's put together your title tag! It is the first building block toward exploding your business blogging!
