The Newbie Twitter Cheat Sheet

When I first started using Twitter, I haven’t had a clue how 140 characters could simply convey your message to others. If you ask me about typing 140 characters on an SMS? Yes I can!

Back then Twitter was a bewildering world of a blue background, a cute blue bird, a tweet feed, profile info and a text box giving you enough space to write ONLY 140 characters. It was easy to key in 140 characters but how to turn 140 characters into something useful puzzles me. I don’t have a clue how Twitter can be so powerful for your website. Social media and Twitter experts began to rise and I soon learn how Twitter can be really useful for not only your website but also your business.

The trouble is there is a lot of noise! Everyone claims to be an expert and social media makes this annoyingly easier. So let’s start for all those of you who don’t know how to use it properly yet..

The Number ONE Blog Monetization Method

Previously on my post, passive income generation methods I’ve talked about many methods to make money for your blog although the typical blog model is not passive income friendly. Of course, there are numerous ways to make money online as I’ve mentioned in my most recent post. But not every way works well for everyone. However, one method that will surely draw people to continue to make money for you even though you haven’t start making any yet is through building a list. Regardless if you are making money actively or passively, building a list is A MUST to start seeing long term income coming in even up to years from now.

There are many popular autoresponders that can help you with building your list.

There Is No Holy Grail For Your Online Business!

1. There is NO Holy Grail

You need to repeat this 3000 times if not more so that it sticks in your head. The point is there are many ways to make money but not every method listed above works for everyone. To give you an example, Pat Flynn may have a way of making money from his iPhone apps on iTunes and earning from his niche sites but following in his footsteps will not necessarily make you as successful as him!

You may know everything you need to know about affiliate marketing or blogging but still you are not seeing any results. You study about SEO, traffic generation, commenting, link building, product creation but still it’s only making you a little bit or you are not having any success at all. And you wonder if you are just stupid or if you are missing out on something. Or you are just not cut out for it…

2. Find A Money Making Method that is Giving You Some Good Results

One of the most important things you need to do after trying all the money making methods is to find one or a few that you’ve done before and stick to it. It’s easy to lose focus when you are trying to concentrate on so many things and make everything work at the same time.

I still remember when I just started, Adwords, Adsense, affiliate marketing and blogging were some of the biggest things around and even today it is still very profitable except Adsense. Adwords sent me lots of impressions but none converted and it burns money like fire on paper. Adsense earned me pittance but it was still better than Adwords (But I won’t focus solely on Adsense if I were you). Affiliate Marketing had great potential but it required a lot of things to set it up. And then I found blogging. Blogging became my focus because it had the greatest potential to utilize all of those money making methods I’ve tried before. I saw great potential with blogging and that’s why this blog was born and it still exists today.

Just like how I found blogging as a way to make money, you must find yours.

4 Ways to Earn Money at Home Through e-Freelancing Sites

If you are like many women around the country right now, you’re struggling financially. Maybe your husband lost his job or had his hours cut, or maybe you’re just looking for ways to make some extra cash. Although the job market is in the pits right now, the workload for many companies has not diminished. Instead of hiring more full-time employees—which are expensive—many companies have turned to freelancers to help them out with the work they need to do. And in today’s technologically advanced world, you don’t even need to meet face-to-face with clients or go to any office to get your freelance gigs. You can find tons of opportunities over the internet through e-freelancing websites.

1)      oDesk: oDesk is one of the most successful e-freelancing sites on the internet right now. They posts thousands of job each month and set parameters in place that ensure you will get paid for the work you do. One of the biggest headaches of freelancing is collecting payment from your clients. However, since all of your oDesk payment transactions go through oDesk, they can assure you a weekly check for the work you’ve done and the money you are owed. Most of the work on this site tends to be web centered (IT, web design, SEO article writing), so if you have solid training, look no further.

2)      Elance: This is another great site for freelancing, and generally has a bigger variety of jobs than oDesk, ranging from web design and coding, to translation, customer service, marketing, and more. Although, it doesn’t have a guaranteed payment program like oDesk, it is also very reliable and has few problems with payments. It also offers premium placement for job bids for a fee if you want a better chance at landing the job that looks like a great opportunity.

3)      Sologig: This site is very similar to Elance and has a great selection of freelance jobs across a wide spectrum of fields and careers. Audio transcription, medical transcription, article wiring, and more are available. Sologig also has premium services you can pay extra for, but you don’t have to.

4)      Guru: Another great e-freelance site with a variety of jobs, Guru—like oDesk—offers guaranteed payment for those who are wary of potential employers who they have never met.

Are You Sniffing the right Social Media Crowd Through Your Business

Social media is available in a variety of different platforms making it a very useful tool for internet marketing. Although Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are some of the more popular social media networks, there are also free video sharing services such as YouTube that can be easily used by companies as a marketing method. In fact, there are companies that have created commercials and other videos specifically to be viewed on YouTube and other free video sharing services. This occurs because many companies realize how popular such sites are, and they value the exposure that is possible by using these sites.

Mastering The Art Of Publishing Top Ranking Blog Posts

Reviewing the traffic statistics of blog posts it becomes evident how undereducated many bloggers can be when it comes to keyword strategy that places articles at the top of search engines. The greatest difficulty most bloggers seem to have is understanding that blogging is not like traditional copywriting. Marketing blogs online involves optimizing your content words in order to leverage on search engines and thereby have more viewers. To do this, you have to understand how to choose and use keywords.

How to determine which keywords are the right ones for your article?

To begin, you’ll want to use a keyword research tool. Options are available, some of which are free while others require a small fee. You can use Google Suggest that generates the top ten keywords based on a word you choose or you can use the Google Keyword Tool which provides a list of exact or phrase keywords together with their monthly local and global number of searches. These numbers give you a good idea of who is searching for what and what the trends are on a world wide scale. Also, Overture offers a keyword research tool that links to Yahoo’s search engine. It is a good idea to pick words that have a substantial monthly search volume and a relatively low competition. Using these words at the start of your headline will massively increase your chances of ranking at the top of Google search results for the particular keywords.

No BS Basic SEO Do's and Don'ts

Basic seo for blogs can be divided in to two parts for ease of understanding. In simple words, they are Dos and Don’ts. Seo is not only concerned with what you have to do to increase your ranks but it also focuses on what should not be done in order to rank high for keyword searches. Here are the details you need to know.

The DO’s

If you own a blog, it is easy to monetize your blog and earn a good income from it by learning basic seo. The first thing to know when it comes to optimizing your blog fro search engines is your target audience. Once you are clear with it you can then do a keyword research on what your audiences are looking for. Pick the keywords carefully and use them while you write blog posts because this is what will help your audience to find the blog among hundreds and thousands of web pages.

The Don’ts

Things that you must avoid in SEO include over usage of keywords and phrases, and links from bad neighborhood. Often amateur bloggers make the mistake of using keywords more than the prescribed density and this flaw is known as keyword stuffing. This viewed seriously by the search engines because it misleads them in their judgment of website worthiness. This could end up in penalizing of your blog by search engines.

10 Blogging and Social Media Infographics For Businesses

We’ve read a lot about how important blogging and social media networks are for businesses. Sometimes it’s difficult to imagine what the impact is like unless we have a visual idea of how important these 2 areas are for businesses. Gone are the days when traditional media is the only way to spread the latest and current trends. Here are some notable quotes:

“Social marketing eliminates the middlemen, providing brands the unique opportunity to have a direct relationship with their customers. Bryan Weiner, CEO at Digital Agency 360i”

“Ultimately, brands need to have a role in society. The best way to have a role in society is to understand how people are talking about things in real time. Jean-Philippe Maheu, Chief Digital Officer at Ogilvy”

I’ve written about best social media practices and how important blogging is for businesses but maybe you might not get the whole idea, so I’m going to show you what the stats are.
