Targeted or niche blogging can bring in more income. And I am also planning on the same.

Good idea but I do differently. I put my sites in some directories, so a rest this site for 1 month, creating some post to it, then I start promote create awesome posts and social media.

Hi,

I would really like your help. I have written numerous blogs to try to promote click bank products. I always think I’ve done keyword search properly but I have NEVER gotten a single visitor to any of my blogs. I don’t have a website because I’ve been told you test your niche first with blogs. I’ve tried writing articles to article directories (article marketer) but just get frustrated because they always find a problem with my ariticles and they don’t go out.

I guess what I’m looking for is a real person or someone who’s written a manual on how to do keyword search that includes examples of the actual search and then the implementation of those keywords into a blog so I can SEE or be TOLD what I am doing wrong. I can’t understand manuals written for experts. I’m a nubie and I admit it.

I have spent countless hours in forums, watching videos but because the videos only show up to the decision of good keywords, I never get to see how they are implemented.

I DESPERATELY want to make a single sale. I DESPERATELY want to learn how to get something I’ve written SEEN on the Internet. I’ve tried reading other people’s blogs and I don’t say this to be cocky, but they’re either written by foreigners with a poor command of written English or they are written by junior high drop outs who don’t bother to proof read what they write. It’s very frustrating because I can’t really grasp what they are writing because of the broken sentences, and poor grammar use. No…I’m not a perfectionist, nor am I snob. I am someone who needs to be taught in plain, easy to understand (English) steps with enough detail so I can walk away feeling as though I really understand and KNOW that I am doing this right.

ISN’T THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN TEACH THIS STUFF EFFECTIVELY?

Wow… What an interesting approach. I like the idea of building a list and having those loyal customers with you. Building a relationship with your customer – a good relationship, can be one of the most powerful things any business owner can do. It’s so important. Anyway, great pointers. As for writing the articles, there’s actually some software out there that can help you write them, which should cut down the time even more. So great stuff. Anyways, take care.

I highly recommend Jonathan Leger’s Instant Article Wizard. The software quickly searches the major search engines for phrases and sentences containing your keywords, and then creates an instant, unique and informative article of 250-500 words.

Thanks for the tips,

Hi Yaro,

That’s a nice basic system, but I’ve found it’s easy to get 100 visitors a day within a week using social bookmarking and web2.0 sites.

Thanks for sharing though, it’s good to help others.

Yaro,

I listened to that call just the other day. I gotta go back and take some notes!

My system for blog posts are:

1. Pingoat
2. Onlywire
3. Stumble
4. Twitter
5. Delicious
6. Maybe shoot a quick video on the topic and throw it through TubeMogul.com & HeySpread.com to send it to all of the video sites.- for more links.

It’s been working wonders for me lately.

Cheers,

Chris

Excellent for first blogs.
Also for a good approach for multiple blogs.

If one’s creative flows better on multiple canvases at once, this would certainly allow an author to blog with some quality and success in different niches.

And could serve as a template for an authority blogger’s secondary efforts elsewhere.

Thank You.

I’d hate to admit how long articles even that short would take me. Still, I have been having similar thoughts for niche or microniche blogs.

Hey, Yaro:

Great tips for all!

In Q1/07, Greg and I managed to achieve a PR 3 with a brand, new site at BlueSkyBrothers.com.

We submitted an average of 2 articles/day, 5 days/week (we caught-up on our Z’s over the weekends).

By April 1st, a “3″ was no joke! LOL

Happy Blogging!

Just my 2 cents. I would use the timestamp feature in wordpress and create a weeks worth of articles over a day or 2. That way you are not rushed or pressed to get a post out on really busy days.

My quickest post has been 20 minutes, so I still have a bit of work to do.

Interesting method… provided bloggers are not mechanized making 12-minutes posts without passion. Because the passion about the topics is really important too.

This is an eye-opener Yaro. Thanks.
I’ve been struggling to make my blog noticed for awhile only to discover I am doing it the wrong way.

Again many thanks!

Monika – Thanks for your help. I think I joined up with textlinkads.com but they haven’t yet approved my blog. Not sure why…

You have to remember that this technique won’t build an authority blog, but that’s not the strategy. It’s about tapping into long tail keyword phrases, one article at a time.

I personally prefer the authority blog path, but obviously that takes more work and more time, but the rewards are more significant too.

For example, the writing I do here at EJ could probably be broken down into maintaining three niche blogs, writing three small articles a day to each blog. I could potentially make much more money that way, but I wouldn’t enjoy it as much.

This is a great strategy to test though if you are new to blogging and don’t want to throw yourself into something until you test it. If you can get 100 visitors a day and a 10% opt-in rate, then you should be able to increase that over time and go deep in that market, if you decide that’s what you want to do.

I haven’t listened to that phone call yet since I couldn’t get it to download to my mp3 player for some reason. I really need to get around to doing that.

Maybe I’ll burn it to CDs and listen to it on my drive up to my folks for Thanksgiving this week…

Useful stuff, blogmastermind is indeed a great prove of niche success.

By: John Sadler

John Sadler — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 08:44:46 +0000

Excellent stuff Yaro, a little bit different from the pillar article approach in your BlogMastermind series and a different outcome. Niche blogging is probably the best wy to get read and affiliate sales the best way to make money. A powerful combination!

Nice post. I know this is a little off-topic, but I was wondering Yaro, how you get the little “Ads by Feedburner” thing at the bottom of your RSS feed. Looks a nice little addition that I would love to add to my blog.

Cheers,
SF.

interesting and smart approach. looking back i have done about 70% of this, just need to get them to join an opt in list and give something away.

Well I’m bummed now!

After reading your article Yaro, I now know how dismal my conversion rate is for my newsletter. I’m only averaging 2.5%! Looks like it’s time to re-think my offer.

Thanks for a great article.

This is exactly what I needed to know for one of my niche blogs. I never thought of the email capture but now it seems so obvious!

I’d say: That’s fast food business. Writing one article of 250-500 words a day in 12 minutes is impressive. We often hear that “Content is King”, here, “SEO is king”. I’d be curious to see the quality of what’s being published daily. But hey… I understand that the point is to rank and to convert, so that’s probably a good methodology. And by ranking in organic, there’s no waste of money in AdWords, so it is even more profitable.

By: Jon Morrow @ OnMoneymaking

Jon Morrow @ OnMoneymaking — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 03:35:47 +0000

12 minutes? Holy cow, that’s fast.

From the time I start thinking about it until the time I post it on my blog, I usually spend at least two hours on each post. But, like you, I have a penchant for 1000+ word posts

Just out of curiosity, how does Jeff rank for those terms without any links from authority blogs? Or was that also part of the strategy?

Great advice. I currently use Aweber on my hookah business website. Would you be interested in doing an interview about the Hookah Lounge industry. It is a very profitable business to set up and costs very little. Thanks – John HookahBusiness.com
