How, When And Where to Blog

Sometimes the easiest way to blog is not always the best place to find a home for your blog. Take for example blogging on a social network site such as Facebook. While it is a great place to place a link to a blog on another site, it is not great for blogging itself. And this is something you absolutely must take into account. There is a way to blog and a way not to blog. There is a time to blog and a time not to blog. There is a place to blog and places where blogging is not going to be as beneficial to you as another place may be. So how do you know how, when and where?

So why is Facebook not a great place to blog? For starters the website is not set up per se for blogging. You can add “notes” but you have to tag each of your friends and followers if they are going to be notified. And then it shows up on their page which may not go over so well if being inundated with “notes” is not their preference. You could wind up losing followers. That means you are not going to be making any money. And you will not make money from your blog alone on Facebook. You will have to put links to your website or to another blogging webpage if you want to utilize ads and banner ads for affiliate programs.

Establishing the fact that social networking sites such as Facebook are out, leaves you with places such as WordPress or even Blogspot.com. There are some ups and downs for each site but they do, at least, allow the use of ads and promoting affiliate programs. You just have to get traffic to the site. That leaves you with the proper time to blog once you figure out where. Try not to post late night blogs because many people will miss out on new blogs if you are consistently posting at odd hours. Try posting at the same time each day or every couple of days. You may not want to even blog every single day for fear of inundating your followers with too much information or repeated information. Have a set number of blogs for the week and stick with that schedule.

All that being said, there is a specific formula (or blueprint) for when to blog, how frequently, and how to get links to your original page and traffic to your individual blog posts. However, all this usually takes a lot of work. Not many people want to devote that kind of time to maintaining their blog on a daily basis. But there is a solution. A quick visit to Blogger Blueprint may be the perfect solution to your needs. You can cut down on your work load significantly by using something like Blog Blueprint.

6 Steps To Making My First Sale On Clickbank

ClickBank is the #1 information product affiliate marketing site,
but knowing what to promote can be daunting because they have
thousands of different products in  different categories for you
as an affiliate to promote.

I outline the steps I took to get my first sale in Clickbank. I
must emphasis that I am not a guru but just an average guy
like you looking to earn some extra income. The steps I took
are as follows

Step 1 – I set myself a Goal

The first thing I did was set a goal so that I can encourage
myself daily and work towards actually making that first sale. My
goal was to be able to pay my mortagage every month with
my net profits from Clickbank. Now that might sound impossible
at first but working backwards you can calculate what you need
to make in sales monthly, weekly, daily to achieve that goal. I
am close to achieving that goal but not yet.

Step 2 – Researched a Product that I could sell on Clickbank.

As I said in the beginning this might sound daunting but to
be honest I would suggest to start with looking in these
three categories on Clickbank. They are EBusiness & Marketing
Health & Fitness, Self Help. I suggest this 3 categories
because from my research the top products in these categories
sell like crazy and you can’t possibly go wrong if you pick
a product that is selling well and solves a potential problem
for people. My first sale came from a product in the Self Help
Category. However if you have a hobby or passion, feel free
to research a product that sells well and promote it.

Step 3 – Gave away something of value related to the product I was selling

I bought a Privale Label Rights product that I could give away on the
squeeze page that I would be creating so that I can give it away to my
prospects if they opt in to my list. There are many places
where I look for PLR products. These include Master-Resale-Rights.com
and PLRWholeSaler.com

Step 4- Step Up A Simple Website with Squeeze Page.

I set up a squeeze page to start collecting subscriber details
by giving away something of value that I got in Step 3. I did
this because most of my prospects coming to my sales page
would not buy from me the first time and I needed to cultivate
a relationship with them over time for them to win my trust and
do business with me. The key here is to give away something of
value to your list.

Step 5 – Drive Traffic To Website (JV’s, Article Marketing, Solo Ads)

Once I had my site set up I started driving traffic
to the website so that I can get prospects into my list
I used mainly article marketing, buying solo ads to drive
traffic to my website. Once I have built my lists to a certain
no, I am going to start looking for JV partners that I can work
with.

Step 6 – Promote to your list

Sent emails to my list regularly with advice, tips, tricks
to build relationships with them.

Those are the 6 Steps that I took to get my first sale in Clickbank. I
am continuosly refining these steps and I am continuosly tweaking the
steps to get more sales…

In my future posts, I will break down each step and give you more details
on how to set things up…

I strongly suggest you build a list if you are going to make
money with Clickbank. I made the mistake of not building a list
early in my Internet marketing career and it has cost me a lot of time
and money.

I hope you enjoyed this article and please feel free to drop me a
