One of the hottest internet marketing trends nowadays is blog marketing. Back in the days, blogs were more like an online diary. Now, we can even use blogs to fully automate our income and live the life of our dreams.
The latest internet marketing trends show that almost every component of a blog can be utilized to make money. This article will break down each and every component so that you can turn your blog or passion into a money making machine.
1) The header
The header is arguably one of the most important blog marketing components. Your header is usually the name of your website, which should contains the keywords you are targeting. The more relevant your header is to your keyword, the more relevant traffic you will get. So instead of putting "John's money making blog", put "Internet Marketing Goodies" (if that is what you are targeting)
2) Tag line
The one sentence that lies below the header. Once again, make sure it has some important keywords, and make it relevant to your blog. All this boosts SEO ranking.
3) Sidebars
Here is where you can really monetize on your blog. Text ads, banner ads, links to your own products, affiliate links, JV product links, Google Adsense are great ways to earn extra income. These 'links' are essentially your online 24 hour salesman who are forever there to promote your products.
The Opt-In box is by far one of the most important components. Give your readers something juicy in exchange for their email and your have just turned your readers into prospects whom you can continue to provide value, establish a relationship and sell to over and over again. If you have no idea what free gift to give, look out for what other internet marketers are offering for free to their readers for ideas.
4) Blog posts
The title of the blog post is extremely important. Make sure it contains the main keywords you are targeting. The body of your blog post should also contain the main keywords on the first sentence of the first paragraph and also the last sentence of the last paragraph. This is to increase search engine rankings and relevancy. The more traffic you get to your blog, the higher chance of you monetizing. At the end of each blog post, create a call to action link, whether if its for them to comment on your blog post, to check out a related post, an affiliate link or a product. Bold the call to action and make it outstanding. We want to catch the readers attention.
5) Pages
In sales letters, normally we would only want to reader to do one thing or two things - buy or opt in. But in blogs, we want them to stay on your blog as long as possible to increase the chance of them doing something on your blog - clicking a link for example. We can do that by having a lot of unique, useful content on our blog posts and pages. Pages are a good way to increase a reader's time on a blog and decrease bounce rate (people who leave immediately after entering your blog). Some good examples of pages include an About Us Section, Contact Us, Submit A Story, Categories and many others. Get your readers interacting with you so you can establish a bond or relationship with them and make them your lifelong readers.
So these are 5 easy ways you can monetize your blog. Blog marketing trends are constantly evolving and we should always stay on top of the trends to find new ways to monetize our blogs.
