Making Money On The Internet

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

The people that run headfirst into an online marketing business, with wild expectations are surely headed for a very rude awakening. It is an unrealistic and often unfounded mindset that many people fall into. The idea of not having to do any work on your business once the web site is set up is purely preposterous. There is however, a difference between being naive, and being a full-blown idiot. Any one that believes the money will just roll in while they do nothing to improve their site or any work at all for that matter, is naive.

The person that just doesn't want to work at all, on this endeavor or otherwise, and expects money to just fall into their laps, is indeed the full-blown idiot. Making money on the Internet is hard work. You have to put in the time in order to make it work. Sometimes the dice do not roll your way, this is a proven fact all through life's endeavors, and the ones that want to make it and be successful do not just roll over and give up. Would it not be nice to have a plethora of customers that are completely obsessed with what it is you have to offer?

Not everything goes as planned in business, yet there are ways to make it. Many do after facing major problems; you just have to train yourself to believe you will too. The object of this training is for you to become more than just a dreamer, rather a producer of what it is you see and want for yourself. This is not unrealistic, nor is it unreasonable to ask. You know you have, as much right as the next person to succeed, the difference is all boiling down to wanting it, and merely dreaming of it. This is truly a skill that most have to learn, some have a gift for it but the ones that need schooling can relax knowing it is not an impossible task.

Clearly the way to go is to create and control markets rather than chase after them and hope to sell what it is you need to get rid of. There is no easier medium to peddle your goods to the public than the Internet, and it's web based marketing services. When someone looks at their browser to find a solution, or a place to get what it is they need, it is your site you want them to go too. The good marketers will want to have the solutions, and the product for every need anyone could ever have. Now this is clearly not realistic, however, the idea of it does have its merits. What I am getting at is simple, what people want is what you should want to sell. What exactly you may ask entails staying power? Well it is a healthy mixture of dedication, consistency, persistence, and perseverance.

Network Marketing Tip

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

There are a few network marketing tips that you could follow to make sure that your network marketing business is as successful as it could be. First you will want to pick your network marketing programs from a reputable list from very reliable sources. After you have your list, you will want to enroll in at least two or three of the network marketing programs. Since there is no guarantee that any program will not go out of business, it is important to not put all of your eggs in one basket. There is some truth to the saying that there is safety in numbers.

Take your one core network marketing company that is at least five years old and build on it. Make sure it is the best one that you can find. You will want to continue to promote your other network marketing businesses while you are continuing to promote your slower, but stronger core program. You should also pick a financially sound network marketing company or program. This will ensure that you feel good about your company and your product. This will help you to feel good about the company and the products that you are promoting. There is no better feeling than being able to tell your customers the prospective truth about your products.

Only get into network marketing companies that you have complete faith in. If you do not have faith in the company or the product, then how can you expect to inspire faith in the product or company? If you can’t inspire faith, then no one will want to buy your product or service. Stick with companies that have a few years of success behind them. Make sure that you can get all the literature on your chosen company so that you can read up on them and their product. It will make your life easier.

One tip you should follow is to keep your lead generating methods separate from your network marketing business promotions. It is completely legal to promote an opportunity any way that you choose; however, you do not want to tie this promotion directly to your network marketing company.

Another tip you should follow is to pick up as many books on the topic of network marketing as possible. Read anything you can get your hands on and hang onto the ones that you find especially useful. They can get you on the right track to success. Keep in mind that starting your network marketing business will take time and you will need to be patient. It could take months before you can expect anything to start to happen in your company. You should stick with your new business for at least a year before you bail out on it.

Tips for Promoting Your Home Business Website

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

Do you have your own home-based business? Do you have a website for it? If so, then you need to promote the website for your home business to bring in even more business. There are a few tips for promoting your home business website that will bring you more customers.

One-way to promote your home business website is to list it with the search engines. A search engine is an Internet directory that is designed to make your website easier to locate and easier for a potential customer to access it. Each search engine listing will include a link to your website. If your website does not get listed within the top twenty of the major search engines, then chances are that your website will rarely be seen. Since a recent survey showed that between 84% to 92% of Internet users the world over use search engines to find what they need, you would definitely want to take advantage of this tool. The top three search engines to be listed in are MSN, Yahoo, and Google.

Another way to promote your business website is via RSS feeds and blogs. A blog is just a short way of say Web Log. Blogging is just basically uploading text onto the same place on the Internet daily, weekly, monthly, or at least on a regular basis. The best people to blog are people who write because it is their passion. You can hire someone to do this for you or you can do it yourself. There are many websites on the Internet that are dedicated to web logs.

Have you ever went to a website and see a banner at the top of the page advertising another website? This is another form of promoting your business website. You can create a banner with a simple paint program, like Photoshop. If you want to animate it, there are animation programs out there, too. There are many banner exchange websites online that will allow you to place your banner on their website. Banner exchanges are pretty easy to participate in; however, these types of exchanges most likely will not let you pick and choose whom you want to trade with.

Another way to advertise your home business website is by opt-in mailing. Bulk emailing is the practice of sending mass quantities of email to lists of “unqualified” email address. This is considered Spam and is considered to be in bad taste. If you send unsolicited email to people that do not want commercial email, you will run the risk of ruining the reputation of your business and getting into trouble with your ISP. It is best for you to use targeted direct email. This means that you will be sending your email to people that have approved or opted in to receive this type of email. There are many websites on the Internet that provide this type of service for you and are definitely worth checking out.

Network Marketing Lead

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

So you are having success with your network marketing business, and have just met someone who wants to know more about how to get started, too. Good for you! This is your first network marketing lead! In network marketing, part of your earnings as an independent representative comes from your own sales, but the best way to make a lot of money is to sign on other representatives. When you do, you will earn a royalty percentage on their sales as well.

The network-marketing representatives that you sign up are commonly called your ‘downline’. Remember, these people are going to be a major source of income for you, even more so than most of your customers. You always want to treat your downline with respect and courtesy! A few of your customers might begin using the new representative to place their orders with, because of convenience or a long-standing friendship. Remember, this happens all the time, and it is nothing to get upset about. You will still be earning a percentage of that customer’s order! And not only that, you will earn a percentage of every other customer order that your downline representative earns, including customers whom you might have never contacted otherwise. So do not warn your downline to stay away from your customers—this is counterproductive and can offend the very people who will be making you the most money.

Also, think back to when you started your own network-marketing career. Did you have questions? Were you ever confused, or did you ever feel lost? Did you have any problems inputting your orders or receiving your products to distribute? The person who helped you become involved in network marketing probably helped you out in all of these situations, and you were grateful for it and motivated by their knowledge and success. The same is true of your downline. Network marketing can seem complex and difficult to some people as they are just learning how to make it work. Giving your network marketing leads a little of your time and energy now will create a much better working relationship for you and your downline, a better career for them, and more earnings for you. It is truly a wise investment to spend a little of your time nurturing your downline!

Finally, remember to treat your network marketing leads like the individuals they are. The business model that works for most of your network marketing leads will not necessarily work for this latest member of your downline. You must be willing to be flexible, and think outside the box when it is needed. Remember that every bit of help that you give to your new network marketing lead will be returned to you as money in your pocket!

Take This Job and Move it – Home

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

The idea of finding work at home opportunities seems rather far-fetched. Someone looking for work at home opportunities typically doesn’t know how to start looking for that type of home office work, nor do they even take the time to reflect on whether they’re suited for working at home.

Surprisingly though, work at home opportunities might just be one of the easiest work opportunities to find, if you’re already employed. Why? Because working at home opportunities are often available for the current employer of the person looking for that work at home opportunities.

That’s right. The job a person has right now – that job for which he or she rises at 6am, for which she or he dresses in suit or career attire only to sit in stalled rush hour traffic for a couple hours a day and then in a little cage with the other workers for another eight hours, just might be one of the work at home opportunities.

Most jobs can be done at least part time from home – or any location where the means of communication and the necessary information is available. The general rule of thumb for determining if a job can be done at home is to think about whether one could close the door and have contact with no one else for a few hours and still complete job tasks successfully. If the answer is yes that job is one of the many part or full time work at home opportunities.

Work at home opportunities isn’t nearly as dependent on the right job tasks as they are dependent on the right workers. Not everyone is the right temperament for working at home. A smart supervisor allows someone who requests a work at home opportunity to complete a self-assessment first. This self-assessment may let that worker know that she or he is better off working in the office with others.

If the self assessment is completed with that employee still requesting consideration for work at home opportunities, then an assessment of the worker by the supervisor must be completed. Issues for consideration are job knowledge, self-motivation, autonomy, enough technical knowledge to troubleshoot basic computer problems, trustworthiness, a safe and secure home environment and a quiet home office that will allow for work flow and conversations that will be seamless to clients.

Writing press releases

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

So you have a new and bright web site that you will be putting in circulation very soon, you will need advertising for this site to make a big splash on the market. How does one go about writing a big press release for an impending site introduction? You are not alone if you are unsure on this, but there are a few pointers to get you started, and are successful at it at the same time.

Keeping in mind that you are going to need the public’s attention, on this media release it is important to remember the fact that the news sells. What you need is very persuasive communication to get your point across. If an editor finds material that makes false promise of nonsense claims that are just not reasonably accepted, they will trash the media release. Some of the most common are one of a kind, changing the face of the planet, or everyone wins. The entire premise is to act and think like a reporter to get the word out in that media format. If the release is not in a journalistic format, it will not be taken seriously.

A good measure would be to make the title around ten words, keep it short to grab attention. Brief summary or the information should be in the headline, and should be dynamic and bold. You are trying to reach mass public; it should be as broad as a roadside sign or billboard. The best way to get a good review is to have the editor notice your release above all others, this can be done in just a few words. Just like all good journalists know the most potent and important part of the release is always the opening paragraph. This can be referred to as the summary lead. It is always the most important facet of any release that you incorporate the common 5 w’s of journalism, not excluding the single and ever important h. who, what, when, where, and the single how are the mainstay in quality information that everyone truly looks for when reading a release. It is imperative on this note to include them.

This is the beef of the information with the introduction and the closing statements surrounding this bulk. It is the introduction that leads the readers down the path of craving more on the subject it must be powerful. This opening paragraph is what is known as the hook. This hook not only has to grab the audience’s attention but the press and the editor as well. Not always an easy task. The hook in every sense of the word is strictly fact and not a method of persuasion to the masses.

Selling your Home Business

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

Do you have a successful home business? Do you feel that it is about time to move onto a new venture in life? If this sounds like you, you may want to look into selling your home business. When you started out this was probably the furthest thing from your mind, but sometimes things happen. And now you find yourself in the position of wanting to sell your home business. Even though this sounds like an easy enough task, there are actually a lot of details that you will have to consider. After all, you put your heart and soul into making your home business the best. You want to make sure that you get what you deserve, right?

The first thing that you will need to do when selling your home business is come up with an idea of how much money you would like to get for it. Setting a price early on will allow you to negotiate more easily down the line. By skipping this step you may end up losing out on money that is yours when you make the sale. Actually setting a price to sell your home business for is not the easiest thing to do. You need to take into consideration the amount of money that you currently earn, as well as how much growth potential there is. Some people will tell you that you should sell your home business for your monthly income x 12. This may make sense in some situations, but you may be selling yourself short if you do this. You need to make sure that you are compensated for the money that you would make down the line as well.

After you know how much money you want to sell your home business for, the next step is to find a buyer. This can often be the most difficult task. You can place ads both in print and online in order to get the word out. If you are having no luck on your own, there are brokers that can help you out with the sales process. They are more or less responsible for bringing buyers and sellers together. This may be your best option if you do not want to do a lot of the work on your own. Search online to find a broker that can help you sell your home business. In no time you will have plenty of brokers to choose from.

If you are at the point where you want to sell your home business you are lucky. Not a lot of people make it this far. In order to get a fair price for your home business, make sure that you ask what you want and stick to your guns.

Research the options that are available online, and then make a decision as to which ones will work best with you and your current schedule. You may even find a weekend job on the Internet that you can turn into a full-time job over time if you so desire.

2. Some people think that delivering the newspaper is for kids, but if you want to make some extra money on the weekends it is also a good option for working folks. Check with your local paper and see if they are hiring for weekend delivery people. Doing this a couple of days a week can make you a bit of extra money without having to put in too much time and effort.

Make Easy Money Selling E-Books.

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

Can you get rich selling e-books? While Bill Gates' type money isn't guaranteed, you can earn a very nice income selling e-books online.

E-books are electronic versions of printed material that can contain text, sound, and images. The profit potential from selling them is high because start up and operating expenses are very low. The biggest expense is purchasing books for sale.

You can earn even more money if you write some of your own e-books. Your writing skills don't have to be stellar. There are online sources that will take your research and craft an e-book for you. Some of these companies even take care of marketing, payments, and shipping.

Buying e-books for Sale

You can purchase e-books from authors online. EBay is another source for e-book buying. Purchase e-books with resell rights. This allows customers to sell the e-books they buy from you themselves thus providing an incentive for them to do business with you.

Make sure the e-books you buy (or write yourself) are full of useful information and resources. Some e-books are nothing more than ads and sales pitches for the writer's products. These "ad books" will turn off customers and decrease repeat business.

Do your research to determine what types of information people are seeking. Getting rich selling e-books will depend on the topics covered, customer base, and marketing campaign.

Before buying an e-book for resale, do an online search for the title. If lots of web sites are selling the book, it's probably a popular title and will be a good seller. It also helps to sell e-books that cater to a specific market niche. Search online forums and other group sites to locate potential target markets for niche titles. Contact these groups with a short email inviting them to visit your site. Offer an incentive such as 20% off first purchase to increase site traffic.

E-books about current trends or hot topics will generate more income. Your income will really get a boost if you can spot the "next big topic" and write or purchase e-books to sell before the competition saturates the market.

Marketing Extras

You can use a common template for your e-books web site or sell them on an existing site you already have. However, to stand out from the competition, create you own web site to sell e-books. Always add new titles to your stock to keep old customers coming back and to attract new ones. Use email to notify customers of new titles and special sales. Offer discounts on slow moving titles.

Affiliate programs are another way to get rich selling e-books. The affiliate pays you a commission for each e-books you sell. To earn extra cash from e-books you write, start your own affiliate program.

There are plenty of online and print books that will help you learn how to get in on the e-book sales bandwagon. A good place to begin reading is "Make Your Knowledge Sell," by Ken Evoy and Monique Harris.

The NetMarketer

If you are a stay at home mom you may be getting the urge to do something more with yourself. You may want to make a bit of money while staying at home with the kids all day. One of the best ways for any stay at home mom to make money is by using eBay. This may sound a bit far fetched, but the fact of the matter is that thousands of people have turned eBay into a full-time job. And to take this a step further, there are many people who have become millionaires by using eBay to buy and sell items. If you work hard at it, you can be next in line for the profits that are being made on eBay everyday of the week.

At this point you may be wondering how eBay can make you money. This is something that a lot of people have on their mind. Using eBay to make money is quite simple. You will list items for sale, and then wait for other people to bid on them, or purchase at a predetermined price.

But in order to get started with this you will need to have items that you can place for sale on eBay. There are a few ways that you can go about getting these items.

1. To find items to sell on eBay you may want to become a regular at garage sales and flea markets in your area. At these events you can buy items for cheap, and then turn around and sell them for a large profit on eBay. This is one option that a lot of stay at home moms opt for when looking for items that they can sell on eBay

2. Another option to consider is making your own products, and then listing them on eBay. For instance, some people make crafts such as candles and then list them for sale. You may not think that there is a large audience for this type of thing, but there are many people that make a lot of money doing just that.

3. Stay at home moms can get their start on eBay by selling items that they have laying around the house. Chances are that your garage or attic is full of junk that you no longer use. But just because you think that the items you have are junk does not mean that somebody else will. By just selling items that you have in your home you may be able to get your start on eBay. And with the money that you initially make, you can then in turn buy more items. Pretty soon you will notice that your profits are growing.

Some of these home businesses are the usual brick and mortar things where you physically hold the goods and deliver them to the buyer while other are more abstract which involves selling goods and services as brokers over the Internet.

As long as you are willing to invest and work on your investment to grow, you can always make money online.

Online business could be very profitable if you put your heart in it. There are many areas to choose from ranging from freelance writing, designing, selling commodities and network marketing. Selling commodities online and network marketing are one of the easier ways of earning online, as these two don’t really need specific skills and talents. Anybody who can read, type and post messages can sell products on the Internet. You don’t even need to have your own website if you want to sell your wares through popular auctions sites. These auction sites would simply give you a space to post your commodities for sale and they take a portion of the sale as commissions. Many people have earned considerable income in this kind of home base business. In fact, many people would consider this as one of the top home base businesses online.

Aside from directly selling commodities to customers online, multi-level marketing is a thriving online business.

Factors That Best Determine A Home Based Businesses

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

These days many individuals are throwing away their desk jobs at corporate headquarters for a convenient job in the home. There are so many reasons why individuals choose to work from home. Some have home-based businesses so that they may take care of their children and still acquire money each month to pay the bills. Others prefer to work from home as they are tired of making long commutes to and from their office and simply feel that they can get more done by working from home. For those who are looking for the perfect work at home position, there are a few factors, which equate with a best-rated home-based business.

Good Work Environment

When an individual chooses to work from home, it is necessary that they have a comfortable and efficient homework environment. This usually entails having a home office set up so that one can work in the home setting yet not have to deal with the daily distractions that may occur without a home office. A good work environment is one factor, which equates with a best-rated home-based business.

Lucrative

In order to be a best rated home-based business, the business itself must be lucrative. If a business is not making money and not of a lucrative nature, one cannot say that it is the best business possible as after all businesses are mainly about revenue. A business that is lucrative is one, which is considered to be a best rated home-based business.

Good Products and/or Service

When an individual runs a business, they are most likely selling a product or offering a service to the general public. One must have a business that sells good products or offers valuable services in order to be a best rated home based business. If the business itself is one, which has a high demand for the item being offered, it is one, which will be lucrative, and ultimately a best rated home based business.

Conclusion

Working from home provides a wealth of opportunities for many individuals. Not only does it provide a way for individuals to gain a steady income but it allows them to cater to their other needs as well. Parents are able to stay at home with their children and not have to put them in a day care facility and individuals do not have to struggle with long and arduous commutes day after day. In order for one’s business to truly be a best rated home based business, it should be set in a good work environment, lucrative in nature and offer good products and services to the general public. If all of these factors are met, one has a good chance of having a successful business.

The Wave of the Future

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

If you are a home based business opportunity seeker, congratulations. You may not know it, but you are an innovator, and you are helping redefine how the world conducts its business. With the rapid expansion of the Internet, sooner or later you will find the financial rewards that you are looking for.

In any societal revolution, it is the people who try to do things better who come out on top. When the Agricultural Revolution happened, the men who understood farming and husbandry gained the most. When the Industrial Revolution came about, it was the men who harnessed the power of machinery who became the wealthiest. And today, in the Information Revolution, it is those who can understand and harness the power of the worldwide web that will dictate the future.

As a home based opportunity seeker, you are one of the elite group of people who have awakened to the potential of this new medium. Whether you know it or not, each day that you surf the internet, looking for new things and better things, you are contributing to the advancement of internet business, a process that started so very recently, yet has advanced faster than what we could have ever imagined.

In today’s world, everything is fair game. If you have something to offer the world, it doesn’t really matter who you are and where you came from: you have an opportunity. More and more, the global marketplace does not look into an individual’s skin or his religious leanings. Today, it is more about what you can provide. Again, you must understand that you have something to offer, and it is your job to let the world know that you are in business.

The particulars of the product you offer will have little bearing in your success. It is the quality of that product, and the way you market it, that will determine whether or not you get the financial rewards you seek. Whether you are a lawyer, an accountant, a salesman, or a plumber, you must learn to take advantage of the opportunity that has opened up for literally millions of people around the world. In this day and age, opportunities are everywhere. Be on constant lookout, and you cannot fail to spot the many chances that come your way with each passing day.

Remember: It is all about quality! If the goods and services you offer will solve someone else’s problem that person will be more eager to buy than you are to sell. As a home based business opportunity seeker, make it your business to “solve” the problems of other people. Provide for what they need, and they will be glad to provide for what you need.

What Is The Best Rated Home Based Business?

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

Interestingly enough, the answer is not a “what” so much as a “how.” In other words, any home based business will be considered the best rated by a certain segment of users – usually the ones who have figured out how to turn a profit – while others will give the same business opportunity a cold thumbs down. The reason for this rating is not the fact that the business itself is not sustainable, cannot be marketed, or has too high of a start up cost, but instead usually an individual or group of individuals have not been able to make it work for them.

For this reason it is important to be highly selective when choosing a home business opportunity. The business must be something you like, enjoy doing, and can stand behind. For example, if you decide to sell blue-green algae, you need to honestly and truly believe in the product, its benefits, and versatility, while also being familiar with its production, origin, and future applications. If you cannot get excited about blue-green algae, then you should not try to sell it, since the only thing folks will see is your credibility – or lack thereof – not the great product that sells itself.

Incidentally, you can see this scenario played out time and again on a car lot where some salespeople will rake in the sales left and right while others seem to perpetually get the “just looking” crowd. It is not so much the luck of the draw as the ability of the salesperson to exude confidence, knowledge, and excitement about the product at hand. Whom would want to buy a car from – the person who is pleasant but vague about the ones on the lot, who needs to consult the sales literature to give you the benefits of a given make and model, and who needs to incessantly check in with her or his manager for deals, or the one who can engage you with their own excitement about the benefits of the car, the way it accelerates, the wonderful paint options, the silence of the road when you are nestled inside the seats, and the incredibly low price?

The same is true for any product that you see online. Whether it is blue-green algae, vitamins, credit cards, vacations, or credit counseling – you need to know your product inside an out, stand behind it, love it, know its benefits, and engage your audience.

For this reason it is somewhat futile to look for the best rated home based business, since that which will work for others may not work for you. What good would the rating do, if blue-green algae are simply not something that interests you? It does not matter how many people have made money from it, if it is not your passion, the odds are against you. So instead of ratings, look for business opportunities that interest you, which speak to you, which you can see yourself pursuing not only now but also in the long run!

Promoting With Search Engines

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

Have you ever had a friend call you and say, “Hey, I Google myself today and actually found me!” Cool, you think. You go to your computer and try to Google your friend as well. Nothing comes up. You tell her. “Oh, well, you have to click “next” at the bottom of the page. Keep clicking that until you’re on like, the forth-seventh page—do you see me yet?” Of course, just keep clicking “next,” why didn’t you think of that?

You didn’t think of it for the same reasons millions of other people searching the Internet don’t think of it. They’re either in too much of a hurry to pay attention to anything after the first results page, or they’ve come to believe that anything after the first results page isn’t as interesting or helpful.

Getting your website and business on search engines is a good way to help promote yourself, but getting to the top of the search engines is where you want to be. After all, people aren’t going to keep clicking until they find your site on the forty-seventh page. People don’t even know they’re looking for your site. It’s your job to put it out there so it’s easy for them to find, and one way you can do this is by getting to the top of the search engines.

Before you submit your website to a search engine you want to first make sure your site is rich in content and that you are avoiding all Spam and html tricks. Then, once you’re listed, keep these points in mind:

1.The higher your number of inbound links, the better.

2.Pay loving attention to each page of your site.

3.Keeping keywords at the top of your page is the best place; matching search phrases is more effective than matching single words.

4.Elaborate graphics are not helpful.

Once you’ve been successful in getting to the top of the search engines, you must keep working to keep yourself there. It is crucial to monitor your status on a regular basis, and pick up the step if you position on search engine result pages starts to slip.

Do You Have A Blog?

Copyright: Earl Williams
The NetMarketer

They’re popping up everywhere. Your favorite website has one. Your favorite television show has one. Even your teenager has one. Blogs. What are they? Why are they everywhere you look?

Most simply put, blogs are like journals—only, instead of being made of the paper and cardboard kept secret by an even thinner piece of cardboard and a lock your baby brother frequently opened with a paperclip, these journals are online. Why does it seem like everyone has one? Well, because almost everyone does. And there’s good reason. Blogs can be used as journals, both private and public; they can be used as ways for fans to discuss the latest episode of their favorite sitcom; or, they can be used by major companies, especially those that are Internet-based, because unlike the traditional forms of advertising, blogs bring in more traffic.

For business purposes, there are many ways companies use blogs. For example, a company may have several blogs on its website, each one dedicated to something different: customer concerns, product updates, etc. In addition to being helpful to customers and other website visitors, these blogs bring in more traffic to the website, as well. Depending on the website, more traffic usually means more money. And more money means—that’s right—you’re on your way to that summer home in the Hampton!

So, how exactly do blogs bring in more traffic? Well, Adsense ads with Google are a good starting point. The search engine visits your page more each time your update, ultimately moving your blog higher and higher on the SERPs (Search Engine Results Page) and leading to more revenue from the ads being represented in your blog.

Some pointers? First, the blogger will need to decide what he or she is going to write about. Choose a popular topic, one that people are interested in. “Underwater Basket Weaving” probably wouldn’t be a very wise choice, as not many people seem to be interested in it. Unless, of course, you’re business is underwater basket weaving, in which case you should by all means write about it. Next, focus on some keywords—these are the words that search engines are going to pick up on. Don’t dowse your blog in these words, but use them whenever you effectively can. Lastly, make sure you write content that will attract, and keep, a strong readership. You want your readers to keep coming back, right?

Go ahead; join the millions of people and businesses alike. Get yourself a blog. Or corner your boss and suggest writing one for your company. Explain how blogs bring in more traffic, more traffic means more money, and more money means—that’s right again! —You’re on your way to the Hampton.
