Blogs which are also known as web logs are the new thing on the internet. They are pretty much a platform that you can use that will allow you to post your thoughts on most any subject that you want to. They can be used for journaling, promoting, writing, and publishing, anything that your heart desires. However, if you are a beginner and new blogging as well as marketing, there are some very important things that you will want to know.
Blog marketing is pretty easy if you have a marketing mind. You are going to find that many people use blogs as a diary, and many times these blogs that are used for this purpose are not intended to make them money, but simply a way to put there thoughts out there and find others that are going through the same thing. If you have never even had a blog before, the simplest thing that you can do is to start one, and just journal in it for a while. This will allow you to learn just what it takes and what it is all about to keep up a blog. When you are just journaling your thoughts and what is on your mind, you have nothing to lose and nothing to gain. You don’t even have to make your blog public if you don’t want others to read what you have to say. That is a personal preference. However, doing this will let you see how it works. Then you can move on to trying to market a product or a service.
Using a blog to market something is cheaper than using a website. This is because there are so many free ones out there that you can use to get the word out, and they are really just as good as having a website that you pay for. There are of course some advantages to having your own URL, but for a beginner, a free one will work until you get the hang of it and want to move it all over onto your own server. The free blogs are just not that customizable. If you are not familiar with HTML, you are going to find that your blog will look like everyone else’s. But, that is ok in the beginning. You can always make changes later on once you are becoming successful.
When you have your own blog, you are in charge of the content that is posted on it. You can decide what is said, and what is not. You are after all writing it all, right? So, the sky is the limit. Whether you want a blog that does website reviews and takes nominations, or you want to sell things that you make out of your home, the choice is yours. Using a blog to get the word out about whatever you want too is a great way to market and promote something.
Blog marketing can get complicated if you let it. It is really only as hard as you make it. While there are some bloggers out there that are making a six figure income with the use of blog marketing, we all know that it can be done. We just want to know how. Well, for any beginner, start small, and be consistent. The six figure bloggers all did. They started with one, built it up, and then added another blog, built it up. Then, keeping up both blogs and not letting them fall behind, they continued to add more and more. Of course they had help, and they outsourced a lot of their work. If you are looking to make a massive income with blogging, you will need some help.
Blog marketing is a great thing to learn. If you can sell things from a blog, you can sell them anywhere. Making money by using a blog is one of the most satisfying things that you will ever learn how to do. Just do not expect to make money over night, know that you have to work at it consistently everyday, and remember to put into it what you want to get out of it.
Dear Fact Monster,
It is very frowned upon on steemit to "borrow" someone else's material even if you modify it or change it a little. If you Copy and Paste it, that is Plagiarism.
Before you post 3 more posts like this, please consider what you want for a future on Steemit. Or this account could be ruined and there is no good in that.
Original, new and unique material and content is encouraged here on the Steemit platform.
I hope, with a little work and effort, you have something beneficial to share.
Thx
Dear public eye, these are PLR articles and I believe anyone is free to share them anywhere for any purpose and the photos are from pixabay and i believe they too are copyright free and can be used for all purposes. I never meant to offend anyone, or bring harm to this platform. But I think that sharing PLR articles isn't plagiarism. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Hey, I found this in the Steemit FAQ section - "Using random pictures from the internet without giving credit is discouraged. You may, however, use photos from “free image” websites such as Pexels.com or Pixabay.com. All photos on Pexels and Pixabay are free for personal and commercial use."
So, i guess it's okay to use pixabay pictures.
Hey @public-eye, after some research, i think copy paste is not a great help for the platform. It seems that only quotes, facts and related content is allowed to be copy-pasted without asking for trouble. So, on a personal front, i won't copy paste any long article, be it a plr article. Even if i'm to, I will make sure that i have made necessary changes and has made the article much better.
But also on a personal front, just my opinion, isn't it unfair for cheetah to mark plr articles. Yes, cheetah's function is to identify similar articles, but i'm against it's functionality of marking plr articles as copied articles. Maybe that should change... Just my opinion though..
But anyways, thanks for your notification.
Maybe i'll a write a post with this whole story!!
Also it's really hard for beginners not knowing about these things... I just wanted to post and that's it. Maybe there also be something crisp to help out the newbies from getting into trouble
