Get your blog noticed

You have quality content on your blog and a good deal of information that you know the readers will benefit. However, somehow besides your family and friends reading your blog, you do not have much traffic. What is your next step?

Your next step would depend on how much money you are willing to spend on your blog to get it noticed. If money is not an issue at all, then you can go all out and advertise your blog on all the possible websites with a great page rank. You can also advertise on websites and forums that have a very good traffic. Namepros, DP, Google, Yahoo...and many more. But what if you do not want to spend any money till you start making money from your blogs or any other services that you offer online? That's where free blog directories will help your blog get noticed tremendously.

While surfing a couple of days back, I came across several blog directories. All you need to do is register with them for free by filling in a few details and your blog will be on the blog directory. The best part is that you can register on as many blog directories as you want and for nothing at all. Listed below are a few blog directories that I recommend and I will register with them as soon as I am done posting here! :-)

Attitude Wins!

It's not your talent or gift at birth,

It's not your bank balance that determines your worth,

It's not the color or the texture of your skin,

It's only your ATTITUDE that let's you win!

I came across this very interesting message written on a colleague's whiteboard and it got me thinking. It's so true! Only if everyone thought this way, our lives would be so much better.

While looking for some writing projects, all of us can relate to this message and be successful. When writing to your prospective clients, let your emails reflect confidence and the right attitude. No one, absolutely no one is very thrilled to receive an email from a person who can't assure the client of a job well done. Since the freelance writing world strives majorly on emails, it becomes imperative to give the right impression the very first time. Initially, you may make a couple of mistakes but you will only learn from them.

Implement different strategies if you do not receive any responses to your emails. Once you start receiving responses from the emails that you have sent, make a note of the strategies that you have used and jot down the ones that have been successful. Use the same or improve if you wish and see some major writing projects coming your way.

All the best! Cheers!

Grab the opportunity!

Have you ever been in a situation where there are plenty of decent paying jobs to choose from but you haven't managed to land a single one. Your bid and the turnaround time is the least but no luck; someone, somewhere has landed the job that you were sure was yours. Isn't it a very lousy feeling? Well, I don't know about you, but I definitely am down in the dumps.

But thanks to my positive thinking, I bounce back into action asap and start hunting for some more jobs as if my life depended on it :-)...Come to think of it my life does depend on it. It's the only source of my income and survival of the fittest is the name of the game.

It struck me today, 'There must literally be hundreds and thousands like me looking for jobs but is everyone as positive as me???' Then a thought crossed my mind, so what if I do not manage to get 'a' project, I can always help others around me get it. This is why I have decided that from now on, any interesting jobs advertised on the World Wide Web that catches my eye will find a place in my blog. In this way, those who read my blog can instantly look for some more job opportunities.

I read somewhere that the toughest part of freelance writing is not writing but getting the freelance writing opportunity. It's so true!

To PPC or not to PPC

Pay-Per-Click or PPC advertising is another technique of advertising your website. PPC works in a rather simple way. The most common way of making money through PPC ads are by letting them display on the search engines. Only when they are clicked will you be charged. That's what pay-per-click literally means.

With 2 main categories, Keyword and Content Match, you have the liberty to choose where you would like to advertise. If you choose the option of Keyword, then your ads will appear on the search engines. The ads appear under the 'Sponsored Links' category as shown below in yellow and on the right.

In the Keyword option, you as an advertiser needs to zero down on words or phrases that best describes your website. Then all you need to do is bid for those keywords and the links of your advertised website will appear in the order of the highest bidder to the lowest.

The Content Match option lets you advertise on the affiliate/publisher websites, newsletters, and via emails.

It may sound simple but in reality advertising through PPC is not that easy and an adept knowledge of the working of the PPC ads is essential in order to capitalize and make big bucks through it. Luckily, there are a lot of businesses out there who gladly offer advertising services.

What does Unique Content have to do with website success?

Frankly, a lot. Having a brilliant website design incorporated with Flash, the most creative animations and graphics, and all the jazzy-snazzy effects is not enough for a website to do well. If you feel it is more than enough, then sit back for 5 minutes and think. How many websites have you come across in the recent past with special effects and zilch content or copied content doing well? Even a gaming website, where content is not the most important criteria has some content. Do you see then what the power of words can do?

Unique content on your website has the following benefits,

1. Increase in traffic thus leading to increased page ranks
2. Your website gets indexed faster with unique content than with websites with duplicate content
3. Your website will not be penalized with unique content; duplicate content on your website can cause penalization or a permanent ban on your website in worst cases
4. Your website will have its own individual identity
5. Your website will exude an original flavor and will ensure all your visitors keep returning

The best way to come up with original and unique content is to write it on your own. But there are many out there who struggle to come up with a decent paragraph, let alone an article of 4-5 paragraphs. If you can relate to this dilemma, then the Unique Content service providers are the people to turn to. They will assure you of quality, unique articles that you can display on your website. You will also be in a position to choose from a variety of different packages to suit your budget and requirements.

Cheers!

Getting your Websites SEOed…

SEO or Search Engine Optimization is basically a very effective technique that can get your website(s) noticed on the search engines.

When you are looking for information on the various search engines online, you key in certain words or phrases that will ideally be closest to what you want. As soon as you hit enter, a whole list of websites are thrown at your disposal to browse through. You may have noticed that most of the time the websites or links that you go through are restricted to only the first page. Rarely do you even go on to the second page of the search results and even if you do, it is because you were not satisfied with the results on the first page. More often, than not, you will be satisfied with the results displayed on the first page.

If you are doing that, then common sense says so are the millions and zillions of net surfers out there. In such a competitive market, how do you as a webmaster get your website on the first page of the search engines. Needless to say, if your website is displayed on the very first page, then the traffic to your website will increase manifold. However, to reach the first page is not an easy task and will take a lot of dedication, time, and energy from you.

SEOing a website requires studying the market and your competitor’s website in detail over a period of time to come up with a successful formula to rise in the search engines. Let’s face it, not many have the time, the inclination, or the tactics to successfully SEO their websites. Fortunately for the benefit of such people, there are a host of SEO service providers out there willing to share their expertise.

What is SEM?

SEM is short for Search Engine Marketing. As the name suggests, SEM is nothing but marketing websites through various means on search engines. It is a great concept to get your services and products noticed online through your website(s).

As soon you have a website ready and uploaded, your next goal is to get it noticed online by making it available to the target audience. What better way to do that than advertising for it online. This is what Internet marketing or better known as SEM is all about. The most popular techniques used for SEM are Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Pay Per Click (PPC). These are two sure shot ways of advertising online that make use of keywords.

Keywords are basically ’search terms’ that are used by the Internet users frequently on the search engines to get the precise information that they require. For instance, dog lovers surfing online would use terms or phrases such as dog food, dog grooming, dog vets, dog parks, health tips for dogs, etc. depending on the kind of information that they need.

To ensure that your products or services get such exposure and good, quality traffic over a period, SEO and PPC are the way to go!

Choosing Affiliate Programs

Considering the loads of Affiliate Programs available online, how do you know which one is meant for you and which isn't? Below are a few things that you should keep in mind while selecting Affiliate Programs.

1. The program you select needs to complement the website that you own. It wouldn't make sense if you have a weight loss website and are promoting a website that deals in chocolates or scrumptious cuisine.

2. Review as many programs as possible and check to see for the commission payouts and their popularity.

3. Visit as many forums as possible and go through the various discussions on several affiliate programs. If you wish you can also actively participate and clear your doubts about the various programs.

4. Affiliate program directories are also a good source for selecting an ideal program. Most of the affiliate directories list the various programs as per different categories. Check out one of my fav affiliate directory website under My Fav Sites.

5. Select a program that will interest you as you will need to spend a lot of time on the affiliate programs and if you aren't passionate about the program you have opted for, then you will not stand to make a lot of money.

Cheers!

Do you have it in you to Affiliate Market?

If you think that you can sell a comb to a bald man, then you definitely have what it takes to build a successful affiliate marketing business. Affiliate marketing is nothing but promoting services/products of another website through yours. Sounds a little confusing? Let me explain.

In affiliate marketing, there are 3 parties involved. One is the Merchant (the one who needs his/her products/services advertised/sold), second is you or the Affiliate Marketer (AM) (the one who advertises/sells the services/products of the Merchant's website), and the third one is the visitor (the one who will help both the Merchant and the Affiliate Marketer make money). The Merchant's services/products are advertised on the AM's website linking back to the Merchant's website. As soon as the visitor clicks on one of those links and is directed to the Merchant's website, the AM stands a chance of making money depending on the Affiliate Program s/he has signed up for.

In today's day and age, more than 80% of the Affiliate Programs use Cost Per Sale (CPS) as a compensation method. This means that if the visitor who is directed to the Merchant's website through the AM's website buys a certain product/service, then the AM will be given a commission. This is where the AM's marketing skills come into play. If the AM is successful in diverting a prospective customer to the Merchant's website, then the battle is won as the visitor is definitely interested and will make a purchase.

Does it make sense to Google Adsense?

The answer to that question would depend on what do you intend to achieve through your website? Do you want to make it solely a money-making machine or simply share your knowledge with like-minded people? I am sure there are very few who wouldn't love to make quick bucks through Google Adsense. But it has to be said that making money through Google Adsense is not a piece of cake and your cash registers won't start ringing overnight. You will need to put in your share of effort, time, and dedication to start minting through adsense.

Although, the signing up procedure is relatively easy, the difficult part starts after that. The working of adsense is fairly simple. Once you start populating your website with content, Google will automatically start displaying ads related to your content. Google adsense even lets you customize the colours and the look of the ads. This means that you can display ads matching to the look and feel of your website. No prizes for guessing that Google has zillions of advertisers, so finding niche ads for your website will not be a problem at all.

All you need to do is update your website or blogs with unique content frequently. In case, you are not able to come up with orginal and unique content, then you can approach the various Unique Article Writing Services available online. Once you build a decent visitor base on your website and they start clicking on the ads that appear on your website will you start making money. The minimum payout that Google offers is $100. Until you make $100 through adsense, Google will not pay you.

Cheers!

Are Sitemaps Important?

Let’s look at a few things and analyze how a Sitemap can make life easier for the webmaster as well as the Internet surfers. At the end of the article, I am sure even you will be in a position to answer the question on your own.

The Internet surfers generally come to your site looking for some kind of information. As the name suggests, a Sitemap is sort of a map that will enable the visitors of your site to navigate themselves with ease. They can go directly to whatever interests them on your site. This will ensure that they visit your site frequently.

Isn’t that one of the main reasons for your site? Some good, quality, and ever-increasing traffic to your site!

One of the other main reasons of building a Sitemap is that it enables Google to index your pages faster than the time Google would take otherwise to index sites without a Sitemap. If you own one of those sites that need constant upgrades, then a Sitemap on your site is a great way to keep the search engines and the regular visitors of your site informed of all the recent developments.

After you build a Sitemap, you will need to upload it. After uploading, it is vital that you inform Google about the Sitemap.

Once you have a Sitemap on your website, you will soon notice the difference in your site traffic. Have you figured if Sitemaps are important or not? If you haven’t, then the answer is Yes, they are important.

The importance of Sitemaps has been underestimated to this day. My advice, do not underestimate the Sitemap.

Cheers!

SEO Secrets Given Away

In one of my earlier posts, Google Comes Crawling, I talked about how your website is noticed by the search engines. Before the search engines rank your website, you need to ensure that your website is optimized in the correct way. How do you do that? That is what Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is all about. Read further…

Optimize using Meta Keywords
It does not matter if your content is the best because if the search engines do not notice your website, then how will the target audience know about you. For this, you need to ensure that your content has relevant keywords with the help of a proper Keyword Tool. However, you need to remember not to overuse the keywords on a page, as it will only hamper the flow of your content.

Optimize using Page Titles
You need to ensure that the website titles need to be different on each page. Preferably, a short one-liner on what your page talks about. Since not all your website pages would talk about the same things, it would be a good idea to describe the content of your page. For instance, if you own a travel website and are talking about different cities on each page, then your page titles should not be more than 60 to 80 characters and include at least one keyword in the page title that appears on that page.

Optimize using Heading Tags
The H1, H2, H3, etc. heading tags can be optimized by mentioning the most important keywords as the headings. However, ensure that the page title and the heading tags differ.

Optimize using Unique Content
Last, but not the least, unique content on your website is equally important. Google hates plagiarism and so do most of the search engines.

Optimize using Meta Descriptions
Meta description comes under the title of your website on the search engines. For instance, the title of the page appears underlined as below and the description of what the entire website is all about comes under that, which is the Meta description. Note the use of keywords.

That Time of the Week

But hey, you don't need to fret; weekend's around the corner and before you realize it, you will be enjoying your Friday and Saturday nights and relishing a relaxing brunch on Sunday.

So here's to another splendid week ahead...

Google Comes Crawling

Ever wondered how Google decides which website should be first, second, third, fourth...tenth, etc. in their list of ranks? Do you also want to be featured in the list to increase the visibility of your website? I am sure you do. Visibility on Google means an increase in the sale of your services or products. In most countries, Google is the most preferred way for searching anything under the sun. Whether the Internet users are searching for baby names or some gift items, whether they are looking for content writing services or a particular product, Google.com is the most preferred destination.

Predominantly, Google uses three main steps termed as Crawling, Indexing, and Serving. Crawling is a process that involves Google discovering new pages and content that is updated, which can be indexed and added to the database at Google.com. Indexing involves collating all the words on a particular page and their location into a huge index that Google maintains. Serving is when an Internet user searches for a particular word or phrase, machines at Google search their indexes for those particular words or phrases that match and display the most relevant results. For instance, if you search for ‘content writing services’, all the pages / websites on the web with the exact same phrase will be shown to you. These words appearing in close proximity are also considered. For example, if you have a sentence like, ‘We are content providers and our unmatched writing and efficient services will ensure....’

Check out Google Guidelines for some very useful information. This site is a boon to all the webmasters out there who are starting out. This will ensure that Google comes crawling earlier than you expected.

Cheers!

Weekend is Here...

Hey there everyone...Have a great weekend and be good. See you guys on Monday.

Cheers!

Chrisblogging.com – A Blog worth Bookmarking

I came across chrisblogging.com on one of my ‘surf’ modes on the Internet and believe me I was totally floored by the blog. Any person on the verge of starting a blog should make it a point to refer to this blog. Let’s see, he started this blog almost a year ago and the blog has been nothing but encouraging in all aspects. It got me, a very lazy girl to start blogging regularly. In fact, I was so brainwashed that I decided to start another blog. (btw still thinking what to write on)

One thing I would like to say here is that no matter what you write on, write as if the whole world reads your blog from Day 1 and every single day after that. This will definitely get you and your blog far. This is certainly something that has helped me continue blogging.

As far as making money online goes, chrisblogging.com discusses about all the options under the sun, Pay Per Click, Article submissions, Google adsense, et al. If you want to make money sitting at home comfortably through blogging and freelance writing, then you should not miss this blog. The blog has some great tips and remarkable advice that will definitely help you like the way it helped me. He has analyzed the online market very well and I find myself agreeing to his opinions quite a few times. In the huge list of visitors to his blog, one more dedicated name has been added, namely I. Go on and have your fill of the blog.

An Interesting Site

While surfing online for some work a couple of days back, I came across an interesting site that I’d like to mention here. The site is called www.writingworld.org. I could actually relate to the concerns that were being voiced on the site about many freelance writers ready to work for as less as $5 for a 500-word article. She rightly went on to say that, it shows an amateur freelance writer, desperately looking to make quick bucks without even stopping to think what impression a buyer would get. You guys should check out the site. It even has some interesting polls that would definitely interest you all.

When a serious buyer is looking for someone to write quality articles, s/he will definitely research the market, check the various rates that a particular work is being done for, weigh all the pros and cons, and then finally decide from which person to get the work done. In his/her search, s/he must have definitely come across varying rates ranging from $3 for a 300-word article, $30 for a 200-word article to $50 for a 100-word article. A buyer who is relatively new to the freelance writing scenario would make the obvious choice of going in for the writer who charges the least for the maximum number of words.

However, buyers with real-time, ongoing projects and more experience on the World Wide Web would immediately be able to spot the difference between true professional writers from amateur ones. A professional writer knows his/her work’s worth and would never lower his/her rates to such an extent only to get a few hundred dollars. In fact, a professional writer would wait until a really good project that pays what its worth comes along. A professional writer would also never hike rates to such an extent that s/he does not end up getting any work. These are only a few things that would go on in the mind of the buyer. Based on this and maybe a couple of online/telephonic conversations with prospective writers, the buyer may make the decision of whom to award the project.

For those of you who feel that lower rates is a sure-shot of way of getting good projects, then think again. You may land a few hundred-dollar projects but you are definitely missing out on the biggies, which could keep you occupied for months on end with a good, steady, monthly income. Not to mention the fact that the time spent looking for a few hundred-dollar projects could be judiciously used to write quality content and deliver on time keeping your buyers contented.

Cheers!

Recovering from the Startling Discovery!

Even though I haven't managed to update my blog often, I did not miss out on looking out for some substantial freelance work that will get the ball rolling. I bid for quite a few projects and I was offered most of the work as well. But I turned them down as I did not feel that my work was being valued. Writing cheap and poor quality content is one thing and giving quality work to the person who deserves it is quite another.

I wish to excel and leave a mark in the field of writing, but at the rate writers are being valued is making me difficult to move on. Although, I have noticed a very steady trend of work being done for as less as 1/2 cent a word, I have promised myself not to lower my rates to such an extent. For me, being without work for sometime is fine but I am definitely not going to compromise on the quality of my articles and also my rates.

You may feel then, 'How does she plan to survive in the freelance world?' Well, I have survived very well till now and I know I will continue surviving. With the work trickling in slowly but surely, I know I will achieve my dream of being famous in the freelance world... :-) That my friends is called 'Being Positive!'

To most it may sound like a childish and lame dream but to me writing my heart out is my passion just like for many it's music, movies, books etc. You name any topic and I can probably go on writing for hours on end. You'd think, 'With such passion, she can probably complete a novel.' 'What is she doing here?' Honestly, I am here because I can talk about anything under the sun and at the same time share my experience of freelance writing with all of you.

You have the freedom of expression on my blog and no hard feelings whatsoever. Go on, feel free to thrash my work or appreciate my work. :-)

Cheers!

A Startling Discovery...

Before I divulge the details of my startling discovery, let me put forth my thoughts.

Writing is not an easy task and a lot of effort and dedication needs to be put in (I'm sure all the writers reading this must have agreed). Even an accomplished novelist / author may take a number of years to come up with a genuine masterpiece. Then you can imagine the plight of the numerous freelance writers that are only getting started. Whether you talk about research or browsing the net, writing 1000 odd words in a few hours or a good 40 odd or more pages e-book in a couple of days, coming up with catchy one-liners or rewriting articles...all this and much more requires several man hours and a lot of hard work. I hope all the writers are with me so far.

If all of you have agreed till now and know the amount of work you are undertaking even for a 250 or 300 odd word article should know the value of your work, shouldn't you? I trust I am quoting only what is running through your minds as well.

Then why should you agree to work for peanuts?? Mr. Alfred Nobel also realized the importance of literature and left his wealth to an establishment, so that in the future, men and women could be honored for their exceptional contribution in the field of literature along with physics, chemistry, medicine, and for work in peace in the form of the most distinguished Nobel prizes. Then why this discrimination now?

There is still time; we writers can still wake up and take notice. If a client isn't ready to pay our money's worth, then s/he definitely doesn't deserve the quality content that we are capable of churning out. I sincerely hope that you will join me in my appeal to all the content buyers out there.

Appeal to all the Content Buyers - on behalf of all the freelance writers!
If you are paying less, then please do not expect quality work from us. I am very sure that you must have heard of the phrase, 'As you sow so shall you reap.' If you expect quality content and timely delivery, then be ready to spend more.

(I am only voicing the thoughts of the various freelance writers out there. While looking for some freelance work, I came across a lot of forums where the discussions of unjustified payment scales to the freelance writers were highlighted. I also browsed a lot of sites where one can bid for projects and noticed the same pattern there.)

Cheers!

What's New? Stick around and find out!!

I know what you must be thinking,'One more blog added to the already existing millions of blogs all over the world.' Another one bites the dust. And now that blogs can be in different languages as well, you will find even more blogs getting added by the minute. In fact, this very moment when I'm writing my first post, I am pretty sure that hundreds of blogs have already made their presence felt on the Internet. 'So what's different with this one?' 'What's in it for me?'...may be some of the questions that must have definitely crossed your mind.

Well, I promise you that if you stick around longer and keep visiting my blog frequently, I won't let you down. There are a number of thoughts that are literally fighting each other in my head dying to come out...You can imagine then what I must be going through. ;-)

I have finally found a way to share my thoughts with all my fellow bloggers and non-bloggers as well. This is the reason why I decided to start a blog about my initial experiences and struggle in the world of freelancing (sounds very dramatic, doesn't it?).

I am basically a content writer and have been involved in a number of projects. I have written content for brochures, newsletters, case studies, quizzes, and the like. Basically, anything to do with writing and you can be sure that I have done it all. A few days back I decided to try my hand at freelancing and I was in for a shocker. I could not believe what I was reading. I mean the freelancers were actually agreeing to it!!!

To know more about what shocked me out of my wits, please drop by tomorrow.

Cheers!
