How to blog effectively? Honestly, I’m not really in the mood to answer this question today. You see, I’m in dilemma. Something ‘interesting’ is about to happen and my mind can’t just snap out of it. Happy? Not really. Sad…definitely. Anyway, being your host in this blogging journey, I have a responsibility. To keep you reminded of the tenacity that is needed in building an effective blog, I made a point to myself to at least post an article once a week. These ‘lessons’ may not mean much to most of you but, I have to remind you about the marathon part and by being here with you at least once a week means that I’m still in the match.

Alrite, to be able to blog effectively, you need to do the following…

What do you want for yourself or for your family? Are you ambitious and yet you feel that good lives are only meant for a priviledge few? Now, blogging is for you if

1. You are short on capital

How many times have people been telling you that one way to get out from the rat race is via owning your own business? But do you have the capital? To start a blog, you just need a pc, an annual fee of $ 10 for domain leasing and around $ 100 for hosting. I don’t think you need financing for this right.

Happy New Year to all bloggers out there. Today is 2nd January 2011. Have you taken action yet? Have you started to make money blogging?

Ok, ok. It’s not my style to pester you into blogging if you really don’t want to because the choice is yours. However, if you are interested in making one of those simple money making blogs like a Google Adsense Blog, here are some suggestion for you in 2011:

1. Blogs about women’s beauty care

Like brick and mortar, it’s the easiest to make money from women. The fairer sex can skim on food and health but when it comes to beauty care, they are possesed. If you happen to be an expert in skin care, teeth whitening, breast enlargement…these are lucrative market. As women get more affluent and web-savvy, it’s about time to start an information site about important body parts of ladies that can be spent ‘renovating’.

I was never interested in striking out on my own. And the last thing that ever crossed my mind is having money making blogs that could actually bring passive income for me.

I got my Basic Degree in 1996 and like any of my peers back then, I yearned to climb the corporate ladder. COO at 38 and CEO by the time I reach 45. A few years back, all these changed. I no longer wanted to work for an ‘employer’. Mind you, due to the hard programming, I’m already on my way of achieving the corporate goals I set for myself since 1996. The opportunities, the mentors, new openings….they are all waiting for the right time to open and with some right ‘pushes’, nothing is impossible.

The anxiety that hit me in the middle of 2010 was bad. Sales was down, and the top management was practically aiming for my jugular. My health deteriorated to a point that I started questioning myself about my goal of becoming the ‘king’ among employees. As long as you are in employment, you can never be the king of your destiny. Vultures in the guise of colleagues are waiting for you to make that faithful error that signifies ‘incompetencies’.

From my interaction with fellow bloggers and my own blogging experience, many new and even seasoned bloggers have these misconception when talking about how to make money blogging. Blogging is big business and like all business, you need effort and intelligence when building it. People blog for various reasons; Google adsense blogs, business blogging, affiliate marketing and among others. Dream would just remain dream to many bloggers. A small percentage (around 1 %) will make it and the rest would just fall off like …. moths. Anyway, here are some myths that you should know:

Whether your money making blogs are about finance, insurance, parenting or fetish products, there are certain things you can do for making each post ‘sticky’. Let me share with you a few strategies you can use to make your posts a lot more gripping – regardless of their length or even topic.

Rule of thumb for every post

Keywords and SEO awareness – When settling right down to write your post, don’t launch into the content immediately. Instead, dedicate the initial paragraph to keywords and keyphrases that are widely searched by worldwide readers. Blend your post with stimulating anecdote, a questionable statement, or a knock-out launching sentence, the “bait” that tell your readers that they will learn some new things. This approach has worked well for most bloggers. We are not here to win any writing prizes, we are here to make money blogging. Remember the most simple and obvious choice is usually the best one.
