5 Fail-Proof Strategies to Boost Your Blogging Income in 2012

This is a guest post by Michael Chibuzor

It’s cool to be alive to experience another fantastic year of business exploits and all round success with your blog.

I don’t know what your expectations are, but I’m convinced you want to make more money, connect with savvy persons and initiate a wealthy system.

Ride with me as I share the 5 fail-proof strategies to boost your blogging income in 2012. I’m grateful to Joey for this privilege and I admonish you to read every single word in this page.

Often times, the extra income you need is looking for a viable idea, and that idea is right under your nose. Situations may try to blur your goals, but don’t give in to these threats.

You can achieve anything you set your mind on no matter how difficult it seems. Now, enough of the motivation, let’s leave that to Brian Tracy and Talk about enhancing blogging income.

1. Launch a Valuable Product

You got that right, launch a valuable product.

It might not be an e-book or short report; it could be a mobile app, a contest or plugin to enhance bloggers life. I could recall what happened in 2009 when I launched my first contest; I got 1,039 targeted visitors and made massive sales with product recommendations.

Anything that can wow your readers’ life is ideal this year.

They’ve known you for months, or even years, before you realize what’s happening, they would switch over to another blog where new trends are unveiling. Nonetheless, when releasing any product to the market, ensure it’s helpful (forgive my cliché) but it’s vital to your success. If you can’t help your readers, don’t bother launching anything.

2. Be At The Forefront Of Hot Trends

A lot of bloggers are way behind schedule and that’s why they’re broke.

Successful bloggers keep abreast of hot trends. Hot trends are the secret recipe to cashing in before everyone does. There are really no secrets to life and making money, but getting to the Station before the train, makes you special and there is reward for punctuality.

This year, being at the top of your niche news-wise is paramount. Several new developments are happening right now. Google+, algorithm updates, metric testing, Facebook timeline, twitter streamlining, linkedIn sleek connections and all manner of social media developments are taking place.

If you consistently churn out articles on these hot trends, and build few quality backlinks, it could increase organic traffic to your blog because you would rank highly on Google homepage. What about writing short reports about Google+ and selling to your readers, will they buy? Of course they’ll if and only if you’ve good marketing character.

3. Marketing Marathon Strategy

When I was in High School, I participated in the yearly Marathon race.

It takes decision, perseverance and sense of direction to win a marathon race. Speed is vital but doesn’t apply in all spheres of marathon. Fact is: every contestant is running to win a prize. Isn’t that what blogging is all about?

This year, decide to win a prize for your hard work. Running a blog is not an easy task – if it’s easy for you, well I find it slightly hectic. Keeping up with the daily posts, social media sharing and networking takes time and sacrifice, just like in Marathon.

But guess what? The efforts you put into blogging would eventually pay-off if you don’t give up. Those that wait and explore the more, will definitely receive a golden crown from Mother Nature. Well, not from me, but from a source that’s invisible, but rewards every man (blogger) according to his works.

4. Are You A Suicidal Blogger? Stop it

I came across an e-book today, it’s so explicit of who a suicidal blogger is. Are you eager to know? First, suicidal bloggers are trading on dangerous grounds. If they don’t change course and seek for help, their years of hard work may soon diminish and get drowned in the red sea.

A suicidal blogger is that person who owns, receives targeted traffic, have strong marketing chutzpah, an active social media user but “DOES NOT BUILD EMAIL LIST.”

You got that right. You’re committing blogging suicide if your mailing list is 0. You can’t trust Google to deliver free traffic to your blog consistently, at least not anymore. Their weird panda doesn’t want to show mercy at all. A lot of sites with quality contents and natural off page links were infected by panda updates. Every blog is a potential panda casualty.

But when you build a responsive email list, you could drive avalanche of free buyer traffic at the push of a button. If the money isn’t in the list, where else is it?

5. Become A Corporate Broker

Some people call it consultant, but in the context of what we’re talking about, being a corporate broker could earn you some decent brokerage (commission). What’s your role?

It’s pretty straight-forward and if you own a functional blog, half of what you need to do is already done. The power of web marketing is obvious in offline world. Corporate firms and small business entrepreneurs are looking for experts to bring them online and expose their brands to the right eye balls.

That’s where you come in. Get the project and ensure you understand the pros and cons – bill the clients (corporate firms and entrepreneurs) and simply outsource the project to capable hands.

For instance, if you land a writing project and you’re not a freelance writer or lack the inclination – hire a freelance writer. When the job is done, send full payments and keep the balance. In essence, you’ll be making money as a broker and that money is termed “brokerage.”

How to Write Guest Posts that is Always Published

This is a guest post by Onibalusi Bamidele from YoungPrePro.com

Guest blogging is fast becoming one of the most popular and most effective ways to market an online business today.

If you visit one or more of your favorite blogs there is every probability you will find at least a guest post published in a week.

Guest blogging isn’t as easy as most people think, though. You need to write content that the blog owner and his readers can relate to, and you also need to ensure there is something in it for you.

I have been guest blogging for almost two years now, and within this period I have written almost 2,000 guest posts for myself and my clients, some of which have been published on some of the biggest blogs online.

In this article, I will be giving you a few tips to help you write guest posts that are always published.

1. Study the Blog You Want to Write for

The first step you should take before even coming up with the title of a guest post for any blog is to study the blog you want to write for first.

When I was still struggling to get my guest posts accepted by A-list bloggers I attempted submitting several guest posts to a particular A-list blog with no success.

Over 5 guest post submissions from me were rejected, and it was then that I noticed one blogger getting published repeatedly on the same blog. What I did then was simple, and as a result almost every single guest post I have submitted to that blog has been accepted (that’s over 6 guest posts).

What did I do? I took a look at the 3 most recent guest posts submitted to that A-list blog by the guest blogger I was talking about, and I noticed they are all list posts starting with “Top 10″.

Shortly after that, I wrote my next “top 10 list” guest post and it was published a few weeks after, leading to hundreds of visitors to my blog, while at the same time going viral on that blog. That moment changed my guest blogging career, and I now get published on A-list blogs anytime I wish.

In other words, the key to successful guest blogging is so simple. Take a look at the top 10 most recent guest posts on any blog you’re targeting. Try to detect a common theme those guest posts share, and use that to develop your next guest post.

2. Write from Your Heart

One of the best ways to get the best result from every article you write, including your guest posts, is by writing from your heart.

In most cases the readers of the blog you’re writing for won’t even bother to read your post past your introduction, and that is your opportunity to get them interested. Right from your introduction to every sentence you write, work on making sure your article is able to connect with your readers’ emotions.

Sometimes, this means you have to write from experience. Sometimes, it means you have to go a little personal and let them know you’re human too, and sometimes it means you should just listen to your heart and let your writing flow.

The blogger you’re writing for can easily spot an article written solely for the sake of getting traffic, but if the blogger feels your emotion in the article he/she will have a hard time rejecting it.

3. Have a Great Headline

This lesson is a very important lesson that took me so long to realize, and ever since realizing it my guest blogging career has never been the same.

In case you don’t know what I mean yet, a simple headline can mean the difference between your guest post being accepted or rejected, the quality of your content notwithstanding.

Make sure you spend enough time writing and perfecting your headline, and don’t just think any of those 1 minute headlines will do.

Spend a considerable amount of time writing and improving your headline, and apart from your guest post being accepted quickly, you will also increase the chances of it going viral and as a result lead to more results for you.

4. Submit a Unique Guest Post

To be sincere, it will be a little difficult to find entirely unique ideas for your guest posts, but that’s not what it is all about – some ideas you’re very familiar with are unique on another blog, and that can be your ticket to getting published repeatedly.

Take a look at the blog you’re planning to get published on, read the 20 most recent articles on the blog and try to see what they are talking about.

Now write your own guest post for at blog with the blog theme in mind, but at the same time make sure your points deviate from the other points you have been seeing on that blog.

You will be surprised at how much that can help you get published on any blog of your choice.

It Doesn’t End There

I know my tips might sound too simple, or too short, or ineffective…but believe me; you can’t be sure until you try.

My guest posts have been published on Business Insider, ReadWriteWeb, Problogger and DailyBlogTips, and the above tips are the tips that work for me…no sugarcoating or hiding anything.

Try them to see how they work, and hit me up if you have any questions!
