How to Start a Blog and Make Money Online

Blogging is a big deal when it comes to building a business online, so naturally, many of the questions I hear from women entrepreneurs is, “How do I start a blog and make money online?

First, I want to make this clear because there has been a huge misconception surrounding this topic. Blogging does NOT make you money. Consistent blogging helps increase your traffic, which generates a flow of a specific targeted audience (if your focused on a particular niche market and promoting your content…which you should be), who in turn, purchase product and services you have available for sale on your blog.

Why You Must Work at Building Your Facebook Following

If you are serious about building your business online and creating buzz for your business using Facebook, you have to accept the fact that you are going to have to work at building your following. Understand that just because you create a Fan Page or Page for your business, does not mean people will automatically follow you.

When consulting with new business owners, I find the most common mistake being made is creating a Fan Page without a purpose. Realize that your Fan Page is another marketing tool for your business which first requires planning a strategy to implement.

Before you jump right in and start a Fan Page because “it’s what everybody else is doing”…Determine Your Purpose.

Your Online Network Marketing Strategy SUCKS!

Let me first start off by saying, my intentions are never to offend anyone even though I realize what I’m about to share may indirectly strike a nerve with some of you, because I’m calling it as I see it. Try not to get defensive, I’m simply expressing my opinion (which I’m entitled too) and I will not apologize for it. Hopefully, you will take what I share, and reevaluate your online network marketing strategy…quickly!

The reason I can be this blunt is because I know what I’m talking about. I have been a network marketer for nearly 10 years and in the first 2-3 of those years, my online network marketing SUCKED! YES, I can admit it…because since then, I have learned a lot and my success has turned around completely.

How to Nurture Your Social Media Marketing

Social Media Marketing is like caring for a newborn, when you are patient and nurturing in the early stages of development, you will create a well rounded, strong and respectable business. Just like it takes time raising a child into a mature adult, your social media marketing efforts require of you the same commitment of time.

If your goal is to establish yourself and your business online, you should first have a clear understanding of what Social Media is and what it is not.

Social Media is NOT:

  • For everybody or every business. Just because it seems as though everyone is doing it, doesn’t mean you should necessarily jump on the bandwagon. If your not willing to LEARN the ropes and APPLY the skills…you won’t last very long.
