Tips On Blogging - Help to make better profit out of it in any way.


A few people have asked me if I can share a few tips on
'Blogging'... I'm excited to finally get this post written! I frequently get emails asking for advice on starting a blog, and I always wish I had the time to respond with a really helpful answer, more than just a paragraph
Sure, no problem at all! There's 4 top
tips below.




But first let me explain a little about
PROFITING from your blog.

If you don't already know this, your
blog is one of the most IMPORTANT
websites you'll ever own!

It becomes kinda like a central hub for
your online business, and it's a place
where your subscribers can get to know
you personally and of course...
 

There's a lot more to it than simply slapping a site online, it's all the
'behind the scenes' stuff that makes
the magic happen and allows you to
PROFIT from it!Now here's those tips that should help
you out:


Tip# 1. Be Yourself and be honest -
Don't be like a sheep and follow the
herd, your readers will want to know
who you really are and will like you
more for it. Make sure you put your own
spin on things to make yourself unique.

Tip# 2. Target Your Audience - Don't
waste all your traffic and time on
people who are not interested,
determine your target audience and make
sure all your content is related to
that.



Tip# 3. Don't be afraid to speak you
mind - Controversy sells! Be prepared
to engage others with differing
opinions, sure, some readers may
disagree and some may agree, but the
controversy will drive more traffic
alone.

Tip# 4. Make it easy for readers to
subscribe - This may be obvious, but
you'd be surprised how hard some people
make it to join a mailing list, make
this one of your main focuses on your
blog!

Most of the people spend on your blog is one of the best indicators of the usefulness of your content.
The longer people stay on your site, reading your content and exploring blog archives, the higher your chances of converting them into subscribers and customers.
Average time on site is, of course, a key SEO metric as well, and one of the user experience factors Google uses to understand the quality and relevance of a piece of content.
In a detailed SEO study, which analyses more than 1 million Google search results, Brian Dean (Backlogging) found that the average time users spend on a site has a strong relationship with search engine ranking.
If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, you can check the average session time of your blog in your Google Analytics dashboard, think on it carefully

And the topic you choose is also very important, talking abt myself, I personally LOVE coming up with ideas and giving advice. I always have. It may sound weird to some, but that is "me." When I get a phone call from a friend in need of ideas or advice, I get a rush. Really. That's how much I like it. People ask me all the time if I ever worry that I'll run out of things to write about, or ideas to share on the blog, and I can easily say "no." I feel confident that I can spew out ideas for the rest of forever, assuming I'm never bound by duck tape and gagged with a smelly sock. That may be a big assumption. Clearly, a blog about ideas would suit me well. And it has.


Hope you understand this tips and can apply into your blog too, Good Luck!

Bloggers Vs Wordpress - Pros & Cons

Hello everybody, many of my friends used ask me "which one is better to use - blogger or wordpress..??"
The answer was clear, that if you want a blog that does not require paid web hosting then you should go for blogger (sacrificing some facilities), And if you want a blog or site that should be as professional as it can be, you should go for wordpress.

Though this blog itself is powerd by blogger (as i love blogger though) i would recommend wordpress to you,

heres why..




 
 












I always experienced many wonderful benefits achieved by having my website, and this has made an incredible difference for me in my life. There is a great value in building your own online presence and growing your audience. Having a complete control, ownership and freedom over your site are the main reasons why I pick WordPress as my preferred content platform.
The open-source community behind WordPress provides many of the unique benefits to the platform. There are thousands of free design themes for you to use to make a great looking website, and there are even more plugins that allow you to extend your site by adding great features. All this without needing to know how to code or without having any web design experience.
Blogger is a simple and easy to use platform, but it just doesn’t cut it in regards to flexibility and customization. That is where WordPress excels. Over 60 million people and brands have chosen it to power their sites and use it to create a broad range of beautiful and impressive blogs and websites.
Many of the biggest organizations run their blogs and sites on WordPress. Some examples are Facebook, Google Ventures, eBay, CNN, NASA, and Mozilla. I run all my projects on WordPress too. WordPress actually powers 26.4% of all websites online while Blogger powers 1.2% (as of May 2016).
Hope You Understand the exact advantage of wordpresss over blogger.

How to Create Own Email Id With Domain Name (Eg: admin@domainname.com)

With the help of google app, we can create out own email id, this stuff will work with most of the common domain registrar.

Follow The Given Steps: 
  1. Firstly, go to google apps Sign up Page, click on start free trial (You would be paying later, but it’s good to enjoy first one month without paying anything)
  2. Now just click next, and on the next page, you have the option to buy the domain from Google or use any of your existing domain. If you have a domain, use the option which says “Use a domain name I have already purchased” and if you need to buy a domain name, use the second option.
  3. Now on the next page, you will need to create your first Google Apps user name. My suggestion would be, create only those email address which you are more likely to going to use. As Google Apps charges /user/month, using fewer Email address will ensure that your business monthly expense will be low.
  4. Just click signup and it will automatically redirect you to admin dashboard of your newly created Google Apps account.
  5. The thing which we require at first here, is to verify domain ownership which could be done in multiple ways. The easiest way is by adding the meta tag if you already created your website, or you can add Txt record to verify domain ownership. In my case, I have added meta tag into my WordPress site to verify domain ownership. (as proof that i own the domain)
  6. After verifying your domain ownership, next step is to set up email for your domain. Click on next step after verify, and you will be back to admin console where you can click on setup email to start setting up Google Apps Email service. The great thing about Google Apps setup tool is, it’s very smart and makes it easy for any non-technical user to setup and get running in no-time. For example, in my case, Google apps detected that my domain is hosted on Bluehost, and it gave me instructions to quickly setup Google Apps email service via Bluehost. After this you have to delete all existing MX record.
  7. At this point, delete all existing MX record in your Bluehost hosting account or other web-hosting services that you are using, and simply add the MX record provided by Email setup console of Google apps.

That’s it! in less than 24 hours Google will check the MX records after which your mail will be activated, hope this helps.
