As so often with large conferences, on the third day the BlogWorld Expo was slower. This was partly because I wanted to thoroughly go through the exhibition ground, but mainly because I was quite tired. I visited more niche type not interesting for all meetings;in particular "manage blog groups" and the "Science of social media marketing."The morning keynote was well attended despite the late at night, many of the participants celebrate and for good reason.
"7 Hard realities of blogging for bucks" was a pretty open format round table with Darren Rowse of ProBlogger, Brian Clark of Copyblogger and Sonia Simone Copyblogger / remarkable communication. While it outlines the harsh realities, more on the solutions to these problems focuses you. It is difficult to distill your message down and I'm sure others have tried the same thing out there, but I'm going to give it a try:
1. Free is not a business model you can earn money if you give it all have to give away a lot of good content, people way but you to win your premium content or your products. The balance, can be hard, but the Panel found that the more away you confidence that your premium content/products actually be worth the more people are.
2. Choose Internet cash machine is on the Fritz - with few exceptions, you quickly get money as a blogger. Like most worthy ventures, it takes time and effort to build something that will bring in an income. Many bloggers treat it as a sideline.Don't expect to make a six figure income overnight, and'll probably be fine.
3. Can speak to everyone - it's easy to get caught up in trying to grow your blog so quickly lose sight of the real connections.Their advice was real about how many meaningful connections you can make in a day. The keyword is "meaningful".Strecken too much too fast and you will be lost in the shuffle.
4. No one wants that much authenticity - Don 't are, but don' t get too personal. You don't have all of your life to teilen.Haben you some borders; You do not want to crawl or someone of the hole.
5. Social media hates sell – but have content to verkaufen.Ihr "Marketing" is to love .Menschen share content, so let your awesome write sell itself. Consider your readers offer something valuable, you not only one deal pitching.
6.A blog is no business many bloggers out there have no intention of making money.You can a blog with no business plan and be perfectly happy with it.But if you want to make money, you need a business plan.Treat your blog as a business where you go and be ready to grow with the company plan.
7. No one is reading your blog - it may be several reasons that no one reads your stuff.
You don't have something talk a.Maybe which you care about.If your niche too dark, it's only may not be much audience for your Gegenstand.Oder maybe talk about just one aspect of the subject and need to expand your horizons.
b.You still not been giving, it at the Zeit.Es takes time a readership to bauen.Die most bloggers start with your friends and family who took your blog on lesen.Darren Rowse there where it had a good readership almost two years to his photography blog to get the place and began money of verdienen.Teil of this is, that you spend at any time to speak in a different way, can spread like a strong social media presence.
C.You have a good theme, but not frisch.Es are new blogs come every day, and the hot topics get behandelt.Wenn first present a new way, a popular topic can find have half the gewonnen.Aber, if you copy you what everyone else do battle, she could be sentenced to the obscurity.
I've learned, a ton of this very knowledgable Panel.Ich hope get a somewhat from my summary.
Thanks for reading,
Sherry
