Top Blog Design Tips

Most blog platforms come with some basic blog designs. They may call them templates or themes or something similar, and usually they are not bad although some customisation is pretty common. I often see some common mistakes, and hopefully you will be able to avoid them.

1. Include an about page
Make it prominent and make it truly about you, not some resume-like page.If people find your blog and like what you have to say, they are going to want to know something about you.
2. Have contact information visible
An email or maybe even a phone number should be included. Your email can be displayed as a graphic to prevent spammers from harvesting it easily. I would suggest using an address that has your domain at the end to be more professional. 

Visible contact information will make you seem more real and although people may occasionally contact you, it will be far less often than you might think.
3. Include a picture of yourself
Blogs are personal, even business blogs, and people who visit yours will want to know what you look like. It’s also easier to built trust if your picture is visible. Though, you don’t absolutely need a picture, but it’s strongly recommended. Sometimes people might think you are hiding something if you don’t have one.
4. Show a top posts or articles page
Some of your blog posts are going to be much more popular than others (you may be surprised which ones they are). I call these your pillar articlesDon’t bury your pillar articles, your most popular blog posts. Highlight them somehow. You might for example have a top posts section in the titlebar or sidebar.

I have a most top articles section and I list my most popular posts based on the ones that are read the most. Other people do it slightly differently. For example, Brian Clark at copyblogger.com has a “Popular Articles” in his sidebar and under that he lists his most popular blog posts. Yaro Starak, on his blog Entrepreneurs-Journey, calls his most popular blog posts “Popular Articles” and lists them at the very top.Somehow or another highlight them. You might do something as simple as create a category called “most popular” and include popular blog posts in that category.
5. Don’t have a blog banner that is too big!
The banner is the top portion of your blog that goes across the top. It might have a picture of you there, the name of the blog, perhaps some graphic — they vary quite a bit.You don’t want your banner to be big. No one should need to scroll down to see your content. People decide really quickly when they first reach a Web Site, and that includes blogs, whether to read or to leave.
6. Create a visually appealing blog
Avoid bright colors. Stick to reasonable fonts like Times New Roman and Arial. Have someone with a good eye look at your blog, preferably a graphic designer. Everytime I start a blog and I’ve started dozens for myself, for friends, and for clients, I always get a graphic designer to at least look at it after I am done.

The problem is that it might look OK to you or me, probably neither having a particularly good eye nor appropriate training, but it still might look really ugly to others. Having a graphic designer take a quick look at it is good insurance.
7. Keep it simple silly!
Some blogs are just so busy: they have one, two, sometimes three sidebars just crammed full of all kinds of stuff. With some of it you wonder why is it there. What purpose does this serve? Now in my opinion calendars are a prime offender. What good is a calendar there? Some people like them, but to me they serve no purpose.

Empty space in a blog is not only allowable, but it’s a good thing. It helps focus eyes on what is important, which is your content and hopefully the few things you choose to put in your sidebar.

Most blogs start with a basic template which is then customised over time. These tips will hopefully help you that with customisation and help you avoid common mistakes with blog design.

Use Free Promotions For Your Internet Business

In my opinion, the most challenging task about running a successful Internet business is how to effectively market your website with low cost strategies or using free promotions. Here are some guidelines on how to acquire free Internet business promotions for your website to drive more traffic and increase your revenue:

  1. If you have started to promote your Internet business, keep it constant. If you promote your site with persistence, it will catch your audience's attention.
2. Be patient. Try each method in promotion until you acquire the best, free promotion there is. You have to accept trial and error for your Internet business to reach the top.

Free And Effective Promotions To Try
There are many ways for your Internet business to be seen. Here are some free Internet business promotions you could try until you find the most effective.

* Free promotions such as search engines and directories would give your web site the deserved traffic you always wanted. Make a point to check your Internet business ranking to know whether or not this type of free promotion is right for you.
* Make a deal with other Internet business blogs on trading links which could help both web sites.
  * Think about what you've read so far. Does it reinforce what you already know about Internet business Promotion? Or was there something completely new? What about the remaining paragraphs? Make sure to use words that could easily interest the audience.
* Find free classified ads that could boost the promotion of your Internet business. These ads could be seen by other people who you are not targeting for, but may as well be interested in your services.
  * Free and low - cost Internet banners are spread all through out the World Wide Web. Banners that pop up at the top of a page or in a separate window would automatically catch your target audience's attention.

  If your Internet business and its free promotion did not work even after accomplishing these methods, analyze your website. Track down all visitors, advertisements, and transactions. Then locate errors in your Internet business blog. Upload new files to your Internet business blog continuously for audience to return for new products and services. Monitor your own Internet business to see if it's up in the market or down.

Then be ready to try the methods again and surely it will work.

Be Careful with The Fastest And Easiest Way To Make Real Money

You've probably seen all the types the Internet has to offer. There are tons of courses and programs that claim to teach you how to make piles of money within a few days, but most of them only burn a deeper hole in your pocket. 

People expect to get rich quickly by taking surveys, stuffing envelopes, encoding data, and engaging in other schemes. But many of their income claims are overhyped - they require more time for lesser pay. Joining MLM programs? Sure, if you've got hundreds of friends who hang on to your every word.

 If you really want to achieve true financial freedom and make yourself rich (not others), the fastest, cheapest, and easiest way is... to have your very own internet business.

There are so many to choose from, affiliate marketing, freelance writing, drop shipping and many more. You could also go for alternative ways of earning money through the internet like buying products from your local market and selling them on e-bay on a higher price. 

Well I can tell you that you have to be very careful and choose wisely.

You also cannot make money overnight and please don't fall for the click your mouse and make money deals.

  I can help if you are in touch with me.

  I have a good knowledge to analyze any company on the net.

It is a tricky business......making money online. But it is possible with a good mentor.

Please don't buy leads that is a joke as well.

Basic Work You need to Do to make a Good Blog

Every one starts blog with lots of hopes, but they don't know what they really should do to make worthy blo

Every blog needs a lot of work before you're going to make anything useful from it (be it from Adsense, selling advertisement, etc.).

1) Need a new layout. You need something that looks at least remotely professional, more bright colors, and a less generic looking Blogger template. Google "blogger templates" and look around at some of those...find one that provides organization, ad space, RSS feed space, and just looks more like a normal site rather than a generic blog.

2) SEO (search engine optimization). Read up on it, research it, apply it. If you want to make money, you need targeted traffic to your site and people that are looking specifically for what's on your site or something similar to your site.

3) Read up on Adsense ad placement (there are books, blogs, and websites devoted to this). Read up on Adsense in general to understand how you're supposed to use it.

4) Build popularity throughout the blogosphere. Promote your blog in legitimate places, comment on other related blogs (sincere comments, not "hey look at my blog!"). Use social networking sites. Look at related blogs and find out what they're doing correct, then take the extra step above them.

5) Post consistently and on interesting subjects. You need the content, or nobody will care.

6)if you want this to be professional looking and want to design a business around it, look for a better blogger template, or better yet, get a wordpress.org hosted blog

Browse other sites in that topic you chose and leave interesting comments. Do the same with forums. Whatever you do, do not spam your website. Group up with others in your niche and cross-post on each other's website.

Blog is the best way to make money on the internet to make money on the internet is to find more viewers in your blog and you must put a ads on google ads if they click that ads you can make money and you can earn more if you have many more viewers that click on your ads.

  But statistic will show you that most of money is made from product sale. Products can be physical or digital like e-books and memberships. With affiliate programs you can also make more than enough money, no doubt.  

Adwords: Asuccess secret

Webmasters try out PPC advertising for their PPC earning campaigns. The way it goes is that they will advertise their websites through Google AdWords. Google will then display their links the way it displays AdSense ads. The webmasters who decide to take this route would then have to pay Google every time a user clicks on the ads that lead to their websites. 

How do these webmasters earn, when they're supposed to spend for every click?

Well, most of them build websites that are exclusively made up of AdSense ads. Hence, whenever a user is led to their pages, he'd have no choice but to click on the relevant ads that appear therein.

There are some webmasters, on the other hand, who rely on the strength of their content. They use AdWords to expose their websites to people, hoping that those very users would love what they'll see and they’ll keep coming back every now and then.

There are pros and cons to this strategy, however. Let's take a look at the advantages first.

You will attain guaranteed traffic.

You will attain highly targeted traffic. Since your visitors will be composed of people who are interested with the subject of you website, there is a higher likelihood that they will click on the ads that would appear on your pages.

Google is cracking down on websites that are merely composed of AdSense ad blocks. If you opt to use this approach, and your website is composed exclusively of AdSense ads, chances are, your website would get de-indexed and your AdSense account would get suspended if Google catches you.

The best way to go is to rely on the strength of your website. Prepare unique, premium content and hook your visitors with the same. Content is king in the World Wide Web, after all.

If you decide to use AdWords to get some traffic, make sure you have a mailing list in place to capture their contact details and ensure for yourself some repeat visitors. PPD advertising should only be used to gain initial traffic, until your other marketing strategies would finally produce the desired results.

Disadvantage is if you are failed to convert them into your readers you lose money.

        So, Be careful

Adsense : Good Idea

Want to earn using Adsense

For lot of webmasters, Google AdSense has become a great income generator. Since the program pays the webmaster every time a visitor of their website clicks on the ads that Google displays in their web pages, the same has become a truly viable and profitable option to earn a living online. As a matter of fact, there are countless webmasters who have dropped their day jobs so that they could focus on the AdSense program.

They build dozens and dozens of websites, all of which carry their AdSense code, hoping to generate amazing earnings from such an approach.

The CPC can be approximated by checking out the going rate of the keyword to be targeted before building a website. The resource that can be found at is an excellent tool to help anyone in formative the probable CPC for certain search words or phrases.

The Click rates  can be improved by arranging the AdSense blocks in a manner that would make them look like organic parts of the website.

  Most difficult is the impressing people to achieve.

Page impressions are actually the same to what is generally known as web traffic. Web traffic refers to the volume of users who manages to load up a particular page of your website. It is said that traffic is the blood of any online venture, and this couldn't be truer for websites that earn via Pay Per Click (PPC) programs.

The success of your Google AdSense campaign would depend on the volume of traffic you'll be able to generate for your website, or websites.

You could try a lot of marketing tactics, but often, these strategies take time to gestate. Additionally, each and every competitor of yours would be trying out the same techniques, and there is no real guarantee about how much traffic you could derive from them.

  This has led many webmasters to try out PPC advertising for their PPC earning campaigns. The way it goes is that they will advertise their websites through Google AdWords. Google will then display their links the way it displays AdSense ads. The webmasters who decide to take this route would then have to pay Google every time a user clicks on the ads that lead to their websites. 
  

I see AdSense as PPC program that can give you traffic and pennies too. I think using it will be a good idea, if and if your website or blog is already stable and has its own credible traffic. However, if you are just starting out, I think you shouldn't use it as once since there is no guarantee yet that you could run it smoothly and make it stable.
