Guru Mastery Secrets

Hi Everyone,

I was searching around researching for my new blogging product and I came across this great post from Seth Godin with 56 ways to get traffic for your blog.

Here’s the Top 10 that really stood out for me:

1. Be topical… write posts that need to be read right now.
2. Announce news.
3. Write short, pithy posts.
4. Include comments so your blog becomes a virtual water cooler that feeds itself.
5. Write about stuff that appeals to the majority of current blog readers
6. Write posts that each include dozens of trackbacks to dozens of blog posts so that people will notice you
7. Digest the good ideas of other people, all day, every day.
8. Write about a never-ending parade of different topics so you don’t bore your readers.
9. Write stuff that people want to read and share.
10. Assume that every day is the beginning, because you always have new readers.

I know I have integrated a few from this list already.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think is the most important.

Cheers

You’ve heard about blog and ping to drive traffic to your blog, right? This is one of the main reasons that blogs have increased in popularity in the attempt to make money online.

Blogs are the easiest, most accessible content management systems available and because they are easy to update, search engines love them as well and reward regularly updated blogs with more frequent visits from the spider. Just run a search of any topic in any search engine and you’ll be greeted by blogs occupying the prime spots in the results pages.
Also, submit your blog to a blog directory and more people will link to your blog as well.

Blog entries can also be converted into RSS feeds automatically. This means the content syndication is made easier if you’re using your blog to launch your content.

But blogs are not just an internet marketer’s main weapon to make his business successful.

By monetizing your blogs, they can become an income stream on their own, and an affective one at that. Given the traffic and the page rank that blogs command, it will be easy to imagine the earning potentials of these wonderful creations once they are optimized well for monetization purposes.

Here are 5 great ways by which you can monetize your blog to make money:

1. Use your blog in place of your sales page. You can actually pre-sell, or even directly sell, your products through the entries in your blog. This can be in the form of an announcement, or even a positive review or a strong recommendation. Since people are expected to flock on your blog, might as well create a channel by which you can instantly convert those visitors into paying customers.

2. Don’t have your own products to sell? No problem. Sign up with any affiliate program over at www.clickbank.com , www.cj.com, www.linkshare.com or www.paydotcom.com and you will be given an appropriate affiliate link. You can promote this affiliate link through your blog entries and you can earn some generous commission for every sale you will manage to refer. Best of all, you can join as many affiliate programs as you’d like. You’re not limited to just one program. Each affiliate program you will join will provide an income stream for your web log.

3. Integrate a PPC program to your blog. Enroll with AdSense or any other ad hosting services. You will get paid every time a visitor of yours will click on the ads that the service will display on your blog. And since you’re sure to generate a large volume of traffic for your blog, you’ll be able to win a lot of clicks and a lot of dollars to boot.

4. Find sponsors. If you want a surefire income, build the reputation of your blog by regularly posting quality entries. Once you have achieved at least 50,000 unique visitors per month, and a page rank of at least 4 (quite easy by today’s standards), you can sell valuable real estate in your blog to some willing sponsors. An easy way of sourcing out some sponsors is by advertising in www.adbrite.com and displaying your blog’s relevant stats.

5. Once you have achieved the reputation mentioned above, you can also sell links to other webmasters. Since your number of unique visitors will be high and your page rank will be desirable, your blog will be an important commodity for webmasters who are looking for quality links.

PC Mag takes on the question of who owns content, especially where RSS Feeds are concerned:

Every day people put virtual truckloads of information into the public domain. Books are published. Newspapers printed. A lot of that ends up on the Internet as well, along with the words of bloggers and other online denizens. All of these people make content public so that others can hopefully benefit from it.

Once it is out in the public domain, who owns it? Well, the author of course, or in some cases, their employers. That makes sense when we’re talking about a web Wage. But sometimes, in order to make it easier for people to find and read the information, it is delivered as an RSS feed. RSS breaks down the information into article-sized chunks and streams it out so that news-reading tools can grab it and display it for users.

This article raises some interesting points however while it is frustrating to see your work republished without recognition and with RSS Feeds becoming more popular the problem only gets bigger.

This is a rather black hat technique though and the reality is still that unique, relevant and recent content is still more valuable in the long run.  Taking the time to add your own mark to each post is valuable in establishing your credibility.

The new Dilbert.com website has just been re-launched and one of the upgrades that is sure to be popluar is that you can now access the poupular comic via RSS Feeds.

You do have to wonder if Dilbert himself worked on this project.

Just about anything is possible.

Most owners want their Subaru to run smoother and perform better, all of the time and MRT Performance have been meeting this demand for over 14 years with over 22,000 cars going through their workshop.

Subaru Secrets Exposed is the new teleseminar series being run by MRT Performance to give you a behind the scenes look at exactly how you can get better performance from your Subaru. On this first call, Brett Middleton will be answering listeners calls and giving independent, expert advice on any aspect of your Subaru.

Back in 1999, MRT Performance were the first in the world to publish a book for performance tuning of the Subaru. (Teaming with client and enthusiast Nick Warne and employee Steve Bijok). Training WRX was a easy to read, humorously-written book on performance tuning for the WRX. Information was provided on simple tasks such as checking oil and water, and complete explanations of how a turbo works and why an up-rated exhaust makes the car better!

In 2001, the second edition was published. Radically updated, Training WRX 2 included the new Version VII, GD chassis vehicles and all the developments in tuning products since the previous GC chassis editions as well as the new North American version.

The third edition, titled “Subaru Performance Handbook” has just been released along with the Subaru Secrets Exposed teleseminar series designed to provide additional up-to-date information to compliment the Subaru Performance Handbook.

The first Subaru Secrets Exposed teleseminar is being run on Wednesday 5th March 2008 at 12PM Australian EST, and this is 9pm USA EST on Tuesday 4th March 2008.

Brett Middleton from MRT Performance will be answering all the questions submitted by readers prior to the call as well as giving his impressions on the new Subaru MY08 range and lots of other great technical information.

If you have heard about the top internet marketing guru’s then it is most likely that you have heard of Harris Fellman or one of his alter ego’s, most recently, Santa Sal who made an absolute killing with his SantaSal.com promotion.

Anyway, Harris Fellman has proven time and time again that his internet marketing strategies do work and by following a few simple steps and working with a proven strategy that pretty much anyone can start to make money online.

The majority of my internet success was learnt from Harris when I purchased his Moving Sale Madness offer which gave me over ten hours of step by step tutorial audio, mainly from Harris and included a lot of great content from listbuilding guru, Tellman Knudson.  Along with some great audio on listbuilding, Harris covered the other keys to success in viral marketing, copywriting and affiliate marketing.

After being impressed by the quality of Harris Fellman’s products I decided that I would invest the $199 in his Codename Catalyst home study course.  Now, not to say that Harris was holding back with his Moving Sale Madness products but Codename Catalyst covered just about everything else that I needed to know about online marketing success.

To be honest, while being exceptionally happy with my purchase, I was at the same time, a bit disappointed because I realised that I had spent hundreds of dollars on wasted products that promised to deliver but never really lived up to the hype in the sales letter.

The most productive component of Harris Fellman’s Codename Catalyst course for me was his step by step joint venture process that he covers which literally gives you everything you need to get quality jv partners happy and ready to promote for you.

That was all my business needed to get to the next level.

If you are interested in taking your own internet marketing business to the next level then check out this special offer I have for you on Harris Fellman’s Codename Catalyst Home Study Course.

Changes to the Digg.com algorithm appears to be changing the future of Digg and has outraged a small group of Digg users who apparently feel they should be controlling the Digg community.

The few elitists that think they can control Digg are in for a big suprise when they realise that it is a money making venture and the the people who control the purse-strings get to make all the decisions.

Check out Kevin Rose’s blog post about the recent changes to the Digg.com algorithm that will change the future of Digg and the small community that controls it.
