How to Find Content for Your Blog or Website!

The net is filled with people who know more about any
given topic than you do. While you can’t plagiarize what
they have written, you sure can learn a lot from what they
are saying. If you don’t understand something there will
also be someone willing to help you.

You need to realize though that you cannot be an expert on
everything. There are thousands of people that know more
than you do about a zillion things. So When it’s time to
write some new content on something your are not very
familiar with, start reading blogs, forums and articles on
your topic.

For example, when I’m looking for ideas on content for a
new site, some of the first places I go to are article or
review sites to get a feel for what are the hot topics for
my niche market. I take notes so I can refresh myself on
the topics.

When I am done learning about the topic I sit down and
start writing and take reference notes on any sources that
I can use later. Then in my own words I create original
articles or blog posts based on this information and upload
it to my website.

Another method is to outsource your content by getting it
ceated for you. One of the best places to get exactly what
you want written is in forums. Just ask other members to
give you bids on content about your topic.

You can also go to places like scriptlance.com,
rentacoder.com or elance.com and get 100′s of writers,
programmers and editors bidding on your project.

Just be aware that with any outsourcing you only get what
you pay for. Many low bids could just be stolen work, so
make sure you use www.copyscape.com on anything you buy
before you pay to check to see if it is original or not.

If you’re prepared to do the research, getting original
content for your niche market is not hard so there’s simply
no excuse not to create a number of sites to begin
generating multiple streams of income to secure your future.

5-Step Plan – Setting Up Your Website!

In the last lesson we finalized Step #3 of the plan
so today we move on to Step #4.

Your next step is to set up a website and for this step-by-
step plan we’ll use a WordPress Blog. You can get your free
WorPress Blog at http://wordpress.com

We won’t go into the nitty-gritty details about selecting
a domain name, getting it registered, and setting up
hosting.

We also will not cover installing and configuring
WordPress here. There are many reports, ebooks, and large
manuals which already cover these steps. So we’ll work on
the assumption that you already know how to do these things.

{Note: if you’re new to setting up a blog, we talk more
about this at the end of this chapter}

Why WordPress?

There are many excellent reasons to use WordPress for a
system like this. In fact, there are many excellent reasons
to use WordPress for almost any type of website.

WordPress is extremely easy to install, it has hundreds of
add-ons available which are known as plug-ins that can
automate standard tasks, or simply make most of your tasks
easier.

WordPress is also very search engine friendly when it’s
configured properly. And there are thousands of design
themes available around the web for WordPress.

In addition to all of that, WordPress will automatically
let multiple sites know each time you create new content on
your site.

Essentially it has a built-in self promotion feature. And
this self promotion feature is extremely powerful for
generating traffic, and getting listed in the search engines.

WordPress is also flexible enough to be used for a variety
of types of sites. Many people think that creating a
WordPress site means they will be creating a standard
journal type blog. This is simply not the case.

Depending on the design theme you choose to use, or choose
to make if you have that capability, your site can be
almost anything you want it to be.

It can look like a high-end magazine, it can be used as a
content management system, it can be used as an article
directory, and it can even be made into an online shopping
site. And those are just a few of the ways you can use
WordPress.

As an affiliate marketer, your job is to create as much
targeted traffic to the products you’re promoting as
possible.

And by using WordPress with its built-in self promotion
capabilities, and its built-in search engine optimization,
you can start generating targeted traffic to the affiliate
products you’re promoting much faster.

Creating a website or blog using WordPress has to be one
of the best ways to actually get “something” online.

WordPress is packed with features, easy to install (if you
have the right type of hosting account) and once you’ve
mastered a few basic skills even someone who’s just
starting out can really put together something that they
can be proud of.

But it’s MASTERING those few basic skills that generally
hold people back from ever really doing anything with their
blog. And that’s where things tend to hit a brick wall.

Well as you probably know by now, we love to find
SOLUTIONS to these types of problems and we’re ALWAYS on
the lookout for resources that will help you achieve
success.

We’ve just finished uploading a new set of highly
informative step-by-step videos all relating to mastering
WordPress and you can watch the videos here…

Traffic Basics – Improving Your Search Engine Rankings!

In the last lesson we talked about using key words in your
title tag. Today we’re going to go over some simple rules
that you can follow to help you improve your search engine
ranking and the traffic to your site.

These rules will benefit you regardless of whether you’re
just starting with a new site or if your existing website
is not ranked well for your chosen keywords.

First of all it is important to concentrate on the home
page of your site and then once you learn the following
rules, you will be able to apply them to the other pages of
your site so that you can have multiple high ranking pages.

Let’s go over some of the basic principles to achieving
good rankings in the search engines.

- Create a site with valuable content, products or services.

- Place primary and secondary keywords within the first 25
words in your page content and spread them evenly
throughout the page.

- Research and use the right keywords and phrases to
attract targeted visitors.

- Use your keywords in the right fields and references
within your pages. Like your title tags, meta tags, top
heading and even in the alt tags of images.

- Keep your site design simple so that your customers can
navigate easily between web pages, find what they want and
buy products and services.

- Submit all your web pages and not just your home page to
popular search engines and directories.

- Keep track of changes in search engine algorithms and
accordingly modify your web pages so your search engine
ranking remains high. Use online tools and programs to keep
track of how your website is doing.

- Monitor your competitors and the top ranked websites to
see what they are doing right in the way of design,
navigation, content, keywords, etc.

- Use reports and logs from your web hosting to see where
your traffic is coming from. Analyze your visitor
location and their incoming sources to determine the
keywords they used to find you.

- Give your visitors plenty of ways to remember you, like
newsletters, free reports, rewards, gifts, coupons, etc.

- Exploit your expertise by writing and submitting
articles for your website or products.

Keep these simple rules in mind every time you work on
your existing site or start a new site. If you spend a few
days of preparation up front it will pay off in the long
run with better search engine rankings and traffic.

Well that’s all for today, but make sure you look for your
next issue were we will be talking about some tips you can
use to drive repeat visitors to your website.
