How To Sell Clothes Online

The Internet has made it much easier and affordable for ordinary people to sell clothes online. While a traditional retail store costs thousands of dollars a month to maintain, a website costs next to nothing to maintain. In fact, you don't even need your own product to sell online. You can work as an affiliate marketer selling clothes made by other companies or people. Every time you make a sale you are paid a commission. Whether you sell your own clothes or clothes made by others there are a few important things you need to do to successfully sell clothes online.

Get A Website for Selling Clothes Online

A website is your own virtual piece of real estate. You have complete control of the content and you can promote whatever products you want. A website has three basic components: a domain, a hosting service and a site building platform. You purchase the domain from a domain registration services, usually for around $15.00 a year. You can purchase hosting for less than $5.00 a month from a hosting service, and you use a platform like WordPress, Site Rubix, Drupal or Joomla to build your website. A website does require a small financial investment, but it is a necessity to sell stuff online.

Add useful and engaging content to your clothes website

In the early days of the Internet, you could do quite well by filling your site with banner ads and promotional copy and wait for people to click through and buy. Those days are gone. People get on the Internet primarily to find information and they will not stay on a site if they're not getting what they want. Your content should be relevant to the product you are selling but should be perceived as useful to the reader even if no sale is made. For example, if you are selling sweaters online, you could have content on your site about sweater materials, how to select a sweater this winter, best sweaters for kids, and sweaters to wear to a first date. 
 

Join Affiliate Programs Specializing in Clothes.

If you decide to sell clothes made by other people you will be an affiliate marketer. The easiest way to get started finding affiliate products to sell is to type in your product + affiliate into Google and sift through the results.

Most of the big brands have out sourced the work of finding affiliates to third party websites that run Affiliate products. These websites handle the management and payment.

Popular Affiliate Programs include Commission Junction and Google Affiliate program. You will need to register with them to promote their products. Registration is free of charge. Once you join you can choose clothes to sell from a thousands of manufacturers. Once you have chosen a product you are given a link that you place on your website. Every time a visitor on your website clicks the link he is directed to the manufacturers website. If he/she makes a purchase, you are paid a commission that is anywhere from 5% to 75% of the price of the product.

A common misconception with affiliate marketing is that you first choose a product and then you plan your marketing campaign. You really should plan your marketing campaign first, then choose your product. The reason is that a full blown Internet marketing campaign involves a lot of dedication and writing on your part. You want to choose a topic that you feel passionate enough about to consistently work on for a long period of time. It also helps to know about your topic, but it's easy to quickly learn more about a topic that holds your interest. Once you know your topic, then you can easily choose relevant products from the many possibilities.

Drive traffic to your clothes website
There are a number of strategies for driving traffic to your website and they loosely divide into two categories: free traffic generation and paid traffic generation. In one sense, neither one is free because if you are not paying for advertising, you will be spending time writing articles. If you are going to sell clothes online for the first time, I recommend starting with article writing, as you can lose a lot of money on pay per click advertising if you are not doing it just right.
Article writing is writing articles for your website and waiting for Google search engine to add them to their index.  The goal is to try and make sure your articles appear on google results every time someone searches for the type of clothes you are selling. If you are selling sweaters.Write articles about red sweater, female sweaters, kid sweater etc, so that your articles are found every time someone types those words on Google.

Article writing starts with keyword research. Target each article to a long tail (meaning more than three words) keyword potential buyers are likely to search under. Your goal is to have your articles show up on the top page for those keywords.

Your traffic will come from people finding your articles in Google, Bing and Yahoo. Write and publish articles regularly--once a day if you can, but at least two or three times a week. You can have several articles targeting the same keyword, but you should aim to have articles targeting as many keywords as possible to drive a steady stream of traffic to your site.

It is neither difficult nor complicated to sell clothes online. But it does take a bit of an investment of time and resources to get started on the right foot. You will need your own website that's filled with useful and engaging content. Then you will need to write articles targeting relevant keywords that bring visitors to your site. Finally you will need well chosen clothes that your visitors will be receptive to buying.

How To Make $30Million A Year Selling Wine Online Via An E-mail List

Jon Rimmerman, a.k.a the Garagiste, is an internet marketer extra- ordinary. He rakes in $30Million A Year Selling Wine online Via An E-mail List. The email list has just 136,000 subcribers. 

From Bloomberg Magazine

In 1996, he took a $500 advance on his VISA card to start a wine business that generates $25 to $30 million a year from his 23,000-square-foot (2,136 square meter) temperature- and humidity-controlled Seattle warehouse. He doesn’t advertise, has no partners and says he’s never had a business loan. 
I first came across his story in a New York Times article and I have looked around to learn how Jon Rimmerman built a successful business of selling wine online via email.

I share my discoveries.

Tips for Selling Wine Online 

Trust
His 136,000 email subscribers are faithful fans around the world who include old friends, and plenty of people in the wine industry.

Best business is referral
He has never advertised and he never had a website. He set up  http://www.garagistewine.com/ in 2009. The only way to subscribe to his email list was someone recommending you.

Even today, the Garagiste Web site — through which you can now sign up for the e-mail list — has no e-commerce function nor even a blog post of Rimmerman’s daily offers. You get the memo or you don’t, and Rimmerman rarely offers the same wine twice.

Avoid anything that might turn off a reader
Such as not including photographs in his daily emails. This might sound bizarre but this is how explains it “Psychologically, it’s very important,” he says. “If I told you that story but you didn’t like the look of the label” — Animale’s cat, say — you might doubt the pitch.

I think his thinking is "my taste my not be their taste."

Keep Reinventing
He takes notice of emerging competition from such sites like gilt taste. His response, "I have to stay ahead; I have to offer things no one else has,” says Rimmerman.

Offer a Mix of Cheap and Expensive
To break even he he sells plenty of wine for under $10 a bottle and pricey ones, like his recent offer of 2009 Romanée Conti at $25,821 per 12-bottle case.

Be passionate
Rimmerman says he has spent about half of the last 15 years on the road, hunting wine and story in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, Turkey, Israel, three Canadian provinces, northern Mexico and 13 American states.

Be Fearless Stay Fearless
His father was a serial entrepreneur and he laernt from him. “He made millions and he lost millions and he was never afraid to go for it,” Rimmerman said. “That’s definitely my personality and the impetus for Garagiste — no fear, believing in yourself.”

The last one was my favorite. It is the fear of failure and ridicule that stops us from trying.

To your success!

Easy Guide On How To Redirect Your Domain To Bluehost Servers

You will need to do domain redirection if you have purchased Bluehost hosting and your domain name was purchased from another domain registrar, e.g, Go Daddy, namecheap, network solutions, ipage, tucows, dreamhost, enom, fastdomain, register.com, moniker etc.

Bluehost have a number of options available for hosting, transferring, redirecting or even transferring the registration of your existing domain name to point to bluehost servers.

If you have registered your domain name through another domain registration company and it is not currently on bluehost Domain Name Servers (DNS), you can contact your domain name registrar and request they change the Name Servers to point to bluehost hosting service.

Bluehost Domain Nameservers
Request your domain registrar to replace DNS settings with the following DNS;

ns1.bluehost.com
ns2.bluehost.com

In many cases, you can even do this on your own through your domain name registrar's Control Panel. Log in to your domain control panel and look for DNS setting. You will see names of you regisrar. Delete those and replace them with;-

ns1.bluehost.com
ns2.bluehost.com

Example of Redirecting Domain From Go Daddy To Bluehost 

To modify, add, or delete name servers (DNS) for your domain(s):

Step 1:
Log in to the GoDaddy.com Account Manager.

Step 2:
Select Manage Domains from the Domain Names dropdown menu or the Manage Your Account list.

Step 3:
Select the domain name you wish to modify using the checkboxes and then click Set Name Servers .

Step 4:
Enter your updated name server information in the spaces provided under the blue Name Servers heading on the right side of your page and click Save Changes at the bottom. Your entries should looke like this:
NS1.BLUEHOST.COM
NS2.BLUEHOST.COM


This will allow you to maintain your domain name registration with your existing registrar, but still host your domain name on bluehost servers. Standard Propagation time is 24 to 48 hours. This means after 24 hours the domain name should be correctly pointing to your Bluehost account.

This can be completed along with the transfer of your website files so that the transition from your old hosting provider to bluehost.com appears seamless, without any downtime in between.

To avoid the above hassle I always recommend you transfer your domain name registration from your current registrar to bluehost.com. Bluehost will then manage your domain name and yearly renewal, as well as host your website. You can transfer your domain name registration at any time, as long as your domain name has not expired.

40 Profitable Niches To Make Money Online

The reality of making money online is some niches are more profitable than others. You might have a passion for exotic sand but the truth is you will never make money while blogging about it.

The best tool to find out profitable niches to make money online is Google Keyword tool. The tool allows you to see and know how much advertisers are paying.

The most expensive keywords on AdWords can also be assumed as the most profitable niches online. Here they are: Next to it is average CPC


Caveat - The more expensive the Keywords the more competitive the niche. And if a niche is very competitive it will be hard to get your blog/website to rank on page one.

Tips For Niche Marketing
1.  Choose Keywords with atleast 50-100 unique searches every day that have relatively low competition that could be easy to rank for.
2. Avoid the most expensive keywords, they are expensive and dominated by big brands.
3. After you have identified the keywords buy a domain. Don't put all your target keywords in the domain because Google is punishing blogs that have been doing that. Useone word plus other generic terms.
4. Writes articles on your chosen keywords.
5. Inside those articles make sure to include the keywords in the title, subtitle and body. Don't over do it because Google is against keyword stuffing. Make sure your articles make sense.
6.  Keep writing relevant content and after about 1-2 months you may begin to see some movement to the top 2-5 pages of Google depending upon the quantity of your post, back links and competition.

20 Free Tips On How To Increase Website Traffic

When it comes to online business they say you live and die by traffic. The following free tips will teach you how to increase traffic to your website or blog. 

1. Announce Your Blog on Facebook and Twitter
Start with people nearest to you. Reach out to your friends on Facebook / twitter and ask them to share your website with friends.

2. Read and Comment on related blogs. 
Look for blogs where your target visitors hang out. Leave thoughtful comments on them. The readers will click on your link and in the process increase traffic to your website.

3. Join Forums In Your Niche
Join forums related to your niche. To find a forum in your niche go to Google and search, "forum:your niche." Forums allow you to have a link pointing to your website. The best way to increase traffic to your website from a forum is by presenting yourself as an expert. If other members see you as a good pro they will be inclined to visit your website.

4. Offer Value
Nothing increases website traffic more than value. Consider writing posts with resources or explaining how things work.

5. Inform Search Engines when you post fresh content
Inform search engines and aggregators using the ping functionality when your blog is updated, this should ensure maximum traffic coming from those sources. See pingomatic.

6. Write More Content
Increase your website traffic by writing more often. Keep a writing schedule of at least one article per day. 

7.  Join You Tube
Youtube.com is the number two search engine after Google. Do video versions of your articles and make sure you add a link to your website at the end. Use the video to tease the viewer by promising him/her he will get more information when he visits your website/blog. 

8. Start an Email list
Nothing creates long-term website/blog traffic more than email. If you can have 100 people sign up to receive email updates when you make a blog post, it means 100 people will read your article. Imagine what it means to your website if your can have 1000 or 10,000 people on your email list?

9. Be controversial
I don't like being controversial but I have seen evidence that websites and blogs that write about controversial issues get massive traffic. Think of drudge report and huffington post.

10. Keep things simple
Attention span of most web users is low. Internet users don't like reading 5,000 words article. Look for long and complex articles and write shortened versions. 

11. Boost Pageviews
A simple trick that will boost your pageviews is installing related post plugins. This plugins pull articles related to an article and list them at the bottom of a post. 

12. Blog Carnivals
Submit articles to blog carnivals (http://blogcarnival.com) that are related to your niche. Your article almost always gets posted, and it must generate a handful of visitors, at least.

13. Be first to post breaking news
You will be listed on page one of Google news every time you are the first to post breaking news. Stay in the loop in your niche and try to be the first to cover any new/fresh content. 

14. Link exchange with related blogs.  
Link exchanging with other blogs can offer you a big help to increase your search engine ranking plus getting referral traffic. Just make sure you don't over do it because google has a habit of punishing those who over do it. 

15. Don't forget offline
A great tip on how to increase website traffic is leveraging your off-line marketing effort. Include your url in all your off-line liturature from business cards, letterheads, pamphlets and adverts. 

16. Never Neglect your Blog/website
Search engines love website that remain active. Don't stay still, keep your website updated with new and fresh content and you will continously see an increase in website traffic.

17. Encourage others to Tweet your articles.  
Twitter is a site that lets people share articles, on whether people like them or not. Your readers will most likely tweet your work for you if you politely ask, or even better, add a Twitter button at the bottom of all your posts. Make sure your best articles get tweeted and started in the right direction, and if the post is good enough, it can generate thousands of visitors a day.

18. Share your articles on facebook
Start a facebook page for your website / blog. Add facebook buttons at the bottom of all your posts and ask readers to share. 

19. Write list posts. 
We all love list posts. This post is a list post. Examples are “Top 10 web hosting companies”, “7 tips I use to get repeat visitors”, and “6 e-commerce wordpress templates”. List posts are usually linked to a lot more and get a lot more traffic than normal posts.

20. Write a pillar post.  
A pillar post is a long, authoritative, instructional post. Pillar posts are time consuming but they are worth the time and effort. Pillar posts will get linked to and receive decent amounts of traffic.

Here is to abundant website traffic!

Quick Guide To Bluehost Shared Hosting

Bluehost is a shared hosting company. This simply means multiple web sites share the same server, thus reducing the cost for everyone.

As of 2012, BlueHost has over 2M domain names hosted on their servers. Sharing a server with other those millions customers may seem like a lot That  but it usually works out extremely well because most sites don't generate enough traffic or use enough resources for it to become a problem.

All those domains are not hosted on one server but spread out over a number of servers. Something like 100 domains in one server. 

Bluehost offers substantially more disk space, data transfer, and email accounts than most people or businesses need. If every site used their quota, shared hosting would not work. But since few do, it actually works out quite nicely.

How To Speed Up Your Bluehost Hosted Blog Site

If your small wordpress blog or site is hosted on bluehost it is probably hosted on a shared server. A shared server means your blog is sharing resources with millions of other blog sites.

Sharing a server with other small blogs is not a problem on bluehost because they are a top notch web hosting company. Bluehost have heavily invested on their servers and people to ensure all hosted websites are running like clock work.

While Bluehost do a good job to provide fast speeds on their side, it is up to you to do  what is necessary to make sure your wordpress blog site is racing like a Ferrari.

1. Resize Those Images
Images should be minimized to the right size without destroying the quality. I use photoshop to reduce the size of the images. The latest version of wordpress allows you to reduce the size of images immediately after uploading them.

2. Use a Lean Wordpress Theme
A good example of a fast loading wordpress theme is Twenty Ten/Twenty Eleven (aka the default WP themes). The reason is, it is simple and lean. Doesn't have fancy designs with tons of images, lines and colors that hog the speed.

A fancy theme may look good but they sacrifice load times.

3. Optimize your homepage
Keep things to a minimum on your homepage
Show excerpts instead of full posts 
Reduce the number of posts on the page (5-7 is an okay number) 

4. Remove Inactive plugins
If you no longer use a plugin, remove it from your installation.  Keeping it is  a poor use of disk space. 

5. Remove duplicate plugins
It is pointless to use multiple SEO plugins. They all do a similar job. MY recommended SEO plugin is all in one SEO plugin. 

6. Use a few plugins as possible 
The truth is the more plugins you have the slower the blog. 

7. Beware of Auto Link Plugins
Auto links plugins are highly valued because of their SEO value but they are a speed hog. Auto links take time to calculate. They have to go through the whole database each time a link is created. All that sending is eating into your speed. 

8. Keep your wordpress blog updated
Previously you needed to login to your bluehost cpanel to update your blog but these days you do it inside wordpress. There is no reason for leaving your blog out dated other than sheer lazyness. 

Remember this days Google rates sites based on speed / load times. Another reason to make sure your bluehost hosted blog is up to speed!

Most Attractive E-commerce Website Designs

The best way to build an attractive e-commerce website for your online business is by taking inspiration from some of the best e-commerce website designs.

Qualities of a good e-commerce website
An attractive e-commerce website must meet the following qualities
  1. Love
  2. Trust
  3. Purpose

Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears. Edgar Allan Poe

A first time visitor to your e-commerce website must see you sell what he/she wants, he/she must love being there and he must feel he can trust buying from you. All this must happen in an instant or else the visitor will close your homepage and go elsewhere.

The following are some of the best e-commerce website designs that meet my criteria of attractiveness (Love, Trust and Purpose)

1. Amazon.com
Amazon.com is the king of e-commerce. Amazon has annual revenues of $50 billion and all that is sold via their website.
To do those kind of sales they must be doing something right. Trust comes easy for this website because Amazon.com is a well known brand and everyone knows them. You can build trust for your e-commerce website by promoting your online store through media mentions and advertising.

The design allows visitors to search products in terms of categories, price, age, color, delivery etc.

2. Reeds.com

You know what reeds.com sell the minute you open their homepage. Make sure your e-commerce website homepage has large size images of your products. The homepage is the first page a new visitor clicks on and first impressions matter.

On the homepage include sweeteners such as special offers, discounts and free shipping to encourage visitors to buy.

3. Apple Store
Make it easy and quick.


Apple is known for well designed products. The Iphone, Ipod and Ipad are not just well designed but they are easy to use. And that spirit is showcased on Apple online store.

The menu at the top is designed to help a visitor go straight to the product he is interested in.

Make it easy for buyers to find what they are looking for.

4. Petflow.com
If you are selling hundreds of products you should go with a design similar to petflow.com.

They sell hundreds of pet brands and they have a list of all the available brands at the bottom of the homepage. If you want a particular brand you just click on the name and you go straight to the product.

It is a nice way of solving the problem of how to promote hundreds of products.

Successful Bluehost Web Hosting Affiliates Making $20,000 Per Month

Bluehost affiliate program is one of the most popular web hosting affiliate program. They pay affiliates $65 for every successful lead.

One of the most successful blogger promoting Bluehost is Pat Flynn from smartpassiveincome.com. Pat Flynn makes on average $20,000 per month from bluehost affiliate program. 

This is how he does it. 

Devout Followers Vs Google Visitors
If your blog has regular readers who passionately follow your blog post you have a better chance of making money from bluehost affiliate program. Affiliate products work best on blogs with devout readers while Google adsense seems to work best on blogs that get a ton of traffic from search engines like Google. 

Pat Flynn blog has a community of readers interested in making a passive income online. Pat teaches them how to make money online using a blog or website. 

If you devout your attention on developing a loyal blog community and not chasing Google traffic, you stand a better chance of making money from bluehost or any other affiliate program.

Trust : Trust : Trust
Your readers need to trust you if you hope to be successful from promoting bluehost web hosting. Pat has an about page on his blog, he uses his real name, he has a picture of himself on the blog and he is very transparent on how much money he makes online.

For readers to trust you, make sure you have an about page, don't use your nick name as your byline and have your picture on your about page. You can go a step further and link to your Facebook page, Twitter and Google + page.

Don't rely on banners
The mistake most affiliates of web hosting make is pasting banners on their website/blog.  It is okay to put a banner on your side bar but make sure you do what Pat Flynn has done. Pat has written many post on how bluehost works. Inside those post there is an affiliate link to bluehost.

Honest Recommendations
It helps if you promote products that you use. If you don't use them at least they should be products that you are familiar with.

Have a resource page
The majority of Pat Flynn bluehost conversions come from Smart Passive Income blog resource page. This is the page where he details all the products he has used. This is the second most visited page in his blog. And he adds, 
If you’re not utilizing a resource page for your niche on your site, you’re crazy! It’s the ultimate non-aggressive way to earn money leaving all parties happy in the end.
Traffic
Blog Visitors = money. Not every visitor will convert but the more visitors to your website the better your chances of making money. The key for getting more visitors to your website or blog is provide value. Write quality posts and write often. 

Make an effort to convert Google visitors into regular readers. You do that by asking visitors to subscribe to your newsletter and encouraging them to leave comments. Make sure your social buttons (facebook, twitter and Google +) are visible on your site. 

To your success!

Story Telling Tips: 22 Rules of Story Telling By Pixar Movie Studio

Being a  blogger is being a story teller. Whether you write a sports, mommy blog, personal finance blog e.t.c......your business is telling a good story. To be a good story teller  you need to learn from the best. One of the best story tellers is Pixar, the animation movie studio founded by the late Steve Jobs.

Story Tellings Tips By Pixar Movie Studio

Pbjpublishing have shared an infographic, 22 Rules to phenomenal story telling. Personally I call them story telling tips from Pixar movie studio. I love Pixar, their stories are original, funny, and appeal to all audiences. They’re masters.

For easier reading I post the text from Pixar Touch blog who were first to write the story telling tips.
#1: You admire a character for trying more than for their successes.
#2: You gotta keep in mind what’s interesting to you as an audience, not what’s fun to do as a writer. They can be v. different.
#3: Trying for theme is important, but you won’t see what the story is actually about til you’re at the end of it. Now rewrite.
#4: Once upon a time there was ___. Every day, ___. One day ___. Because of that, ___. Because of that, ___. Until finally ___.
#5: Simplify. Focus. Combine characters. Hop over detours. You’ll feel like you’re losing valuable stuff but it sets you free.
#6: What is your character good at, comfortable with? Throw the polar opposite at them. Challenge them. How do they deal?
#7: Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Seriously. Endings are hard, get yours working up front.
#8: Finish your story, let go even if it’s not perfect. In an ideal world you have both, but move on. Do better next time.
#9: When you’re stuck, make a list of what WOULDN’T happen next. Lots of times the material to get you unstuck will show up.
#10: Pull apart the stories you like. What you like in them is a part of you; you’ve got to recognize it before you can use it.
#11: Putting it on paper lets you start fixing it. If it stays in your head, a perfect idea, you’ll never share it with anyone.
#12: Discount the 1st thing that comes to mind. And the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th – get the obvious out of the way. Surprise yourself.
#13: Give your characters opinions. Passive/malleable might seem likable to you as you write, but it’s poison to the audience.
#14: Why must you tell THIS story? What’s the belief burning within you that your story feeds off of? That’s the heart of it.
#15: If you were your character, in this situation, how would you feel? Honesty lends credibility to unbelievable situations.
#16: What are the stakes? Give us reason to root for the character. What happens if they don’t succeed? Stack the odds against.
#17: No work is ever wasted. If it’s not working, let go and move on – it’ll come back around to be useful later.
#18: You have to know yourself: the difference between doing your best & fussing. Story is testing, not refining.
#19: Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.
#20: Exercise: take the building blocks of a movie you dislike. How d’you rearrange them into what you DO like?
#21: You gotta identify with your situation/characters, can’t just write ‘cool’. What would make YOU act that way?
#22: What’s the essence of your story? Most economical telling of it? If you know that, you can build out from there.
Here is to Successful story telling!!!!

How To Get a Book Deal From a Blog

Mashable is reporting Tumblr blog Text From Dog, which publishes fictitious SMS conversations between a dog and its owner, is the latest blog to land a book deal. 

U.K. publisher Headline Publishing announced it would release the book Oct. 25.
The blog launched in April with a brief description: “My dog sends me texts. I post them here. Yeah, it’s weird.” 

After I read the news report I wondered How To Get a Book Deal From a Blog

According to Mashable : Images are Better Than Text.

Other blogs have found success entering the book market. Dear Photograph, a popular blog showcasing photos within photos, released a book earlier this year. And the Feminist Ryan Gosling blog unleashes a book in August. The books inspired by blogs are image heavy and contain very little text.

Another thing you need for a publisher to give you a book deal is : An Online Brand.  You need your blog to be popular. You don't need to be a celebrity but you need an online persona. People need to know you, love what you offer and love you big time. Even if they don't buy the book for what is inside, they will buy it because it has your name on the cover.

Expand Your Footprint beyond your blog
Publishers are risk averse people, rarely do they give a book deal to unknown writer but if you have internet clout they may come knocking. You have to expand your footprint online. And that means being on Twitter or Facebook.  You’ll know you’re ready when a publisher will put your face on the book jacket. People need to be able to go, ‘Oh yeah, I know that guy.’ I’ve got the ‘I know that guy’"

Be Unique & Be Different
For a publisher to turn your blog to book your blog will need to be a breath of fresh air. To know you have a winner, read the feedback from your readers. If they describe your post with the following words Brilliant, Creative, Unique, Awesome...etc. Know you are on to something.

Killer Tips On How To Blog On Huffington Post

This post will show you how to blog on Huffington Post. 

Huffington post offers talented and semi talented writers an opportunity to blog on their platform. They have two classes of bloggers, paid bloggers and free bloggers. To get a paid blogging gig you will need to apply for the job just like you would apply anywhere else. If you just want to blog for Huffington Post without being paid continue reading the rest of my post. 

How To Get a Blog On Huffington Post

Apply Directly From Huffington Post Website
On the HuffingtonPost.com site, on the right towards the bottom, it has a button which says "If you have something to say" say it on Huffington Post. Click it, fill in the info they request, and they get back to you. They will require you to provide writing samples. Develop a basic portfolio of your best articles and be ready to submit it.

Target Huffington Post Editors
Find the name of the editor for the vertical [section] where you would like to submit your blog. Their emails are always their name followed by @huffingtonpost.com. 

Send them the first 400-500 words of your blog post in the body of the email, not as an attachment. You should get a response fairly soon.

Be A Prolific Commenter For Huffington Post
I have heard prolific commenters have been rewarded with writing gig. Although am not sure how true it is. If you take this route make sure your comments are lengthy, factual, insightful and unique. If you do that somebody may spot you and invite you to write for them.
  
Advantage of free blogging for Huffington Post. 

Readers for your blog 
Huffington Post has over 35 million monthly visitors. Those visitors view over 1 billion pages on the site. What this means is your blogs have a very high chance of being seen and read inside Huffington Post than when you blog for your own independent blog. 

Support For Huffington Post Bloggers.
Huffington Post has an internal system to teach you the best ways on how to write for internet. They will teach you, how to write killer headlines, how to write sticky posts, and most crucial, how to write articles that attract visitors from search engines such as Google and Bing. 

A free blog can be a stepping stone to a paid blogging gig. If your writing is world class expect their talent spotters to invite you to paid bloggers club.

Whatever route you take, Good Luck!

Some Free Wordpress Business templates.
It is hard to find a free business worpress template that is pleasing to the eye but I found the following that are not so good but not bad.

The SevenFive



This template is best for small businesses looking to build communities and share information with its users. Posts can be organized in a variety of formats including collected photos, tweets, and straight-up news posts. The lack of a huge header image or brand-focused landing page, however, makes this template less useful for showcasing products.

Snapshot Biz Template

Snapshot is another photo-heavy wordpress business template best used for showcasing your products. This small business template provides an elegant solution to giving a product overview if you don’t feel like downloading a marketplace widget. There is ample room in each photo box for a detailed description but not enough for substantial news posts.

5 Proven Ways To Make Money Blogging From Home

There are 5 proven ways to make money blogging from home. This list is for the best ways to make money blogging online. 

List of ways to make money blogging
  1. Making money with adsense using your blog.
  2. Landing public speaking gigs through your blog
  3. Selling your print book / ebook through your blog    
  4. Affiliate marketing using Niche sites.
  5. Selling training and courses.
Making Money with Adsense.
Before Google was founded, the only way to find advertisers to advertize on a website or blog was to contact advertisers directly. Google introduced Adsense program and making money from blogging became easy. Once you join the program you are given a small code to install on your site and Google will serve relevant ads to your site. You focus on writing great content for your blog and Google will take care of finding advertizers for you.

To make money with adsense your blog site will need to have content plus traffic. The rule of thumb is you will start making money when your blog starts getting 300-500 visitors a day. 

Affiliate Marketing Using Niche Sites.
E-commerce sites such as amazon.com will pay you to promote their products on your blog sites. With affiliate marketing, you promote products on your site and when those people buy those products from your site, you are paid a percentage. Amazon pays 4% the price of the product. 

Bloggers have set up sites focusing on specific products. From watches, sunglasses to web hosting. When a site is focused on one single product or service we call that a niche site. 

The formula for success with niche sites is just like above - Content + Traffic.

Selling Print Book / Ebook Through Your Blog
If you have a self published book you can start blogging to promote your book. You don't need to ship the book yourself, you can distribute the book through amazon and direct readers to purchase it from amazon.com.

If you have the time and money, you can ship the book yourself. This model is time consuming and requires capital but you will keep more profits for yourself.

Landing public speaking gigs through blogging
Another way to make money blogging is to use blogging to show case your expertise in an area. People who appreciate your talent will contact you to offer you speaking engagement. 

Selling Training Courses
The last way of making money blogging online from your home is to use blogging to promote a training course. For example if you are good in Golf, you can develop a golf training course and use your blog to promote it.

The way it works is, you use your blog to share the obvious training tips and request your readers to purchase  advanced courses.

Killers Strategies of Making Money With A Website


A website is a good platform of making money. The success of websites such Amazon.com, zappos.com is evidence that there is money to be made by creating a website to sell products.

This article will show you top notch strategies that you can use to make money with a website. 

1. It is better to sell a specific product than all product

Don't try to be Amazon.com. Try to sell every product under the sun is bad strategy. Targeting everyone is basically equal to targeting no one. Be specific about your target audience. It is easier to make money when your website is focused in selling a single product.

2. Website Development Platform

My favorite website design software is WordPress. Wordpress comes free of charge when you purchase web hosting.  Wordpress will full fill most of the small business website requirements.

Benefits of wordpress,
  •     You can manage your website really easily without the help of a coder
  •     You can enhance your website using plugins
  •     WordPress websites usually get indexed in the Google pretty fast
3.  Website Template / Theme Design

The design you choose for your website will determine whether customers will buy from your website or close your website. Your strategy for designing a money making website should be; the design should tell a visitor what the website is about. If you sell sunglasses you should have images of eye wear everywhere.

I recommend you purchase a premium e-commerce wordpress theme.


4. Content For Your Money Making Website

Following are the most important pages for a website designed to make money.

    Home
    About
    Services
    Testimonials
    Contact Us
    Blog
First of all you must have all the above pages on your website as bare minimum and secondly make sure these pages are easily accessible through your main navigation.

A blog is not a must but research shows, companies that blog get 55% more traffic. You can use the blog to connect with your customers. 



5. Capture E-mails And Send Out A Newsletter

Make an effort to get email addresses of your buyers. You can then use the email to send them a newsletter with information on future promotions and product announcement.  If someone buys from your website today, he is more likely to buy again and again.

The trick with getting people to part with emails is to offer them something free. It can be a gift voucher or a report. A strategy that have seen work is offering people an opportunity to enter a competition to win a free voucher or free stuff (that is if you can afford it).

6 Connect Your Website with Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus.
Use social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter to drive traffic back to your business website.
Place social media buttons on your website so that visitors can easily connect.

5 Things To Do As You Prepare To Register For Facebook Ad Network

Facebook won't confirm they are cooking an Ad network to rival Google 5 Things To Do As You Prepare To Register For Facebook Ad NetworkAdsense. But there is growing evidence it is only a matter of time before they launch their own Ad network. Facebook recently launched Facebook exchange - which creates targeted ads based on users' activity on the Web and now it is being reported Zynga.com has started running Facebook Ads. Anyone smell an advertising network? I do. 

Anyone using wordpress may have noticed the recently launched Official Facebook plugin for wordpress. The plugins enables a floating banner on your side bar. For now the banner shows related post. Am wondering : is this a preparation of adding relevant ads?

When Facebook Ad Network comes out I will be among the first to apply and register with it. 

I use Google Adsense across my network of sites and I think every owner of a blog site should prepare to register with Facebook Ad network the same way we do with Google Adsense.

5 Things To Do As You Prepare To Register For Facebook Ad Network

1. Traffic : Traffic : Traffic
Make sure your website or blog has enough Traffic. From my experience with Google Adsense, A site starts making money when you starts seeing daily visitors in the range of 300 - 500. My business rule is I start running contextual ad only when a site crosses 200 daily visitors.

2. Captivating Content
Great content will get you traffic. Your content should be meaningful and enrich the readers. Before hitting that publish button, ask yourself. How does this post benefit the reader? 

3. Content That Attracts Advertiser
Your blog should be in a niche that has a rich pool of advertisers. If the content you provide on your blog attracts high paying ads you’re going to do significantly better.

4. Follow Terms And Condition. 
Google Adsense has lengthy Terms and condition document and Facebook being Facebook, I don't expect theirs to be any different.  Don't waste time trying to game the system by running illegal software designed to boost your impression.

5. To summarize things, Your revenue will only grow as high as the weakest one of these factors on your blog. For example if you have high paying, relevant, well designed and positioned ads but no traffic you’ll not do well. Likewise if you have high traffic, high paying and relevant ads but they are poorly designed an in a position where they’ll never be seen – you’ll waste all your other hard work.

Facebook Ad Network Vs Google Adsense

The long rumoured Facebook Ad network is here. Facebook Ads and Sponsored Stories Are Now Running On Zynga.com. The change was first noticed by Inside Facebook and it has the media speculating up a storm about whether this is the beginning of Facebook's battle with Google Adsense.

Facebook has not official confirmed they have launched and Ad network but all evidence point they are planning one. They recently luanched Facebook exchange.  Which creates targeted ads based on users' activity on the Web -- but swore that it wasn't an ad network.

I have no doubt Zynga is being used as a test bed to test the waters before being unleashed to big and small sites.

The news of a Facebook Ad Network will be a welcome news to small and big publishers who have been yearning fora rival to Google Adsense.

There have been many wanna be competitors to Google Adsense but all of them have fallen short. Facebook is the only serious competitor. Facebook has deep pockets and best of all billions of data to serve relevant ads.

How Facebook Ads Look
Personally am excited by the look of this ad block. Google Adsense does not have images next to their contextual ads and this has limited CTR. If Facebook allows publishers to run this type of ads expect some very high CTR.

Tactics I Use To Get Repeat Visitors To My Blog Site

One of the hardest thing in blogging is to get repeat visitors. The visitors who visit your site for the first time and they keep returning for more.

I use the following tactics to get repeat visitors to my blog sites.

1. Staying Relevant

Many people make mistake of promoting so many affiliate products at the expense of writing useful articles. I try to always stay relevant with topics that are useful and informative. 

2. Being Specific

General and broad subjects are hard to cover for most blogs.  If a site is about playing better golf, i don't chime in with my opinions on NBA.

Narrowing your topic helps you reach specific readers that are 100% focused on that particular topic.  These people will come back every day to see what you have to offer.

3. Plan for Months Not Days

I have a blog editorial calendar that stretches 2 months in advance.

Planning months in advance allows you to be smart about topic selection.  You’ll be able to see natural ways to group your blog posts and create a steady, consistent rhythm.  This planning results in steady repeat traffic.

4. Hang Out with Your readers on Facebook and Twitter

Don't use Facebook and other social media as just outlets to churn out your content. I make sure I show up and actively participate on those platforms.

5. Connect with Regular Readers

I make an effort to know my regular readers. If they live comments on my blog, I reach out to them via email or a comment in their blogs.  The first contact is just to say a big thank you for leaving a comment on my blog. This personal connection helps cement authentic relationships and create opportunities for partnering and sharing resources.

6. Publish Consistently

It’s difficult to build a repeat readership with a sporadic publishing schedule.  Pick a publishing frequency and schedule and stick with it.  Your consistency says that you care about your reader’s time and you take your blog seriously.

Writers Block Help : Tips To Get Your Creative Juices Flowing

Writers block affects all bloggers. Writers block is not a bad thing. My theory is, this is a way our mind tells us it has had enough and it wants a rest.

Writers Block Help : Tips To Get Your Creative Juices Flowing

These are the things I do whenever I suffer from writers block. 

Relax
Drink a glass of warm milk or herbal tea.
Wiggle your toes. Reflexology says that your feet similar to a control panel for the rest of your body. Channels of energy end up in the feet and every part of the body is connected with these stinky friends. 

When you wiggle your toes, you stimulate your body, as it allows energy to flow freely and smoothly. So, wiggle your worries away!

Rub your tummy. This soothes the digestive system, relaxing your body eventually. 

Get Plenty Of Sleep
A good night's sleep makes you feel energized and alert the next day.

Inspire Yourself
Read articles in your niche. Go outside the blogging sphere and read newspapers and magazines. The more you read the more ideas you will get to kick start your blogging.

Stop Trying So Hard and Surrender
Writers block is like insomnia. The harder you try to get to sleep the more awake you are. Accept your mind has hard enough and it needs a rest. The more you rest the more energy you will have.

Restore peace to you mind
Of course, nothing beats the idea of having peace of mind. A calm mind and a happy heart are the keys to good and healthy life. 

So, let go of your worries and forgive your enemies. Indeed, having peace of mind can send your creative juices flowing. 

Here is to a creative blogging journey.

Best Birth Photography Wordpress Theme

When choosing a wordpress theme for your birth photography website I recommend you purchase a premium theme over a free theme.

A Premium theme comes with A+ grade support which is missing in Free themes. This is because the developers build Premium themes as a means of livelihood and thus tend to provide excellent grade support.

Premium themes also have several unique features that are otherwise lacking in Free themes. Plus, due to stiff competition, theme providers are working hard to make their offerings the best of the lot and thus, Premium themes happen to be super-rich in features.

Premium themes generally pay great attention to details. In fact, they often have better tweaks for settings such as SEO than their Free counterparts.

Unlike Free themes, Premium themes are not so common and this can lend a unique appeal to your birth photography website.

One theme designed with photography in mind is Photocrati.
This photography wordpress theme comes with different colors.

Although designed with general photography in mind. This template would be perfect for your birth photography site.

Features:

The world’s most popular photography WordPress theme.
Blog + website + galleries.
60 styles out of the box.
The only WordPress theme with built-in ecommerce galleries.
