How To Pick The Right Niche For Your Monetised Blog

In this post I am going to briefly discuss on how to pick the right niche for your monetized blog.

Here is a quick outline of the steps you need to take :

1. List out Your Passions

2. Make A List Of Things You Do Well

3. Merge the 1st Two Lists mentioned above

4. Choose Your Favorite 2-3 Niches

5. Determine The Traffic Potential

6. Determine The Money Making Potential

7. Make Sure You Have Time For The Niche

You should choose a niche in a target market that you CAN and WANT to spend a LONG time serving. While you can have online success by going from one niche to another or by creating products in niches that you are not passionate about, it is always much easier to build a monetized blog by sticking with one niche market that you LOVE and cater to that target market.

To help target the right niche, you need to decide who your ideal audience is. You can do this by answering the following question: Who will I enjoy serving the most?

To sum up : If you REALLY want to make big money online AND enjoy it at the same time, target your monetised blog for a niche you would LOVE to serve. You would want your blog to be enjoyable and easy to read !!

INCREASE Blog Traffic With Quality Content

So why do people visit a blog in the first place ? Think about the blogs that you visit frequently. What is holding your attention to these blogs ? I’m very sure that your favorite blogs do a good job of entertaining and/or educating you. And they do this with quality content.

Blog traffic can be increased by writing posts with quality content, and it turns random visitors into regular readers !

The benefits of quality blog content do not just end there. Other bloggers are also more likely to link to and/or cite one of your blog posts (or your blog in general) if it contains great information.

And as you probably know, increasing the number of links to your blog from other websites also increases your search engine visibility on top of generating direct referral traffic to your site.

What Is Quality Content?

So what is quality content and how do you create it?

I feel that quality website content should have the following traits :

It explores the subject matter in great detail, regardless of the subject being addressed.

It is well-written with proper spelling and grammar which makes it easy for people to read.

It is interesting and insightful. It doesn’t just rehash what everyone else is saying — it speaks for itself.

It is updated frequently to address current events / changes within the subject matter.

It is written with a clear purpose in mind – be it to entertain, educate or persuade, etc.

Now that you know blog traffic can be increased with quality content, the only thing left for you to do is start generating that great content !

Online Tools : Forum Marketing

Forums are one of the aspects of the web that make is such a great medium.

It is shocking how many people there are interested in almost any topic you can imagine. Forums give those people a place to congregate and talk about what they like.

If you're promoting a product or service in a given niche, you need to become part of that community. That means you need to locate online forums where those folks hangout, and start participating.

Once you sign up for a forum, post regularly so people get to know you. Post questions, answer questions etc. Tell people where to find good information etc.

Or make frequent contributions to popular threads there. Be sure to go into your forum profile and edit your "signature". Make a signature that includes the link to your blog or site. That way, every time you make a post, anyone who sees it will see your signature and potentially click on your link. For posting on forums without a profile signature creation, remember to conclude with a signature ad/link.

Working on forums takes a little time to work, so don't expect a traffic gusher right away. But this is also one of the easiest ways to get free traffic, and it lets you build a reputation in your niche for the long run. That will build your traffic steadily over time.

Some of the popular forums are listed below :

My Marketing Forum

Instant Buzz Community Forum

Free Advertising Forum

Marketing Study Hall

ABlake Forum

The Warriors Forum

eBanking Tools : Online Credit Card Processing

Hello fellow bloggers ! The first of my series on toolkits is internet credit card processing for businesses that operate or intend to operate online.

Processing credit cards online was once only for the privileged large ecommerce sites like Amazon. Since the introduction of affordable online credit card processing facilities, a variety of websites both large and small now have merchant credit card processing services which enable them to take orders online and charge credit card orders in real time.

Credit card processing facilities have now enabled the more traditional merchant to practically work from home, automating the entire online shopping experience thus freeing up more time to focus on other important areas of running an online business, such as website promotion and marketing. And when you accept credit cards online, you can expect your sales to increase by an astounding 50 to 400%.

Internet credit card processing generally requires that you have a merchant account with your local bank (many new website owners who are entering the online store arena already have this from their existing business). This merchant account simply ties into the service that the online credit card processing company has. Often the company or payment gateway can help you set this up if you have not already done so.

Still lost as to how a payment gateway / online credit card transactions work?

Below is a simple flowchart which hopefully will give you a clearer picture of what this is all about :

For more information on payment gateways and accepting credit cards online I suggest contacting one of my recommended ebanking / credit card processing partners:

Free Image and File Hosting

Hi Bloggers !!! It’s a brand new day !! Had fun uploading your blogs with plenty of images, audios, videos or files ? Reality check, you find your storage space running low. Either you buy additional storage space, OR you can also upload them onto third party hosts and show them in your Blog page using Links. A simple search on the net will reveal many such sites, some of which I will highlight below.

As these are free sites, you can expect them to impose limits on their bandwidth and storage space usage. Read their terms carefully and try them out if you'd like, but as a precaution, keep backups of all the files in your computer or CDs.
