I just set up a blog in my health niche blog sites called Stages of Menopause. I’m working on setting up a network of my own blogs concerned with various subniches of the health niche. The idea is to create a network of blogs that has interconnections similar to that of a spiders web….the more blogs the better.

One of the easiest ways to develop a series of blogs is by purchasing a premade or preexisting blog.

You can find blogs for sale on ebay, look for auctions on blogs that fit your niche.

You can find blogs for sale on sites like digitalpoint.com or other marketing related websites and forums. Flipping blogs or flopping blogs has also become popular, just google “website flipping” or “blog flipping” and you’ll find sites and reports on how to start building and flipping your own blogs.

The first thing I do is to look at some of the forums to see what’s available (see below paragraph). After finding the appropriate niche, I look for some long tailed keywords using a tool like Micro Niche Finder or Keyword Research Pro. I develop a list of keywords and then I see which of those are available as a domain. Purchase the domain and then set it up as one of my domains on my reseller hosting, either Ultimate Marketing Center or Site5 Reseller Hosting ……both have been excellent with support second to none.

One of the places I constantly keep my eyes on is the Warrior Forum, in the WSO section you can find special offers for premade websites and blogs. Often times you can pick up a blog that is prepopulated with 10 to 20 PLR articles in a custom wordpress theme for less than $20. Remember, chances are the creator of the blog sold at least 10 of these sites and could be as many as 50 of these same sites on the internet. It really doesn’t matter how many are sold because 90% or more of those purchased won’t do anything with it, secondly those that do upload the site won’t make any changes to the site or articles at all. Here’s a list of things to do before and after purchasing one of these premade blogs.

1. make sure the site comes with plr articles you can edit
2. transferring wordpress blogs can be difficult, make sure the creator has a clear cut set up pdf or video, and make sure you’ll be able to contact them after you purchase in case you run into trouble during the installation…..ask these questions in the open, as in the forum environment….if the seller is short with you….don’t expect much help
3. if you are planning to flipping the site make sure you have the proper rights or license
4. change any and all affiliate links
5. edit any optin forms to your own autoresponder
6. find long tail keywords that correspond with the content of each article or blog post
7. Rewrite the title of each blog post, be sure to include the long tail keyword…this is important!
8. Rewrite each blog post so that it is unique, be sure to include the long tail keyword that was used in the title, in the blog post at least 3 times
9. add an image to each blog post, make sure you use the long tail keyword in the name of the image and in the alt tag
10. publish the post
11. after publishing, go back and submit the blog post to social bookmarking and networking sites
12. pick out 10 more long tail keywords and write or edit 10 more articles for blog posts and submit
13. chances are you will have a very healthy piece of virtual real estate otherwise known as VRE

There’s much more you can do with these sites, but if that were all you did and you did this 5 or 10 times a month you would create a nice little network of blogs that would be valuable for all kinds of different purposes besides a monthly number of clicks from Goggle

You could drip feed articles if you have them.

You could build the blog further by any number of autoposting or autoblogging methods.

Bottom line, at least for me, is that finding a prebuilt blog saves me some time….If you find one in the niche you’re interested in, or want to develop it’s a quick way to get some content up quick. You can always develop it latter.

Of course it will take some time to get traffic to the site, I use Auto Social Poster plugin a well kept secret used by so called gurus for quick spidering, fast indexing and constant traffic, its well worth the price because your blog will get indexed and spidered quickly. I also use Slick Auto Poster and Article Stalker for autoposting full lenght keyword rich articles. Once established, I’ll add Google Adsense, Ebay, Amazon and add an optin form…..I might do only one of these or all of them some of these plugins allow you to use your keywords in the plugin to pull in relevant products or articles when autoblogging.

My goal is simple, get the site to produce $10 a month. I keep it simple. I know if I can get 10 sites to produce $10 a month, I’m making $100 a month. That’s not much money but it’s a very real number. Now all you need to do is expand your efforts, shoot for 100 sites a month making $10. Maybe it takes me a year to do that, but I’ll be making $1000 a month on autopilot. I know from experience some of those sites won’t make $10 a month…..some will make less, some will make a lot more!

Here’s an example of one of the sites I purchased on the warrior special offers forum, a blog on “menopause“. All I did was create a new header and install according to the authors instruction. Take a look at Stages of Menopause

One way to start making some money online is by writing articles. Writing is easy if you understand some of the basics of writing.

Heck, you might just want your articles for yourself and that’s really simple to do!

First you’re going to need some research. You’ll have to choose a subject and then ask some questions about the subject or topic. You’ll need to do some google searches for your ideas and locate some content that will talk about your specific issues.

These questions will yield unique content that will help you to create and write unique articles. What if I told you there was an automated way to ask and gather the answers to questions you have about your topic?

I have a handful of wordpress.com blogs and found it to be a real hassle trying to keep them updated with fresh content.

Most people know about this feature but I thought I’d put up a quick post regarding “posting to wordpress.com by email” which is a really nice way to get some content up quickly without having to log in all the time. Simply write and email and send it to the super secret email address and you’re email becomes a post on your blog.

You can include things like images, videos, audio and other formats that will be automatically included in your post. It’s a pretty neat feature and you might find yourself using it more and more!

You can find out more about Posting to Wordpress.com by Email…..click on the link. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/

Here’s a quick video that goes over the features of posting by email:

The Wordpress platform has become one of the most powerful marketing tools on the internet today. When you create a membership site for marketing purposes, you are opening the door to tons of revenue in the end and this can easily be done if you are using Wordpress. This is due to the fact that Membership sites are very lucrative and easy to use if you structure them properly.

Most internet marketers have a mistaken belief that Wordpress is just for blogs or maybe a website. However, this belief is totally false and if they use Wordpress correctly and to its maximum flexibility, they will discover it is a great all around marketing tool. One of the newest marketing aspects of Wordpress has been the use as wordpress membership sites.  There are a number of internet businesses that are using membership site plugins but not every one of them are made the same.  There are a few basic criteria which any membership plugins should have to create a great membership site for your marketing site. One of the newest and most comprehensive membership plugins for wordpress is called Wishlist Member.

Wordpress Membership Site Plugins Criteria For Marketing

1. Membership levels and types:
When you have the ability to create multiple levels of membership you will have the flexibility to allow special promotions or even higher membership levels in which you will give members access to more in-depth information if they pay more for it. Also it is important to have levels that are free, subscription based, and also a onetime payment.

2. RSS Feed Encryptions:
You will want to make sure that any information that you want members only to have access to do not get broadcast through your RSS feed.  If your RSS feed is not encrypted then anyone who would visit or join your site would see the information you are limiting to visitors without even paying for it. Failing to encrypt your RSS feeds can result in losing thousands of dollars in revenue.

3. Content Teasers
This will allow you to have a small portion of certain content for visitors to your site.  In order for them to read on they will have to click on a link which will tell them they will have to subscribe to read the rest of the article.

4. Sequential Delivery
If you have a membership that you are training people or are just wanting to make sure that visitors gain access to certain content that you are offering on a monthly basis you will need to be sure that you have sequential delivery.  If you do not have this then someone can gain access to all of your content from the very first day.

5. Payment Gateways
Some plugins only work with PayPal which gives you major limitations. You will want the ability to work with any merchant processor you wish.

6. Training and Support

You need to have a strong customer satisfaction which is important for any business. If you do not have access to the owner of the plugin then do not use it because it would not work with your marketing business.

These are all necessary parts of your membership site for your marketing site. If your plugin does not have any of these then you will need to search for another plugin that does. You can discover a number of free methods of creating a wordpress membership site and of course there are some paid wordpress membership plugins that are much better…..only you can decide what is necessary with your wordpress marketing site.

Pay per click marketing is one of the most widely used forms of paying for advertising there is on the internet today.  The method of charging you, the advertiser, has been most generally credited to Bill Gross.  This method was first introduced into the internet world in 1998.  It is also one of the most popular on the internet today. It does have several drawbacks but also several advantages. Understanding PPC can help you avoid falling into the drawbacks of PPC advertising, a good idea to ask “What is PPC Marketing?”.

The main basic idea of PPC is that people like you purchase links on search engines or on sites that employ search engines ad, such as blogs for one example. You only pay for your ad when a visitor clicks on your link. The fees that you will pay for this type of marketing usually vary considerably.  When considering the cost the search engine terms that are used more frequently tend to cost more than the keywords that are less frequently used.

What Is PPC Marketing

You may be more familiar with the more common pay for click advertising that appears with Google.  What you are probably not aware of is that a lot of other search engines have a program similar to this for their commercial clients.  There are generally two different ways that you can have your advertising ad appear on the search engines.  The first one is known as the sponsored matched PPC advertising.  In this program ads appear in the organic search engine pages.  When a potential visitor searches for a certain keyword and your ad is related to that topic, then it most generally will pop up off to the side of the search engine, typically a designated advertising space.

The other form of PPC marketing is called content match.  When certain people create sites that contain private content they have the ability to choose to participate in programs that will allow them to run ads on their personal pages.  Most generally they are also reimbursed for advertising the pay per click site as well. This is most generally though just a small percentage of what the original advertising site owner makes. This profit can be anywhere from a few cents to a few dollars depending on the contract terms.  This is a great way for a private site owner to gain traffic to their site because visitors will most generally click on their link to check out the advertising.  Discovering what ppc marketing is can be an involved task for anyone just getting online, but stick with it because the subject of ppc will come up often!

If you have decided that PPC might work great for you will be able to find a variety of different companies on the search engines.  You must take considerable time to research which company will best suit your PPC marketing needs.

Creating a blog is a great way for anyone to share their life experiences and even advertise their business. To date there are no actual code of ethics developed for bloggers to follow but there are three common sense ethic codes that anyone should follow while they are running their blog posts. These are the code of ethics that will prove you as a trustworthy blog owner.

1. Fair and Honest:

You need to be fair and honest to your followers. You need to make sure all the information you provide is honest without adding any false information. When you are providing facts you need to make them distinct, true, and easy to follow. Do not attempt to distort your facts, visitors can read this right away and as a result, you will lose visitors. If you happen to provide any information, in your site that may appear to be false; you need to provide your reader with factual information to back up your statement. If you are adding pictures to your blog add captions underneath to explain to the reader about the picture. Fair and Honest are two of the most important components of the bloggers code of ethics.

2. Harm of others:

When you are creating a blog topic on a very controversial issue avoid using any ones names or places. This will protect you from any lawsuits and also from hurting visitors’ feelings. A good motto for this code of ethic would be, say to others what you would want them to say about you. You also need to be sure that you protect a person’s privacy. Invading a person’s privacy is rude as well as intrusive. If you do not want someone doing it to you then do not do it to others. A great way to avoid violating this blog code of ethic is to avoid using names or places if it all possible. If it is unavoidable try to use as much damage control as possible.

3. Be Accountable:

You need to accept the consequences that may come with your blog. If you have made a mistake in any of your postings admit it right away, do not try to avoid it. Everyone makes mistakes and if you own up to yours you will be more respected in the readers eyes.

If someone happens to question your information on your blog open up a discussion with the person. Try to see why they feel the way they do and if they prove to be right, apologize to the person and admit that yes you are right I did make a mistake. If you are not accountable for your blog you will be in violation of the blog code of ethics and as a result, you will lose followers.

All of these blog codes of ethics are common sense but also the most neglected parts of Blogging. Following a basic code of ethics will enable you to be trustworthy blogger to your visitors.
