Do you use Squidoo to drive traffic to your products or affiliate links? If so then please do come and join my Squidoo group related to affiliate and internet marketing.
If you join up with a relevant lens then I will at the very least rate and favorite your lens/lenses. If I have the opportunity I will also leave a comment. So this is really a win, win situation for you as extra ratings for your lens are a great way to get them to move up the rankings.
What I would like to do with this group is also to build a community where we also visit each others lenses and rate them too. In this way we are helping each other, creating links back to our own lenses and overall we will all benefit.
So please head over there and check it out….it will definitely be worth the couple of minutes it will take you. Happy Squidooing!
When you are creating a blog it is better to narrow it down to a niche, rather than trying to cover everything, and thereby not really end up appealing to anyone.
When you choose your first niche, I think the best thing is to go with something that you know about and will enjoy writing about – that way providing fresh content is going to be that much easier. As you progress, and you start seeing how much money these blogs can generate, you may decide to create a large number of them. However, by that point you will have probably reached a level where you can start outsourcing some of the content creation.
Ok, so first off, choose something that you know at least a little about. This could literally be anything, a sport, pets, health, weight-loss, handbags, clothing. The list really is endless, but make your choice and go with it.
I recently set up a blog in the weight-loss niche, this is partly because I enjoy writing about health related topics and also because there are a number of ways you can monetize the site by adding Clickbank products.
However, don’t be confined just by Clickbank, as today with the great affiliate programs run by Amazon and eBay you can easily find products to monetize almost any site, from cars to baby clothes and everything in between.
What is key to remembering is that you are going to have to create content for this blog going forward, and if it not something that you can create yourself from scratch then you are going to have to re-use PLR material, so make sure it is something that you can readily research, understand and be able to impart this knowledge to others on. Now by this I don’t mean in a very complex manner but just something that you can put across in an accessible way that is easy to read.
