3 Ways To Market And Profit From Blogging (Part 2)

 1) Interact With Your Visitors   

 When you now have the traffic you deserve. You should begin interacting with your visitors. Create a regular theme or update such as: "Monday Money Tips" or "Picture of the Week or Month" which entices your readers to look forward to each week. Give your readers advance notice about a products, services, or topic which you are going to review and then talk about it later.  

If the President for example, was scheduled to give a speech, then in your blog you should state that you "will discuss the speech and give your opinion after the speech airs. Comments will be appreciated". Try your best to find exclusive information that not many have. Do not disclose any confidential or secret information which is deemed illegal or can potentially get you into trouble, but try to get the scoop before everyone else does. Such as: If your blog was about a socialite and you had a blog entry about "A Celebrity Or Socialite Getting Married" then it would be interesting to your readers, if you had the actual picture of the celebrity or socialite engagement ring. 

 Give your best effort to dig and search the internet for exclusive information and you will possibly come up with something useful. Your readers will appreciate this and they show their appreciation through word-of-mouth referrals. Imagine how many readers will tell their friends, family, and others about information they only can find at your blog.

2) Make Money
Once your blog has gained some real momentum and your blog traffic is increasing then it is time to start thinking about turning your traffic into profit. You should use contextual advertising, like Google Adsense or Amazon. Contextual advertising is usually text links which use the content of your blog to publish targeted ads on your blog. The payout is usually based on a pay-per-click model, meaning for ever click an ad receives you are paid a small percentage of the profits. In addition to contextual advertising it is good to also use graphical advertising such as: Amazon.com or General Sponsored Advertising.

3) Get Professional
You're a professional now! What are you still doing with that free blog hosting service? It is time to upgrade to a domain hosted solution. You need to get a web host and choose a domain name for your blog then check its availability.  Select the blogging software you wish to use, such as: Blogger.com, WordPress.org, TypePad,etc. When you have your new blog domain setup and ready for traffic then it is time for you to announce your move on all your previous blog accounts. 

 

Your last entry to the blog should be a "move" announcement. The title should be "Moved" and the blog entry should state something like "I have a new home for my blog, please bookmark and follow the link: http://www.YourNewBlogDomainName.com". This way all returning visitors and new readers should not have any problem finding your new blog domain. Plus, search engines can easily index and crawl your new blog, since your old blog should already be popular with the search engines. At the level of a professional blogger you may want to team up with 1 or more other bloggers. This will create a more interesting and more powerful blog. The old saying "two heads is better than one", more authors mean more advertising and exposure because each author will have a vested interest in the blog. The idea of a team blog is to make it profitable and rewarding for all authors, while continuing to target the blog topic and keeping the blog interesting for visitors. 

 

There is no guarantee that your blog will become popular or a household name, but the effort should at least put you one step closer. Making money online is not an overnight experience like many may think, but making money online is definitely a foreseeable possibility.  As well, growing popularity on the web is not an overnight experience, but through time, dedication, and persistence you will be rewarded with all the royalties of blogging. Have a Nice Day.

6 More Strategies To Improve Focus (Part 2)

1. Make a distraction to-do list. The Internet has made it easy for many of us to become quickly distracted.
As soon as we want to look something up, we hop on the Internet to do a search. “I wonder what’s happening on Facebook.” “What was the name of the actor in that movie?” “How long will it take me to drive to the zoo tomorrow?” Anytime we get distracted like this it takes about 25 minutes to get back to the original task. So instead, next time you want to look up something or an idea pops in your head, jot it down on a piece of paper (or, even better, use Evernote).

2. Learn to say NO. If you already have full day’s task list, don’t feel like you have to take on another project for someone else.

3. Create an environment that works for you. Do you need a quiet space, free from people, phones and television noise? Set up your office so it works for you. Decorate it in soothing colors, inspiring artwork and a comfortable chair. If you work best in a neat and clean area, make sure you put away or file papers and magazines. Get rid of clutter. If you focus better while listening to music or some kind of ambient noise, be sure to have a way to make that happen.

4. Take a break when needed. Short breaks help break up boredom and burnout when you’re working on a big project. Get up and walk around the room. Do some yoga stretches.

5. Break up or Chunk it. Break your tasks down into smaller more manageable chunks of time with short breaks in between. For example, work on a task in 15 minute chunks. For example, let’s say you’re writing an eBook. Don’t try to do the whole thing at once. Break it down. Take 15 minutes to write out your outline. Take a short break. Then 15 minutes to research the first chapter. And so on.

6. Use an app on your phone to boost your productivity and concentration. Apps like Evernote can keep you organized and keep track of distractions. An app like Brainwave can be downloaded to your iPhone. In this app, you can choose settings like Concentration Boost and Problem Solving, Brainstorming, or Memory Boost and Creative Thinking. There are other apps that help you stay focused and productive as well. The strategies for becoming more focused are endless. Make lists. Remove distractions. Set up your ideal environment. You need to find what works best for your style of working. Stay safe and have a great month and year ahead.

5 Quotes And Characteristics Of Successful Investors (Part 3)

 1. They are focused “The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.” – Andrew Carnegie Successful investors are focused on their investment vehicle. They take it one step at a time; one investment at a time. For instance; Tim Ferris said on his blog that he would rather stick to angel investing than attempt to stock trade because he understands angel investing better.Warren Buffett is focused on stocks, Tim Ferris on angel investing, Jim Rogers on commodities future and Donald Trump on real estate.

2. Successful investors use trend to their advantage “Your greatest and most powerful business survival strategy is going to be the speed at which you handle the speed of change. That speed of change is trend.” – Ajaero Tony Martins 

Another attribute of successful investors is that they know how to use trend to their advantage. Average investors panic over market fluctuations but professional investors welcome these fluctuations because it’s based on these fluctuations that they make their money. Successful investors use trends such as market sentiments, political instability and company’s crisis to their advantage. “Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy. Profit from folly rather than participate in it.” – Warren Buffett

3. They are persistent
“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” – Henry Ford

Sticking to your investing strategy whether you are winning or losing requires a great deal of persistence. Average investors lack persistence and that’s why they will forever remain average. They jump from one strategy to another and are always looking for the next hot tip. “Most people give up just when they are about to achieve success. They quit on one yard line. They give up the at last minute of the game one foot from a winning touch down.” – Henry Ross Perot

4. They thrive on risk
“Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.” – Warren Buffett 

Investing is a risk but not knowing what you are doing is a greater risk. Every professional investor, whether on the winning or losing side still respect the 50-50 probability of success or failure. A major difference between a professional investor and an average investor is that a professional investor will always invest with a strong risk management system in place. Have you ever heard of the word “Hedge?”

“Seek advice on risk from the wealthy who still take risks, not friends who dare nothing more than a football bet.” – J. Paul Getty

5. Successful investors are disciplined

Successful investors are strict with themselves when it comes to investing.
Aside their investing rules and principles, they are still guided by a strong self imposed standard.
Professional investors know that it takes a great deal of discipline to stick to your investing strategies despite distractions from self proclaimed investment pundits.

“My two rules of investing: Rule one – never lose money. Rule two – never forget rule one.” – Warren Buffett

  I want to state categorically that becoming a successful investor is within your reach. Just model the masters of the game and you will see yourself improving.

3 Smart Ways To Profit As A Broilers Chickens Farmer

When farmers lament about not making profit from their poultry business, most times I often wonder what went wrong. The truth is, poultry business is lucrative. I mean poultry is a lucrative business if you have very reliable funding sources. But, don't let that confuse you. Poultry business most of the time gives you what you put in. If done any how, It's simply GIGO. Garbage In, Garbage Out. Making profit from poultry business isn't by chance. Maybe this is why most farmers complain. They don't plan. They just get in and expect to cash out big since it's generally said that poultry business is a lucrative business. Let me share these 3 major secrets.....

1. First, learn to understand that broilers are meant to be kept for a short time. I mean few weeks to a month or twos depending on weight target. So, do your best to get the most productivity within the shortest possible time. Science says 1.9kg at 6 weeks. You can get excellent performance from your Broilers as long as you keep them healthy always. Broilers will only give you the best performance when they are healthy. Healthy birds are fast growing birds. A sick broiler bird or chicken can never give you any good result. If at all, it'll take a longer time and the longer you keep Broilers the more chances you will lose your money. If you can reach your target within 6 to 8 weeks, do the best practices to get that result and make yours sales.

2. Secondly, Cut Mortality to the minimum. I see farmers happy that they bought 100 birds and were only able to get 60 of the birds  to maturity, I don't seem to understand. Some may say that you can never keep a set of poultry birds and not lose any of them. Is that true? The truth is, you can keep 500 birds without losing any of them. The possibility of this is high when you stop believing everything you were told about poultry before and start learning new ways to take care of  your birds especially Broilers. Imagine losing 40% of your birds. How do you intend to recover from that? What I mean is, you bought 100 birds and you raised them up to 8 weeks. Before 6 weeks you already lost 40 birds. There is no way you will be get your money back, let alone making any profit. This is why some people hype the price of chicken so much. How is that the customers problem, if you lost many of your birds? It's part of the risks involved. Do you expect the customer to pay for your mortality or the bird? Raising birds is already hard work, losing your money along is a bad luck. Your birds don't just die. They die mostly from illness or too much heat. If you can prevent the illness, you will keep your birds alive. I manage well to keep broilers always healthy and growing everyday by frequent observation, also making sure the birds are in clean fresh environment. Don't joke with liter management. Your birds are like your babies. Even if they'll live for a short time, make them enjoy the time and in turn they'll give you what you want. "However vast you've become in poultry or any business, Don't joke with the simple things that matter". You can actually raise chickens without doses of vaccine or synthetic antibiotics but pure organic and save yourself a lot of hassles. Finally, profitability in poultry comes from keeping the mortality rate very low and ensuring your birds are always healthy. You can make #181,000 from 8weeks 100 broilers after disposing all birds at exactly 8 weeks 4 days with the high cost of feed and everything.  Possible Average cost price #3100 per bird 

Possible Average selling price #5200 per bird

By keeping mortality very low and productivity can excellent. 3 Mortality from 100 birds. Pure organic medication from day 1. The amazing part is record keeping. Keep detailed records. So why are you not making any profits? Note: Any disease outbreak in a farm is a setback. Even if they will recover it'll take a longer time to reach your target and that's already a loss. Try Organic feed additives for (fast growth and weight boosting, immune boosting, gut health maintenance, appetite boosting and high feed conversion) this can be profitable. 

3. Finally, Always produce towards seasons of celebration for example towards December Christmas and New year festivals, Thanksgiving festivals, Easter festivals, Eid Festivals, such as Eid al-Adha, Eid al-Fitr festivals, and so on . Have you heard the economics term "The higher the demand, the higher the price" This helps you get favorable demand and good pricing of your birds when it is towards any  seasons of celebrations in any country, but importantly in Nigeria. Nigerians are very ceremonial people and usually try to make purchases towards any ceremonial season, this will boost your sales and even give very profitable and acceptable high pricing of birds and products. Have a nice day.
