4 Ways To Develop A Base Of Regular Readers For Information Blogs

An information focused blog is usually centered around news and how to information. Most Internet marketing blogs fall under this category. Your front end product is the content you provide.

 

Your blog could primarily be information focused, rather the product review focused.

You can share how to info centered on online and affiliate marketing. 

The affiliate commissions you can make from the blog can be stealthy. You will be able to link directly to products with just a mention of their titles, or in keywords associated with them.

 
For example, you may have a post where you talk about the importance of list building, and hyperlink those types of keywords with an affiliate link for a list building related product or service.

You can also monetize your blog in other places by using Adsense ads, Amazon ads, affiliate banners, etc.

You can do this same thing for other niches. In fact, I would recommend coming up with a niche unrelated to Internet marketing. Again, think of the areas that interest you or in which you have some knowledge to share. It might be cooking or car repair or anything else you feel you could write about on a frequent basis.

Your posts don't have to be novel length. All you're really doing is writing short articles.

 
Let's say you started a car repair blog. What are some topics you could cover?

• Pain free way to change your own oil, and save money!

 
• Tire Safety: How to Spot Problems Before You Hit the Road

 
• Top Ten Tips to Prepping Your Car for Winter Driving Conditions

 
• Avoid Getting Ripped Off By Unscrupulous Mechanics

 
• Used Car Nightmares: How to Spot a 'Lemon' Before Its Too Late, etc.

A lot of people are looking for these various types of information, and you could develop a base of regular readers in some of the ways listed below:

 
1. Syndicate your content. You might have a “Car Tip of the Week” feature, for example. Set your blog to send out a ping for this each week when you post it.

2. Collect subscribers. Set up an opt-in list that your blog readers can subscribe to in order to be alerted to new posts.

3. Get Links from related blogs and related blog rings.

4. Run Contests and Promotions. Let's say you're an affiliate of a company called Stayjid Shine (with a great affiliate program) that sells Yogurt. 

You can work out a Joint Venture with the owner to give out free samples. Note, the 4 tips above holds true for any niche and any blog type you may want to engage in. Not just in the case I'm describing here. Have a lovely day and stay safe.

Automated affiliate blogs are virtually hands-free. Instead of posting content or products by hand, you can set up a special script that will post product images, descriptions and your affiliate links automatically. 

The scripts which accomplish this for you are known as affiliate data feed scripts.

The major affiliate networks, such as Shareasale (http://www.shareasale.com/ ), allow merchants the option of uploading data feeds of all their products.

These feeds are actually just text files which contain a list of their products, specially formatted to be pulled in and displayed by a data feed script.

 As an affiliate, you can find the merchants that have data feeds, join their programs and request data feed access. Once access is granted, you can get the information two ways:

1. Download the information directly in either a txt file or .csv (Excel) file, then post that information selectively (by hand), or by feeding it into an existing script.

2. Set your script up to download the data file directly from the merchant via FTP.

This is the preferred method because most scripts can be set to run periodic updates, checking the feed file for new information, then posting it.

The benefit of running an automated affiliate blog is that you have your own virtual store, in a matter of speaking. Your content creation work is minimized, and you can focus more on getting traffic to the site. 

But the cons or disadvantage of running an automated affiliate site are mostly due to the fact that both live humans and search engines may view your blog as spam.

So, if you choose to set up a blog, I recommend putting a human touch on it. Go in and post some of your own content to break things up, make the site more dynamic and better optimize the site for your keywords.

All the best.
