5 Super Tips To Startup Blogging

So You've Got A Niche; So Now What? You likely already have your own email address and access to the Web. If you don't have a mailing program, you need one. 

Get a copy at Aweber or Mailchimp. In either program, open a new an account, It's not much, but it's a start. Now the hard part. 

Write a Post. It does not have to be long. It does not have to be profound. It does have to be something of interest to those you have targeted, And it has to be well written. Initially, writing as well as you can must suffice. Improve your skills as necessary as you continue. 

1. Talk about something you already know.
Write just as you would tell a friend about it. Or find something you didn't know, and write about that. Every time you dig in and learn something you didn't know, you expand your expertise. 

And when you explain this new information to others, it will become clearer to you than it was when you started. As you find more, you'll know more. And that's what being expert is all about.
 

2. An Audience Of One
One of the toughest challenges in starting a newsletter is the realization that you are writing only for yourself, and maybe a couple of friends. There is a tendency to kind of let things slide, for nobody is really going to see it. 

The trick is to write as though you have thousands of subscribers hanging on to every word. In short, always produce the best possible copy, and seek to do better next time.

3. Promoting Your Blogs and Business
There are a lot of great ideas about promotion in "Growing Your Subscriber List." It explains how to announce your newsletter, how to promote it through ezine directories, and it includes references to other good ideas. So check it out. In what follows, the focus is on other things you can do. 

Without a website, you can't offer to swap links. But you can offer to run an ad in exchange for a link to your subscription routine. And you can swap ads with other newsletters just getting started. Build a great signature file that offers your free newsletter. 

Try something like: Click Here Most mailing software will send you a message when this is clicked with SUBSCRIBE as the subject.

4. Get Aggressive
Go down and talk to a real live person at your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Most offer a small amount of disk space free for non-commercial use. You don't have to say you're trying to build a business. Just explain you're starting a newsletter. No advertising. 

 Just content. Chances are they'll let you put up a page with a subscription form on it. Go to Goarticles or Ezinarticles For Content, Then Go to listwire or sendfree and grab a form, post it, and you're almost in business. You now have a small platform from which to extol the virtues of your Blog. And you can refer people to this URL in your newsletter and signature file.

5. Looking Ahead
Keep all your articles. When you do build a website, put them up as pages. Since they are focused on your niche, some will rank well on the search engines, and begin drawing traffic to your new site almost immediately. Begin even now trying to find a great domain name. 

And when you find one, even if you can't afford a site, buy it. Good names are hard to find and they are disappearing rapidly. Go ahead and open a site as soon as you have a great domain name and a few articles. Godaddy.Com may be the perfect answer. They provide top quality services per month or year.

But Where's The Profit?
Even before you have a site, search the Web for products you can sell. If you're into cabinetry, find sources of wood, plans, and finished product. What you want are products that can be drop shipped. That is, you take an order, keep a part for yourself, forward the balance, and the company delivers. It's not a way to get rich, but it's a great way to start. 

Forget about a merchant account initially. In general, affiliate programs may not bring grand profits, but even small amounts are helpful initially. In all this you are not really looking for significant profits. You are simply learning about doing business online. And there is a lot to learn. 

Getting your site right. Writing compelling copy that sells. Search engine positioning. Advertising. And there's more.

So What's Really Happening Here?
Your major focus remains your Blog and List. You continue working to grow it. And you continue improving your writing skills. Most important, you continue to build your credibility and expertise, and your position within your niche. One of the dumbest things to put up on a site is a silly claim as to how great an expert I am. 

Nobody will believe it. Yet they absolutely *must* before they will buy from you. You solved this dilemma beautifully with your Blog. In it, you have shown your expertise and demonstrated your credibility with practical, useful information. 

And you have established your position within your niche by providing information and resources which may not be readily available elsewhere. Stay safe and Have a splendid day.

6. Dropshipping

This is one of the new business ideas in Nigeria. It is a form of business that you can start with very low capital. What you need is your laptop or smartphone, internet data, and your social media platforms e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. ( which could serve as your online shop or space). Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn't keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product using the dropshipping model, it purchases the item from a third party and has it shipped directly to the customer. a vendor fulfills orders from a third party and has them ship directly to the customer. ... The vendor usually pays for the item at a discount by working directly with a manufacturer or wholesaler; their profit comes from the difference in the initial item cost and whatever price they sell it at. The hazards here includes high shipping costs, low profit margins, and little quality control. And, while you may travel anywhere you like as a dropshipping merchant, you may find that you don't have the resources to do so quite as quickly (or as easily) as you expect. This is a lucrative business idea. The secret of this business is identifying and knowing what the people need at the particular moment and knowing where and how to source for those items ( Amazon or AliExpress is a good place to start dropshipping business). Good luck in all your business endeavors. Have a nice day.
