Simple Blog Promotion and Marketing Tips

So you want to know more about blogging? Well you have come to the right place.




Blogs:

Blogging really relies on one main focus, and that is relevant topics. You need to put out topics that people wan to relate to not matter what that may be. There are billions of internet users searching for unlimited topics. The trick is getting them to find what you are putting out there. Keywords are a very important part of this function. The keywords you choose will aid and direct the searches to your topic. 20 keywords is usually the limit for most sites in order to speed up searches. So it's not about having as many keywords as possible either. It's more about the keywords you choose to represent you. If you are a musician, keywords such as "music, mp3, rock, hip hop, pop, etc.", are crucial.  

Social Networking:

Social networks play another great role in blogging. As you can see below this page is set up to share on several social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. Depending on your following the results will vary. I personally favor Twitter as far as getting my blogs publicized on the web more. The reason is that there are programs called web crawlers that search for keywords or "hash tags" used on Twitter. This increases when your followers retweet as well. Facebook works well too, but as I said before it all depends on your content and following. Keep in mind that people will only be interested if its relevant to their lifestyles.

Consistency:

Being consistent in writing blogs is essential. The more you blog, the more chances you have of your blog being read or looked at. Some people choose to stay on one topic, and that is fine. I choose to write about anything interesting, from music, politics, to real life events. I like to have a broad wide-ranged audience. This also helps me keep track of what topics work better than others. Right now I have nearly 100 blog posts, and just over 25,000 views, with about 5,000 views in just the past month with some extra online promotion I started implementing using the techniques I described. I don't think blogging has to be so complicated. You can blog about almost anything, you can promote yourself, music, brands, headlines, videos, and more. If you have any question please feel free to comment and I will answer when I have time. Thank you for taking the time to read my tips, hope this helps as many people out there as possible.

Best Ways To Make Money Through Google Adsense

Well here is the bottom line about making money with Google Adsense. I'm not going to sit here and say yes it's going to make you rich over-night or promise you dream vacations. The reality of it is yes you can make decent money off of Google Adsense using various outlets such as blogs, Blogger.com is very good and integrates with Adsense very well. Another method I use is Youtube, and through Youtube I can monetize any video I have the rights to. This enables Youtube to add commercials and ads to your video, and when someone clicks you earn money. This is not a Pay Per Click where you have to spend money. The biggest investment you will make on this is time. The more time and effort you put into promoting your blogs or videos, the better results you will get. It doesn't take much but an idea. Look thru my blog and get an idea of what I'm doing. Who knows, you may come up with something great. Good luck!

Here is an Example of a Monetized Video on Youtube, if you don't see the ad or commercial on here then watch it on Youtube. And the blog, well take a look on the sides. It's self explanatory.

Important Mixtape Facts

Why Mixtapes are an Important Marketing Tool

For many years now record labels have looked at mixtape popularity, sales, and now downloads to determine the potential success an up and coming hip hop artist. A great example is 50 Cent, he made a very big name for himself in the hip hop world just by putting out a series of back to back mixtapes. 50 Cent had built such a name for himself by the time his first official album “Get Ready or Die Tryin” dropped that he nearly sold 1 million albums copies in his first week. That is just an example of how mixtapes have been secretly been on the frontline of hip hop record sales.

The mixtape game has evolved so much throughout the years. DJ’s have gone from recording mixes on cassette tapes in the 80’s, thus getting the name “Mixtape”. Then the mixtape game caught up to the CD era in the late 2000’s and DJ’s were able to put their mixes on CD’s, but still it still retained the “Mixtape” name. Now the mixtape game has evolved full scale into the digital generation and now DJ’s and MC’s can now market mixtapes online through the internet and reach a greater amount people on a vast scale.

There is a psychology to the “Mixtape” game. The biggest misconception new DJ’s or artist make is thinking that they are going to make a lot of money off it. There is a potential to make some money but a DJ or artist would have to build their way to that. Do the benefits outweigh the cost? The answer: Absolutely. A well put together mixtape may not make you rich or even close, but the positive exposure can come back more than 5x. What I mean is that for every 1 person that has a copy of your mixtape, he/she will let at least let 5 of their friends listen to it. Now even if the person that is listening to the mixtape is not into your music, they have now heard of you now. My main point to all this is that exposure is the main benefit of a mixtape to any DJ or artist. Many artists invest money into mixtapes just to give away. After all would you pay money to listen to an artist you have never heard before? Most likely not, but they will listen to it for free and if they like it they will opt to by it next time. All artist give out samplers for one reason. It’s the laws of attraction. People want to know that you can give them quality music on a constant basis.
