Image via Wikipedia

If you have a home based business blog you might be looking for ways to generate more traffic to it. More traffic after all will mean more prospects. Here are a few quick tips that not everyone will know about how to generate more traffic to your home business blog.

1. Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is simple. It’s like the bookmarks on your own computer except instead of keeping your favorite websites to yourself you’re bookmarking them for everyone to see. It’s a simple concept that many people just don’t do. Digg is probably the most popular social bookmarking site so you might want to start there but there are literally tons of others. Bookmark your blogs to get more traffic.

2. Keywords in your blog posts

Using keywords is internet marketing 101. However, lots of people use keywords for the tags of their blog posts but not in the actual blog content it’s self. Don’t make this mistake. Keywords are everything online.

3. Keywords in your categories

Along with the content of your blog the categories of your blog posts are a good place to insert some keywords. So instead of “tips” try “work at home online tips” it’s as simple as that.

4. Update regularly

Search engines like it when you update your blog or website regularly. So don’t just post a few times and then forget about it. Update your blog at least once a week to see the best results. Some people even update every day.

5. Pictures

When you post pictures on your blog think about what you name them. Use keywords in the picture names. When people do a google search for images they might come across your image which will lead them to your blog!

6. Choose a good domain name

GregsBlog.com is probably not the best use of a domain name. While it might be easy to remember it’s not going to score you any SEO points. Try something with keyword like “GregsUltimateWorkFromHomeSuccessBlog.com it’s way longer but it will make all the difference in the world.

7. Create videos

Create simple videos that you can post on Youtube and Revver that promote your blog. Even if the video has nothing to do with a home based business just add the title of your blog to the end of the video and watch your blog get way more traffic. You don’t even have to be on the screen sometimes a simple text based video will work just fine.

8. Articles

When using article marketing try sending some traffic to your blog rather than your website or squeeze page.

9. Commenting on other blogs

Find other blogs that have the same niche as yours and start commenting. Comment though, don’t just spam! Spam is annoying and won’t win you any fans.

These are just a few ideas that if you implement will defiantly help you get lots more traffic to your blog and eventually make a whole lot more money!

Google adwords have been a popular way of marketing online for a while. Many people recommend that their team market with this method. Adwords in the hands of someone who knows what they’re doing or someone who has a lot of money to spend can be a great thing.

However, if you don’t know what you’re doing you can waste a lot of money before you even know what hits you! Don’t let that happen to you. Just say no to Google adwords! At least in the beginning of your home based business… trust me you’ll thank me later!

Adwords are a situation of what’s good for one person might not be what’s great for everyone. See, if you have the know how and the funds it really can be a good way to market. I would never suggest that it’s the only thing you do to market your business online however.

When people who are making a ton of money in MLM start telling their team what to do to get successful they often forget what it was like to be a home based business newbie. It’s pretty unrealistic to expect someone who is just getting started to spend hundreds of dollars a month on ads or on expensive lists of leads.

There are so very many free ways to market your business online that spending money on expensive ads almost seems silly, especially in the beginning. Websites like Myspace, Craigslist, Backpage, Twitter, Forums, Youtube, Wordpress blogs, and a whole host of other popular sites will give you lots of prospects if you know how to use them to your advantage.

Finally, you need to know that there are many successful ways to market your home based business online. Google adwords is a good choice just make sure you don’t waste a lot of money and end up getting discouraged. It’s true that in the hands of the home based business newbie Google adwords really can be the home based business killer!

Finding Your Comfort Zone And Getting Out Of It

Believe it or not even if you’re the most confident person you can think of you have a comfort zone. And more often than not that comfort zone can be holding you back from greatness. So it’s important that you find your comfort zone as soon as you can and learn how to get out of it. When you get out of your comfort zone there is no limit to what you can accomplish.

First of all everyone has a different comfort zone. Some people hate talking to strangers while other people don’t mind at all. Some people could sell anything to a stranger but hate trying to sell their friends or family. Whatever your particular comfort zone is it’s important to discover it and then leave it as quickly as you can.

Who knows exactly why we’re afraid to do certain things. Maybe we just care all too much what people really think of us. Maybe we just don’t want to make a mistake. But when you’re trying so hard not to make a mistake you usually don’t take very many chances and that’s a sure fire way to never reach your goals.

Business is all about taking chances, big, giant, sometimes even costly chances. None of the great companies in the U.S. would have been created without people who were willing to step outside of their comfort zone and take some chances. Maybe you’re not trying to invent the next Google or Microsoft but just the same you need to start taking more chances and getting a little uncomfortable if you really want that truly mind blowing, unbelievable success.

Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb… that’s where the fruit is!

Leave your comfort zone behind and start breaking new ground in your home based business. Remember, it’ll only feel uncomfortable until the money comes rolling in!

How To Write A Keyword Article

There is a lot of talk these days about using keyword articles to attract visitors to a website and with the growing use of article marketing, there seems to be some benefit to using this method in a company's marketing plan. There is also some confusion about the use of keywords as well as what they are and what they mean to a website owner.

First of all, keywords are those entered into a search engine by an internet user who is looking for specific information. They may not know exactly what they are looking for but, they know what they want. For example, if a person is looking for home improvement tips about replacing ceramic floor tile, they have the option of entering many different search terms, which really is what keywords are all about.

They may enter the term 'replace ceramic floor' or simply enter 'ceramic floor' and start looking at the search results pages for the information they can use. Terms such as 'replacement floors' or 'replacement ceramics' may also be used and business owners will have no idea what terms the user will look for and when beginning their search most users rarely find what they want on the first few tries. Unless, there is an article somewhere that uses that exact phrase.

Typically, an article will contain a specific search term between four and 12 times, depending on the length of the article and the search time needs to be placed in the article so that the writing remains grammatically correct and the phrase is a natural order as though it belongs there and not used simply to use it. Unfortunately, some websites will use what is termed keyword stuffing, which uses the phrase 30 or 40 times in a four or 500 word article, which is a turn off for the search engines and really offers nothing useful to the web searcher.

Articles need to offer some value to the person conducting the search. If the company that sells replacement ceramic tile can produce a series of articles on the best way to remove the old tile, remove the old glue or cement from the surface, how to prepare the surface for new tile and other areas about the subject, they will provide valuable information that can draw visitors to their site where they may actually buy the tile.

These articles can be published on their own website on pages dedicated to helping potential customers learn how to replace the tile. They can also be published on homeowner remodeling sites as tips for others. One thing that articles cannot do is advise the readers to visit a specific site or a specific business. This is unacceptable to search engines as well as to other web ezine publishers.

All published articles can have an author's biography giving the author credit for the article as well as outline their competence in the subject matter. The block on these articles could talk about their experience level in ceramic tile replacement and the years they have been involved in the business as well as mention they operate a business at the website location, including a hot link.
