Get Your Blog Off The Ground With A Schedule!
One of the important steps to successful blogging is to create valuable content on a regular basis. When you do that, you’ll attract more traffic to your blog and establish yourself as a leader. Here’s why:
1) Your readers will realise that your blog is a source of valuable information and practical solutions to their problems and keep coming back for more.
2) Search engines such as Google, are always looking for the freshest, most relevant content to show in the search results. The more you create content for your blog, the better chance you stand of getting it recognised by the search engines.
Simply put, regular quality content on your blog means increased traffic and more money in your pocket!
To achieve this, you need to create a blogging schedule that you’ll stick to in order to turn your blog into a cash generating platform. Isn’t this obvious?
Sadly not. I come across a lot of bloggers who are not seeing any significant results with blogging and when I look at their blogs I see that they are not consistent with writing their posts. What do I mean?
1) Some write a post once in a while, like once in two months or so,
2) Some write posts for several consecutive days then struggle to maintain the pattern,
3) Some have completely abandoned their blogs, not adding any content but still promoting them.
Now, these bloggers have one thing in common — they are hoping for some traffic to come their way and turn that traffic into profits. How can that be? Are they consistent? Nope!
If you are really serious about blogging and want to turn your blog into a source of decent income, then create a schedule right after reading this post. Don’t put it off any minute, otherwise it will never happen. Make a commitment to do it and put it on paper.
So, how often should you write posts then? I hear you ask… Glad you asked as this is one of the common questions I get from new bloggers.
The key is to develop a blogging schedule that is line with your circumstances and goals. There would be no point in aiming for two posts daily and fail to achieve that due to your other commitments. I personally recommend 2-3 quality posts a week. When my blog was still new, I used to produce up to 5 posts a week and now I write at least 2 posts a week without fail.
My publishing days are Mondays and Fridays. I would then publish a bonus post on a Wednesday. I have maintained this routine for a long time now and I am so used to it. So used to it, that I don’t even need a reminder 
Now, the other thing that bloggers struggle with is the writer’s block. In fact this is what makes it difficult for many people to have a blogging schedule and actually stick to it. If you are one of those bloggers, fret no more! See my previous post on Blogging – How To Get Rid Of The Writer’s Block.
Here are some key points that will help you to kick-start your new blogging routine:
1) It all starts with planning. Make time for blogging and add it to your current schedule. How you do this will depend mostly on how important blogging is for you and what you want to achieve with your blog.
2) Choose the exact days that you want to publish on rather than being all over the place with your posts.
3) Keep a list of ideas for your future posts running. There is always something to write about!
4) Don’t put yourself under pressure to generate new content. Plan ahead. I always have draft posts ready to be published. Having your posts ready before the actual publishing day also works well.
5) Review your blogging schedule and make necessary adjustments to suit your circumstances and objectives. Remember it’s all about quality than quantity. Your goal should be to create current and quality content in a consistent manner.
If at any given time, you have a downtime on your blog, i.e. a long period of time without adding new content, then you’ll lose your readers and potential income! People will simply not return to your blog and will search for other good blogs instead.

Got Leads?
Today, I would like to introduce you to my guest author, Lena Bjorna – my personal mentor and a top internet marketer.
With Lena Bjorna at a marketing event - Oslo, Norway
Lena uses very effective lead generation strategies, which she also teaches her team to use. I am confident that you’re going to find today’s post very informative and helpful… And it’s entitled “Got Leads?”
Get A Flood Of Targeted Leads For Your Business!
Everyone’s always complaining that they aren’t generating enough leads for their online businesses…
So am I taking issue with that? Isn’t lead generation important?
Well, of course it is. Leads, as all of us marketers know, are the fuel for our marketing engines.
However…lead generation means nothing if you don’t know how to convert those leads into customers and sales for your MLM business!
The Two Skill Sets You Must Master To Succeed With Internet Marketing
Successful online marketing is about TWO things.
1. Generate leads.
2. Get the leads to convert into sales.
Miss one of the two, and you’re DONE. You’ll soon find yourself buried in the Internet graveyard, with wasted time and ad dollars left as your only legacy.
Okay. So how do you best go about each of the two? 1. Generating MLM leads, and 2. Getting the leads to convert into sales?
Well, in order to generate sufficient leads for your online business, you’ll want to use some form of direct response marketing.
Examples of direct response strategies would be pay-per-click — either on Google, Yahoo, Bing, or (the very latest) Facebook PPC.
Another example would be paid media. My favorite paid media method is banner ads, which by the way, you can do quite inexpensively and generate heaps of leads with very quickly.
How To Get A Flood Of Targeted Leads For Your MLM Business
We call the above methods “direct response” because you are simply responding to your prospective customers’ needs.
They are already out there actively looking for you. Not by name, obviously, but they are typing in actual keywords that pertain to your offer. Or at the very least they are on a web site reading about something pertinent to your offer.
And voila, there you are with your banner or text ad, announcing that “Here it is. Here is the answer to all your troubles.”
Do you see how powerful that is? You are simply placing yourself in front of those who are already looking for what you have to offer!
And the following you can write down in red, highlight and underline: As a new marketer, you must have some sort of direct response marketing strategy in place to produce sufficient leads for your internet marketing business.
Social media marketing or content advertising just ain’t gonna do it. You aren’t consistently going to generate 30+ leads a day for your online business writing articles or press releases, shooting videos, or interacting with people on Twitter.
(Sorry if I’m stepping on someone’s toes here, but I’m just saying it as it is.)
And 30 highly targeted MLM leads per day is the very least that you require in order to see consistent growth in your business.
Are You Just Wasting Your Time With Social Media? Here’s How To Do It Right…
So, then, is there any use at all in social media? In shooting videos, and writing articles and blog posts?
Much in every way. But it’s probably not what you have been led to believe.
What these strategies are primarily meant to do, is help convert your traffic into customers and reps/members for your MLM business.
When your prospects google your name (which people do, believe me!), you’ll want them to actually find something. Something of value. Some content that you have created (or outsourced), which helps builds trust and establish you as an expert. A leader.
Because – and this really is Attraction Marketing 101 – we all prefer to buy from and work with those that we like, trust, and whose opinions we value.
And your task is to make your prospects feel that way about you!
If You Don’t Want To Wait Months To Make Money In Your MLM…
The added benefit of content advertising and social media marketing (although not their main purpose) is that they, over time, also serve to generate quality traffic for your MLM or internet marketing business.
But yes, it does take time. “Time” as in, well…likely several months.
And my guess is that you probably don’t want to wait months to make money in network marketing!
Therefore, my advice to you is to pick a direct response marketing strategy that fits your budget and your overall marketing plan, so that you can get the lead flow you need from early on.
And at the same time, start to work on building trust and establishing credibility through your online presence by consistently publishing new content and making yourself known on the social networks.

Which Blog Commenting System Should You Use?
Commenting on blogs offer many different benefits such as building inbound links to your blog, interacting with other bloggers, promoting yourself as an authority or expert on a given topic and more. In fact, a blog without comments is useless — harsh but true.
Google is now factoring ACTIVITY more heavily in their rankings. Content and links may get you temporary rankings, but if you want to move up in the rankings faster and stay there longer, then you need to encourage activities which include comments. Read more about this here: Blogging Tips – 3 Primary Steps To Higher Rankings.
Blog commenting is extremely important for bloggers — we always appreciate visits and comments left on our blogs as well as the link love from other bloggers. Therefore, a commenting system plays an important role as well.
