There are so many themes available at no charge for your WordPress blog that it can be overwhelming to choose. In almost all theme indexes you can narrow down your choices by choosing:

how many columns you want
your basic color scheme
fixed or fluid width
if plugins are required
if it’s widget ready
if it has an options page
if it has rounded corners
if the sidebar is on the left or right

You can check any of these options to narrow your search but if you don’t know what you want you can leave the options unchecked and every theme in that category will be displayed. If you are starting your blog from scratch, just pick the theme you like the best.

If you already have a WordPress blog and are changing themes you need to look for a compatible theme unless you are willing to make it compatible. If you know some basic HTML or PHP it isn’t difficult to make your new theme compatible with the old. If your new theme has the same features as your old theme you won’t need to do much.

Let’s talk about columns first. You can choose from 1-column, 2-column, 3-column, and 4-column themes. If you want people to be able to subscribe to your blog or see a list of your pages or almost anything other than a post, you need at least two columns. This will provide you with the main posting area and a sidebar as well as the header and footer. If you want to incorporate a lot of ’stuff’ in your blog page you might want a 3 or 4 column theme. This is particularly good if you are going to put AdSense on your blog.

There is a wide array of colors to choose from and I don’t usually specify a certain color unless I absolutely know the color scheme I want. You will get many ideas by seeing many color schemes.

When you have made your decision about your search criteria you will usually see a button marked ‘Show’ or ‘Go’. Click that button and your themes will appear with a thumbnail of the theme. These are difficult to see but you will get an overall idea of what it will look like. Now you can go through the themes and if there is one that you want to see, just click on the ‘Test Drive’ button. This will make the theme a full page so you can see exactly what it looks like.

When you find your theme, or even several that you like, you can click on download to download them to your computer. There will generally be instructions on where to put the various components of your theme when you upload it to your site.

After your theme is uploaded go to your blog’s admin area and click on ‘Presentation’. Your current theme will be listed first and the other themes you have available will be listed after that. Simply click on the theme you want an it will become your current theme.

Choosing your WordPress theme is the most difficult part of the entire process because there are so many to see. Installing it and making it your current theme are as simple as can be.

Now - start looking at themes and pick the one you like!

Blogging is easy, blogging is fun. And what’s more…it can help your business in a lot of ways. A blog is a frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and web links in the cyberspace. You could call it an e-diary where you can register your thoughts, opinion and comments on anything and everything under the sun that interests you. Though people had been ‘at it’ long before the term blog was coined; it has gained currency as an effective medium of communicating over the Internet only recently. The introduction of automated published software like “Blogger” at www.blogger.com has been instrumental in blogging success. A blog or a weblog’ is conceptually similar to a website and is accessible to anyone on the Internet.

There are millions of bloggers in the world today blogging away to glory. But blogging can be more than just chatter in the cyberspace. It can be a great tool for boosting your online business’s profitability once you’ve understood how it works and what are its limitations. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weblog#Corporate for some more information.

There is a Chinese saying, “ It’s a wise man who learns from others’ mistakes”. Read others blogs to see what works and what doesn’t, what are their writing styles etc. It’s a great way to teach yourself and fun too…. you are learning on some one else’s expense.

Guidelines for the greenhorn blogger

Here are some simple guidelines for a newbie blogger. Take a chance with these to increase your chances of success.

Get Blogging: Like I said earlier, the best way to learn blogging is to start blogging.
Recognize your motivation: Why are you blogging? What do you hope to achieve?
Link to other blogs: the best way to popularise your blog is to link to other blogs. So link you must!
Develop a unique style of writing: Developing a writing style is an evolutionary process. Try different approaches and formats until you find one that fits your message, audience, and personal motivations.
Express your personality… let your humour, your perspective on life, and your values shine in your writing.
Be regular with your posting: readers will quickly wander away from blogs that are not updated regularly. So this is very important.

How to profit from Blogging?

Now that you have understood what a blog is and how to get blogging, its time to make it pay. Blogging is a great way to enhance your online company’s bottomline. It is a popular and an easy medium and has potential of reaching millions.

Here are some tips for you to turn blogging into a serious profitable strategy.

1. Customer Interaction: A blog is a good means to keep in touch with your customers regularly. You can keep them updated on new events, happening in your company, new products and services and other developments. the best part is that you can do it more cost effectively and in much less time than other methods like newsletters, customer updates and customer meetings. The elements of interactivity, community and collaboration are key here. Your blog can also serve as a platform for advertising, promotion and even internal communications. One well-known business example is software company Macromedia’s use of blogging to keep customers updated on what’s happening with its products.

2. Query management: With a blog you can receive and answer to customer queries more quickly than an email. For potential customers it is very important to have a sharp turnaround and you can do that easily with a blog.

3. Link to other sites: Linking your blog to other similar, but not competing, sites is a great way to get some free publicity and traffic for your online business. It is also one big reason why Search Engines will grab your site in their result pages. Ask any online entrepreneur what getting quality traffic to a website means and you’ll know what I am talking about.

4. Get Feedback: Getting feedback from your customers on your products and services, on your company practices and other things is one of the most valuable resources you can build. With a blog, it is not just easier but also time saving for customers to leave feedback for you without filling complicated and mile long forms.

5. Get Google to work for you: Selling ad space is one of the most popular revenue streams for online businesses. With Google’s free AdSense service it just got easier www.google.com/adsense. AdSense allows bloggers to display up to three content-specific “ad units” (boxes that can hold up to four ads each) per page. Each time a visitor clicks these ads, you get paid. Need more convincing?

6. Become an affiliate: Your blog can become a cash cow by using the simple idea of becoming an affiliate for other websites. An affiliate basically carries a link to the other site and each time some one clicks on that link, you get a small commission for it.

7. Donations: If you are running a blog that people love to read and keep coming back in hordes, why not ask them for some monetary appreciation?

Put on your thinking cap and let your imagination run unbridled. You will surprise yourself with the number of ideas that will make your blog less of a personal e-diary and more of a digital cash cow. Blogging is a relatively new marketing arena for webpreneurs, but has immense possibility and potential. Be sure to get on to the bandwagon early in the game and reap your benefits later.

Do you Squidoo? Do you create free traffic using Squidoo lenses?

Seth Godin started the Original Squid almost ten years ago.

He created Yoyodyne, and for the first time introduces the idea if permission marketing online.
Yoyodine was acquired by Yahoo, Seth served as VP Direct Marketing for Yahoo for an year and since 2000 Seth Godin dedicated himself as a public speaker, an author and a blogger.

Among others, he wrote an eBook about traffic in which he introduce a term I like “deserved traffic” which is coming from content. Yes, content is the king.

With the technology and software packages we have today is easy to build web pages, but we really need web pages which attract traffic. The eternal question: how do I get more traffic?

Seth Godin advice is we need the 3 Us:

useful
updated
unique.

Whatever you create, a lens, a blog, a website, you are responsible for the 3 Us and this is the long term solution for getting traffic which is the same as having quality content.

Search engines have sophisticated algorithms, they change frequently without any notice to the public at large. Some people invest a lot of time, work, and energy trying to trick the search engines, it is possible to do so, but it isn’t a long term solution.

What happened in July 2006 when Google decided to change the landing page algorithm to rank web sites was a lesson for all of us. It was painful for a lot of people who lost a good Google ranking over the night.

Google is on a mission to build a better web, and that action was a huge step in the right direction, a loud cry for quality pages! That was the Google way to clean up the web, to make invisible pages which are not useful, nobody update them and have information which are not unique in nature. With other words pages without content.

Prior to July 2006 I used Pay Per Click (PPC) to drive traffic, since that day of infamy I begin to explore Social Bookmark which can produce free traffic for me.

My favorite technique is to create Squidoo lenses in which I have links to my web sites, my eBay auctions, RSS modules, Amazon modules and a lot of interaction with the pubic interested in my topics via plexo modules.

Squidoo is a platform that lets anyone build a web page (called lens) about any topic which interest you, free, and in just a few minutes. It is confusing for the beginning, but you can define a lens as your viewpoint on a topic. Lenses focus attention, drive clicks and even earn royalties.

The secret is - your lens must be noticed by the public and if you have good content they will. Why, because:

they are useful
frequently updated and
contains your unique expertize, point of view.

The successful lenses, as the successful web sites, are the ones which follow Seth Godins 3 Us rules.

I heard a lot of comments about how much you have to work on your lenses to continue improve and update them. The answer is yes and no! I hope you don’t expect to improve the visibility of your work doing nothing!

If you use proper techniques you can create lenses with dynamic allocation. Example, you can use:

RSS module which change content at 6 hours
create a gallery of pictures with Flickr, all the time when you add a new picture in Flickr the change will be propagated in your lens which use that Flickr
Amazon modules
voting using plexo modules
eBay modules which change when an item is ended or you add a new item

All of those will refresh your content daily and in top of that when you have something new to say, yes, you will update your lens content.

I am very comfortable with Squidoo lenses and the traffic I generate for my personals links I put on them: my web sites, blogs etc. I really love Squidoo lenses, I have a lot of fun doing them, but I am an open mind and I use other sources to drive traffic other Social Bookmark techniques.
I use:

StumbleUpon
YouTube
del.icio.us
Digg
Onlywise and so on.

Well, it is possible to create traffic without spending money with PPC. The content of your web sites, blogs, lenses, is the most important driving force for traffic, social bookmark is the second important technique you can use to generate free traffic, and always follow the rule of the 3 Us: useful, updated, unique.

Until the next time, all the best for you

Let’s face the facts!

Almost everyone online today is looking to make or save a buck any way they can. In the past, most of the people who clicked on your affiliate links used to purchase without a second thought… but, as times get tougher online, it seems a growing number won’t!

As money gets tighter and product prices rise, people who know how to manipulate the system will sometimes replace your affiliate ID with theirs and “hijack” your commissions.

To profit by blogging is an elusive quest for some. But some proven techniques work for a lot of bloggers. Learning strategies could be your key to profit. Knowledge is power.

Some of these techniques you may have thought of, but some you may not have. Here are a few of the more unorthodox ways to profit by blogging:

(1). Flipping Blogs

Same as flipping websites. You can flip blogs and make some pretty serious cash. You set it up, start traffic building to get an audience, and in a few months, sell it while it’s in a position to generate some good cash for someone who’s looking. Keep good stats and do some good advertising, and you can actually profit from the hundreds up into the thousands.

(2). Donations

Many bloggers nowadays leave a message on their blog asking for donations. This is an excellent idea, and if the website provides a good service, this is entirely proper.

(3). Business Blogs

Almost any company, or any organization has a blog in today’s world. The use of blogs to get their message out is a huge boost to their profits. Some hire bloggers to run these sites for them. If you can run a good blog, you may consider applying to a company for running one for them. (more…)

Whilst it is fairly easy to get a blog up & running, making decent money from it is another matter entirely and something that remains elusive for most of the blogging community.

So if you want to set up a blog that has the legs to generate a more than decent income, then read the following 5 things to ensure that your blog is an online money maker…

Can you make a decent income by Blogging? Well if you consider an annual 5 figure income decent then it is a totally attainable figure for your money making blog. However, don’t be fooled it doesn’t come easily as it does require some work but for someone working full time and effectively on their blog they could easily generate well in excess of $1000 a day.
What Skills or Talents Are Required to Create a Successful Money Making Blog? As the barriers to starting & creating a blog are a;most non existent, many people have started blogging & have hoped to generate a wealth of income from them, but have failed dismally in the cash generating area. So why is this you may ask. Well for starters to be successful at monetizing your blog there are a few factors that can influence this but the number one factor is intelligence - or web savvyness, ie. to be successful at blogging you need to be fairly web savvy above all else. What this means is that you need to have a good sense of knowing what will make money & generate interest on the net and how to present your blog to capture & monetize this demand. If you don’t think you are web savvy enough you could do a lot of reading & learning to become web savvy but if you don’t think you have what it takes to achieve this, don’t be disappointed if your blogging exploits amount to nothing in terms of income generation.
What Do You Blog About? This is a fairly crucial decision that you need to make before starting your blog because if your blog’s topic is not popular enough you may not generate enough interest or traffic to generate more than a few dollars a month. So you need to have a topic for which there is sufficient demand & interest for it to be worthwhile in terms of monetizing it.
Can You Have Multiple Streams of Income on Your Blog? It’s a good idea not to have all your eggs in one basket so having multiple streams of income options on your blog is not a bad idea. Some blogs can have as many as six different streams of income made of advertisements, products, for sale, donations etc.
What Is the Cost of Blogging? Blogging and setting up a blog is really cheap. There are some free blog set up options, but if you want to use your own domain name that will be a cost as well as web hosting which could be as less than $5 a month.

One of the best things about earning a living from blogging is not only the unlimited earning potential it provides, but the freedom it brings - you can set up your blogging business from home and work when you want - it’s hugely rewarding & fun at the same time.

So start blogging & make sure you’re one of the few who makes a six figure living from it.
