Blog Marketing --> Hardest part of blogging

[melvin]

Well from my experience the marketing part is really the hardest part in blogging (specifically blogging as a business). Why? Simple, because there are already so many blogs out there w/c makes it imperative for you to give something unique and compelling to them.

Most people still say monetization is the hardest part but I think its not. If you've already got the traffic, loyal readers and traction, the money just kinda goes downhill seriously. With my blog, when it started reaching Alexa 100K and below I started to notice that more and more advertisers are purchasing adspot even when I put a higher rate.

Also the same with product sales. I released my first premium info product last year and to my delight I sold a good no.of copies of it. All in all if bloggers can get a huge following, monetization wouldn't be much of a problem.

For most, good content isn't a problem, competent marketing is! I've always believed that blogging is internet marketing and to be able to succeed you need to know how to market. Trust me, we don't need to look like salespersons to be a good blog marketer.

So my free report

Since last year, I've been working hard on this info product w/c tackles blog marketing and how it can get you loyal readers and high traffic in such a quick pace (depends still on you of course). The report is entitled: "Blog Marketing for Fame" and it's given away FREE for newsletter subscribers. In that free report, I have laid down the exact strategies that I've used to grow my blog to where it is now. So far it has received a good number of positive feed backs (download yours and give your own negative feedback ).

Grab your free copy now! and let me know what you think.

This looks like a good report for beginners (from what I see here and on your site, I have not signed up for it, yet). I think it's important for beginners to take to ebook and reports like this so they are able to read at their lesuire and retain a copy of the report for future information.

I hope you have people taking advantage of your offer.

I have to disagree with you here - all that competition out there means that your content has to be better than other people's content. So I'd say that good content - _better_ content than that produced by, often, hundreds of other people - is indeed a really big problem.

Sure, once you have the content, you'll probably need to do some marketing. But you can't just wave your hand and assume that the content is good enough to beat out the competitors. Odds are, it isn't.
