Best Web Hosting Tips for Blogging

Let’s explore becoming a blogger and the proper use of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn advertising on your blog and website. Facebook and Twitter have very specific instructions for using their logos, but it seems that on the Internet, very few people are following those guidelines. If you have any questions, you should ask your attorney. Having said that, there are common practices that webmasters and bloggers are using to promote their brand on these social media sites. It is not legal to take someone else’s brand and alter it. But the Twitter and Facebook logo are everywhere and that is what has made these social media sites so famous. Facebook and Twitter both have trademarks on their logo and their iconography. For example, Twitter’s trademark is the little blue bird. They have their name and logo trademarked, therefore, you can not alter them. Their guidelines are important so pay attention to those guidelines in relation to their name and logo allowed use. Legall...

My Favorite Platforms For Smaller Internet Marketing Sites

No discussion of commercial website design would be complete without mentioning blogs like Blogger and WordPress. Blogger is a free web publishing tool from Google. It’s really a blog. What I like about Blogger is its ease of use. Next to more Web 2.0 type sites like Squidoo and Hubpages, I think Blogger is great for beginning internet marketers. WordPress makes open-source, free blogging software. WordPress is easy to use and is essentially the gold standard for serious blogs. I would venture to bet that most of the top blogs out there that are custom made use WordPress’ software. With Blogger you don’t have to have your own hosting. With WordPress you have to have your own web hosting account. Other than that, it’s super easy! To start a Blogger blog, just go to their site (Google “Blogger”) and follow the instructions. You can use Blogger in a number of commerce friendly ways. I usually just put up a few pages about a niche I’m interested in ...

Book Review: How To Make Money Blogging By Bob Lotich

Bob Lotich offers some excellent information in his e-book, How to make Money Blogging . I especially like that he has tried his suggestions, and has had proven success, prior to writing this book. I’ve been blogging since 2011 and I’m still learning. One of the main things, according to Lotich (and I see why), is that a blogger must be open to learning new things. This e-book is a bit short, but contains a lot of valuable information. Lotich writes in a short and direct manner, which I happen to like, especially when reading books like this. Lotich also offers a Blogging 101 course for those who are new to running a WordPress blog. He also gives the basic first steps on how to start a blog, including finding a domain name, finding a web hosting package, and installing WordPress. Lotich offers great advice through his personal, relevant, and honest experiences and opinions. He gives actual websites to help a new (or seasoned) blogger in several areas. He explains the informa...

Blogger Vs WordPress

Quality The quality of both WordPress and Blogger are exceptional. Each blogging platform has good up-time stats and each blogging platform is designed to display properly in all web browsers. Again, Blogger and WordPress are both good platforms to choose whether you are starting out, or you are an experienced blogger. There are a few more options if you use WordPress, but I’ll explain later. The quality of both blogging platforms are equal, however, if you need help or need to contact customer service, both Blogger and WordPress fail. I have needed to contact both blogging platforms before, and both services are extremely un-helpful. WordPress has a resource where you can contact customer service through email, but I have never received replies. Google however, does not have any contact information, but they have user discussion forms. And often times my questions have been answered by other members of those forms. Never directly by Google Blogger. User friendly Many people disag...

How to Make Money Online - Be a Blogger

Blogging is probably one of the least complicated ways to start making money online. All you have to do is head over to blogger and set up your very own blog. It can be on any topic you choose. One thing I always tell people when they are first starting to blog is to blog about topics they know and understand. This makes it easy for you to constantly add new content to your blog. And when you constantly add new content to your blog you keep people and the search engines coming back to your site often. In the long run all of this will equal more money in your pocket. How Exactly Do You Make Money From Your Blog The easy answer to this is by placing advertisement on your blog. You can go sign up with Google AdSense and every time someone clicks on one of your links, you will get paid. Some people make thousands and thousands and month from Google AdSense alone. I also encourage you to make money by referring your readers to other products or services. In this instance you would be known ...

Why I Became a WordPress Blogger

Until recently I have always favoured the free Blogger program provided by Google at blogspot.com over other methods of blogging. Why? Because it is so easy to set up and use, and monetize. However, Blogger has it’s limitations. The most signifcant of which is that you don’t own your blog so you cannot sell it if you want to. And you may want to sell it at some point if it becomes valuable because of the amount of income it is generating. It is possible to register your own domain name and host a Blogger blog on this domain but I found this technically more complex to set up. I have always been reluctant to take the journey into WordPress blogging because earlier versions seemed so confusing especially when it came to attempting changes to the setup. It is possible to set up a free blog at wordpress.com but, as best I can recall, there are limits on using the blog for advertising and therefore a limit on what you can earn with it. All the blog aficionados recommend using Wor...

Why You Shouldn't Be a Blogger

These days, blogging services like Google Blogger and WordPress are advertising their simplicity and ease of use. They say you can create a blog in 3 steps and 5 minutes. If it’s so fast and simple, anyone can be a blogger, right? Well, no. Words such as these are very misleading. It probably doesn’t occur to many people that maintaining a blog is far more complicated and time-consuming than the creation process. I know it didn’t occur to me. Being a blogger is a big commitment, and you need to know what you’re getting yourself into before you jump on the bandwagon. That’s why in this article I’m going to give you 3 reasons why you shouldn’t be a blogger. 1. You’re not determined Determination is success. When you really want something, you’re probably going to make a big effort and take all the time you need to get it–that is, if you’re a determined person. Blogging is more than just creating new ideas and turning thos...
