What To Talk About On Your Blog

Posted on May 11, 2011 by Chris And Susan

You’ve set up your blog website and now you want to start attracting visitors but you have no content on “your blog” and you’re not sure what to write about.

People come to blogs to receive regular updates as well as in-depth coverage of specific topics.  The topics covered should be related to the niche you are working in.  They should be interesting and entertaining and help you to build a relationship with your “fans”.

Here are our top tips to help you get started and we will be talking about “internet marketing” as the niche in this example.

Talk about your own experiences

Talk about your experiences as an internet marketer – maybe you are a “newbie” so talk about your journey in internet marketing.  This will definitely attract other people who are looking to get started. 

Tools you use in your business

Talk about the tools and software you use in your business – show how it is helping you. Why not record a  ‘behind the scenes’ or “how to” video using Jing, Camtasia or Screenflow (for the Mac)

Here’s a video we recorded on how to use Twitter Feed

Books you have read

Share your opinion on books you have read and would recommend.  You can even quote from the book and explain what it meant to you.  Include an image which will also make your blog post look more interesting.

“Why is it that some people make dream after dream come true, while others just continue dreaming and spend their lives building dreams for someone else? One simple reason, those that are “successful” have found their SLIGHT EDGE!”

Reviews of Products or Services

Products that you have bought (or know to be of high quality) that have helped to educate you, automate your business or simply made you money.

You might record a video, write a review and of course have a link to the product so that others can buy it (if you have an affiliate link then should your visitor buy through your recommendation you will get a commission from this)

For example, we use a great resource for turning articles into videos which helps generate additional traffic to your website so we wrote a review with a link to buy the software – the blog post was How to Turn Your Articles into Videos

Articles you have Written

Your blog is a great place to publish articles you have written yourself or articles written by others which you can take excerpts from and comment on (don’t forget the author’s credit please)

Here’s an example of one we published on our blog wayback http://winwithchrisandsusan.com/a-six-figure-business/ note the link back to Ezine Articles where visitors can then see the article in full and view other articles you have written.

Latest industry news

Latest industry news (internet marketing in this example) that may be of interest to them.  Here’s a website we subscribe to for social media updates –  Social Media Examiner

Here’s their latest update on how to improve your blog with images “19 Ways to Use Images to Enhance your Blog”

Links Back to Your Own Blogs

If you are commenting on a book or a video you may already have written a blog post about it previously – make sure you refer back to it and link back to that blog post.

For example if we were talking about video marketing we might say here is an article we wrote last month “Using Video for Your Online Business Marketing“ and hyperlink it to make it easy for the visitor to see it there and then!

Tips and Tactics

Tips and tactics for getting things done .  These can be based on your own experiences or those of others.  If you have found them valuable then others will too.

Here is an example of a blog post we wrote about Seminar Success. This was based on the experience of someone who we know and believed it valuable to share with our blog visitors.

Links to helpful videos

Share videos you have found or produced yourself that may be useful to your niche audience.  YouTube is a huge source of information for sharing.  In the internet marketing niche there are thousands of video from ‘how to‘ to ‘mindset and personal development‘.


Modelling Others

Modelling (copying) what other successful people in your niche do – don’t plagerise but rather leverage on the information – comment and reference.

The most popular blog posts and top stories of some of the best internet marketers and internet resource sites can be found here at http://Alltop.com

We hope you found this really useful to get you started – please leave us a comment and share with others

Seminar Success

Posted on May 10, 2011 by Chris And Susan

The Point At Which Your Life Will Change

We received an email this morning from our good friend  Andy Shaw of “A Bug Free Mind” and wanted to share it with you because actually there is no better way to say it and he should know – he’s the expert here!

” If there is one place I see success inspired most, it is at seminars.

Being in with the circle of successful people I get to  work and chat with, I always manage to turn the conversation to how they became successful. And guess what? The vast majority of people say their success and their main life’s turning point going from ‘normal’ to  a success occurred… at a seminar! There are some pretty illustrious names, like Andrew Reynolds, Mark Anastasi,  Simon Coulson to name but a few.

So why exactly is that?

Simple, you are placing yourself in the environment designed to create success. You are open to new ideas and opportunities because you are relaxed and have interrupted your pattern. You are not under pressure to produce work or anything, you are just with people who are attempting to change their lives for the better.

This means your mind is free and the constant noise in your head quietens down a fair bit… thus allowing space for your sub-conscious mind to speak to you. However, don’t get your hopes up as this doesn’t happen for everyone. Because most people who attend seminars are desperate for change – which is exactly the wrong way to do it!

That isn’t how to extract value from a seminar or from your subconscious mind. You extract the value by being prepared to… ‘just see what happens’. It is about being
open-minded. You are expecting something, you are just not ‘needing’ it to happen. Expectation without need unleashes the power of your subconscious mind… This is
exactly how to find your success and it is the point at which your life ‘will’ change…

Here’s a tool to use before going to a seminar…

You prepare yourself a few days before the seminar and then every day, especially the days of the seminar, simply by asking the following question to yourself.
When you ask the question you must talk to yourself as if you are speaking to a 4 year old who is your partner in this – forget the age difference, just remember your
partner is a small child…

“We’re going to a seminar next week, this is where I  will learn about alternative directions we can go in life. What we’re looking for is a way to achieve our
dreams and enjoy life more. I don’t know what we will find there and we are just going to look, but I know if  I can help others when I’m there that I’ll be shown the
way forward either there or soon after. If you could help me by looking at ways in which some of the things  we learn may help us and then just let me know what you
thinks right for us then that would be great, thank you  :-)”

Now if you should be going to a seminar you should give this a go. Have no expectation of anything in particular, just that you will benefit somehow, just  KNOW that you will benefit and then relax and see what happens…

Because this is how you create it; this is how you bring about the point at which your life changes.

I’ve just given you the tool which all the now successful people who found their success once used… but they used it without knowing they used it, in fact  they still don’t know they used it. However, you can now use it on purpose.

Don’t expect a seminar to be the answer to your problems. Just KNOW that something good will come out of it, and then see what happens… If you ‘need’ it to happen then you may as well not attend, as you have to  expect something good without needing it”

By Andy Shaw

See you at a seminar soon …..
