Lesson 2 Monetizing Your Blog with Direct Response Marketing Strategy
Monetizing Your Blog is the Most Important Aspect
If you don’t do a good job monetizing your blog using direct response marketing strategy, your blog (however pretty and “guru”) just won’t make you any money.
Assuming your here to learn how to actually use a simple blog and facebook to build your business, monetizing your blog should be done asap. Here’s how we do it:
HOW TO MONETIZE YOUR BLOG WITH DIRECT RESPONSE
1. Don’t be afraid to use a CALL TO ACTION transition inside of every single blog post you make. Even if it’s just a subtle reminder and link or invite to a recorded hangout or more info on your fan page on facebook. Make a call to action transition every time.
2. Use strategic “real estate” on your blog to generate leads, build your list and get people flowing through your sales process. Banners framing your blog’s theme and content is how you use indirect response style marketing to help you monetize and list build.
3. Keep your blog simple. Don’t make it look like a flea market. Don’t go overboard with banners. Remember, you can use a couple of high converting banner offers and “inside post calls to action” to build your list. In your follow up emails you can invite your leads to review different offers if you wish. This keeps your blog clean and free of “spam clutter.”
4. Use VIDEO and IMAGES on your blog to increase the amount of time people spend on it. This is very important to increasing your www.Alexa.com ranking and ultimately getting and keeping more traffic on your blog.
5. Use your business page on facebook as a “blog” and take advantage of the platform. Facebook is the #1 traffic ranked site on alexa.com right now as they moved ahead of the all mighty, google! Facebook gets and keeps more traffic than even GOOGLE! Use them.
6. SYNDICATE YOUR BLOG! If nobody can find your blog content, it can’t monetize. There are fast, proven and simple strategies we show you to inject POWER into your syndication. Proactively use the social networks to drive traffic to every single blog post.
Most people IGNORE effective syndication and put too much reliance on “fake tribes” that end up being worthless. You need REAL traffic, not fake tribal traffic. We teach you the difference and how to avoid the traps.
I use my business page on facebook as a blog.
You can tap into the massive amounts of facebook traffic easily by:
a.) Networking to generate free traffic and leads from facebook.
b.) Advertising on Facebook. You can promote posts and create PPC targeted post ads for more exposure and proactively drive traffic from facebook to your page and offers. You can then direct them to your blog for more deeper training and complete content.
This is how you use facebook to monetize your blog.
Network and tap into the massive traffic on facebook with relevant, high quality posts and content, then direct people to your blog for deeper levels of training and information.
Then your blog’s monetization strategies go to work for you and turn traffic into leads and sales. It’s not complicated to consistently monetize your blog if your blog is setup the correct way and you understand how to post and share relevant, high quality content that your target market is already looking for.
