PILAR CTPM #1: CONTENT (C)

 

“Content is King” – Anonymous.

What you're looking for internet users?

Information.

What is the desired person when using the search engine Google orYahoo?

Information.

What you read when surfing visit sites that exist on the internet?

Information.

Information. Information. Information. Yes, that's the fact. People usethe internet first of all not because you want to buy something, but rather because it wanted to get the information.

To be precise: the information they really need.

If the main purpose of internet users is to get information, then there is no other way to appeal to the hearts of prospective readers of your blog except with high-value information and providing useful whichreally needed the readers of your blog.

Then what should you do?

1. change the interests, hobbies, SKILLS and YOUR TALENTS into the NEEDED INFORMATION

Everyone knows about something. So it is with you. Perhaps Your hobby is watching movies. Or like to read popular psychology books. Or perhaps you are good at graphic design. Or like drawing comics. Orit could be that you have a hobby of the streets and the doctrine of right angles of the city where you live. Or perhaps you are a physics teacher.

Whatever your interests, hobbies, expertise and talent that you have,you can turn it into information that is valuable and useful to the readers of your blog.

How do I determine the topic of your blog?

To determine the right topic and profitable, try and answer the following questions:

– What is your greatest interest?

– What is your hobby?

– What is your expertise?

– What is your talent?

-What topics/most knowledge You mastered?

– How many opportunities to Excel in the topics that interest you?

– What keywords are the most sought-after in the topics that interest you?

– How monetization opportunities that could be done in the topics that interest you?

By answering the questions above, you will find topics that truly suitYour interest and desire and have the potential to provide benefits through monetization of blogs that later you will do.

DO IT NOW:

1. Stop reading this article (5-10 minutes).

2. take a piece of paper and ballpoint.

3. Please answer one of the above questions quickly (brainstorming)to finish.

4. Save Your paper notes as a guide to your blog topic.

2. CREATE HIGH VALUE CONTENT, USEFUL and NECESSARY

What makes people want to visit your blog and loyal?

The content is useful.

Create high-value content and useful is the key to blog monetizationthrough Pilar CTPM. No content that is truly useful and needed, you will not get visitors. Without the traffic of visitors, You can not doPre-selling. Without any Pre-selling, monetization is not possible.

Do you have to be good at writing to produce useful content?

Not at all.

The phrase "I am not good at writing" or "my writing is bad", is not areason for not being able to produce content that is useful.

One worthy principle held for writing useful content is: you are not Shakespeare. You're not a writer. You are not a novelist. You are not trying to fascinate your blog readers with the ability to speak Your beautiful nan. You just want to share the knowledge you have and really needed a reader of your blog.

Enough. That's about it.

A far more important in creating useful content is a great desire to share with the readers of your blog. Use your own personal style. Don't need to be somebody else. Be yourself. Burning desire to share and how that language only belongs to your own that's what precisely will be the attraction and Your self-image.

Not the other.

3. start WAKING UP a BACKLINK

What is a backlink? Simply put, backlinks are links links from other blogs to your blog. There are at least three ways to build backlinks. First, by creating a dummy blog that we can give the link to each other.Second, by doing backlink Exchange directly to other bloggers. Thirdly, by creating a useful pillar content and really needed so as to makeother bloggers link links even without being asked.

The first and second way is easier, but there are its limitations. How many dummy blogs can we make? There must be a limit. So, not all bloggers want to do link exchange. The second way is more difficult but has the potential to build backlinks is much larger. But if you want to build a long term business with your blog, the third way is much more profitable.

4. write CONTENT that GIVES MANY MORE BACKLINKS

What should you do after writing content that is really useful and it takes your blog readers?

Write more content.

By writing more content on a regular basis and is rich with keywordsthat you master, information seekers through a search engine (search engines) will more easily find your blog along with getting good position of SERP (Search Engines Results Page) your blog on search engines.

Like a store, your blog will be more interesting if visitors have a "merchandise" (content) that is more complete, high quality and always fresh (up to date). Of course You'll be lazy go to stores that sell only a handful of "merchandise" (content), the number-two and even quality already stale (rarely updated).

So, as a conclusion of this first pillar, to do a blog monetization, the first thing you think is not what the monetization PROGRAM should I choose, but rather content such as what should I write about.

Content first. Monetization later.

PILAR CTPM #2: TRAFFIC (T)

 

 

Content is King.

However the content is not everything.

In the world of blogging, high value content and useful is not enough as a measure of the success of blog monetization. The content is good, perfect, not even with immediately will attract readers. What does a blog with high value content, useful and good in all its aspects but none of the people who read it?

How can no one read?

Isn't the high-value content and beneficial will surely be wanted andneeded people?

Unfortunately not.

Good content is one thing, but how to attract visitors is another thing.

Yes, attract traffic to your blog is the second step you have to do after writing good content.

In General, there are two kinds of traffic.

First, traffic free. Traffic is largely derived from visitors coming from a search engine's search results page. The rest of social media, social bookmarking, forum and more.

Second, paid traffic. This traffic comes from visitors coming from advertising Pay-Per-Click (such as Google Adwords or Yahoo PublishersNetwork) or Facebook Ads you use to promote your blog.

Although you certainly can do both, but a free traffic should be your main focus to attract visitors. Paid traffic probably will give visitors to your blog, but once you stop putting up ads, then stop anyway the flow of visitors to your blog.

Due to the consideration that this article will just offend tips how to attract free traffic to your blog.

How to attract free traffic to your blog?

1. SUBMIT YOUR BLOG to SEARCH ENGINES

Trivial, but crucial.

This is the first important step you have to do to attract free traffic to your blog. To get free traffic from the search engines, your blog should be registered and ter-crawled by search engine robots. Offers at least on three of the biggest search engines i.e. Google, Yahoo and MSN.

2. SUBMIT YOUR BLOG to the BLOG DIRECTORY

The blog Directory is a site that contains a list of blogs that are arranged based on a particular topic. By registering your blog to the blogdirectory, in addition to be able to get a shot of the visitor, you will get backlinks from blog directory sites which most have high enoughpage rank value. Consequently, in the eyes of the search engines of your blog will have a higher quality anyway.

3. CREATE MORE HIGH-VALUE CONTENT

More than anything, and as has been discussed in the first part of this series of articles (Content), creating high-value content that is an absolute requirement to attract visitors to your blog. Write content that is beneficial for the reader of your blog and do optimization focusedkeywords that match the topic of your blog.

Start by writing content on a regular basis and topical by performingon-page SEO optimization based on keywords that you snap away. Getting good on-page optimization you do, the higher ranking SERP(Search Engine Results Page) you get, and, in turn, the greater the chances of the arrival of visitors to your blog.

4. WAKE UP MORE BACKLINKS

Building backlinks will increase the value of off-page search engine optimization (SEO) which in turn will increase the ranking of your search results or SERP (Search Engine Results Page). The more backlinks the natural or organic (read: not a paid link) you get, the higher the SERP of your blog in the search engines. As a result, certainly the more visitors that come to your blog.

5. PROMOTE YOUR BLOG

There are many ways to promote a blog without spending money at all. Some of the ways that you can try are:

– comment (certainly not a spam comment) on other blogs

– sign up and leave a signature in the blog forum-online forum

– make use of the RSS Feed from FeedBurner, for example

– make use of the RSS by email, for example from FeedBlitz

– utilize social networking sites such as Facebook

– exploit microblogging such as Twitter

– utilize social bookmarking site is a kind of Digg, StumbleUpon

– write for other blogs (guest blogger) and include your blog address

In addition to the methods above, you can also try doing a promotional blog with amazing ways a la guerrilla marketing. Essentially, the free promotional efforts do everything possible before deciding how to choose a paid promotion through advertising.

By performing the above steps, your blog will be known for the quality and credibility, both by the search engines as well as by readers who feel the benefit from your blog. The end result, you will attract a loyal visitors always come and come again to your blog. After havingquite a lot of traffic, the next step You can do Pre-selling (P).

PILAR CTPM #3: PRE-SELLING (P)

“Building a business is all about building relationship” – Anonymous.

Which one you choose: a seller of meatballs who serve you with a smile, friendly greetings friendly and polite when bringing your order, or a seller of meatballs that pout, without a smile and almost like a stiff robot serves your request?

Which one you choose: a small grocery stall owner who gives the gifts just candy for Your sister, mentions your name when serving the news and ask your family, or a grocery stall owner indifferent serving, sullen and surly, and never give any reward when you buy something?

I don't know your answer, but if I should answer it, I would choose the seller of meatballs and a grocery stall owner first.

Why?

Probably not because their products better. Perhaps also not because their prices are cheaper. But more because they serve with a heart.They serve with warmth and sincerity that made me feel appreciated.

In summary: they managed to build good relationships and gain my trust.

Yes, that's the essence of building a business: build rapport, building a sense of trust, respect and loyal consumer you are.

Then what to do with the above question Pre-selling (P) in Pilar CTPM?

In Pilar CTPM, Pre-selling is the online version of how to build a good relationship with those who need your services, in this case your blog visitors. Pre-selling is about giving the best to visitors of your blog, build trust through your blog and foster a sense of loyal visitors of your blog to you.

Pre-selling is the next step after you write high-value content, usableand it takes a reader of your blog, as well as once your blog starts getting traffic that quite a lot.

By doing Pre-selling, in fact you are building good relations in the long run to gain the trust, respect and loyalty of the visitors of your blog. Pre-selling works, makes it easy to perform the monetisation for your blog.

At least there are a few tips to do Pre-selling well with your blog:

1. WRITE CONTENT that really needed YOUR BLOG VISITORS

By providing content that meets the needs of the visitors of your blog, you make your blog visitors appreciate and like you. Good contentwill also encourage your blog visitors to think of you as a "friend" who is sincerely give recommendations, instead of foreigners who want to "sell" something to them.

2. GIVE SERVICE to ITS FULLEST

Menulislah with a passion for sharing and with your own style. Take advantage of the FeedBurner service (or other free feed service) to provide service options to visitors of your blog who would like to read your blog via your RSS Feed Reader or email. In addition balaslah comments and questions coming into your blog.

3. GIVE a BONUS to VISITORS of YOUR BLOG

There is no harm in providing incentives in the form of a free ebook to visitors of your blog (as I do). You can also give a just reward for the visitors of the blog which gives the most commented or best comment to a post on your blog. One moment, you could make the contest with prizes that will push your blog visitors to better engage interactively with your blog.

4. DON'T FORCE VISITORS to YOUR BLOG

Yes, don't force visitors to your blog to do something not wants. Do not force your visitors to click on ads, but make your own visitors who like to click on an ad or link or whatever you choose as a means ofmonetization of your blog.

5. give the CHOICE to VISITORS of YOUR BLOG

Lastly, whatever your goal, always give a choice to visitors of your blog, not even to say over your bid. Be aware that there is definitely your blog visitors are not clicking on ads on your blog, or reject the recommendation of a product you provide. Rest assured that with give you options to visitors of your blog, your blog visitors will increasinglyappreciate you.

By performing the above steps, you will gain the trust, respect and loyalty of the visitors of your blog. The end result, you will have a large number of visitors to blogs that have the mindset of "open to receiving recommendations".

The next step, of course you will be easier to do the last stage in thePilar CTPM i.e. Monetization (M).

PILAR CTPM #4: MONETIZATION (M)

"C-T-P-.... and finally Monetization (M)"

You have built a base of quality content and provide the maximum benefit for your blog visitors (Content). You already have a loyal visitortraffic that really need your blog (Traffic). You have done pre-sellingby building trust and credibility in the eyes of visitors to your blog. Visitors to your blog like you (Pre-selling). It is time you can change the flow of traffic your blog visitors into income streams.

Yes, monetization for your blog (Monetization).

There are at least two ways to blog monetization:

1. DIRECT MONETIZATION

Direct monetization is done by displaying or utilizing monetization programs like advertising network, paid review, independent advertising or affiliate programs. Examples of direct monetization is you are displaying Google Adsense ads on your blog, write paid review of suchpaid review program GetReviewed, PayPerPost or SponsoredReviews, or write a review about an affiliate product that you are promoting. By doing direct monetization, you deliberately use the blog as a medium to elections caused money from the internet.

2. INDIRECT MONETIZATION

Indirect monetization is done by utilizing the blog more as a means of marketing tools for Your products or services. It could be that you have digital products (eBooks or podcasts may be) or specific expertise (e.g. web design and graphics, copywriting or translation) that you want to promote through your blog. With indirect monetization, doYou "just" leveraging your blog to offer products or skills you have. You earn money from products or services of your expertise and not from your blog.

Meanwhile, there are some things that are at least worthy of scrutinywhen doing a blog monetization:

1. MONETIZATION at the RIGHT TIME

Determining the right time to start doing a blog monetization could be said to be easy-easily distress. Principle: only you yourself knowswhen is the right time to start doing Your blog monetization. Not someone else. You know how the minimum amount of visitors the blogpresumably could provide an income for you. Does 100 visitors per day? 200 visitors? 1000 visitors?

Nevertheless there are some parameters that can be used as a reference when to perform such as: blog monetization

– Number of visitors traffic

– RSS Subscribers

– Number of comments

– Number of email subscribers

– Alexa Rank

– Page Rank

From looking at the figures of the above parameters, you can specifywhether the time has come for me-Your blog monetization.

2. DIVERSIFY MONETIZATION PROGRAMS

Again the cliche phrase really proven the truth: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

No different is the case with your online business. In the internet world you need to mendiversifikasikan Your income streams. Do not merely leaned on one type of monetization program despite proving toprovide tangible results and up to you. Remember, who knows your eggs broke. You need a basket other monetization for storing eggs your earnings.

So, diversifikasikan at least two or three programs of monetization for your blog so that Your income stream stays awake.

3. Select the MODEL and the APPROPRIATE MONETIZATION PROGRAMS

Choose a model and monetization program that best suits the topic of your blog and the characteristics of visitors to your blog. Most beginner bloggers just follow the strategy of monetization ala "magazinemodels." As the name suggests (magazine), with this monetization model you treat your blog like a online magazine with a selection of the main form of advertising monetization program (mainly Google Adsense). A growing number of visitors, then the greater the chances ofpeople clicking ads on your blog.

When in fact there are other monetization model that is worth a try, namely "expert model". As the name suggests (expert or experts), with this monetization model you treat your blog as a reference for those who are looking for information you're good at. You become an expert or an expert on a particular field (e.g. social media marketing). Monetization program options can be a digital products (such as eBooks about social media marketing) or affiliate programs in the same niche.

Once again, do not force myself to use any kind of program monetization.

Study to utilize programs advertising network that best suits your topic and content of your blog.

4. try, evaluation and TRY AGAIN

After selecting the monetization program you think is appropriate to the topic and the characteristics of readers of your blog, the next step is to monitor the results.

If does not match expectations, don't be afraid to evaluate. Do the necessary changes (either change program monetization, monetization programs how to use change or just a change of placement program monetization you use). The last step, try again, and this time withbetter.

5. PERSISTENT and PATIENT

Lastly, don't expect everything goes smoothly without a hitch. Be aware that not all monetization program will give you the results as you would expect. Never despair. Try again. And try again. Persistent and patient is the key. The more you are persistent and patient, the more you are able to learn from mistakes and to correct it.

Pilar CTPM strategy with reference to this, your efforts to do a blog monetization will be more easy and scalable. Remember, there are no shortcuts. There is no "quick money from the internet."

If you are interested in the long term on your online business (Yes, even with your blog as a long term business), make sure you do it the right way from the beginning. Follow the principles of Pilar CTPM.
