Don’t Write About Internet Marketing

Don’t Write About Internet Marketing

Actually I’m tired of seeing all the internet marketing blogs but I do need to read them to learn more about internet marketing and to generate more from blogging. I’m also tired of those so-called ‘internet gurus’ which almost 60 percent of their posts just ask you to spend more for them. Everyday I get these kind of messages in Twitter or newsletters that I’ve subscribed “Hi.. want to know how I get $5000 last week? Check this out..” which actually ask us to spend on something. The truth is there are too many blogs about internet marketing that write almost the same thing. In this situation, Coca-Cola would be preferred instead of Ridhuan’s Cola. Despite the exponentially increasing numbers of internet marketing blogs, top searches in all search engines are still not about internet marketing or anything related. Try check Yahoo! Buzz or Google Insights for Search or Google Trends and you’ll notice that entertainment is always what people are looking for. Wait! Don’t write about Britney yet until you know your competition. There are more established entertainment websites than you can imagine that will always keep you invisible unless you’re a paparazzi and have what others don’t.

This is the reason why niche is important. If you asked any successful bloggers, the first advice you’ll get is to write about what you’re best of or what interest you most. Niche marketing or blogging is about having a targeted readers. Targeted readers are from any topics such as how to solve a rubix cube, games for iPhones, your graffiti artworks, anything. Internet marketing is also a niche but another thing is to know your competitors and try to write about something you already know instead of what you need to learn. What’s important is you stick to that niche so that your readers will also stick with you. I’m not an expert but here’s my experience with niche blogging. I have 2 niche blogs where one is about a Computer Aided Design (CAD) software and another for my artworks. Visitors to these blogs are in the same interest as me and as long as I keep giving what they searched for, they’ll keep coming and become subscribers. When the blog is getting more popular and interest to that niche is increased, more people come to the blogs and become subscribers. I write about a CAD software instead of CAD because CAD is still too general and covers so many aspects. By focusing on a software, I can easily write anything that I know without so much effort.

Another important reason why writing about internet marketing is not a good way to make money online is because people who read about internet marketing are mostly web-savvy. They know a lot about internet and advertising and will not generate so many clicks on your advertisement. To make most revenue from internet advertising, the target should be the non-web savvy users and search engines visitors. These are people who use internet to seek information and will go anywhere to find answers to their curiosity. Integrate all knowledge and resources of internet marketing that you know in these niche blogs or websites. If you have an internet marketing blog and another of different niche with similar amount of visitors, you’ll notice that more revenue is generated from the non-internet marketing blog. Different approach is required to make more income from internet marketing readers because they don’t just read your blog but also look at how you manage it. A referral link to an affiliate program will have more click than Adsense. Different approach is required to make more income from internet marketing readers because they don’t just read your blog but also look at how the blog is managed.

So why am I writing about internet marketing? I’m not an expert therefore everything in this blog are what I knew and experienced. I just write about everything I know and it feels good to share these information with others. Many people are trying to blog for money including me and this is actually not a good practice. The key is whether you like to write or not and what you can write about. If you don’t like to write, probably after a month you’ll give up and stop blogging. Same thing happen if you try to write about something you’re not good at. I know this because it happened. My suggestion is to make a research of yourself and find out what interest you most and you can write about the same topics over and over again. Don’t mix niches together in 1 blog because some niche readers don’t like a mixed category blogs unless you know how to organize them properly.

  1. I agree with you on several points, of course your right about marketing blogs to a certain extent. Around 70% of my visitors come from Google and going by my last stats check in c-Panel 40% were unique s. I try to diversify with WWAH as much as possible.

    On the niche subject I agree its a must for you to find a targeted audience and if its a subject your passionate about then you have every chance of making it a success.

    As for the Gurus i am in complete agreement,but as you say its a necessary evil if nothing else just to keep up with what the latest get rich scheme is.And you can checkout the IM forums to get feedback whether is good or bad, then you can write about it and either slate it or sing its praises.

    I find that a lot of newbies to IM are better off signing up to a reputable training course, this way they can focus there efforts and not get sidetracked with the many ludicrous claims of riches that are not feasible.

    Thank’s for the read, I enjoyed it

    I just couldn’t help but comment on your blogging design it is impressive – It is like hed kandi has influenced you a great deal and how it turned out here is impressive :) and with regards to niche blogging you are absolutely right. Bloggers should learn to find out what they are interested in first and then determine how or what approach in terms of marketing works best for their style :) But above all that it is always a work in progress. :) Have a great weekend :) will definitely be dropping by more often here from today :) keep up the great work :)

    I have to agree with you about all those so-called gurus. Are they really gurus or are they only gurus in their own minds. I think the latter is the real truth. There are ways to market your product w/o throwing it down others throats. Enough is enough!

    Discovering the right niche for one’s self is of the utmost importance. Having some diversity is good and makes people come back to your blog to see what’s on your mind. I like a mix of things and it makes me go back to certain blogs to see what they are up to.

    The right training is so important for the newbie. If I only knew then what I know now, Wow! I would have been a lot better off. Live and learn is how the saying goes and I am continually learning every day.

    Friends 4 Life!
