I was talking last week
about creating a business
with your blog.
If you didn't see it,
I copied it at the end
of today's message.
I had meant to continue
on last week, but I was
so busy putting together
my newest ebook, that I
slipped up.
So, anyway, here's the
point I wanted to get
across to you.
It doesn't matter how
much traffic you have
coming to your blog,
or how many comments
and friends you get.
It only matters that
you build a crowd of
folks who want your
help.
That means they want
to get your ebook,
so they sign up for
your free offer.
Now they're on your
email list.
Now you can build the
relationship deeper
and eventually they
will become a customer
or client.
It doesn't have to
be an ebook.
You might mention in
a blog post that you
do some kind of
mentoring.
Link to a little
sales page that gives
more details.
It doesn't even have
to be a sales page.
It can just be one
of your blog pages
that you title
"mentoring" or
"coaching" or
"work with me".
Then link to that
page when it comes
up naturally in
your blog post.
Say "That's how it's
done and by the way,
if you need more
help, I do coaching
to walk you through
the process..."
Then link to your
"Mentoring" page.
Put a paypal link
on it and voila...
You've got a business.
These are just a
couple of examples of
how you can turn your
blog into a business.
I hate to admit it,
but I didn't even
think of how to convert
my blogging visitors
into clients and customers
until I had been blogging
a while and had built a
pretty large following.
So, I want you to think
of it right now.
How can you build a
business on your blog
today?
I'm not talking about
developing an info course
that might take 6 months.
That's fine, but for now,
for today... how can you
start building a base of
clients and customers
from your blog?
In the next (part 3) edition
of this mini-series, I'll
give you some more ideas
for doing this.
Hey, don't be shy...
Hit the reply.
(I just realized that
rhymes, lol... now I've
got a jingle going on, haha).
Anyway, hit the reply and
tell me what you're doing
to make your blog pay off.
Or let me know why you
think that's not happening.
What's holding you back?
Love to hear from you.
Talk Soon,
Donna

In case you missed it:
Here's Part 1 of this
series that I'm calling
"I hate to admit it"
==> ==> ==>
I hate to admit this.
But...
When I first started
blogging, I thought that
I just needed to drive
traffic to my blog,
and the money would
start rolling in.
I figured if I added
some advertising on
it, I'd be on easy
street.
A lot of my fellow
bloggers were counting
on Google Adsense links
to put them in the game.
It was all about quickly
putting together a site
that could bring passive
income for ever after.
If you can't guess...
the Adsense path was
pretty useless for just
about everybody I knew.
You had to have so much
traffic coming to your
blog to make anything
more than a few bucks
here and there.
If you have that much
traffic, trust me on
this...
There's a much more
lucrative business model
you should be using than
Adsense, or banner ads,
or sponsored posts or
any other nonsense.
As far as my blog, I
built it up to the point
that, yes...
I was actually generating
thousands of visitors
per day on autopilot.
So, was that the end
of a happy story?
Not on your life.
In fact, I dropped to
an emotional low when
I first realized that
even with thousands
of daily visitors, I
had no way to convert
them into customers
and clients.
So, everything I had
worked on so hard
was working in terms
of having a very
popular blog with
lots of traffic...
but it was failing
in the sense that
it wasn't doing me
any good in terms
of having an online
business.
I knew something had
to change.
In fact, a lot of
things had to change.
I'll continue this
journey in the next
day or 2.
Meanwhile, hit the
Reply and let me
know how your blog
of other online biz
is working out for
you.
Talk Soon,
Donna
