Blogging And Name Association

Just do it! By that I meant continue to blog, writing original content, or at least guest-posting to make your blog's presence felt. Hence be it your name or blog's readers will be growing, it will be decided by itself, win-win situation!

Blogging And Name Association: Building Your Name? Or Building Your Blog?

It's a tough decision that a blogger must make, especially as more traffic and attention start surrounding your website. As your blog starts getting more recognition, how do you decide what to brand more? Do you want to push your own name to expand on future opportunities apart from the blog? Or have you put so much work into your blog that you rather let the name speak for itself?

It isn't a question of hedonism or a call for attention – we as bloggers already have developed a sort of personal demand of attention on the Internet. Otherwise, why bother writing anything in the first place?

Everyone has their own agenda with their own blog, and while pushing the blog name can bring about incredible results, knowing who is behind it can be even better. It's obviously easier to name off one blog after another in the niche of what you write, but can you name the people who write and operate these sites? Does not knowing stimulate curiosity? Or could it raise suspicion about the credibility of the blog since there is a severe lack of human quality?

It's hard for me to say that you MUST attach your name to your blog, because some people do find comfort or even value to maintaining anonymity. Some even write under pseudonyms for personal reasons, protection, etc. But one good blog opens up the world to other possibilities, and when the Internet audience can point your name out – that is, associate your name to your blog – you're putting yourself in a very strong position for future endeavors.

Think about the blogs out there that have really made a name for themselves. When I think a blog like SEOmoz, I immediately associate with Rand Fishkin. It doesn't have anything to do with him being the CEO of the company, but rather, he does an excellent job relating his experiences to his writing. They do not exist separately.

Blogs that provide excellent content, intricate thought and fresh insight but don't provide a real sense of connection to the writer feel very impersonal to me. One might argue that it is enough just let the “author bio” speak enough in terms of personalization, but this is ubiquitous enough in blogging. True personal branding to the blog means creating a dialogue out of a monologue. The reader feels that he/she is conversing with the writer.

While it is an extreme example, the late journalist Hunter S. Thompson launched off a new string of “gonzo journalism” - where the news was being spoken, not read in a marquee form. That is the reason his journalism is known as his journalism. This same type of power can be applied to the blogger.

I think that this type of association is something that can't be forced, but rather, a gradual relational build. Simple acts can mean letting your audience becoming more familiarized with you as a person on top of your blog. If your Twitter handle or Facebook page is only named as the blog's name, you'll still have plenty to gain, but there is more when your readers know who they are speaking to.

That is a lesson I learned (and am still learning) for my own tech blog, DX3. While I've made more effort to attach my name to DX3, my Twitter handle right now is simply @DX3tech. This is okay, but I want more people to know that it is me, Ezra, who provides the content.

Once again I will reiterate that this association can't be expected out of everyone, since the goals with my blog may not be the same as yours. But looking at the trends of successful blogs in the past, and as long as you keep a clean image, you could stand to gain much more out of your blogging experience.

Ezra Melino is a tech and science blogger out of the United States. His blog, DX3, covers the relationship between humans and technologies that are developed.

The Little That Makes The Difference With Internet Marketing

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:58:00 -0700

New to Internet Marketing or Making Money Online?

If you are already venturing into making money online, have you Received Your 2nd Clickbank Check?** Because many have not even reached here despite months if not years of trying. When you had, this is probably not the info that could benefit your online busineses anymore; and I advise you to seek further relevant info elsewhere. But if you are a Newbie to this ever challenging yet very rewarding industry, read on please.

Internet Marketing had never been so easy; thanks to the much anticipated step-by-step internet marketing coaching program DotComSecrets X by Russell Brunson; starting with a mere US$ 1/- in the first 30 day. Kindly refer to this comment by Pam on WarriorForum

I am a member of dot com secrets x and am also in my second month with them. I have seen some good results. Not huge, like the guy who posted above, but i did make back more than i paid for my membership. $1 first month and $97 after that. It's basically a video training course on how to make money online and Russell has teamed up with some people to offer some special deals on advertising. That is all good, but with these advertisers, (safelist owners) you won't make any cash if you're not in the mmo [make money online] or im [internet marketing] niche.

The training however is the main selling point for dotcomsecretsx and even though i've been making a full time income online for over 11 years, i still managed to pick up a couple of gems. For newbies this would be a great place to start and if you're in the i.m niche you should see some results if you follow the program. Having said that, you could probably find the same information elsewhere and it won't cost you a monthly fee, but i do like way it's all laid out and presented in a step by step fashion in dotcomsecretsx and the training is updated often which is why they probably have the monthly fee.

They do provide squeeze pages for you to promote dotcomsecrtesx and build your own email list.....................

I know i went all over the place with this review and there was no proper structure. Sorry about that, i'm doing too many things at once.

What can one expect from this $1/- DotComSecrets X Coaching Program?

Great clear, easy to follow video training
Training provided in short bite sized easy to digest pieces
Tested, high converting offers
Quick start guide
Getting “unstuck” webinar (really good)
Step by step on using both paid and free methods of traffic generation
Training broken into managable day by day sections
Access to members only Facebook group that is very active

Finally, I have this to say, paying $1/- for a 30-day online training is easier said than done; why? While most felt 'no sweat' paying the $1/-, but not many can ensure the 30-day long training with Strict Discipline. That's the little that makes the difference with internet marketing. Don't take my word for it; give it a try, what is there you have got to loose....? What is the worst that could happen when you part with this $1/-?
