Social bookmarking is a term that is often defined as Web 2.0 because it has an online community atmosphere.  It is basically a site where people get to list their favorite sites for other people to see and the other people can comment on them and put in their two cents on the content of the bookmark.

Now the question is, how do you use social bookmarking to help your blog?

You use social bookmarking in a couple of ways.

1.)    To get your site indexed quickly as the video below will show you.

Click here to view the embedded video.

2.)    To get traffic to your site.

I have literally seen over 1,000 visitors in two days because of a site that was submitted to Stumbleupon.  You can actually see this in the case study for the blog that I am giving away at Blogging Beginners which is free, but below are a couple of screen captures that show  you the increase in traffic and where it came from.

A key point to remember is that you don’t want to submit only your sites to the social bookmarking sites.  You want to submit other good content as well so it doesn’t look like you are spamming the sites.

I use a couple of tools to submit to the social bookmarking sites the first one I use is Bookmarking Demon.  It is great because after you set it up not only can you submit to numerous sites quickly and easily but you can ping your pages in the sites.

Bookmarking Demon will let you add a bookmark to over 100 sites out of the box and you can easily add more as you find them, but I only have mine set to send to a little over 60 services.  The reason for this is there are a lot of services that use the Pligg script which is known to be susceptible to viruses and I avoid those services just on principal.  My computer is unlikely to be infected because I have all the proper software installed but why take the chance? Don’t worry, it comes with a comprehensive user guide that will tell you about all of this and even show you how to set up your linking campaigns.

Bookmarking Demon is what I used to get the post in the video above indexed and I highly recommend it to get your site indexed and get backlinks to your site.

The other tool I use is OnlyWire.  You can see this by mousing over the Bookmark and Share button below this post.  I highly recommend you put this plugin on your blogs because if I see a post I like I will use that button to submit your post to over 16 services.  But if I don’t see that button your post I still have a browser plugin that will let me submit any page I am on to multiple services.

Now why do I recommend using OnlyWire when I have already used the Bookmarking Demon?

It is because the Bookmarking Demon does a great job at getting me backlinks and getting the post indexed but there are three services that can get you a lot of traffic that Bookmarking Demon doesn’t do that well with.  They are StumbleUpon (as you saw above), Digg and Technorati.  These are the main services that I use OnlyWire for.

The combination of these two guarantees that my posts are indexed within 48 hours and I usually see at least a little traffic from them within 24 hours.

There is one more effective technique you can use for social bookmarking and that is to find a community of bloggers that have set up a social bookmarking group (like we have with Blogging Beginners) and you submit your site for bookmarking and if they like your post they bookmark it for you. Having your posts bookmarked by numerous people helps you get traffic and indexed.  But remember if you join one of these groups you need to actively participate in the group to get the most from it.

Overview:

Social bookmarking will get your site indexed quickly and bring traffic to your site.

Tools:

Bookmarking Demon – for quick and easy distribution of your posts to a LOT of social bookmarking sites.

OnlyWire – for quick distribution to a number of social bookmarking sites including the biggies, StumbleUpon, Digg and Technorati.

Social Groups – to submit a specific post to be bookmarked by numerous people.

Do you think it takes magic to write a great headline? Nothing could be further from the truth. It just takes a touch of talent, mixed with a bit of technique. And great writers are highly sought after and highly paid.

Joe Sugarman is a legend in the world of copywriting. His number one rule is that every single sentence almost forces the reader to read the next sentence. Your headline should promise a benefit to the reader. Your article should support that promise.

You want to tap into your reader’s emotions. Your writing should be passionate and emotional, taking advantage of their wants, needs and desires. You convey the article’s main idea by creating titles that are short and punchy.

They dont have to be creative or funny — the opposite is actually true ” its sometimes better if their not. Good headings are almost never cute or clever. Cute or clever titles rarely pull readers. (One of my most creative was Roasted Penguin Tastes So Good It Would Make Gandhi Slap His Kids! It was cute; it was clever; and it failed miserably.)

Writing headlines is an art  you’ll want to spend a lot of time crafting this component. Not everyone is successful in crafting attractive and eye-catching headlines. This means if you can master the ability, you’ll be light-years ahead of the competition.

Writing headlines is much like writing a song. In a song, the words must be appealing and in harmony with the music. The same is true in copy. A banner must sing. In other words, it should be in harmony with the story and sound satisfying to the reader.

Good headlines should be active. Make them short and say only what they need to say to cover the topic. They should convey the number one benefit to the reader. The copy that follows should be plain and simple paragraphs that support that benefit, as well as giving more.

Their purpose is to entice us to read on, to rouse our curiosity. I once heard a good headline is like a good pickup line. While they never get you the girl, they buy you a few more minutes to plead your case.

Don’t get me wrong. Funny headlines can sometimes work. I’ve used them myself. But they work best offline, like a direct mail piece. Online you want to think about how people use the search engines. I promise you no one is typing in your clever headline, so the chances of it being seen are nil. They’re using keywords… words relevant to what they want. So use the same words to attract them. And you’ll get the added benefit of higher rankings from Google; they’ll see you as more relevant. Good stuff. After all, higher rankings means more traffic… and that’s what you’re trying to get, right?

That’s right WordPress 2.8 is just around the corner.

The exact date it will be available I am not sure of but there are some cool changes with the widgets and theme installer.

I installed the beta (on a non working site of course) and created a quick video to show you some of the changes that will be coming.

Watch the video below and let me know what you think.

By the way if you noticed the Twitter Bribe below, I might as well tell you there is no bribe if you want to know more about that Robert Plank plugin you can read about it in the Tweet Rewards From Your Blog post.

Pssst! Gotta Tweet?

Robert Plank has been at it again, this time he is invading Twitter.

He created a plugin for the members of his and Lance Tamashiro’s Blog Invasion System that he calls Twitter Invader.

If you look at the bottom of this post you will see what it does. (Yes, I am a Blog Invasion member, it never hurts to learn something new and Robert’s and Lance’s brains are good ones to leech off of.)

Just looking at it you might not be able to tell why it is special. It looks like just another Twitter Tweeter but it does have one noticable difference you can see it asks for your Twitter name and Password.

Personally, I don’t like the password request but it is needed to automatically send the tweet and then bring them back to the same spot without ever leaving the page. When they come back there is a new message that can be a link to take them to a reward for tweeting.

In the settings area for Twitter Invader you can set up the text that will be presented when the tweet is completed and link it directly to reward or bribe. It makes it quick and simple to bribe and reward.

But there is another advantage that you won’t see. When a person tweets your post they will automatically follow you. AH! So you get a tweet which might bring you some traffic and you get a person following you. It doesn’t mean that they won’t unfollow you the next day.

If this is set up the proper way I can see it building your following on Twitter and getting traffic to your blog through the tweets but I want to know what you think.

Is this a plugin you think could make you money?

Is it a plugin you would be willing to pay for? Don’t worry I am not selling it I don’t have those rights. As a matter of fact, I don’t think it is available to anybody except the Blog Invasion members.

Give it a ride, you will end up following RandyTheHermit but I use tweetlater and I will auto-follow you too.

You should also know that I did tweak the appearance of the box a little to make it stand out a little more so if you don’t like the appearance remember that.

Give it a try and let me know what you think. If you don’t want to use it let me know why not.

NOTE:  I have disabled the Tweet Rewards until I actually put a reward on it.  When it is back up and running you will see it on every post!

It has been brought to my attention that I have never made a post on simply how to blog.

I actually thought I did but after reviewing the post on this blog I saw that I really didn’t cover the basics of how to blog.

Basically blogging is just writing that is shown on the internet for the whole world to see. That is all it is and to blog all you have to do is write.

The key is to (as Wizzer would say), “Do It Now!”

That’s right to get started just write, don’t worry about RSS, SEO, widgets, plugins or anything else just get your first post up and available for the world to see.

Why do I say the secret of how to blog is just getting that first post up there?

Simple a lot of people want to blog but they don’t have any idea what to blog about. Getting that first post up is a major step in blogging and it could be in a niche that will be profitable for you or is could just be about the weather but if you can’t make one post then you will have a hard time posting every week.

This doesn’t mean that you should blog about just anything, if you want a profitable blog you need to stick to subjects that people read but this can come later.

The key point is to get comfortable with writing a post. This can be on a free service like WordPress.com or you can install WordPress on your site.

Please note that I only recommend free services for getting started I don’t recommend them for running a profitable blog because of the limitations in what you can do, but for starting out the key thing is to get started.

The more post you write the better you will get at coming up with ideas and the more comfortable you will be at entering your posts on your blog.

Once you are comfortable creating post it is time to get serious, you need to find a topic that you are interested in that can be made profitable. This is called finding your niche.

Once you find a niche you like that you know people look for you can just start blogging and hope that you will turn up in the search engines or you can do some keyword research and target the keywords that people are searching to get targeted traffic to your blog. I have actually seen both ways work but if you the target the keywords people are searching for you will get visitors to your site much faster.

The reason that the just start blogging method will work is because if you create enough posts on any topic you are sure to cover some of the keywords people are searching for and this will get you some ranking in the search engines. But if you know your keywords and work on them you will find traffic coming to your site much, much faster.

With that said there are a couple of things that really contribute to the demise of a blog.

1. Burnout

2. Giving up

Burnout comes when you post constantly and you end up feeling obligated to post every single day or multiple times per day. This makes it seem like work instead of fun. Blogging should be fun! Yes, it is good to post everyday but if you get burnt out and stop posting will you still get traffic? That depends a lot on how the blog was set up, but we aren’t covering that here.

To avoid burnout write when you are inspired to write, this can be one post per day, one post per week or 20 posts in one day. When you have extra posts schedule those to be added to your blog in the future instead of posting them all in one day. This way you are covered if you feel like taking a day off.

Giving up, a lot of bloggers give up because they don’t see a lot of readers and think what they are doing is just a waste of time. I hate to say this, but it might be a waste of time in that niche or it could just be that you haven’t cracked the keywords that you need in the search engines yet.

They keep writing posts and when they look at their blog they don’t see comments and they don’t see sales through their affiliate links. This actually adds to the burnout because it is harder to write when you don’t think anyone is reading it.

But here a not so secret, all blogs start with very little traffic, very few readers and very few comments on the posts. From looking at my traffic stats I average about 1 comment for every 500 visitors and most of those are from regular readers. If you have done your homework for the niche and keywords you will end up with visitors sooner or later so just keep posting and use some of the other techniques to get traffic to your site.

How To Blog synopsis:

Do it now, get your first post up. Don’t worry about appearance or anything else that can come later.

Your topic should be something you love or at least like this will help you avoid burnout.

Once you are comfortable writing a blog you should do some niche research and keyword research but if you aren’t comfortable writing something for the whole world to see you probably shouldn’t be blogging.

Once you have found a niche you can work in it is time to actually set up your blog the right way and get your traffic from the search engines, social sites, RSS feeds and anywhere else you can get it from but the key on how to blog is to get your first post up for the world to see.

This is a post that I am creating using Windows Live Writer and I am curious as to how it will turn out on the blog itself.

So I will insert an image below and see what that looks like. I will also have the option of putting a tilt to the image and putting a custom border so I will play with that.

So I tilted it a little and picked the drop shadow border.

You can insert a map quite easily too.  To bad there aren’t any good maps of St. Thomas on there.

Now I am going to play with the text to see what comes up.

With the text you can do the standard

bold

Italic

underline

Strike Through

But if you notice above I couldn’t turn the bold off on the italic and I couldn’t make it italic.  Must be a bug.

You can get fancier with the text including using all the fonts available on your computer but I doubt these fonts will show up properly unless the person viewing the post has the same fonts on their computer.  This is hard to test so I am going to put some unusual fonts below and you can tell me if they show up right.

Jokerman font this should be a font with dots and dashes on it if you don’t see that font let me know.

Story Book this is a very curvy font

It will be interesting to see if the fonts get embedded so they show up on all computers.  But it is hard for me to check because I have the font on my computers.

I am sure there are other things you can do but that is enough for now except I will try a few of the plugins.

There is a cool plugin for smileys that lets you choose from msn & yahoo

This should also be tweeted and a digg button should show up when I publish but maybe not we will see

Just in case you haven’t noticed yet there are a lot of blogs out there and they are all looking for traffic.

Now the question is what should you be doing to get traffic to your blog or more precisely what should you be doing to keep traffic coming to your site consistently?

It is common sense that the more traffic you get to you blog the more known you become, the more known you become the more you can profit from your blog.

1) Pay Attention To Your Content

Like I pointed out in the post on Rock Star Blogging, your readers are your audience and your fans. They come to see your blog for a reason. The reason they come will vary because no two people write the same way but there are three basic reasons:

• Entertainment
• Information
• Education

Entertainment is pretty much self explanatory but some people get confused when it comes to information and education. What is the difference?

Information is just that information, it can be about your organization or it can be on a topic that you know, for example a blog on Internet Marketing Seminars providing you with the information of when the events are and who will be there would be information. It doesn’t teach you how to put together a seminar yourself but it does provide information about them.

Education, on the other hand, will still provide information but it will provide information on how to do something. For example, this blog provides information and education on how to blog.

Most blogs won’t provide step by step complete education mainly because there are too many variables in what they are trying to teach but they will usually give you enough information to get you started and will usually direct you to a course that will teach you more (usually an affiliate link).

These are key things to remember when you create your content or publish content you got somewhere else.

Try to get your punctuation, grammar and spelling correct.

This doesn’t mean you need to be an expert (you already know I’m not) but you do need to be able to get the message across.

If don’t have a spell checker in your browser then install the TinyMCE Advance plugin which includes a spell checker for Internet Explorer, Firefox and Flock both have addons for spell checking.

For grammar I use Microsoft Word and type my post in and look for green underlines that suggest there is a problem with the grammar. It is no where near perfect but it is better than nothing.

After I have written my post I will copy and paste it into notepad to get rid of all the unwanted coding that Word puts in. Then I will copy and paste from notepad to my blog.

Pay attention to whitespace. Whitespace is the area that doesn’t have any text written. You can increase whitespace and make your post easier to read by keeping your paragraphs short and making sure there blank line between paragraphs.

2) Tell The World About Your Blog

I know, I know, if you could tell the whole world about your blog it would already have more traffic than you can handle.

What I mean by this is get your blog listed in places everyone in the world can find it.

Such as search engines, ping services, social bookmarking sites, other blogs, blog directories and any where else you can think of to list it.

With a WordPress Blog search engines and ping services can be notified as soon as you post it is just a matter of having the right plugins.

Social bookmarking and blog directories can be handled with services like OnlyWire and software like Bookmarking Demon.

I have covered listing with other blogs in a previous post Blog SEO Using Comments for Back Links

For all of these methods you should do some keyword research and use those keywords when you list your blog.

3) Create Posts Often

The more you post the more people will have to read and the more the search engines will find you.

The more you give people to read and choose from the more likely it will be that you have answered one or more of their questions and that makes it more likely they will come back again.

Once your blog is established you can cut down the frequency of your posts but you should still average at least once per week. Until your site is indexed by the search engines you should post once per day or more.

4) Use your blog to tell other people about blogs you like.

You can use the blogroll to list blogs that you visit often. If the blog master is paying attention they will see a link from your blog to theirs and quite often they will provide a link back to your blog.

You can also mention specific post in other blogs in your blog posts to create pingbacks for example Wizzer cover a new blog tool on his blog an this is a link to it. When I submit this post it will automatically ping Wizzersays and if he accepts the ping it will create a link back to my site automatically.

5) Use Your Blog’s RSS Feed

More and more people are staying updated by RSS feed.

Put a prominent link to your RSS feed on your blog. This makes it easy for them to subscribe to your feed.

If you use FeedBurner (now run by Google) you can also let them subscribe to your RSS feed by email for those people that don’t check their feed reader everyday.

It isn’t hard to add the RSS feed buttons to your site and if you pick up regular readers you will find that your traffic increases as they come back to the site to read your latest posts.

Believe it or not being a rock star and having a successful blog are quite similar and I will point out some of those similarities here.

First off both successful blogs and rock stars have a lot of people that come to see them and are anxiously awaiting the next song or post to be released to the public.

They also have people that spend money to purchase their merchandise as well as pay them to endorse their product. 

With rock stars these are usually things like t-shirts, songs and possibly endorsements on TV commercials. 

With successful rock star blogs these are things like your own products, t-shirts (yes, there are a lot of blogs that sell t-shirts) and the endorsements are usually affiliate products.

What does it take to create a rock star blog?

Basically it take same things to become a rock star blogger as it does to be a rock star but there are many more opening for rock star bloggers than there are for true rock stars.

But here are the basics for how to create a rock star blog.

Sing your own songs in your own voice – This is obvious for the true rock stars for bloggers it means that you need to provide original content on your blog.

This doesn’t mean that you have to write all your own content, there are a lot of rock stars that hire people to write their songs BUT they always review and rehearse these songs and change what they don’t like before they release them to the public.

If you are purchasing content (and I don’t care where) you need to review it, check to make sure it fits with your blog and change what you don’t like or what doesn’t sound like you.  This way all the songs (posts) will sound like they came from the same band no matter who wrote them.

Prepare your stage – every big rock star has a stage that is part of the show.  Your blog is your stage and it should present an image that you are proud of and reflects you and your content.

This doesn’t mean that you have to have explosions and flashing lights everywhere you look but you should have it look professional.  It doesn’t have to be flashy to be professional but it does need to be clean easy to read and navigate.

Make sure your roadies know their job – Most rock stars are their own roadies when they first start out. The carry their own equipment, set up the instruments and test them all by themselves.  As they grow in popularity they hire roadies to take care of this.

For rock star blogger you already have at least one roadie and this is your hosting service.  The amount of help you get from this roadie depends on the service.  If you just want the basics you can use sites like Blogger.com or WordPress.com and just get the basics.  If you want to have the roadies take care of some of the technical aspects of your blog like SEO and plugins you can go with a service like Blafeo.com.  If you are a unique show (special features and plugins) you will need to find a hosting service that is reliable and either you need to know the specifics (plugins, SEO, product creation) or you need to hire a roadie to handle them for you.

Train your stagehands – Rock stars usually have stage hands that are responsible for specific items such as lighting, sound and special effects.

If you are running your own blog with special features then you can look at plugins as your stage hands, they will take care of much of the process in the background and you can tell them what they need to do and just forget about it.  You will have to check up on them every now and then to see if they are still doing their job, in other words you need to check to see if the plugin needs updated.

Sing on key – This goes for your back up singers too. For a rock star this is an obvious point, for a rock star blog this means you need to stay on topic in your niche.  And you need to make sure your backup singers are on topic too.  Who are your backup singers?  They are guest bloggers, affiliate programs and anything else that will be visible to your fans on your rock star blog. 

How do affiliate programs become your backup singers?  Here is an exaggerated example; let’s say you have a blog on saving the whales and an affiliate program that sell harpoons, this affiliate program would definitely be a sour note on your performance.

Everything should stay in your niche or be something that supports your niche, this is how you stay on topic through out your blog.

The more gigs you schedule the better – every time a rock star plays a gig he can add fans and followers to his product and the more fans and followers he has the more tickets, CD’s and merchandise he can sell.

For a rock star blog every post is a gig and you have the chance of getting new fans with every post.  The more posts you have that are on topic (in your niche) the more chances you have of building your fan base and selling your merchandise. 

One of the major keys here is to stay on topic in your niche. You won’t find many rock stars singing opera to gain fans they might stray into country a little to steal a few fans because there is some overlap in those niches, but their main following will always be rock and roll.

Promote your gigs – before rock stars are rock stars they usually do all their own promotion, usually by word or mouth or putting up posters in high traffic areas.

A rock star blog will do the same thing. Except their word of mouth is usually an RSS feed, a tweet, search engine optimization or an email and their posters don’t go on telephone poles they go on social bookmarking sites like Stumpleupon, Digg and countless others.  Of course, just like with the rock star the more promotion you get the more people there will be that show up at your gigs.

As you can see there are a number of ways being a rock star is comparable to creating a successful blog.  There are more ways that they are the same such as learning your chords instead of lip syncing but I covered that in another post.

I bet some of you are still wondering what all this has to do with “How to create a rock star blog”.  The answer is that all the steps listed above are needed to create a rock star blog all you need to do it follow them and you will find fans of your blog showing up at your gigs.

If you liked this post how about putting up some posters for me using the buttons below.

In my previous post I talked about the difference in being a true rock star and being a rock star in the rock star video game.

In this post I am going to show you the difference!

As I mentioned before the main difference is a true rock star learns the chords necessary to become a rock star and the video game rock star just pushed the buttons and pretends.

This is a lot like internet marketing. There are a ton of people out there that have never made a penny on the internet telling you how to make money.

Does that make any sense to you?

Now I have found a couple of videos on YouTube that shows the difference between knowing the chords and trying to be a rock star by pushing buttons.

First watch this video…

Click here to view the embedded video.

Now watch the magic button version.

You should quickly see the difference!

Click here to view the embedded video.

Did you see the difference?

Being a rock star blogger is exactly like this. If you learn the basics and take the time to develop yourself you can be a rock star blogger.

If you run around looking for the magic button that will instantly make you a rock star blogger without doing any work you will end up as a champ in the Rock Star Blogger Video Game!

I don’t consider myself a rock star blogger, I know how to make money with a blog (or two or three or a dozen) but I have never developed the huge blogging site that has tens of thousands of visitors per day, at least not yet. But I am on the road to it. I have a number of blogs that average over 200 visitors per day that were created with little work once I knew the basics.

Anyone that wants to do this can do this! But it does take time and knowledge.

You need to make up your mind! Do you want to be the Rock Star that knows the chords or do you want to be like the ones that think just pushing a button will make them a rock star?

If you are willing to put in the effort a blogging course like the one we offer at Blogging Beginners is a great way for you to get the ball rolling.

Everybody wants to have a Rock Star blog. You know the type of blog where everybody comes screaming to see what you have to offer and they throw money at you left and right.

The problem is that most people use the Rock Star video game as their technique.

What do I mean by this?

First you have to understand what the Rock Star Video game is.

Just in case you are one of the few that hasn’t seen an advertisement for the Rock Star Video game, it is a game where you pretend to know what you are doing but you just push buttons instead of actually learning what you need to know to be a Rock Star.

Everybody wants to be a Rock Star but nobody wants to learn the chords.

The true Rock Stars and the true Rock Star Bloggers either know the chords or they have a team of people that handle the chords for them.

If you don’t have a team or if you don’t have the money for a team you have to know what you are doing to get to the top.

Even if you they have a team you will see that most of the top players still know what it takes to get to the top and still know how to do it themselves if they need to.

Just pushing a button and instantly becoming successful would be great and belief in pushing a button to become a Rock Star is what robs a lot of people of time and money.

They buy into the hype on the sales pages and the emails and pour out their money and waste their time trying to be a Rock Star without knowing the cords.

Yes, you can be successful in your own mind and in your living room but when it comes to the real world, THERE IS NO MAGIC BUTTON.

You have to learn what you need to do to be successful and most people don’t want to learn because it is hard and takes an effort. It is much easier to throw money at a useless magic button then it is too actually take action and do something to help you succeed.

Do you want to know a secret? Most of what you need to learn isn’t that hard, once you have actually tried it and done it once or twice you will usually understand it but it does take an effort.

Sites like our Blogging Beginners site will show you everything you need to know to start your Rock Star career but we don’t tell you that you will make a ton of money because we know that a vast majority of the people won’t take the actions necessary to generate income. Instead they will be looking for that nonexistent magic button to push.

To succeed online you need to learn what you need to learn and take action with the knowledge you have. You would be amazed at how easy it is once you actually make just a little effort.

The biggest Rock Stars in the world started by learning a single chord and expanding from there. You don’t start at the top start with something you can afford and when you start to make some money use that to expand your education or your business or both, since your knowledge can increase your income.
