The process of being innovative (and why one good idea is not enough)

Julian Barabas — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 04:17:43 +0000

One of the first things I learnt when I started blogging, was that it can be a challenge to meet (albeit self-imposed) publishing deadlines, while also ensuring that each blog post provides an innovative and interesting story. There is no doubt, that to be consistently innovative, at regular intervals, is a challenge that requires practice.

Having a fast and reliable hosting solution is important to any professional blogger. Not only do your readers want to access your information quickly, but when various search engine spiders come along, it is important that they also find your blog contents speedily.

I have been blogging for a few years. When I first started out, I used Google Ad Sense as my advertising network. As a publisher, it was easy to sign up with Google and soon after I began earning money on my blog. However, overtime I got disappointed with my results. Why?

As the automatic ads kept changing, sometimes they seemed on target, but other times they were way off target.

Overtime, I started looking for another solution. That’s when I discovered there are many other advertising networks, many of which I realised quickly would be better suited for my website.

Blog what you love, and the money will follow

Recently, I was trying to persuade a friend of mine to start a blog. Having learnt first-hand the joy of creating passive income, I wanted my friend to also start a blog that he could monetize and use to create wealth.

My friend is both a huge fan of Scotch, and also an excellent writer. Yet, when I suggested that he start a blog about exploring Scotch, he stated "but I am not an expert".

"Adapt or die" is a famous reference to Darwin's "natural selection" theory, which I also think has relevancy in both business and professional blogging. One way bloggers can differentiate themselves these days is to adopt a social media strategy.
