finding one's niche

Since blogging has become a popular tool in promoting products or services, presenting news, or narrating simple day-to-day events, writers of all types have taken in the trend and have now created a new breed of writing which has quick access to instant publication. However, one problem bloggers face today is gaining followers or an audience who will keep on coming back to their blogs for updates. Usually, visitors will only drop by once upon invitation and never come back.

The first thing to ask is finding people who will be interested in what you have to write. So you have a blog. Make sure that your blog is meant only for a specific audience. It is a fatal mistake for some bloggers to attempt to write about anything under the sun. That was how I started with my first blog. I wrote about anything and everything that sparked my interest. When I heard about the importance of nicheing, I stopped and changed direction. I am now trying to steer my first blog into a specific niche in order to get a more targeted audience.

Finding one's niche is easy. The only thing you need to do is to know your passion, what ignites you, what interests you then write about this or these. If you have 3 different interests like automotive, home designing, and physical fitness, then youhave 3 different niches there. Yes, you can have as many blogs as you want depending on your interests.

This is the reason why I have created 4 blogs. I know of someone who has a dozen blogs and I learned of someone who intends to open 50 blogs. My four blogs contain my varied interests and passions:

Of course, my first interest is my life so I have http://offbeatmom.blogspot.com/ which contains a woman's, mother's, grandmother's day-to-day struggles. http://everydaywear.blogspot.com/ is my first blog ever which became the catch-all of all my past musings and is now being groomed to contain topics on education, teaching, public speaking, speech, and English as subject. My http://coolkidsparty.blogspot.com/ is all about important events, special occasions, milestones to which I got usually invited as emcee and finall this blog which contains anything having to do with money, improving one's site or blog, traffic, exchange links.

Have I finally found my niche? I think so. So they steps in finding your niche are:

Passion. Find your passion.
Write or blog about this. Use www.blogger.com or www.wordpress.com

Let people know about your existence via forums.
Update regularly.
Exchange Links.
Submit your url to many search engines.
Make money by putting adsense on your blog.

50 blogs

Fifty blogs by one person? Did I get this right?

A friend's blog gave me this info that he is coming up with 50 blogs. OMG! That would be like not getting any sleep anymore from all the updating and promoting work you have to do. Right now I am trying to make 4 blogs updated and honestly, it isn't like a breeze. Even the minds of geniuses could sometimes go blank or experience some drought moments that no matter how hard you try, nothing drips. Or is it a matter of practice? Which leads me to the next question and which I hope my friend Dale will come across to answer.

Does the quantity of your blogs spell additonal revenues? Let's say you got your 50 blogs to update and in each of these you have set up ads by Google the income of which all goes to your single account. Does this actually lead to increase your earnings? I would like to hear from those who have the opened many blogs. Are you getting enough revenues from them collectively?

time lost is money lost

My two days had been a nightmare without the internet. It means wasted time and we know that lost time means money lost.

I wasn't able to achieve my daily goal at Mylot and missed to update my blogs for a couple of days. For me, this is very bad.

What happened was our pc had to be repaired and virus-scanned because it had been misbehaving and would not let us access the internet. It had to stay at the shop (Algorithm) for two days. When it finally came home, people in the house got busy with their online tasks too, so I had to wait again.

I am wondering until now how my pc got the virus which made internet access impossible. Sometimes it could hurt the gadget beyond repair. I am glad that our pc is now virus-free. It is extremely boring not to have your pc around. As many people often say, it is not just the money, but the community.

go for legit sites

Many people have expressed how much they had spent time, effort, and money on sites that promised to give them big bucks but turned out later on to be scams. I became a vicitim of such when I signed up for a blog host that said would pay but disappeared when payout time came. Enough is enough. You've been scammed, I'd been scammed, no more of these. The best place to go when we are looking for legitimate sites would be another legitimate site. Why look elsewhere when Google has it all for you right before your very eyes? While it is true that there are indeed work-from-home sites that really pay, we need to also consider the fact that there are those who do not. How do you know that certain sites are real? Google them. Or you might want to go directly to a list of legit sites, you can also do that. But one thing is sure. Just look around and you actually have these sites right before your very eyes. Why go far? Why search high and low when they are happening right here?

We've had enough of scams. It is time to get serious in getting real online work. It is time to go after legitimate sites only. There is indeed a goldmine awaiting for us to discover.
