Blogging Big

If you're on your way to expanding your blogging empire. surely there comes a point when you can't really make much when you blog yourself, right? Let's take a look at what the big dogs are doing. Have you heard names like 9rules, b5media, gawker media, Weblog, Inc? Do you what they are? They are blog networks. And they are worth millions. Well, one guy (let's call him Mr. P) just recently spilled the beans on how you can hire bloggers and start your own blog network. And yes, he runs one too. By hiring bloggers, you get more manpower to publish more original content on a regular basis, and less spammy regurgitation. Creating a blog network is more than just about blog monetization. It can turn into a real, mature multi-million dollar business based on community building (along a Web 2.0 path). So make sure you get the message about outsourcing to bloggers in the Blogging Big audio. If not, you can also read the PDF transcript for easy reference.

Introducing Andrew Hansen!

Posted August 21st, 2007. Filed under Internet Marketing

Andrew Hansen

I think I'm beginning to grow to become his fan. Andrew is in his early 20s and hails from Gold Coast, Australia, but that doesn't stop him from becoming more successful than most marketers especially when it comes to niche marketing.

These are a few of his resources I want to feature today:

1) The Niche Marketing Insider: This is where he provides free niche marketing tips, everything from finding niches to driving traffic, all the tips and info you could ask for. There is no cost to sign up and you will literally get months worth tips training and education as good as any you'd otherwise pay for online. You can download "Squidoo Profits" for free too.

Niche Empire Generator

2) Niche Empire Generator: Good news for niche marketers, here’a another helpful resource for your learning.

If you hadn’t heard, Andrew Hansen teaches a method of creating super profitable mini-sites that revolves around the creation of ever SEO-friendly but very specifically designed and researched WordPress blogs…

On his page he has some testimonials that demonstrate how powerful these blogs really are. One of his students made over $700 in her first month with just ONE of these blogs.

People who start in Niche Marketing often find that it can be hard to maintain and manage more than a few mini-sites because updating the sites, managing them, and still having time to build more to grow the empire is too much of a task, but that’s about to change.

May 9th saw the release of what we think is to be a revolutionary piece of software for Niche Marketers.

It is called Niche Empire Generator

If you’re thinking this program is another site generator you’d be hugely mistaken. As the name suggests this thing can actually give you the ability to build and manage a niche site EMPIRE, all from one single control panel.

What exactly do I mean by this?

Well, to give you an idea, owners of this software now have:

1. The power to be able to create profitable niche sites at light speed. This includes:

- Adding AdSense and affiliate links to your sites with the click of a button, no editing HTML code.

- Adding a theme or template that you want the blog to have, with one click.

- Adding CONTENT, to your site, any content you choose, formatted however you choose, with your chosen links automatically embedded.

- Adding and activating a bunch of WordPress plugins to ensure your blog is easy to navigate, super SEO-friendly, social bookmarking benefiting, and much more, in fact with no clicks, all automatic…

- Submitting your sites RSS feed to RSS directories on the web for instant backlinks and exposure for your site.

- Automatically pinging the major ping services, helping your sites get ranked in the SEs faster.

2. The ability to have those sites frequently and automatically updated. You can select what content you want to be posted to the blog and WHEN it is to be posted, at any date in the future PLUS it will automatically assign intervals that you chose so you don’t have to select a date each time.

3. It can do this for as MANY blogs as you create, running an empire of blogs for you automatically!

4. It manages each of your sites from a single control panel. If you want to change any feature of any site you have ever made, update anything manually, OR check where your site is ranking in the search engines (to know how much more work has to be done on it) you can also do so from a single control panel.

If you are looking to increase your online income with minimal additional effort we strongly recommend you get yourself a copy of this software today.

This new 29-page killer report shows proof of results not by him, but by his students making hundreds in a matter of week! You NEED this report for cutting-edge ideas that really puts its own price tag to shame.

Niche Marketing On CRACK 

4) Niche Marketing On CRACK: Andrew Hansen's biggest secret method in identifying and marketing insanely profitable niches has the following 5 characteristics:

1. First, look at search traffic. You want to know how much search traffic something is getting just to know whether it has been enjoying a good amount of attention or not.

2. Look at competition. You want to know how many pages are competing for a keyword or term. You want terms that have under 500,000 results in the Google search engine only. Anything else is too much effort.

3. Look at 'competitiveness'. You want to know how good the competition in a niche is. Sometimes you can have a niche where there's not many sellers/affiliates but somehow that small amount of competition there is totally ROCKS and you can't beat them even if you try. A lot of people don't realize that! If you know the situation and how to overcome this, your marketing journey will be a whole lot easier.

4. Look what products are in that niche. You want to know that if you enter this niche, there are products that you can either sell or develop easily that will ACTUALLY sell. You don't want to waste time driving traffic to a site that doesn't convert visitors into buyers!

5. Look at the 'nature' of a market. There are certain features of a market that allow me to know whether people are making money in this market or not. It doesn't necessarily mean there is competition but by analyzing certain features you can see if people are making money there, then go about making money in that market, but DIFFERENTLY to what they do.

You see, Andrew has a consistent knack for tapping on niches that are small, tucked away, hidden but insanely profitable. He makes his money online without doing hours of complicated optimization or research. The key breakthrough starts with selecting the right market, so everything else becomes easy. You get your rankings faster, traffic faster and make money faster. And not only faster but easier!

It's one of the reasons he called his e-book "Niche Marketing On CRACK" and in it he reveals
his personal system for successful niche marketing right from the beginning. His way of selecting a perfectly defined and uncompetitive niche of a certain kind turns everything most people know about SEO and traffic generation on its head!

eBay to Be Rival of Craigslist in Online Classifieds.

Posted August 21st, 2007. Filed under News

Ebay introduces new online classified advertising service called Kijiji in US; new service pits eBay against company it partly owns: Craigslist, company that manages classified ad sites for 300 cities, which attract 12 million new ad listings each month; Ebay bought 25% stake in Craigslist in 2004.

EBay, the Internet auction leader, has quietly introduced a new online classified advertising service in the United States.

The new service, called Kijiji, pits eBay, based in San Jose, Calif., against a company it partly owns: Craigslist, the San Francisco-based company that manages classified ad sites for 300 cities, which attract 12 million new ad listings each month. EBay bought a 25 percent stake in Craigslist in 2004.

Kijiji, which means "village" in Swahili, is one of eBay's several classified advertising efforts outside the United States. It is the market leader in Canada, Germany, Italy and Taiwan.

EBay introduced the Kijiji site in the United States without fanfare last Friday, a move that was reported yesterday on the Web site of The Wall Street Journal. The new site has separate classified ad pages for 220 cities and allows users to buy and sell items in a variety of categories like antiques, cars, motorcycles and pets.

"This is going to be our classified ad play in the United States," said an eBay spokesman, Hani Durzy. "We look at it as competition to Craigslist and other platforms. But we think there is room for competition." Mr. Durzy said eBay was planning to keep its stake in Craigslist.

EBay plans to attract users to its new site by buying advertisements on search engines and by ensuring that listings appear in unpaid, or natural, search engine results. There are no plans to direct eBay traffic to the site, Mr. Durzy said.

Craigslist's chief executive, Jim Buckmaster, said, "One of the beauties of viewing our world through public service goggles is that there is no need to worry about what other companies are doing.

"Many companies offer classifieds, but since we don't concern ourselves with considerations such as market share or revenue maximization, we don't think of them as competition, or as a challenge to Craigslist."
