5 Reasons Why Your Next Big Idea Might Fail‏

If you're anything like me, new business ideas run through your brain each and every day. Sometimes, we come across a few particular ideas that we just can't stop thinking about - because they are that good!
 
I think you know what I'm talking about.
 
Constant brainstorming, rapid note taking, and visions of success are all symptoms of this sort of "business bug". 
 
Many times, however, after a couple of days or even a couple of months, the motivation behind these great ideas just seem to die out and never evolve into the next step.  It's kind of sad, because I'm sure many of those ideas were awesome, money-making ideas.
 
If we can understand why this happens, then I think we can stop the momentum from slowing down and start taking things to the next level. Here are 5 main reasons why I think ideas in our head take a turn for the worse:
 
1. We're Not Seeing Any Results
 
We live in a time where we all want things to happen FAST. I mean, Google searches take .000012 seconds, and we all perform these searches each and every day. It's what we're used to.
 
Ideas take time to materialize, so quitting or giving up before anything even begins to happen is a sure-fire way to kill a great idea. Remember what your goals are and why you were so excited about your idea in the first place.
 
One trick I learned is to map out your "path"or roadmap. Write down the steps you think it takes to get to where you want to go, and you'll see that you're only in the beginning phases of the entire process. But, seeing the rest of your "roadmap" (including your goal) on paper will definitely give you the boost you need to keep going.
 
2. We're Unsure of What To Do Next
 
This happens all of the time, but it definitely shouldn't stop us. We've just reached a hurdle, and we just have to do a little more research (or simply ask someone for help!), in order to jump over it.
 
Also, you can go back to your "roadmap" and see what the next steps are. And, remember to take things one step at a time.
 
"Cinch by the inch, hard by the yard."
 
3.  We Just Don't Care Anymore
 
For whatever reason, you've lost sight of why you're working so hard. When it comes to motivation, here's what you can do:
  • Remember why you were so excited about your idea in the first place! Envision what life will be like at the end of the tunnel.
  • Read an inspirational book. My favorites are Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk, and The 4-Hour WorkWeek, by Tim Ferriss.
  • Display your favorite quotes. At my desk, I have this quote posted up on the wall next to my computer: "The Harder I Work, The Luckier I Become." Reading that always gets me going again.
  • Talk it out with someone. If you're feeling low on energy, sometimes all we need is a pick me up from a buddy. That's why so many people say it's a lot easier to go to the gym or stay on a diet if there's someone else there with them.
  • Take a quick break. We often work on something so much that we forget why we're doing it. Take a day or two off, and you'll often see the motivation come back in no time. 
4. We're Not Sure if Our Idea is as Great as We Thought it Was
 
Maybe you're having second-thoughts about your idea. Maybe it's not as awesome as you thought. This is the thought that pops into my head more often than the others, and it's definitely a downer. But here's what you can do to keep your idea alive.
 
Simply put - think positive thoughts. Have you ever heard of "The Law of Attraction"? It basically states that people's thoughts dictate the reality of their lives. In other words, think positively, and positive things will happen to you.
 
Also, you have to realize that you're not going to succeed unless you give it a shot. What's the worst that can happen? If you're doing business online, the worst is probably not as bad as you think it could be.
 

5. We See Someone Else Doing Something Similar, and It Seems Better
 
Okay, so someone "stole' your idea, or they beat you to it. Either way, it doesn't matter. Here's why:
  • That fact that you see someone else doing something similar to what you had in mind is actually a good thing! In fact, it shows that it was such a great idea, that others are already using it to make money for themselves. There's a proven market for it, and now it's your turn to join in.
  • The Dry Cleaners Theory: Have you ever noticed how many dry cleaners there are in one location? Here in San Diego, there are over 600 (according to the yellow pages). My point is this: you don't need have a unique idea in order for it to succeed. And if there a need for something, there's always room for more options and solutions in the market.
  • Lastly, all you have to do is make yours better. Put some thought into why people will choose to visit your website, read your content, and purchase from you, instead of someone else.
I know this was a rather long email, and I do apologize about that. But I hope you would agree that staying on course and jumping over hurdles is the backbone for the success of any business or blog, which is why I spent some extra time on this email.
 
In my next email, we'll move away from the mindset stuff and start to get into some "action-taking" items that will help immediately your online business or blog. Until then, thank you so much for your time and support!
 
All the best to you! Cheers!
 

5 Reasons Why You Fail To Build Your Blog Readership

5 Reasons Why You Fail To Build Your Blog Readership

Blogging needs efforts to grow and build its value for both readers as well search engines.
Just receiving traffic is not the goal of any blogger. The thing which we need is a powerful readership around our blog.
We need readers to read our content not just visitors who come and go back to another place for the information they are looking for.
One more thing we all know that readership is based on traffic. If you are receiving decent traffic then there are major chances to build readership. But readership is not totally dependent on traffic.
It depends on many factors which I’ll discuss today in this post and the reasons why bloggers fail to build strong and powerful blog readership.5 Reasons Why You Fail To Build Your Blog Readership
5 Reasons Why You Fail To Build Your Blog Readership

1. Writing Content for Search Engines

Most of newbie bloggers, when they start their blog, start posting anything they like to post without any proper knowledge of how to right best content.
Your content should not target the search engines. Try to right something under your niche that your readers like to read. If they like your content then they bring new traffic to your blog and also convert from visitors to readers.



  • 12 Tips For Writing Engaging Content For Readers

2. Not Active on Social Media Sites

Social Media sites have proved themselves that they have the audience which you want for your business.
There are millions of regular visitors on major social media sites like facebook, twitter and now on Google Plus too. If you are not active on these great sources of traffic sites then you are really missing targeted audience as well valuable readers.

3. Poor Relationships with Existing Readers

I have examined many blogs where nobody is there to solve reader’s queries and doubts.
Blog owners just post content and sit relax.
They never take interest to communicate with their readers by replying to their comments. If you are also doing same then start communicating today with your readers because readers at early stage of blog are very important.
You should not ignore them if you are serious for your blogging goals.

4. Not Participating in Blogger’s Communities

Blogger’s communities and forums are one of the best sources of receiving targeted audiences.
There are numberless readers who are communicating from each other to share their views and ideas on particular topic. If you are not participating in those communities then really you are not fairing with your blog.
Generating quality content for your blog is not enough if you are not able to reach it to the correct audience. There are lot of big blogs with a strong readership and you have to target those readers. Start participating today in below best blog communities and forums to gain more exposure for your blog.
  • Bloggers.com
  • BlogAdda.com
  • IndiBlogger.in (An Indian Blogger’s Directory)
  • Forums.DigitalPoint.com
  • SitePoint.com/forums

5. Poor Consistency

One of the main reasons to fail to maintain blog readership is the consistency by which you are updating your blog.
You may be heard that we should post regularly to increase blog traffic but if you are not consistent with your blogging timings then you can never taste the real readership.
Your readers should be aware with your posting timings so that they can land on your blog at that time to read what you have written new in your blog. It will not only increase your blog readers but also you will gain trust of readers and search engines also by showing that you are really serious about your blog.

Some tips to increase blog traffic:


#1 PPC Advertising Networks

PPC (pay-per-click) advertising options are pretty amazing and widely used way to monetize a blog. The whole idea basically revolves around displaying certain ads on your blog and in return you get paid each time a person clicks on the ad displayed on your blog.
Now the question arises that who actually displays ads on your blog? You in fact, as a blogger, sign ups with certain popular PPC Advertising networks like Google AdSense or Yahoo Publisher Networks (YPN). Once your account is created, you can then create certain Ad Units from their dashboard panels and then paste the code on your blog.

You may like to read:


pay per click ppc

After a few minutes, once the code is processed, the ads tend to show up at the spot where you pasted the code (say sidebar). Now, the type of ads are in your control. In case of Google AdSense, you could choose between Image only ads/ Text ads or Image+text ads.

What Happens At The Back End?

Different advertisers tend to sign up with Google AdWords. A certain advertisers would submit their Ad units to Google. They would choose certain keywords to target their Ads in a certain niche. So, bidding basically takes place at back end and when a certain advertisers wins the bid for a certain ad spot on your blog, his ads would then be displayed at your sidebar.

How Much Do You Get Paid For Each Click?

Now this is a pretty common question that many newbies tend to have in their mind. There is no fixed set of rate for each click for any PPC program. The amount you get paid through the click depends upon the bid and the type of ads (text/ image etc) that get displayed on your blog.
There is a huge variation on the cost per click. Certain blog tend to get as high as 100$ per click! BUT thats too rare. Normally you would see your self getting 0.5 to 1 $ at most.

adsense revenue

The key to make money through this factor (PPC Ads) is the amount of traffic you get and the type of niche you lie in. There are certain niche that would hardly get any clicks. The reason lies in the type of visitors that you get. 
If the visitors are high tech people, who knows much about online world, then they would surely know about the actual content and the ads on your blog and thus would surely not click on them.

Popular CPC Advertising Options:



#2 Direct Banner Ads

Direct advertising methods is another one of the most popular ways to monetize your blog once it has a decent flow of traffic. Anything above 1000 visitors per day can be easily called a decent audience. Though there is no set rule obviously but i added that figure to give you a general idea (a rough one) of what one can call a decent traffic to a blog/website.

So, direct advertisement is a method where bloggers make out their own 'Advertise' page on their blog and showcase their blog's traffic, different set of metrics like Alexa etc.

banner advertisement


The plus point with selling Ad Spots directly to the advertisement parties is the fact that you tend to cut down the middle man cost. With all those PPC of CPM networks or even BuySellAds, that is a direct advertisement company that works as a middle man to let you sell your ad spots, your overall earning get low as these companies take down their own share.

With you selling ad banners directly (through your Advertise Us page), the entire game is between you and the advertisers.

You may like

What Are The Popular Ad Banners Dimensions?


Normally, leader board AdSpot (728x90 px), Rectangle (250x250 px) or Large Rectangle (300x250 px), Small Horizontal banner (468x60 px), Square (125x125 px) works the best.

It is always a good idea to use these standard dimensions for your ad spots as that would help you attract more advertisers (as advertisers have already made up ads for those standard dimensions normally for their advertisement campaigns).

#3 CPM (Cost Per Mille) Advertisement

As the name suggest, Cost Per Mille is another advertisement option (very popular with the high traffic blogs circle), depends upon the cost that you would set per 1000 impressions (page views). Say you would set 5$ CPM.

That means that you would charge your advertiser 5$ per 1000 impressions that your AdSpot gets. Note its important to highlight here that CPM varies with the Ad positioning. The ads that appear above the fold tends to enjoy high CPM rates while the ones in the footer of below post, has pretty low CPM.

cost per millie ads


There is a huge variation between the price that you need to ask for your blog's per 1000 impressions. That totally depends upon your blog's niche, the Ad Spot size and its placement. Anything in the header would get the maximum impressions so thus you have the full right to ask for maximum CPM from the advertisers.

Popular CPM Advertising Options:


#4 Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is considered to be the king income source for bloggers in today's online arena. Most of the top blogger (probloggers) who are earning 6 figure + per year are for sure working out their ways with affiliate marketing world.

Before we move on, you may like to read:

affiliate marketing model

What is Affiliate Marketing In General?

Say you build a product of your own. For example an ebook. Now you wish to sell it online but you are not supported with just enough funds for advertisement to make your eBook reach out to the world. What could you possibly do?

Most of the product owners then move towards affiliate marketing. They would offer people a certain commission over the sales of the eBook. You would make couple of banners for the eBook publicity. Then your affiliates would promote your eBook over their blogs/websites and link back to the sales page (or any other sales processing system).

Once the visitor buys an eBook through your affiliates, they would get a certain percentage of commission of the total sale make. The rest goes to you :)

Thats a pretty healthy system of promoting your product and works like a charm. People even offer 70+% commission to their affiliates. Now you could imagine what sort of wonders could such product promotion could play.


How Could You Do Affiliate Marketing?


To be brief, as i am just listing general money making ways from blog here in this post, there are few different strategies when affiliate marketing is concerned.

You could either promote products from standalone companies. Like promoting a hosting service (hostgator etc) on your blog, or you could promote a certain eBook by the top bloggers.

Apart from that, you could join the affiliate market places and choose the products from there. Personally i would say this works great as these companies have build reputation for them selves over the years and have a proper system of checkout, records, stats etc and would really help you in boosting your overall sales.


Popular Affiliate Market Places:


#5 Text Link Based Ads

Text link ads is a tricky one. The advertisers basically pay you to add certain text links within your blog post and you need to make sure that you provide them with a dofollow backlink. Obviously thats what they are paying for (traffic + some page rank flow).

in text ads

How Could This Effect Your Google Rankings?


Its now a solid fact that the more you would link to low quality sites with irrelevant content to your site, it would surely effect your blog's search engine rankings. So it would work great if only you could make sure that you link to a site that is both high quality plus relevant to your niche.

Other wise its just like getting paid to destroy your own empire.

#6 Sponsored Reviews

Sponsored Reviews are pretty high paying methods to make money with your blog for sure. Though it depends upon the place where your blog stands in terms of both popularity, traffic, stats/metrics etc but you could still make few bugs in any case.

How Sponsored Reviews Works?


You basically, as a blogger, promote certain products by writing a blog post of around 200-400 words (depends upon the terms and conditions of the advertiser) and get paid in return. The advertiser in return gets dofollow backlink to their product site, plus traffic in general.

sponsored reviews


Another way to earn money through sponsored reviews is without a blog where you write direct reviews for the company as (kind of) testimonials. But as its out of topic, so i wont go in that subject. Its pretty fun though :)

Popular Sponsored Review Sites:


#7 Monetization Widgets

Monetizingg widgets are basically like those Amazon affiliate widgets where you just need to install them on your blog (say sidebar) and they would tend to you different sort of ads. There are different types of monetization widgets like the ones who would show PPC ads, Affiliate ads etc.

But the general idea remains the same that its a widget that displays ads (image or text links) within them and you get paid accordingly.



Popular Monetization Widgets Sources:


#8 Finding Sponsors For Different Sections Of Blog

This revenue stream works well on popular blogs that have huge traffic. The reason being that the advertiser tends to limit their advertising campaign to a specific portion of your blog and thus the audience likewise narrows down.

Say you ask advertisers to sponsor your interview section of your blog, or say if you run a blog based on dog's care, so you might want to ask for a sponsorship for your dog's food section. Thats the general idea.

So you would promote the advertisers site/product etc on that particular section (only on that page/label/category of your blog).

You could ask for sponsors directly through your blog's Advertise Us section as another source of advertisement apart from the generic ad banners etc.


#9 Monetize Your Blog's RSS Feed


As you apply ads on your blog, the same way you could monetize your blog's RSS feeds. The most popular combination is of applying Google AdSense on Feedburner feeds. You could also sell ad spots directly for your blog's feed in case you use a feed burning tool that lets you edit your feed in such a way.



Popular Feed/Monetization Options:


#10 Earning Via Private Forums


Another possibility for you to earn through your blog is via a private forum. Say your blog gets popular enough that gets huge traffic and you were able to build a community over a period of time. Then it would be the right time to open up a private forum with a certain member ship fee.

For the forum to get working, you obviously need to provide something unique to the members that isn't available to the generic visitors of your blog. That can be some secret techniques, you personnel experience to something that you normally don't share on blog in general or that can be anything.

seo hat forum


A good example would be Problogger.com (forum) by Darren Rowse of Problogger.net. Its a paid forum (not sure about the membership fee though). Likewise we have SEOBlack hat who charge around 100$ per member monthly. Their forum is for sure high quality and satisfies the members.

Below are the popular forum building tools/software that you can use to start a new one for you blog.

 

#11  Exclusive Offers/ Content


You could start an exclusive offers on your blog where you could give a certain portion of the products for free and then charge on after a certain threshold. Say make out your own product. You can make that available for free for a certain period of time/of use age limit and then charge a certain free from the users.

#12 Introducing Job Boards


You could introduce Job boards on your blog (once it gets enough traffic, popularity). People could post jobs there and you could charge them in return for the listing. The cost totally depends upon you but in general, people ask for around 10-100 $ per listing.

job boards


Its getting pretty common to see popular bloggers to open up their own job boards. Take an example of Problogger.net.

Depends upon the popularity of your blog.

Popular Jobboards Making Software/Programs:

#13 Paid Surveys / Polls


There are sites that would pay you to run surveys on your site/blog. That can be polls too. In general they would take use of the hard earned traffic that you have built over the years and would pay you to judge your audience on a certain scale.

These programs normally pay as per CPM (Cost per Mille) style. So the more your traffic is, the more your worth.


Below is a popular Paid to Survey/Polls program:

 

#14  Selling/Renting An Internal High Page Rank/ High Traffic Page

This is another interesting way to monetize (make money) with your blog. Say one of your internal blog page has a high page rank/traffic, and you wish to rent it out. So the advertiser would get benefited from either the high page rank (say >6, random).

This model is pretty well utilized by milliondollarwiki. Though, obviously this monetization model wont work for small blogs with low page ranks and traffic. You got to provide some value to the advertiser.

#15 Ask For Donation smile


This is another way to make money out of your blog. But, its obviously not a big player. You could put a donation box/button beneath your each blog post and ask people to throw in some bugs smile. Your relation with your audience is pretty important in this regard.

Though this is a fun model for making money with a blog, i wont say that one could rely on it (obviously).


#16 Featuring Advertisers Posts


You could feature your advertisers post/articles that would link back to their sites. This would transfer a huge bunch of traffic to the advertisers site. Though this monetization model isn't quite popular, but still used on sites like Techmeme.com.

Notice their right side section that displays sponsored posts.


#17 Popup Ads


NOT a fan of them! You could implement popup ads on your blog if you're in need of some instant cash through your blog. The reason being that though popup ads have a high CTR (click through rate), thus would make quite a bit of money on short term basis, on long term, they would ruin your traffic and fan following.

popup advertisment


We all know how irritating these popup ads are.

Below are few popular Popup Ad networks:


#18 In-Text Advertisement


In-text advertisement is basically showing up ads in the form of text-links. When you signup with certain in-text advertisement companies, you then need to place their code in your blog template.

Then certain keywords (words) get highlighted in your blog posts automatically. This in-text ads are usually double-underlined (unlike single underlined links), showing that they are ads. Though you can set them to single dotted underlined too (through the settings).

infolinks ads bubble


This advertisement model works on PPC (Pay Per Click), that whenever someone clicks on the those in-text ads, you get paid a certain sum of money. The draw back of such advertisement is that they are extremely low paying (wont pay you more than 0.5$, and in most case much lower than that).

The good side is that their CTR is high so the net income depends.

Popular In-text Advertisement Options:


#19 Selling Your Blog


Now, interestingly, you could sell your blog and make a chunk of money. Some people tend to be the part of such a money making model. They work on couple of blogs to a point that they start getting some traffic and earns a bit of money too.

Then they would sell the blog at a low cost (still greater than 1000$ in most cases). They keep on repeating the same. But to make sure that your blog gets sold (and with a good payback), you need to grow it up a point where it starts earning some amount per month.

Other wise its a useless tool for the buyer.

Some Popular Market Places To Sell Your Blog:

#20 Audio Advertisement (CPP)


Cost-Per-Play advertisement model was introduced by netaudioads.  You basically put a certain audio ad on your blog. Each time a visitor gets to your blog, the audio ad (around 5 seconds long) would play (and would be unstoppable), and at the end, the reader would get redirected to your blog (from the audio ad).

Though this advertisement model can be high paying as it tends to provide 100% conversion, still it can be hell annoying, thus dropping your overall traffic and fan engagement.

audio ads

#21 Selling An eBook


You could sell an eBook on your blog. That would not only increase your subscriber base, plus is pretty effective in terms of making big money. People often build up a blog entirely around their eBook topic and promote it every where.

The ultimate call to action that they look for is to sell the eBook on the blog. You could promote the similar topics on the blog (via blog posts) that would encourage your audience to buy the eBook at the end of the day,

#22 Sponsored Tweets


Once you have build a huge fan following on social media via your blog, specially on Twitter, you can then use that subscriber base to send sponsored tweets. Depending upon the number of twitter followers your have, you could then charge accordingly.

I have noticed people asking for 50-100$ for around 10,000 Twitter followers that they have. It can vary a lot though. You could use BuySellAds as a middle man company or directly use this money making model via your advertise us page.

sponsored tweets

#23 Sponsored Email


Same as with Twitter followers, people (bloggers) who have built huge email lists can play wonders with this model for making money with your blog. Once you have thousands of email subscribers on your behalf, you can then earn a huge sum of money for promoting certain products to the email list, or send out a advertiser specific content to your subscribers.

For that purpose, you may wish to use an auto-responder service like aWeber to make your work smooth.

#24 Blog Hard Cover


Once you are an established blogger who have earned a name for his self in the blogosphere, you could then convert your blog (blog posts) into a real life hard book.
