1. Strategy: Blogs
Very simple but yet effective strategy is blogging. Blogging is good from couple of aspects, like:
- Blogs are free to create
- There are many different blogging services to use with different and very flexible features;
- Very important – blogs are search engine friendly content management systems (CMS) that can achieve high rankings in search engines even without knowing much about technical aspects of search engine optimization.
Here are few examples on what to write blogs:
- Blogs can be used to create diary about ones progress using some enlargement method. By posting different feelings, aspects, pictures, can create an interaction with audience.
- Another solution is using MoreNiche’s content articles and using them create different niche blogs, e.g. about exercises or SizeGenetics extender or weight loss products.
- Blog of course can be used as any regular website as long it allows customizing navigation, setting up categories.
What would be the blog strategy that works?
Basically the main goal is to create little blog network of 5-20 blogs that are on close topics to each other as well they should be aiming for low competition search terms. Usually it means either low searched term or also terms that are 3-4 and more words long.
Key factor in blogging is to have keyword rich content and then link it between blogs and other sites targeting these specific keywords and pages. See MoreNiche linking guide for more details.
Each blog should be updated with 1-2 posts every other day or so. Blogs should achieve 10 or more posts each.
In a month’s time it would be quite realistic to achieve 100 visitors a day and earnings of $500 to 1000$ per month. Of course, some blogs will produce better and some not. Some will achieve higher rankings some will support these with links.
Of course, also one blog can be doing well as it would be easier to create unique content and gain more links. Regarding unique content and how to create it from MoreNiche content articles – see guide on avoiding duplicate content.
