Blogging for Women

Hey there,

Something that is lovely about blogging is the community aspect of it. I’ve found an online blogging community full of women bloggers that is both interesting and supportive with sharing ideas, thoughts and kindnesses.

So come along and check it out http://www.blogher.org/  It is free and easy to be a member. Plus you can learn lots about blogging as well as other things you’re interested in.

Come Visit our Catherine Popesco La Vie Parisienne earrings and pins!

These beautiful pieces make great presents.

Catherine is rediscovering the golden period of Art Nouveau and Art Deco by reinvigorating original molds and stampings designed in the early 20th century.

The discovery by Catherine Popesco of displays of antique stamped jewelry in the Marais district of Paris inspired her to bring these luminous designs back to life for contemporary society. Her workshop in France brings together highly skilled artisans who’ve kept the traditional techniques alive through years of change.

Also known internationally as La Vie Parisienne, Catherine’s work is much sort after.

Boutique Jewelry Stores carry Catherine’s work, not the big chains because the antique enamel jewelry designs are handcrafted using Swarvoski crystals, and are not massed produced.

Free Tips for How to Start an Online Business While Working Full Time Part 2

Hey there,

Here’s part 2 in our series on how to start your own business while working full time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Getting your first paying advertiser can be quite easy by starting out with Google Adwords. Google pays a variable click through rate for their ads and tailors the ads to your blog using key words.

You might find using the main click through advertising players and affiliate programs to be the best option for advertising. You can also have a link to more info about advertising on your site and have a rates program for advertisers - either as banner ads or Pay-Per-Click advertising. You can approach businesses directly as well as having them come to you.

The trick is to keep learning as you go while building the income and the content.

Blogs don’t have to require a lot of writing on your part. Entries can be small and you can always get yourself a blog editor to manage the writing side of things if writing isn’t your thing.

For more info about blogs and blogging check our Blogging category and explore from there!

Free Tips for How to Start an Online Business While Working Full Time Part 1

Hey there,

Many of us want to change the cycle of working for someone else and want to have additional sources of income.

Where to start and how to make it happen can be one of the most challenging things. Where ever you start you’re going to be learning as you go and the initial learning curve will be steep. But that’s nothing to fear, that’s just how it goes.

So you might have a great big idea that you’re sure will make you millions but you don’t know where to start. You might have no idea and want to find the big idea. Either way its best to start with something that you can learn with so you can make that big idea work the best it can.

Learn on something simple that it doesn’t matter if you make some mistakes. For the really big ideas you want as few mistakes as possible and as much success as possible.

So how about starting out with a blog that generates income? You can start with a few blog for the first few months so you can build up your content to then attract paying advertisers. While you are in this phase you can explore and learn more about blogging, what blogs are generating income and how they are doing it. You can also be listing your blog with various blog directories and work on key words. All of this is a learning phase that is also building the content foundations for your blog.

When you’re ready you can upgrade to a fancier service that you pay for. This cost is then covered by the advertising income you bring in. More coming in Part 2 tomorrow - where to get your first paying advertiser.

Making Money from Writing and Blogging

Hey there,

I’ve recently joined a blogging forum and one of the members I came across earns income from writing content for other people’s business blogs.

For those of us who love blogging and writing this is a great way to combine both and earn money from it.

Business blogs always need content and often need help in making it happen. So a way to bring all together is to scout round for the blogs you think you can write for, develop some content examples or range and approach the business blogs on your short list to sell your material.

It can range from writing entries periodically or on a regular basis - an entry a day or 3 per week. It can also develop into blog maintenance and development.

If you get a collection of blogs to work on then you can create more income from it. The lady I saw doing it had 2 income generating business blogs, one creational blog and also management development and content for others and she’s loving the lifestyle!

This is really something that you can build up progressively even when working full time or part time, raising a family, growing another business and/or studying.

Benefit of having a blog and email newsletter

Hey there,

As you probably know by now I have both an email newsletter as well as a blog. While some visitors check out both there are others who are only newsletter readers or only blog readers so it is beneficial for my business to have both.

The email newsletter has more details and a variety of pictures with links to the site and is sent out to my subscription list, it also announces the regular jewelry competition winners.

The blog has shorter pieces and only one picture per entry. It is found by others on the net and is not sent directly to customers - links to it are in the newsletter but that is to the blog.

Blogs can also bring more visitors to your site as they are well linked with search engines and have good results with them.

I see having a blog and a newsletter as having two different formats and avenues for communicating with potential and existing customers and find both beneficial. This could be good for your business too.

How can I get more blog reader interaction?

Hey there,

Something I enjoy about my blog is the direct communication between me and you. It comes through via the comments as well as emails and of course visits to the website.

So here are some free tips about getting blog reader interaction:

* let people add comments to your entries

* have email contact from your blog

* setup a chat forum or discussion board

* a tag board or shout box can be added to your blog for quick communication

* free blog polls for quick feedback

Some free blog services are a little limiting on what you can add to your template but many of the basic fee based blogs let you add them.

Creating a Free Blog

Hey there,

Having a blog is easy but when you’re starting out you usually have lots of questions and need the answers.

A blog is a web log - an online journal - that is regularly updated (daily, weekly, fortnightly etc) with entries.

Special techology is used to the entries but it doesn’t take special skills to set up and run a blog. You can get a free blog from a heap of places. I use www.blog.com for mine and am very happy with it.

You can add pictures to your blog either by copying them in or uploading them to your blog supplier. I copy in the pictures for the entries and have uploaded the images in the Album area. Once you figure out how to do it - follow the instructions offered by the blog service - it is easy.

Blogs are great ways to communicate and are quite addictive. Once you get into it you keep on going!

For a Blog FAQ by Jennifer Kyrnin click here!

Earring stands are great for showcasing your favourite earrings so you get to enjoy them even more!

Cheers

Belinda
