What the Hell is Blogging?

What the hell is blogging reaally about? All of a sudden, why are there so many bloggers? Well, a blog may be used to express the thought or feeling of the author, but did you know that you could make money through blogging?

What is Blogging and Who is Niche?

What the heck is a blogging? Blogging is making one or more entries in a chronological diary of sorts, available for anyone to see, and (often) for anyone to leave remarks upon. A closed blog offers no posting to outsiders, however it may provide a little box in which others may leave a comment about any post. To make a blog profitable, you would always write about only one topic, and then embed and surround it with related products or services.

Sometimes you want to rebel against big-volume search terms people are using. If your blog is too broad in topic and using hugely-used keywords, right there you lose the power of niche marketing. Why? Because in the big pond there are many fishermen competing for your sweet spot on the golden shores of Google search engine results. But if you are clever, you w2ill seek out a smaller, hungry pond where nobody else is fishing.

You would keyword every title, every button, every sentence on your site to encourage search engines to offer your site to a specific group of people who enter searches for your keywords. Often these people enter specific-but-rare search terms when searching for your product or information. Find out what these oddball search terms are, and you have yourself a niche.

A niche is simply a lesser-used but still popular search term. Here is an example. If a million people are digging for gold somewhere, chances are a lot of folks are searching for "shovels". To find a niche within that hot topic of gold mining, you might look to find out how many people are searching not for shovels, but rather for "mining tools". That small group of searchers (within a hot topic of gold mining) can be gotten to. How? By tuning your shovel site to present to search engines "mining tools" on your site vs. "shovels". So right there, by merely changing your key words by which Google identifies you, you now are the only guy showing up when they enter that search term. Voila. You are now the biggest presence online to that smaller group of hungry searchers, and so the odds of them buying YOUR shovel has jumped. A lot.

Recognizing niches is not rocket science, but keyword research services can speed things along. Some of these are free, and some operate on a monthly service fee. Either way, you have to stay alert and work your site frequently to find and optimize niches that fit your site’s interests. Sometimes you can find a niche and then build a site and product around it from the ground up. There really is very little "passive" about this kind of income. You have to work and think and stay on top of your game. Use fresh content, create backlinks, and style key words to bump your SEO.
