Have you ever dreamed of becoming rich and famous? Of course, everybody does, but not everyone have what it takes to be a movie star or a world famous supermodel.
But, have you ever considered that even regular people
and self-published authors or up & coming speakers
like you can become famous through blogging? Indeed,
blogging can bring you fame and it can even make you
rich. (Or at least get you some good PR buzz going) :)
As an author/speaker, you know that the key to
success sales is by getting targeted traffic in your website.
Targeted traffic is the type
of people that you want to visit your website and not
just anyone in the internet. To do this, you need to
advertise your products throughout the internet
through affiliate programs, banners, emails, article
publishing websites, and etc.
However, have you ever considered blogging as a tool
for marketing? A CREATIVE blog!
Basically, blogging is what people use today as a sort
of journal. Some use it as an outlet of their
frustrations by writing about it, others use it as a
diary where people put in everything that happened to
them on a particular day, but there are some people
who found out that blogging can be a great tool for
marketing.
You have to consider the fact that people do love to
read blogs. And, with the millions of people logging
in on the internet on a daily basis, you can just
imagine how many people might enter your blogging
website and read your blogs.
So, how can you market your products or services in a
blogging website?
Well first of all, you have to remember that you
should never treat blogs as a marketing tool although
this is your purpose for it. Instead, try treating it
as a way to communicate with other people. The last
thing that people wants to see in a blog is some
salesman trying to aggressively sell their wares on
the blogs they wrote.
So, how can you sell your products/books?
You'll be surprised as to how many ways you can market
your books. You have to remember that people don't
like salesmen trying to push their products up on
their faces. What they want is someone who is a
regular person like they are who knows a little
something about a particular thing, which is your
product.
What this means is that when you write blogs, never
try to be a salesman. Instead, you have to think like
a customer who tried your product and loved it. Ask
yourself what they would say about your product in a
blog. By thinking and writing like a customer, you
will be able to relate to other people. You will be on
their side and you will be their friend.
That is how you should market on blogs. You need to be
a customer who is satisfied with the products or
services you are selling and that you are simply want
people to know about it and that you recommend it. If
you believe in your product or services so much, then
you won't have any problems at all.
To make this even more believable, try adding some of
the pros and cons. But, don’t
emphasize the cons, just try to mention it.
Blogging can bring you tons of PR if you do it right.
Remember these tips and you will be well on your way
in making your blog "famous" as well as your business
and the book you are selling.
