Webmasters / Re: How Do I Attract Traffic To My Website? by sureblogger(m): 9:02pm On Sep 29, 2014
gsmalarm: I feel confused.

We have business website: http://www.hkvstar.com
Now this website with alexa rank: 352,022, Google PR:3

I have done everything to attract visitors including writing good articles (2 per week), and doing high PR backlinks.
Unfortunately, we can't reach our goal.
Writing post and SEO alone will not get you traffic. You need to take the content to the traffic, put yourself where the traffic hang out. Do you have a linkedin account, google plus and facebook, then make use of them.

Don't underestimate linkedin and google plus, join groups related to your niche or what you offer and share your post in these groups with a link back to your website. And if you need the traffic so bad but don't want to go through the rigor or getting it done by yourself, then you can outsource the process on fiverr. But be careful while doing this.

I have a new method I just discovered, trying it out to prove if it really works. Will update if it dose.

Business / Benefits Of Outsourcing To Your Business by sureblogger(m): 4:14am On Sep 26, 2014
Outsourcing is a term which has been receiving a great deal of attention lately. Actually I was first introduced to the world of outsourcing by Tim Ferriss through his book 4-Hour Workweek. But despite the increasing trend in companies and individuals relying on outsourcing to get some of their task done, there are still some who do not clearly understand what exactly the term outsourcing meant. Don’t worry, that is why you are here. In this post i will share some of the key elements of outsourcing, to help you develop a better understanding of the concept of outsourcing. So let us get down to business.

What is Outsourcing?

This is the all important most basic question many people ask about the subject of outsourcing. They are not yet ready to go into the complex aspects of outsourcing because they are yet grasped the most basic understanding of the subject and its process. In the simplest language, outsourcing is when you delegates the completion of certain tasks to another person. This individual may be an independent contractor or an employee of another company who is subcontracted to complete these tasks. In exchange for the individual’s services, he or she receives monetary compensation.

Outsourcing is when you give a task that you are less skilled or do not enjoy performing to another individual who is skillful in it and can do it perfectly, in exchange for monetary compensation. Outsourcing gives you time to concentrate on those task in which you are more skilled and can perform without stress. Outsourcing have a lot of benefits but that will be discussed when we get to the benefit of outsourcing.

Types of Outsourcing

Domestic outsourcing refers to outsourcing where both the primary parties involved are located are located in the same country or location. They can get to meet face to face and discuss the terms and conditions on which the outsourced job will be based on. Although one of the main reasons for outsourcing is to reduce costs but it is not always necessary to outsource work overseas to reduce costs. You can also get someone who will give you quality result on task at a fair price within your locality. Cost savings is also one of the benefits of outsourcing and i will be discuss in detail under benefits.

Offshore Outsourcing: Most people are already familiar with this type of outsourcing. For those who do not know what this is yet, with this type of outsourcing a large corporations such as Apple, and even some smaller companies, employ manufacturing plants overseas in third world countries such as India, China and some others to reduce their cost of production and upsize their profits. This is significant because their costs including wages, materials and building lease would be considerably higher in their home country let say in the United State for instance, than it would be in these other countries.

The good thing is that not only big corporations and companies alone can enjoy the benefit of outsourcing, you can run a successful business as an individual by outsourcing. There are a great deal of people outsourcing tasks to people on site such as fiverr, elance, freelancer, odesk and many more. Believe me most of the big names making it on the internet business scene have most of their task outsourced. The truth is that you can’t all alone do what it takes to be successful in business both online and offline.

Benefits of Outsourcing

By now you should have a clear understanding of what outsourcing is. Ok now that you have a clearer understanding of the concept of outsourcing, you might wonder why companies or individual would go through the trouble of outsourcing certain tasks? Outsourcing is becoming popular everyday and more people are coming to the awareness of it, because there are a great deal of benefits to the companies and individual who engages in outsourcing task. Some of the benefits include:

Reduced labor costs

One of the main reasons people or companies resort to outsourcing is the fact that it helps to reduce costs significantly. In the case of overseas outsourcing of manufacturing tasks, costs can be reduced dramatically because there are lower wages and costs associated with managing and maintaining the manufacturing plants. However, companies also enjoy cost savings when they outsource tasks domestically. Reduction of labor costs is the primary reason for outsourcing in this case. Independent contractors hired on a contract basis for the purpose of completing specific tasks are often not given benefits such as social security, Medicare and workers’ compensation and some other juicy benefits you would have to give to a regular employee or staff..

Increased workforce

Another benefit to outsourcing is that you get to enjoy a larger workforce without actually hiring additional employees. By maintain networking relationships with qualified individuals you will have more opportunities open to you because you will be able to rely on these individuals to assist you if you acquire large or complicated projects. And these army of qualified workforce are paid per project not on monthly like regular employees.

Greater flexibility

Finally, outsourcing gives you a great deal of flexibility. If you have a significant workload and backlog of work where the majority of your employees are highly utilized, you might be hesitant to compete for new works because you do not have a great deal of employee availability. However, with a network of individuals to rely on if the need to outsource arises, then you have more flexibility in pursuing new work. And outsource it to your army of outside workers.

Conclusion

Outsourcing is a great thing to practice especially if you want to accomplish more with your limited knowledge or skill. How can outsourcing be of benefit to blogging? fine the tasks involved with blogging sometimes can be overwhelming, from blog design and development, to writing article, to blog marketing, traffic, SEO and so many more. There is always a need to outsource some of these tasks and that is the reason why you must know about outsourcing and how it can help accomplish your desired result.

I have heard of someone who outsourced the reading of a book. He asked the person who he outsourced to, to read and summarize the important points in the book to him after reading it. What a wonderful world of outsourcing.

Webmasters / Re: User Testing Required For This AUTOMATED MARKETING WEBSITE by sureblogger(m): 4:17pm On Sep 17, 2014
Your site is great and the tool will be wonderful but since you said the site is still underconstruction i really have limited things to say.

1. Take the social indicator away from the home page.
2. Work on the website analyzer cos that is what most people will want to test out first. (you can check quicksprout.com and see what i mean)
3. The pricing why dont you make it in naira since its for nigerians or do you what to take it worldwide
4. Work on the Home page slider its kind of congested.

i will still check the site further. This is just a quick review as i am on the move right now, just said i should give a friend a quick one cos i saw your review bout my blog. Keep it up bro and dont forget that you promise to let me test run it when is finally done. wink

Webmasters / How To Choose A Niche | Www.sureblogger.com by sureblogger(m): 12:37am On Sep 16, 2014
A Niche is a small but specific and well defined segment of the population. Niches do not ‘exist’ but are ‘created’ by identifying needs, wants, and requirements that are being addressed poorly or not at all by other firms, and developing and delivering goods or services to satisfy them – Businessdictionary.com

A niche blog is targeted and specific in its offering. To better understand what a niche is, let’s explore this example – the football store. This is a niche business because the football store is only selling football equipment. They’re not selling basketball kits, they’re not selling golf sticks, they’re not selling swim suits. What they are selling are footballs, jerseys, football boots, goalkeeper gloves and what those interested in football want to buy. Oh!, they even sell red cards! But that’s okay because players like Suarez needs it. Lol

But why do you need to choose a niche?


You might be thinking why do you need to choose a niche. Is it not to start a blog and chunk out post as many as you can. If that’s your thought believe me you are totally wrong and on a path to failure. You see, there are several reasons why you need to choose a niche before you even think of setting up your blog. Infact it is the first thing you need to do if you want to have a successful blog.

Your niche determine your blogging fate. The success or failure of your blog or business is dependent on your niche of choice. Choosing a niche is the foundation that must first be laid before building your blog either a free or a self hosted one. Most people skip this all important part because of the groundwork involved (research) which they find boring.

Reasons why you must choose a niche

Help people know, like and trust you.
Before you read on, answer this simply question. Who would you rather make a purchase from, someone you see as a friend or total stranger? Guess someone you perceive as a friend. Choosing a niche makes people in that niche see you as one of them, part of their community or tribe, someone who understand their unique need, someone with whom they share a common interest – All these help you gain the trust of people in the niche and they will like you as one of them.

You are seen as expert
Thinking about this point the saying “jack of all trade, master of non” came to mind. When your blog is niche focused it would be hard for your readers or people who just stumble on your blog to identify you with a particular thing. But when you are a niche focused – with the quality of information and the degree of originality of your though, you will be seen as an expert and the go to person regarding that niche. Let me use this example to drive this point home – you will never take a cardiac patient to a general doctor. Did i heard you say NEVER!

Readers Appeal
You must have something you stand for, what you want to be known for, what you want you name or brand linked or associated with. If you don’t have any, people will never take you serious on any of your numerous skill or talent or topics you are talking about. Do you know why? No matter how multi-talented or multi-skilled you are you can never be 99.9% good in all. It is impossible, unless you are superman or spiderman. Wait! i have never see these two swim in any of their movies, that means these two are not all super 100%. Lol.

Blogging about several things all one blog without having a particular audience in mind get you blog really messy and confuse your reader. Believe me a confused reader will not need a preacher before he or she repent off your blog.

Easy to monetize.

When you have a niche blog instead of a all general blog, monetizing with your blog becomes a piece of cake when it comes to making money through ads. A niche blog will have Ads related to the niche showing up on it. If you blog is not a niche targeted blog , it become less attractive to advertisers who who would have love to advertise their product or service online on a niche blog. With no way to monetize your blog, your blogging effort becomes a shadow in the dark. Don’t get me wrong ads is not the only way to monetize your blog it just one of the ways. check different ways to make money from your blog

Now you know why you must choose your niche before you take your first step of the billion miles blogging journey.

How do you choose a niche?

You must have a genuine interest
To choose a niche you need to determine if you really have interest in the niche. I mean a natural and genuine interest and not an interest that is reward or profit driven. The pitfall in not going for a niche you have a natural interest in is that with time you will loose interest and you will find it hard to come up with fresh and quality content. And when this happen to you. Your blog will fail. Guess you don’t like the thought of that. So try to choose a niche you are really and naturally interested in.

Is it profitable?
Having a natural interest in a chosen niche is not enough if you intend to make money from blogging. One of the question to ask yourself before you choose your niche is, how can i make money or earn a living blogging in this niche? If that is not enough, find out if your chosen niche consist of buyers. Because to make money from your blog you must present an offer to your audience either an affiliate product or your personal product.

To do this, you must know what others in the niche monetizing with? – one of the fastest ways to know if there is potential to monetize a niche is to check out what others in the niche are doing to make money. Check out the biggest sites first and look at whether they run advertising. if they do, what type? whether they’re promoting affiliate products, what kinds of products or services of their own are they sell etc. You might find that you come up with a quick list of things to start monetizing your own site with very quickly by doing this. If you are unable to do all these, find another niche.

In choosing a niche, another important thing you must consider is the level of competition in the niche.

One of the factors that many bloggers failing to acknowledge in the choosing of a niche is how much competition and how strong is the competition in their potential niche.

The disadvantage of choosing some popular niches is that you might be competing against some very strong and powerful sites in the niches. Well this should not be a factor to stop you exploring a niche. In fact competing with the big guys can perhaps help you to shape your niche to be something that will give you a competitive edge.

On the other hand if there is no competition at all in the niche, two things might be involve it is either the niche is a completely new path or a total failure. Either way i will advise you test with caution and manage risk well while assessing the strength of your competition.

In conclusion

To be successful as a blogger you must have a well structured plan for you niche selection and how you intend to monetize your blog. Unless you do not have the intention to do so.
