One of the most popular ways the internet is now being used is in the sphere of blogging.  It really has revolutionized many aspects of one’s online presence and pretty much anyone who is anyone has one these days and remarkably, relatively few people think about using blogs for profit.

It has become one of the easiest ways to make money online.  Using niche marketing, keyword research and blogging, one can start to make long-term passive incomes from nothing but this alone.

• Earn some income – Many people have made successful from simply blogging about their life and in some cases they have successfully monetized these using things such as PayPerPost which is a company sponsoring bloggers to write about various products.

Corporate Blogging Alphabet – What Is It?

I built this alphabet to showcase what I think are the benefits and best practices of corporate blogging. Not all of these entries will apply to every individual blogging scenario, but they all apply to corporate blogging in general.

Bloggers Blogging Blogs A recent report finds that 62% of Internet users don’t know what a “blog” is.

Plain and simple, a blog is essentially a journal posted to the Internet for anyone to read. What started out as a way for individuals to share their diaries with the world is fast becoming the talk of the Web.

First, let me help you understand the name. Say “Web”, like the World Wide Web, then “log”, like a daily captain’s log. Now, say the two words faster. Sounds like “weh-blog”, right? That’s the short history of the name.

A blog has grown to essentially cover commentary, opinion or observations posted to a Web site on a regular basis. It’s a pulpit from which anyone can share their views with the world. Bloggers (the people that write… Continue reading

Blogging is now mainstream, with businesses of all sizes realizing that they need a blog. However, most businesses don’t have the staff who know how blogging works; nor do they want to commit staff time to a project which can be easily out-sourced.

So you have this really great idea to start a blog on a particular niche. And perhaps, maybe you even want to make some revenue off of AdSense, Clicksor, or other contextual advertising. Super. You’ve wrote your heart out and posted some blog content. Great! No problems there. But what do you do to keep the content fresh and insightful? Are you feeling that the content you offer on your blog just “lacks”? Is your blog boring? Maybe you can’t even pinpoint what exactly is “lacking”, but you just feel it.
