Do you guys aware of Blog Shopping? Recently I notice that a lot of people has setup a shopping blog. In facts, what is Blog Shopping? Basically, is just blog that allow people to buy things via blog. It can be own products or any other affiliate products and visitor will buy the product if they like the products.
As long as you have the domain and hosting, you should be able to that do, below are the steps:
1) Activate the Wordpress
2) Follow the setup process, enter your domain name, site descriptions and etc
3) Sign up paypal so that you are able to perform transaction via online
4) Find some some local gift company, do some arrangement with them to take the picture of the product so that you will be able to do some posting.
5) Writing product posting and post it with the paypal button with the amount of money that you have decided, please remember to include the shipping fees too. Off course, before this you need to check with Carrier service provider about the price and the weight.
6) Start to promote your blog via forum, ppc, search engine and some directories as well.
7) Continue to do this day by day until you see the result and fine tune whether those are the products that people is looking for, if not try to find till you get the right product.
Once got sale, direct buy from local provider where you take the product picture from and send to customer.
9) Report step 5 and 6 on a daily basis so that your blog can attract visitor with new product.
This is ideally for the products that are hot a lot of people is looking for as well as affiliate product and paypal button will be replaced by your affiliate link.
Most of the Internet Marketing has the same question? What should I do when coming to day to day activities in order to market myself? There is not standard answer for this and please refer to the below for your guideline only:
For me I usually did in the below manner:
1) Blogging – I will spend roughly one hour to write blog, they included keyword analyst as well as posting my blog into my site. This is not a daily activities where I will post my blog in alternate day basis. If there is no blog for me to post, I’ll use it to either preparing Video to post into Youtube or doing some Free Classifieds Ads.
2) Forum – Participating in forums as well as starting a new Thread on each day. The key is to expose as much as possible your signature in the forum that you are in. The formula is reply 10 posts at least each day for first month and subsequently replying 3 to 4 post on daily basis as well as starting a new thread on each day too. By doing that, you will start to see a lot of Traffic coming to your site for free.
3) Other than forum, I will spend sometime to read some people blog and leave some comment there. This is what we call dofollow commenting, by doing this, we are doing some backlink activities with others. This will helping us to bring up out page rank with no effort at all.
I’m highly recommended to spend at least 1 hour on this activities. Keep 10 blog into your list and perform the dofollow commenting within these 10 site and from time to time, change your list to other blog site too.
4) Last will be social network like facebook, myspace, twitter and etc, get as many friends as possible where they are your mouth and eye for the market that you are in. They will market your product for free as long as you have some level of communication with them. So remember to talk to them on your regular time and spend roughly one hour per day to marketing yourself in social network. You can spend an hour on daily basis at one site at a day, eg Facebook on Momday and Myspace on Tuesday.
The rest will be up to individual like article marketing which is also good but not my cup of tea, I don’t really good in writing so I will leave it until I can get a cheap and good writer to write article for me.
For Free ads and video, is totally up to individual too, if you like it, please go ahead to spend sometime to use it. Those are good marketing ways too.
The last is to monitor your result, if you are ok with the return, then stick on it else please change the frequency accordingly until you are happy with the return. The average time will be from 4 to 6 hours daily on your marketing activities daily.
As for now, a lot off people might already know how to setup and writing blog on regular basis but the problem right now a lot of newbies got is how to get traffic traffic and traffic. Today, Im going to share this with you all…..
1) Keeping posting your new blog on bi-daily basis, this will attract Search engine come to you site to grab your new contents. Trust me, my site was non-exist till today in top 30 if you search for “Internet marketing tutorial”, you will see the result very fast. Amazing result by just trying this approach.
2) Actively participate in forum, this an another free way to getting traffic to your blog. Go to Google and type in Forum, a lot of related to your niche forum will be displayed, go and register one by one and start to talk into forum for first one week and do not start to post any new thread until 2nd week. After that, start to post something interesting question like “Do you believe in free traffic by just using forum?”, sure you will get a lot of reponse and from there you will start to see traffic too.

This will allow the reader tense to enter to your website and that’s the free traffic.
3) Start actively participate in other blog by give comments after reading some other poeple blog. Remember, you need to seriously reading people blog and give your best comments. Usually, the comments will come into a form where it will allow you to key in your name, email, URL and comments. Remember, when you key in the URL, always start with “http://your url”. Don’t know where to find blog, go to Google or yahoo, key in the “your area” blog, like Internet newbie blog. From there, start your comments on daily basis, post at least 10 comments per day.
4) Using Twitter, if you are using Wordpress find a plugin called “Twitme”. Once you installed, go Twitter, look for Application –> Widgets, from there you will guide you to create a code and copy and paste the code into your blog sidebar via Admin control panel. Once your are done, each time when you created a new post, it will automatically send to twitter.
5) If you have a list of email, send it to them and tell them you have just created an article and asking them to visit and giving the comments if there feel is useful.
