Not so Quick! Last night I was giving thought to my beauty blog’s name, Italkbeauty. How limiting is the word beauty? Is it at all? In the beginning stages of planning out my blog “Beauty” in my minds eye was limited to primarily women, cosmetics, product reviews, beauty tips, etcetera. After awhile my thoughts evolved regarding my blog and I realized that beauty encompasses many different areas not limited to just women looking beautiful or finding more items to assist them in becoming more beautiful. Interesting thought and highly liberating! In that moment, I realized that I did not necessarily need to ditch my original identity but that instead I would have the ability to embrace other meaningful topics while maintaining my original intention of focusing on Beauty. You can imagine my excitement in the realization that my boundaries had just opened up considerably. Read the rest of this entry »

During your initial foray into web logging, you’ll find that it will take some conscious effort on your part to promote your blog. Of course, you could just simply write feverishly and hope that your blog takes on a life of its own.
But that’s putting your hopes on randomness which might not work in your favor. If the thought of advertising your blog has never crossed your mind, it’s time that you gave it some consideration, especially if you’ve only begun blogging.
Here are ways you can start advertising your blog at little or no cost:
Share information for free. Don’t expect or demand to be paid for information just yet. You’re still trying to build your reputation and nobody knows you. Focus on putting out excellent quality entries or posts in your blog. Good content, coupled with enough promotional activity, will put you in the blog universe’s map.
The way to do it is to write articles about your specific topic, articles that are related to your chosen content. Include a short introduction about yourself and your blog and place a link back to your site.

There are several ways to monetize a blog. One of the most commonly used is by selling advertising space, either through text-based advertising or banner ads. But to do either of these, you will have to look for advertisers who will pay to have their ads placed on your web pages. If you’re unsure on what to do and how to do it, here are tips to help you find blog advertisers to help you generate revenue with your website:
Promote. Instead of just leaving possible banner ad locations blank, let advertisers know that they are up for grabs. Use ‘Advertise Here’ or ‘Your Ad Here’ texts to indicate their availability.

Make sure that there is a webpage that will be used for this purpose specifically. This page may either contain information about your terms or it could be a link that will allow your advertiser to send you an e-mail.
Seek out advertisers actively. Other than openly promoting your blog for ads, you could also find blog advertisers by targeting them. That way, you get to choose who will place their ads on your blog. A standard letter of approach to advertisers should contain: Read the rest of this entry »
