The Lazy Blogger Thu, 14 May 2009 23:05:54
A few months ago I got the itch to start blogging, I thought that I could keep it up without a problem but I just noticed that this blog has not been updated for more than a month. Blogging is one of those things that seems to be fun for a short while and then [...]
Is Niche Socializer A Scam? Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:20:42
As an online marketer, I receive several emails a day promoting one product or another. I subscribe to most email marketing lists, mainly, to allow me to monitor what the other online marketing people are doing. I notice that there is a consistent trend as new products hit the market. There are a select number [...]
My Portfolio of Sites Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:06:32
My goal of fifty blogs continues. I have been trying to diversify away from creating all real estate sites and have come up with a few alternatives so far. My main niche that I have stuck with for years is that of real estate. I picked real estate several years ago mostly because everyone in [...]
What does it mean to be indexe … Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:14:30
Having your website indexed by Google means that your domain name will at least show up in the search results if you do a search query for yourname.com. As a present example, you can type in newventuresuccess.com in Google and you will find that there are no direct links from Google to this site. [...]
Three Weeks and No Google Love Sat, 28 Mar 2009 13:41:56
I have been working on this site for three weeks now and have been making updates almost daily. I am posting regularly and have added some backlink opportunities. The domain name is one that I have had for more than a year and the site has always had the same theme: How to make money [...]
The Search for the Missing Pos … Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:31:30
I have written a couple of posts that have vanished somewhere between my iPhone and my server. I put in the effort to write the thing but when I hit “publish” it takes longer than usual to publish and then when I go to look at my site to see if it actually published, [...]
Wordpress Offers an Improved V … Thu, 19 Mar 2009 04:49:38
I am very excited to report that WordPress has just put out a new update for the iPhone. They now offer landscaped input! There are also other updates that were included but none better me than the landscape input. I have already become a fan of using my iPhone to blog with; mostly for the convenience. [...]
Dilemma of the Misspelled Keyw … Tue, 17 Mar 2009 12:45:53
Lately, I have one site that is kicikn’ some but on traffic and revenue. It was the success of that one site that encouraged me to start this blog. It also motivated me to set my current goal of setting up and maintaining 50 blogs in 50 different niches. Currently, that one site is [...]
You Need To Build The Framewor … Sun, 15 Mar 2009 01:06:39
I noticed that I am spending a lot of time writing about how I am getting my site set up and most of that conversation is about all the great features in WordPress. I was thinking that maybe I should be spending more time writing about how to actually make money online, but then I [...]
Widgets Gone Wild Sat, 14 Mar 2009 13:05:56
Being new to this whole WordPress thing I have been sifting through some of the stuff in the admin section and am truly amazed at the capabilities that are included in the WordPress program. I have spent years coming up with new ways to easily implement data throughout an entire website. I always [...]

If You Build It, They Won’t Come.

A lot of time, energy, and expense goes into the creation of a new website and I can fully relate to the belief that once the site has been created all that needs to be done now is to sit back and watch the visitors come in. Unfortunately, this is far from what really happens. Just like with any new brick and mortar business you need to add your new website to your marketing distribution. You need to let the world know that your site exists. Whether it be in your direct mail flyers, postcards, business cards, or wherever you are currently advertising your business, you need to advertise your new site. The options available are endless and I have determined that they ALL work. The only thing that doesn’t work is spending a lot of money to do so. It is for this reason that the whole process of marketing always amazes me. At what point do you find it worth it, and what are the results for putting your name on a blimp? Does this actually work? The same questions can be asked for a newly developed website. Where should you start your marketing process, by going right to the search engines and plucking down money, trying to buy visitors to your site?

There are enough relatively inexpensive options available to get the word out, but the bottom line is, you need to get the word out.
