As a Freelance Writer it may be necessary to build a blog or website to advertise your work or promote a business opportunity related to your work. The following article is valuable information related to building a successful blog or website.

These tips for building a successful blog or website come from Incomediary. I have shortened the information for this particular posting. However, Michael has come up with some of the most excellent information that I wanted to share. Michael is a 21 year old, dyslexic drop out and he asks if he can do it, why can’t you.

·         Get your Blog or Website on Line as quickly as possible.

·         Choose your theme

Michael personally recommends WooThemes

·         Customize your blog or website design-

this can be accomplished by visiting TalkFreelance.com, a design forum or SitePoint, Digitalpoint and WarriorForum

·         Adding logos, favicons and further customizing-

Woothemes has a terrific source for customizing based on your niche. However, the other sites indicated are also great

·         Install plugins and other features-

Podcasting plug in-add a player to your blog

WP-ContactForm-basically a contract form and really simple

Comment notifier-an RSS feed for comments-this alerts your subscribers of a new comment

All in One SEO Pack-makes optimizing your blog much easier

If you haven’t already done so, get AWeber account. This account is essential when you start building your email listing.

·         Creating a contact and About page

These two pieces get most of the traffic. Include a contact form when creating this portion of the blog. Include an email link and all of the social sites that you are on. You can add a page if you are using a plug in with this code

·         Styling blog and website posts-

Most if not all bloggers use visual editor to create their blog posts. However, look at code in html format. You may discover some things.

·         No leakage rule-

Don’t leak your site out unless you receive a commission earning. Consider selling your blog or website ad space directly for advertising revenue. 

·         Find Affiliate Programs that Actually work-

There are $1000s of dollars to be made with selling to affiliate programs. A bit of the products that Michael utilizes is ClickBank and ComissionJunction. Ask yourself if the page would convince you, if not, it’s not for you.

·         Creating your first affiliate post-

He used Market me Tweet. Write a post on the product and then soft sell. Whenever you mention Twitter in other posts, refer back to the Tweet

·         Adding recommended products and becoming an affiliate. Use EBay, Amazon.com, Clickbank.com and Google AdSense. However, these are my preferences.

·         Add an advertising marketing spot to your blog-

You may find an advertiser that wants to add his content on your site. In this case you can charge them for the service or space.

·         Create an affiliate comparison page

·         Adding your funnel
