Mini-Session 11: Turning Business Blogging Around

Filed Under Guest Writer, Successful Blog | 71 Comments

Guest Speaker: Chris Cree

Most of us are at least a little bit familiar with how valuable a blog can be for a business.

Improving search engine rankings, raising company visibility and awareness, driving traffic to the main business web site, and building business reputation are among the many benefits that can be seen when a business starts blogging effectively.

Turn About is Fair Play

Tonight, though, let’s turn it around.

Let’s talk about the idea of turning your blogging hobby into a business.

How do you do it?

How can you make the transition from hobby blogger to business blogger?

Placing ads of some kind on your blog is one way to start.

But what else is there?

Here are some ideas to get the conversation rolling:

  • Freelance writing
  • Publish and sell e-Books
  • Become the go-to expert in a narrow niche
  • Consulting
  • Blog set-up and maintenance
  • Blog Design
  • Create plugins & widgets specific to individual businesses

The ways to earn money on the internet are only limited by our creativity and we’ve only begun to scratch the surface with things like AdSense.

Let’s think outside the box and kick some ideas around.

Thank you, Chris!
