Blogging has become real huge now and I have seen many companies publishing their ads through blogs rather than printing postures, may be that this way its more economical and can reach wider audience too at the same time. But what really attracts a person to the blog, is it a title or the body of the article or simply through a suggestion. Most of the times it happens and even few of us might have experienced that we read articles based on their titles, if the title sounds interesting than it can lure your readers into reading further. Some of you, who are new to blogs, might not even know that your titles or the keywords are the prime most important things that will direct a position of your site in search engines. If you have attractive title with widely used keywords in it then surely it is going to push your site at the top most pages of the search engines but for that you need to come up or rather know the key words which your audience would be searching over the net.

So before you head out to write your blogs, the first and foremost is to decide upon an attractive title for your blogs. You must have quite noticed when you search something over internet there is more probability of you finding the pages with exactly the same words that you typed in search engines the reason being, the site members have researched well as to what their audience would search, identifying such keywords is not difficult and with the help of Google adwords keyword tool you can find all the keywords which are searched the most.

You can only build your brand over your blogging

networks once you gain your readers support and that will gradually happen as they start liking your topics and the content you have written. Make use of google tools and research the words that the users are most likely to type in search engines, if you belong to a particular niche say writing only about management then search for words which people would search. Remember, while you put in the keywords, think of the words that you as a reader would be keying in to search for the topics that would give you an idea.

The search volume for the keywords will help you find the volume of the key words which are searched on Internet on a monthly basis, if you have few lots of words then go for the once which are rated highest in the adwords tool. Keep in mind that even a single word in your title here and there would cause a lot of changes in your rankings, in my research I have found that the titles which starts from “how to”, “how is”, etc. are the most searched upon compared to normal sentences and its but obvious when people would search to find the procedure for something they are going to type “how to”. So research well for the titles you are going to put in and get good search engine rankings.

Plan Your Topics For Writing a Blog With Few Questions In Mind

Well, so you are off to writing a blog for yourself and your readers, by now you might have well even decided on the topic you are going to write about. Some might have got hiccups while I said about deciding on your topic, if that is the scenario with you I think you should be first learning the basics of blogging business. Blogging is meant strictly for writers whether born writers or trained writers, if you are not good at written notes then you stand no where in the world of blogs network. Choosing a topic for your blogs is as much important as catering to child’s need, unless you feed nutritive food to your child there is no growth, similarly, for blogs you have to select a topic which belongs to user’s arena, the topics they might be interested into or the topics they might gain some knowledge from.

The blog site is just not a site which you design and leave it and expect to get good returns, you have to build a niche for yourself, through which your users will understand your language well. Know the things that your readers would love listening to; bring new insights in your virtual talks with them. To get you started I have few questions in mind you should be asking yourself before starting your blog:

1. Know who your readers are? What they are looking for? What they want to read from you? What opinions they have regarding a particular issue?
2. Decide the purpose of your writing, what you want to gain out of it? What type of topics are you going to write?
3. How you want to convince your readers into agreeing something? How are you going to bring up examples to make them understand something?
4. How are you going to bring something in FOCUS for your readers? What points will best convince them of your writings? What details are you going to get for them?

In my experiences I have found that most effective writings centre on a one particular point that makes reading interesting. The details that you are mentioning should always revolve around on that particular point. Decide on one central theme for your stories or descriptions or experiences or researches in your blogs. Focus on what readers want to listen from you and remember the questions I just mentioned above while writing an article. This will ensure that you have targeted readers in your kitty who enjoy reading your blogs.

Powerful Persuasion – Using 6 Key Principles

One – Reciprocity

It is necessary to give value to prospective clients if you want positive results in return. This is a principle that is used in most all relationships, whether it is a friendship, or a business relationship. You are spinning your wheels if you try to keep the relationships alive, without adding a little of your own value to them. It is effective to offer free products like videos, reports, or ebooks through blog posts, newsletters, or email campaigns. In return, you can benefit from the reward of selling more of your products.

Two – Scarcity

The scarcity of any type of product is a known factor that often results with individuals paying much higher prices than what would normally be spent on even similar items that are not benefiting from the scarce factor. When there is not an over abundance of a specific product, the more individuals will want to purchase the product. Learn to build scarcity into your marketing and in the products that you offer. You just might be surprised at the results when you emphasize the fact that the supply is limited. When there are only a specific number of items available, this is a factor that adds to the power you have for selling your products. Adding the bonus of a consultation with a limited amount of informational products you are offering will place additional value on the packages you offer, and make the opportunity something that prospective buyers will not want to miss out on.

Three – Liking

Rarely will an individual be jumping in line to do business with someone they have no connection to, or they simply do not like. It is extremely important to always build a likeable character that prospective buyers are easily able to connect to. Introducing your personality and character through blog posts that contain your ideas and opinions can be very beneficial to you. Videos of you that explain these ideas can also be very helpful. Getting involved in areas such as Subscribing to places like MySpace or Facebook is a great way to get your name in the loop and in front of prospects.

Four – Authority

Aside from simply becoming a well-known name that people are familiar with, you will also need to obtain expert knowledge about the services or products that you offer. Continuously gaining added knowledge about the products that you sell or the specific services that you provide are an advantage that can pay of immensely in the long run. Show your prospects that you have a high level of knowledge and experience that would be hard to top with any other company. Showing the knowledge you have on blogs by using case studies and examples with show authority and expertise that you have gained in your niche.

Five – Social Proof

It can be very effective to highlight any social proof events that have occurred within your business. Although it can be frustrating when a server has crashed, if this is a problem that you have experienced because of the tremendous amount of traffic visiting your site, you will want to use it as social proof. Write posts in your blog or email marketing apologizing for the down time. Others will often think there must be something they are missing out on, and they will follow the lead and visit your site as well. Letting prospects know about accomplishments can be a great way to get a hook into their interest.

Six – Commitment and Consistency

It takes a large amount of effort and hard work to become successful on the Internet. If you know your ideas are outstanding, keep striving and don’t let the idea of giving up enter your mind. There are an endless amount of fly-by-night money grabbers that are here one day and are gone the next. Let the prospects that may be following your efforts, know that you are here to stay and committed. Whatever the niche you choose, build it into something of value.

If you are creative enough then you open yourself to the great outside world opportunities, all the business or the decisions you take in life have many an uncertainty and risk factors involved but we have to face them and not turn away from it. If you think of Marla you might well wonder how she is having a ball, how she has been the queen of roost and what all things does marla know that Lou doesn’t know. To put it straight and perfect you should first understand what qualification a person is having, not just the book knowledge a person has to be creative from inside, Marla is one of those consummate creative entrepreneur, she has one of the best qualities that anyone would vouch for, being a creative thinker, if you have yourself those inner qualities you can do whatever you wish in life, people get things done when they are serious of their thoughts and serious about achieving their targets. Marla has a reason; people love her because of the reason that she doesn’t fear failure and is always ready to work with big or small enterprises, even an ally. Its not just her niche in artistic world she also has great entrepreneurial vision which allows her to do magical things that leads to great opportunities just out of no where, her mind is that of a business savvy mind which always is looking out for something new.

For mastering in things you want to achieve in life you have to have that creativity in you and the 3 critical skill sets which are mentioned below:

All the successes in life are not achieved with a click of a mouse you need to master them by putting your skills and sharpening your skill set with due knowledge setting your objectives straight.

1. Collaboration – you have to connect to your partners to come out with good solution that will help you to keep pace with the competition, it will help you to work in close bonds with clients, partners, investors and professionals.
2. Creativity – you can create new ideas by generating them, evaluate them with effect and take actions to run them in the company that will help you increase your sales and provide good services too.
3. Entrepreneurship – identify the opportunities that come your way in market place or also in big companies, change your skills into actions and implement them.

We have known and we have seen that entrepreneurs totally rely on the creativity aspect and produce wealth accordingly if you see the modern day entrepreneurs you can see the concept of wealth creation goes even further as John Howkins rightly said that creative entrepreneurs are those who use their creative power to create wealth which lies in themselves rather than using outside resources.

By using their creative power entrepreneurs create value for themselves and for the company, the value is not just the physical products but these are some of the most demandable intangible assets like the brand name of the company, reputation, intelligence and network of partners. They are so used to projecting new things and bring up a desired position in the market and elsewhere in the world. The people who are creative entrepreneurs are not always freelancers, some are bound by company regulations and restrictions but they can surely help to innovate and bring up new things in the company. Freelancers are the people who do their work independently they are not bound by any regulations, they are paid by companies or individuals for particular task they are asked to do. This is the way they earn their livelihood, they charge their fees by the projects they day, on an hourly basis or daily basis depending on their work type. Freelancers are always in search of new challenging work which will give them proper edge over their other counterparts who are working for companies. Creative entrepreneurs are those individuals who are always ready to grab new opportunities thereby increasing their own expectation, and they produce results accordingly, the very same outlook brings them good opportunities and create a system for themselves and others around them that will help in wealth generation. Now let’s take a quick look at Mary’s story.

There was this young girl who always wanted to draw pictures, at the age of 11 she had enough of skills that her family created a studio specially for her by emptying their closet this was the place where she used to sit and draw the pictures for hours together without worrying about summers or winters. Slowly and gradually as the days passed she turned from a girl to woman and still kept on drawing pictures. She finally took up a job at some ad agency and also did freelancing work for clients with commission but she was not very happy with the type of the work she was doing that of drawing things which were ordered so there she started with her licensed drawings which she herself designed and sold to other greeting card companies and there grew her income level and her satisfaction for the job increased.

Not only just greeting card industry, she ventured out into other media and also hired staff to look after her wide number of fields. Even today she keeps drawing all her licensed designs and her staff get them reformatted and get them licensed for calendars picture, cards, animated films, t-shirts, mugs, books, etc. she became so famous in just no time that she launched her national magazine with her own name “Mary Engelbreit’s home companion”. If she wouldn’t have taken this step of doing some thing of her own, she had be freelancer or a contract author with companies to design their products. Mary would surely be happy individual with income and all but wouldn’t have got the satisfaction of her skills what she has today. She is now an entrepreneur, a creative entrepreneur just through her talent and hopes she has reached such great height, she now licenses her art and has built up a big business behind her name. she has already touched $1 billion of sales through retail selling, the art lovers know her name well and is an inspiration to millions of people world wide. She has also partnered with charity first book where she promotes literacy by giving millions of books to children belonging to the parents of low income group.

The concept of conventional thinking pursues the world of art and business as 2 different entities, they don’t have anything in common. We are all here to think of all the uncreative ways through which we can look at things in the case of Mary Engelbreit we can see the qualities of both an artist and that of an entrepreneur both of them working in great harmony.

While still many of us keep deciding out future plans till we finish our high school, there was this girl who made a firm decision of being an artist some day just at the mere age of 11, she has taken her company to amazing heights through her sheer hard work and success and of course dedication. Mary Engelbriet studios have acquired world famous name today with global licensing of her designs and she has entered in different arenas like the retail business, she is the same girl who still sits with her designs with same enthusiasm and with the same wonder, the same hopes and the same imagination.

Take the case of Caterina Fake, a designer, she started out with plain designer and was later working as Art director in some famous company, she also started with photo sharing portal which is today world famous. her famous business interests include sitting on the boards of creative commons and Etsy, she also takes interest in speaking at conferences and also gives lectures at universities and takes initiative in advising the starters in the field. She also takes deep interest in writing and also writes some fiction stories and also takes keen interest in poetry, art installations and making sculpture designs. Do you think her business is any different from the works of a creative artist?

Creative has no end. Marla wouldn’t have said so, she is herself “Artist in business” promoting business line, she describes herself as being an artist who is involved in the business and also an entrepreneur whose main line of business consists of creative art. Today we can term anyone as an entrepreneur because somewhere or the other we have created that niche for ourselves and others so that we can pursue our own life goals. Lou is finding that in full fledged, working out on his costs factor, the fears of steady job and searching a predictable career path, these are now only historical relics that change with time. The risk here is that of security the steps we take while adopting and entrepreneurial approach, we take up responsibilities and try to develop our skills in that field, we build up our network of clients, partners, investors and also build up a good reputation and proper skill set to achieve our goals. If we are working somewhere, you always learn something or the other, a learning experience while earning money and its an investment in itself that will remain with you as a knowledge forever.

This sounds like a real great news for someone like Jack who loves his independence unlimitedly. He always has something or the other to offer for some creative side of the projects currently on. He will go on and on till the time he become bored of his work and is made redundant, he keeps writing blogs every evenings through those flexed muscles landing him a book to write may not be a bad option after all, he has his collaborations with people around the globe. He knows that he can make it really big by writing blogs and make it big and take it too bigger heights, its not just about achieving one’s dreams it actually takes more than your dreams to succeed in the path you have selected.

The economy today is full of creative artist where people want to see something new and something which has good logic. It might sound easy to come up with creative ideas but only the artist knows what it takes to during brainstorming sessions. We can start up with a total different avenue in the field of art and creative. Please do not forget to write your comments regarding the things I have written and tell me your views of being an entrepreneur, the challenges that you will face and also using your creative side at the same time, etc.
