Getting into business world requires a good business planning, unless you plan ahead to strive for your objectives you are not going to be successful any where in your life. Some years ago, when I started with my own business unit I was struggling to come out of the mould of competition every where around me, I was so confused about what to do and merely dint had any cash to expand my business, this was the time I realized what should have been done when I started off. I realized one very important aspect of a business or a company, that to run it successfully without any glitches you have to plan ahead and execute them when needed.

I have few of my websites which were not running well until a few months ago, when I realized this fact, as soon as I did I made necessary changes to my schedule and made a special time in which I should be thinking of planning ahead for my varied business units. You must have come across a famous quote, “Rome was not built in a Day”, this particular sentence tries to deliver the message that nothing happens in just one day, it’s a gradual process, whether its failure or success, both happens with due planning for future. Big enterprises across nations are just not running on day to day scale, they have proof read plans to run their companies well in advance counting on inflationary measures, natural disasters, crashing of stocks, etc.

We cannot predict our future, so whatever line of business or industry you choose, its better that we see pros and cons at the very start so that when we face them unfortunately, you are ready to help yourself. Now if we are thinking from the blogging point of view, you will see so many websites and networks have crashed down, and there are no takers for them, what do you think might be the reason? Do you think they might not have put much efforts in to marketing them or optimizing their sites, when a person is headed out, he must have surely planned how things would happen but he lacks in one particular aspect that is planning ahead, if they might have planned well in advance in situations like the recent recessionary effects seen all around the globe then I feel they might have been saved. I have seen businesses come down to Nil positions because of the recent back lash in stocks trading, export and import industry, domestic trade, all because of one fundamental reason of RECESSION.

Fairly speaking, I never started with my blogs with the objective of making money, it was my passion for writing that bought me here, I love interacting with my readers and love to research on different topics to be posted here. It’s been 2 years now, I am continuously blogging and I see times have changed I have much larger of networks then I earlier did. There are times when I have very less number of visitors on my site but that doesn’t divert me from my goal and I keep planning ahead by writing my blogs on a regular basis and also joining social networks which would help me come up again from the down fall.

In blogging world, anything and everything is possible, you can earn handsome money in just one go or you can be criticized for your work. There are 2 aspects in this and I feel you can select on what side you want to be? Most of you’ll would select the first option and why not because it sounds very pleasant, you feel like you are a million bucks when you start earning at very young age. There are times when I get so tied up with my other businesses that I don’t get time to write blogs and there are no scheduled posts either at my end, I know well, the consequences of stale blogs over networks and what impression it would give to others on the network but as I often keep stating that “content is the king”, no one can rob you of this great talent. If you have worthy blogs, people will at least appreciate what you had written already other than criticizing you.

The world of blogging is very synonymous with the word consistency; you have to maintain your niche to stay ahead with due planning of what topics you would state next or any links you want to share with your users. Sometimes it so happens your readers want to hear more from you for a particular topic, then here I plan well in advance to write a continuous blog on earlier blog I have posted. Such are things which need attention and alert ness. Writing scheduled posts are the best means to avoid any discontinuation in putting fresh blogs each day. Plan well in advance for events you feel can have disastrous effects on your organization.

Blogs could be many, but what differentiates those which make heads turn than those who do not? We see blogs with so much popularity while others lag behind on the last pages, what X factor is it that makes these blogs kick in public minds? Are you anything sort of a self-disciplines person, do you take responsibility in every thing you do? Then you need not struggle much to make your blog popular over the social networks. I am a freelancer and I do variety of businesses, but that doesn’t stop me from writing a perfect blog, a blog which is successful and powerful. I handle everything with so much ease but what makes my work kick over internet, I keep on writing time and again to maintain that edge over other blogs not just to be popular but something that people will gain from, something that they want to read, etc.

I tried hard and hard to get as much information possible for my blog then one day I suddenly felt is it my passion of writing blogs or is it just vitamin M, well by that I mean Money! Initially when I headed out, I had no intention of making money or perhaps would never want to, I learned from lots of professional gurus what they are trying to portray over Internet, some are real freaks yet some give you knowledge to make money while other some may give you a genuine piece of advice. Initially, I was under the impression that these people work real hard to gain the position that they are on today, I thought that God may bless me with the same luck some day. It was the day that I started writing blogs I realized one very important thing that changed the total outlook of my work, I realized blogging needs a good time and it requires planning and the blogs which I wrote consumed lots of my time and it also required the same dedication that I give for my company so there was a turning point where I thought of blogging as a serious business.

The way infantry business needs nurturing, dedication and planning (NDP), the same way even blogs requires NDP. It is the time you start realizing how you can take your business to super heights by simple dedication and planning. Blogs are up to you, the better you are of use to people, the greater you would become popular and better your business grow if you are SYSTEMATIC in it. I am more than eager to tell you how you can systematize your blogs and make maximum advantage of time, process and growth control techniques in your business:

1. Keeping a post scheduled blogs in your computer are a great relief, believe me, especially when you are always running short of time. There are varied social networking sites which details the advantages of post scheduling, imagine yourself at a very busy position in the office and you are writing fresh blogs each day, one day so happens that you skip writing because of office work load, now who is going to write it, and how are people going to read something new today so post scheduling comes handy during such circumstances where your blog site gets fresh content daily and your calendar reminds you if you miss one. This is the great way to manage your work life and blogging life, you don’t miss it so shall your readers.
2. You need to plan out your work time and play time on your computer, once you are done with that, you are ready to write your daily schedule for blogs. We as humans have varied habits like you sit for work but start playing online games, checking emails, just a reason not to start writing a blog, similar is the case with me too. When you plan your work time and play time you tend to differentiate and are more responsible towards writing fresh blogs each time. After I planned my work and everything, I have seen I spend less time on computers and don’t have any pending work on my desk too that gives me lots of time to spend with my family, as I call it “quality time”. It’s rare to find such times during present trying times, but its my luck and good planning that I have loads of time to do whatever I wish in a day.
3. You need to filter your communication skills; this is one philosophy you should religiously follow before you post your blogs. As you start your blog, you know there would be hundreds of readers reading your item, other fellow blogger also may take interest in your blogs and they may even popularize it in their own blogs provided you maintain good quality and checking whether your communication is OKAY with the readers. You can ask your readers to comment, even post on forums and even emailing helps to find out how your readers feel about your communication to them. There are times when you get so much tied up with everything that you cannot improve on one single thing that is when I started my own system to keep communication in check, when I write comment on any topic, I bookmark the page under “threads” folder. This way I save them for my further reference during the day and subscribing help me to get immediate details on any comments.
4. As mentioned by me earlier, the need and importance of running your business by maintaining the edge over other competitors, you have to create a niche for yourself in your business communities by writing attractively. Be professional in your written words and if you are looking for any extra support you can use services from varied networking sites like twitter and search engines, they offer google alerts and hashtags which will help you. There are many ways through which you can become popular in social communities by being active and giving immediate response to comments.
5. The blogs that you write largely depends on your schedule, I dedicate good time in writing blogs and that too at specific time. Normally I plan to write at least 2 blogs per day and at proper scheduled time, I don’t get easily distracted when I have my writing plans. Mornings are best as your mind is fresh and you can collect good information on what you want to write, your creativity is at utter best in the mornings so plan to write your posts during mornings. Build a habit through which you can live with, having a habit will schedule your time to write automatically.

The term which I used earlier about writing blogs systematically doesn’t necessarily mean that all is automatic, what I want to portray here is when a particular blog is posted (in systematic terms) it means that when its executed it should provide a welcome hand in your business procedures. When you write a systematic blog it directly hits the target that is when you have really started working on your blogs. For writing blogs you have to come up with some original content which people would take interest in reading, your content has to be something which we call “out of the box” make it great by using your creativity and talent.

You can put your thoughts systematically by writing blogs, there is one more advantage to writing that you can free your mind out of all the clutter it has been burying inside, by this I don’t mean you should vent out your anger or frustration, through writing blogs you would be more clearer about things you always wanted to put forward in front of the people, such exercise will surely help you build tasks for your business and invent original ideas. By writing all this I hope I have created some space inside your hearts as to what you will be writing a “Systematic blog” next time and get going on your systems to work on.

If blogging is your niche then you shouldn’t aim for earnings through blogs by putting the ads and especially when you are solely marketing your business through that blogging network. Grow your own profile over blogs network, you can come out with your own success stories and strategies that people will follow or help them establish a good position in the market. There have been many a cases I have seen, that people nearly spoil their online business by putting ads just for few dollars, putting ads diverts the readers attention to other blogs or other companies. And knowingly or unknowingly you may be highlighting your own competitors and then you cannot stop all that happening in just one go. The biggest fear for a blogger are comments, may however finest of articles you write there is always some fear which grips everyone, what if a customer comes and starts damaging your goodwill through comments, now for this you can have comment moderation policy on your blog, its your blog and you will decide what people should be commenting on your texts. You can decide on varied policy rules somewhere in your blogs network that will alert the readers what they should be commenting.

Once you have posted your blog, don’t just sit idle watching the comments and waiting for orders to start pouring in, you ought to be interactive when you are online, it is one of the best ways you can get closer to your customers and know their requirements or solve problems. The same way as you encourage people to write comments you need to reply them too that will interest them more into your blog reads. Another thing is that how are you going to integrate your blog with your company website, its important that both are in sync so you will be better at addressing your audience they can view your company profile and see products online through the mentioned website. There are no specific rules to this but more or less it depends on your company objectives, in most cases, it should be normal to link your company website with the blogs network.

One commonest of challenges for new bloggers whether its connecting their business or freelancing is how to get people reading and get used to your blogs. The small step in the right direction will take you to bigger heights, revamp your existing profile over Internet, if any, or you can start posting your ads in other links and blogging networks. If you are planning to put the content of multiple blogs just through one channel, that may prove to be quite worthwhile, there are variety of posts a company can run on their sites depending on their company objectives, some of the key points included in the blog post to make it popular is by stating the products, highlighting the key staff members, CEO talks, announcing new products in product gallery, highlight the clients, tips on the ways to use products, FAQs, comments, etc. the list here is endless, its up to you to bring the finest of points of your company profile in front of your customers.

You can share your view points with me and suggest if you have really cool stuff that people should know.

1. Market Your Business Through Blogs – Part-I
2. Market Your Business Through Blogs – Part-II

Writing blogs is no easy task as you need to be very perfect about the knowledge that you are writing and it should be capable of attracting the reader’s mind. Balancing between work life and blogging life is quite a challenge as you have to dedicate thoroughly to the time that you are writing blogs. Blogging is all about experiencing and the things that you have already experienced in your life which you are sharing with your friends and readers online. Pre-written and scheduled posts over the blogging networks are always a good choice as they are ready to be posted any time and there is no kind of urgency. In my career I have experienced the hiccups I got while writing some timely posts it nearly used to make me restless with so much of urgency and orders from upper management, although now I am my own boss but writing nearly takes some peaceful time it doesn’t happens instantly as we think.

If you want to keep your blogging network live and kicking then you have to push in fresh content each day, and if possible may be more than 1 blog per day that will make your readers interested in your content, what better option we have then getting scheduled posts and pre-written content that is so much of advantage. There are many ways in which you can take out time to write quality content just taking out few hours daily, even it means an hour or 2 make sure that you are solely dedicated and concentrating on what you are writing. Monday is the day I solely call a writing day, its that time of the week when my mind is free of all tensions of the office, I set out on writing in the mornings till late afternoons I dedicate almost like 4 to 5 hours just writing, mornings give me an added idea the points I don’t want to miss out on. You can do the same by trying to write in the mornings, set your inner goals of writing particular number of articles each day, set your targets of 3 daily and slowly increase as you get the hand of it, make sure to write meaty articles that will make your readers interested.

As I said setting your targets just for one day helps throughout the week, pre written content is always helpful, I use the posts which I have written on Monday to post each day of the week that will give a fresh look to my posts daily. I post them as per the scheduled time that is just after midnight that will encourage early reading amongst the readers. Generally dedicating just one day per week is good so that later time of the week you are relaxed and you can better concentrate on other chores, as you start writing in the mornings you will get fresh ideas and wouldn’t get distracted. Its not just the content which I write on Mondays sets my time table to post during the whole week, sometimes in the middle of the week I do like to add some spicy comments or may be some article or links that will help others, you too can do the same that will encourage more people to come over your blogs. You can supplement your blog with Q&A, links, breaking news, reader discussion panels, other blogging networks, etc.

Most of the time we see on blogging networks, blogs are more time bound as per the given situation where one is going through something, may be an experience, or a lesson, or learning, etc. these are timely posts which do not require any pre written or scheduled posts, they are written on the spot. Some posts do require a peace time to be written where as some are such which instantly comes out and are one of the best, being aggressive is one feature you can vent out everything and people do take interest in reading the language you are writing, but never offend anyone please.

There are few blogs in which you can put suitably best combination of a timely posts as well as pre-written, it might sound like a weird thing some might put it as foolish but as per my experience I can state that it really depends on what type of blog you are raring to write and develop. Some blogs might attract more attention than others because the blog talks more on sensitive issue or may be a subject of national issue. Well, my intentions here are to put straight the “how to” of content writing I put the contents which are relevant, more specific and up to the mark most of the time you will see the scheduled posts which we write gives us an advantage where you don’t have time to put back some fresh content over the site. You can discuss with your readers about varied current issues pending, their take on some political event, or some celebrity death or anything.

Write the content which is very relevant to the topic you are writing on, don’t divert from your main topic, discuss the “tips” and “how to” always that will help your readers to gain knowledge and let them keep coming back to you to hear more of it. There are blogs which contain sensitive issue, take note to write them as solemnly as you could keep in mind not to offend anyone by name, caste, religion, creed or profession. You can put in some experiences, the things you feel about and moreover how you can contribute for a cause, this way you can win people’s heart not just for publicity but truly. I just want to state at the end of my writing, that there are no specific rules to write blogs, you have to be serious while writing it and take responsibility of your written text. Your blog is your own and you can do whatever you like on your blog, if you are a new breaker, then wreck it, write timely posts and post it over the sites and get spontaneous response.

For those of you who are new to this blog, I would like to tell you that we are here discussing about principles that you can follow to persuade your potential buyers into buying your product through effective marketing. You can subscribe to our news feed and get regular updates from our end.

There are loads of internet companies which will do marketing for you, but how many of them really exist and give you the results that you want, now here is the big question, if at all you decide to do your marketing how can you go about it, how do you find a perfect resource to rely on. Some famous names like Mike Filsaime, Jeff Walkers, Eben Pagan are some of the internet biggies in the world of marketing over Internet. These individuals have a million dollar product businesses over Internet and has a huge audience following, if you are a regular over marketing sites you might have heard these names some time in your dealings with these big companies, whatever may be the case, there is surely one thing particular about them that they are making money online through selling product information online and these information are a promise that is a secret for making big money online, you might well wonder what is this big secret and how can you make money online it at all you plan to get into this business. the question everyone is asking today is how these people come up with such secret and are there really any profits involved?

There are many companies selling their online money making kits, but these sound to be very costly sometimes they amount to more than $3000 and no guarantee. Even if the price is big, people are still letting it go for the fact that they will make money and recover it, lot of such kits have been helpful to people in making money the various of these programs are Mass control, product launch formula and blog mastermind, there are lots of things to learn from these product kits. Whatever the courses you might attend to, there is one lesson to learn that all the internet market is based on foundational concept and influence, whatever you might sell to anyone that person should be influenced by you and your product to be worthy enough to buy your product against other competitors. Marketing is action which involved hard selling and easy pricing and easy profits. Its very necessary to understand what the opposite person might be influence about so that he will buy your product.

There is one very popular book on Influence which is known by the name “The Psychology of Persuasion” by one famous author named Robert Cialdinie and I can assure you that the book is really fruitful for all Internet Marketers as it states methods which will give you great assured success rate. If you have this book then you don’t need any other expensive gadget or a book or a lecturer or a workshop to attend, this book has all the information from famous books and different methods which you can apply in your daily business. Robert in his book states that to succeed in internet marketing you need to follow 6 hard core principles which are a must for internet marketing, these includes scarcity, liking, reciprocity, commitment, authority, social proof, if you follow them blindly then there is no stopping you, you can reach greater heights in business everywhere.

You are surely going to get good effective results to following these 6 important tools or essentials to make your business marketing efforts a real success, the art of persuasion is not born it is made out of efforts which will assure your buyers of your products. The main 6 principles are briefly discussed over here, for details you can surely buy or rent this book which will give you immense knowledge about the essentials of marketing.

The very first one is reciprocity – we know that business involves give and take relation, whether its money giving or a barter exchange you have to gain something in return. Internet business involves assurance you cannot sell anyone to anyone, you have to have good reason to sell it and provide a real value for the product to your customers. In business you cant afford to have loyal friends or loyal customers, they will switch to other brands if they are not satisfied with your product, so use the best of all the resource you have to persuade them in buying the product.

You can add value to your product, by putting your product profile in ads, newspapers, hoardings, writing a blog providing vital information on the product, etc. this way people will appreciate your efforts and try your product against other products of similar category.

Scarcity is one another thing which needs to be taken care of, when it comes to business remember one thing the more scarce the product it will fetch a real good value, remember the days when you used to go shopping for Christmas and people used to head for one unique product item, the mental psychology of people is such so even the fad of all products will yield a good price if marketed properly. Having a scarcity in your business some might say a bad sign, but it is a powerful weapon which will increase the product value and validity, it is similar to that of someone collecting old stamps, old coins, etc. remember if you have some scarce products, market them properly and give correct value of its use to the people. You can also build a rare scarcity in to your products, you can say to your clients about limited supply from company and that prices will increase in a short while. You can quote a special price for the product for a particular date that will assure your buyers to buy them quickly.

Liking is something that comes and should come naturally, a person is persuaded into buying a product only when he likes it otherwise no one is going to spend money on it. We know and we trust people you are close to, so building good relations is important in business, with proper transparency both the parties can trust each other and have good mutual bond with their audience. You can have or built up various affiliations in business world and try connecting to the people this way. You can send them links through various internet ads companies and also writing blogs can help for people would know more about the product and its uses. You can even state your own opinions regarding the subject matter.

Authority is a must for expanding your influence over people, you just cannot start selling products unless you have detailed knowledge about the product. You have to have good knowledge about the product and be an expert in the field. People should be benefited listening to you and their experience with you should be a pleasant and knowledgeable one, the benefit should be in the form of knowledge which will persuade them into buying your product after knowing its benefits.

May whatever you do be on the top list of achiever, whether its in marketing or doing business with your clients, when you give your 100% to them then shall you get true returns in terms of profits, you can share your ideas or views or comment on your thoughts and those written by others.

Social – proof is something you cannot ignore, we all know that its human tendency to follow people, follow up comes when you have trust on the person you are following, it is but obvious for the people to look at what others are doing and try doing the same thing because its popular. Take for example the case of a restaurant, you are new to the area and you want to eat, there are number of restaurants in line in the area but you tend to go and eat where there are more people because of the social proof that the food is good in the restaurant.

The same thing you can apply for marketing of your business and your product, try providing social proof to your clients or customers or buyers this would be the best example for them to understand and see for themselves about the validity of the product and its usage.

Consistency is what people ask for in any transaction, people get obsessed with your products only when they get used to it, and they will get used to it only when they are comfortable in using them. Success doesn’t come in just one day, it’s a gradual process which assures your buyers of all the experiences with you and while using your product too. You have to commit yourself entirely to business for the well being of your clients and customers, their happiness should be the top priority.

If you are very sure of your success rate then you can well go ahead with your plans and achieve your success. Choose yourself one thing which you can master in and see the results, you should be real passionate about the work you are doing if its marketing then give all your efforts the best of skills you have. We have seen lots of books about marketing and the prices are also sky-rocketing so the best way to cut cost is to follow robert’s guidelines given in his book and also what is stated here. This is just a short and brief idea about his book and the people who have understood this well would not require a book at first place.

You can share your views freely with me, regarding whatever written on influence or psychology, you can also comment and advice on things you strongly feel about.

It is not that I am picking on Freelance Writers, this just happens to be one example of Unprofessional material that I have seen, day in and day out, on an endless number of websites that I have landed on. I realize that this may sound like a petty issue to some people, but when you stop and think about the fact that I am talking about website masters that claim to offer high quality and professional work, the problem runs much deeper than mere pettiness.

Why Are Errors Found On Websites So Upsetting?

There are countless times that various individuals will end up spending a large amount of their time and effort in trying to locate a professional firm that can provide them with a specific type of service or product. However, when a slew of errors are found in the heading and in the content of the specific website they are viewing, more often than not, the person will generally begin to question just how much quality really will be provided in their services after all. If a business does not have the commitment, the time, or the consideration to make sure that their company website is published before the public in a professional manner, then why in the world would a person believe that they would take the time to provide commitment in the services they are offering?

Do Not Bother With Excuses

Ok, so not everyone on the Internet is an error proof expert with grammar or spelling, and I will be the first to tell you that I am certainly not. This is simply not a good excuse! There are a ton of people that would be more than happy to help website owners by proofreading the content they plan to place on their site. A family member or one of your buddies can be a good place to start. If this is not an option, then you could hire one of the numerous Freelance Writers that can easily be found online. There are a wide variety of sites that offer high quality content and other writing services, at very reasonable prices.

The business site that you end up publishing on the Internet has the chance of being viewed by millions of people. This is why it is very important to make a good first impression, especially if a successful site is your main goal!

Giving birth to your own blog is as beautiful a experience as tendering to a new born child, a one of its type experience that you will never regret in your life, your blog may not attract attention from people in just one day it’s a gradual process and will get to the target as time passes by. The point that a written blog itself can stimulate anyone’s thought is itself a very amazing thing, you can change a person’s mind block through your writings. As a child comes to world after 9 months of its inception so does the same thing for work, to build its solid network of readers on your blogs it takes time and determination to grow to the highest peak.

There are so many things you have to look to while planning your blogging network, after a careful judgment and valid plans you can come upon a perfectly powerful blog which will influence your audience and listen to your say. Planning your own blog network is like planting a seed which will give you good seeds in the future, blogging just doesn’t come in one day, it doesn’t emerge out of no where, you have to put your efforts in bringing it up. Whenever you see any big network of bloggers, just think someone once made big decision and taking risk in starting their blogs, its so much exciting to see your network of blogging grow in to a real big blogger’s network, you can put up your own ideas, your own thinking, your own writings in your own blog. You can even build up your own community where you can share your views and also learn lots of things, writing blogs can earn you much more money than your 9 to 5 job may be paying you.

Before you head out for writing your own blogs make sure to write down your goals and plans on the paper, then slowly get your physical plans into implementation, also be specific to the point which you want to write your blogs on. May whatever time it may take to start with your blog, choose the right path even if it means letting your plans getting postpones. Hurrying up may speed your work but you will never get the quality for the same. Nurture your creations with creative ideas on the blog, get advise from experts in the field and make sure you write interesting things on the blog that is going to attract people from all genres of life. Shape your blog the way you always wanted using your ideas, advise from experience people and get your thinking into actual implementation, start thinking over the type of design, the colors that you are going to use in your designs and develop concepts which will attract more audience in to your project.

Put creative time in shaping your blogs, just don’t do it for the heck of it, try and give as much efforts you can give in shaping your blog because the efforts put at the start will yield good fortunes in the future. Pump your blog with good items for people to read as the baby is continuously fed with nutrients and energy food. Try and get maximum of information to put in your blog and make people addicted to read your blogs on a daily basis. In blogging world, remember the fact that the content is what makes the final say about the text you have written, introduce people slowly and steadily to the point you are trying to get them to agree, marketing is what makes your blog popular but only when it is good enough to market. A baby comes out of the womb after going through labor pain similarly for blogs you have to go through the pain also accept negative comments from people before reaching the highest point. When you nurture your blog with good informative topics then is the time that you have been really successful with the matter you wanted to convey to people.

Join different social networking site where you can  make your blog popular by getting your creative ideas in to marketing of blogs, you can also try giving comments to people on other blogs network and also comment on your own blogs too. In the world of blogs, there is nothing like marketing in actual terms as you get your blogs in to A listings you will automatically become popular through suggestions of people. as you have started with your blog, your blog is born and you are also feeding it with information that people want to read but its not over yet, blog is a continuous process, new information has to come in and keep people entertained.

The only time you have to stop is when you want your blog to die, it is obvious that you will never want this till the time you are alive, so its obvious that you will try and keep trying your best to get the best in your blogs and make it worthwhile. While maintaining your blogs good things as well bad things will occur to you but you need not worry and get up set you have to drag it full-fledged with positive approach with positive talks on your blogs. When your blog is growing you are surely going to face many problems but never let those problems get in to your ideas of growing your network, you will face number of problems like spamming, hackers, haters, content scraps, bad comments, etc. but you only choose your path to success rather than getting distracted. This is the only way you will get to success. Listen to yourself and go ahead writing whatever you feel on a particular topic.

There are bloggers who just go about writing and try connecting to people over different social networks but they fail to understand that they can nearly take advantage of this phenomena and make more people coming to their blogs. It just doesn’t happen with you writing stuff, you have to create great powerful ideas so that people get attracted towards your blog and also take interest in reading them. Your ideas are your main weapons through which you can persuade your audience in to agreeing with your ideas and reading them further. So now lets a take brief look as to what Ideas mean.

Ideas are what we are made up of, they are our personal philosophies, you don’t go to anyone for seeking ideas, ideas just emerge in your minds which are fine tuned in brains, and they are made up of our very own views, opinions and beliefs. Our ideas are mostly based on our life’s experiences and the relationships which we maintain, they are basically the memories left in our mind of all the past experiences of life, the experiences and acquaintances of past is what makes our own idea and the thinking matter.

As it rightly said by Victor Schwab that the mind is a montage of impressions, bromidic wall sentiments, generalities and sentiments, to make it more simpler take the case of the idea of branded goods, while you are saving in on your money what is the best way to ignore buying branded stuff, it may be done through the talk that “money is wasted buying branded goods”. So you may make your opinion accordingly and a good idea to not buy branded stuff there by saving on your money.

Some people who are crazy about brands may like buying only branded stuff, they may opinionate that spending money on brands are a good use of money, this is the time when people disagree with each other for different view points and then comes dislike for each other, but if opinions match of both the parties then the parties might appear as like minded individuals and there would be no disagreements. It is commonly seen that when we are searching for some important information you might first go asking to the people who you trust the most, or the people who are experts in the field. But its after all a human tendency to go and attend to people whom we trust or rely on the most, reliability upon another person comes when they think likewise, the philosophies of people which are aligned in the same directions or the ideas and visions match.

We start trusting individuals when through some experience you might have gained or felt nice or not cheated, the feeling of trusteeship comes by associating with different types of people whose ideas we already like and resonate with. Take the example of Michael Masterson, who is a successful business with $300 million fortune, states that all we people want to get is to understand to get a way of life which is meaningful to us, everybody has the idea of how actually the world should be and what it is.

You may go for shopping for hundreds of products, and see thousands of products for that, but you will finally buy the product whose viewpoint coincides with what the mental block of that product we have prepared in our minds. And if you happen to find a person who will explain you of the methods to run the world there are mostly the chances of you sticking to that person’s view points forever. The same type of phenomena also applies to blog readers, people come and visit your blog out of curiosity to learn more about the lines in the linked pages, they come only with the trust factor that they agree to your opinions written in the blogs. The main reason behind this is that they mostly agree with your viewpoints and connect well to your language and power of writing. Let me give you a nice example that will illustrate it further more better, say you are a regular reader of John chow’s blog and you also follow him on twitter, he might have thousands of subscribers too who love reading his lines guiding them to the true path of life.

Most of us who are regular readers know this already and most of you would agree to John’s idea that you should blog about the things that you are really passionate about, we feel so connected to that person because it shows in his/her writings. Once you get connected to the person, you start trusting that person and they become your regular readers, there may be possibility that some people may not agree to your idea and would not like to trust you and so next time they will not come to your blog to read your articles.

Sometimes you hear logical reasons from people when you ask them why visit so and so’s blog, they will have number of reasons to say, that the information is great, they feel connected to the person writing the blog, they relate their stories to the story given in blog, etc. human beings are irrational and get emotional often we have seen marketers experience this often. People visit blogs which are more subjective in nature, we might not realize this but indirectly we agree to the blogger’s ideas, their opinions, their views and their beliefs. Below given are some of the things that you can keep in mind and start doing:

1. Share your ideas with others and give views or opinions to others regarding whatever you feel about a particular thing. When you are giving information over the blog make sure that you state your views, also don’t forget to include the ideas about particular topic you strongly feel about. Start giving straight opinions regarding a particular topic without feeling anything, follow your mind and speak out. when you give out strong opinions over the site they become your pillars of support.
2. Along with the blogs that you write you can also include some short stories relating to you over the blog that would make your blog really special because it has your personal touch. May whatever you might be writing about, make sure to add a little personal touch by including your little stories of your ideas or experiences or dealings in the past, we know that people love to read ideas or stories, so you go ahead in writing and let them enjoy your stories.
3. When people disagree with you on some point, don’t apologize for the same as you have written what you believe in. whenever you say people disagree with you or have negative feelings about you then you got to celebrate as per John Chow’s advice, whenever people go against you remember that you are doing great job for this reason they want to stop you.

When you have respect for yourself and you thoroughly believe in what you write then it should not make any sense to you whether people might speak positive or negative about you. Don’t be of double-minded stay on one particular thing you believe in and state it on your blog without any fears, don’t become weak by anyone’s opinion stay by the truth that you believe and if possible make them agree to your point of view by giving an example which they will like and which relates to them. Don’t ever make them feel about your wavering opinion instead be confident and face everything straight from hear.

There could be similar like minded individuals like that of your, these are the people who feel connected to you and they feel so close to you because of your statements in the blog. These people will focus on your opinions and you will get good attention from them.

There was a time when Lou, an MBA by profession was the hot favorite in industrial circles mainly because of his fine tuned productive system. During that time creative artists like Jack and Marla were not taken seriously of having those qualities, it was just one step back from Lou’s end and people are turning their heads to Marla and Jack to do business with. There might be something that is attracting people towards Jack and Marla, even Lou might be or is not aware of. The word creativity and individuality were very far from business world and why suddenly there is great demand in corporate world today, may be that those serious individuals holding high posts in office might have realized that there is something else in the world of business other than capitalist business and that there is even more than chasing dollars and there can be minds which can be curved artistically and there exists talent with innate creative minds. There is more to the mind than what our eyes see; somewhere inner in our heart we lounge for peace and being an artist has its own pleasures in life.

There are lots of opportunities if we search for one, the exciting and thrilling opportunities that we see are actually the tip of economic iceberg, you have to prove yourself to exists in this highly competitive business world. We have to mould ourselves in the present shape of the economy then can we reach our  goals and fulfill them. As Daniel pink states in his new book that we are moving from information age to conceptual age where everything is based on the concepts. The economy as its advantage and professional success doesn’t just come through logic, skills but also from concepts, designs, creativity, relationship skills, etc. so all the people who had great demand near about in 20th century are making way for storytellers, artists, inventors, consolers, designers, caregivers and the people who are thinking big in terms of productivity and profits for the company.

The writing is basically for US denizens, in his book Pink identifies 3 fundamental reasons for the change that has occurred in the last century.

1. United States of America is a rich nation and all of its economy is flooded with surplus products, it has adequate resources to fulfill its nations needs and the demand from the people. the goods here are reasonable priced making it affordable even for a common laymen to afford it. The country has never faced any crisis like in developing or under developed nations, this very reason have made its consumers more discerning and more demanding. There are different demands from consumers like attractive packaging, products to be attractive or something which will excite them in buyin.
2. We have seen many a “made in china” products not only it has wider demand all over the globe but they are cheap rated so the people good attractive things at throw away prices. As we have seen the main hub for computer programming are asian nations like china and India, they have made their mark in industries like copy editing, accounting and engineering too. What drives all this? Its money, says Pink, the author of the book, a designer in India get $1000 for chip designing job where as the same person will get $7000 for the work this is leading to brain drain and economies all over are getting unstable.
3. The age of automation has marred everybody and everything, it was in the year 1987 that chess grand master Garry said that no computer can ever beat me and in 1997 the IBM computer deep blue beaten him to everybody’s amazement. And more recently it was heard that Kasparov stated that after some years they be capable of beating everybody in any match. What Pink tries to signify here is Kasparov is a knowledge worker like any other in the field of programming, accountancy, etc and we have seen even doctors are making use of automated computers to help them. Automation has lead to many a changes and there are issues which can be solved with just a click of a mouse rather than moving here and there.

The concept age relates to survival, Pink asks us 3 questions before we set out on our decisions:

1. before handing over the work to some party, ask if there is possibility to get the work done cheaper overseas?
2. Can you make use of computer to do your task?
3. Whether whatever you are offering in abundance is in demand?

Ask yourself these questions before heading out in taking any major decisions. Creativity is not about fun thing or stuff you can relate to spending nice times. It’s a talent, in-grown talent which takes efforts to come up with creative ideas after all if you want to survive in the economy. In my experience I have seen that its difficult to automate the task which are creative in nature or rather complex in nature. Creativity helps you transfer utilitarian products in to artifacts that everybody would love looking at, its all about the design, the shape, the utility, the features that people would love using probably that may be the reason people stand out in queues to get the first hand on an I-phone or an attractive gadget.

The people who have the capabilities to show their creativity in their work or products will surely gain financial rewards and you would say that people with such unique talents are treated like rock stars, in the case of Marla, after all creative talents are must in this economy. Recently I attended the Innovation edge conference held in London which was organized by National Endowment for science, technology and arts which is commonly known by the name (NESTA). The theme was that of creativity and innovation and whether they are really critical to the future of the economy of United Kingdom. The subject was put up in academic terms.

We know the increasing competition in the economies all over the globe and innovation is the key idea to survive in this economy, you can exploit and implement as many ideas you wish when it comes to making use of your creativity. We have seen mature economies like the US and the UK putting all of their strengths in manufacturing, yielding them good creative results because of the creative use of their ideas, we have always dreamt of being an innovative nation like that of US. The new labor government which bought us cool image of Britannia ads, thanks to the wonders done by creative industries, today London is recognized as the key destination for creative ideas a total of 20% of UK’s workforce is engaged in creative world which has great rivalry with financial services also. There was on of these conferences named with the title “where the UK leads and for how long”, the seminar specially focused on different challenges faced to maintain the tradition of surviving in the innovative world, we cannot take things for granted like that of US. The bottom line of the matter is that you will suffer if you too take up a path like that of Lou.

The idea of focusing on the creative work appeals to westerners especially when you are shipping them with new ideas and generating the new innovative ads and stuff, the ideas might sound as appealing but they are equally dangerous too. China provides unlimited resources because everything here is automated, it is still not content with what it is producing at larger scales across the globe, whether it may be an economic foresight or a cultural pride, china knows it for sure that the cheap labor cant stand the booming period for longer time. The driving national mission of the country no more remains in traditional labor intensive units its more of a media, fashion, design, latest technology and stuff.

This was the first ever impression I got about the china designs which are not exhibited at V&A museum in London which showcases the glittering fashion, graphic design, and architecture which is so similar to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Still there is plenty of evidence of Japanese and western influence and there are yet many memorable and startling works which has a distinct Chinese identity, lots been said and done about Chinese economic power as the labor here is cheap and human resource is huge the most attractive thing that stuck me here at the Chinese exhibition was its cultural wealth which rediscovers the pre revolutionary heritage that is actually a rich source to get inspiration for the modern day Chinese creativity.

Going through the recent book written by Michael Keane which has the Chinese government and business leaders as its main topic of discussion are focusing on replacing “made in china” to “created in china”. This needs to take up a great leap forward which is so very much imminent, the world factory is after all not always the priority through developmental aspect. China is no doubt a number 1 contender for cultural and service economies around the world.

In the Book Keane makes a point that there are lots of important barriers to innovation in political system and Chinese economy. It’s the western industry that enjoys the creative head start which is again reflected in the fact that they have showcased Olympic buildings at china design show out of which only one was designed by Chinese architects. But through this mega exhibition, Chinese have made their point clear by letting their creative ambitions know to all different nations of the world.

Whatever part of the world you are or whichever city you may be in things are perceived differently and every view will give you different opinion too. But globalization brings all different banners of the world under one roof doesn’t matter whether its Shogi, chess, or xiangqui or even if its new board games finally what matters is the view. A single entity or a single nation cannot decide upon the rules of the games and thus collaboration is a must in different cases of the life as we have seen that Jack is coming forward as a players and Marla a grand master in her world of arts.

Whether you like or not, money will travel to the destination where there is abundance of currency and loads of labor markets too. The labor and current markets makes it the ideal destination for making profits. You have to just charge the premium amount for giving the services so cheaply. Develop your own skills and tuck yourself in a race, a price war and mark your own prices in the market with your inner talents. Change brings a lots of difference in the economy, the 3 As here are automation, Asia, and abundance with increase in technology there is abundance through automation especially in Asiatic regions of the world.

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.
